50% for AC3 would be even better.

$30 for Skyrim? Still? And that doesnt even include the DLC? Well, Ill be waiting until Spring or Summer sales for it I guess.
iOS version is, arguably, the worst version of that game.
Both PC and Wii versions have a "object editor" that allows you to create any object you so desire.
However, the PC version has Workshop integration, which means that you can share those creations, for free, with everybody on the service.
So I'd say yes, it's worth it.

It sounds like it's a bit more ambitious, it features a seamless world instead of small, individual levels. But as someone who owns the iOS version, my main motivation for purchasing Unlimited is Steam Workshop support. Check out the OT, people have made some pretty awesome/hilarious custom content.

Thinking of picking up some of the Half Life games but not sure I have the cash, spent most of my sale budget on that Bethesda GG deal.

What is this steam rating for?
-66% would be my guess. Although it was 66% off a few times during the Summer Sale, that was with a base price of $40. It's now $30, meaning a discount of 66% would put it at $10.20; I don't see Ubi letting a one-year-old game fall below the $10 mark, especially since it was just half off ($15) a couple of months ago (Midweek Madness).
I want Risen 2. Any good or even decent?
Now you have to buy all the things you don't ever want!
I just gifted this to JasonFrost 3 days ago and he already played 20 hours and is ranked 4th on the World Record List of Bad Rats...
Did I do him a favor or what?
This is a guy I want to gift to, holy shit.
I probably can when the new dailies hit. lol
Have to wait for the dailies!
I am, if you haven't already.

Yeah, he was talking directly to Publishers, TO OUR BENEFIT. With the full weight of Amazon he pushed for DRM Free versions of games based on fervent GAF and CAG feedback, and we saw Publishers respond with changes to not only products sold on Amazon, but Steam versions as well. He specifically pushed for game deals directly with Publishers based on direct feedback from this community. He fixed problems that people had with orders or other various technical problems with games. But apparently that is all horrendous because there is ANY kind of profit being made or contemplated. Apparently you would rather that consumers resort to what, petitions, or email campaigns, or maybe posts on developer/publisher forums, to try to motivate changes in DRM, or fix problems with the games, or get them reduced in price somehow?
"slimy". What a ridiculous load of crap.
Tony drops prices based on prices on Steam, and other US based digital distribution hubs, due largely to USER FEEDBACK. If it is from a legitimate US digital service, he will try to price match it. OUTRAGEOUS!@# As if somehow pricematching is some kind of morally or ethically suspect practice??? That is absolutely no proof or evidence for your inane claim that he was trying to slow down "the view and post count of the thread from previous years".
Your claims are unfounded and inane. Tony was the best official rep I have seen. He was a great benefit to this community specifically because he had the power to push changes directly with his employer or with Publishers on our behalf. That it was a positive benefit to Amazon's bottom line is not in someway an inherent evil or "slimy" aspect of Amazon or Tony's activities.
I know that feeling, sent an add
Hope Mark of the Ninja gets a deal today, reaaaaaally want to play it

it's how you compare yourself against other Steam users as a gamer, and indeed as a person as well.
Its been about $20 or less on GMG.
Wow. And I still think the iOS version is pretty good (haven't played any other version).

It tells you how awesome you are.
(It is based is how many hours you have played games in the last two weeks).

Ooooh Thank you I remember it now. So many hours give you a 10 I used to have a lot of 10's when I played L4D after school all the time. Oh the golden years.
Thank you
I guess I'll go with you Petrie since it looks like you offered first (thanks though kennah). Let me know if you see anything for the dailies.
The rating is only dependent on your playtime over the last 2 weeks, I don't get it's purpose either.

So who doesn't have Half-Life and Portal now?
Don't get me wrong, I don't believe it's a bad version. I never played it on iOS, but from all I've read and watched, it seems a very good version.
It's just the worst one out of the 3 available.
Never had HL, and I had portal, but never beat it.
I still don't have half-life
. I'm going to wait for next sale since most of my money for this one is being used for giftsA Human Becoming

I have to ask the same about Mirror's Edge. Those three are on sale constantly and they repeatedly hit the top of the charts. They must have sold a ton of these units by now.
I have Silent Hill: Homecoming (lol), 3 Dota 2 keys for those who want to play, Breath of Death 7 and Cthulu Saves the World that I am willing to give away. Send me a PM with what you want, first come, first serve. One game per person.
Oh and 4 Nuclear Dawn games. But I think that game's dead by now.

Skyrim.
EDIT: Or what kennah said.
It's prolly a built-in system to allow you to easily check who has been playing the gifts they've been receiv....

it's a joke, lighten up

You completely avoided what I said. No shit he talks to publishers to set prices. The problem was that even before asking Evilore, he was already talking to Publishers about providing promotional materials for OT threads. So not just sponsored threads, but using his "In" at GAF to cozy up to publishers and offer them semi-sponsored OT's they couldn't get by themselves. An offer that would benefit him in the end.
... How do you think they measure his job performance? You think they just ask him. "Oh hey Tony how do you feel you are doing at your job? Awesome you say? Well I guess we will just have to take your word for it, here's your raise"

It's difficult platformer but I highly recommend it
Let kennah do it, I was just being nice, apparently he really needs the swap! Lol

The community is okay, nothings remarkable about it. In melees there can be some team kills, but most recognize them as accidental. You have some people who dont and try to kick you, but most kickvotes are ignored unless a clear reason is given. Every server I've played on is relatively newbie friendly. The game also has a tutorial that explains the combat, different classes etc.
As for size, you can find quite some busy servers.
it's how you compare yourself against other Steam users as a gamer, and indeed as a person as well.
So does this mean that I am definitively a greater person than you, memes? Awesome!
