Steam Christmas Sale 2013

[thisismyusername]

Got that FFVIII......

and it's got horrible music. Hopefully this gets patched. Wasn't this the same for VII on steam?

Yes. And you can replace it yourself.

[tiesto]

Bought RPG Maker VX Ace and was gifted Super Hexagon by a friend.

[Rahxephon91]

Yes. And you can replace it yourself.

Yeah saw that in the steam forums. I guess there's a way to also replace the FMV with higher qualtiy versions as well.

[archie4208]

Left 4 Dead 2 is free today only.

I'm sure everybody here already owns it but still.

[Beezy]

Left 4 Dead 2 is free today only.

I'm sure everybody here already owns it but still.

I don't. And the store seems to be down.

[fistfulofmetal]

L4D being free has completely fucked Steam

[Eel O'Brian]

lol

Not really higher quality, but they made them bigger and "smoothed" it or something, so yeah...

[benjipwns]

If you can't access the store and stuff try "ipconfig /flushdns" in the start menu run box. (Or equivalent command.) Even fixed the trying to buy something secure part for me.

[Yulwei]

Bought Just Cause 2 for that MP mod.

Was going to get KOF13 Steam Edition, but I realized I really wasn't going to put much time into it. I already have a bunch of other fighting games I am actively playing.

[Human Snorenado]

Heads up: SRIV is on a flash sale, and the Season Pass is 60% off as well. GONNA BUY, BECAUSE SAINT'S ROOOOOOOOOOW.

[Huff]

Haven't bought anything because I don't really have any desire to play anything but spelunky.

SRIV is testing that desire. Would buy if I was drunker

Do it anyway, Yul. It's $10. YOLO and all that?

Plus the online is better than the console versions of probably most whatever you're playing.

[Yulwei]

Ooh they did extend the sale, nice. I thought it was over already.

Yeah I just bit the bullet. Might as well while it's so cheap.

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Noticed the Time Gentlemen, Please/Ben There, Dan That double pack is 44 cents, so I picked it up.

[Positive Touch]

dungeons & dragons arcade is 3$ at green man gaming with the code

i also grabbed guacamelee because its 3something on steam right now

[Trent Dole]

Cook Serve Delicious and Guacamelee were on daily/flash sales so I snagged them along with Bunny Must Die for 11 n change 

[tiesto]

Got the limited edition for 360 (and haven't played) but I'm tempted to buy the Human Revolution director's cut. Deus Ex has always been a series I want to get into, and I own the first as well (everyone tells me to stay faaaaaar away from the second one).

Great game; great price.

dx1 is dated as fuck and people that first play it now dont seem to like it much. dx3 on the other hand is very easy to get into and just as awesome. also the music is fucking amazing.

[Rahxephon91]

Anno 2070. Any opinions? Is this a city game like Sim City?

[Fragamemnon]

Anno 2070. Any opinions? Is this a city game like Sim City?

Anno games are primarily about supply chain management first, and city construction and population management a close second. They play very differently than Sim City but scratch the same itch in the general sense, though if you are looking to play a SimCity game with all of that franchise's expectations Anno will not fit the bill.

They are also gorgeous.

[Great Rumbler]

The closest thing to Sim City, without actually being Sim City, is Cities XL, which is pretty good.

[Rahxephon91]

Yeah I got that thanks to the Humble Bundle.

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to pass on it for now.

Right now I'm lookin at Dark Souls because I haven't played it and if I do it might as well be the PC version. Also DMC, but I might just wait until next sale when it's cheaper.

[Human Snorenado]

I kind of thought about getting DMC, but I don't know when I'd have the time to play it.

I'm pretty good at looking past 'dated' stuff and appreciating games for their time period...

[Positive Touch]

that's good. I just know that I've heard a lot of complaints. really I think the only thing that stands out to me is the trash a.i. and awful accuracy on guns. the interface still holds up decent enough.

[Fragamemnon]

I replayed Deus Ex 1 like a year and a half ago. It holds up well outside the visuals. Super fun game.

Also Invisible War is not a bad game by any stretch. It gets trashed because it's not the landmark game the first game was, and the environments in the game are smaller due to concessions to the console version. Oddly enough Thief 3 has some of the same issues but doesn't get nearly as much hate.

[Great Rumbler]

This is the truth. I played both a few years back and enjoyed them, though the original is clearly superior.

Human Revolution is still the best.

