Steam Weekend Deal Thread

[crazyD]

Anyone else interested in a Darkness 2 four pack? Played through the demo today and had a good, if not amazing, time. Figure this might be worth the $37.50.

[Lance Uppercut]

Get Games has Deus Ex for $15, and it registers on Steam.

I didn't ask for this, but I'll sure as hell buy it anyway.

I had some extra cash burning a hole in my wallet, so I went ahead and got this. I've never played Deus Ex before, is it necessary to understand what's going on in this sequel?

[Blue]

It's a prequel so you should be fine.

[MagGnome]

Oooh! Me! Pick me! :D

Have you gotten one yet? I didn't go online at all yesterday, so I didn't see your message until now.


Deal of the day: The Wonderful End of the World for $2.49 (http://store.steampowered.com/app/15500/)

Well worth the price for a fun Katamari-ish game. I had a ton of fun with it.

Agreed. The Wonderful End of the World was the first game I ever got on Steam, and it was a lot of fun to play.

[Ravenlock]

I also now have a Steam mobile invite to hand out, so feel free to snag it up if you want it.

[Serapth]

For Android, or does it not matter? I'll take an Android if you've got.

[violent]

Doesn't matter.

[Serapth]

Sent. :) (tooshort)

Thanks 2short

[PathMaster]

I finally got my access. First code did not work. Tried it again today and they sent a new code automatically and it worked fine.

[bone_matrix]

I also have an invite for anyone who would like it.

I like the look and feel of the app, just wish I could view my purchased games.

[MagGnome]

I would also like to be able to view my library and hours played.

[Banacek]

I have to say, the Steam app is completely useless to me. I have no desire to look up anything related to my game library that isn't actually gaming while I'm mobile.

[Ravenlock]

It's a new way to monitor their sales and give them your money. That's all it needs to be, as far as they're concerned, I'm quite sure. ;)

[MagGnome]

It's fun to check in on what friends are playing and chat them up.

Then again it's yet another way for people to start chatting with me while I'm trying to play a game. :p

[Banacek]

Oh, I guess I need to start being social on Steam :D

That's the last thing I need :)

[Ink Asylum]

I would often check on the holiday sales using the safari browser on my iPhone. This'll be much easier. I could also see using it to chat sometimes. There are a couple people I primarily chat with through Steam.

[Arphahat]

Ya, it is neat that my contacts that are mostly Steam only are available more easily now.

I need a library feature, since I often am unsure if I own a sale item I am considering.

[TheKeck]

Well, if you click on a game it will tell you that you own it.

[roboninja]

So Duke is on sale for $4.99. Still don't think I'm going to grab it.

[Hawkzombie]

So Duke is on sale for $4.99. Still don't think I'm going to grab it.

I think I'm gonna grab it, if only to own it. For 10 bucks I get it and all the DLC...seems worth it to me.

[Wolvie]

I nabbed it. I had fun with the rental and didn't finish it. I can justify $5 for good "bad" game. :)

Edit: also, Glow Fish is on sale for less than $3. It's simple relaxing fun. I am enjoying it.

[Spigot]

Nope. Duke still hasn't dropped to my predetermined pricepoint - $2.50. I'll buy it for that much. No more.

[Arphahat]

Flotilla is a game by the same guy who made Atomic Zombie Smasher. I had a bunch of fun with that one and it is an easy recommendation at $2.50.

Duke, however, needs to be $1 or less to tempt me.

[MagGnome]

Agreed on Flotilla. It's a fun little game.

[crazyD]

I would say Duke Nukem is not worth $5. That is just a really bad game, no matter how you paint it. It's just plain really shitty in every possible way.

[Spigot]

Exactly. I'll pay as much for it as my daily coffee & donut. That's it.

[Widgetcraft]

So Duke is on sale for $4.99. Still don't think I'm going to grab it.

I bought it for a dollar. I consider that a wasted dollar, in hindsight.

[Stmfuller]

I would say Duke Nukem is not worth $5. That is just a really bad game, no matter how you paint it. It's just plain really shitty in every possible way.

$2.49 and i"m in.
The only reason I'd pick it up at this point is for the DLC to check out.
No reason to play the game proper again.

