I'll just snag these up on some future sale where they'll both be cheaper due to MEIII being released. My backlog is massive.

Still hoping for that Terraria and/or Morrowind deal. =|

I'll regret it either way.

I'm sure I'll regret it too, but there's only so much money and, more importantly for the Steam addict, time available for these things, especially the big ones.

Whats up with steam raising the price of games bullshit. Lest Remnant was not $40 last week, I was looking to purchase it and it was like $29.99 at the MOST.

It is in the UK.

We have ME2 more expensive and ME1 cheaper.

£6.80 for ME2
£3.40 for ME1

Anyone want ME1 for ME2? :p

Is there some reason everyone seems to be all up on Last Remnant's nuts? 66 on Metacritic and generally awful reviews everywhere I've looked.
Click to expand...

I think that score is based on the 360 version which IMO was virtually unplayable due to technical issues and the lack of turbo mode. The PC version fixes all of those problems.

Only bought TLR for today, I'll wait until ME3 is out, and all the DLC is done before I grab the three and go thru them all, I think they'll be cheaper over the year it takes for that to happen.

Tomorrow is it right? Then the Sunday is a best of?

39.99 is current MSRP, it has nothing to do with Steam.

Hell yes to the Last Remnant! I have been waiting for that game to go on sale for $10 for well over a year now.

Would be grabbing Fallout 3 if I didn't buy it at D2D for $8.40 two days ago. Oh well...

REALLY hoping for a Terraria daily sale tomorrow.

So is TLR playable with kb/m?
Click to expand...
Sure you can play anything with KBM, but I would highly recommend grabbing a 360 pad to keep around your PC as tons of games benefit from it and it is nice to have options (PC gaming 101).

Yes, it looks significantly better at 60 fps/1080p.

Last Remant get. Will I get time to play sometime in the next decade...I hope so.


They pulled it. It glitched on the 6th like showing people completely the wrong videos (probably couldn't handle a million people trying to get he ticket from it, kind of the like the video download one except that one only killed bandwidth).

It's back today. And yea I'm still having the same issue.

I'm starting to think that Portal 2 isn't going to be a daily deal...
Click to expand...

It was always going to be on the last day. That should come as a surprise to no one. If Portal 2 isn't on daily at some point in the next 48 hours I'll eat my hat. Hell I'd make a ban bet if those weren't...well...banned.

This. The PC version also allows you to use all of the 'leader' characters in your party instead of requiring you to fill your squads with pointless generic soldiers. It rebalances the difficulty to compensate as well; it's still a challenging game that doesn't let you slack in either character development or tactics.

All you people that want Terraria should still buy it tomorrow if it's not a daily deal. I got it for $10 right before the sale started and I don't regret a minute of it. I've already put 25 hours into it and it would be in my top 5 if we had to make a goty list right now.

The game just has a gross amount of content for that little price. It shouldn't even be legal.

Nothing for me today. Can't believe there aren't been a Morrowind daily deal yet. Also holding out for X3: Terran Conflict. I'll buy it for $10 if I have to... but grudgingly.

Has anyone played Amnesia with xbox 360 controller mapped with xpadder or something else? This game would be great on my television.

Its a really good game. I brought it for the same price a while ago an it was a steal.

It isn't "GOTY, AMAZING, INCREDIBLE!", but it isn't a "Worthless Piece of Shit that Should be Killed with Fire!".


This generation I'm sure you've noticed a trend of people labeling games either the former or the latter, very rarely people will label something as somewhere inbetween the two.

Mafia II gets lost in the middle because it is one such game. Its just simply "Really good."

Buy it.
Click to expand...

Really? I thought it was horse shit. There is no new mechanic or anything unique about that game. The missions are boring and they remind me a lot of GTA3. Everything is so predictable and I felt like I already played the game before. For example, you can only go into a couple of different stores: clothing store, guns shop, and garage. Did I mention the missions are boring? kill these people in this building...now give this guy a ride...oh look at that machine gun mounted to a wall, lets send waves of enemies to kill now! To me, it's one of those games I'll play if i having absolutely nothing else to do and I just want to kill time. It's polished and the gunplay is decent, but it's so unfulfilling and empty.

Something like that should be integrated into steam. Hell they already take a survey of your hardware... shouldn't be too hard to implement.
Click to expand...

Guessing they don't want people complaining when a game doesn't run well because the minimum requirements sometimes means playing at like 15 fps.
