Not yet seen anything but OMG so excite. There's usually a Thanks Giving sale as well isn't there?
This thread will serve as a "this is what I got and what is going" thread.
:D
-
I know my credit card number off by heart now.
Evenz the security codes!

Oh the shame.. me too :-(

nothing more to buy. i bought it all in the summer or winter sale a few months ago. I have a huge backlog of games and yet i still go back to playing anything but the games i purchased..
-
I have a few games I'd love to pick up cheap.
GTA4.
Skyrim (+DLC).
DOOM 3 (BFG Edition).
Max Payne 3.
Saints Row the 3rd.
Anno 2070 Complete.
As well as a few indy titles.

I think i've reached the Steam Games singularity. The rate of game purchase is so high that i'll never be able to finish them all.

Use that to work out what you need to play next.. It's not 100% accurate (counts some DLC's as sepreate games, some mac versions as seperate games etc) but gives you an idea.
-
Anno 2070 Complete
Civ V complete
Maybe the Witcher 2 Complete
Generic AAA Console port that is only worth a tenner
I guess you need to make your profile public for that thing to work. I can't remember what grumkins I was scared of to keep mine private.
-
Hahah
I have never played 61 of my games.
I blame work and sleep.
-
I'm hoping that Dishonored and XCOM go on sale during the Christmas sale. I'm not sure there's is much else I would get at the moment that I didn't get in the winter sale.
-
I didn't know what to expect from Dishonored which usually makes for an opportunity to be pleasantly surprised but I felt underwhelmed.
I hate vague "do this mission 17 different ways" styles of gameplay. I like a decent amount of narrative to quests not "go here and kill this person by stabbing her in the fanny, shoving a tactical nuke in her rectum or drowning her in man-jizz".

I was disappointed by dishonored, Feels unpolished, and that they were too scared of making it like assassins creed so they didn't do things they should have.

Shiittt. Do we reckon the thanksgiving steam sale will be on this weekend? Im going away then.

Dishonored and XCOM
+1

What's your steam account, Winter?
Winterkrieg something something?
-
something like that, I have you as a friend on there, so we can chat about all the hot boys in our school.
-
That Codex is a bit of a willy chaser.
-
I meant girls, promise.
-
That Codex is a bit of a willy chaser.
Its what he does when he catches them that worries me...
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
-
just got Sleeping Dogs and Max Payne
-
I got Spec Ops: The Line this morning (50% off even though its not part of today's deals) and Max Payne 3.
-
Doesn't mean $#@!, just means an arbitrary number of people may be interested. If every steam user voted, it may mean something
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; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJZAzNKZBew
-

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.
-
I just impulsed the fuck out and bought max payne
-
Yep, that's how I got most of my steam games.
-
I impulsed the fuck out and bought a graphics card.
Yeah.
-
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!
-
I wish I could impulse the fuck out.
-
Arma II Combined Operations..... Should I be getting this for DayZ $15?? Or just wait for the standalone release and get that?

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

My impulse was dashed by a 30 fucking gig download.
-
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.

Just got Magicka for $2.50
Win.
-
Magicka is such good value when you can get 3-4 coop going, the sheer fun of terribly timed lightning strikes just ices the cake.
-
Is it me, or is there nothing much really to buy?
-
Buy Hotline Miami, or you will be brutally murdered
Also, Autumn sale is usually shitty, best deals drop for the Xmas sale

Hotline Miami was deliciously addictive.. I played that shit till I finished it and then played it again backwards
and then once with my arm tied behind my back and hopping on the spot.
-
Expecting the sale to start in a few days.
Last years sale started around the 20/21 if I remember rightly.

Steam now sells software. (Accounting, 3d modeling etc)
Costs a bit though.

If I pre-order do I get a collectors edition?

You do. However the collectors edition isn't much better than the standard.
-
CE editions just comes with extra lube with iron filings in it and a slightly dirtier grin on it's face.

Would be more interested in the ce edition of bo peep...

