Steam Holiday Sales (1/2: Repeat deals)

[Bebpo]

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.

Darn you and your logic

/bought DA:U

Maybe I'll play it in Jan finally. 

[Cormacaroni]

I'm trying to free up SSD space to install the motherfucker right now, holy crap! 24GB!

[Bebpo]

If you haven't seen this already, check out this link:

this too:

I'm gonna use a few of those when I finally sit down to play it.


Original game + 9 official DLCs + a dozen or so mods + 1 full expansion = gonna be a lot of content, haha.

[Cormacaroni]

whoa, thanks!

I look at Ultimate as getting the DLC for free, since I'd pay more than $25 for just Awakenings. I should really sell off my console versions of all this stuff i've been getting but...Japan. No resell value for Xbox anything.

[Cormacaroni]

Probably never, since it's already been released at retail here in both Japanese and English. Sometimes things are just delayed until the translated version hits the local market but if Civ hasn't been released now, I wouldn't count on it ever happening. Get some kind soul to gift it to you. I would ask myself but I think I have a free code coming my way soon anyway.

[Smooth Groove]

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

I too picked up Bad Company 2 Vietnam off Direct2drive and can confirm it works with the Steam version.  Hopefully, I won't get my ass kicked too bad in this game because the new stuff seems pretty cool.

Repeat deals today (smh)

[Akala]

 

[cool breeze]

they don't even have the extra bonuses this time

btw, I see few people mentioning them, but Steam does a single daily deal for indie games too.  It's always on page 15.

Today is: AI War: Fleet Command for $3

[Enl]

Today is: AI War: Fleet Command for $3

Meant to grab this last year when it was on sale but I was out of funds. Snagged it as soon as I saw it on sale today. Can't wait to try it.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

Gabe, I am disappoint.

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

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. :/

I bought PS3 non-exclusive Blue Toad Murder Files yesterday for $3. Take that, Sony.

[Cormacaroni]

Try it via email - that worked for me with Eel.

I paid $40 and played it for about half an hour. Goddamn it.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

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.

Edit: gifted it to someone else and it worked fine. Someone will just have to miss out :|

sucks to not be me! thanks Jonny

[Eel O'Brian]

pilonv1

Thanks, man!  I'd really been flip-flopping over buying that game (heard the DRM is pretty bad with limited activations and registering with a third party website),  so it's doubly appreciated!

[Sho Nuff]

Apparently the lameo repeat deals end in TWO MINUTES

[Sho Nuff]

HAWX 2 for $33, gee how can I resist

[fistfulofmetal]

i was gonna buy the Eve Online expansion then i realized I ALREADY HAVE IT!

i bought killing floor since my friends keep talking about it

[cool breeze]

I thought the humble bundle was still going on and was going to say that machinarium for $3 is a waste when you could have got it, 10 other games, and donated to charity for whatever you wanted.  Plus those copies activated with steam anyway.

another day, money saved.

[Bebpo]

Terrible sales.  Not buying anything today.

NWN2 is probably the only thing decently priced.

[Yoritomo]

Is the lost planet 2 co-op any good?

[Cravis]

Nothing for me today. Fingers crossed for a Crysis pack.

When does the sale end? Friday?

[Raban]

Nothing for me today. Fingers crossed for a Crysis pack.

When does the sale end? Friday?

Six days.

[pilonv1]

pilonv1

No problem. I bought a bunch of the repeats today as gifts and saw that was added to your wishlist today. Enjoy it!

[Cormacaroni]

I've had Neverwinter Nights 2 in my amazon cart for a while now but was hoping for just such an opportunity, bwah ha ha ha.

Any power bottoms out there care to gift me Mirror's Edge? 

[Joe Molotov]

HAWX 2 for $33, gee how can I resist

Buy HAWX 2, Get Raped by Awful DRM for Free!

