OMG INSANEEEEEEEE

The old THQ pack with Titan Quest, Red Faction series, CoH series, DoW1/2 series, Saints Row, Stalker now includes METRO 2033
...$50

Wish I didn't own all of those besides Metro!!

[Bebpo]

is there a list yet? the site is hammered.  I think I saw Cryostasis for $4 and I know I'm getting that.

$3.24!  Wish I hadn't bought a physical copy for $10 now!

[Bebpo]

1C complete collection has

Kings Bounty + AP
Cryostasis
Men of War + expansions
other stuff

$20

[Smooth Groove]

I gave away a coupon for Cryostasis.  Too bad y'all missed it.  I didn't know that many people were interested in an obviously low-budgeted B title.

Mega-sales like this are always so tempting but ultimately useless since most hardcore gamers usually own most of the stuff in the bundles.  $50 is still too much for hassle-free disc-less installations.  Aside from some COH expansions, there's nothing in that THQ pack I don't already have.  It'd make more sense for them to pack in a pre-order for something like Darksiders but they aren't going to do that.

[cool breeze]

yeah, these bundles would be great if I didn't own most of the stuff.  The THQ and Eidos+SquareEnix ones are crazy.

right now steam is dying so not everything is showing.  As of now, the only other thing I'm getting is Dark Void Zero (the 2D game)

I love the amount you save by buying the SE+Eidos pack 

You Save: $512.00


This shows once again why being a dirty poor sucks  :'( :'(

[Smooth Groove]

Some of the Atari and Codemasters games are ridiculous bargains too. 

Jericho for $2, Overlord for $3, Ghostbusters, Riddick:DA, Witcher all for $6 each.  Ridiculous.

[cool breeze]

and actually, if you do the Bioshock 2 4-pack, it is more like $11 per copy.

[Smooth Groove]

I almost forgot that Bioshock 2 has MP.  Is it any good?

[demi]

If I make a Steam account will you guys gift me this stuff?

[Smooth Groove]

So you can Costanza the account?  Hell no.

[demi]

Well I need money to spend on Xbox games, I have to make priorities...

Is Jericho even decent?

was that a glitch?  it's showing $80 for me

[Eel O'Brian]

awesome deals, might pick up a couple but i think i'm gonna hold out for the holiday sale otherwise

[Skidmark]

I have just noticed the new steam discounts. There are a lot of packages that I want but I have about +- 50 euros to spend. My pc isn't that great either, portal runs fine on it though.

[cool breeze]

seems like it

I think they meant to only do 75% off individual games and accidentally applied it to the entire collection or something like that. 

[Bebpo]

I ended up not buying anything.
That's the problem when there's too much good stuff on sale!

Will check the daily deals.
Might get Men of War for $3.24 before the sale ends.  I hear it's hardcore difficult but very good.

[cool breeze]

http://store.steampowered.com/search/?specials=1

you can see most of the everyday deals there

uh, I seem to remember some people being interested in the new Rocket Knight game, and that's 50% off: http://store.steampowered.com/app/19030/

[pilonv1]

OH MY GOD

Witcher at $6 is a no brainer. Even though I still haven't played 80% off what I bought at Xmas

The Defense Grid DLC is 50% off too!

[fistfulofmetal]

why gabe? why? i just paid 150 on my credit card

why you do this

[Great Rumbler]

I bought:

Chronicles of Riddick - Assault on Dark Athena
Broken Sword 2-Pack
Avencast
Fuel

All for about $18. Not bad.

[pilonv1]

Introversion pack for $5 is ridiculous value.

[GilloD]

Introcersion Pack gotted.

[Cormacaroni]

grabbed the Introversion Pack and the Overlord pack.

[cool breeze]

new deals up

Alpha Protocol for $34
Resident Evil 5 for $12.50
Lead and Gold for $5
Galcon Fusion for $2.50
GTA episodes from liberty city for $15
Ghostbusters for $4
Serious Sam pack for $7.50
alien vs predator classic for $1.25

[archie4208]

Grabbing Serious Sam HD.  Did they ever patch dedicated servers in?

[fistfulofmetal]

GTA episodes and Serious Sam...

[Bebpo]

Gave in and finally got Ghostbusters.

Might buy Lead & Gold.  I like the setting and it looks fun but I never find the time to play multiplayer games so doesn't seem worth it.
Does AvP classic still hold up?
Any reason to double dip on RE5 if you have the console version?  $12.50 still isn't that cheap.  Capcom sales really suck.  I want DMC4 for $4


Also the main game I'm waiting for a sale on this week is Tomb Raider Underworld for <$5 so I can double dip and play it on PC at 60fps instead of X360.

[cool breeze]

I'd get RE5 if it included the DLC, but that DLC isn't on the PC period.

[Smooth Groove]

Aside from the obvious boost in image quality, RE5 on the PC doesn't have a 30fps cap and supports KB+M.  Also, 3D. 

You can find a retail copy of DMC4 for around $4 online. 