[Rahxephon91]

Saints Row 4 is $20.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

Saints Row 4 is $20.

Yeah, but back in October we banned everyone who hasn't bought it yet.

[fistfulofmetal]

i bought the season pass so i can probably never play either of the dlc.

[Madrun Badrun]

Is farcry 3 delux worth it?

[Joe Molotov]

Is farcry 3 delux worth it?

Nah.

[Rahxephon91]

Is farcry 3 delux worth it?

Nah. The main game is more then enough. Actually maybe a bit too much.

[fistfulofmetal]

don't buy Far Cry 3. Buy Blood Dragon.

[archie4208]

Vote Skulls of the Shogun so I can toss a few bucks towards Sho Nuff. 

[archie4208]

Titan Quest won?   

I wouldn't have even been upset if Volgarr won, but fucking Titan Quest? 

[treythemovie]

Titan Quest won?

Steam users always vote for the worst option. Every time without fail.

[fistfulofmetal]

Today you all have the opportunity to purchase the best game released in 2013, The Swapper, for only 5 dollars!

http://store.steampowered.com/app/231160/

[cool breeze]

I intend to buy it.   Waiting to see if the humble store has it on sale first.

And does anyone know if Brothers needs analog triggers? it's the one game that would make sense to play with the wii u pro controller, but it only has shoulder buttons.

edit: wow, steam is downloading brothers at 7+ MB/S

[Eel O'Brian]

Counting Shadow Warrior, which I bought on a $10 daily deal the day before the sale started, I only spent $37 this time, and feel like I'm done. Steam salad days are over 

[Human Snorenado]

I've spent around $38, but I'll probably spend more. I have over $4 in my Steam wallet chilling from card/snowglobe sales, I imagine that will get spent on something.

[chronovore]

Tried to buy Monaco, but Steam won't take my moneys.  :'(

[Great Rumbler]

Everybody vote for Remember Me so I can get it for $12.50!!

Also, you can get Wizardry 6, 7, and 8 for just $2.24 right now.

[pilonv1]

p. sure Remember Me was $12.50 at GMG the other day and you could use the 20% off coupon too

[Rahxephon91]

Remember me hasn't appeared on sale elsewhere during the steam sale, so I bet if it dosen't win community it will appear in a Flash at least.

[Polari]

Pretty tempted by Euro Truck Sim 2 right now. Is it wrong brehs?

[Great Rumbler]

It's not wrong to be tempted by the allure of the exotic.

[thisismyusername]

Pretty tempted by Euro Truck Sim 2 right now. Is it wrong brehs?

No, go for it. But I think the non-Going East doesn't include mountains. Going East does IIRC. Or that's mods. Either way get mountains to tumble down in.

[huckleberry]

bought the bioshock triple pack for infinite and was going to give 1 and 2 to my son. appparently it doesnt work that way. 

[Smooth Groove]

Is farcry 3 delux worth it?

At least get FC3 unless you really can't stand wonky stories

[benjipwns]

Not part of the Steam sale, but these all activate on Steam.

For $3.74:
Two Worlds Epic Edition
Two Worlds II + Pirates DLC
Septerra Core
Enclave
Gorky 17

[Cerveza mas fina]

First sale in years that I havent bought anything :0

So far that is...

[thisismyusername]

Alan Wake is a good price for the entire collection ($4) but I don't have the money in my Steam wallet nor the cashflow right now. WOE.

Put this back up in the Summer, Remedy.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

The only thing I've bought so far is 2 copies of Guacamelee! for friends

[Smooth Groove]

Anyone played Septerra Core? 

I remember thinking it looked pretty cool but somehow forgot about it until now

[Howard Alan Treesong]

perfect box quote right there

[Great Rumbler]

Septerra Core is basically Westerners looking at Final Fantasy 7 and going "Hey, let's make a game like that!".

[Rahxephon91]

http://files.khinsider.com/vgwallpaper/800x600/2794-septerra-core-004-pcsci.jpg

Yep that screams western FF game. I think I'll pass.

So I guess you shouldn't buy Dark Souls right now because of GFWL? Is the online really that important for Dark Souls?

Anyway I'm at $60 this sale. I got:

Alice Madness Returns
Aliens Colonial Marines
Counter Strike Go
Skyrim
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VIII
Max Payne 3
Outlast
The Secret World
State of Decay
The Walking Dead +DLC