[Wolvie]

You guys seriously need to try Pineapple Smash Crew. It's all 8-Bit/retro/explodey goodness. I love it and I think you will too if you like top down shooters.

[Spigot]

Dang it. You're the second person to rave about PSC. I might just have to grab it.

[Wolvie]

Dang it. You're the second person to rave about PSC. I might just have to grab it.

I would highly recommend you do. It's a very good game.

Maybe it's the lack of sleep, but just to prove a point I might gift it to someone. It's so good I want to pay for it twice!

[Ravenlock]

I wouldn't turn that down, I guess. :p

(Though I will check it out for myself eventually either way.) ;)

[Wolvie]

Hmmm... maybe I should hold a contest. Like tell me Halo is awesome and win!... or something. ;)

[MagGnome]

Halo suxxorz.

[MagGnome]

Do I win? :D

[Wolvie]

Do I win? :D

Yep!










You win a bird!

Edit: You also won the opportunity to buy the game yourself! Aren't you llllluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucky!?

[Gorvi]

And now this is stuck in my head:

It just won't go away.

[J Arcane]

Seriously guys, Pineapple Smash Crew is indeed rad.

It's like Cannon Fodder mashed with a roguelike. It's so fun.

[Wackman3000]

You had me at Cannon Fodder. Sold.

[Ravenlock]

You guys seriously need to try Pineapple Smash Crew. It's all 8-Bit/retro/explodey goodness. I love it and I think you will too if you like top down shooters.

(Also posted to Wolvie's giveaway thread, where he gifted me the game - thank you again sir!)

Okay, here's what you need to know about Pineapple Smash Crew right now.

It's awesome and you ought to buy and play it.

Anyone who has fond memories of Cannon Fodder, know this: I lost a squadmate, and on the next mission he was replaced by a new recruit named Jools.

I am grinning ear to ear. :D

[Lance Uppercut]

Anybody else get the Mortal Kombat Kollection? It's an OK port, but you can tell it was rushed. Control customization is a bit lacking (it forces you to use the arrow keys for movement, and won't allow 2-players unless you have 2 USB controllers), and I had to go into the .ini settings to change the resolution. Otherwise, these were some of the games of my childhood, and I was always an MK fan more than a SF fan back then, so I thought this was a good purchase anyway.

You don't HAVE to use the arrow keys, do you? You can hook up and XBox controller right?

[Lance Uppercut]

I could, but the d-pad is awful for fighting games. I'm actually more accurate with the keyboard.

[Narradisall]

Somehow I was expecting Psychonauts to be on sale this weekend. I mean to pick it up one day....

Maybe it'll be on sale next weekend.

[MagGnome]

Is anyone else having problems with Steam today? The store takes forever load and keeps giving me error messages. I'm trying to add Crusaders II to my wishlist, and I can't even do that.

[Arphahat]

The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom is on sale today for $1.69, normally $5. Grabbed this one ages ago and had a lot of fun. Quirky, silly... and eventually impossibly hard. Still, easy recommendation.

Is anyone else having problems with Steam today? The store takes forever load and keeps giving me error messages. I'm trying to add Crusaders II to my wishlist, and I can't even do that.

I had some trouble. My friends list isn'k able to connect to the Steam servers and the store wasn't working, either.

[MagGnome]

I'm glad to hear it's not just me. Hopefully it's fixed soon.

[Spigot]

There was a power outage in one of their server farms according to the Stram Support twitter feed. They're in the process of bringing things back online now.

[boratika]

The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom... easy recommendation.

Those are exactly my sentimonies.

[Spigot]

Winterbottom hurts my braintop.

[Psykoboy2]

Winterbottom hurts my braintop.

I was going to say the same thing. It's all cutesy on the outside and pretty simple in what it wants you to do, but will twist your brain into tiny knots from which you will go slightly insane.

I think it hit me around level 10. So you've got a good 7 or 8 levels of cake walk there to feel like an accomplished gamer. After that, the equivalent of your gamer penis falls off leaving a tiny little vagina where other games will fuck you because this little $1.69 gem made you its bitch.

Easy recommendation.

[MagGnome]

Those are exactly my sentimonies.

