*** OFFICIAL Steam Games Deals Thread ***

I've never played Black Ops before but I just did for 1 hour with this free weekend deal, and it isn't bad at all. I mean, it's no BC2, but for a free weekend, it's fun enough to kill a few hours.

 

It's much much better than the piece of garbage it was on release
I have barely played it because the coding/optimization was so bad

Took them long enough to fix it lol

Still good of them to have free weekend

 

It is ok....

 

I had the exact opposite perception. I haven't played CoD series since CoD4, and I was extremely dumbfounded to see how poor the game was. Honestly, I have no idea how games like Homefront didn't dethrone CoD. The maps are so darn small, kill streaks are super lame, and the graphics look worse than things coming out 4 years ago.

 

This is all trumped by marketing sadly.

 

I'm a Mac - and I'm a PC

 

Dirt is on sale for $2.50 for the next 17 hours or so.

 

Looks pretty recent, TW2 now for $39.99!

 

Bought that... and world of goo (-50%) for my wife xD

 

This is a first, at least for MW2 I think...

50% off MW2, and MW.

 

For that price il might actually consider buying it.

 

Has Crysis or the Crysis Maximum Edition ever been on sale on Steam? Thanks.

 

yeah. once awhile ago. once not so long ago.

and then during the summer/winter sales.

 

got it. thanks.

 

ah, I'm torn .... should I buy MW2 ? I have heard the multiplayer is better than Blackops, but I don't really know why ....

Maybe I'll just stick with counter-strike source for my FPS needs ...

 

Theres 50% of both Resident evil 5 and Dead Rising 2. Really considering getting Dead rising 2, seems like a cool game.

 

Capcom is remaking Dead Rising 2 with more stuff, but 50% off original game aint bad. :3
I would grab RE5 but im unsure if it got singleplayer coop over the net.

 

is has online and offline co-op..

 

Cool i dident know that, but is it then gonna be a full retail price and when is it gonna be released???

 

Idk, maybe Capcom puts full retail price but then they be MAD!

Just found out that RE5 for PC doesent have access to the extra DLC stuff PS3 and Xbox 360 got, meaning this is not worth it.

 

Yeah, but im really on the edge of getting the game :O it such fun, but at the same time SOOO frustrating. So im just not sure whether to get it or not :S

 

This isn't on Steam, but this is a D2D sale and the game is steamworks so it registers on Steam: Fallout: New Vegas for $12.50. If you want an extra 15% off to get it for around $10.50 I have a referral code below.

15% off Refer a Friend Code

 

Whoa, may have to bite on that one. Been waiting for it to get real cheap, and it hasn't on Steam. So maybe D2D it is!

 

I bit. lol. 10.63 for FO:NV? why not?

 

Can someone take it for me, i will send money via paypal immediately?

 

I don't think it works that way. You will have to activate it from your PC from whatever location you're at.

I just bought it for $10.63 too, great deal. My rule of thumb is $1/hr of entertainment. So if I can get 10 hrs and change I'm in good shape.

 

I tend to think that way too. I spent $9 at the theater for a 2 hour movie, all my games I get more entertainment per dollar. I spend. better investment IMO. Unfortunately, my girlfriend would rather spend the time and money on the movies. haha.

 

They don't give you a steam key that you can activate through any steam account?

Because I really want this but I'm an aussie so it's blocked for us

 

its blocked for australia but not the Holy see xD

 

basically the D2D thing makes it auto-register to steam.

since the game is steamworks.


Not sure how it'd act with an aussie steam account though.

 

It's just latches to you're steam account either way. It's just like you bought it through steam.



EDIT: 2 indie variety packs are 80% off, and F.E.A.R. collection is 50% off (Fear 1 and 2 plus expansions) F.E.A.R. 3 is 10 % off.

 

INdie variety pack is cool, I've tried the games there and they seem fun.

I just bought Beat Hazard Ultra though, that game is beast.

 

I think I'll buy the F.E.A.R. Pack. Always wanted to play that game. I beliebe I would be playing it on about 2 months (because all the games I got on q
queue), but is worth I think

 

when i go to buy fallout on direct2drive it wants to charge me 49.99, and if you click on the title it says the same. maybe they made a mistake?

 

It was just a one day deal.

 

Left 4 Dead 2 on daily deal! OMG... I've been waiting for this!

 

WOW!!! Good catch! I might pick this up since it's only about $7.

How about FEAR 2? The "FEAR" package is only $10 (FEAR 1 + FEAR 2 + ALL DLC = 5 items total). Curious to know if FEAR2 has an enjoyable story or not (I thought FEAR 1 was enjoyable; as a reference).


Thanks!

 

From a story perspective: FEAR > FEAR 2 > FEAR expansions (Extraction Point, Perseus Mandate)

IMO, of course.

 

Alice: Madness Returns is on steam!!!

Does not include the DLC or the first alice AFAIK, still looks pretty good

 

I'll wait for alice to go on sale within a year... xD

Is a GREAT game. One of the few which user's metacritic is FAR superior than Critics. So, Users LOVE it, and THAT is important

 

I haven't seen that site before. But you have to actually look at who is doing the reviews and what they say. Like I looked at TW2 and "The Escapist" gave it a bad score because the person obviously didn't know how to play hard games like these and didn't use all the resources to their disposal (which you need to, to defeat enemies). I understand that TW2 is hard and it takes a while to get used to, but the guy said that because of it, he couldn't enjoy the rest of the game lol. He probably didn't even hit "j" and read the tutorial section...

 

Jajajaja... LOL.

That site is from where Steam gets the metacritic (points) for the games to display on the store page

 

I know some people do not like g4, but I find that everyone of their reviews, for the games I have played, has been pretty spot on. They didn't give Alice and good score at all. Read the Pros and Cons.

Alice: Madness Returns Review for Xbox 360 - G4tv

 

Today's Daily Deal:
Monday Night Combat: $3.75

That price is real tempting.

 

Did anyone end up getting Monday Night Combat? Might have to buy it if i have some NBR members to play it with.

 

I already have it, for 3.75 you can't go wrong.
It's really fun, get it!

 

Got fear collection, even though i already played them all,(but for $10 i guess they are worth another shot ) the funny part is that i will not actually play them until 2 months, moved down all the way down of my game's queue

 

Nothing to do with Steam, but at Gamersgate they have Bulletstorm on sale at 60% off. Too bad can't register on Steam (the game is not available on my zone) and I already spent all my "game money" for the actual month :b

P.S.: GoG just began their " staycation"... is madness!!

 

Reading the tutorials (which don't, I might add, prepare you entirely for what you must do to win fights in this game) don't make the UI any more intuitive, or the combat any more responsive.

 

LOL @ GoG sale. I went there and I own all but 10 games in that sale. But I might bite at $12 for BulletStorm. Would prefer Steam, but $12...
