It's always the same games on sale.. how many times has shit like Counterstrike and "Mount & Blade" been on sale? Deus Ex, Borderlands, L4D2, TF2, yawn...
Worth its own thread. :smug
Alpha Protocol for $7.50 btw
Well there are ~30 million Steam users, so you have a %0.0001 chance of winning. :dur

Seriously. I guess we gotta wait for the Holiday sale for anything too good to pass up.

Or you could just wait and see what's on sale tomorrow.
pilonv I never see you on Steam anymore :(
do you think there are enough steam users who want R.U.S.E. to sell one of those packs
I will buy Alpha Protocol as a gift for someone. Its so great
An excellent RPG with below average controls if you play it as a shooter, with deep branching dialogue and varied choices/paths to take.
Read the thread
http://www.evilbore.com/forum/index.php?topic=30133.0
Also it has awesome beards.
Well worth $7.50 if you're willing to put up with some bad design/controls.
Can someone gift me Alpha Protocol for $7.50? I'll PayPal you. Can't buy it from Korea for some reasonWas gonna just gift it to you for free but Steam won't let me add you lolo
Howdy, folks. Allow me to spoil some of the surprises coming up in the rest of this week's sales.
There will be more large packs (like today's HL2 10-pack/Borderlands 6-pack/RUSE 6-pack/Deus Ex 8-pack) every day until the 29th. I'm not sure the exact days that each will happen, or what the prices will be, but here's what the games will be, and the quantities of the packs, so y'all can start to do some basic planning on group-buys:
- Aliens vs Predator (2010) 6-pack
- Audiosurf 12-pack
- Braid 10-pack
- Counter-Strike: Source 6-pack
- Defense Grid: The Awakening 10-pack
- Empire: Total War 6-pack
- Freedom Force 10-pack
- Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City 6-pack
- Just Cause 2 8-pack
- Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West 10-pack
- Left 4 Dead 2 6-pack
- Mount & Blade: Warband 6-pack
- Nyxquest: Kindred Spirits 10-pack
- Osmos 12-pack
- Portal 6-pack
- Puzzle Quest 2 10-pack
- Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale 8 pack
- Red Faction: Guerrilla 8-pack
- Splinter Cell: Conviction 6-pack
- Trine 8-pack
- Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Chaos Rising 8-pack
- World of Goo 12-pack
Also, there will be more packs of indie games similar to today's Indie Energy Pack. 5 game per pack, on massive discount, one day only. Again, I don't know the daily order these will come in, or exactly what the discount will be, but, here's what the names and contents of the packs will be:
- Indie Air Pack: Altitude, DogFighter, Flotilla, Gratuitous Space Battles, Plain Sight
- Indie Clever Pack: Doc Clock: The Toasted Sandwich of Time, Eufloria, Iron Grip: Warlord, VVVVVV, World of Goo
- Indie Pulse Pack: Audiosurf, Beat Hazard, Bit Trip Beat, The Polynomial, Rhythm Zone
- Indie Puzzle Pack: Cogs, Droplitz, Puzzle Dimension, Shatter, Tidalis
- Indie Story Pack: And Yet It Moves, Gish, Puzzle Agent, Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale, Jolly Rover
And of course, there will be more individual games on Daily Deals every day, but I don't have any info on what those will be. You'll just have to wait and see! Also, disclaimer: if any of this info is inaccurate, then oh well.
Alpha Proptocol is absolute garbage Chow... ME takes a gigantic shit on it

Pretty medicore stuff right now:

Only thing that would get my really excited is Dead Rising 2 for $9.99 - 14.99
Well, most people thought the same thing about K&L1 and I really enjoyed half of that (the other half was pretty bad). Plus I liked the K&L2 demo and I love short campaign games since I don't want to spend a lot of time on any one game before moving to the next.
Man I'd really rather play Batman on 360 but that's such a good deal
I only spend $4 on the first Kane and Lynch too. I think that's the good price for a disposable, somewhat entertaining shooter series.
From the demo of K&L2 it seemed the actual shooting mechanics had been improved and the handheld visual camera style gave it character.

