The new dailies end under 24 hours. Nevermind. Time shows 47 hours now. Wait, f5ing shows different durations? =/

 

[BFIB]

While I was able to buy a few things, this was the worst Steam Holiday Sale yet.

 

[I H8 Memes]

So any place out there have a good deal on a steam redeemable Dead Space 1 & 2 pack?

 

[DSmalls84]

I got Sleeping Dogs when GMG had it on sale and played through the story missions already. Is any of the dlc worth picking up?

 

[Aguirre]

While I was able to buy a few things, this was the worst Steam Holiday Sale yet.

i know what you mean! i mean last summer, i was begging steam to stop the great deals, to have mercy on my bank account... but damn. i didnt mean it!

 

[Joe Molotov]

It's all over. Put a fork in this shitshow, and let's get back to our regularly scheduled Steam programming.

 

[Tizoc]

Gonna wait for the next flash deal and make my purchases before going to bed @3@.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Time, friend. Time. I'm one of those dudes who actually plays through his backlog. I might not get to this until a few months and several more sales go by. The game is tempting as hell, looks amazing.

Wei Shen is disappoint.

If they didn't repeat so many stuff, it would have been pretty good. That was the bad thing about this sale, IMO.

 

[Aaron]

Is Rage a good New Vegas substitute? I need to buy something.

New Vegas is $5 here:

[Amneisac]

It's all over. Put a fork in this shitshow, and let's get back to our regularly scheduled Steam programming.

Now what the fuck am I going to look forward to this summer? I think a little part of myself died this year. GMG and Amazon killed the only annual sale I've ever cared about.

 

[Isaccard]

I would buy the fuck out of Crysis (1) if not for SecuROM. ):

 

[Tesseract]

well here's my haul:

Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Evochron Mercenary
Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Tactical + Explosion Bundle DLC
Fallout New Vegas: Ultimate Edition
Bioshock
Alpha Protocol
Metro 2033
Binding of Isaac Wrath of the Lamb
Deus Ex Human Revolution: The Missing Link DLC
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare

special thanks to the wizard for selling me new vegas ultimate for $8.50 and gameongreggy for gifting me bioshock. my weekend is set!

 

[MMBosstones86]

Just Nightmare in Northpoint. only DLC that adds more missions/content

 

[Ifrit]

Is it wrong that I'm just looking to buy anything just to complete the holyday achievement?

 

[kaleii]

Oh well, I guess I'll just buy the LucasArts collection then and be done with it. 50 percent off isn't too shabby.

Total haul this sale is about 45 euros, so that's not too bad (Walking Dead, Skyrim DLC, Kotor 1+2, Frozen and Fallout NV Vanilla from GG).

 

[Mileena]

New Vegas is $5 here:
http://www.gamersgate.com/

Does it activate through Steam?

 

[brandonh83]

Damn not enough funds to get Sleeping Dogs after getting Dark Souls. Rage however...

 

[Buttonbasher]

Does it activate through Steam?

Yes.

Activation: Must be activated on Steam

 

[AlexBasch]

Is it wrong that I'm just looking to buy anything just to complete the holyday achievement?

Just buy Bad Rats.

 

[Madrugador]

New Vegas is $5 here:
http://www.gamersgate.com/

Ultimate Edition or nothing for me.

 

[kaleii]

The retail version, at least, is definitely Steamworks. So... Problem solved, New Vegas people.

True. I bought it too. All the DLC is almost 14 euros though. :\

 

[drizzle]

The retail version, at least, is definitely Steamworks. So... Problem solved, New Vegas people.

New Vegas Ultimate pricing has been kinda crazy the last couple sales:

http://www.steamprices.com/us/app/2028016/fallout-new-vegas-ultimate-edition

9.99 in July/August to 19.99 now. Madness.

 

[JaseC]

[zerokoolpsx]

I would buy the fuck out of Crysis (1) if not for SecuROM. ):

[Ifrit]

I hope that doesn't happen

 

[Rand6]

Is Rage a good New Vegas substitute? I need to buy something.

Why not buying it on Gamersgate? (or did I miss something??)

 

[Lucifon]

New Vegas is $5 here:
http://www.gamersgate.com/

That's what I've done in the end and will just buy all the DLC on Steam for 40% off, it's still pretty cheap and only a few £ more than past sale prices so meh I guess.

Sat waiting for Gamersgate to actually show me my key though...

 

[JaseC]

I would too. 3rd-party DRM: SecuROM™
5 machine activation limit
I think Crytek upped it to 50 a few months back.

Seems so.

 

[Jotamide]

I guess I'll get one of the Thief games to get the Holiday badge. Which one does GAF recommend?

 

[MNC]

Wonder if vanilla new vegas will last me until a few months that I will buy the DLC. Still pondering sleeping dogs...

 

[AlexBasch]

Well, I can't complain, got gifted with Alan Wake and GTA4 by amazing dot and snowysashay.
I gifted Seraphis Cain with some shmup, bought Monkey Island Bundle, Binary Domain and Rainbow Six Vegas.

Had more money to put into the Steam Wallet, but nope.

Wonder if vanilla new vegas will last me until a few months that I will buy the DLC.

Do it. It's an amazing game. I'm just waiting on the DLC for the completionist feel of it.

 

[Madrugador]

Why not buying it on Gamersgate? (or did I miss something??)

I have Steam credit, don't want to waste more money really :/

Also, I want the Ultimate Edition.

[Double D]

I bought Rage on a flash deal for $5.00 a few days ago. Why is it $11.99 now?

Edit: I see it's been fixed

 

[brandonh83]

[The Elite]

I assume there will be a couple more flash sales but these are the last dailies.

 

[MRORANGE]

It's a shame that I skipped on Dishonored, although I don't think my ATI 4850 could run it :|
