Steam Christmas Sale 2013

[Joe Molotov]

Starts tomorrow. Buy games, collect snow globes to craft crappy badges with, play TF2 and Dota 2, or whatev.

[CajoleJuice]

Hopefully it wont suck penis like the fall sale

I think it's supposed to be the exact same sale.

[benjipwns]

The regular sale prices are all the same, the dailys/flash/etc. will probably have more stuff since it runs a lot longer.

[hampster]

Agarest: Generations of War for sale pls

[Joe Molotov]

Amazon should pick up the slack. They gonna have Aliens: Colonial Marines for $2! #bomba #alienshuffle #gameoverman

[Joe Molotov]

Metal Gear Solid: Rising tomorrow for 20 smackers on Steam (possibly Amazon). Amazon says the release date is Jan 9th, so I'm not sure whether it's just the preorder that's going on sale or if Amazon has the date wrong.

Looks like it'll be in the first day of the Winter sale.

[mjemirzian]

I hope MGR PC has an unlocked framerate, I'd love to run it at 120-144FPS.

[Bebpo]

All I want for Steam sale is a discount on the Pinball Arcade season packs.  Hell, give me $10 off and I'll be happy since they really don't like giving deals but they're the only good Pinball game in town!

Defo getting in on that pre-order. Anyone that doesn't jump on $20 Rising PC is a stupid doo-doo head.

Probably starts at noon US pacific time.

[Raban]

[fistfulofmetal]

The current crop of deals end in 23 minutes, so probably then.

sale prices aren't showing up on the front page tho.

[fistfulofmetal]

buying Rising ofc

thinking about Assetto Corsa. Need some impressions on it first tho.

Rising shows up in all caps in your Library

[Bebpo]

Yup, looks like pretty much the same sales and same sales percentages as the Thanksgiving sale.  Not that I expected different when they're less than a month apart.


It's kind of silly they do big sales for both since it's just the same sale.  Also fwiw the Spring/Summer sales always seem to have better deals probably because that's X months after new games of the previous year have been out, so they're finally hitting 66-75% off.  In the fall it's like 25-40% off anything even slightly recent. 


Might bite on the Stanely Parable for $9 at 40% off because I'm seeing it on so many GoTY lists.  But I know it'll be in that 66-75% group in the spring so dunno.

[Bebpo]

Oh and as expected there is no sale at all for The Pinball Arcade tables, unless they become a daily or flash, but kind of doubt it.  Farsight is pretty f'ing stingy about sales for this game.

Bioshock Infinite season pass for 5 bucks

 


apparent price mistake that has been fixed, nothing else to see here

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Got Monaco. Supposed to be a really solid co-op game.

[Fifstar]

Isn't the winter sale longer and therefore there should be more deals?

[Rufus]

Goes til January 2nd.

[Eel O'Brian]

Bioshock Infinite season pass for 5 bucks

 

that must have been a misprice, because it's showing up at $20 for me, and i'd sooner wipe my ass with a $20 bill before i gave it up for that little content

[Shaka Khan]

I've got an issue with my CC that'll be resolved soon, and I don't wanna miss out on Dishonored. Whoever helps me snag that will be repaid equally in the next few days for a game of his choice, and I might throw in a free BJTC as a bonus.

Yea checked it again and its back at full price.

looks like it was a price mistake   

with that I will edit my post

[Rahxephon91]

Yeah I checked the Bioshock thing to. It's not $5 on my end either. Though I guess that's good, it's keeping me from wasting even more  money on that crap.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I just want to play it because Elizabeth looks hot

[close]

Got Aliens though. So I guess I'm playing crap either way.

I wonder how the Rising PC version is. Won't be buying it this time though. $20 is too rich for my steam blood.

[Bebpo]

I'll buy Rising when it's $5 if it's a good port

[Joe Molotov]

I've been hoping to catch Bioshock Infinite Season Pass on a price mistake ever since the DLC came out, because I knew it would happen, so I always check every time BI is on sale on any site. And the one time it actually happens, I miss it.

[Brehvolution]

CS:GO is less CS:Source 

[Rahxephon91]

IS CS GO even good? It's pretty cheap.

[Raban]

So much for saving the games industry, right?

I found CS:GO unenjoyable because everyone is insanely good at the game. I guess now would be the time to play, though, with the influx of new players.

Did anybody help you out? I can gift you now, or in about 10 hours again.

[benjipwns]

Only real problem with CS:GO is only three maps (and pretty lame ones at that) still for Arms Race. wtf is this shit Volvo

Otherwise it's basically CS:S with way better graphics. (And a lot of servers taking advantage of the instant respawn deathmatch mode option. Which I don't mind because you can have it randomize your weapons each life and I kinda like that tweak to the formula.) Though I'm sure CS fans can complain about all the nuances.

Nope, none yet. I'd really appreciate it if you come through, boo.

[Trent Dole]

You could've gotten a double decker taco for that $2, and you'd enjoy the taco more...

[Rahxephon91]

Then you'd have to drive to taco bell. Amazon, I can do from home.

[Eel O'Brian]

That reminds me, need to uninstall that. That game is pure trash, and I say that as someone who didn't think Legendary: The Box was all that bad.

[fistfulofmetal]

People should at least play A:CM so they can experience the horror themselves.

I also can gift you the game. I don't know if Rebiak has already done it or has his heart set on doing it. But I can purchase now.

[pilonv1]

Does Aliens have cards?

[fistfulofmetal]

Does Aliens have cards?

When you buy it, you get a big card with an L on it. And you can't sell it and it shows up on your public profile forever.

[pilonv1]

Is that card tradeable though? I could trade it for more cards

[Bebpo]

I already bought the game at $90 fucking dollars for the Japanese import at launch 

I didn't even like the game that much.  Was a letdown as a Platinum title, as an MGS title, and as an action game.  4 hour barebones game rushed out the door in a 1 year quick quick quick development because the project had failed under Konami.

But I'll still give them $5 for the effort of making a PC port because I'd like more PC ports and I'm curious how the game would look at 1080/60fps with v-sync and 4xAA just from a graphical perspective.  Plus I never played the 2 DLCs and they're included so I'd have a reason to at least get an hour or two of game out of it and $5 sounds about right.

[Rahxephon91]

MGR is the best MGS title this gen hands down.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

There is no competition

[close]

[Bebpo]

Nah, as shitty as MGS4 is (and man is the 2nd half of it shitty), Acts 1 & 2 and the ONE AREA of Act 5 are pretty amazing awesome stealth MGS and way better than anything in MGR.  MGR is better than Acts 3&4 and the story in MGR is better than MGS4 because it's just as bad but the cutscenes are half the length and you feel less guilty skipping them all after a certain point.

[Bebpo]

It's been a bad generation for MGS though.  Portable Ops, 4, Peace Walker, Rising all have good qualities but they're all flawed and a big step down from MGS3.  MGS Ac!d 1 & 2 are probably the best "MGS" games this past gen.

Reaaaaally hope MGSV is a comeback.  We shall see but I've got my $50 dollar-for-a-demo PS4 retail Ground Zeroes import pre-order in already so I'll keep paying Kojima regardless.  Not expecting much out of GZ, but am expecting a lot out of The Phantom Pain in 2015.

[Human Snorenado]

Somebody let me know when the SRIV season pass is on sale.

[Purple Filth]

No tacos are around me and if there was one it wouldn't cost $2  :'(
