:eek: I just looked there, 5 digits with no sales. Skerries have you mined all the cards for those 3000 games?? If not, i'd recommend idlemaster. Could be hundreds worth of euro in steam cards.

+1 I have probably gotten about 150 euro from my measly 850 or so games :P

I have found cards aren't worth as much as they were last year though with many games cards worth about 3c now. I would average cards at 5-6c now compared to 10c last year at least. Also foil cards are selling for like 15c, at least the ones I have gotten this year compared to a few euro last year.

I got some bundle last week for €2.50, 10 games, all steam. I used idlemaster on them and got a foil card for some Doctor Who game. According to steam only one of those cards had been sold in the previous day for €1.25.

I held on to it but I just checked again to see what its starting at now and its gone up to €4.06.

I know I wouldn't get that much but even if I got a euro id be delighted and along with selling all the other cards, I should make a little profit. How bad..

Nice find

Yeah, it;s nice to get the free few euro. I usually treat myself to some items in f2p games with my card money like some heroes in marvel heroes.

Skerries

just checked and I have mined €165.37 from cards with 1900 left to go

my collection is worth according to this €25587

Taytothief from boards has 4,868 games :eek:

Call me cynical, but open source or no that app is not getting access to my account

Boom! Nearly bought Black Flag the other day because people keep telling me that it's actually good (I avoid Ubisoft like the plague). Decided not to because I'm trying to clear the backlog - but it's in this sale or only €6.80!

Backlog extended.

I literally bought it off a key site about one hour earlier, so I lost out on about 40c.

:pac:

Nothing impressive in that Humble Capcom Bundle tbh.

Devil May Cry and Street Fighter IV look worth $15 if you havent got them. Everything else being a bonus.

Each to there own though i suppose

chrislad

I have Street Fighter and DMC already, but I'll still get it for Lost Planet 3 (first one was a guilty pleasure), and the Resident Evil games as I only have 4 at the moment. I suspect RE6 will be added next week, as well as the 3D Bionic Commando.

I've had my eyes on DmC for ages, so that alone made it worth it for me. The Resident Evils are a big ass bonus.

Lost Planet 3, worth keeping or should I try to trade it for something?

It has decent graphics, a generic run and gun third person though. Not sure youd get anything of worth trading it. Id just keep it and try it out

So Deus Ex Revision has been released. That could be the weekend sorted.

That's already a free game though, just go to the Steam page and click play now.

I'm on the fence. Not sure whether or not to get it, but it's hard to ignore at that price.

I've only ever played AC games on console.

I don't have a controller for PC. I prefer using Keyboard & Mouse. My question is... am I wasting my time playing Black Flag without a controller?

I would say you're wasting your time with any 3rd person game and a keyboard/mouse. Some people will disagree, and they're entitled to do so, but personally, I can't play any 3rd person game without a controller. I'm sure you could play with a kb/m combo, and get used it it, but if you're used to the controls on console, why bother getting used? A wired Xbox controller isn't that expensive and will work with nearly everything.

Links234

I played quite a few games with KB&M, Tomb Raider, Batman: Arkham City, LA Noire.

Personally, I much prefer a controller these days, find it a lot more comfortable, but it's perfectly fine to do it with keyboard & mouse if you want. I definitely recommended grabbing a wired Xbox controller like Chrislad says, they can be had quite cheap in Argos.

I didn't mind playing Arkham Asylum with keyboard/mouse but gave up playing Assassin's Creed with them .
Bought a wireless Xbox controller , one of the best purchases I've ever made

Really enjoyed playing Assassin's Creed after buying it , and now play most games using it on the TV .

mahoganygas

Cheers lads.

Controller it is!

Links234

Good stuff

I had put off buying a controller for ages, because I thought, what's the point just for 1 or 2 games? Used my girlfriends one for a while, and then got my own one, now I use it for way more games than I thought I would.

Thargor

Im waiting for the final opinions on the Steam controller and if its bad Ill go with a black 360 one.

So you think it's too soon for REmake HD to be included in the bundle? I'd say could be Remember Me in an attempt not to make it to RE-centric

I think RE4 is likely, but Remember Me is probably a good bet too.

Skerries

RE4 would be nice but more likely RE6
