Bah, wanted Terraria but I can't buy stuff 'til midnight UK time because of download caps. it was practically going up in price right when I was logging in to buy it :(
 
I purchased Blood Money today, but I never played any of the Hitman games before. Will I benefit from playing the other two first, or at all? I don't know if I can play through them with the outdated graphics. I kind of just want to play Blood Money first, but I really like character and story development, and feel I should play the others also to get the full effect. Any thoughts?
 
Terran Conflict Zone seems cool.

I'll just play the shit out of Metro 2033 and then buy. Thanks.


OR MACHINARIUM. I DON'T KNOW. GEEZ I'M DRUNK AS FUCK AND I JUST WANT TO PLAY SOMETHING.

You don' t have to install right away.

You're in the UK and you have download caps?!

Switch to TalkTalk or some cable company with an unlimited plan. Freedom comes at a price, but it's oh so worth it.

You need to tell us what kind of games you like. Also don't buy when drunk. :P
 
If Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines doesn't go on sale tomorrow as a daily deal (very likely) I'm buying it anyway, deus-ex + vampires can't go wrong.

Yeah I know, but I didn't consider that the price would change so I just left it until I would be able to install it right away.

I can't afford things like "price," so I'm on PlusNet's £6.49 package. It's cheap but all I can afford! Hence major disappointment at the Terraria price

Fixed it for you, free of charge.
 
my buddy just haaad to ninja log off steam right after i pitched terraria to him (it even happens to be one of the few games his computer can run). didn't think organizing a 4-pack would lose me money.

Just buy it now. You won't regret it.

I've just jinxed you, by the way.

It's disappointing that the price of Terraria went up. I was on the fence about the game, but for $2.50, I decided to give it a shot. I saw it at it's original price earlier, but I had leave, so I figured I'd just buy it when I got home.

I guess it doesn't hurt to ask, but does anyone have a unused copy of a 4-pack that they purchased at the earlier price? PM me if you do. If not I'll probably just wait for the next sale.

If you wouldn't even pay $2.50 for the game I'm glad you didn't get it. You don't deserve it!

Edit: Quoted the wrong person! I meant to quote the guy who said NO WAY WILL I BUY IT FOR $5 I WAS CONSIDERING IT AT $2.50 THOUGH.

Sorry, Seventh! <3
 
I'm finally getting around to playing Just Cause 2 and the audio during cutscenes is way out of sync. Sometimes sounds don't even play. Anyone else have this problem and found a solution?
 
Since we're all trading stuff, I've got a copy of CivCity: Rome still from the last sale for trade, as well as a copy of Terraria I'll consider trading since it was for my g/f who will never play it.

Also, MNC 3 day pass somebody can have if they'll actually use it.

*edit* those PMing offering paypal, sorry, I'm hoping to get something different from someone so I'll get to try a new game I wouldn't otherwise. Thanks though.
 
Welll, I played Terraria for a few hours. Not sure if it was worth the price. Weird game. Not really enjoying it. There needs to be a bit more direction to it.

You didn't fix anything, you made it a double negative, meaning your "fixed" version not effectively says "Bloodline is likely to go on sale tomorrow".

If you're going to correct people, make sure you're right.

Can anyone comment on Red Orchestra's community? Is it small but somewhat active still?
It's "small" but very active, you'll never have any trouble finding a game.

At the moment there is over 8 servers with more than 16 players on RO including a full 64 players server and 3 servers with more than 22 players on Darket Hour (the biggest RO mod) including a full 70 players server.

I can always find 10-20 well populated servers but only 2-4 with good pings(I live in California). It's definitely worth the purchase if you are at all interested in the multiplayer sim gameplay.

Given that the last sale days are always recaps of previous day sales, you have basically zero chance of it being a daily.

Read it again.

I said I was, and still am, willing to pay $2.50 for the game. I decided to wait until this evening to make my purchase because when I saw it for that price, I had things to do. I didn't expect the price to go up, since the new sale was already a couple hours under way.

Edit: whoops I just saw your edit. Heh, no worries.

Really the recaps started happening last year (edit: or Xmas 09?) didn't they? It's not like they've always done recaps. (Or am I wrong and not remembering correctly? That's entirely possible). Now don't get me wrong, I don't think there are going to be new sales tomorrow, but I'm also not buying any non-dailies just in case. Steam likes to change things up.

Why is it very likely? What was the last 7 year old game thrown up into the dailies that wasn't part of a franchise package? Seriously... why is 13.50 so expensive? The game is definitely worth the money. I see people saying they don't want to buy Terraria now because they missed out on the 2.50 deal. The game is worth 10.

I blame sleep deprivation and sleep overload... 13 hours of sleep during the week and then 14 hours last night has appearantly turned my brain into mush.

People, learn to read English, he is saying it is very likely the game will not go on daily tomorrow. Yes, he arranged it a bit odd, but the statement is still easy enough to comprehend. :)

Sorry, just everyone keeps trying to correct this guy, and in doing so seems silly.
 
FUUUUUUUUU....stupid Chase QuickPay taking THREE days to clear! Now I can't get the Portal 2 2-pack for my brother and me. If anyone is willing to take a chance and buy that pack for me, I will PayPal them $5 or a spare copy of Half-Life 2 I have ASAP....

i really liked the presentation and writing but i think the gameplay was a bit lacking, in every aspect
lol

I picked it up earlier in the sale for 1.33 (OH MY GOD IT'S LOWER NOW!!!) and it's pretty good.
