The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

Yep. When it gets to a better discount the thing to buy is the complete pack: DS1, DS2, DS3 and DS3 expansion. Apparently it doesn't include the DS1 and DS2 expansions but I don't think you can get them from any other digital download service.

New daily deal is Borderplands for 75% off ($5) -- can't imagine anyone who wanted to buy this doesn't have it by now.

Indeed.

 

[Jaesun]

I found it a fucking shit game. Not even worth it if it was free.

 

[hoopy]

More like Boringlands.

 

[Humanity has risen!]

Super boring game, I regret having paid money for it. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

 

[mck]

Borederlands is one of the most mind-numbing games I have ever played. Everything about it puts me to sleep.

 

[Captain Shrek]

Shit game.

 

[Bruticis]

So, is Borderlands any good?

 

[Captain Shrek]

Shit game.

 

[Excidium]

It's a bit boring yeah. You go from map to map, doing kill 10 rats and collect 10 apples type of quests, and loot whoring guns.

I hear it's fun on co-op, but anything is fun on co-op.

 

[Bruticis]

Yeah, I was just being a smart ass. I played it when it came out. I didn't hate it but it was nothing I'd consider ever playing again.

 

[Mangoose]

Oh and you can play online with a pirated version.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

I played through it and the DLC approximately 4 times. Playthrough 1 and 2 solo, and 1 and 2 co-op. It was flawed as fuck but I eventually got in to it. Possibly my favorite Diablo-like in a while, for some odd reason. Played it even more than Torchlight.

 

[Excidium]

Played it even more than Torchlight.

Hey, talking about it. When is Torchlight 2 coming out? They have delayed it like three times already.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Got pushed back in to 2012. Sounds like they theoretically could've released it sooner, but decided to wait until after the crush of winter games and Steam Christmas sale so it wouldn't get lost in the swarm.

 

[Excidium]

:/

Was hoping to get it on the christmas sale.

 

[CrazyLoon]

Oh and you can play online with a pirated version.

Oh really? Time to go to work.

 

[Excidium]

Yes, you just need a gamespy account.

 

[CrazyLoon]

Does that mean I have to infest my computer with Gamespy Arcade?

 

[Excidium]

No, just need to input account name and password in the game.

 

[CrazyLoon]

Alright. So I actually get to play the game after all.

 

[Metro]

New daily is Dungeon Derpfenders for $3.75. The core mechanics and concept are good but the developers have utterly fucked it up and it's becoming a grindfest complete with pay-to-win DLC.

 

[hoopy]

I lost interest in DD when it turned out it has retailer exclusive content. It might have even had pre-order exclusive content, but I can't remember for sure.

 

[Gragt]

Same here. I was interested but the reports from users and the DLC turn me off. On the other hand, I'm having tons of fun with Orcs Must Die! when it comes to "action tower defense". That one also has DLC but the devs announced that they won't make more, and while one adds some slightly overpowered traps and equipment, the other adds more levels.
