    Agree with Cherry, Darksiders is a fun game. Personally I've just picked up CamerBag 2 in the flash sale; the photo edit options it has for 4 EUR was a steal!

    Bought the Darksiders pack on Steam, and Devil May Cry 4 (€2.37) on GreenManGaming. Might pick up one or two more over the sale.

    While you're here could I also get wednesdays lottery numbers?

    Whether it happens now or easter time I'll be waiting for a 75% on Dishonoured and 50% on Dark Souls... I wanna know what all the fuss is about :)

    It's not going to happen in this sale, that is certain. I'm sure it will at some point in time.

    Gonna pick up Far Cry 3 if it reaches 50% off myself.

    I know it's early days yet in the sale, but does anyone else feel that it hasn't been too great so far?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 775 ✭✭✭simon360


    I think Steam want more people to buy Indie, most of the flash bargains were indie games.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,574 ✭✭✭ahnowbrowncow


    I go to play shogun 2, update of 12.2GB needed, wtf? Go to my steam folder and shogun2 only is 10GB when I'm pretty sure it was over 20GB the last time I checked :confused:

    There goes my download allowance this month :(

    Definitely. Mostly buying dlc and stuff for @3. Bought the darksiders pack to try it out. It may be because I own the good stuff already though.

    At least you get to, it's not available in my region (I own the game, but can't buy any of the DLC). Same goes for NiGHTS and Jet Set, gutted.

    For people who have not had a STEAM sale before, or don't own many games I reckon it is a good sale. My problem is; I already own most of the stuff on sale, and the other games I have no interest in :P

    Just waiting on Assassin's Creed 3 to hit 50% off :D


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


    It hasn't been a great sale for me because I own most of the good stuff already. If I was relatively new to PC gaming and saw that THQ pack on sale for example I'd think it was the best thing ever.

    What's the best way to get onto steam, a game I wanted is listed at the 75% the wrong price and when you go to add it it's still at the original correct price.

    Shown as 75% off €14.99 making it €3.74 but the correct price was €6,99 and it's still at €6.99 on the game page.


  • Site Banned Posts: 5,676 ✭✭✭jayteecork


    I'm just waiting for hotline Miami and retro city rampage to get around.75% off.

    What game?

    Best way? Just make an account, buy the game.

    You'll need the steam client to download it.

    Sorry I meant getting on to them for help on the price rather than onto steam.

    i think he meant to contact steam about the pricing mistake

    Oops. Sorry. :o

    Out of curiosity though, what game was it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,546 ✭✭✭✭Varik

    Warhammer® 40,000: Dawn Of War® – Winter Assault

    It's still 6.99 when like the rest of the dawn of war stuff should be 75% off

    The community page and the dawn of war franchise pack list it as 75% off but the price is for the gold edition.

    Gotcha.

    That reminds me, I got that in the Summer Sale, and haven't looked at it yet.

    Does minecraft ever go on sale from minecraft.net? 27 buckaroos is a little steep far as I'm concerned :)
