So, as of now I got:

A bunch of TF2 Keys
GTAIV Complete
Star Wars Battlefront 2
Command and Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight
Sanctum
Supreme Commander 2
Hitman: Blood Money

All of that for a fraction of the price I should have paid for it.

How do I do, GAF?

Blah... disappointed. I was hopping at least Max Payne, Syberia, Still Life, Longest Journey, or Bloodlines would go on sale. Little chance for new deals tomorrow right?
I can see them doing new daily deals tomorrow to have new activities for tickets. Just like the steam treasure hunt sale, but normally the winter and summer sales have always had recaps of the best sales.

$11 left for my Steam budget this year.

Terran Conflict bought.

No DS2 :(

Hoping for $5 Blur tomorrow. Or is tomorrow recap day?

Is X3 strictly a single player affair or do any of the add ons add multiplayer? I ask because Steam's product info pages are often unreliable.
It's a single player game.

How are the controls in PC Dead Space 2? I understand the first one has terrible PC controls (I loved it to death on 360). I've been waiting for the 2nd one quite a while and I don't mind playing on PC if the controls are good.
They have the same exact controls.

People said the PC controls weren't good was because they tried forcing vsync in game (broken) instead of forcing it in your control panel.

If you haven't played any hitman game this is the time guys ... because the next hitman game will be different ... in a wrong way :(
 
I got:
King's Bounty (and all expansions)
Mount and Blade/Warband/Fire and Sword
Syberia 1
Syberia 2
The Longest Journey
Dreamfall
Amnesia

Not a bad lot really, I've completed Syberia 1 and 2 already (amazing games!) and I'm just starting TLJ now

I've never played a Hitman game and don't know which one to buy!

For me, the pair ones are the best Hitman games... and obviously Blood Money is a steal as its the same price as the others.

So yeah... at least Blood money, great game for everybody.

I kind of want Hitman Bloodmoney because I've heard good things and I've never played a game in the series.


On the other hand it is probably $2.50 that is better put toward something that won't just sit in a backlog like Dead Space 2.

No way, Blood Money for 2,50 is the best 2,50 you'll ever spend son.

So what is Neverwinter Nights 2, how does it play? Do you have a Dungeon Master and the quests are laid out by it?
Think of it like a more modern version of the old Infinity Engine games, but with a 3D camera. Same party based D&D with active pause for issuing commands and such.

Check Direct2Drive. GOTY edition is on sale for $11.95

I only have 5 bucks left which i had saved specifically for Morrowind, so that's still too much. Plus i'd like to have it on Steam.

Codename 47 is pretty awful, and silent assassin is meh. Contacts is good but it's not available on steam, and blood money is by far the best.

Looks like my total damage was right around 54 dollars plus 11.20 for the Civ V Steam code from Gamersgate. Right around 65 bucks total then.

I'm hearing F1 2011 is right around the corner. Might skip 2010.

50 vs 10.

Repost because being last on the page sucks
You can play the whole thing online but I have never really played more than 5 minutes of the campaigns online. No clue how the dialog trees and stuff work online.

for me:
WILL BUY
x3:tc fo'shizzle.. undecided about the other xs..
dlc for sup com2...
pop pack

ON THE FENCE
sam&max complete pack... loved mi and a lot of adventures like that... tried a few of the latest sam&max but they didn't really click.... is it me?
dead space pack.. worth it?

NOT FEELING LIKE
pam, not so sure..
hitman pack... nice and all but too vintage... should I? :|
portal 2.. still too much
duke nukem forever... not so sure again...
Totally worth the price. In fact I would buy it again (and again and again) if they include a feature that whipes all my memory of the game so I can experience it fresh again... and again... again...

If you like adventure games, you should also consider Whispered World.
 
Not sure why people are just getting X3 instead of just the whole pack for $10. Sure, the earlier games haven't aged very well, but I started on the first one and am working my way up, and it's awesome to see the series evolve and how much easier it's making the later games.

Also...How is Neverwinter Nights 2?

Surely you mean Warband + With Fire & Sword? Please tell me you didn't buy vanilla M&B.
 
Absolutely nothing for me today, so I'm going to brag a couple of games from my wishlist that are 75% off today and finish off the rest that are only 50% off tomorrow in some bizarre hope that they don't just do a "best of" day as expected.

Getting a Terraria 4-pack for me and some friends and NWN2. 4 copies of Terraria for less than its regular price, so good.gif
 
I can't understand this crap!!! Dead Space 2 alone is $29.99 for my region (A FUCKING THIRD WORLD COUNTRY) while the Dead Space pack is at $19.99 BUUUUUT I already own Dead Space 1.

I said "Well, it still cheaper to buy the pack and even if I can't gift the second copy of Dead Space 1 I'll get it"... but then I come to this thread and see that the REAL DEAL is that Dead Space 2 is at $14.99!!!! WTF!!!!!!! WHAAAT THEEE FUUUUCCCK!!! How is it possible that Dead Space 2 is more expensive than the pack AAAND even more expensive for people like me in a under-developed, fucked up third world country?!?!?! I know it isn't valve (because Portal 2 is priced as equal as the US offer) but EA's fault!... I know Steam made a lot of us happily get out of piracy, even in my country... but with this kind of shit that doesn't make sense AT ALL!! I don't see them helping avoid piracy.

Anyway, sorry GAF for the crap I wrote but I was just venting this agony... anyway... Dead Space Pack GET!! =D... =(... =D.... =|
 
Gods.... I can't believe it, what a crappy last day of sales for me! None of my wishlist top 10 were daily sales : DoW 2 Gold, Darkspore, Brink, Settlers 7, First Templar, Hunted, Dungeon Siege 3, Daggerdale.

Seriously disappointed, expected at least 2 of them to show up today. =/
Really hope tomorrow won't be a stupid recap now. >______<

So hitman... which ones best? Was always interested in the games. Looks like a great deal.
Hitman: Blood Money is the best in the series, and certainly the most accessible. I'd recommend getting that, if you really really love it, also check out Hitman 2: Silent Assassin

Let me show you through these halls, my friend, where treasures of indie gaming await...

Oh shit, this is on steam???????????
Oh shit. Oh shit. I need to rebuy that again probably.

Dudes, this is a greaaaaaat adventure in the vein of the classic Sierra games, with lovely characters and a nice story.

There's no new images hidden on the Steam servers, looks like tomorrow will be a best of.

So, are there only 12 deals again or do they generally do more? A friend of mine is looking to get Guardian of Light, but I'm not sure how well the Tomb Raider franchise sale did.
