God dammit steam, everytime I go "no more", I see something else I want and its too cheap to resist!

Bloodwing

When is this bloody sale over. My CC can't take anymore of this!!



So far I've only play Tropico and Batman. I'll never make it through all these before the Christmas sale!!

norrie rugger

And now Deus Ex

TPD

****ing hell, driver San Francisco is a pain in the balls to get running. ****ty ubisoft drm causes it to lag when it eventually does run too, apparently. Trying to run it on a superadmin user level on win7 64bit now, and steam has decided to update it some more.

Dunno if thats the remakes or new ones, remakes are brilliant.

Haven't bought anything in this sale, pretty disappointed with it tbh. Might buy the gta pack if it comes up again just see if my computer can handle the ice enhancer mod.

Was hoping for 75% off on a few games, anno 2070, TDU 2, Gemini Rue, Ticket to Ride, M&M clash of heroes, just hasn't happened.

Splinter Cell for 3.74 is a bargain though, already finished it on 360.

Aye it's the new Telltale ones. Like Dreamer said though the remakes are fantastic.

Only bought one game myself, but for me it's because I already own most of the items being priced attractively from previous Steam sales! Apart from ArmA II, I didn't have many "targets" that I realistically expected to be reduced significantly.

titan18

Have only bought Arkham City, Saints Row 3, Sins of a Solar Empire:Trinity and Space Marine. Not been a great sale tbh, some games coming up 2 to 3 times in it was kinda fail tbh.

Turtwig

And there, at last, is Burnout. Was wondering when that was going to show up. But look at the others with it!! NFS:HP, NFS : UC and NFS : Shift all 75% off. That's fricking class.:D

nesf

Risen picked up. Can't resist RPGs at that price really.

By my reckoning all the flash sales and community choice deals are, is just daily deal items that will appear for a much shorter duration. In others words, anything that is a community or flash sale is basically going to be a daily deal at some point, or already has been one.

Burnout Ultimate Box; €2.99 until 06:00 GMT
NFS:HP; €4.99 until 06:00 GMT

So basically the same price for the next five hours.

Splinter Cell Chaos Theory for €2.49, always been meaning to play it so I'll gladly take that

I'm actually playing this at the moment, had it sitting in my pile of boxed games for years and have finally gotten around to playing it
decent game and enjoying it, It has that quandary like when you are playing Hitman whether to go out guns blazing or stealth the mission

had to use a crack for it as Ubisoft dont support it for win 7 :rolleyes:

Doesn't work too well with Vista either. (Maybe the steam version does?) Starforce protection would drive you up the wall. Fantastic game. So many ways to do the levels, depending on your mood you could be a pacifist, mass assassin, or a walking tranquillizer.

I tip my hat to you sir.

Atleast I would, if I wasn't afraid you would see it and immediately want to buy it from me

Anyone

Civ 5 and Vampire Masquerades bought €7.49 and €4.99

RedXIV

Oblivion with all DLC for 6 quid. Sold!

J-blk

And today is the day I hit my first Steam Sale newb fail - bought Bulletstorm early on in the sale at 9.99... That'll teach me to obey the golden rule of never buying anything unless it's in a daily/community sale or it's the last day...

Last week my Steam account had about 15 games in it... It's now up to 145 (I do have a LOT of catching up to do being PC-less for several years).

pablomakaveli

I've lost count of how many games i've bought this sale. Doesnt help that i've a credit card this time round either. Don't know how much more of a raping my wallet can take. At least im getting paid next week.

Mraddgamer

I would love to have a epic gaming pc so i could buy all these games

chrismon

Bought Fallout 3 ultimate edition for €5last night.

Nollog

bulletstorm... not sure if want.
I'll hold out for christmas I think.

Well worth the €5, one of the most fun FPS games in years.

It's not that I don't want it and don't think it's worth a fiver, it's that I wouldn't get around to playing it for at least 6 months.

Damage so far


Alan Wake scared the sh*te out of me at 2am this morning

quarryman

Anywhere I can find the list of games that have been on sale every day up until today?

I think there's a pretty complete list here

Alan wake has its moments, but later on with so little difference in enemies it becomes very predictable and not scary at all.

Ah bugger, I was hoping for a fright fest.

Does anybody have any idea how strict Eircom are on their download fair usage policy? It appears I've used up my "unlimited" download allowance!!

I think that most companies are ok, as long as it is not a continuous thing

Ah I'll just treat it like the credit card and keep using what isn't there.!!

So I bought Borderlands GOTY but it only shows as Borderlands in my library. The download is 12GB so I'm fairly sure that the DLC is there but was just wondering if anyone else is the same.

Right click the game in the library and select "View Downloadable Content" - though when I do this on a Mac, not all games show the purchased DLC (but they do on Windows).

Opinicus

Nice one J-blk, it's all there. Thanks.

Manach

My excuse is I'm doing solely to get the steam sale badges.

Cherry_Cola

So I just got Red Orchestra 2 and there's a download for the main game and also a 5GB download for the beta, surely I don't have to get the beta?

Au contraire. Play it on hard (it's too easy on normal).

Then tell me it's not scary when you have half a clip, you're surrounded on 4 sides, and there is no safe haven in sight.

Give me tension and suspense over artificial jump scares any day.

Cheers. I've played "Crysis" (well tried too - there's a glitch that stops me in the final battle) and I've still "Warhead" outstanding so I'll leave it and get Driver:SF instead.

If the glitch is a big lag on graphics, set Crysis to launch in a lower direct x version. That happened to me at the time and I was able to complete it.
