50% off a $60 dollar game ain't gonna cut it. It looks like I'm definitely saving my money for Christmas.

mainly waiting for a daily sale on Dead Rising OTR

I would like to try Dead Island but too many games atm, probably nab it next sale it gets

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #3008 on:** November 25, 2011, 01:29:42 PM »

I'm hoping Sims Medieval gets a daily deal. I kinda want to play it on the cheap. For $15, I may go ahead and buy it anyway on the last day.

archie4208 · « **Reply #3009 on:** November 25, 2011, 01:35:22 PM »

I've only bought Renegade Ops and I don't like it very much. Worst Steam sale ever?

If anyone still doesn't own the new Deus Ex, you can get it for $20 digital on Amazon and activate it on steam. Comes with one of the pre-order DLCs as well.

don't know if I should go for the Deus Ex DLC now or save $2.50 during the inevitable Christmas 75% off deal

I'm that white

I'm really really surprised by the quality of Hamilton's Great Adventure. I knew it'd be a good little indie game, but I didn't think it'd be this polished and well designed.

If you don't own it, you should pick it up for $2.50 on Sunday. Excellent puzzle game with a nice Indiana Jones theme and very polished nice graphics & music. This & Orcs Must Die have been great $3-4 buys. Probably better than a lot of the $30-40 games I've picked up this BF :|

it's pretty long, 5 hours at least unless you run n gun on an easy difficulty. the new maps are solid and great-looking; just as good as the main game's maps. there's tons of enemies in them too, so i found it to be more difficult than the main quest. just like the full game there's opportunities to use each one of your powers so you can replay it and try different stuff (and you'll need to to get all the cheevs), and there's a lot of dialog in the game that changes depending on what your actions. the plot contains a bunch of stuff that should have been in the game in the first place, as it deals with a lot of the stuff that seemed to randomly come out of nowhere in the original's endgame. the downsides are that you can incorporate the dlc into the main game on replays, and that there's some short backtracking later on that is there for no other reason but to pad out game length. still, the expansion is quality and a must-play if you loved the full game.

cool breeze · « **Reply #3019 on:** November 26, 2011, 01:15:35 PM »

witcher 1 is $2.50

I've been planning on a replay before The Witcher 2 and that's a good double dip "I'm too lazy to install the DVDs" price.

also an assive Tom Clancy sale

between this and Batman AC, that's like 30 gigs downloaded in a week. I need to get a new hard drive.

99%

I think the one case of thanksgiving sale being cheaper than winter sale was with Tomb Raider Underworld, which was cheaper in subsequent sales. also daily deals can be cheaper, like hydrophobia in the summer.

basically, unless you want it NOW, it will be cheaper.

Buy Kane and Lynch 2. Yeah, it's like 3 hours long but that game has style.

It pains me to agree with this, but I do. I'd only add that you better have someone to play it with, I imagine playing it solo would be awful.

I never played the first game but K&L2 is crazy in all the best ways.

Just get the extra Civs, unless you're one of those weirdos who likes Scenarios.

edit: I think one of the wonder DLC broke the game, remember reading it on QT3

I haven't revisited Civ5 in quite a long time. How much did it improve over the time?

Non-daily deal cheap grabs I'm picking up:

Rock of Ages = $5
Dungeons of Dredmor $2.50

Wish Driver was cheaper. I love arcade racers and now that I've finished up Hot Pursuit I think I've finished every one this gen besides Motorstorm 3 (which is STILL $60 WTF; not one sale during BF) and I hear the new Driver is quite good. Will wait until another sale or two.

Enl · « **Reply #3039 on:** November 27, 2011, 03:24:02 PM »

I mostly survived this sale up until Dead Space 2 was $5. I really wanted to pick up LA Noir but I'll hold off on that until probably the Holiday sale next month.

Brink free weekend again as well. Plus can get it and all of the single DLC for $6 if you're into that kind of thing.

And the Official Strategy Guide is ONLY $5!

benjipwns · « **Reply #3058 on:** December 01, 2011, 10:42:34 PM »

Yeah, I'd be tempted to bite at $5 if there were twice as many maps. Those two DLC maps need to be rolled into the base game like UT3 did at minimum and even that only gives the game like what seven maps.

I guess the SDK/Map Editor has even been unofficially cancelled, in either case it's not coming. Bethesda apparently put the kibosh on that.

The Doom 3 source is out now and maybe when the rest of id Tech 4 comes out somebody will make one.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #3059 on:** December 01, 2011, 10:57:19 PM »

I was pretty hyped for Brink, but it was just so, so boring. I think Splash Damage just got in way over the head and had no idea how to pull the overall package together, leaving a few dangling elements of greatness that amounted to not a whole lot in the end.
