The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread - WINTER SALE 2024

[Jaesun]

Is DeathSpank so shitty that it doesn't even warrant consideration?

IIRC Gilbert up and left the company after it was finished. What do you think?

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

The thing with ME is that I can't see it not being on sale again for at least the 50% off it is now so might as well wait it out. ME was $5 once so I'm sure there might be a bundle for $15 eventually as we get closer to ME3. I don't think the DLC will ever be on Steam since Bioware has it's own digital storefront -- maybe it is on sale now via that platform?

I don't imagine the DLC will be on Steam, but if they release a GotY or ultimate edition or whatever it might be included. I think that's how the Dragon Age bundle handles it anyway, I think it's rolled in with the installation as opposed to registering the key to Bioware and then downloading all the DLC.

It's good for what it is, but I waited 2+ years only to find out it was a console exclusive for the first several months... I can wait it out even longer for a $10 bundle of both games. It only has about 8-10 hours of game play.

Fuck I hate my country of retards with no classification above MA15+

Australian censorship

On July 20, 2009, Risen was refused classification[12] in Australia by the OFLC. According to the game's Australian distributor, Madman Interactive, the OFLC cited[13] "sexual activity and drug use related to incentives or rewards" as the reason for the refusal.

Ass backwards fucktards, 98% in a poll said they would like R18, the gubment said those 2% and the ones who did not vote in the poll were a 'silent majority'

Whats a convict to do......

Wha..
I think I got brain cancer reading that.

Most of the deals have been pretty meh. It's like they blew their wad on meatboy, and now everything is just sort of reasonably priced.

 

[kazgar]

Doc Clock looks interesting, anyone played it?

Just got gifted a few things as a christmas present, (super meat boy, and yet it moves, winterbottom, braid)

 

[Metro]

Haven't played it but it was part of a $5 indie pack I bought during the Black Friday sale, so... chances are it'll eventually be part of another pack again.

 

[Gragt]

Super Meat Boy ate my soul.

 

[Elwro]

Patrician III, Darkstar One and some game about art for 2.49! Fuck yeah!

http://store.steampowered.com/app/33570/

...meh. Well, I wanted to buy Patr. III and it's cheaper there than on Gog.

I paid the full price for the original Blood Bowl and I'm not sure I want to spend 20 Euros on the new patch.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Ended up only buying Darksiders today. Talked myself out of ME2 since I'm hoping for a $5-10 GotY edition next year, BBLE since fuck those guys and their DRM and rabble rabble rabble, and Operation Flashpoint since even though it was $3 I doubt I'd ever really want to play it.

I think I'll pick up that Patrician and Darkstar One bundle eventually though. Read a few things saying Patrician 3 was better than 4, and at $2.50 and with Darkstar One thrown in what the hell.

Just splurged on the Paradox Complete Pack. Already had Warband but now I can look forward to some intense turnbased action.

Is there even one game in that pack which is turn based?

Eh, I'm just jealous :D

edit: there's no Divine Wind in that pack?

edit: OK, Rise of Prussia is there, and it's TB.

 

[reaven]

how about King Arthur complete pack for 5 €, Im thinking on getting that one...

 

[Metro]

Wow, probably nothing for me again today for the third day in a row. They're really cutting back on their discounts for mainstay tittles. Borderlands stuff was 75% off during the Summer Sale. Might have picked Claptrap up for $3, but not for $5 -- honestly don't think the Borderlands DLC is worth very much. Almost half of today's stuff is military shooters which don't interest me.

It's a great price on the King Arthur pack but I'm not so sure the game play is for me... sort of looks like an RTS from some screen shots.

 

[Gragt]

Hm, Overlord pack looks nice. Heard the game were ok but not very deep. I guess that at that price it's ok to take the risk.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Picked up claptrap DLC at this price. Since I bought the rest of the game so cheap and have played it so much, $5 will do for me.

 

[Gragt]

No one commented on the New Vegas deal though?

$30 is a must-buy. I paid full price and would do so again, so 40% off is a great deal.

 

[Gragt]

I was waiting for a deal like this to get it but I received it as a gift a couple of months ago.

I'd rather wait a year or so until GOTY edition is out -- Steam hasn't sold any of the FO3 DLC at a significant discount.

Regarding Overlord, you really can't go wrong for $3. The game play isn't that deep but it's good comedic/mindless fun with some puzzle elements. The Raising Hell expansion really doesn't add that much -- new areas for each of the 'bosses' in the first game but you can pass on it. Additionally, I only played Overlord 2 for around 3 hours before I put it aside and haven't gotten back to it. I actually think it looks a bit worse than the first one. If you're in doubt I'd just get Overlord for $0.75 -- the games will be on sale again, eventually, and you can just pick up Overlord 2 then and not worry about the expansion.

 

[Angthoron]

Saints Row 2 is sold cheaply as well, nice, I had a blast with it even with its lousy optimization. The game is just hilarious.

 

[Garm]

Alright Steam, enough fucking around. Put Victoria 2 on sale tomorrow.

 

[Mangoose]

BF + Arthur for me today. Gave in on BBLE yesterday too. Blah.

 

[Metro]

Going to give the stuff a pass again today. Not a fan of modern RTS so that rules out Arthur -- might have tried the demo if I didn't feel like downloading a 2 gig file.
