I kind of want the new Hitman game, but I also really don't want anyone to think that their horrible marketing team did anything close to resembling a good job. So conflicted.

If it helps the development team didn't do anything close to a good job either.

 

[1-D_FTW]

They really should put some warning about that Harley Quinn DLC. If I'd known it was a twenty step process involving all of the dark corners of Live, I never would have bought it. Or should I say, LIVE DLC code.

 

[sleepykyo]

Are you not the same guy that always is crapping on Valve? Yes or No will suffice.

Wrong company. He is always crapping on EA.

 

[Toki767]

Anyone want the regular version of Civ V? Just going to buy the GOTY edition when it goes on sale.

 

[TheNamelessOne]

Amazon has it for $20, id say its definetly worth it at that price. It has some really bad moments but the highs are really highs and its the best playing Hitman game yet.

So since I haven't enjoyed any past Hitman games I might like it?

 

[The_Monk]

who wants it?



the most fruitful but above board response wins it.

! (MGS Alert Sound) (I never played it and I feel bad for saying this)

 

[Derrick01]

So since I haven't enjoyed any past Hitman games I might like it?

In that case there's certainly a chance since they dumbed down so much of what made the past games special. So if you couldn't get into those then might as well give this a shot. It's certainly different enough.

So since I haven't enjoyed any past Hitman games I might like it?

that's actually a good question. The bigger problems it has is that it deviates from the Hitman formula into more of a pure-stealth kinda game, so yeah you might enjoy it. Its different.

if you also got annoyed by the jank in previous games; this game has none of that. The best thing about it when compared to the older ones is that you always pull off the thing you want to do without the game getting in the way.

I JUST bought it, lol. If you like games with a fairly relaxing pace, this is a great one.

 

[Arken2121]

For future reference, i'm willing to do 4-pack deals with people if anyone's interested. Thank you.

 

[shintoki]

Still looking for a group for Natural Selection 2-4 pack

 

[Forsaken82]

Time for me to ruin your christmas. No meta game, more lame ass badges, weak sales that don't match Amazon, and less daily deals in place of more short term flash stuff.

The steam sale magic is gone.

Thats what happens when you already own everything!

 

[J-Tier]

So since I haven't enjoyed any past Hitman games I might like it?

I'd say yes. Playing it without the expectations from the previous entries actually make this game pretty enjoyable.

 

[Green Card]

Still looking for a group for Natural Selection 2-4 pack

Same.

 

[davonaytor]

I was really hoping for a meta game this sale

I just bought Intrusion 2 solely from the Destructoid review's comparison to Gunstar Heroes and Contra. Will I be disappointed?

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

I might get Prince of Persia (2008) - how's the PC version?

 

[Levyne]

I might get Prince of Persia (2008) - how's the PC version?

I can't comment on the PC part, but the game is great! I played it on 360

 

[Lkr]

I got a lot of stuttering even in DX9. 3770k, 670 OC, 16GB RAM, SSD. YMMV. Pretty game though.

What did they do to this game? Arkham Asylum ran great on worse specs

 

[catabarez]

It is beautiful.

Thanks, I'll consider getting it. I guess it won't go any lower than what it already is on Amazon - anyone know for how long it's gonna be discounted?

 

[Addnan]

"Scribblenauts in the UK and on SALE!"

This game will unlock in approximately 2 months and 23 hours

"Fuck you Warner Bros"

Its letting me play it! Bought it in the UK and I am playing it now.

 

[Platy]

I ... don't know ><

I played this game to death in the 360 and I would play it MORE ... but ... buying or asking a gift for a game that you already beat is .. wrong

 

[Torraz]

Haven't played the game yet even though I heard good things. Never quite bit the bulllet and bought the game as I have been consciously whacking away at the ole' backlog.

 

[gabbre]

Someone for a EU Borderlands 2 4-pack?

 

[Link Man]

Anybody want the original Darksiders in exchange for Fable: The Lost Chapters?

