*** OFFICIAL Steam Games Deals Thread ***

Just bought Dragon Age for my M11x even though I've beat the game about 3 times on the Xbox. I might pick up DA2 later on when the price goes down some more.

 

I hope to see Crysis 2 on sale this week for 66% off. lol...

 

So excited for EA week, hoping Mass Effect goes on sale

 

Was hoping for a better DA2 deal...retail Dragon Age 2 Bioware Signature Edition is still cheaper than the Steam version :/ Even with this deal, retail SE is currently still $5 cheaper here than the Steam version, what is up with the prices of new games on STEAM ?! ...

 

i've noticed this too. portal 2 is $30 for retail on amazon

 

Waiting for Vietnam to go on sale.

 

Sorry for double post, but today is Need for Speed Day!

50% off Hot Pursuit
66% off Shift
75% off Undercover

 

Plants vs. Zombies GOTY Edition - $3.40 (Reg $9.99)

 

Anyone played the new Hot Pursuit? I have not played a Need For Speed game since the first underground (they started to suck imho) and never really logged alot of time in one except the original Hot Pursuit. I almost bought it new on the ps3 to play with my little brother but it didn't have split screen mulitplayer so I let it pass. Now I see it for $15 and I know it has online multiplayer but is it fun?

 

Yes, I'm curious too as to what the guys here think of Hot Pursuit.

 

Hot Pursuit was kinda cool, but i still live Hot Pursuit 2 for PS2. (The best version)

Also yay for cheap PvZ, grabbing it!

 

I was wondering if people still play hot pursuit online??

can any one confirm this?

 

Those NFS games look like a good deal. May pick up all three. <$25 for them. Darn Steam, this is how I end up with so many games that I never play...

 

I saw your list when you posted it while back. I had to scroll down the page for a week to get to the end of it!

 

If anyone is interested, amazon.com has the game for $11.99 which is only a couple bucks cheaper:
Amazon.com: Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit: Video Games

 

100% Agree with you!

Me too spend some cash today:
1) NFS Undercover (don't know if it's a good game, 2,50$ is irresistible)
2) Plants vs Zombies (for my wife... she's new to Steam xD)

Damn you Steam!

Mi ID

 

Can anyone post what the steam deals are for today? I'm at work and I can't check. Thanks

 

Sims day today. Might get sim city 4...

 

Mass effect day, me1 is 5$ me2 is $10-20 (deluxe edition).

 

I picked up both ME1 & ME2 for $14.99

 

I think I'll go with me1, is a nice price and never played that game. Damn Steam! Already got a LOT of games on my library that haven't been played! Maybe I should wait...

 

The only game play difference of ME2 and ME2 Deluxe Edition is a couple of weapons and a piece of armor?

 

well you get a documentary video and a soundtrack or something too.

 

men of war series for the weekend.

 

crysis and crisis warhead both 75% off.

Is it worth it? hows the story and length?

 

Yes! I may get it for once to finally use it as a benchmarking tool!

I heard the story was not bad actually.

 

Man I got excited when I saw Crysis day, but disappointed with no Crysis 2 special!

As for the first one and expansion, definitely worth a purchase if you've never played them.... fun shooters!

 

Crysis Maximum Edition is definitely worth $9.99. Best $12 I ever spent on games last year when I bought this package. Today's is the cheapest I have seen it. It's an awesome deal and great fun.

And yes, too bad Crysis 2 wasn't 75% off too.

 

that's EA for ya. they will hold on their new games till 1 or 2 years after the release for them to put the games on sale.

 

And then, prices are still high. I already bought a lot of games from Steam, and EA prices are the highest (based ond the launch/age period). I can accept a new game worth even 60$... but a 2007 game for 30$ (original crysis price) is too much. Mass effect week prices was the closest EA get in terms of right price (maybe ME2 should get the same price as ME1... or at least a bundle package at 10$)

I won't buy Crysis...

 

However, it is $10 right now. I don't know why you won't get it at that price they are offering today. I agree with you that in general, Steam's prices on older games are steep. However, when they do go on sale, they go on sale at really low prices, or prices that I would get such game in the first place. Therefore, I will go for it when the chance is open and feel happy about it. In principle it is a great idea to refuse buying things you think is a ripoff, but when a sale is legit, I'd go for it and not look back. If it weren't for the sale, then I will stand with you in general and say "Too expensive. Pass!"