This may come as a shock, but I noticed earlier today that I have the game in my library, and I have no recollection of buying it. Hmm...

Psykoboy, your post had me in stitches.

With such a glowing recommendation as that I have to buy it now. Just to see exactly what you are referring to. Damn you.... :D

[boratika]

This may come as a shock, but I noticed earlier today that I have the game in my library, and I have no recollection of buying it. Hmm....

I'm almost sure that you already said that about this game in the past when it came up on sale, and I told you that it should really be like the next thing you play because it's only like two hours long (though I apparently found it easier than other people.)

That is entirely possible. Terraria, Bastion, and now PB Winterbottom are at the top of my queue, after which I'd like to get through some of the adventure titles that I've accumulated.

Amazon is having a Valentine's Day sale, with some games unlockable on Steam. Just giving everyone a heads up.

Linky to the Slickdeal thread. (http://slickdeals.net/f/3944190-Amazon-PC-Game-Download-Deals-for-Valentines-Day-02-14-Borderlands-GOTY-6-99-Magicka-Collection-4-99-COD-MW2-4-99-and-more)

[Arphahat]

Spigot! I summon you!

Tell us of "Dinner Date." It seem eclectic enough that I might try it, but want to hear what you say, first.

[Spigot]

Dinner Date is interesting. It will take about 20-30 minutes of your day but if you're a lonely person, it's probably the best game for you to play on Valentine's Day :)

It's an interactive experience moreso than a game. You just listen to a guy ruminate on his date and wonder if she's going to show up while you fidget.

I liked it for what it was, though, and $2.50 isn't bad.

[MagGnome]

I laughed out loud when I saw that GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas are now available on the Mac. Amazing!

Thanks for the summary. It does sound interesting. I may end up grabbing it.

Why's that, Gnome?

[MagGnome]

It just struck me as amusing that a 10+ year old game finally came out on the Mac.

[SilentScreams]

Why? That just means that it's finally obscure enough for hipster Mac users to enjoy it. :D

[MagGnome]

Ha, you may be on to something.

[muddi900]

As people who were just discussing the merits of Dinner Date, you guys bave no right to call anyone a hipster.

[SilentScreams]

I never discussed Dinner Date. :)

[BigJonno]

Why? That just means that it's finally obscure enough for hipster Mac users to enjoy it. :D

It's GTA, it's never going to be obscure. It is, however, now old enough to be retro, which is almost as good.

[Spigot]

Have a Dinner Date/Dear Esther marathon and you can be the gaming hipster :)

[Wolvie]

Dinner Date... should have watched a video of the "game" before I bought it. I don't get it. I want a refund.

This should have been 50 cents, or a free browser based game. I played it once, uninstalled it and felt the bite of buyers remorse. If I had paid more than $2.49 I'd be pissed at myself for buying it. As it is I'm just disappointed with myself for not doing any research first. Live and learn I guess.

[muddi900]

But you also like the POTC movie*, so the hipster rays are cancelled.

Under The Tuscan Sun is not my favorite movie. I do love that movie, but I wouldn't call it my favorite.

I always thought it was one of the worst Star Wars spin offs produced, personally.

[biosc1]

Under The Tuscan Sun is not my favorite movie. I do love that movie, but I wouldn't call it my favorite.

Ha, my wife and I were just watching that the other day and we didn't get around to finishing it (got...distracted). I should really get a hold of the copy and finish it.

On a side note, my wife, with her parents, had coffee with the writer of the book in Tuscany at her house ;)

Well isn't that fancy. :p

I do love that movie though. It always makes me feel all warm inside.

Warning! Bunch of Heroes is on sale for 50% off, $5. It is NOT worth it. I bought it cheap during the Xmas sale and stopped as soon as I got the achievement. Really, it could have been fun, but it really wasn't.

So... Dear Esther looks kinda interesting. I like exploration. The lack of anything to do other than wander around and look at stuff kinda concerns me though. If it was $5 I might pull the trigger. But $10? ... Not so sure. Anyone have any impressions?

[MagGnome]

Many have been singing it's praises since it was first released as a mod a few years ago. I know that Spigot and Ravenlock have both been very impressed with the new version.