I just played the demo and based on your opinion of it, I will never trust your word on games. The camera didn't give it character, it gave me a whopping headache. Shit game. Glad I didn't buy it.
:bow mysterious benefactors :bow2

Jolly Rover looks unbelivably shitty

Bought Blur, will pour a 40 later for Bizarre Games if it doesn't suck.
I wonder if Blur will play remotely well on my MacBook Pro (via W7, of course).
Tempted to pull the trigger for future use, anyway, but it might get even cheaper someday, right?

I thought the sale was over so I just bought L4D2. Goddammit.
Mount & Blade is awesome, more people should buy it.

I got warband and splinter cell from a 6-pack.
Anyone try these indie packs? What's the quality like?
KOTOR still hold up? Never played it due to my indifference of the Star Wars universe.. but a good game's a good game
My main requirement would be an epic, engrossing story that hooks you in from start to finish..
Anyone try these indie packs? What's the quality like?
Depends on how many of the games you already own in each pack. I'd say every pack has at least 2 quality games. If you don't have any of them, all the packs were worth $5 for sure. I usually owned the good half of each pack, so I only picked up a couple. I think today's pack is the first one I don't own any since it's multiplayer gaming centric and I usually avoid multiplayer titles.

You won't really find that in Kotor. It's an ok story that, like Mass Effect and most wrpgs, is more about the mini-arcs within the planets you visit. The main plot is pretty whatever and not much too it. But it's an enjoyable game. Can't really go wrong for $2.50 unless they game refuses to run on your system like mine :P
There's not much left on Steam that I really want, so unless shit is just discounted outrageously I don't see myself spending much during the Holiday sale.
I hope they continue doing this multiple pack thing during christmas too. The only game here that I felt comfortable giving people (knowing that it was good) would be Trine, but everyone has that. If there is a Flotilla pack, I'd be down with gifting that around. But people probably got that through the indie air pack.
and I wish Steam would do the GOG method of bundles where the price gets lower if you already own some of those games. I can't keep rebuying games I already own!

Once you've played Iron Roses, everything else pales. ;)
Get the band back together using your problem-solving skills and witty repartee
There is that, but how much shit has gone so dirt cheap that you've bought because it was too cheap not to buy.
Shame there are no JP exclusives.
Wait, they have Christmas Sales too? Whoa.
Think I might buy some EBers virtual christmas gifts, apart from those who already own every frigging game! Shame there are no JP exclusives.

I wish I would've waited on New Vegas. I am a Bethesda fanboy so I wanted the CE, but that was underwhelming, and now that I know a large patch is coming to fix a lot of the bugs (aka "We're finally finishing the game!") I have no interest in completing it until then and wish I'd have waited for it to go on sale over the holiday. Between that poorly optimized glitchfest and CoD's stuttering bullshit, no more launch day PC games for me.
Yeah, you gotta figure, how much was the first Mafia game earning 2k a year ago? Zero dollars. It's $9.99 now. Now, let's say it drops to $5 over the Steam Holiday sale, and 5000 people buy it. That's $25k worth of revenue, just for uploading a file.

Plus, it serves as free advertising for Mafia II. And they can package it together with a bunch of other junk to make something people will pay $50 for. It's all upside. Not much upside, but still.

