Steam Winter Sales 2012 | Deal quality keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'

The Steam version of Lego LOTR has a nasty bug where the price is too high as a Daily Deal. Only known workaround requires time travel and Amazon.com.
I can get to him on normal pretty easily then I die like a chump

You get the hang of it after a while.
$17.50 over at GMG with use of the code.
Wasnt GMG had a better sale in their 24 hours sale ?

I kind of want AC3, but that is not a great price. The boxed version is $30 on amazon, but I assume it is not Steam, just UPlay or whatever. I guess I'll hold out for FC3 (willing to pay anything under $40 now) and wait on AC3.
How is the just cause 2 co-op mode?
Is it easy to set up? Can I play through the full campaign with it? How many people? Can you still earn steam achievements while using it?
I'm thinking of suggesting to my friend to pick up JC2 for after we beat Dead Rising 2
It will probably be $10-15 by the summer.

Hilarious. Easy. Its more of a sandbox than the game. No missions or anything. Just choas with 500 people
AC3 on steam is also Uplay, and patches probably go through uplay as well.

Damn

So no advantage to Steam? Steam doesn't DL or patch the game?

Think this is it. Probs same for Far Cry 3
I was thinking "eh it'll probably be that cheap on Steam too so I'll just wait for it and Scribblenauts to be dailies" and, well, oops.
:Sadface
Same as Scribblenauts Unlimited: 7.49.
Its completely different from BoI. Just grab it! You can basically play it turn based, so dont worry
No idea, but Uplay and Steam are both File manager. You can even redeem your steam key on uplay and drop steam.
In December, AC3 was dirt cheap not-on-steam like 20E. Same for Far Cry3, not even talking about the FC3 accident on Impulse.

A patch near November fixed nearly all problems. It is great at the moment.
I'll think about it then. I already spent a little too much on this sale, so for the benefit of my wallet I should wait till the next one.Its completely different from BoI. Just grab it! You can basically play it turn based, so dont worry

How is the lego LOTR game? The videos of the other Lego games I've seen look pretty boring with fixed camera angles and gameplay that is mostly collect-a-thons.
There were a bunch of balance patches and the expansion that adds religion and spies since the release. The patches do make the game more smooth, but the core game is still the same and a lot of fans were unhappy because the core game is so different than Civ4.
I like it a lot, but it is not Civ 4.
Where can you redeem keys on uplay? I bought far cry 3 the other day and the DVD won't install the game. I was hoping to use my activation key somewhere on uplay and just download the game. But I can't find anything about putting a key in uplay.

Steam really dropped the ball this year. I almost picked up lotr lego on GMG for about $12 but ended up getting it from amazon with scribbs for $7.50 each.
Could you maybe briefly explain the differences? As Civ 4 is the last one I played.
1 is an interesting concept but the missions get repetitive fast. II and Brotherhood take the concept from 1 and polish it into excellent games.
Revelations is good (I am a minority in this opinion) but it really adds nothing new and takes out a few cool mechanics too.
III is arguable as bad as I.
I highly recommend II and Brotherhood.
Yep.
Apologies if this makes stuff any more complicated but, let's say you have enough in your wallet to get *either* Civ V GOTY edition or vanilla Civ V + Gods&Kings, I would recommend the latter.
Vanilla Civ V is good with a few flaws (and the GOTY additional pack stuff add more bits and pieces to that).
By comparison, I consider Civ V w/ Gods&Kings to be great with a few flaws.
EDIT: having said that, yeah, I'm not taking into consideration any sort of sly, frugal bargain-hunting angle there, just commenting on the products.