There is no action, nothing except walking around basically, so keep that in mind. The trailer made me want to play it soon, but I really like "artsy" games like that.

Isn't "artsy" the last generation's "hipsters"? ;)

[Ravenlock]

Dear Esther is maybe less a game you can play and more a place you can go. If that description turns you off, I'd say stay away. If it intrigues you, know that it's an incredibly well-designed place with a haunting and beautiful aesthetic and story.

There's a fight to be had about what exactly constitutes a "game" and whether Dear Esther's lack of conflict or fail-able objectives disqualifies it, but that fight doesn't particularly interest me. It transported me into its world and story in a way no other medium could do, and it earned my $10.

[TheKeck]

I'm pretty sure I played the mod of Dear Esther and while I thought it was quite interesting as something free, I can't ever see spending money on it. Maybe they've significantly expanded on what they had before, though?

[Ghostbear]

Sounds like it would just irritate me.

But $10? ... Not so sure. Anyone have any impressions?You hated Dinner Date, didn't you? If you did, I don't think you'll be that impressed with Dear Esther, since it's essentially Dinner Date on an island with gorgeous graphics.

I'm pretty sure I played the mod of Dear Esther and while I thought it was quite interesting as something free, I can't ever see spending money on it. Maybe they've significantly expanded on what they had before, though?They have significantly improved the visuals over the mod. It's definitely not for everyone but if you're willing to pay $10 for what will likely amount to one walk around the island (since I don't know if anyone would go back unless you just want to show it off) then it's worth it. I had no problem paying the $10 but I also was aware of what the thing was before I went into it.

It's a very, VERY linear walk around an island with a fragmented narrative slowly coalescing around you. It's gorgeous (esp. the caves) and it sticks with you after you're done if you are willing to let it just wash over you instead of trying to play it like it's a game.

Hell, it's one of those things where the term game is really a disservice. It's like an interactive art exhibit.

[SilentScreams]

So basically, find a HD video of someone walking around the island and save yourself $10. :D

[Spigot]

So basically, find a HD video of someone walking around the island and save yourself $10. :DEh... there's more to it than that, but yeah. It's like Amnesia where you should be in the dark with the lights off and headphones on to fully immerse yourself in the world it creates.

Like I said, it's most definitely not for everyone, at least not for $10, but if/when it goes on sale for $5 or less, I think everyone should pick it up if only to experience the caves, which are simply stunning. I want the guys who made Dear Esther to get hired by Bethesda or Bioware or somebody doing big RPGs so they can design their underground environments.

[muddi900]

This game looks more interactive that Modern Warfare 3...

[Gorvi]

So Magicka Collection (game + all DLC) for $6.24, worth it for single player only?

[crazyD]

You can get some fun out of Magicka single player, but why? Each additional player you add exponentially increases the fun. This is a game about accidentally murdering your friends. Why would you even want to play it without any?

[Gorvi]

Well, that was my question, if it's even worth it at that point. I rarely have the time to coordinate playing a game with others, so most of my time with it would be spent single player.

[crazyD]

I had some fun tooling around with single player, but completely lost interest in it after playing with friends. Doesn't Steam make coordinating with friends kind of incidental? Just message some people til you have a partner. In any case, there is some fun to be had single player, but I would recommend at least trying the multi.

[MagGnome]

So Magicka Collection (game + all DLC) for $6.24, worth it for single player only?

I wouldn't bother if you are only planning on playing by yourself. I bought the game hoping for a fun single player experience, and I found it to be rather frustrating. It's fun with friends, but by yourself it's just rather tedious, IMHO.

[Wolvie]

You hated Dinner Date, didn't you? If you did, I don't think you'll be that impressed with Dear Esther, since it's essentially Dinner Date on an island with gorgeous graphics.

I was afraid of that. I like the exploration. But just walking around... eh. I think I need a demo.

I think I've decided against it for now, I'm sure it'll be on sale later if I change my mind.

[Arphahat]

I noticed this a bit late, as there is only an hour left of this sale, but Sequence is 50% off, on sale for $2.50.

It is a music rhythm game that is also an RPG-type thing. It was fun and worth the money.

