The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

So, I'm seeing GTA complete pack (GTA3, SA, VC, GTA4 + episodes from liberty city) for E5,99 and GTA trilogy (GTA, SA & VC) for E6,24.
How does that make any fucking sense?

EDIT: Yeah, Max Payne 3 sucks, unless you really hate Brazilians, because you get to kill a lot of them in this game.

 

I think it's called "idiot tax".

 

So you're saying everyone should love Max Payne 3

 

San Andreas, hell yeah.

 

Does L.A Noire bought over steam stilll have additional DRM? Otherwise I'll Grab it

 

The usual, Rockstar Social Club (not sure whether you consider that DRM) and GameShield IronWrap (which definitely is DRM).

 

I remember R* Social club being a MAJOR pain in the ass when I installed GTA IV on my brothers PC. Not sure I want to infest my PC with this shit..

 

It absolutely is. The actual gameplay isn't anything to write home about, but the interrogations are pretty darned cool and fairly Unique.

I wish they'd made it into an adventure game instead of putting in the adventure gamey elements in around a half-assed GTA Lawman clone.

 

I'm not touching this Rockstar social asslicking garbage and winblows shitware

However now I finally have Max Payne 1-2 owned

 

I think, with GTA IV, I could just ignore the Rockstar Social Club. You could just click that shit away in the Steam version. I don't know whether that's also true for L.A. Noire though, as I don't have the Steam version of that game and, in that case, the game wouldn't run without it. However, the Steam version will definitely install R* Social Club, as it says so in the game description.

 

Anyone think Banner Saga is worth it at -33% / 15 eur ?

Tempted between that, Windforge, or Banished.

 

Definetely.

 

.. not.

 

Like many such things it's mostly now just... benign, an annoyance you must tolerate but not fundamentally broken or anything. Just create an account and sign in, you'll only have to deal with it once, ever.

Even Steam apologizes me for CDS

 

I'm pretty sure you can ignore the Rockstar Social shit in all of them if you don't care about online features or multiplayer. I could be wrong though.

Has there been a good sale I missed?

I work every day and I forget to add to my collection.

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

I also just bought a car on finance.
Paying rent.
The price of everything is going up.
The economy is sinking.
If I save a tenth of my salary it's a lot. :'(

 

A tenth is what the church traditionally takes. So I guess it should be good enough for GabeN.


On a more serious note: I don't think there has been a recent sale that will never come up again. And only a masochist wants to know about sales he missed.

 

All of the steam sales are always repeating, same titles almsot every time. You're bound to buy the game you're looking for at a big discount sooner or later. Haven't bought a full price game in years.

 

Lol at Gaben and math to haard



Individually they are 8,72 euros for all 3, but buy it in the pack then its 15. wow

 

It costs more because it takes fewer clicks and less work time to buy. Pricing 101.

 

Heh, same here. This always happens when both the full package and the individual items get the same % discount.

By the way, the Geneforge saga is on sale as well. For some reason, the grid shows them individually even though you get all of them for the listed price.

 

There is also Mars: War Logs with -80% (3€). Already grabbed it.