From what I hear, the big J companies are so terrified of the brick-and-mortar stores rising up against them that they are highly reluctant to put games up on steam at all. Never mind discount them.
It's the same with PSN for PSP games. They need to grow balls, seriously.
Can you imagine the insane amount of Yen Capcom has lost today with not putting MHP3rd on PSN? Sold out in every store in Japan within a couple of hours and fuck all they can do. Good job, brick-and-mortar bastards!
What is more surprising is the reaction of retail now. I have read it described as the reaction of a small child who threw his toy away because he no longer wanted it, but started screaming as soon as another child picked it up to play with. The metaphor works perfectly, especially in the light of the excuse I heard on numerous occasions.
‘There is no demand’ went the mantra. But is this really true? Not in our experience.
I remember fondly the meeting in my office with a red-faced publisher who was explaining why their initial order from a major retailer for one of our new releases was just 30 units. At the time I had my browser open on the Steam product data page, which updates sales numbers every few minutes.
“They have taken one unit for each of their top 30 stores” he told me. “There is just no demand from their customers”.
I glanced at my screen, hit refresh and advised him: “In the time it’s taken you to tell me that there is no demand, Steam has sold 45 units”.
Steam is selling decent numbers of our titles. They are really cool to work with, have a refreshing, knowledgeable developer mentality, and never bully or threaten their suppliers.
As a generalisation, retail would pay these guys a maximum of 40 per cent of what they made. So on a £29.99 game the publisher would receive about £12 (and on a sub-licensed deal, we would then only get about £4.25 of that) – minus return, write down and consignment costs.
When would we get that money? Well, payment would be by the end of the quarter.
So, let’s say £10 per unit sale goes to the publisher, £3 to the developer/sub-licensor, and it’s in your bank five months after the customer has paid out £30.
Compare that to the digital model. On a £29.99 sale, the digital partner will pay the publisher – or in many cases direct to the developer – between 60 and 70 per cent, by the end of the month following the sale.
Wow. To recap: on a sale over the counter today, we can have our £3 by the end of March, or on a digital sale, we can have £20 by Christmas.
Remind me why we should choose to go with retail and decline to let Steam sell the game?

And does anyone know what last years xmas sales window was/if they've announced this years?
Steam treasure hunt is genius. Going to sell a loooot of games and get people to actually PLAY THEM in order to have a 0.000001% chance of winning free stuff :lol
/I'm buying chime
Wow this is awesome. And cheap games too.
Seriously, anyone that doesn't buy Chime at that price deserves an early, painful death.
What's great about this event is it'll get some people (*coughcough me coughcough*) to play more new games in the next week than if I actually won the 100 games which I'd just throw in my backlog and never touch. I wish more companies would have contest that encourage actually playing games.
how are you even supposed to get More Cowbell in chime?
I don't see an easy mode or anything, and I did stage 1 of that song in the 9 minute mode, quit out after I had enough points, and I don't have it.
fun game, though.

The game is pretty great, but it's also pretty damn hard to 5 star or even SURVIVE some of the stages after the beginning. When you're going super fast it gets kind of tough to control and don't get me started on trying to land in a tiny ring from a parachute deploy after going 5 million mph. That's about the only thing that actually annoys me: doing a 30-60 second fantastic run full of hugs, kisses, stunts, boards and then missing the landing and getting 0 points. >_< Should just be a point deduction for not landing.

Bought Amnesia. I'm a pussy, so I'm a little apprehensive about playing it, to say the least.
Fuck these bullshit games for the treasure hunt. I haven't got a fucking clue how to play Droplitz. I stared at the screen for a couple of minutes and just farted.

Thanks to InfectedGib I got a chance to play Mafia II. Game is very immersive. Driving around the period piece city listen to old-time radio is a cool experience. I thought I read somewhere before release that you have to follow the traffic rules and stop at lights and stuff? Didn't really notice early on but I tried to stop at red lights when I saw them. I wish there was a car view with a rear view mirror because if you stop at a stop sign it's hard to see oncoming traffic before you turn into a lane.
Graphics are pretty nice. I'm maxing it out and get around 30fps probably.
Oh and does Mafia 1 have any story connection to 2? I never played the original. Will pick it up when Steam drops it to like $2.50-$5.

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. It's a great game that is broken in so many tiny, fundamental ways. Like I'll be having a 100% great time and then.
The game totally fucking bottlenecks about 1/4 of the way through any level- You just have to sit on your hands and micromanage the map screen. But while you're doing that, your base is getting fucked because your Minion AI is brain dead and the traps/secuirty systems that you spent a fortune on don't really work.
That said, it's a really unique game and you will enjoy it up until the point where it's many quirks basically prevent you from enjoying it.
I will gift the first four people to PM me their Steam name Shatter (also friend me if you haven't).
I'm raketemensch. And the way Steam works, you need to accept me as a Steam friend before the gift will go through!