[Suave Peanut]

Sequence is, indeed, a good bit of fun.

[Arphahat]

Today's Deal is Mirror's Edge (http://store.steampowered.com/app/17410/). 75% off, selling for $5. I had a fun time with this one. $5 is the cheapest I've seen it go, so if it appeals to you, this is probably when to act.

Serious Sam games are also on sale. I really enjoyed both 1 & 2 when I played through them recently. The 3rd is 66% off for $13.60. I have enough other games that I am going to hold off for now.

[Stmfuller]

Serious Sam 1,2,3 plus all the indie games are 66% off.
I bought them all seperately
Son.of.a.bitch
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/13606/

[MagGnome]

I bought Mirror's Edge for $5 over two and a half years ago, and I have yet to play it. I could have waited all this time. :p

[J Arcane]

Has anyone played the Random Encounter? I'm kinda tempted, especially for $1.70.

[Serapth]

Are Serious Sam games playable, or do they cause motion sickness like quake 1. I find playing old fps games tricky, now that my mind expects more.

[MagGnome]

Serious Sam came out years after Quake 1.

I'm not sure what about them makes you sick though, so I guess I can't help you. I've never gotten motion sickness from any FPS, including Serious Sam.

[Arphahat]

The HD ones felt modern to me. But, I was never bothered by motion sickness in the games, so it is hard for me to say.

[Serapth]

The HD ones felt modern to me. But, I was never bothered by motion sickness in the games, so it is hard for me to say.

I never wa until I went back in time. Now even The Darkness seems unnatural to me, which causes it. Playing Doom on Xbox was almost torture.

[Stmfuller]

I bought Mirror's Edge for $5 over two and a half years ago, and I have yet to play it. I could have waited all this time. :p

the third one made me sick until I figured out how to mess with the FOV. Now everything's hunky dory.
moral of the story is, play with the FOV, it'll help...

[crazyD]

You should be slapped in the face for having not played it yet.

I wrote up a big post about how I disagree with it being called one of the most original games of this generation, but when I read it, I realized it was really pretentious, and I was just picking a fight for no reason.

That said, I'd agree that it's a game that steals from a lot of places, to make something that is fairly unique as a whole. Definitely worth trying.

[MagGnome]

You should be slapped in the face for having not played it yet.

I meant to play it around the time I bought it, but I never got around to it. The same story as half my gaming library.

At this point I hate even pointing it out. I'm sure half of you rolled your eyes when you heard about another game I own but haven't played. One day...

[Lint of Death]

Has anyone played the Random Encounter? I'm kinda tempted, especially for $1.70.

I have, it's fun, very simple yet creative, and it's got a great sense of humor. Oh and it can be very very hard. Typical Vlambeer.

Serious Sam 3:BFE has a fourpack, that drops the price to ~$10.20.

Hey, what you do with your money is your business. I just wanted to point out that by not playing it, you've missed out on one of the best games this generation.

I picked it up for $5 at some point as well. Played the demo, just not the full game.

[Arphahat]

The Baconing (http://store.steampowered.com/app/18070/) is 75% off today, for $3.74. It looks interesting, but I know nothing about it.

Spigot, I summon you! Tell us about "the Baconing."

Also, the Alpha Funding bundle (http://www.indieroyale.com) contains some interesting games. I've only looked at one of them so far, "Towns", and it seems to be like Dwarf Fortress but with graphics, mouse support and a user interface. I haven't finished the tutorials yet, but it seems very promising so far.

[Spigot]

Did you like Deathspank? Or Deathspank 2? Because The Baconing is just Deathspank 3.

I personally loved all three games. They're not perfect, but they scratched that loot-fest/hacky-slashy kind of gameplay itch that I'd get from time to time and the story and VO was silly and funny and poked holes at RPG tropes in a pitch-perfect manner.

And for $3.74, you'd be doing yourself a disservice for not getting it.

[Karak]

Deathspank's series of games is amazing guys. Get them games, get them now. They have one aspect to them that really shines through.
Fun.

Also i never knew that Poxnora was on Steam? God damn. I will be busy this weekend.

[MagGnome]

Hey, what you do with your money is your business. I just wanted to point out that by not playing it, you've missed out on one of the best games this generation.

