    Beat Hazard for me. Nothing else i wanted that can't wait for another sale.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,752 ✭✭✭pablomakaveli


    Picked up Rock of Ages and Bastion today.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 855 ✭✭✭joshrogan


    Bought Bastion today, 66% off only a fiver. Really fun indie RPG with quirky narration to boot.

    Oh man I really want Anomaly but I'm away from home until tomorrow and I can't remember my Steam password to buy it from my phone! Drats!

    I can buy it for ya as a gift if you're desperate for it. You can pay me back by buying me a game of the same value later on in the sale. If nothing crops up that I want, you can send it by PayPal. Only €2.49 sure.

    Cheers for the offer but I was just in my cousins and I saw you can get it from the Mac App store for 2.99 so I'm gonna grab it from that. But thanks anyways.

    No worries :)


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 52,910 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Some good stuff today. Nabbed Terraria for 2.49, also getting Sequence for 0.99, heard great things about this RPG/DDR hybrid :)

    Trying to see how much Prince of Persia forgotten sands is.

    Also why the hell is KOTOR 2 not on steam?


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 52,910 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    4.99 for forgotten sands, SOLD!

    Steam are trolling me. I bought Arkham Asylum yesterday, wrote a review for the achievement and what do I get, 50% off Arkham Asylum. :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,067 ✭✭✭Gunmonkey


    €2.49 for Terraria is criminally cheap.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,924 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth


    did a review and got orange box to gift.... i need shogun 2 :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,752 ✭✭✭pablomakaveli


    Bought Terraria and Sequence.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 9,795 Mod ✭✭✭✭Manach


    My review got me a piece of coal ie more than any other piece of reviewing ever.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,240 ✭✭✭✭Fanny Cradock


    Is Stronghold 1/2 any good? It's available in a pack for €10. I like the idea of building and defending a castle from attack but it gets mixed reviews.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,057 ✭✭✭Krusader


    Solar 2 and Sequence for me


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,661 ✭✭✭✭Helix


    terraria for me

    if anyone has a spare copy of terraria i willing to trade 2 coal


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,644 ✭✭✭✭nesf


    Terraria, Sequence and Patrician IV Gold for me. Patrician is definitely not a game for everybody, it's fun if you really like detailed economic simulators/trading simulators and it's very, well, German in terms of game design.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,855 ✭✭✭Charlie Haughy


    5 coal here to trade for something, a game preferably... PM me if interested.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 30,299 CMod ✭✭✭✭johnny_ultimate


    Want to pick up AaaaAAA (etc...) but seems to be some payment issues on Steam's side.

    I've never been so glad to be a Mac user though - it positively limits your choice when buying games on Steam sales so you don't end up buying every random curiosity :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,133 ✭✭✭Sarn


    but seems to be some payment issues on Steam's side.

    Same happening here. I'd finally caved and the payment system is down.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 81,101 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sephiroth_dude


    I've only gotten batman arkam city and bloodbowl this sale..........I'm soo proud of myself :pac:

    Don't feel alone. I've only bought Monday Night Combat, Psychonauts and Serious Sam HD: Gold Edition.

    Sure as hell hope id do a Doom daily deal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,318 ✭✭✭ionapaul


    The only games that interest me slightly today are the two most recent Prince of Persia ones (played the other three in the past) - are either worth getting?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,906 ✭✭✭✭K.O.Kiki


    F*ck you, Valve.

    I KEEP BUYING GAMES!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,170 ✭✭✭✭ED E


    Same :/


    Promised myself no more steam purchases till late jan at least. Need dosh for a laptop so I can play all of these games on the go again :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,057 ✭✭✭Krusader

    I am really getting away easy on this sale this year:

    Portal 2
    Frozen synapse
    EYE

    Dunno if sale is very weak this year, or I have waaaaay too many games.

    It looks to me that they've been reducing the big names less (understandable since most of them just came out 1-2 months ago.) and giving more indie games the spotlight this year.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 52,910 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Well I've spent a ****load. Have to top up the O2 card today.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,855 ✭✭✭Charlie Haughy


    Considering KOTOR purely for nostalgia reasons....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,115 ✭✭✭Completionist


    Managed to spend €30 of my €50 budget for this sale so far, i don't think im doing that bad:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 720 ✭✭✭MarcusFenix


    Would Blops be worth the 30 bobs??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,770 ✭✭✭danthefan


    Plants vs Zombies and X3:Terran Conflict + Albion Prelude are all I've bought so far.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 52,910 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Would Blops be worth the 30 bobs??

    Bit less than that I'd pay for it. I'd buy it if it had a lower price than 'the steam off my piss'.

    You can buy it cheaper on disc.
    I wouldn't buy any call of duty game after 2 from steam, activision like their money too much to give you a good deal on digital distribution.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,845 ✭✭✭Jet Black


    Is section 8 any good? Kinda looks like halo..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,684 ✭✭✭Nollog


    I asked about section 8 back last time it was on offer, was told it had poopy single player and nobody playing online.

    Dead space 2 has my interest piqued, but I probably wouldn't play it for a few years,by which time it will be cheaper. :-\


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,852 ✭✭✭✭Skerries


    thats exactly what i'm thinking Nollaig as I still haven't played the first Dead Space or Section 8 that are sitting in the still to play pile :s


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,242 ✭✭✭Moon54


    Some good cheap games today....

    Assassin's Creed - €5
    Dead Space - €3.74
    Tomb Raider Legend/Anniversary - €2.50 each

    I've only spent something like €12 on the sale so far, well down on last year,
    so I'll probably get Assassin's Creed & Dead Space, they were good fun to play before.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,170 ✭✭✭✭ED E


    Too busy to download TF2, surprised I am not.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,999 ✭✭✭Nerdkiller1991


    Sigh. Why did I buy the Serious Sam HD Gold Edition yesterday when it was going to be a daily deal, today? Sometimes, I hate Steam's daily deals for this reason.

    Dead Space 2 deserves full price and it demands to be played NOW!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9 KillianS


    I just buy the newest games from intkeys.com (although I have had problems with codes) but steam sale is great for those classic games. Already got

    Hearts Of Iron 3 Complete
    Red Faction 1
    Stalker SOC and COP
    Napoleon Total War
    Shogun (Gifted from a friend)

    Anyway anyone who has bought "The Ship" gets two extra copies free and once gifted the person who receives gets two copies and so on. Anyone bought it?

    Steam = Trollface
