Steam Holiday Sales (1/2: Repeat deals)

[Howard Alan Treesong]

May check out Greed Corp at that price. Still too scared to play Amnesia. 

[Sho Nuff]

Somehow I missed out on all the publisher megapacks that are on the second page of the promotion. The Square/Eidos one is pretty fucking nutty, I would totally grab it if I hadn't bought the Eidos one last year.

[fistfulofmetal]

who wants Amnesia.

[Great Rumbler]

who wants Amnesia.

I'll take it.

[fistfulofmetal]

have fun

[Herr Mafflard]

is anyone else getting "There has been an internal error..." yadda yadda when trying to purchase something?

this never happened before

edit: it just let me purchase something for myself, but now it won't let me purchase a gift - something about payment authorization. LAME-O

[Great Rumbler]

have fun

Awesome! Can't wait to install Amnesia, play the first five minutes, and then never turn it on again because I'm too scared!

gifting by email instead of directly through steam seems to be working better for most people in the thread

[Cravis]

Amnesia's awesome. Play it with the lights out and the sound cranked up. 

[Dickie Dee]

I'll say it again, just in case (and this isn't philanthropy), but would anyone like Halflife 2?

[fistfulofmetal]

i got need for speed and oblivion

[Joe Molotov]

Transformers War for Cybertron - $19.99
Singularity - $24.99

Activision, Y U SUCK SO BAD? Both of those games should be about a fiver.

[Bebpo]

zzzz

I'm kind of glad Singularity is so expensive because I just bought the X360 version yesterday for $15 since I was under the impression there was no PC version.  Would've been pissed if it was the same price or less and I screwed up.

can't believe they're still charging $10 for Oblivion and $20 for Fallout 3.  Bethesda 50% sales are almost as bad as Capcom/Activision 50% sales.


Miiiight re-buy GTA Eps for $10.  I'm going to open my X360 copy of Episodes from Liberty City and try it out tonight and see how good/bad it looks/runs and decide if it's worth $10 for the upgrade.


Otherwise it seems like a pass on everything today unless people tell me Hegemoney or Grand Ages Rome are awesome since they are cheap cheap and I'll buy anything awesome for cheap cheap.

[Sho Nuff]

Transformers War for Cybertron - $19.99
Singularity - $24.99

Activision, Y U SUCK SO BAD? Both of those games should be about a fiver.

They are every bit as bad on the App Store.

[ManaByte]

Buy NFS

[Crash Dummy]

pretty sure both morrowind and oblivion were sold together for less than what oblivion is being sold for now last year or in the summer. thinking about eu3 complete, though apparently it's not really complete and you need another expansion

[CajoleJuice]

Think I'm gonna get EU3 Complete, just so I can try it one time and have my brain bleed out of my orifices.

[Eel O'Brian]

i wonder if they'll sell a copy of RUSE, that whopping 33% discount is surely a temptation

[Eel O'Brian]

oblivion was $8.50 in june of this year, according to my transaction list

[Herr Mafflard]

Bought Hot Pursuit.

Also I still can't send gifts, so I just sent Steam an email. Hopefully they'll be able to iron things out.

[Joe Molotov]

Today's sale reminded me that I have Oblivion. Been browsing the TESNexus all afternoon, imma gone the mod the bejeezus out of that thing! Nude patch a go-go!

[pilonv1]

i wonder if they'll sell a copy of RUSE, that whopping 33% discount is surely a temptation

Depends if that person bought it during the treasure hunt sale for the same discount.

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

10 bucks for GTA 4 complete?  Sure, why not.

Thinking about Need For Speed Hot Pursuit too....

[Joe Molotov]

thinking about eu3 complete, though apparently it's not really complete and you need another expansion

It just depends on how complete you wanna get. EU3: Complete has the first two expansions, there's a third expansion on Steam that's sold separately, and now there's a fourth expansion that's out but isn't on Steam yet.

Yeah, I mean UE3+2 exp for 5 bucks seems good to me.

Jinfash, that silly creepazoid! He is the Shattered Savior.

What a guy.

[Cormacaroni]

The indie deal is Arcadia, btw (awful-looking Geometry Wars clone)

hmm, Oblivion isn't a great deal but still a lot cheaper than a physical copy over here. Anybody feel like gifting it to me, since it's unavailable in Japan? Usual terms apply!

[GilloD]

Whats the deal with Hegemony? Looks neat

[pilonv1]

lol Transformers and Singularity aren't even available in my region. Steam doing me a favour for once.

[Cormacaroni]

thanks to Joe Molotov for Oblivion GOTY! 

What a sweet sexy hunk of a man. 

[Bebpo]

I tried GTA Eps on X360 for a few mins and man GTAIV looks like shit regardless of your platform which is a shame because the core city when maxed out is gorgeous.

PS3: Blurry, low res look for everything from textures to effects, jaggies, 30fps maybe - ugly
X360: low res look for everything from textures to effects, jaggies, 30fps maybe - ugly
PC: sharp detailed high res look for everything, horrible jaggies, horrible performance - less ugly
PC 2020: sharp detailed high res look for everything, supersample 4x AA, 60fps - drop dead gorgeous game

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!

GTA4 is more CPU reliant than anything but I think a high end i7 quad or hex plus something like the Radeon 5970 could probably max it out.  Just taking a guess here though.

[archie4208]

Far Cry 2 - $4.99
Dawn of Discovery - $14.99
Empire & Napoleon Total War - $24.99
Flight Control HD - $1.60
Theatre of War 75% off
Supreme Commander 2 - $3.74
Hat Fortress 2 - $5.00
Red Alert 3 - 75% off
Hitman Collection - $7.49
STALKER Bundle - $4.99
Star Wars Jedi Knight Collection - $4.99
Guardians of Graxia - $2.49

[archie4208]

STALKER collection only has vanilla and Call of Pripyat.  No Clear Sky

[cool breeze]

STALKER deal is incredible since it includes the two good games (Pripyat is the best, btw).  Haven't played Clear Sky with mods yet, but the vanilla version wasn't nearly as good as the other two.

I only got the Jedi Knight one. 

also, the Hitman collection isn't a collection; each game is reduced to $2.50.  Blood Money is the most recent and best one and is so worth it.


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.

[archie4208]

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.

[Eel O'Brian]

haha, past few days have seemed like they're lifting directly from my wish list

stop staring at me, steam

[Eel O'Brian]

infectedgib

[demi]

Eel, my fuzzy rotund friend appreciated your gift. He was like WHO IS THIS???

If he didnt say anything to you yet.

He's on a MAC though so, he cant play half of the games unfortunately. But any other Mac games feel free to hook a bear up

[Eel O'Brian]

he told me in chat but i was afk, i left a message on his profile

i feel bad he can't play some of the stuff in the pack, you'd think with the slight system requirements and small file sizes they'd all be ported over

[Eel O'Brian]

how well do the old jedi night games run on Win7 64 bit?

[fistfulofmetal]

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.

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.
