*** OFFICIAL Steam Games Deals Thread ***

TBH you don't need the previous games to enjoy the new one. Also I'm not sure what you mean by the deal and gifting?

 

They do.

10 char

 

I picked up F1 2010 for $19.99 and Battlefield 2 for $6.79

 

Meh, not picking anything up today

 

LC and the guardian of light is cheaper to buy if you own other tomb raider games

 

Oh I see it now... damn I should've waited I bought it during the give/get sale for 50% off.

 

I may pick up RE5. Wanted to play that one, but never willing to fork over $50 for it.

 

Time for the Witcher...was always curious about that game. Now just need a good deal on Civ 5 or Borderlands GotY!

 

Yeah, I'm debating the Witcher for $5. Hard to say no to that. On another note, is the X-Com series a good deal for $8. I'm willing to try it, but the graphics of the first game look very rough. Does the story/gameplay make up for this?

 

Always heard good things about Xcom, and as far as graphics, I played Starcraft up until SC II came out, so... ;-)

As for the Witcher, that director's cut supposedly fixed a lot of issues with the first one.

 

Yea anytime hit me up on falcon64z8

 

The game is awesome!

 

Can you move and shoot at the same time yet?

That alone kept me from enjoying RE4 and made me wary of RE5

 

You can't move and shoot at the same time, that's not how RE games work. if you don't like that you will not enjoy the game.

The game is not supposed to be another run and gun mindless zombie shooter.

 

My wallet has already started cowering in fear. Just got bioshock 2, the witcher, RE5, and 2 indie games. Looking forward to tomorrow.

 

another game i heard a lot about but was on the fence about BUT will not pass up at his price--the witcher. i have a feeling this is going to be a mantra for a while.

 

Sadly their is no story in the X-coms, the premise is basically earth is under attack from aliens defend it..

The game comes into its own for base building and squad management, the sheer amount of customizations from buying your researchers to having to sell looted equipment to kitting out your squad.

Its worth the price if you can get past the GFX and the insanely steep learning curve.

I'm waiting for a Mass Effect 2 sale...it was 10 bucks a couple months ago, I'm hoping to snag it for that price again.

 

I just bought the Codemasters racing pack, as well as Black Ops. Activision annoys me. All the other publishers have great sales and they don't even drop the prices on their older games. I'm willing to pay the $60 this time since Black Ops actually has dedicated servers though.

 

I think I'll get The Witcher and RE5.

 

Just bought half these games not long ago for more, thats the only thing that sucks about the sales.

 

do these deals for the GPU brand owners work if you already have a Steam account?

 

Have a fair few of these
A few are a bit high
Definitely getting Puzzle quest though, tempted to get The Witcher also since I've heard alot about it, not sure if I'll play it though

Also, Burnout is a MASSIVE steal at its current price so buy it

 

I was really thinking about getting this, but don't know much about the game. Your advice makes me more tempted, but it's hard to take you seriously with a pic like that...

 

haha i agree

 

$10 plus change for RE4 is reeeeally looking good right now.

 

Yes. They do work

 

Burnout Paradise Ultimate for $5 is an awesome deal. I would have jumped on it if not for already owning it on the PS3. And disregard my pic of the little piggy crying we we we all the way home.

 

I was looking at the gothic package(games 1,2,3, and 4) and I must say I was rather unimpressed with reviews, thought it appears gothic 2 seens to be the best of the franchise(good reviews only), and its only 5 bux right now..

 

Why does Steam keep going on and off with my downloads? It's making it take three times as long!

 

bc2? it took me a good 8 hours for it to download...

 

No, Burnout Paradise. It took just over two hours when it should have taken less than one hour. BC2 wasn't any better yesterday, though. It should have taken under two hours to download, but ended up taking exactly 4.

 

Because of the mad sale frenzy everyone is downloading their new games

 

I've been downloading BC2 for a total of... 14 hours now. still almost 2GB to go.

 

I bought Burnout Paradise and the Polynomial.
So far, haven't really gotten into the Polynomial yet, but Burnout is great.

 

I gotta say super meat boy is a lotta fun, more than I thought id be... also it serves well as the kind of game u play for an hour, then go do somethingelse, then come back and continue from where u were.

 

SMB is fun, its just so ridiculously hard to 100%

Im a completest/perfectionist so instead of just beating a stage and moving on I am getting all bandages and a A+ on each stage before I move on to the next. So I am just now starting the dark world for the Hospital (world 2)

I have nightmares of what is to come... I have seen youtube videos of later stages in the game and I just dont think I have the stuff required to do it.

SMB is awesome though, it should be like required testing for anger management classes. If you can keep your cool you passed

 

Man oh man, I was 3 minute late on the 75% off for Battlefield2. It was only 13E, had a real chance but blow it (((((

 

Hoping they throw out a discount on the Vietnam expansion at some point, if not think I will pick it up after the sales are over.

(of course to have it go on sale like a week later after I buy it...)

 

Whats smb?

 

Super Meat Boy

 

Well, I caved and bought the Witcher for $5. In case I disappear suddenly sometime in January that means my wife saw the Visa bill .

 

Something else great about these sales, is that if you already own a game you can go back and play it and there will be a huge influx of new players. Happens all the time with l4d2...

 

Ain't that the truth. Steam must be having a newbocalypse right now!

 

I might get AC:2....


anyone played spore?

 

I'm wondering about Spore as well. I might get that and Just Cause 2.

 

Just Cause 2 is pretty good. got it a couple weeks ago for the same price. Blowing stuff up is fun.

 

Does Assassin's Creed II have the same Ubisoft DRM found on Splinter Cell: Conviction? (main reason I didn't buy Conviction)

 

yes. AC2 DRM came first.
