*** OFFICIAL Steam Games Deals Thread ***

Debating getting both Dead Space games. I'm a pansy when it comes to horror games.

 

lol pretty much same as me

I'm a little chicken...as tempting as the deals are, I know I would be too scared to play them

for me, bioshock is the limit of scariness I'm willing to tolerate

 

I could barely finish the first FEAR, haha.

Dunno. Might get it now, and when I man up I can have it bought and ready to go.

 

lol I dont really like games where i am totally alone. Kinda boring and creepy. I never play games like FEAR, Dead Space, etc..

 

Dead space series is not scary at all. I may have some jumpy scenes but not that scary.

 

For me, monster jumping out from behind a corrider = scary.

For God's sake, I thought the movie Quarantine was scary.

 

Then I shouldn't tell you in Dead Space 2, you have to poke a needle in the main character's eyeball to go grab a key lodged inside his eyeball...

 

Sounds more silly than scary. Jump sequences scare me, because it is hard not to be shocked when something appears form no where and the sound kicks it up to eleven.

 

I'm not really into scary games (wasn't into Resident evil series), but I beat DS1 and playing DS2 right now; and I would say they are awesome games. I would recommend getting atleast DS1 and give it a try. When steamdeal ends for DS on Sunday, you can still buy it through EADM [electronic arts downloader] for $12; and DS2 for $23.

The one bad thing about DS1 is that the controls for PC are really bad. To fix it, turn OFF ingame VSYNC by going into game settings, and turn mouse sensitivity way up.

Good luck

 

I loved Doom 3, and scared the crap outta me. I had a hard time getting into Dead Space because of the controls, but love the premise. I may bite on the DS2 though and give them both a go again!

 

I caved and got dead space, the first one. If I like it I'll by the second one around christmas when it's on a better sale

 

BC2 at $6.80
Vietnam at $7.49
BC2 SPECACT at $2.99
BF2: CC at $5.00
Medal of Honor at $14.99
Medal of Honor: Airborne at $2.50

I already have BC2 and Vietnam, not interested in the rest...

 

Ya I am disappointed. I was hoping for MoH for under $10,

 

if only I got those prices... for me its

bc2 - 10.20

Medal of Honor at $29.99

I would only get BC2

 

I need vietnam, so i guess I'm getting that.

 

Just got Bad Company 2 for £6.80. Such a huge discount, might as well as just get it.

 

Very tempted today
Haven't played BC2, BFBC2, or MoH Airbourne

Need recommendations on which ones to get, also what sort of game is BF2 and BC2 since I've never really seen them played?

 

Don't get BF2 as the community for BF2 is kind of dead and that stick around are German-based servers. Even though I prefer BF2 loads more than BC2, you will find a lot more people playing BC2.

 

Thanks for the quick heads up (+ rep)
Hows the BC2 community in general these days even though its been out a fair while?
More specifically servers in Europe since that's where I'm located

Looks like its BC2 and MoH Airborne then

 

It is not that bad. I play on servers that often have a varying degree of players and it makes an interesting game every time you play. I can't comment on European servers since I lag badly on them (and in BC2 a high ping does affect the hit detection... ) but based on the NA servers I play, it is mostly a fun and interesting experience. You do get occasionally some cheaters and trolls, but overall it is a more mature community than let's say... Black Ops or MW 2.

 

BC2 is still quite popular, although the amount of people playing Vietnam has decreased some. I picked up BC2 so I could finally have a copy of it on Steam... uninstalling EADM now and it feels gooooood! LOL!

 

Congrats for breaking free

Saw a review on IGN for BC2 and it looked great, like a very polished version of BF heroes (a f2p game I loved before they ruined it)

Ended up grabbing it
Downloading as I type
That's 12 pounds they've managed to get off me this week

 

Everyone who bought BC2 should get Vietnam as well! Its a great expansion and we need more people playing it!

FYI: Crysis 2 on amazon is half off today:
Amazon.com: Crysis 2: Video Games

 

Add me on Crysis 2 and BC2 if anyone is interested. IGN is the same as my username in here. I'm better at playing Crysis 2 though, I'm really bad at BC2 for now..

 

Guess I'll have to pick up Medal of Honor for $15!

 

Already took the hit on BC2, maybe next time
Also amazon uk dont have crysis 2 on sale

I was very tempted for 10 pounds but went with BC2 and put the extra 3.20 towards tomorrow

Also anyone looking play BC2 to add me, although I doubt I will play at all this month since finals start in a week
My Steam page
Handle atm is [NBR]Rubicon

 

I thought today was the last day for deals?

 

i bought bc2 during the christmas sales and have been waiting for vietnam to go on sale as it is now. medal of honor i could not pass up for $15. groceries are so over rated.

 

how about MoH Airborne? Should I buy it?

 

Does BFBC2 Vietnam expansion have new singleplayer missions too?

 

MoH Airborne: "(64-Bit versions of Windows not supported)" -> true??

 

Nope, no singleplayer missions.... there is however a flamethrower

 

Also just grabbed BF2 to have a digital copy... realized my original disk is all scratched up. TBH, the sense of ease knowing that all my games are now with Steam and backup up digitally is quite convenient!

 

Nevermind... MoH Airborne works fine it seems. Bought it xD

 

Well the steam page that I can see says EA Week May 2-9 so I'm hoping there is another deal tomorrow

Yeah I saw that but from what I read apparently its a mixed bag so I decided to give it a miss. Was very cheap though. Oh well
Good to hear it works, I take it your on 64 bit too?

 

Steam has also added extra security that works pretty well to guard against account theft now too.

 

Yeah was quite happy when they announced the extra security. Makes me feel safer considering most of my games are on steam

 

Yeah, and for crying out loud, use a secure password too!

 

If I remember right, one of the security engineers from Steam publish is account name and password (owning ALL the Steam games available at the time) encouraging people to break it and keep the account. That was the "inauguration" of the extra security system xD

 

Wasn't that Gabe Newell? I think he released his login info as a challenge to anyone to try and get access to his account... I could be wrong though.

 

Gabe Newell even gave our his lol...

(Ninja'ed )

 

Here's the video:

Midweek madness. I want the commandos pack!. Well, if it work on windows 7 64... I'll check that

EDIT: seems it don't. You have to do some "magic" to get it work. I'll pass on this

 

I know it's not on steam, but get it here.

Commandos Ammo Pack - GOG.com

 

Yes, I got an account there too xD

I only wanted the Steam pack because is soooo cheap!. less than 4$ for all of them!.

 

Weekend Deals: 75% off all Serious Sam

 

How's serious sam? from the gameplay videos, it looked a bit repetitive.

 

I was asking myself this same thing.

 

Terraria just came out. Anyone wanna go in on a 4-pack?

$10 for 1 copy, $30 for the 4-pack

 

Don't get the Commandos pack on Steam. It sucks because they have done no work to get it to actually work on Vista/7 and it's buggy still on XP.