I'm still working through the story mode of Shatter, but is the bonus mode you have to unlock the objective for the same as the bonus stage after every world?
If so, :hyper
Sounds rad. Is it really that hard to hit the objective goal?
fucking A - got 11,200,000 exactly!
phew, that objective almost broke me
I had the same problem with "spaz" - then I looked in the EB group. So... Valve supports multiple accounts with the same username?

yeah, but let's face it, if you're down to caring about stuff like Shatter, you won't be hurting them too much with your purchases.
It was in a five-game bundle for $5 about a fortnight ago.

Oh man the port of Stranger's Wrath is fucking awful. They better patch this shit quick. No widescreen support, game glitches out in FPS mode, looks like ass.
Why did they even port this to PC if they were gonna do this?
Truth be told the reason the PC version doesn't have the HD models is the PS3 version isn't done yet, and we wanted to get the Oddboxx out this Holiday Season.
It is HIGHLY likely we will be releasing an update for PC at a later date!

Yeah, I figure I'm just buying it to support them actually fixing these games in the future.
- No "video" options to manually adjust certain graphical effects
- No ability to set resolution from within the menus (must add code to a .txt config file)
- No mouse support on menus (must use arrow keys)
- No keyboard support when typing the player name (must use arrow keys to navigate to each individual letter)
- Incredibly poor performance (15-20 FPS on high/medium-end machines)
- Ugly, jagged text in dialogue boxes that looks as if it came from a 3D game released in the 90's

Done. Dont worry about Lara Croft, I'll never play it.
edit: whoops might need you to add me as a friend. Otherwise I'll email it to you (pm me your email)
Thanks Costanza. I will get you back..........
1 more copy of Winterbottom up for grabs. QUOTE THIS.
Is there a point to the Steam wallet besides avoiding CC issues?
sent. enjoy :D

Why don't you just put them in your cart, and buy in one go? Are you afraid of them running out of keys?

I was buying several gifts for friends, including multiple copies of P.B. Winterbottom, and everything was going fine. When I got to around the 9th purchase I received this message - There has been an internal error initializing your transaction. Please contact support for assistance. I get it for my credit card, and for Paypal. I can't even add funds to my wallet. I know I have plenty of money in my accounts, so this has to be some sort of automatic denial that kicks in after multiple purchases in a row. I'd like this fixed so I won't miss the rest of the sale. As it stands now I'm probably going to miss the F.E.A.R. pack sale.

So I was finally able to get in and add funds to my wallet, and then a couple gift purchases later it happened again. With money you're already holding for me. This probably wouldn't happen so much if you guys allowed adding multiple copies of games to the cart.

If you're buying the same game for multiple people, that isn't possible. You can only add one copy at a time, even though you're gifting each copy.
yeah, but you can't send the same game 10 times to the same email, can you? and you still have to do each transaction individually. bottom line is, if you have to do a workaround to gift multiple copies to multiple people, it is a shitty system. something that should have taken me minutes has, between each back-and-forth transaction and getting locked out of using my own goddamned money, taken me hours instead.
Eel goes through such difficult problems so that his friends can enjoy the hearty glow of PB Winterbottom. :heart
Hello Kevin, Thank you for contacting Steam Support. It appears as though you were able to complete your purchase. Please log out of your Steam account and log back in to ensure the game appears in your Library > Games list. If you have any further questions please let us know.
Jeez you don't ask for much :P
:lol @ RE5 quote on the steam page - "A full-bore action experience" :teehee
it should also pop up next time you log in

Eel bought me Puzzle Quest, which was somewhat puzzling since I'm usually a cunt to him.
Whoa thanks Eel! Where is your wishlist? I'd like to repay the favor. Need some microsoft points, or want a Age of Empires 3 complete collection? What does Santa Eel want for Zedmass?
It really needs to come up as a pop-up window on load-up like those featured games thing that I always click straight-through.
And if you're are online make sure the corner pop-up is especially ostentatious.
Got AssCreed 2 and Spore since it's never on sale.

TOTAL: $61.27
I really need to stop but these daily deals are killing me. I'll snag up a game from the daily deal and then go buy a mega cheap game too. The biggest hit I took was on all the Indie Packs but those were a great value for the money.
Can anyone vouch if the Bully port was ever brought back up to snuff?

