Well that I don't have atm. I'll leave it til the next sale so. Probably wouldn't have played it in the time in between anyway.

it was the most bizarre game I've ever played and I'm not even sure if I was having fun when I played it. I'm not even sure I can describe it. Maybe I can with an image.

That's as well as I can describe my experience.

Retr0gamer

Picked up Dreamfall. Hope there's nothing else decent until tomorrow when I get paid because I'm broke!

johnny_ultimate

Ah Dreamfall, one of those games where wrestling with the gameplay does pay narrative dividends for the committed.

chrislad

WHERE ARE MY NEW DEALS?!

#crack #addicted



And there we go. I want to know what's not available in my region! Witcher 2 is good but I think it's still cheaper on GOG for the moment and it comes with the first one too.

Dr Bob

ah ffs , only 8 offers and one "not available"..balls to that
(actually looking at the steam forums its not showing up for other countries so it may just be a glitch)

YouSavedMyLife

Krater looks interesting, anyone played it?
Witcher 2 is also up with 60% off. I think this is the best we are gonna get

Nothing else of interest today for me.

"We're sorry, game not available in your region" game on the bottom right of the grid. What is the hidden game??

ShadowHearth

The hidden game is an Indie Bundle with Demolition Inc., HOARD, SOL: Exodus, Swords and Soldiers, Wings of Prey. Keep refreshing and it will show up.

Anyway. Lads. Krater. Any good? Youtubed a lets play but i need more convincing!

Lots of Irish voice acting in Dreamfall. It was weird to have real Irish accents, rather than Oirish ones.

MitchKoobski

So who wants to buy me The Witcher 2?

Considering one of the things they ask you on the phone when you're on to the bank/cc is you last transactions it may not be safe to post that.

Or you could add a few more transactions, that way you money is safe (with valve).

DeSelby83

the left 4 dead franchise is on sale too. is left 4 dead 2 worth getting? is there still much of a community playing it online? also is there and mods etc to extent the life of it much? thanks

Dcully

Id buy fallout new vegas but Fallout 3 is the only game in my massive collection that crashes on me.

norrie rugger

A mod to allow the game to be a seamless single player game would be awesome, rather than just chapters. Can not understand, for the life of me, why they would not just put the single player mode in correctly

Oh good, I'm not the only one. I just moved to Manchester. Multiple train journeys and Steam have left me in a similar position.

There is a decent number still playing, and if you tend to play late at night, then just change your download location/region to US locations to play with/against americans, who will be on at that time

MitchKoobski

I'll definitely be playing more Left for Dead 2 anyway

Holy crap I didn't expect it to be this much fun with people

Zapp Brannigan

Just to let people now GOG are doing a sale on The Witcher 2. You get it for $16.98 and it includes the original one as well. It's also completely DRM free and you get to support the awesome GOG!

Magill

Probably just me, but i actually prefer buying things on steam vs a DRM free version . Weird.

SeantheMan

I was annoyed that Batman : AC needed Games for Windows ( I had AA but had forgotten it was required)

I also prefer to buy via STEAM and have everything there immediately

Zapp Brannigan

I just add it into Steam manually, no biggie. I just picked it up there and my machine won't even run it. Buying for the future

Harps

Anyone know if its possible to get Amnesia working well on an Intel Integrated card? Tried the demo a while back and there's no image, just sound when I start it, I read about some problem with Intel cards but never bothered trying to get it working. Tempting at €3.74

Already bought 5 games today but Fallout NV is tempting me now as well :rolleyes:

Turtwig

Very tempted by the original Longest Journey. I liked Broken Sword should I expect to like this? ?


Total War Megapack still tempting me. Also, what is Nexuiz?

Monotype

I haven't played the new Nexuiz but it's based on a free game which I have played. Kind of like UT or quake style play.

The original Longest Journey is great!

johnny_ultimate

Just be prepared for a few logical roadblocks in The Longest Journey, as is tradition with point and click games. I actually never got to the end as there was a bit involving cliffs that just pissed me off too much Was good up to then.

Dreamfall is good though, barring the generally ****e gameplay.

Big Knox

Dammit, said I wouldn't buy anything else then The Witcher 2 enhanced shows up. Hmmmmz!

Yes.

I haven't played either, but Alan Wake is more "hey this is a horror game!", while L.A. Noire is more of a "hey I have faces and i am a detective hey look it's the 50's and i'm gta in reverse."

Both good games.
Some people say la noire is boring, due to it be an investigation game where you solve mysteries by going through conversations with witnesses etc.
It's not all guns and car chases in law enforcement.

Alan Wake isn't made by rockstar.

I'd blame the motor tax.

Hmmm nothing really that I want today. I do not want the Alan Wake games, I do not want the Alan Wake games, I do not want the Alan Wake games....

.... Fine I'll buy the STALKER games you were forcing me to buy yesterday.
Why'd I join this board again?

Burning Eclipse

Today I am mostly tempted by:

Total War Pack
Stalker Pack
The Longest Journey

Thoughts? Also, is Steam down for anyone else right now (20:00)?

omerin

nope, working fine. Got wings of prey @ under €4

The Total War pack could provide you hundreds and hundreds of hours of gameplay. For €12.50 it's an unbelievable deal. I'd buy it if I didn't own all the games already.

Can't comment on the other two, sorry.

super_furry

Caved on the Tribes starter pack, can't go too wrong for less than a fiver.

Base game is free, unless you're certain I wouldn't.

Aaaaand the spending continues. I didn't buy the whole Total War pack, just Rome (and Alexander) for €3.73. The value in this sale is amazing!! Also got The Longest Journey (I own Dreamfall already), and Stalker too. Thinking I should avoid the PC on Sunday.

That said, I still haven't broken €40, and I've about 17 new games to show for it!

I love you Steam Summer Sale

Yep just a temporary bug, wonder will they have an iteration of the bug with it for 100% off?