Fair enough. I will play it at some point, for certain.

[SilentScreams]

PoxNora is in the middle of a huge revamp at the moment. They're nerfing a lot of stuff hard to try and counteract the expansion power creep that happened under the last designer. So far it's working pretty well, even if they do seemingly hate Ironfist (making our Northern Cross Templar and our Crusader terrible? WHY?!)

The game is less about who can one-round the other guys powerful units first now. Damage as a whole has gone way down.

It is simply a great damn game. Man the hours...days even that I have spent playing Poxnora since its first release gets me a little whoozy thinking about it.

[SilentScreams]

It's not the time spent that does that for me...it's the money! Worth every penny though. One of the most unique and fun strategy games around.

[Arphahat]

And Yet It Moves (http://store.steampowered.com/app/18700/) is the daily deal today, 75% off on sale for $2.49.

It is a fun concept, and it was worth a playthrough, but my general feeling about this one is "meh." Sounds and music in the game don't do it for me, the graphics are an interesting style, but just OK. And, the gameplay is OK, but, meh. Hard to nail down exactly what it is about it that doesn't excite me, but there you have it.

[Wolvie]

And Yet It Moves... I read the description:

And Yet It Moves is a puzzle-platformer, set in a unique world, made of ripped paper. Within the paper-collage you can jump, run and last but certainly not least: rotate the world...

That's as far as I got before I thought: MEH!

[biosc1]

It is actually an enjoyable puzzle game. Worth it for that price for sure.

[Hawkzombie]

Red Faction Armageddon is $5 from Amazon Downloads which is then activated on Steam.

Amazon Link (http://www.amazon.com/THQ-40690-Armageddon1-Armageddon-Download/dp/B0052YFO2S/ref=dsvrt_myd_asin_block)

[Ravenlock]

I'm in on that for $5. It's not as good as Guerrilla but it's got some good ideas.

Atom Zombie Smasher (http://store.steampowered.com/app/55040/) is the deal of the day from yesterday. You still have about an hour to get in on this one. 75% off, selling for $2.49.

The game has great style, music, comedy and is fun to play. I almost wish I didn't have it so I could get in on this deal. No-brainer recommendation from me.

[Arphahat]

So, Civ 5 and dlc is on sale today. I've been thinking about this one for awhile and might bite.

If I wanted everything, would the GOTY edition be it, or is that missing DLC?

[J Arcane]

Protip: If you take advantage of the Cradle of Civilization pack, you can get all the DLC for about 50 cents cheaper than buying them individually.

Arphahat: The GOTY edition contains some, but not all, of the DLC. You'd still be missing the Korea and Wonders of the World DLC. You're still saving a good chunk of change, but you'll need to spend another $2.48 to complete the set.

[MagGnome]

$10.55 for the Civ V DLC I don't own (everything except Polynesia and Genghis Khan) seems like a pretty good deal. Then again I'm not sure if/when I'll actually use all of it, so I'm not sure if I should bite or not.

[LordDon]

Damn, at those prices I had to pick up a few cheap DLC for my Civ5. You can get maps free so I just got the extra civilizations. (though I'm sure the mod community has gone nuts on those too)

[MagGnome]

I nearly paid the $10.55, but I ended up clearing all of the DLC from my cart. I figured that it will be on sale again, I'm not going to get to all of that content any time soon, and with my currently limited budget it was a rather poor use of funds. I'll definitely pick them up down the road during another sale.

Civ 5 is a great game, however I don't see the DLC as adding too much to the game. When you can start from scratch and have the game play out in almost an infinate number of ways. It's going to be a hella long time before you're going to be bored with the default set.
and at that point, you'll probably be done with the game.

[LordDon]

I think I spent $4 total. I'll skip lunch one day at Carl's Jr. or something.

[SilentScreams]

I remember really liking the way Polynesia played in Civ 5...if they're the ones I'm thinking of. The ones with the Moai Statues.
You basically build them as tile improvements along the coast and the bigger unbroken chain of them you make the bigger the bonus for each tile.

[MagGnome]

I actually have that pack. I should give it a go.