 

cant believe crysis 2 was half price on the EA store last week. i bet theres a lot of people kicking themselves now thinking steam might be cheaper.

and if you havnt got crysis and warhead including crysis wars yet BUY IT NOW you wont be disappointed at that price.

 

I believe there was a misunderstanding. I was not talking about ON SALE prices in general. Only ON SALE prices from EA.

ALL the games I have on Steam, I bought on discount sales. Valve main system is fabulous, I even bought games I don't like much because of the magnificent prices!! (Need for speed undercover... just 2.5$... come on! I bought it just for the pleasure to drive expensive cars with fabulous soundtrack ;D... well, that was a nice price on EA too, isn't it?. Wish they do it more often!)

Well... discounts are the same as other companies (66%, 75%, etc)... the problem is that their base prices are higher. So Crysis with 75% discount is the same price as Batman with 75% off. Batman being newer (2 years newer!) and (my opinion) a better game.

I didn't know there was a 10$ bundle. I don't have it (maybe some region stuff). All I have is a Crysis Complete Pack for 15$ (the same price as buying each separately). The same did happen for ME1 and ME2.

Must say I really like to pay more to Steam for a digital download than pay, let's say Amazon (only an example), for a fisical/digital copy (Unless they give a Steam key activation). Why?. I REALLY love the Steam system. Is so simple. All updates are transparent, online gaming is fabulous, the comunity, support... etc. Is a perfect integration. And that without mention keeping the windows registry free of garbage. Installing a game is only a download step.

 

If you need more incentive to get them both :

MechWarrior: Living Legends

Mechwarrior mod

 

That is THE MAIN reason for me to buy crysis!!! But I should wait... too many games on my library waiting to be played... maybe if I was given the 10$ bundle... grrrr

 

I don't even know how well it would run on a 5650 at 1600x900 that can't go much above 550/800

 

Does Crysis and Warhead run ok on Win7? Just want to make sure before I buy.

Says recommended for XP and Vista...


**EDIT**
Nevermind found it on Steam forums: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1874368

 

Grabbed Crysis complete pack for 4,99€. Pretty good I allready got the retail version, but god this is much simpler. No more CDs around...

 

^^i was thinking the exact same thing tunay.
warhead and wars run without disc but crysis still wants the disc loaded each time which is a pain.

 

A while since I played Crysis now, but my main problem is always with the installation..

 

This $10 Crysis deal is sweet

 

Wish Crysis were included......

 

Didn't like the fact that it still has the DRM, which was why I haven't bought it until now but I bought it finally because according to the Steam forums there is a tool for warhead, and while there isn't one for crysis, EA is able to restore its activations if a user runs out.

That and a price of 6 pounds for maximum edition of course.

 

I couldn't get this working on my warhead install, it took like a good 5 hours to update, and no servers exist to play appearently, I musta done something wrong , oh well Hawken will be out soon enough and will give me my fp mech fill. Back on topic, ME1 & 2 for 15 bucks, Thanks EA for making the PSN downtime enjoyable . Steam should be jumping all over that right now, getting some Playstation guys to get into some pc gaming.

 

Weirdiest thing just happened.
so i went to buy both crysis and crysis warhead from steam.
but it said there was an error.
so im like ok wonder what the problem is.
check thtat i had enough money on my card-Yes
checked detail were right -yes
then i went back to the cart screen and relisead it said that the error is i alredy owned the games-.-
went to my librabry and they were both there

but no money has been taken from my account!

weird huh?

 

Dead Space is 75% off and Dead space 2 is 40% off

 

That kind of PO'ed me regarding the DRM because EA quoted the following on December 22nd, 2008:

Yeah, so much for that EA...

 

I know exactly what you mean
EA did stand by their word apparently though as according to the steam forums as DRM was removed from a number of those games on steam, but it seems the developer has a say in it too, and I've read that Crytek are against removing the DRM, which I just dont get

 

Crytek was all over for DRM because Crysis 1 I think was badly leaked and pirated within the initial weeks of the game release and they lost some sales due to it. Ironically, same thing happened with Crysis 2...

 

Silly Crytek. That DRM is the only reason I haven't bought Crysis yet.
