*** OFFICIAL Steam Games Deals Thread ***

If I only play at home is the DRM gonna be an issue?

 

Do I have to play assassins creed 1 to really dig assassins creed 2?

 

Hold out for the last day. Steam typically has an "encore" of their previous sales on that day.

 

Is your internet stable?

And dammit, Steam is really trying to kill me. I don't even know if I'll have enough money left to get ME1&2 and Civ V by the time they go on sale at this rate...

Okay, I think I'll get these two, but be more conservative from this point on...

 

We all lie to ourselves, don't we? xD

 

all the time.




and yes, my internet is stable. I can download it on another computer later right? (THinking of building a desktop in the spring)

 

BF: BC2 crashes randomly for me, just shuts off to desktop after i die and doesnt give any error message. anybody else have this?

 

Do you think Dragon Age origins will drop in price again any time soon? I mean is it worth the $37.49 right now?

 

We won't know until Jan 2. Just hold out to see if it gets a daily deal.

 

DA:O ultimate was on sale via Direct2Drive for either $30 or $25 on Black Friday. Prettymuch everyone passed expecting Steam to do equal or better for their holiday sale. So stay tuned and we'll see!

 

deciding whether to get ac2
i totally did the game but i totally hate the drm.
wanted to hold out on this game till they remove the drm but its sucha tempting deal...


edit:
decided not to get it. that drm is just too horrible imo

 

Good call. Got your back on this one, man.

 

Hmm. Nothing of interest to me today. On to tomorrow!

 

Anybody know if either AC2 or CoD:MW will get any cheaper than 50% off?

 

No, if it's on daily deals that the cheapest it's going to get.

 

ugh. buying AC:2. Last game I'm buying unless ME:2 goes on even more sale...

 

Just Cause 2 downloaded in 44 minutes! Now that's more like it!

I have a feeling that Civ V is finally going on sale. *crosses fingers*

What do you guys think the chances of a 75% off sale for both ME1 and ME2 are?

 

It went on sale during the treasure hhunt, only 25% though

 

I know. I also know that it was on sale for 33% off for a very short time on Monday, leading me to believe that there was a glitch that caused it to go on sale before it's daily deal date.

 

ya i saw that as well. i thought it was pretty strange, but if it was a glitch i doubt we'll see it much cheaper than that.

 

If it was a glitch, that's exactly what we'll see. The game is still pretty new. Any sale is fine with me, though.

theres ur mass effect and darksiders! gogogogog

 

Damn. I was hoping for a bit more off on ME1&2.

Oh well! I'm sure that I won't regret buying at those prices.

 

YES!

Buying Darksiders, Dead rising and Wings of Prey.

[size=+3]EVERYONE GET ALPHA PROTOCOL, the GAME OF THE YEAR, RIGHT NOW![/size]

I also paid $45 for the Pre-order of ME2 back in January and it was worth every cent, so get it!

 

Both of the Mass Effects are $7.98 from the Gamer's Gate sale, might as well save a dollar and get them from there.

 

Yeah but it's not Steam. Who wants to have multiple sites scattered for their games? Buying it on GamerGate might as well be like pirating it since you just get a exe.

 

Exactly why I expected more of a sale.

However, after hearing so many complaints about their DRM and considering the convenience Steam offers, paying a little more is worth it.

 

Wow, got some tough choices ahead of me. ME2 is tempting, as well as Darksiders, but at $10 a crack, it'll eat up my holiday budget fast.

 

Pffft did you have a $50 budget or something?

 

I know the feeling. At least until Christmas, my budget is limited to $140, and I'm already down to $112.50. I need a job.

 

Complaints about their DRM? I've never bought from them before, but from what I (briefly) read in the topic, it sounds like they send you the retail install files and a key. I was considering possibly ordering from them but I'd like to hear your complaints first.

 

Downloading Dead Rising 2, looking for a partner to coop!

Doesn't Silent Hunter Battle of Atlantic have that crap DRM?

 

getting wings of prey, also anyone care to give any input on darksiders and patricians IV? they look pretty cheap...

Mass effect 2 is 25 dollars for me(with the 50% discount), kind steep still... so Ill prolly hold and see if Dragon age gets any decent discounts.

 

Wait. I was thinking about something else. lol

Still, I'd rather have it on Steam.

 

Anyone think that Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete Edition is going any low? I allready seen that GTA IV has drop down to 20€. But, included packages it is still 35€.

 

Im getting Mass Effect 2, but don't know if I should get Darksiders or Risen?

 

Wow. I had no idea that ME1&2 were such massive games. :/ My HDD is gonna cry...

 

It's got great variety of voice acting, and lots of different worlds to explore.

 

They better, for over 10GB each...

 

I'm positive that my HDD hates me by now.

To make matters worse, I still have $90 left in my budget. lol

 

lol my steam folder is over 600gb.

 

Dang, did you install every game you own there?

 

No that would be over 2TB

 

Any opinions on alpha protocol?

As for peeps who are curious about darksiders, its a solid action adventure game, but no way in league with god of war, ninja gaiden, devil may cry and the sort. Lengthy adventure, decent story but leaves and overall "ehhh" feel cos the depth and complexity in the combat is just not there.

But, for the price its at atm, this game is definitely worth experiencing.

 

I wish I had that much HDD space. lol

At least the download is stable. ME2 looks like it'll take less than 2.5 hours total to download.

Interesting note: before the sale, I only had 7 games. Now I have 14. And I still have $90 left on my budget. Also, as of this post, I have 1.25 "gigaposts" on this forum using the binary system.

 

did you read my post?

Alpha Protocol is the game of the year. AWESOME story, the cause/effect system is so f'ing epic and it's never been so deep in any other game.

The order you choose the missions will affect the gameplay. You can replay it 30+ times and not get the same thing each time.

 

Picked up Mass Effect 2, it's really the only game I've wanted to go on sale.

 

I've need the Steam version.
