Decided to get Crusader Kings + DLC today. I want to play as a Muslim.

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #121 on:** July 13, 2012, 04:19:46 AM »

I played as a Muslim before it was popular.

If you missed the Deus Ex HR flash sale, it's cheaper by a couple quarters (77% off, $7) on Amazon still: http://www.amazon.com/Deus-Ex-Revolution-Standard-Download/dp/B005HRZ29K/

Steamworks game.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #123 on:** July 13, 2012, 05:27:35 AM »

woooo Trine 2!

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #124 on:** July 13, 2012, 05:36:36 AM »

First day haul:
- Syberia bundle
- Grimrock
- Noitu 2
- Trine 2
- SR3

This is crazy compared to what I ended up buying during the underwhelming Christmas sale. Going by my list the Flash deals and Community Choice are evidently a success.

benjipwns · « **Reply #125 on:** July 13, 2012, 05:39:10 AM »

If you didn't use the Serious Sam 3 coupon from Raptr, they've fixed it so you can't stack on the discount price anymore.

Indeed.

So far I got:

Rayman: Origins
Star Wars: TFU 2
Trine 2

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #127 on:** July 13, 2012, 06:17:41 AM »

Grimrock
Deus Ex HR
Portal 2 (what can I say, I was lazy and never got it since there was an X360 copy at my old job)
Trine 2

For about a little more than $20. Shit be CRAY.

I have Heroes of MM VI, Rayman Origins and Ys Origins on my wish list... I'm not buying shit that's only 50% off.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #128 on:** July 13, 2012, 07:29:34 AM »

Just wanna say that Spellforce is a pretty cool game.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #129 on:** July 13, 2012, 08:24:34 AM »

Just Call of Juarez at $2.50 so far for me. I keep going to purchase things, then thinking "Dude, you have enough games. You have tons of shit you will never play," then removing them from my cart. They'll be there at the holiday sale if I want them, at the same discounts or less. I'll still pick up a few things, but I can see myself only spending $20-30 total this time. Finally starting to get some common sense, I guess.

tiesto · « **Reply #130 on:** July 13, 2012, 08:35:27 AM »

Bought Ys Origins a few weeks ago at full price, even though I haven't played it yet. Oh well... will get Noitu Love 2 and Trine 2 though.

Beezy · « **Reply #131 on:** July 13, 2012, 08:52:20 AM »

I can only aim for the 2D games or the 3D games that run fine on low settings/old PCs.

Does anyone here recommend Terraria?

benjipwns · « **Reply #132 on:** July 13, 2012, 08:56:10 AM »

I know it's cliche to compare it to Minecraft, but it does have a good number of similarities in terms of possibly endless playtime though it has more action-adventure elements to it, so if you like that type of thing it's a solid pick up at $2-3.

archie4208 · « **Reply #133 on:** July 13, 2012, 09:07:30 AM »

Traded TF2 crap for Oath of Felghana.

Hmm... thanks. I think I'll just get Ys Oath of Felghana. I've never played any of them despite my love for arpgs.

Whew, purchased Trine 2 with 10 minutes to spare. I've learned an important lesson about sleeping during the Steam Sale (don't).

Tasty · « **Reply #137 on:** July 13, 2012, 11:01:32 AM »

Not a bad haul considering I've played none of these games before.

Planning on getting more if stuff pops up that catches my eye. I really need a better computer to play the newer games though.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #138 on:** July 13, 2012, 11:02:12 AM »

KOTOR hits $2.50 almost every sale. I'd wait.

Here's some Secret Sales (75%+): http://www.reddit.com/r/GameDeals/comments/wgsag/psa_hidden_sales_on_steam_only_70_to_80_xpost/

Perennial favorite Time Gentlemen, Please! and Ben There, Dan That double-pack is ONE FUCKING DOLLAR.

cool breeze · « **Reply #139 on:** July 13, 2012, 11:17:10 AM »

yeah, other than Portal you should really hold off on those. Especially those Half-Life games. You're missing out on HL2 Episodes 1&2, plus expansions for the original.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #140 on:** July 13, 2012, 11:18:54 AM »

I grabbed Wings of Prey against my better judgement because I want to play it tonight. Also bought GRAW 2 lol

Ganhyun · « **Reply #141 on:** July 13, 2012, 11:46:21 AM »

Picked up Grimlock for myself and gifted MAF a game he'd wanted. Warlock I believe.