 

[scorpscarx]

Thats what happens when you already own everything!

It's not about owning everything, he is basically correct.

If your just joining this bandwagon, then you missed the glory days of yore.

 

[Mr. Poolman]

I love the gifting requirement for the badge

 

[KarmaCow]

that's tricky cause in the browser you ussually have to reset cache and such, or wait a while..

try rebooting your phone?

If you're on an Android phone you can clear the data.

Clearing the cache and rebooting the phone didn't work, ended up uninstalling and reinstalling to fix it.

 

[Yoshichan]

Salsa...

What's so bad about this anyway? I think it'll be the first game I'll actually play.

 

[Odrion]

Hitman Absolution is like Splinter Cell Conviction in that while their decision to change the style of gameplay is detestable, what they made in it's place is also aggressively mediocre/bad.

It's very pretty though.

 

[Boss Doggie]

So wait, no more "potential free games" and coal?

 

[1-D_FTW]

Thats what happens when you already own everything!

I own a lot less the most of the the regular "Steam gaf" and I think the magic ended too.

There was middle ground to be had. They didn't have to give free games out. And they didn't need to include a bunch of mega games that killed the bandwidth servers.

But cutting the indie games from being spotlighted in cheese hunts was a shit move. Not only does it make everything less fun, but those games now languish in the basement cellar during these sales. It's all about promoting the same shit over and over (and stuff the Amazon and GMG sells cheaper anyways).

EDIT: And I'm just bitter about this Harley Quinn DLC. Watching it download from the Live D/L manager at 2 k/sec. Seriously, WTF kind of shit are they selling here?

 

[dot]

No coal metagame and the return of flash sales makes this a very disappointing year compared to last year. :/

Nothing that's interesting today. Ah well.

 

[StAidan]

OK folks, I've had a copy of Red Faction: Guerrilla in my Steam inventory ever since last years Christmas sale, and I never have any intention of playing it.

I don't know for sure whether it'll work since it's not up for sale anymore, but first person to quote me gets to find out!

 

[Raxus]

God damn, at this rate I should change my name to 'Yoshichan' online

 

[Levyne]

So....I have a copy of Portal in my inventory..... Anyone (somehow) manage to need that?

 

[Danj]

Its letting me play it! Bought it in the UK and I am playing it now.

What? How? Did you have to use a VPN or something, or is it a glitch? Because the store page says February 2013.

 

[F!ReW!Re]

Guys whats the verdict on: Wargame; European Escalation????

[MagicWithEarvin]

It is beautiful.

Cool.

I also saw the Prince of Persia Franchise Pack for $12.24... decisions, decisions.

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

Meh, nothing for me today. Voted for Monkey Island though.

 

[brokenbeans]

The game is yours pm me your steam id.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

I might get Prince of Persia (2008) - how's the PC version?

Looked great/ran great on my GTX 460.

Game is boring as fuck after the first couple of hours. You do everything you will ever do in the game within the first quarter of it, then the rest is repetition. No sense of progression at all. The only thing you unlock is various barely-different modes of automatic traversal using colored magical launch pads.

You will probably get $2.50 worth of fun out of it, though.

 

[Schmattakopf]

Still looking for a group for Natural Selection 2-4 pack

Same.

I would join as well.

 

[StAidan]

eh

Looks like you're the winner! I'll PM you my Steam ID and you can add me so I can send the gift.

 

[metalshade]

who wants it?

Actually, I do, my wife never saw me play it on my Xbox, now that's gone, she wants to see it for herself, and I'm itching to play it again on a nice system.
Would you be so kind?

 

[Concept17]

Natural Selection 2 sounds nice, but not sure I can convince friends to jump in on it with me.

Want: Blops2, Chivalry, CSgo

 

[Sadist]

So I'll try again; is the steam version of Jet Set Radio worth it? The price is right.

And oh, if anyone has a good trade suggestion for Dead Island, I'm listening
