*** OFFICIAL Steam Games Deals Thread ***

woot nice package. But all those games are so outdated :S

 

Tempting but I'll pass due to Ubisoft's shoddy DRM crap.

 

I'm pretty sure none of the games in the pack have DRM.

 

I've just installed it (I already owned it, but hadn't played) and tried online. Very populated, and no lag, pretty fun too!

 

They don't, I just don't trust Ubisoft anymore and I don't feel they deserve any more money than they have.

EDIT: I checked into it, the AC2 still has the always-on internet DRM. Lose connection, lose your game. Glad I decided not to buy.

 

It's not AC2, it's AC1 in the pack.

 

not on Steam, but Amazon has DA Ultimate on sale for $20. Digital download.

Amazon.com: : Video Games

Debating whether or not to buy it. I've been waiting for it to go this cheap but I have a bunch of games to play still!

 

Hey sorry I din see ur post till now!

I checked it out.. i'm in LA n i found 3 servers with low ping.. n overall i found maybe 30-40 servers.. of course i searched on a saturday morning so i'm not sure how it varies.. hope this helps

 

This is a mistake on Steam's part. According to Ubisoft, that always-online DRM was dropped on AC2. Now all you have to do is validate the game online each time you boot up the game, but if you lose your internet connection during play you won't get kicked. I don't actually have the game so I can't say 100% but if Ubisoft did as they said then Steam needs to correct their DRM warning on AC2's page.

 

Do you play in the west coast or east coast?

Oh, np and thanks. I'm in Hawaii so the best servers for me would be west coast. Hrm, still not sure about the pack, but I still have until Sunday evening to decide.

 

HEAD CROP!

 

Harvest Spree!

 

Ultraaaa! Harveeeest!

 

Me too. I love Steam deals

 

Mafia II at 75% off (so £5 for us UK'ers).

Any one know if its any good? (I seem to buy most of these cheap offers, but rarelly play them!).

Boz

 

its frkin awsome
i just bought it (the made man version)10£ and i must say its really pretty game and gameplay is fun also....although dosent seem much too do while i free roam around the city

 

Yes, it's a good game...

 

does it run any better than the demo version, 'cause the demo chugged pretty badly on my 5650.

 

Thats weird, I have a 4650 and it plays really smooth for me.

 

full game or the demo? 'cause for some reason I do remember reading that the demo had a few issues.

whatever. I bought it since if nothing else it ran well enough on low at 1280x720 (the demo). I'll just see how it goes at 1600x900 on well, whatever

edit: Played through chapter 1 and part of 2. It runs well enough. Cigarette smoke slows it down pretty badly though during a scene (not sure why, oh well)

 

Total war package is 50% off, $65.

Empire total war by itself is 75% off, $7.50.

 

._. Hm... Grabbed the total war package thingy for Napoleon cheap :3 Rome and Medieval's just a bonus. Empire already have it but they won't give extra copies for gifting ._.

That aside, I have an extra copy of Portal lying around. Anyone want it?

Edit: Someone claimed it :3

 

Yup, I've been waiting for this game for a while to go down in price. Finally enjoying it

 

I'm guessing Medieval II is worth 2.50, isn't it?

 

it pretty much is, but you are going to need to buy the Kingdoms expansion, there are several good mods being made for that game, and already released for it. check this forum,

Total War Center - Home

and look for ishan and me (mr mm) we can help you out to find the best mod for you, there are napoleon era mods, medieval focusing on the crusades, fantasy with the dawn of war world or lord of the rings, ancient asia, ancient europe (Europa Barbarorum is THE MOD to look for or download if you have the R: TW game)

PS: Napoleon is up for grab, bought one for me + the DLCs (peninsular campaign is a must buy)

PPS: if you guys dont own ETW, its best to go and ditch out 50 for the ETW and NTW + all DLC for both (its the game of the year edition: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/6301/)

 

Lots of games on sale for 40%- 80%.

is Wings of prey good even without a joystick?

 

Oh yeah, very doable with mouse and keyboard.

Xbox controller would be better though.

 

Just curious, If I had a wireless 360 controller with a play and charge cord (connects via USB) would I still have to buy an adapter?

 

the wireless controller requires the usb dongle.. if you plug in the charging cord for the controller into your computer...its going to complain theirs not enough power to charge your device

 

unfortunaly u would still need the dongle.

if u have a ps3 however u can use the controller in place of an xbox 360 pad

 

Nah, I don't even have a 360. My brother in law hinted at giving his to me when he buys a whole set with Kinect...


anyways, still on the fence with wings of prey.

 

Weedend Deal:
75% off Darksiders!

 

is darksiders any good? worth $10?

 

im getting it for sure =D

 

Yeah it's worth the $10

 

Excellent game, finished it in around 9-10 hrs on my first run. Has to be played with a Xbox 360 controller though to get the most out of it.

 

Is it not playable at all with keyboard/mouse? I might pick it up for $10.

 

I think it's playable with keyboard/mouse but it's probably one of those games where using a gamepad will yield a better experience.

Like Devil May Cry ._.

 

There's also a FREE weekend of Monday Night Combat and a 33% off till Monday.

Downloading now

@ HT , it's playable but can get very frustrating at times so it's better suited with a gamepad

 

gosh darn it. stupid gamepads. I need to buy one someday.

 

Yeah Darksiders I played with a 360 pad.

Next time I see a cheap deal on 360 or PS3 pads I'll be sure to post it in the deals section. It happens pretty often so keep your eyes peeled.

Also do not forget: http://forum.notebookreview.com/accessories/497568-ultimate-gamepad-review-guide.html

Cheapest pad is actually the Wii Classic w/ Adapter has all buttons & functions of the 360 pad.

 

Hey Vicious, is this your video?
YouTube - Magicka Tutorial: Tips & Tricks + Best Spell Combinations

 

Yep, bit older now since I learned new tricks but its mine.

 

I have a wireless dongle for an Xbox 360 controller as well as a PC wired Xbox 360 controller. I just hate controllers period. I was never very good with them even when I was a kid. But suit me up in a full HOTAS and I'm good to go!

 

please post up any good PS3 dual shock 3 deals if u find any. i only have 1 remote right now lol.

 

yeah, I have a wii remote, I just don't really like buying stuff like that...

 

hey, just for those that bought or were thinking about buying Wings of Prey, they just released an update to remove the DRM it came with... so now no reason at all not to enjoy it! Seems silly though they didn't do this before this last sale! It's an AWESOME game, totally recommend.

I read about that adapter, and I must say it's very cool. I still have an original Microsoft Sidewinder USB gamepad that I use for older PC games, such as Carmageddon 2 and Motocross Madness 2. I'd use the 360 pad for them, but I don't want to bother with 3rd party software in order to map the triggers as standard buttons.

 

Motocross Madness 2 that brings me back.... so does midtown madness...
