I hope I win but I will most likely not. Because my life is a pathetic excuse of an existence.

NoJabbaNoBogRoll 11-27-2010 03:55 PM

Left 4 Dead 2 is only £3.75 today. Anybody who doesn't already own it should immediately grab it.

Xero 12-21-2010 11:59 AM

*Bump*

New deals until January 2nd. SMB is $3.75 for another hour or so.

SlickyTrickyDamon 12-21-2010 12:15 PM

$39.99 for every Rockstar Game except for Red Dead Redemption.

Xero 12-21-2010 12:20 PM

Steam is ridiculously awesome with these sales. I don't get how they can do all this. I can understand the back catalog going on sale, but they sell current titles for dirt cheap in these sales.

Razzamajazz 12-21-2010 07:54 PM

if only my computer didn't suck ass and i had a little extra money i would be all over this

I would imagine that their cost per unit is very low, due to having digital content only.

When the sales come around, I've bought games that I would never have considered buying at a higher price, so they've made extra money there.

When it comes to current titles, I'm sure they simply want people to get into the habit of using Steam for all their game buying needs. Once you own a game on Steam, you must play it through Steam, so you'll then become aware of everything else they're selling, during your gaming session.

#BROKEN Hasney 12-22-2010 03:31 AM

I have so far bought:

Lego Batman
Burnout Paradise Ultimate Box
Puzzle Quest
The Witcher (wanted to play this for ages!)
The Polynomial

£12 Spent. Madness.

#BROKEN Hasney 12-22-2010 03:38 AM

I don't think I've ever made any bones about being a filthy pirate, but when Steam do stuff like this, this is now my collection:

There's also this which can be redeemed on Steam and you can pay what you like:

It's worth it for Braid alone, but the other games I've never played until now seem great as well.

G 12-22-2010 02:11 PM

i bought that bundle a week ago for a penny and now they sent me an email saying they've added the bundle #1 to my account

#BROKEN Hasney 12-22-2010 04:59 PM

Just got that as well. World of Goo :heart:

Bought Bully and Trials 2 for £4

#BROKEN Hasney 12-22-2010 05:13 PM

If you only buy one game this sale, buy the best RPG ever made. Recettear.

You will not regret it.

Drakul 12-23-2010 10:28 AM

Signed up for Steam the other day when I saw Spore was only £22.49 and securom free. Bought the Creepy & Cute expansion and the Galatic Adventures thing.

Also bought both Abe's Oddysey & Exodus and I'm just DL'ing Audiosurf now.

Kane Knight 12-23-2010 01:04 PM

Spent like 30 bucks and got over a dozen games. Even bought recettear without thinking to check the system specs.

Oops.

Drakul 12-23-2010 01:08 PM

Speaking of system specs, I used that "Can I Run It" website to see if I could run Spore before I bought it. It said I could run the game at full settings but when I play it on anything other than the lowest setting, it slows down to a crawl.
Same thing happens with Audiosurf if I go any higher than the 2nd highest setting or add any graphical filters like "paint" or whatever.

#BROKEN Hasney 12-23-2010 01:14 PM

Upgrade drivers and see if that does anything.

Boomer 12-23-2010 01:20 PM

Picked up Blood Bowl Legendary today. Considered Darkstalkers and Dead Rising 2, but I'll just wait for lower drops on the consoles.

#BROKEN Hasney 12-24-2010 04:51 AM

Was just browsing through some indie games and saw The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom for 39p so grabbed it.

Kane Knight 12-24-2010 05:51 AM

PB Winterbottom was a game I appreciated for its artistic style, but really didn't "love."

Reduced is great, but EA are giving Burnout Paradise away free.

Mike the Metal Ed 12-24-2010 11:14 AM

The Telltale Holiday Pack has me tempted btw, are the Sam and Max games any good?

Boomer 12-24-2010 11:30 AM

I'm a huge Sam and Max fan. I've played all of the seasons, as well as Hit the Road, and they are a lot of fun. Certainly not difficult, but a nice three hours per episode for some good laughs.

Could be the UK store only, came up for me as £4.99, then reduced by £4.99.

Mike the Metal Ed 12-24-2010 11:50 AM

Definitely gonna grab the Odd Box too, been waiting an age to play Stranger's Wrath.

Xero 12-24-2010 12:01 PM

I'd probably pick up the Oddbox if I didn't already purchase the two Oddworld games for like $2 when they were first released on Steam. Have Munch's Oddysee and not that interested in Wrath.

Oh. My computer probably couldn't handle it anyways

#BROKEN Hasney 12-24-2010 01:40 PM

Just got Saints Row 2 for £2.50

G 12-24-2010 01:44 PM

that's a great game. can't wait for sr3

Xero 12-24-2010 01:47 PM

Should I pick up Borderlands? Is the GOTY worth it for $25?

G 12-24-2010 01:49 PM

Considering the GOTY comes with $40 of DLC, I'd say so. Borderlands is easily worth $25 by itself. Gets extremely fun when you play with friends.

Jura 12-24-2010 01:57 PM

Alone it seems repetitive and tedious after a while. It's much better with other people.

G 12-24-2010 02:07 PM

Yeah, I hated it at first. But then 3 of my friends got it and I've put more time into it than I did Modern Warfare 2. I have like 8 days clocked across both platforms

Requiem 12-24-2010 03:43 PM

considered buying that package for $79. borderlands and DLC, bioshock 1 and 2, bunch of sports games including new ones like nba 2k11, and just a generally nice collection of games I wouldn't mind owning.