[D3RANG3D]

Who wants to kindly buy me Serious Sam Gold HD

[Cormacaroni]

thank yew for Mirror's Edge, Sho Nuff!

I now have pretty much everything I wanted out of this sale, really. Oblivion is about the only thing I'm still jonesing for, but it hasn't been particularly cheap yet and I can easily wait with all this RPG goodness to chew through.

Neverwinter motherfucking Nights 2! Say it again motherfuckers!

[Cormacaroni]

no white sock toes! FAIL

[Howard Alan Treesong]

oh crap, I didn't realize NWN2 includes the expansions, especially Planescape: Torment 2 (aka Mask of the Betrayer). BOUGHT.

[Don Flamenco]

holy fucking shit, the Witcher runs decently on my macbook.   

--Nvidia 9400m 
--2gb ddr3
--2.0ghz core 2 duo 

of course, it's all set to low.  but the res is 1200x800.  the framerate is shit when I fight 5+ guys though and it doesn't like sparkly magic effects at all.  I think it'll be totally playable though.

whatever, for $5 I can't complain.

[archie4208]

[Howard Alan Treesong]

if you don't buy RUSH for $1.69 you are a distinguished mentally-challenged

[fistfulofmetal]

grabbed Crysis pack

[Bebpo]

I am not a distinguished mentally-challenged so I bought RUSH

...nothing else today though!

[Sho Nuff]

I heard Mount and Blade was super fucked up

[Cravis]

Crysis is mine. 

[Shaka Khan]

Sigh, I've been trying to make a few purchases for the past three hours but without any success.

At first I tried using active CC but it was rejected, tried my Paypal (which is attached to the same CC) but it was also reject, and finally tried adding funds using the same paypal account, it went through, but when I changed my payment method to "Steam Wallet" (which now has enough money), that too got rejected

STEAM IS FUCKING RACIST!

[Yoritomo]

I've been gifting a ton and my father has been doing the same in my general direction.  We can no longer gift.  I can buy stuff for myself and he can do likewise but anytime we try to gift anything it says the card is rejected.   

[Bebpo]

Yeah, I tried sending a gift to an EBer yesterday but it got rejected.  But I was able to buy stuff for myself today.

I think the steam anti-fraud thing is especially iffy on heavy gifting.

[pilonv1]

It might be, my credit card company called me on a Sunday during the summer sale asking about the number of small dollar transactions to Valve.

[Shaka Khan]

Come to think of it I wasn't trying to purchase anything for myself, but gifts as well. I'll try to buy something cheap and see if it works.

[Beezy]

if you don't buy RUSH for $1.69 you are a distinguished mentally-challenged

[pilonv1]

who gifted me Serious Sam? You can probably give it to someone else, I'll never play it.

Sorry, I do appreciate the sentiment

[Cormacaroni]

Not much for me today, although I'll probably weaken and get the Doom pack along with Rush before the day is out. Lots of these games look pretty bad.

btw, I learned on the Steam forums that NWN 2 has been patched FORTY EIGHT TIMES since release. Probably most of that is MotB. Obsidian

[Smooth Groove]

How much was Neverwinter 2 during the sale?  I was away the last couple of days.  I already got all the NWN2 games but I would have been willing to give Steam $5 to take care of all the patching. 

[Cormacaroni]

yeah, i got it, thanks!

btw, you can see the games everyone owns via the Community tab.

[Cormacaroni]

$10

It was the first time it has been on steam so who knows, maybe it'll stay that price!

You can see if they've redeemed it by the Manage Gifts/Guest Passes menu option.

[cool breeze]

humble indie bundle saved me $2 on Amnesia

Brother in Arms games are great.  They're WW2 shooters that are more about controlling your squad than it is about shooting people (partly because you're kinda gimped alone compared to Medal of Honor or Call of Duty games).  It's mostly simple commands, but entertaining nonetheless.  The newest one, Hell's Highway, makes your shooting ability more useful and there are sections where you play on your own.
