It really is.

It actually starts out with a fairly promising storyline, then it devolves into something i could barely even play because the writing was so awful, i actually didnt understand the end at all.

good for one playthrough, barely and only barely if you enjoy the lore behind XCOM.

The Valve complete pack is a good shout for anyone that never played Half life and it's expansions, or Half life 2, to be honest, if you havn't got this in your steam library, make it happen immediately.

I have Half life, and all the expansions and stuff in the old big box style PC games of old. Might pick this up to have them in my library.

I have fond memories of opposing force and blue shift

Is there a way to see the games in my library, when I don't have the client installed. I'm in work RDPing to my laptop where client aint installed, and netiehr the website nor the mobile app readily show my library, which is annoying. Sneaky feeling I might have this valve pack already

**Found it on website, its in account details

I can see my library from my mobile(and even install games)... You could install it on the laptop..

If you can log in on the website, there should be a link to your games under your username.

Alternatively go to ht tp://steamcommunity.com/id/"your username"/games?tab=all

I found the turns seem to take ages when I tried to replay. I wanted to go through the development again but doing the same missions and spending half the time creeping accross he map gets old.
I would like a mod to auto resolve the combat for replays.

TheDoc

Thanks lads have it now, and turns out have the valve pack already

Also noticed the amount of double copies of games I have from buying stuff I already had.

Pity I cant trade once on my account, have duplicate copies of the GTA franchise among others

Balls, bought this (and the other XCOM game for €6.70 or something) about an hour ago, never played an XCOM before. Presume the main game is good at least, people here seemed to go crazy for it.

Also got Far Cry 3 (basic game) and Far Cry Blood Dragon, both look great.

if you type the codes from the old boxed versions it usually gives you most of the valve pack

XCOM: Enemy Unknown(& also it's big DLC counterpart Enemy Within) is a fantastic game. The Bureau however is just awful tbh!

Honestly it's a great game even if you think it would not be; and at that price what do you really have to lose?

Monotype

Hey, I voted 3 times and they said I got a free card but one didn't appear. Give me my card you bastards!

MitchKoobski

I just tried out the demo for Euro Truck Simulator 2. Why is it so relaxing!?

horgan_p

Is there any site that tells you the lowest price a game has ever been on steam ?
I ask because 2 games I'm watching - Civ 5 complete and Skyrim legendary ed. are reduced by 40% to around €20 a piece.
I only want the complete packs for the DLC.

If not then I'll buy them on the last day of the sale.

The Enhanced Steam browser plugin will tell you the cheapest price of a game currently and ever, but it covers more sellers than Steam.

Very handy site for the discerning bargain hunter.

+1 for the Enhanced Steam browser plug-in. Incredibly useful!

Skyrim legendary steam key has been as low as £10 recently on gamefly. I'd wait it out for better discount

I did this for the Half Life Generations. Said it was already used so I just had to buy them again. I sent a mail to cutomer support beforehand and they said I needed proof of purchase. think I bought it back around 2002 so receipt was long gone.

iamanengine

Dammit, in work so had The Cave, Monaco and Super Meat Boy already to get before the time runs out but just realised it doesn't have my payment details saved and I don't have my card, nooooooo

Mickeroo

Grabbed Monaco there. Put a tenner in the wallet, I swear that's all I'm spending.

Same thing happened with mine, tried to explain that I had bought the game the day it came out and as such didn't have proof of purchase over 10 years later

I think they will accept pictures of the box clearly showing the key. But if it has already been used that means you probably have an old account with the games on it.

I'm new to Steam so I have like 6 games at the moment so I hopefully won't slip into buying a tonne of games for the sales but never playing them just yet :P

I sent a scan of the box, as requested in list of items to send. I only ever had one steam account. I'd say more than likely, the serial was reused when going so long unused. Was only last year I tried adding them to my library

Also I just clicked join team and got put on Purple Team hehe

Where do you Join a Team? I'v been in work so haven't had a proper chance to have a look.

Click on the map/board game thingy just above the community choices and you should see an option in there.

I stumbled across it but what Mickeroo said :P

Yeti Beast

Sold a Purple Team token for a tenner. Think I made the right choice given the odds of actually winning any games.

Links234

I've had XCom for a while, was hoping to pick up some of the DLC, but it costs more than the main game :eek:

How do you get the tokens?

They occasionally spawn when you craft a summer badge. It said it was a common item, but jaysus, they're going for stupid money!

Have you crafted the badge already?

This; I was really hoping the With in would drop to below 5 EUR at least but Christmas sale I guess.

Yeah, traded a couple of TF2 items that I'll never use for a few of the summer cards, and got lucky with the token it seems.

They're randomly dropped when you craft a summer sale badge.

ShadowHearth

I crafted a badge and did not got a token

ShadowHearth

Hmmm I did got a summer adventure bag for TF2. It says its rare and goes for 8eu... Whats in it? Is it worth selling for 8eu as I dont play TF2 at all.
