Port Royale 3 looks really good. Any opinions?

 

[AlexBasch]

Ah, crap, Rainbow Six Vegas doesn't run in 16:9 resolutions. :/

 

[Link Man]

Has Witcher 2 been a daily yet? I can't remember, but I seem to recall a -75% price at one point.

It's cheaper at GMG with the voucher.

Not on this sale, no.

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

I should probably pick up FLT but I kind of only like games that I can "finish", and I hear that's incredibly difficult in FLT.

That and my backlog...

Speaking of, which should I play next?

Ys Origin
Metro 2033
Hotline Miami
Botanicula
Renegade Ops
Darksiders 2
Assassins Creed 3

Edit: Forgot about Origin! I also have Syndicate and Amalur to play.

So.. did I miss anything Amazing?

Did gamersgate do anything again?

It's a good idea to always check wsgf if your games doesn't have native widescreen to see if there's a fix

It was -75% as a weekend or mid week sale not long before the winter sale started.

XCOM for $17.50 on GMG. But only if you can convince their system to take your money.

This is also true for King's Bounty: Warriors of the North. GMG putting the pressure hard.

These community votes are ridiculous. Natural Selection 2 was still on sale until 10am PST today, but now we get another rehash of the same deal? They aren't even trying anymore. I never thought I would be so tired of a Steam sale. Bring on the real deals Amazon and GMG!

 

[Isaccard]

Voting for Natural Selection 2. That game needs more attention than it gets around here.

Checked there but couldn't find a download link. I think I have gone completely blind.

Thanks anyway.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Voted for Chivalry, just cause....

 

[IcyRhythms]

So is AC3 just a poorly optimized disaster or what?

I feel that it's not even the size of the discounts (while that is a small part of the problem), it's the fact that they are rehashing community, daily, and flash sales. I feel like it's been the same games over and over. I would like to see a lot of the lesser discounted games have some sort of percentage off. For example, I haven't picked up Unity of Command (or Magical Drop V) because for some dumbass reason I believe that they may go cheaper and with my luck the day I buy one is the day it shows up as a flash deal or daily deal. I don't know why I bother checking steam around five times a day because only one or two of the games I've bought during this sale have been any type of "deal".

I can do max settings on a 570 at 30-60fps, seems fine.

Agreed. They've known forever how many days this sale was going to last. That they couldn't line up an appropriate number of games to actually have unique daily/flash/community choice deals on is ridiculous. If they don't have enough games to have special pricing for, then shorten the sale length.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Thanks to Haunted for Darksiders!

You're awesome.

 

[dot]

I was gonna vote for Chivalry but realized Natural Selection 2 would be cheaper if it won so i voted for that instead.

Both look like awesome games though.

 

[GK86]

FTL...believe the GAF hype. :0


Fuck Solar flares, my poor crew members. ;_;

 

[chixdiggit]

Agreed. Best multiplayer game I have played in a long while.

Those solar flares started fires which killed my crew. Jump asap before too much damage is done.

 

[dreamer3kx]

First time playing Bastion, so good.

 

[Soi-Fong]

I'm starting to regret my deluxe edition. I'm just hoping that Ubi puts out a patch since I've loved what I've played till Boston.

Also, where the f*** is my Mark of the Ninja daily??!!

Also, I just got my GF into FTL and she's loving the hell out of it. She's been having fun naming the crew after the cast from Big Bang Theory.

Another victim of solar flares....

Nothing like getting boarded by four guys, detroying your engine (bye, bye jumping), then getting fires in you oxygen room, while still trying to kill those bastards withour dying because you know, you're only 3 people, then getting more fires and less Oxygen while you struggle repairing the engine without sucess....


Yeah, that's FTL (and that was easy mode).

I swear it was a flash deal at some point.

Edit: 3 days ago confirmed.

 

[Soi-Fong]

It was. I missed it... *_*

 

[Def Jukie]

Anyone know what format and quality the FTL Soundtrack is? The one thing I don't like about soundtracks on Steam is you never really know what you're getting.

 

[zchen]

hmm, was debating if I should get CIV5 GOTY upgrade for $5, but time passed. oh well

 

[esai]

picked up ftl and a new video card to play all my new games. not sure about xcom. i hope the darksiders franchise pack goes back up on sale.

MP3.

 

[Liamario]

I'm starting to see a lot of repetition in these deals. Very disappointing.

 

[Def Jukie]

What bitrate are they?

 

[Exuro]

Xcom is $17.50 on GMG(steam redeemable) with this code GMG30-DPLIM-DN831. It's a great deal for a great game.

 

[Eusis]

I almost wonder if the repetition is a psychological trick to just go "to hell with it" and buy a non-sale game before a sale pops up, given Giana Sisters was in the running for a community vote before FINALLY getting to be a daily yesterday, and that's it. But, yeah, it seems largely we're just getting games repeated, and if that's the case and we saw all their cards I may go ahead and grab some of the stuff I've been eyeing.

 

[JaseC]

What bitrate are they?

256Kbps.

 

[Painraze]

good lord AC3 is fucking gorgeous. I just got to Boston (with all my settings set to MAX) and I'm not getting any framerate issues or anything. Multiplayer is just as good as it ever was too.

 

[JaseC]

I want Primordia at a deal

Surely it'll show up as a Daily/Flash Sale eventually, just like every other CC game.

Garry hates us all. Leave it up to the Steam Community to make the right choice! AND WE NEVER DO.

GAF be slippin'.

 

[Def Jukie]

256Kbps.

Thanks. I'll probably just go the bandcamp route. I'm one of those audio snobs.

 

[JaseC]

I particularly enjoy the Frontier. It's quite lush, especially compared to the emptiness of the countryside seen in previous AssCreed games.

Until it goes on a daily deal, community vote or flash deal.

Then you'll come back here bitching and complaining about buying it before the sale went up.

Daily, Flash sales and community vote are always the same discount. So, if a game you want goes up in any of them in any amount you find acceptable, buy it.

More like FUCK MANTIS RAIDING PARTIES. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

 

[Mognet]

I'm still waiting on a The Secret World deal...

I hope it comes soon although I will probably still buy it for 25% off if it comes down to it.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

Okay I've played a couple games of Chivalry now and I'm just fodder for everyone else. I'll stick with it but so far it's a "meh" for me.

Just played the first couple of levels of Sine Mora and damn that is fun.

Also, so happy to have gotten in on XCOM at $20 via Gamefly. Just lost my first squaddie today and it felt bad. What a great game.

I can no longer resist.

Also I just started Botanicula and it's immensely charming.

Yeah.. I let my GF play on easy her first play through. And basically in the 5th sector she got boarded and they just went ape crazy on the ship.

 

[JaseC]

I'm a huge fan of Amanita's work. Please tell me you've played Machinarium.
