You know, it may very well be excellent, but I'm so turned off by both NWN1 and D&D in general that I'll probably never give it a fair shot.

I hope Vampire Bloodlines becomes a daily. It's 15 bucks even after 25% off. Game is seven years old ffs.

no

Bebpo · « **Reply #185 on:** December 21, 2011, 02:19:40 PM »

Rage dropped $5 for no reason, but "just because"

It's $15 now even without a daily. Will wait and see if there's a daily, but otherwise that's still a good deal.

2 hours until yesterday's deals end. Witcher 2 at $23.99, yay or by the time you actually get to play it, it'll be much cheaper?

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #188 on:** December 21, 2011, 02:45:58 PM »

Have you played the first one? I was thinking about going though it in the next two weeks (unless skyrim goes on sale) we could play it at the same time

Got my second coupon today!

50% off Shattered Horizon

Might need someone to gift me a copy of US Arkham City, its still $50 here

cool breeze · « **Reply #191 on:** December 21, 2011, 05:43:16 PM »

Sonic Generations is $15 on Amazon DD and apparently steamworks. Probably the same price it would be on Steam, if it has a daily deal on steam.

Bebpo · « **Reply #192 on:** December 21, 2011, 05:46:04 PM »

Rage went back up to $20 again. $15 seems to have been a mistake.

Kind of tempted to give this is a shot and break my "only 1 bad sonic game per decade" rule.

cool breeze · « **Reply #194 on:** December 21, 2011, 07:48:30 PM »

I had 12 presents in dino d-day and the achievement asks for 15 present pick ups (1 per kill) and I managed some last kills with a bazooka. Then some jerkface from my team runs up and steals the presents, and then the game ends

pilonv1 · « **Reply #195 on:** December 21, 2011, 07:58:36 PM »

Can't you set up your own server and use console commands for it?

cool breeze · « **Reply #196 on:** December 21, 2011, 08:21:05 PM »

it seems different than the Valve shooters. those are random and drop even when you die. here, it is one present per kill, all in one game, and presents are team specific. also has to be on a specific snow map.

Bebpo · « **Reply #197 on:** December 21, 2011, 09:10:49 PM »

Joe did you get Guardians of Glaxia? Need to know how good/bad it is for $2.50 and time spent.

cool breeze · « **Reply #198 on:** December 21, 2011, 09:12:29 PM »

why does a stupid tower defense game gotta have 5 achievements :'(

first two are enough. not even a achievement quest is enough to get me to play more.

I only played it for the achievement, doesn't really seem that great though. You're probably better off just getting MtG: Duel of the Planeswalkers 2012.

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #200 on:** December 21, 2011, 09:53:17 PM »

Sonic Generations is 15 bucks on Amazon for the Steam key. Just bought it, I'd played it at a friends house and the thought of that at 1080p and 60fps is pretty sexy.

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #201 on:** December 21, 2011, 09:59:37 PM »

Do you only get presents from achievements on the day they go up?

Pretty sure you still get presents from the previous ones, or at least Steam seems to imply that. I'm not sure if there's a specific time limit for them or they last the whole sale though.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #203 on:** December 21, 2011, 10:17:30 PM »

I think you can go back and get previous achievements as long as the sale is going on.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #204 on:** December 21, 2011, 10:33:30 PM »

You can - I got the Orcs Must Die one the day after because I had to install it.

So can someone help me out with Arkham City? Can paypal immediately

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #205 on:** December 21, 2011, 10:42:58 PM »

I meant if I unlock the achievement now but the achievements aren't in the great gift pile yet do I get the presents once they show up in the pile, because I've got two of the revenge of the titans achievements but no presents for them.

archie4208 · « **Reply #206 on:** December 21, 2011, 11:23:20 PM »

Those cheevs aren't up yet so you won't get their prizes for the time being.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #207 on:** December 21, 2011, 11:49:57 PM »

If you do a holiday achievement now, you should get the present automatically the day that achievement is added to the gift pile thing.

Grabbed Batman and Portal 2 so far, had passed on both at release for something else. Nice to be able to grab my top two wanted titles this year in The Third at release and Batman a month later for $65 combined.

Racked up a bunch of coal, a 33% off Valve coupon and Rock of Ages so far in the gifts.

Reb · « **Reply #215 on:** December 22, 2011, 07:31:24 AM »

So difficult! I decided not to buy games since I'm spending all my money on my new house.

Do you guys think Batman will be cheaper sometimes during the sales?

benjipwns · « **Reply #216 on:** December 22, 2011, 08:09:30 AM »

Arkham City will definitely not be cheaper than the $25 it is for this daily deal during this sale. It will probably be cheaper sometime next year though.

cool breeze · « **Reply #217 on:** December 22, 2011, 10:43:34 AM »

speaking of Renegade Ops, it's currently $3 on Amazon including both DLC packs. It registers on steam.

Never bought anything digital through amazon before... you have to enter a credit card every time you want to buy something? And you can't even use paypal? That is really annoying.

Oh, one of my friends just mentioned that you can use paypal on amazon, so I took his word for it. I have a credit card saved to my account, so I never bothered with anything else.

Also, today's deals suck. Again.

Bebpo · « **Reply #224 on:** December 22, 2011, 01:16:58 PM »

What irks me about the dailies this sale is that the prices are THE EXACT SAME as they have been for these games during the normal weekly dailies and weekend sales in 2011. How is Divinity 2 still $10? (not that I care, bought it at $20 last winter sale; but still).

Where are the OMG FIRST TIME EVER 75% off $5-12.50 deals for games? I'm not seeing it at all.

Won't be surprised if I don't buy a single game from the dailies this sale and just pick up non-daily sale stuff on the last day at 50-75% off.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #225 on:** December 22, 2011, 01:24:08 PM »

exactly ... I got Limbo for $2.50 last month and haven't even played it yet. Steam's sales are so good year-round that the Christmas sale is ultimately disappointing.

Yeah, I already own Avadon on CD, on Steam, on iPad. Geneforge is also fun. Spiderweb Soft rulez

Deus Ex Human Revolution The Missing Link DLC for $3.06 on Gamersgate. It activates on steam: http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-DD-DEHRML/deus-ex-human-revolution-the-missing-link

full game is also around $10.

probably cheaper than it will appear on Steam, since it's 33% off now, and will probably top out at around 50% or 75%.

If I can't make it in time can someone snatch it for me? Will PayPal/Steam gift in return.

cool breeze · « **Reply #239 on:** December 22, 2011, 03:53:37 PM »

already over. 80% off was a price mistake; it's at 66% now. But Amazon price matched the 80% off for the main game, so you can get it for $10 there still.
