It suddenly hit me that I miss playing CoD4 so much but don't want to deal with the hackfest on consoles. I'm assuming its the same on Steam?

Well i think im done with this sale unless some absolutely amazing deals come in.
Caved and bought dark souls this morning i already double dipped but the better performance reeled me in again.

here is my (hopefully final :/) haul:


Assassins creed 2
Batman aa GOTY
Batman ac GOTY
Binary domain
Crysis
Crysis warhead
Crysis 2
Dark souls
DMC 4
Fear + expansion packs
Hotline miami
The last remnant
Left 4 dead
Left 4 dead 2
Max payne
Max Payne 2
Max Payne 3
Serious sam 3
Civ 5
Sim City 4
Sleeping dogs
Spec ops the line
Dawn of war 2 complete

In total i have spent just under £100.

But at least my target of not buying anything next year apart from the last of us and dark souls 2 should be more achievable then i first thought.

Anyone can explain me how they got to that 131,40$ ??? lol

Real Answer: Because more people will buy it at "77% off" which would actually be only be $15.63 (full price about $67.94). They want to sell it for $29.99 at 77% off (sounds like a nice high percentage off, comparable to the Sonic deals at Amazon)... but they don't want to only charge $15.


Guys is there a platform game like super meat boy or vvvvvv , and at the same level of difficulty ?

Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams? Rayman Origins speed-run and other challenges? Any other platform with your eyes closed?

Those two games aren't really at the same level of difficulty, but anyway, Dustforce and They Bleed Pixels are 2 excellent platformers sort of in the same style.

which is considered harder? no kidding, i completed vvvvvv and gave a fast try for SMB
 
I go into Steam sales with no planned budget. It doesn't always go so well lol. Well, looks like I'm done unless Steam starts putting up niche games for their flash sales.

The Dualshock 3 aka Fumblesticks 3 works near perfect with San Andreas. You may need to do a bit of tweaking, but it works really well.

MotionJoy and a Dual Shock 3 work flawlessly with Vice City with no faffing around. I had problems with the camera controls and the right stick if it was set as a 360 pad but works perfectly is assigned as a Playstation 2 pad.

Budget doesn't help either. I blew through my $25 in the first three days and have been salivating from the sidelines/entering contests ever since.

It had a sale during the summer at 50% off. I bought it like 2 weeks before for full price ($40). Such an amazing game, I think more people need to play it to realize this.

This has been on my wishlist for too long. It looks amazing. I was sold on the start up procedure videos on YouTube. I can't wait for the new entries in the DCS series.

Oh my god, Divinity II has a super sentai reference in one of the quests. So out of nowhere and funny.

Also funny is the dialogue and the writing in general; it's really above what other games usually offer. So many amazing lines to pick!

I'm impressed with this game.
 
bought the 2k strategy pack on Amazon, and low and behold I got a 5 dollar off credit on it on top of the price.

So for 15 dollars I got all those games... wow. I don't even know where the promo

So what DLC is missing from Civ V GOTY that I should look out for on Steam?

You still had the 2k credit from buying any 2k game this year.

Odd question: Silent Hunter III, 4, both, none? They are only 35% off, but the price isn't terrible. Note: I'm running Windows 7 x64 so that may have to impact my choice. I really enjoy Dangerous Waters, and I have SH5 but couldn't really get into it. I heard the older ones are better.

Quoting myself from a while back. Anybody?

Been a while, like almost 10 years, since I've looked for any mods for GTa but there are loads of vehicle and city retextures from real world to total flights of fantasy. There was a mod going around a while back that turned SA in to Gotham City with CJ as Batman. plus there's some pretty decent multiplayer mods but don't know how active they are now.

That caught me off guard too. The humor is pretty great, especially Bellegar.
