For what it's worth: I linked my Facebook profile, got the ticket, then unlinked it straight away. The ticket stays.

Oh wow that actually works, thanks! Last time they did something like this, like the 10 friends thing, you had to keep them until the contest was over or the mark would go away. Glad they changed that.

I have the Jedi Knight pack and Kotor so the Star Wars deal would no good for me. Plus, Force Unleashed would be a waste of 30gbs.

OMG!! I hate this hotel's internet. It's so god damn slow, I've been looking at the "Review+Purchase" screen for 5 minute, and all this time it just says "Working...". Wish I'm back home right now.

Any reason a game shouldn't be added to your library straight away?

No, grab the confirmation email you received from Steam for purchasing the game and contact support. The step you take once you buy the game is to install it, if that didn't happen and it isn't in your library, contact support.

Think I'll get the Heroes packet as well. The black ops sale is a joke. Shogun could be 10€ cheaper too :/

It's cheaper to buy the whole bundle than to buy San Andreas on it's own, if that means anything. My Vice City also says -33%. Only the bundle is a daily deal.

Okay, thanks for the info!

Please do yourself the favor. You cant describe how amazing this game gets as soon as it clicks.

Too many people, and the servers can't catch up. It will get added eventually, happened to me with the horrible pre-order situation for Magic: The Gathering.

3rd from bottom. It's jump into a pool of water while on fire. The achievement is being added in the update that's currently updating TF2. Downloading damn slow for such a small update.

StuBurns, do you have your Steam library set to display only installed games?

So Force Unleashed 2 is shit then? Should I skip it?

Absolute rubbish compared to the first, and super short too. I guess as a deal it might not hurt to try, but I actively tired to warn people away from it when it first came out, when it was selling at RRP.

After watching some videos it looks right up my alley. I'll definitely be picking it up when I get home. :)

why?

Eh, I just was never a fan. Controls bad, terrible AI, worse community. There's still servers up, last I checked (I last played a few months ago because nostalgia), but they're populated by kiddies and weirdos.

Maybe you'd like it, but objectively it really is bad and has aged horribly. I don't imagine you'll play it more than a few minutes.

Trust me, Luke.

KotoR for 2.50? Yeah that'll be two things I've purchased today.

Don't pass this deal up. Especially those who have never played it.

I just bought a game and it hasn't been added to my Library. Some bullshit.

That happened to me yesterday with the Telltale pack. It took till 9pm cst last night the two missing games to show up in my library. They also added Puzzle Agent 2 to my library and updated the complete pack with it, which is nice.


I'd stay away from DMC, it was cheaper during last years summer sale, I paid 7.50 for it. Don't encourage Capcom.

Also, everyone should download the demo for Hamilton's Great Adventure before dismissing it.

I ALREADY OWN IT!

Would probably jump onto the Might and Magic Franchise pack if I didn't already own Dark Messiah (I really like that game).

Yeah I know all the warnings on it but I'm debating with myself whether it's worth $10. At $5 it would have been almost a guarantee buy but I'm just not sure.

Hmm, JC2 I will get. Kinda want GTA but I know I don't neeeeed it. Decisions, decisions.
Also it's kinda sucky that DMC4 is still $10, even though it's quite old at this point.

Man, my download times are so touch and go during the sale. Yesterday, the Bit Trip games and Lead and Gold games downloaded super fast, but today Hamilton is just crawling. I've got a feeling that I'll be doing most of my downloading after the sale is over.
