*** OFFICIAL Steam Games Deals Thread ***

machinarium never hit the daily deals for christmas but I eventually bought it.

it's a good point and click adventure game. Not all that long though.

 

what are the chances of the Square Enix pack going down further? at the moment its at £67.49 and i am interested in : Scom 2, JC2 (and DLC), Hitman series, Deus Ex series and Batman - think that they are worth it? of course the pack has other games in it such as the Midway and Tomb Raider series but those above are the ones that i am most interested in - already spent £38 on these deals already!

 

I don't know what the U.K. prices are, but that package is quite aggressively priced - Steam lists the sum of individual prices as $586.84. On the other hand, the individual games you want would add to $170.85 - based on the U.S. price of $74.99, the package is already a 56% discount just counting the games you want.

It's not likely that the pack will be further discounted, but it's a possibility and I doubt the deal would be removed before the daily sales are over, so it probably wouldn't hurt to wait and see. It's also possible that the individual games in the pack could be at 75% off in the future; if you're completely sure that the rest of the games in the pack don't interest you, that could work better for you.

Deus Ex and its sequel have been at $2.50 (75% off) a couple of times in the past; I'm surprised you don't already have them. I've heard the sequel doesn't live up to the original's standard, though.

 

i wouldnt say dont interest me, well except for the Championship manager games (Football Manager FTW!) the rest i think i could play them, just that the ones listed above are the more interesting ones from the list ones like Thief, JC1, Shellshock 2, K&L and Denied Ops would be ones that i could play - had Thief and Shellshock 1 on console and loved them so could be higher up on the list then say K&L but if i got them then i would most likely atleast try them

There is that other pack that interests me as well, the 2k pack seems quite good as well and would be interested in Bioshock 1 and 2, Borderlands (and DLC) and the Civ4 pack but also at £69 not sure if its all worth it. Bioshock 1 and 2 would be just over £20, Borderlands and DLC would be like £15-£20 so maybe not the best deal

REALLY want the Empire Total War series to go down, so wonna get Empire and Nopoleon hoping that they drop with DLC to sub £20

 

they had a total war pack, about 5 games, for 13.49 a while ago.

 

you are freaking kidding me right?
i would have so jumped on that (if it had Empire/Napoleon)
they better had do that deal again, the best i have seen is the £40 one without any of the Empire DLC or Nopoleon

 

Also can games on Steam use Mods? was looking at games like GTA 4, FM series and UT 3 - all of these can use mods to improve the game and i was wondering can they be used with Steam versions of the game?

Of course there are many other games that use mods so i guess overall is it possible?

 

With GTA4 wouldn't matter as that requries Windows Live and that won't allow for serious mods.

 

I bought the Total War Mega pack (all Total War games on Steam except Napoleon) at a 66% discount, which was 20.40 USD. You're probably referring to the same pack. Taking a quick look at the Metascores, though, Napoleon doesn't seem to be up to the standard of the previous games.

 

what about all the mods i have seen? i have seen loads that add cars, weapons, buildings and more so none of those would work?

 

well. *shrugs* maybe there's a way to make 'em work if you pirate it or do something to GFWL. But otherwise no I don't think you can mod it too heavily.


look into it though, 'cause I dunno for sure.

LINK

Cin..

 

Resident Evil 5 at $12.50 is the only one that stands out to me, of those. Galcon Fusion might be nice at $2.50 as well, though I don't know anything about it.

 

I've been wanting to play ghostbusters. Good deal at $4.

 

Cmon now...Aliens vs. Predator The Classic 2000 for $1.25 too!!

On a side note I have no idea whether that game is good, in fact I'm assuming its terrible.

 

Hmm, supposedly the old classic was quite a good game; it's the new one that is terrible. $1.25 is definitely a good price.

 

the New AvP i think is good, not played on PC but on PS3 i like it. Not many decent deals today hoping for another (though unlikely) Total War package at a good price

 

THQ Complete Pack for just 49.99

Save 50% on THQ Complete Pack on Steam

 

It's a good deal, but I already have the Dawn of War games which takes a lot of the value out for me. I'll probably wait until the last day of the daily sales before I give it serious consideration.

 

i really want l4d 2, huge fan of the first but never got around to getting the 2nd. hopefully its discounted in this summer game deals period

 

Another day another wallet drain (EFLC and RE5) Recent games at pretty steep discounts are hard to pass up.

 

I can't believe I missed the Mass Effect deals... I really would like to pick up the game now, but I don't want to pay full price. Does anyone have any idea when EA would have a discount again on Steam?

 

from some newsletter

 

Steams doing it right, discounting games so that people dont pirate games, smart marketing.

 

I'm thinking about getting Mount and Blade Warband but I think I'll wait until the last day of the sale to make up my mind. The huge multiplayer battles are what look awesome about it.

 

...

I'm not online for ONE DAY and I miss Bioshock 2, Unreal Pack, and Killing Floor. Well, I can always hope for them to repeat at the very end, right?

