Don't buy Saints Row it doesn't work. Buy Grimrock.

Himu · « **Reply #61 on:** July 12, 2012, 07:10:28 PM »

Magicka, Limbo, and Trine 2 are the next 8hr deal poll.

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #62 on:** July 12, 2012, 07:29:05 PM »

Saints Row 3 fuckin books on the PC, awesome port

I think I might buy Call of Pripyat, wondering what makes it better than the previous games

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #63 on:** July 12, 2012, 07:30:41 PM »

TRINE 2!!!!

is it just me or are they adding developer packs randomly? i go to the page and some are missing and some are added. or are they just adding them. i cant tell.

Himu · « **Reply #64 on:** July 12, 2012, 07:30:53 PM »

I'm getting 200-500 kbs. I usually cap out at 800kbs - 1mb for Steam. What is everyone else's speed? Because this is horrendous.

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #65 on:** July 12, 2012, 07:38:32 PM »

I'm getting about 2 MB/s. That is a little under half of the usual Steam download speeds I experience.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #66 on:** July 12, 2012, 07:40:53 PM »

I bought and downloaded Call of Juarez in about 15 minutes earlier today, was pulling down 2.7mb speeds. I figured I'd better go ahead and get it done now, because for the rest of the sale the DL speeds are gonna be pretty shit-tay.

Trent Dole · « **Reply #67 on:** July 12, 2012, 07:42:08 PM »

Saints Row the Third > every other open worldy crime fest available right now.

Himu · « **Reply #68 on:** July 12, 2012, 07:43:00 PM »

I have never gotten better than 1mb speed. Guess this is Embarq being shit again!

pilonv1 · « **Reply #69 on:** July 12, 2012, 07:45:55 PM »

What was the 4th first flash sale? Wasn't available in my region

Also starting to regret not getting the $20 Paradox pack from Amazon, Crusader Kings 2 is still $10 then the DLC is extra

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #70 on:** July 12, 2012, 07:47:05 PM »

I'm just going to wait to dl my shit until later.

have you tried changing your download region?

Himu · « **Reply #72 on:** July 12, 2012, 07:50:49 PM »

Yeah, I have it set up for my region city. Funnily, I used to get better speeds from Dallas and I'm in Houston.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #73 on:** July 12, 2012, 07:52:46 PM »

You can change it back and forth to wherever you want at any time, I used to get really good speeds out of Washington while my speeds on a server here in NC were shit. Mess around with it for a while and see if you can pull better somewhere else.

Himu · « **Reply #74 on:** July 12, 2012, 07:57:31 PM »

Washington state?

Dickie Dee · « **Reply #75 on:** July 12, 2012, 08:04:45 PM »

Just boughted Ys and SR3. Don't even really expect to play them

Thinking about getting a pad, are there any bluetooth pads that ya'll would recommend? Do people use bluetooth pads

so in SR3 co-op. do i bring in my character? like my fully upgraded character? how does that work. anyone know?

cool breeze · « **Reply #78 on:** July 12, 2012, 08:53:11 PM »

I wanted either Batman or Witcher 2 to win. Both lost.

Now I want Magika and Limbo to win. I voted for Trine 2.

You can, but if we're gonna play co-op I'd prefer a new character. A maxed character with a new character would make for some really boring co-op.

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #80 on:** July 12, 2012, 09:10:25 PM »

Bought Ys 3 and Jamestown.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #81 on:** July 12, 2012, 09:28:25 PM »

Guess I'll have to reinstall Steam. The packs are always so tempting even though I usually own at least 70% in the pack.

Oh, cool.

I just grabbed Grimrock and Saint Row 3.

Never played a SR before, it better live up to its ridiculous Bore reputation. I'm going to hold that disgusting shill Himu responsible if it doesn't.

cool breeze · « **Reply #88 on:** July 12, 2012, 10:49:33 PM »

NEW FLASH SALES

BTTF - $6.24
Force Unleashed 2 - $5

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #91 on:** July 12, 2012, 11:31:25 PM »

how the fuck is anyone here going to get any sleep with all these flash sales GAAAAAH

Himu · « **Reply #92 on:** July 12, 2012, 11:33:55 PM »

Don't buy flash sales. They'll appear in the last day at a much cheaper price.