Or is it? :teehee
I bought Bully because I never finished it on PS2 and apparently after patches the PC version became a great port. Bought Alien vs. Predator because it looks pretty and I like the franchises a lot. Not going to install AvP for a while now though, it's 15gigs and all these 15gig games are filling my drive way too fast.

THANK YOU, EELSTER BUNNY!
Never have I accepted a friend request so readily as from Mr O'Brien :lol
also borys it says you only own five games, and the one i sent doesn't show in your list
i am gonna send you another cheap game, and send something to cormac (i will wait to see what the daily deals are), and then i am done
steam is great for buying dirt cheap games, but overall demi was right - it's a piece of shit in almost every other aspect
P.S. I still think pc gaming is best!
I was gonna gift Van Cruncheon Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale but he bought it already.Have you played it? I thought about getting it, but the combat looked so weak.
Man, if that Darksiders deal happened on like Monday, I'd be all over that. Alas, I'll just be getting the 360 version then.

Apparently the PC one is much better. They spent the extra time boosting it.
What day does it end anyhow?
If anyone's interested in that game The Ball (http://store.steampowered.com/app/35460/), you can buy it on D2D for $3.96 (with code: holidaytreats ) and then activate it on Steam.
Darksiders doesn't even look that great on the PC. Most of the assets weren't redone and don't seem to be fit for more than 720p. In some ways, it almost looks a PS2 game running in HD on an emulator.

Opened a ticket on the support page. Guys if I have added cash to Steam Wallet then my CC has already been billed? I mean, I have "purchased" virtual money with real money?
And I cannot even use it FFS. If they allowed me to purchase it in first place, why can't I now spend it however I want?
Darksiders I can get myself, but ME2 is unavailable here so if anyone can gift it to me I'd be much obliged. Give me a hint what you'd like in return and it shall be yours! I'm a big tipper...don't be shy!

If you play coop with someone and then want to go back to 1p with all the xp you gained in coop you have to restart your 1p game from the very beginning. That is the definition of distinguished mentally-challenged!
The coop only works if you stick with 1 other person and play the entire game with them. The game makes it nearly impossible to jump back and forth between 1p and 2p gaming.

Capcom/Blue Castle couldn't even be arsed to make sure wireless Xbox 360 controllers worked with the PC version, or to release a patch after it was obvious they didn't. :'(

The problem is so distinguished mentally-challenged, it hurts. Basically the game checks to see if you have a controller plugged in, and if you don't, it grays out the option to use a controller. Well, for some reason, it doesn't detect the wireless controller as being a controller and grays out the option. HOWEVER, if you plug in another wired controller, it enables the option, then you can play the game just fine with the wireless controller. In other words THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH USING A WIRELESS CONTROLLER IS THAT THE GAME WON'T LET YOU SELECT THE OPTION TO USE IT!!!!! How hard could it be to patch that? But Capcom is aware of the problem and it's been three months, and there's no patch. Modders have released a workarounds, but it sucks because you can't push RT & LT at the same time, you can use the guide button, and rumble doesn't work.

Oh OK it's back.
ARMA 2 is actually a pretty interesting game. Is Battlefield 2 worth 5 bucks?
Did you use the hack to run Arma 2 completely off ram? Arma 2 is the most IO intensive game ever and there are spots where even SSDs in RAID will choke.
i grabbed the latest borderlands dlc
the battlefield 2 community has gone to shit since the time I played it at launch to now
everyone does that really annoying jump to prone shit
No, nothing's been fixed.that's annoying, sr2 is the only thing i'm interested in today. would've also got dmc4 but already played the shit out of it on consoles
Ah, a wishlist. I should have thought of that. I have barely added anything to my own, forgot it is there. I do the same thing on Amazon; my sister ended up getting me a book I'd long since forgotten I'd ever wanted. :-[
Got myself New Vegas for $25 - nowhere near ready to play it but just in case. Plus GRAW2 for $5, since I enjoyed it on 360.
On the fence about Borderlands now. The 360 version bored me to tears in SP. I know it's a co-op game, but good luck trying to find someone in this time zone of the right level who wants to play when I do. The PC version looks great though. Probably worth $10.

