Wow... I just played my first FTL game ever. Played on easy and got to sector 8 without losing a single team member. However, I think normal has something completely different in store for me...

 

[Tomodachi]

Far Cry franchise pack is quite a poor deal.

I think it's still bugged, FC3 is 0% off even if the price is indeed reduced. The three separate games are cheaper than the pack, it doesn't make sense (although something like this happens once in a while on Steam).

 

[Aesius]

Ugh. paying more than $15 for a game on Steam seems so wrong.

I really want FC3 though...

 

[Omega]

lmao am I seeing this right? 0-35% off the Far Cry franchise, with the Far Cry pack more than getting them separately?

 

[Broadbandito]

the fc franchise pack is a joke. you can buy the 3 games seperately for $7.50 less...... steam has dropped the ball with these sales

 

[Miker]

I just bought Civ V Gods and Kings from GMG for $3.15 despite never having touched the original. Is any of the DLC for vanilla Civ V (civs, map packs, etc.) necessary for a casual player? If it's good, I guess I might pick up the upgrade if a 75% deal rolls around.

Wait for at least mid $20s.

 

[Wolfie5]

Far Cry franchise pack 50€ or buy seperately for 42,50€

Weird deal

It's a bug. Happened with a pack before (sonic, I believe). They fixed it.

Give in to the hype! I know I'm taking the plunge. Too acclaimed and too fresh to not play this game at that price right now. I had it pre-ordered for the physical copy but knew that the steam sale was right around the corner. I'm glad I waited.

 

[kami_sama]

Is there any way to download the TSW client before purchasing?

EDIT: Nevermind, looks like it was a pricing error!

 

[Wok]

I have taken some time to list all the games I have finished in 2012, and I am impressed. 2012 is a difficult year for my backlog.

 

[Broadbandito]

I would say buy The Secret World right now; the client takes some time to download and register.

I've been waiting and waiting for a deal for the TSW. Could've got it for $17 and change off amazon but waited for a steam sale. Now I don't know what I wants to do

 

[Aaron]

Does Orcs must die have an offline co-op mode/option.

No. 2 is online co-op only. The first has no co-op.

You have enough there to keep you busy for 100s of hours.

 

[Soi-Fong]

Im short a dollar on my steam wallet for mark of the ninja... Eff my life...

 

[Torraz]

Is there any way to download the TSW client before purchasing?

Good question.

 

[RionaaM]

50 bucks for a bundle of games that cost $42 when bought separately? Oh yeah, such an amazing deal! Thank you very much, Mr. Economist!

 

[SJRB]

Why is TSW in such high demand all of a sudden, am I missing something?


Edit - also, someone over at Valve chruched some wrong numbers with that Far Cry pack, the individual games combined are 10 bucks cheaper than the bundle.

 

[Tomodachi]

Why is TSW in such high demand all of a sudden, am I missing something?

It became buy to play, no more monthly fee.

 

[Fantomex]

Guys is there a game with building like Sim City and battles like Shogun/Starcraft.

 

[Broadbandito]

they dropped the sub

 

[Volcynika]

If you're not going to be able to get it before the end of the deal I can hook you up.

 

[Koroviev]

Spoiler

If you play that part stealthy, you won't even need to fight. Just drop down at the left, next to where Adams is standing, and follow him.

Huh, I didn't even consider that as an option. Oh well, finally made it past that part. It took

Spoiler

TWO sticky grenades to eliminate the heavy.

 

[kami_sama]

Good question.

I've installed the downloader, I'll tell you if I can download the client.
Edit: It seems that you can download the client even if you don't have a key. You can download the downloader in the account page of TSW.

Why is TSW in such high demand all of a sudden, am I missing something?

It went Buy to Play, like Guild Wars 2.

 

[Credo]

Do you need Final Doom and/or Ultimate Doom if you already have Doom: BFG Edition?

 

[Nabs]

It became buy to play, no more monthly fee.

I think there's also some sort of DLC that is free if you get it before the new year.

 

[atomic moth]

Oh wow steam has a pricing error THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE BOYCOTT STEAM HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME

 

[Prophane33]

Do you need Final Doom and/or Ultimate Doom if you already have Doom: BFG Edition?

Doom BFG is just Doom 3.

 

[Omega]

How are the Far Cry games? Never played them.

 

[derFeef]

I think there's also some sort of DLC that is free if you get it before the new year.

Is it log-in or account creation? Because you can regsiter the key before having the client fully downloaded and updated.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

How are the Far Cry games? Never played them.

1 and 3 are great.

 

[HerbertFish]

Wanted to give a shoutout to user syao, who gifted me Borderlands. This is a game I've been wanting to play since, well, it came out, so I'm very excited. Thanks again dude!

 

[CambriaRising]

Yay! FarCry 3! (Finally.)

 

[Doomrider]

Is Farcry 2 just a FPS?

What is that supposed to mean? Well, it's not just a FPS because it doesn't just have the usual corridor+setpiece campaign of many other shooters; you have an open world, where you can drive vehicles, you have story missions, side-missions, malaria, weapon degradation, malaria, and other stuff.

On the other hand, it is just a FPS in the sense that you shoot things in 1st person perspective.

It's also a hard game to get into. I can't really explain this, but for me, the game had to click, which is something that didn't happen the first time I played it. It happened later on, though, and I really liked it.

No.

Buy it now or you'll be sorry.

Good question.

See above.

Why is TSW in such high demand all of a sudden, am I missing something?

Today is the last day to buy the game and get all DLC expansions for free + bonus items. Again, it takes some time to download, install and patch.

I'm wondering also. 73 meta... not sure I see the mass want displayed on the GAF.

 

[Wolfie5]

I have taken some time to list all the games I have finished in 2012, and I am impressed. 2012 is a difficult year for my backlog.

Did you know that you can categorize your games into different folders in steam?
I have a category for finished games

 

[Canis lupus]

Just got Civ V: G&K for $3.15 on Green Man Gaming thanks to this thread. =)

Oh yeah and I like V better than IV. IV was great during its time but V shines the light on the stack of death and how stupid it is. I'm also not being rushed by chariots on turn 20 either. Really don't think I could go back to IV.

I have yet to play both, which one should I play first?

 

[kami_sama]

There's 3 items in the item store that are free, but I don't know if these can be purchased outside of the game or you need to do it in-game.

 

[arts&crafts]

So i bought Secret World and when I got to install it says 40GB needed. Please tell me this is a mistake? That is about 25 dollars worth of bandwith in Canada.

Does Steam list which game you have finished?

 

[Prophane33]

I recall the impressions on the Bombcast also being tepid at best. Put me in the "people care about this game?" club.

 

[kami_sama]

That is the space needed, but either way, I'm downloading it right now and it says it's a 15 GB download.

I recall the impressions on the Bombcast also being tepid at best. Put me in the "people care about this game?" club.

I was in the beta and LOVED the atmosphere, the story and the quests. But with subscription I couldn't play it. So this is great for me!

Who is tour ip that charges bandwidth. Both Eastlink and Bell in NS have unlimited options. Bell Fibre Ops is only unlimited.

It's about 18GB.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

I bought Crusader Kings 2 and got the Civ5 expansion. I don't know what I'm doing in either!

Dayyum, not at the gb data but bandwith cost.

Jesus Christ. Yeah there's no way I'm getting that before 2013 lol.