Yeah, but $2.23 gets you the Wrath of the Lamb expansion and the soundtrack. So spend another buck!

Actually, in celebration of my having played 100 hours of Isaac (OH GOD) I will gift someone Isaac. Who wants Isaac?

SSF4AE is only $10 right now, or $30 for a 4-pack. Pretty good deal, just bought it.

Don't get it on PC if you're interested in those upcoming updates-- the PC version is way behind the console versions and hasn't even received the earlier patches yet.

G The Resurrected · « **Reply #157 on:** July 13, 2012, 02:28:53 PM »

Postal 3 any thoughts? I was gonna get it for Xmas but never got around to it since it wasn't on steam. Now that it is I'm tempted by its $17.99 price. That and Quantum Conumdrum look good so far. I hate that the indie bundles all have crap I already own so there's no point in buying them even if there are games I want in them due to the sale.

cool breeze · « **Reply #158 on:** July 13, 2012, 03:18:44 PM »

Binding of Isaac is amazingly worth it. There are people on my friends list with 100+ hours ranked on it. I think I've only played 10 or 20.

Tomb Raider games (flash deal) are very much worth it...if you haven't bought them the last hundred time they were this cheap.

and please vote for Rage!

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #159 on:** July 13, 2012, 03:31:43 PM »

Plus the dlc for Binding of Isaac is also on sale. it's .74 cents lol

If you guys are interested in the Tomb Raider games, go with Anniversary and Guardian of Light. Anniv. is the best 3d TR.

its just as you said.

They have a flash deal for Half Life Complete which has Half Life, Opposing force, Blue shift, Half Life 2, EP1 and EP2, etc (deathmatch, Lost Coast) for 75% off. I hope Andrex didn't pull the trigger at that point.

Just got HL2: Episode 1 and HL2: Episode 2

Thanks steam

Surprised about the rave impressions for Binding of Isaac. Vids make it look boring. What's the appeal? I bought it though.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #170 on:** July 13, 2012, 06:42:39 PM »

it's roguelike + classic Zelda dungeons + great music and art

Purple Filth · « **Reply #171 on:** July 13, 2012, 06:44:11 PM »

Assassin's Creed Revelations won the poll with 40%

Darkness 2 : 31%

Rage: 29%

Ganhyun · « **Reply #172 on:** July 13, 2012, 06:49:56 PM »

So, I have From Dust on my 360. Is it better on the PC? I wasn't impressed with the 360 version.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #173 on:** July 13, 2012, 07:13:32 PM »

Don't buy AssCreed Revelations, they're sure to do an AssCreed franchise sale during one of the dailies and you might be able to snag it at 75% off (at worst for the 66% off it is right now).

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #174 on:** July 13, 2012, 07:47:21 PM »

I kinda like the UI for this sale - they ditched the fanart and fancy theme days in favor of SELLIN SHIT

My pleasure. Isaac rules.

I'm not sure if the game automatically installs with Wrath of the Lamb, but if it doesn't you might wanna start off with the vanilla game to get acquainted with it. Expansion makes it harder & might be a tad overkill. Your call though.

Beezy · « **Reply #177 on:** July 13, 2012, 08:25:34 PM »

cool breeze · « **Reply #178 on:** July 13, 2012, 09:41:54 PM »

I don't know if the Binding of Isaac DLC makes it easier, but I played for the first time in months and finally finished it a second time. I don't think I had to do the last two levels to reach the heart last time I finished it.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #179 on:** July 13, 2012, 09:53:27 PM »

The expansion adds a lot of powerful items, but also adds some more powerful enemies. With the right items, you're basically unstoppable though.
