Steam XMAS Sale 2012

[Speakman]

That Codex is a bit of a willy chaser.

Its what he does when he catches them that worries me...

[oefox]

Have so many unfinished games that i'm screwed, I only just started assassin creed 2 that I bought during the easter sale then proceed to buy towns and chivalry last week that put an end to that game.

Still want to finish Skyrim too but have to start a new character due to a windows reinstall.

I want farcry 3, I loved 1 and 2 even for all their quirks, but doubt 3 will go on sale due to it being new and pre-release.

AC2 is worthwhile, assuming it hasnt aged badly.
Towns any good?

My backlog isn't tooo bad. It contains a lot of highly rated, in their time, games that I cbf playing.

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

Towns any good?

In concept. But the UI is terrible.

I bought it because I wanted to try it out because it was based on dwarf fortress, however the interface is very unpolished, and the tutorials are not very good. However with a bit of work it could be a very good game.

[oefox]

Towns is DF with a nicer UI, gfx, and slightly less convoluted mechanics, however, Towns is still in development so it's not yet fully polished.

In saying that, like DF, it can destroy time.

[[Paranoid]^]

Oh dear, my Steam balance won't survive this!

Also in my opinion Towns is a great buy even though it's only a beta/alpha; if you've got a desire to build a little town complete with farms and mines and lots of crafting then Towns is a no-brainer. In addition it was Greenlighted onto Steam so it's already community approved.

[Aloysius]

I shall get towns once it has been fixed up a bit.
Meanwhile: What get now? Nothing tickles my fancy really.

Doesn't mean shit, just means an arbitrary number of people may be interested. If every steam user voted, it may mean something

[Benji77]

just got Sleeping Dogs and Max Payne

[Scunner]

I got Spec Ops: The Line this morning (50% off even though its not part of today's deals) and Max Payne 3.

I guess you're right, I just say that because it was one of only a handful of games I voted for and I was really pleased when I saw it get through.

It offers you slightly more impetus to buy a game than just something that randomly pops up with no metacritic or any word of mouth support.

Speaking of random games I just picked up "Intrusion 2" a side scrolling shooter that's kind of Metal Slug meets a highly detailed physics engine while you ride around on a giant wolf. Anyway it's actually really fun! Go watch the trailer anyway;

I'm keen on MP3. But I think I may wait until the Winter sale. They will probably put some of the top shelf titles on at even cheaper prices.

Hmmm... Didn't think of that.

[Emrico1]

I just impulsed the fuck out and bought max payne

[Benji77]

Yep, that's how I got most of my steam games.

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

I impulsed the fuck out and bought a graphics card.

Yeah.

[Emrico1]

What did you get SM?

It might get a bit cheaper but jeez, that's cheap enough.

//edit Geezus! Max Payne 3 requires 30Gb of free space!? Aint nobody got space fo' that!

[Retardobot]

I wish I could impulse the fuck out.

[Mayhem_Lee]

Arma II Combined Operations..... Should I be getting this for DayZ $15?? Or just wait for the standalone release and get that?

Wait, its so close.

Current dayz is pretty dead tbh.

Sweet will wait for release and be fodder along with all the other new noobs.

[Emrico1]

My impulse was dashed by a 30 fucking gig download.

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

You should totaly download that using your browser. That way it'll go all the way to 99%, then fail.

Man, that would be so exciting.

WTF? Looks like that wont be getting installed to my SSD.

I've hit my cap too :/
Wonder if it's on the telstraclear server?