Hmm should I play DA on PC for the ultimate gaming experience?
Didn't work when I tried to gift it directly to a Steam member -- when I put in the email address instead it went through. Fuck yeah

Thank you!
Personally I would spend the money just to stop worrying about it. My attitude during these sales is: I'm gonna buy everything now that I might conceivably buy later on, when it'll cost more. Especially for all this stuff I'm double-dipping on. I bought Dragon Age on 360, played about 40hrs, then bought it on PC and played about 30hrs. Whatever, it's a great game and I've enjoyed the crap out of it. I've spent way more on that on games I've never played or barely played.
I picked up The Ball and BFBC2 Vietnam off D2D yesterday using the 20% off code Joe posted a couple of days ago, only played a little bit of Vietnam but it's got that BF1943 vibe going with lots of wacky kills/deaths
btw, you can use the key code from steam to register BFBC2 on EA and download the game from there, too - it's the version i play, since i'd been having punkbuster issues with the steam version
Today is: AI War: Fleet Command for $3
btw, I see few people mentioning them, but Steam does a single daily deal for indie games too. It's always on page 15.

Witcher Director's Cut is 5 bucks? Ridiculous. I could never get into it but that seems like a damn good deal for those that are into that sort of shit.
I wish I only paid 5 dollars for my copy. :/
Oh FFS. Trying to gift something and getting that credit card error. I literally just managed to buy it for myself too.
WTF is this shit.

I guess I'll double dip on the GTA eps in 2020 steam sale when I have my awesome gaming PC of the future that can't play GTAVI!
oh, and the reason the deal is for only STALKER SoC and Pripyat is because Pripyat is an expansion pack that requires the original to play. It is more a deal for Pripyat since people would get it and wonder why they couldn't play it.
how well do the old jedi night games run on Win7 64 bit?
What makes Call of Pripyat better than vanilla? I sort of liked the atmosphere in vanilla STALKER, but the janky combat was a bit too much for me to handle.
buh? CoP is not an expansion. def does not require the original. you're probable just confused about the loyalty promo where you get CoP cheaper if you owned a previous STALKER game.
i'm guessing the reason they only bundle the first and third games is because they are widely considered the better ones and Clear Sky is kind of shitty.

Guardians of Graxia looks kinda like Culdcept, any truth to this?
i got need for speed and oblivion
I wouldn't mind playing the actual Oblivion game if there was a mod to make the combat completely different and fun. As it stands it's the most boring rpg combat ever.
The Half Life 1 anthology is $2.24, but I already own HL1. Are the expansion packs any good?i haven't played them in years but i remember opposing force being pretty good and blue shift being meh and really really short
I just got the two main Mafia 2 DLCs even though they're supposed to be more arcade focused instead of story like the main game. Probably the last thing I'll get during the sale.
Although Grotesque Tactics is $2.99.

Buying the PC version seems like a bad idea. I was considering it until I read that it wasn't getting DLC and that it's kinda broken.
The biggest issue Ive seen with the PC version is autolog is pretty busted and the lack of a good friends list system is kinda stupid.

I'll probably pick the 360 version up once my dad get's working again.

The Void is a russian-made dating sim with a starvation element in survival horror trappings. It is one of my favorite games of the forever and I think anyone who likes 'games are art', eastern bloc games or digital art installations should pick this up. Now, this isn't to say that it isn't a proper game for it is very proper. The mechanics are real interesting; you grow and collect color in the world which you use as a resource to keep yourself alive, but in turn also have to use for everything else that you do (attack enemies, plant trees which will in turn grow more color, feed girls, etc.), even staying alive depletes your color, so the entire game has a real strong focus on resource management.
This is Ice-Pick Lodge's second title, their previous being Pathologic which is also an amazing game, but marred by a horrid translation. The Void, surprisingly, features fantastic voice work fully realizing the sense of famish in the characters. The world is also drab and horribly depressing (in that quaint Russian way), so when your trees sprout color it really feels like you managed to pull yourself out of the heroin addled hole the game seems so adamant on pushing you down into.
