I did not participate this round because my backlog is absolutely shameful in size. Giana Sisters and Hotline Miami aren't going anywhere so I can wait.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #181 on:** December 29, 2012, 10:48:27 AM »

I guess saying this sale was bad isn't exactly accurate. I think it's more accurate to say that everyone else blew them out of the water.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #182 on:** December 29, 2012, 10:56:06 AM »

well, either Valve let them blow them out of the water or publishers allowed other sites to have deeper discounts.

Himu · « **Reply #183 on:** December 30, 2012, 04:28:52 AM »

What in the bloody hell is with Civ V? I am interested in Civ V + Gods and Kings and none of this shit is informative. You've got Civ V goty edition, but it doesn't say what is IN the goty edition. Then you've got a goty edition plus a 10 dollar upgrade but again, no info on what's in this upgrade.

What the fuck.

archnemesis · « **Reply #184 on:** December 30, 2012, 04:44:31 AM »

The GOTY edition includes:

Quote

All 4 Cradle of Civilization Map Packs (Mediterranean, Asia, Americas, Mesopotamia)
Civilization Pack: Babylon (Nebuchadnezzar II)
Double Civilization and Scenario Pack: Spain and Inca
Civilization and Scenario Pack: Polynesia
Civilization and Scenario Pack: Denmark - The Vikings
Explorer’s Map Pack
Official Digital Soundtrack (Soundtrack not available on the Mac)

i.e. most of the (all?) smaller DLC stuff, but not the full expansion.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #185 on:** December 30, 2012, 06:23:19 AM »

The scenarios suck anyway. Main thing you want is all the extra civs.

archie4208 · « **Reply #186 on:** December 30, 2012, 07:27:12 AM »

Gods and Kings is $3.30 at Green Man Gaming right now (85% deal + 30% coupon)

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #187 on:** December 30, 2012, 10:47:37 AM »

These flash sales votes are always kinda weird. Like Civ5- how many times has that been on sale? A bajillion. I think folks fall back on WHAT GAME IS BEST when they don't particularly care, but lets be real- most of us already own Civ5.

Not as bad as last year though where people voted for Sanctum to win a flash sale- wtf that was free and on sale all the time in 2011

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #188 on:** December 30, 2012, 10:49:00 AM »

Should I vote for 50% off Half-Life or 50% off Far Cry 3?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #191 on:** December 30, 2012, 10:52:49 AM »

HALF LIFE 2 IS A CLASSIC GAME AND SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED AS SUCH WITH MY VOTE DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I hear there's a guy in Angola who doesn't have HL2 yet.

This one's for you, Angola guy.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #193 on:** December 30, 2012, 11:07:46 PM »

Heads up: Renegade Ops is less than 3 bucks on GMG after applying the coupon.

benjipwns · « **Reply #194 on:** December 30, 2012, 11:48:36 PM »

$10 for Age of Empires III seems high to me. And that's 75% off. But there it is at #3.

Maybe that's because I have a disc copy of the base game somewhere though.

Himu · « **Reply #195 on:** December 30, 2012, 11:50:37 PM »

No, even at 10 bucks it's a rip off. Isn't that game fucking 6-7 years old?

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #196 on:** December 30, 2012, 11:58:25 PM »

Pretty sure I bought AoE 3 for 10 cents on GFWL Marketplace at some point.

People buying heavily discounted games that they don't end up playing is a huge reason why steam sales are so successful.

It was another one of Gamersgate "accidental" sales, like when the Bethesda pack was $20 or the Borderlands 2 4-pack was $11.

Dude, I totally FINISHED Hunted- which is crazy cause its like, not AAA material or anything. It just totally works in all the mechanical ways that matter so its engaging.

I played it a little bit today, it's simple but fun. I'm getting some weird performance problems, though, and I'm not sure how to fix it. Doesn't crop up all the time, but every few minutes or so [usually during some transition or during loading] it comes up. Not a deal-breaker, though.

for some reason (probably Square Enix) - the base price of this is 80 FRIGGIN BUCKS on the Japan store (yes, they still list it in freedom money....). And Dark Souls/Demon Souls still unavailable, grumble grumble

otoh, I got Far Cry 3 at last so whatevs

MAF, did you have any problems running Hunted: The Demon's Forge? I'm having problems with really long load times and 20-30 second bouts of severe performance problem in areas where it has to load in a new part of a level. I tried looking around online, but couldn't come up with any kind of solution.

archnemesis · « **Reply #235 on:** January 03, 2013, 12:19:06 PM »

I voted for Krater since it's the better game and I don't think it has been 75% off before. Everyone should already own Legend of Grimrock by now.

Verify cache or reinstall might fix that. The game also has a weird issue where the very first time you start it up it can take a very long time to actually boot into the game itself. Every time after that is fine, though.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #238 on:** January 03, 2013, 02:11:52 PM »

More people need to be spreading the gift of Garshasp. Both amazing titles for just $2.50! It's the perfect gift for the person you mildly loathe! Or maybe you LIKE Garshasp, I'm not gonna judge.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #239 on:** January 03, 2013, 02:17:30 PM »

verified it 3 different times, always said a file was missing and downloaded it, still crashed on launch

someone on the steam forums said firewall might be fucking with it, turned it off, still crashed

restarted PC, steam, still crashed

i'll just use that 9GB on something else for now, and redownload/try again later*

*after i've played every single other game i own on steam. maybe.