Still looking at those three, L4D 1 (played the second one but want the first for the story), Painkiller BE, The Witcher, Devil May Cry 4, and RE5.

On that note, would anyone recommend RE5 for someone who has NEVER played any of the RE games? I'm a pure PC gamer BTW...

 

I haven't played RE5 yet (though I did just pick it up from today's deal ), but I did play RE4 without having every played any of the other RE games. I didn't find that I was missing out on much of anything at all, and I enjoyed the hell out of it. I'm guessing that RE5 would be no different.

 

Killing Floor is $9.99. I can finally convince my buddy toget it.

 

It is 33% off today

 

Excellent. It got decent reviews on the gaming sites I've checked so far, so I'll probably pick it up (not literally of course ).

 

Just purchased Borderlands for $22 bucks. Been wanting to check it out, this sale has pushed me over the edge

 

I'm probably going to get it too, I just want to see if maybe there will be a day where it get's a real headliner discount

 

Borderlands is great. Especially if you enjoy killing multitudes of giant mouthed monsters.

 

I bought Borderlands at release, regret is all I felt for it.

 

I bought borderlands retail. It was/is a good game. Lots of fun playing it. Unfortunately, the DLCs are not available easily through retail. So I'll double-dip when it's on a better sale (like 75% off or something). And Borderlands retail can't be added as a Steam-game.

Late edit: Found this: https://digital.2kgames.com/ 2k digital store. Haven't tried it yet.

 

Elaborate?

 

my wallet is bleeding .... 81,5 euro's game in a few weeks, i'll have to stop now ...
but for that money i have 9 great games, thats less than 10 € a game:

-Mirror's Edge @ 3.74€
-Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box @ 3.74€
-Crysis Complete (ROW) @ 17,48€
-Fallout 3 - Game of the Year, Oblivion Game of the Year Delux, Morrowind Game of the Year @ 38,49€
-F.E.A.R.: Ultimate Shooter Edition @ 8.99€
-Magic: Duels of the Planeswalkers + expantion 1 @ 8.99€

I'm very happy with my purchases, but i want so much more...... aaaaaaaa....
My wife will kill me if i buy more ... LOOOL

 

hey Psyloid - what is Magic : DoP like? it looks interesting, what do you think of it? wanted to get The Ultamate Box for ages, never seen it that low must have missed it

 

never mind, you won't have time for a wife after those purchases anyway

 

I used to play magic a lot like 15 years ago, i played it for years (from revised till 7th edition, including expantions from the dark up to alliances) then i sold all my cards. so now i bought this, and i must say that many ppl complain about it, but i think its really okay for a tenner. The single player computer AI is not really great, and you can only play premade decks (no own deck building) and you need to play a lot of single player to unlock the powerfull cards for each deck, when you have a deck completely unlocked you are ready for multiplayer versus, you can play 2 to 4 player matches online, and playing against humans is really fun, there's still some bugs in the game that will be fixed (according to the game rep in the steam forum). There is a free demo on steam, so be sure to check that out first.
Oh and in single player there are some challenges too, which take a lot of thinking (you are given a situation and you need to finish the game in that turn). Those are pretty awesome as well (unless you read on cheat forums how to do them)

i'd give the game a 65% score (could go up to 75% if some niggles are fixed/features added)
but for ten bucks, its really okay

already played 22 hrs in 10 days time, so it isn't that bad

 

Man borderlands was too short and repetitive. It had potential to do soo much more, be more mmo and less WOW if you know what im saying. It was all these mundaine go collect this go kill 15 of these, kill the boss of the area, what is this everquest online. I wanted some more story , they could have made it this huge elaborate treasure chase, but they ended up dumbing it down to nothing. Tis a pitty theres really no good PVE mmofps out there, what ever happened to huxely?

 

Today's sales:

L4D2 - 10.20
Audiosurf - 2.50
Zeno Clash - 3.75
Supreme Commander 2 - 7.47
Star wars Force Unleashed - 7.49
City of Heros - 9.99
Company of Heros pack- 24.99
Hearts of Iron - 66% off (?)

Meh. Yesterday was much better...

 

Left 4 Dead 2 is at $10.20, that's being listed as a daily deal in Steam for me instead of HL1.

Except for Audiosurf and HL1 which I already have, the only one of interest to me is Company of Heroes, and the discount there isn't large enough for me.

 

hl1 was a glitch, but was up there (but the sale price never changed)

l4d2 is the actual daily one today.

also I can't believe that the force unleashed is 30 GB.

holy crap

 

oh im glad i didnt see it until today, 66% off, hell ya steam!! i think ive bought more computer games in the last 2 weeks than i have in the last 2 years!

 

Oh marketing, how you make me by things.....

 

Not the best of deals today, hoping they improve tomorrow

 

Someone should set up a 4-way L4D2 buy so it costs $7 and some cents each.

 

Getting force unleash and zeno clash! But 30gigs!?! really?

 

How active is the L4D2 online community, particularly in Europe

I'm really planning to buy it online, but just want to make sure people are still playing it

10$ is an awesome price
