The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

[Turjan]

The message that comes after I buy a game asks me whether I want to install the Steam client, so I guess you can buy without it. My normal browser also shows a Steam login.

Edit: What MHC says .

 

[TripJack]

i don't think that grim monk likes steam very much

 

[Metro]

I'm going to his house and install 'Steam Client' on all of his computers.

Good news, Max Payne 3 is a flash deal so you can buy it and become a True Gamer™ like Morgoth says.

 

[TripJack]

oh goodie i missed it the first 3 times

 

[MetalCraze]

Gal Civ 2 Ultimate for 5 bucks, finally it's mine. Oh and a pre fuck you Jack before you say it's shit (cause it's not).

Jack joined CAG on Steam. Guess he finally decided to become one with his XBox360 owning self.

 

[TripJack]

yeah bro cag is for xbox deelz only no pctards allowed stay out plz

 

[Metro]

It's pretty enjoyable if you like base building sim type of games. I actually got it for $1.50 back in the day when Steam had really steep discounts. $6.70 isn't that great a price for it. Can probably get it cheaper during a GOG sale.

Think I'll grab Botanicula now. Was mildly interested before, but the Humble Bundle for it was $5 minimum. Kinda doubt it'll be in another indie bundle (Though it's possible I guess) but for $2.50 what the hell.
"For $X what the hell" is what got me in trouble during this sale.

As for vote games, here's what a bro said in his recommendation of Last Remnant:

lmao there's a town called dillmoor and the king tells you to go there. also a spell call mystic missile.
here is exmpale of this games wicked dialogue:
who teh hell are u people??
we dont have to introdcute ourselves to the likes of you!!!
get ready...... im gonna smash your faces in!!

4:24 PM - i want to die: come on! let's kick some a!
4:25 PM - waz: is that a real line
4:25 PM - i want to die: every battle
4:25 PM - waz: jesus

this game is mostly menus and watching your characters do the selected actions with the occasional quicktime events.



also i found a monster. i can sell it. perhaps it is a pokemon


basically buy this game if you are cool + like cool games

So that sounds good.

I picked SC:C because fucktards deserve to waste their money.

There actually was a fucktard here on the Codex defending that very highway mission...

 

[Infinitron]

I SLEPT TOO LONG!!!

 

[Metro]

I guarantee you Botanicula will eventually make its way into another Humble Bundle (of course I have no real interest in playing it and as pretty as Amanita's games are too look at I've always gotten bored and never finished one). Demigod isn't even worth $2.50. It's basically just a poorly done rip-off of DOTA -- might as well wait until DOTA 2 is 'released' (or just play it now if you have access to the massive semi-closed beta).

So I bought Rome TW, BG&E and Cricket Revolution in my drunken state last night. Not too bad. Fucking happy Skyrim wasn't on sale.

 

[Infinitron]

I wonder what are the chances of GalCiv II coming back as a daily...

 

[commie]

Hope so. I have it already of course but on TurdStop back when it was impulse. Would prefer a simpler Steam version. Skyway had better buy a few copies for his bros next time though.

I voted for Risen in the next round. I still don't have it, but I already have Divinity II and the Two Worlds games. There's probably not much chance for Risen to win, though.

 

[kingcomrade]

I actually think Evil Genius was a pretty terrible game, but I played it a really long time ago.

BG&E is one of my favorite games. Hipsters say it was overrated just because so many people like it. They think praise is cumulative, like if a lot of people think it's a 4/5 then you add them up and people think it's 12351356/5 and therefore overrated

I got all the New Vegas DLCs for 10 bucks total I think. Now I have to wait for 10GB to download...

 

[IDtenT]

CKII on flash sale. Get it now bros.

 

[Infinitron]

All Splinter Cells 4 cheep (not just the new one).

 

[TripJack]

Unless I am having a case of the dumb-dumbs, then if you don't mind watching an advertisement every time you boot it up, you can get Risen free at GamersGate:

I haven't really used the free games thing yet though, so I am not sure if its available to anyone with an account or if you need to be special.

 

[MetalCraze]

Civ5 is on a daily sale.

AGAIN.

This sale is so unbelievably shitty.

 

[insukk]

Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet - Is it worth 3 $?
And second question: Crysis I or Far Cry I?
