Dirt 3 gonna go on sale tmr? B-but, I like, JUST bought it!

Is it sad that I thought about buying it for $30 on Steam when I pre-ordered it for $45 on Steam already?! I just want to buy things. D:

Is this wishful thinking? I've been looking to buy Crysis, dammit.

Crysis & Warhead were $10 together in May. It's one of the usual suspects in Steam sales though so have faith!

It's great for me, since I love EA, and I can find unbeatable deals using the Origin service.

MoH was 66% off yesterday. I'd wager they'll do daily deals but won't hop in with the general discount like most games have.

I wish they would have put the DeathSpank games and Mirror's Edge on sale. Ah well.

I wouldn't give up hope just yet, if they put MoH on sale yesterday (which isn't on sale anymore), I don't see why they wouldn't treat their other games the same way.

I'm really hoping Bulletstorm goes up before the end of the sale. I'm going to be kicking myself for missing it on Origins & Gamersgate a few days back if not.

Mirror's Edge isn't on sale at all, I don't expect it to be a daily deal.

I love Just Cause 2, but I never feel like I have enough ammo or money. I need weapons to blow up stuff, but I need money to get weapons, but I need to blow up stuff to get money! Also I just tied two planes together via your grappling wire. Hilarity ensued.

L4D2 was on sale as a daily deal yesterday correct? How much was it?

Don't think it was yesterday but I believe it was $6.80 last week or the week bevore as one of the non-summer sale daily deals.

Yes, I had a lot of problems. I'll try to dig up the solutions that I used, I've got it working perfectly now though.

Edit: I believe this was it. Not sure about widescreen though.

Does this allow the game to be played in fullscreen mode?

Also a question related to Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2. Is the framerate lock at 30fps and does the game have vsync?

Nothing is really on sale for them though. They'll throw a bone or two, but it's clear that they aren't going to play nice this sale.

Would also explain why nearly every other service has been greeted with much better sales.

I do hope I'm wrong, I'd love a 66%, maybe 75% off Dragon's Age Ultimate.

Did you play the game? Or are you using an intro level as a representation of the rest of the game?

I played the game all the way through and thought the single player was a real stinker. Fairly boring gunplay with not much variety in weapon pickups compared to past games and all of the "palate cleanser" sections were poorly implemented and not fun, most especially the overhead RTS-like section which was just bad. It also lacked the roided out GI Joe machismo that made MW2 so fun as well as the sense of novelty and excellent pacing and overall design of MW1 and most definitely was barren of amazing set pieces from MW2 and 1. I also story was sweaty balls and not very poorly told.

I wasn't able to play much of the multi player because I'm on satellite at the moment but it seemed fine. I didn't like the level design as well as the MW's but it seemed serviceable and it was as fun to play as the others.

I didn't go in wanting to dislike the game but I certainly came out that way...that said I'd still buy it at a lower price for the multiplayer.

I've always played it in fullscreen. Not sure about your Force Unleashed questions.

Any good RPGs that anyone could recommend from Steam? I've been going through this crazy RPG frenzy, and can't control myself D:

But did all those other levels play themselves? That's what was being implied.

I'm done with this years summer sale. If Dirt 3 somehow drops below 25 I would reconsider. It's the only game left on my wishlist.

Be a bit more in detail please, I'm considering the purchase ^_^

It's an FPS RPG that has rock solid melee combat, excellent environmental interaction and still holds up decently in the graphics department.

They are worth it if you are just starting the game.
