Seriously, shit like the THQ pack (20 games) is down to $50. All those games individually cost $420.

I love you Valve. :golfclap::woop::neckbeard:

Why? I mean it is a good game that you should buy anyways, but it is not on sale.

TeeKup

I'm still new to steam.....haven't really had time to search it for games I wanted. I'm seriously considering buying the THQ pack though...

You missed EA week, so I wouldn't expect to see either of these two during their summer sale. :x

Probably. 1999 was the only great unreal. 2004 is okay and the others blow.

UT2004 is the best Unreal Tournament by a mile in my books, followed pretty closely by UT3. I didn't like the original :C

Kyle
June 25th, 2010, 01:03 PM
Should I get Alpha Protocol now at $33.49 or wait until the Christmas sale where it will inevitably be cheaper?

I think it was $33.49 during the EA week. :(

UT3 lowers the value a bit :-3

Oh look Jedi Knight Collection still for $20. If you don't have that already, you must hate video games or something.

It's worth it for the mods alone... and I assume you never played XMP for Unreal 2

Well, they want people to pay full price for that shit, right? OMG WOW! A $1.5 dollar drop on the resurgence pack, this is a revelation! Get real Activision. Who the hell will suddenly give in because it's almost two dollars less to buy shit that should have been free.

Anyone wanna buy the 4pack? It's 30.60 (I think) which rounds up to $8 USD for each person.

The L4D2 sale (according to kyle) goes on until 1PM EST tomorrow, so if there's any three(3) people wanting to get it now...well, it's going to end pretty soon.

Fuck, I would have gotten in on that and paid you through paypal, but I was greedy and went ahead and bought it already. That and we'd need to find more people who are interested within the next 36 minutes.

It ends in 13 and a half hours.

Amit

Oh shit, I was so afraid I'd miss the deal that I failed to look at the time counter haha.

AND OMG. I just finished watching Shaun of the Dead on the Movie Network. Now I'm pumped to play L4D2, but I gotta wait 5 mins for it to finish downloading.

Both L4D games are worth it if you have friends to play with.

Can't say much about campaign but it's ok at first with your friends. If you keep a group of friends to play versus with left 4 dead 2 is the funnest online game imo.

Don't play the LFD2 with people you don't know. The game sucks if you play with people who don't know what they are doing or are just plain being assholes.

Timo
June 27th, 2010, 10:25 PM
ty to p0lar bear who gifted me (paid him back) Max Payne 1 & 2. Retarded how it isn't avaliable to buy on steam in NZ but you can get someone to gift it to you.

Corndogman

If i didn't already have L4D2 for xbox i'd get it. Although I think its only really fun to play it with IRL friends at one location, playing online just isn't the same to me.

Holy crap. ME2 for only 24 bucks! Whoever doesn't have this game has no excuse not to get it now.

Also Red Faction Guerrilla for only $5.

Now I just need BFBC2 to go on sale!

And God said "Thou shall fornicate with Tali'Zorah vas Neema." And those with intelligent minds did heed this divine command, and they were better for it.

Shatter is pretty damn cool.

e: Ugh, steam is retarded. It'd cost me $30NZD (100NZ down to 70) less to get one of you guys to buy BC2 and gift it to me, instead of buying it myself. It doesn't make any sense - how can they justify that price difference when there's no difference at all in cost to them?

ee: ME2 is twice the price here, even with the sale o_o. I guess i'll start looking at the US site to check these deals out before I pay way too much.

Anyone have any recommendations? I'd like to pick up a game or two, preferably ones under $10.

A couple of the codemasters games look pretty good. Is Operation Flashpoint any good? Fuel?

Bought Bad Company 2 ($33.49), Audiosurf ($2.50), Introversion pack (Defcon, Uplink, 2 other casual games, all for $5), Bioshock 1 ($5), and World of Goo ($5).

Also bought the L4D2 4-pack as a gift for my friends.

Thankfully I have relatives in Canada who were able to buy the games at the U.S. sale price and gift them to me, then I wired over my payment.

Corndogman
July 6th, 2010, 07:13 PM
Got Red Faction Guerrilla ($5), and I get 1fps while playing woohoo. Also picked up Killing Floor and Thief. Killing floor is too fucking hard, I went and played L4D2 after 10 min.

iizahsum
July 6th, 2010, 07:31 PM
I just got L4D2, picking up blacklight tango down tomorrow.

Killing floor is really hard when you first start playing, it's a game you progressivly get better at. Kinda hard to get into but once you understand it it can be fun.

Steam is iizahsum

Corndogman
July 6th, 2010, 08:12 PM
Yeah, each time I played I was able to last a little bit longer. I like the open maps because its easier to run away.

iizahsum
July 6th, 2010, 08:39 PM
another thing, don't underestimate the power of the pistol, you can fire it a very fast rate and get some nice headshots. good way to save cash and get a better weapon early.

Always make sure your system meets the minimum requirements. Your video card won't be able to play games with very many graphical settings turned on.

Corndogman
July 8th, 2010, 05:36 PM
It meets the minimum, but minimum isn't always playable. I knew I most likely wouldn't be able to run it, but its still gonna be there next time I upgrade. Either pay $5 now or full price later.

sdavis117
July 8th, 2010, 06:05 PM
Actually Red Faction will be a hog on whatever you use to calculate physics, whether that be your CPU or GPU, considering Red Faction is pretty heavy when it comes to physics, so much so that it is calculating even the strength and integrity of undamaged buildings.

I am in a similar predicament; I bought BC2 while it was on sale, but am only getting 20 FPS even with all settings on low. Utterly unacceptable for multiplayer.

Let me guess, Singleplayer runs on a solid 35FPS with everything turned up, but when you hit multiplayer it mysteriously shits itself? I'm having the same problem on my old computer.

Cortexian
July 9th, 2010, 07:23 PM
Well multiplayer is a lot more taxing on your computer than single player. After all, the devs can control what happens in single player, and optimize the game accordingly... Multiplayer happens differently every time you play.
