Did anyone snag an extra copy of Miasmata, damn I want that game but there's no way in hell it's coming back as a repeat.
To me that sounds like a "75% or bust" type of game. Maybe I'll get the Thief collection instead, never played any of them.
Someone please convince me not to spend any more money.
Funny thing is that it was a repeat, haha.

I know, and I've been here all along too lol. I didn't know I wanted it until I watched like 2 hours of footage and realized it was pretty damn awesome.
Now I can't stop thinking about it

I played I Am Alive on the 360. It's honestly not worth $0.00.
Bought Thief Gold earlier in the Winter Sale and started playing it today. Now that's a great game. If you buy either Thief Gold or Thief 2, download the TFix patch.
Edit: Although I'm sure that the "colorful" mod would add a lot of value to I Am Alive.

I knew this would happen if I didn't buy it, so I did.
I like it so far, but it's a janky mess (weird controls/movement, terrible performance) and I can see a lot of people hating it. Will try to play more and hopefully finish it tomorrow.
I don't mind the 7,50 I paid for it, but in general I'd recommend waiting for a slightly bigger discount to avoid disappointment. I feel like this needs a long demo so people know what they're getting into.

The Steam client kept dying on me but the website worked flawlessly. You know what to do GAF
The TFix patch is mandatory to make the games run, or is it just recommended? I always like my first playthrough of a game to be as vanilla as possible.
Different opinions on I Am Alive. I'll wait on that one, I'm in no hurry to play it.

Just to confirm, Amazon Dark Souls activates on Steam correct? Going to get it as a gift for a friend but would really like Steam.
Yes it does.

Any opinions on Thief: Deadly Shadow? Does it hold up compared to the first two thief games? Only reason I didn't pick it up in the summer sale was hearing that it wasn't as good, or not that great of a thief game.

What scorpscarx said. You would need to install it to run the game at resolutions higher than 800x600.
It's 25 on Amazon right now, or 20 if you have a 5$ discount coupon

It's a great game, and holds up well placed side by side with the older one's considering their graphical handicap.
Gamewise I thought it was pretty mediocre when I played it at launch being that Thief gold is my favorite game of all time.

Don't buy it.

Opinions are definitely all over the place with this one. I personally enjoyed it. I liked the atmosphere, combat, and platforming. I guess it isn't for everyone, but it's easily worth $5 if it seems like it's your type of game.
How are you quitting Steam?
currently playing through deadly shadows. its good but i get annoyed when im in the city hub trying to find where to go.
get it! has amazingly hilarious dialogue from npcs in english accents
You mean in 2011? No, I wasn't even around here, lol. I don't have any of them yet, but they look interesting and I've heard lots of great things about the first 2. Any reason I shouldn't buy them now? (I like stealth games but I SUCK at them)
That's actually the problem. It seems interesting, but I'm not sure if I'll like it. And with the size of my backlog, and all the games I bought on this sale, I want to try and make every buck count.

not on Saturday, it looks like everything ends at 1pm EST on Saturday
Everything ends in 42 hours, so the last dailies will likely be tomorrow, ending in 24 hours. I assume they will not linger beyond 24 hours, though, like the others, which lasted 48 hours.

You gotta come up with a system to beat games! Right now you should just focus on buying things that may not be on the store in a year. Everything else will be cheaper in the future!
okay thanks you guys.
so its likely safe to assume that Sacred 2 Gold will not be part of a daily or flash deal.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/225640/
currently 50% off.
was Risen 2 a daily/flash deal yet? i don't think so, but i might have missed it.

GMG?
Like what, for example? Licensed games that may expire? Those could make my account very valuable, in case I ever want to sell it.
Not that I'd want to, and Valve can ban it. But it works anyway for bragging purposes.
"Hey ladies, guess what, I own Prey on Steam!" (I'd totally like to try this one someday xD)
Or I could dedicate 100% to play games, but it's not even half as fun as buying them.

No Risen 2 wasn't but I got it for like 7.50 off of Gamersgate. Might get Sacred 2 for that price.

Should I buy Vice city or San Andreas? Maybe both as I've never really spent much time with either.

Both are fabulous.

Entirely this. I loved Vice City the most but San Andreas was so vast, and the diversity in locations was remarkable!
Both are great, but Vice City is my personal favorite. That soundtrack is perfect.
Make sure you also listen to VCPR: "Only 23 people died, and most of them probably deserved it."
And now I want to replay it. Luckily I don't own it on Steam and don't have it installed, or else my backlog would suffer even more.
San Andreas is bigger, better and has BMX, wich is the best vehicle ever to be in a GTA.
Vice City has a better atmosphere
Steam version has problems with soundtrack, so some songs are out.

Sadly Blur was taken off. I'll sell you a steam-bought non-retail copy I have for 100 dollars.
/jk, but not the part about being taken out
