[Bii]

Oh man, I want Chaos Rising.

 

[Decado]

Well, I'm safe, for the next 24 hours.

DOW2: Chaos 8-pack is $5 a piece. Jump on it.

What IS that?

How long will DoW2 Gold stay @ $13.60? The last big sale on steam I tried madly to get my account working but never could, so while I'm willing to try again, I definitely need time...

 

[Polk]

What the hell happened there? :lol :lol

it's 75% off to 7,5E

 

[Jirotrom]

What the hell happened there? :lol :lol

Its 7.50... just hasnt updated

 

[Archie]

Already own Dawn of War II and Machinarium so nada for me today.

 

[Dambrosi]

Everyone who doesn't own Machinarium within 24 hours should be autobanned.

Eff you, I don't like point-and-click games.

Nothing here for me either.

Actually, can anyone direct me to the gift pack planning thread? I wanna see if anyone still has a Deus Ex GOTY spare. Thanks.

 

[Jirotrom]

Im down for the chaos rising pack... my steam name is Jirotrom

 

[woodsey1982]

Are some of these sales > 24hr? I just picked up Machinarium and saw Audiosurf was still £1.50 and got that too.... ??

 

[spazzfish]

Would be interested in being in a Dawn of War II Chaos Rising multi bundle, but I don't have pay pal. I'd be happy just to gift a game over steam to anyone who organises things if that's cool.

 

[drizzle]

Hmmmm.. Blur for 15 bucks?

Does it even have a online community? It seems that the game didn't sell all that much.

 

[Atomski]

Hows the online community for Blur?

 

[duckroll]

All 100% worth your money imo. Freedom Force for less than a buck is absurd.

 

[luxarific]

Three days straight and I haven't bought a single game yet. I don't know whether I should be concerned or happy.

Same here. Summer sale had better deals, from my perspective. Nothing like the THQ or Valve complete packs, for example.

 

[Dice]

Tempted by Blur... kinda sucks not knowing if DA:O UE will be on sale...

 

[Domstercool]

Chaos Rising is never in a sell by itself, unless I want to buy 8 copies >.<

 

[speculawyer]

Those big gift packs are too damn alluring. For 1/2 the price of the typical console game I can pick up a slew of games to hand out to people.

I picked up the L4D2 pack yesterday and handed one out at random. I think I'll pick up the Portal pack today.

And those Indie packs have been awesome every day. Bought 3 of the packs yesterday.

 

[n0b]

Eff you, I don't like point-and-click games.

NO. YOU BUY MACHINARIUM. YOU BUY NOOOOOOW.

 

[epmode]

Eff you, I don't like point-and-click games.

Then what good are you?

Adventure = genre of kings!

 

[TheExodu5]

Arma 2 + Operation Arrowhead is only $22.50. That should be on the front page, not just Operation Arrowhead for $20.

 

[Cru Jones]

Disappointing. Nothing for me today (I would have gotten the Indie pack but I have most of those).

 

[Absoludacrous]

Are the games in the indie pack besides VVVVVV and World of Goo any good?

I have Goo on Wii, so the only game in there I really want is VVVVVV, which is $5 on its own anyway

 

[ZZMitch]

Definitely buying Mechinarium and the clever pack...

Got some tough decisions to make though
Thinking about-
Arma II
Blur
Burnout

I might wait on getting any racing games until I get my xbox 360 controller for christmas...

Is Arma II worth thw 20 bucks?

 

[Stitch]

aww man i was hoping for just cause. lame deals

most of the stuff today has a steam deal like... every two weeks lol

 

[K.Jack]

Chaos Rising is never in a sell by itself, unless I want to buy 8 copies >.<

Well, people are looking to form a Chaos Rising pack in the Pack Organization Thread.

 

[speculawyer]

Updated OP.

You should leave up the deals from the earlier days just so people can get annoyed when they miss something good.

 

[dani_dc]

Anyone without Machinarium that doesn't get it has no soul.

 

[atomsk]

waiting patiently for the indie pulse pack.

 

[Fjolle]

Phew. I already own everything interesting today.

 

[BuckRobotron]

Picked up that Indie Story pack yesterday for $5.

 

[kamspy]

And on the third day my wallet did rest.

Iron Grip: Warlord seemed pretty good from the demo, but it's an MP indie game, so who knows if there'll be anyone to play with in a couple days.

 

[John]

is Chaos Rising an expansion, or can i play it standalone? i don't own any other dow2 items.

FWIW I got burnout for less than 4 in the last sale. hold out till Xmas and save a few bucks.

 

[Bebpo]

I already have world of goo and vvvvvv; are the other 3 worth $5?

 

[BuddhaRockstar]

Freedom Force is awesome if you have any interest in-

a. The silver age of comics

b. Strategy games

c. Hilariously corny humor that is actually funny

d. Super hero RPG elements!

I bought it for like $2.50 last sale and have played it for 20 hours. Think about that entertainment per buck!

 

[slidewinder]

Standalone expansion. It has its own SP campaign (better than the original game's), and you can play MP as the new race (but only as that new race) against owners of the original game.

 

[Bonfires Down]

Is there a problem with jumping straight onto Chaos Rising if I haven't played DoWII before? I'm under the impression that it is better than the original, but will I miss some story or will it be too hard if I haven't played before? I won't have time to play both anytime soon.

 

[Government-man]

Machinarium bought. This steam sale will be the end of me. Do want empire total war and tropico as well... and maybe the indie pack

This. It's such a good game, doesn't get enough love.

 

[evlcookie]

Blur is $32 in the Aussie store :lol .

Back to sleep I go. Checking these sales at 5am isn't a good sign.

cool, i'm in for a slot.

 

[lethial]

Hmmm DOW2 pack is the only one that interests me. Loved the first one...

No, not at all. The characters are carryovers from the base game, so I guess you'll miss their "background," but that's all just crazy over-the-top badassness that you'll catch up with soon enough if it even matters. It's a much better SP game, and it eases you into the mechanics just as well as the original does. Definitely go for the pack deal if you're at all interested.

 

[speculawyer]

Oh . . . one that is awesome this year is the Steam Wallet.

Instead of freaking out the credit card company with a slew of $5 & $10 little charges, I can just get a $100 wallet credit from the credit card and then buy stuff with that.

 

[GaimeGuy]

I already have world of goo and vvvvvv; are the other 3 worth $5?

It's 3 games for 5 bucks. Go for it :lol

 

[Jive Turkey]

I just had to check my library against what's on sale.

Yep...It's officially a Steam sale.