That's exactly what I was thinking, and why I'm hoping Himumu is right.

Himu · « **Reply #94 on:** July 12, 2012, 11:44:44 PM »

Only buy daily sales, 8hr community sales, or stuff you really want that's already really cheap (like 2 bucks) that's going to last the entire sale. For example, I got Noitu Love 2 for 2 bucks.

You're not getting anything cheaper than 75%. You really think BTTF is going to be less than $6? '

More likely is that the "flash" sales are going to be daily deals but rotated super quick.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #96 on:** July 12, 2012, 11:51:06 PM »

I'm holding out on Heroes VI.

Also, the Summer Sale starting the week I got a fat paycheck is FUCKING DANGEROUS.

Yeah, I suggest checking your wishlist and looking at all prices.

I had to get Saints Row 3 once I found out Nikki Benz was in the game.

how long do the community choice sales last?

~~Trine 2 won, btw.~~

Himu · « **Reply #102 on:** July 13, 2012, 01:50:55 AM »

they last 8 hours

etiolate · « **Reply #103 on:** July 13, 2012, 01:50:58 AM »

How do you know it won?

BECAUSE IT BETTER HAVE WON

cool breeze · « **Reply #104 on:** July 13, 2012, 01:53:30 AM »

It says it on the front page. Deal goes up in ~40 minutes. Something like $4 for it.

I'll just order it tomorrow (laterer today) if it lasts 8 hours.

oh wait nvm. It's just highlighting my choice of Trine 2. Voting closes in that time. Sorry for the confusion.

I got my own hopes up :'(

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #105 on:** July 13, 2012, 01:56:13 AM »

What's a flash sale?

pilonv1 · « **Reply #106 on:** July 13, 2012, 02:02:23 AM »

Short sales of around 6-12 hours. There's 4 of them at any time.

BTTF and Warlock changed to Darksiders and Spellforce

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #107 on:** July 13, 2012, 02:26:36 AM »

Darksiders is quality you fucker, buy it if you don't already have it

etiolate · « **Reply #108 on:** July 13, 2012, 02:36:07 AM »

It's Trine 2. Just have to wait now. Pick up it and Darksiders maybe.

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #109 on:** July 13, 2012, 02:36:39 AM »

Unrelated: I stumbled on an old review I left for VVVVVV. It basically boiled down to "Awesome game, lack of 3D graphics and jump was kind of disappointing though." I can't get any more disgusting than this even if I try. Needless to say I deleted that shit right away.

Himu · « **Reply #111 on:** July 13, 2012, 02:39:08 AM »

I dunno. VVVVV isn't my style. It's a good game, but it just gets tiring. I prefer Meat Boy.

Fair enough, I have it as well but I'm gonna pick up Trine 2.

Himu · « **Reply #113 on:** July 13, 2012, 02:40:35 AM »

Picked up Syberia 1 and 2 bundle, Still Life 1 and 2 bundle, and Darksiders.

That's understandable, but knocking it for not having 3D graphics or a jump button is moronic. Having either would transform it into a completely different game/"experience."

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #115 on:** July 13, 2012, 02:42:42 AM »

Everyone should be adding shit that's only showed up at 50% off (Rayman Origins and Heroes VI for me) so far to their wishlist so you can check on that shit for the last day. MAXIMIZE YOUR SAVINGS BITCHES.

I suspect this is most of the reason why they introduced voting for these Flash deals.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #117 on:** July 13, 2012, 03:04:15 AM »

New community choice options are Stronghold 3 GOLD, Ghost Recon 2 and Brink.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #118 on:** July 13, 2012, 03:07:39 AM »

Still, TRINE 2 GET @ 3.74 or whatever is a steal.

etiolate · « **Reply #119 on:** July 13, 2012, 03:25:31 AM »

Grabbing Syberia II, Darksiders and Trine 2.

Also, I have no interest in the new set of flash deals. If someone wants one of them, they can have my vote.