[Dickie Dee]

Damn, I could never find this thread while stickied. Picked up the ME and the Witcher. Wished I'd bitten on Dragon Age but I imagine it'll come back down by the time I get a chance to play it

[Eel O'Brian]

Might buy Lead & Gold.  I like the setting and it looks fun but I never find the time to play multiplayer games so doesn't seem worth it.

no one plays it, check the forums

i almost bought it, too, but it's just throwing your money away no matter how small the amount

[Eel O'Brian]

AvP Classic for $1.25 is a no-brainer if you don't own it

[Eel O'Brian]

CoD collection is a helluva deal for $30 if you don't already own everything there

[fistfulofmetal]

The Witcher is one hell of an RPG ass RPG

[Dickie Dee]

Anyone play Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West? Looks interesting, heard nothing about it, don't want to dive into a MP game unless I know what I'm getting into (I'm much less forgiving of their flaws than in a SP game)

[chronovore]

What's that Diablo game with the dog in it again? When's it going to be on sale, and is there a way of setting up notifications for the sale items? (cue Cormacaroni teasing me about being a cheapskate in five, four, three, two...)

Looked like cowboy-flavored TF2 to me, and I've got enough Brokeback in my chaps from Red Dead Redemption. I know what you mean though, multiplayer glitches and exploits and imbalances can make a game really, really un-fun.

[Dickie Dee]

Opened up Steam this morning to see if any new sales were on yet (1h left ) and found out I drunkenly bought the GTA4 Episodes last night

I think I'm gonna unlink my CC from my account for awhile.

and Torchlights already onsale 50%, there's your notification beotch

[archie4208]

Torchlight is almost guaranteed to be $5 some time soon.

[archie4208]

Star Wars Force Unleashed - $7.49
Supreme Commander 2 - $7.47
Audiosurf - $2.50 (BUY THIS FUCKERS)
Hearts of Iron - 66% off
Company of Heroes - $24.99
Half Life - $6.69 (wut)

I'm gonna grab Star Wars and Zeno Clash.

[ManaByte]

Got TFU (despite beating it multiple times on consoles - it's still fun) and Supreme Commander.

[archie4208]

Left 4 Dead 2 is $10.60

[Bebpo]

I guess I'll get Star Wars since it's pretty looking and cheap

[Eel O'Brian]

30GB HDD space?  Are you shitting me?  They must have crammed all the Wookiees in there.

fuck you, lucas

[Bebpo]

nm, not touching star wars.  Apparently the port is shit.

shit game + shit port = faaaaaaail

[ManaByte]

30GB HDD space?  Are you shitting me?  They must have crammed all the Wookiees in there.

fuck you, lucas

1080p CG movies in WMV format. Lots of them (after each mission).

nm, not touching star wars.  Apparently the port is shit.

shit game + shit port = faaaaaaail

It's NOT a shit game. It's TOP TIER Star Wars game right along KOTOR, Tie Fighter and Dark Forces. It has more interesting plot that the New Trilogy. It has amazing physics and graphics.

I'd argue about it being a shitty port. I had ZERO problems with the game on a quite old PC. It's millions times better than Deus Ex: IW, slightly worse than Mass Effect.

BUY THIS GAME, FOOLS

It's awesome.

Wow. Borys is right about something for once.

[Eel O'Brian]

It could be the best game in the world, but fuck a bunch of downloading 30GB

they need to get with the .mkv, i have entire tv series that take up less space

[Smooth Groove]

Bebpo would get the game if it were named Ultimate Star Battles 9: Chaotic Force Unleashed Neo Chronicle

It's awesome.

Sadly, technical problems may hinder your chances for enjoyment. On two out of three test systems--all of which exceeded the game's recommended hardware requirements--we encountered performance issues that heavily interfered with the experience. The frame rate was wildly inconsistent, taking huge dips whenever there was a lot of action onscreen, and on one system, frame rate troubles were accompanied by snaps and crackles in the audio. Should you run into visual issues, there is no way to adjust graphics settings to improve the game's performance. The Force Unleashed allows you to only adjust the display resolution and brightness levels, so forget tweaking your lighting and anisotropic filter settings.

It's a wonder that Star Wars: The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition for the PC was released at all considering the insignificant effort that seems to have been put into it. Even in the realm of sloppy ports, this one seems particularly egregious, considering its almost total lack of visual options and performance troubles. It's unfortunate that this version feels so rushed because in spite of the core game's scattered flaws, it's an ultimately enjoyable adventure that tells a great story populated by memorable characters. Alas, if you're a PC enthusiast who is tired of rushed console ports, The Force Unleashed is another game to add to that ever-growing list.

lol

[pilonv1]

If Risen goes on sale I may need to enlist a Bore buddy to gift it to me.

[Reb]

A buddy gifted me Monkey Island.

[pilonv1]

Thanks for reminding me - I have one as well if someone wants it.

[archie4208]

Can I have it?

Purchased, thanks. Not interested in saving $5 more dollars to wait more, if-and-when it drops again.

Weren't you complaining about some seriously questionable user-interface decisions they made on the PC-port?

Diablo with pet dog?  I think you're talking about Fate. 

[Eel O'Brian]

Even though Zeno Clash is on XBLA, it does not have 360 controller support even though it supports controllers

*boggle*

How fucking lazy.  Update your game, assholes.