Get hotline miami
Pretty meh sale so far, I've only bought Spec Ops The Line, everything else is either shit or I've already got
-
Fine. I was hoping Anno2070 complete would have a bigger discount. The same with sleeping dogs. Will wait till the end to see if they came up in a flash or something.
-
Spec Ops The Line
What is that like?
Deadlight looked mildly entertaining, but then I found out it was an xbox title.
Is it worth it?
-
Haven't touched it yet, because its xmas and so had two days of this:
(http://iforce.co.nz/i/zzmlpc02.fs1.jpg)
Flatmate played it and liked it
-
I see it has demo. Trying it now.
-
Picked up Mass Effect 2 for SP while OS soon.
-
wut
-
He's going overseas, where you get shot if you use the intermawebs
-
He's going to China!?
-
wut
Yeah, going over seas to work soon, bought some games for single player because the interwebs over there are fucking bad
-
Oh you're coming back to NZ?
(That's a joke and a question)
-
LOL
Sniper: Ghost Warrior 80% off.
Yeah I'd say it's probably worth $2.
-
I've got Arkham City and the Saint's Row 3 package when they were $7.50 for the DLC. Apart from that I've just brought Natural Selection 2, Knights of The Old Republic 2 and Ace of Spades over the last couple of days.
-
So... tell me about Ace of Spades, I've had my eye on that since it was released.
Deadlight looked mildly entertaining, but then I found out it was an xbox title.
Is it worth it?
I decided against it after reading about a whole bunch of issues with the Steam distribution.
Bad port is bad and crashes lots of varying hardware apparently.
Also only 3 hours long, while that isn't so bad I'm also pretty broke and I don't really think it's worth the $7.50
-
Oh you're coming back to NZ?
Yeah man, not selling up or anything...
-
So... tell me about Ace of Spades, I've had my eye on that since it was released.
It's pretty much what you see on the video when you visit it's steam page. A bit TF2 meets Minecraft. Multiplayer matches where there are four classes with different weapons and equipment and all can destroy or build on any part of the map. There are a few different game modes from what I've seen but I haven't really played that much because there are only US servers at the moment and I lag pretty bad. I've had one good round where I didn't have too much trouble and that was pretty fun, but I'd like to see local servers.
On a side note, I want to get XCOM but 33% off doesn't seem like a good deal next to the 50%, 66% and 75% off of everything else. I know it's a recent release, but still ...
-
Got sleeping dogs. Something to play now. (already done a run through of hotline:Miami).

Looked at ace of spades but won't bother tbh, never see anyone playing it on my list
Picked up new worms since it's half, already had the rest of the worms games
Also picked up the walking dead
-
Nobody has bought me the Square Enix/Eidos pack yet.. so I bought a couple of indie games until that happens.
-
I bought, played and enjoyed Spec Ops: The Line. I'd recommend it.

I heard that if you enjoy Spec-ops, it kinda makes you a psychopath :P
As much as I want to see this story everyone goes on about, I can't make myself due to the zzz 3rd person shooter gameplay.

Like the review by Yahtzee says, Spec-Ops is a bit different.
It is like playing Apocalypse Now, but you are Marlon Brando. Or something to that effect
-
Have not heard a single good thing about spec ops until this thread lol, everyone else I know that has it says it is beyond terrible
Walking dead is pretty rad
Jurassic park is fun

I was skeptical going in, but it's not that bad. It's like an FPS, only instead of a gun blocking the lower section of your screen it's a torso.

I didn't say it was excellent, lol.
I played and enjoyed it, and didn't regret the purchase :P
The story is quite cool although it doesn't really play on the 'you make hard no win moral decisions' as much as the description says, it more just takes you along for it. Which is pretty much expected anyway to make the story work, so it doesn't really matter.
-
Am tempted by Civ V and sins of a solar empire. But I probz won't bother.
-
You dicks need to be taking advantage of The Witcher 2 at only $12USD.
-
I have it. Never really got into it tbh.
-

heh, same deal GoG has going on atm.

-
I'd go with GoG. They give you a lot more goodies with the game.
-
I'd go with GoG. They give you a lot more goodies with the game.
Heh, irony.
So now you can get The Witcher 2 for $7.50 USD, and the first one for $2.50.
Whole Witcher franchise for $10.
On the other hand GoG has a daily special of 7 indie adventure games for $20.
(Witcher 2 special in previous post still stands as it's not a daily deal if one still wanted those extra goodies)

Someone tell me about A10 Warthog?

"Most realistic flight model ever" - pretty big claim.

Bought Choplifter HD (http://store.steampowered.com/app/202070/) a while back (jan!), only just now getting around to playing it.
It's actually really cool. I'd recommend it for the current 75% off (not a daily), it's good fun for $2.50 USD (I probably wouldn't recommend at what I paid for it a year ago, it's just an arcade filler game).
DLC choppers are currently 50c rather than a dollar too.
Zombie DLC levels are free!
-
Sweet, got it^
-
Just read IGN's review of A10 and i'll think i'll pass, that game looks immensely hard.
-
Everyone should grab the fable packs, fable one was epic and fable 3 isn't bad either xD
-
I never could get into fable. I should give it another chance maybe.
-
Bought Far Cry 3 and played 10 hours yesterday, kind of feel like it's dumbed down a little from fc2, but the world is more open and not having outposts constantly respawning is good. The environment is not as destructable as the previous either, I really liked blowing away trees and other stuff in fc2.
Bought Rage since it was < $7.50, save that for a rainy autumn day
Deus Ex for $7.50 is a steal for anyone who hasn't got it already.
-
the THQ bundle seems like a fucking good deal.
-
So... tell me about Ace of Spades, I've had my eye on that since it was released.

I fucking knew it looked familiar. It's a studio pickup/fuckup of a free game (which has the same name, so now has 'classic' appended to it).
Last free release 0.75, this one is 1.0 and has apparently had a few of the game mechanics stripped back and dumbed down.

-
If it buy the THQ bundle pack, but already have some of the games, do I get to gift the ones I already have?
-
unsure, but I think so.
Search steam forums. Seems a common question.
-
Last couple of days, all the prosome deals are back.
Picked up Rage, Dead Island & The Walking Dead for $26USD
-
If it buy the THQ bundle pack, but already have some of the games, do I get to gift the ones I already have?
No, pack deals on special do not allow you to gift games you already have.