[torrefaction]

I never got to play the end game for civ 5 because the calculations on my goddamn Phenom X6 took too fucking long between turns. Drove me insane.

[Arphahat]

Today's deal of the day is a wash, since it is Burnout Paradise (http://store.steampowered.com/app/24740/) 75% off for $5 and everyone already has it.

...wait, you don't have it, yet? WTF? How many times do I need to make violent threats that I am unable to follow through on to get you to buy this? Best. Arcade. Racer. Ever. Get it, or I WILL finally get around to traveling to your area of the world and murdering you. It is THAT GOOD.

[BLeeP]

Hmm. Really wondering if I should pick up Burnout Paradise or not.

[Gorvi]

Hmm. Really wondering if I should pick up Burnout Paradise or not.
Do it, especially if you haven't played it, just don't go into it expecting a Burnout game. It plays a lot more like the Midnight Club series with a hint of Burnout.

[violent]

It's a really good game but if memory serves correct, the servers are offline so many of those additional cars are impossible to get as are multiplayer games.

[Psykoboy2]

Actually, their servers are still up. That I can find. You should still be good.

[J Arcane]

The bigger issue with the PC version is that a number of the DLC were never released for PC, particularly Big Surf Island, which was the only real game-expanding one they did.

[roboninja]

I was shocked I did not own it; I just happened to actually check. I have it on PS3, so that was probably why, but it's not like I ever fire that thing up unless a Blu-ray is handy anyhow.

I have actually gifted this to two people in the past, and still did not own it.

Yeah, it still makes me sad that they didn't manage to get this out on PC.

[Widgetcraft]

Yep, I wasted my fucking money on Burnout. I have the PS3 version, with the Legendary Cars DLC, and I thought, "Hey, I can play one of my favorite games here, and get all the DLC for like $5." Turns out, the "Ultimate Box" is just the basic game, and I don't even have the option of buying the DLC. On top of that, the whole thing is a buggy piece of shit.

Is there a way to get a refund from Steam for this kind of bullshit?

I have been able to get refunds when warranted, even though it is not their official policy. Open a help ticket and explain exactly what your issue is while keeping it professional.

That said, I think that the game is easily worth the $5, but don't have it on the PS3, so I have nothing to compare it with.

[J Arcane]

I've run B:P on like three different machines and never had an issue with bugs at all.

[Widgetcraft]

To begin with, it would crash after the initial loading screen. There are at least four things that can cause this, one of which no one understands and thus cannot fix. For me it was easy enough: I had to run it in compatibility mode for Windows XP. Then I get in the game, and have to watch this long-ass, unskippable cut-scene. Then it crashed again. Guess what I had to watch again? On the second try, fortunately, it worked and I was quick to save it. Still, that was a lot more work than it should have been. I thought not being able to access the store was a bug too, but I guess that's just EA being shitty and taking down the DLC store (brilliant).

I still want to know what I'm supposed to be getting with this "Ultimate Box." Apparently it's not any of the DLC.

[J Arcane]

Burnout Paradise The Ultimate Box on PS3 adds to this with: * An enhanced and improved version of Burnout Paradise on PS3. * New vehicles including motorbikes. * New game modes and challenges * All new offline party mode for 2-8 players * Day to night cycle and weather effects

From an Amazon description.

[Widgetcraft]

So, it's the base game... and the free motorcycle addon. Fantastic.

[muddi900]

No bugs for me, either. It was fun, just not as fun as Burnout 3.

[MagGnome]

I'm pretty sure they didn't release the DLC for the PC anyway, so you're not missing anything.

[Zagrash]

This is a deal at any price (http://store.steampowered.com/app/71166/)...if I didn't already own at least two copies, I'd be ALL over this (I'm still considering it)

[CappinCanuck]

So... Anno 2070 is on for $30. I'm a big Anno fan... and picked up the last after the DRM was removed. Seems like Ubi has kept their claws in the title longer than usual though... still steeped in DRM goodness. Online server crashes that you have to wait 1-2 days to relog and all kinds of other nasties associated with their craptastic DRM.

[Arphahat]

Looks like Train Simulator is finally at a price I might consider it at. Listed on sale for 160% off at a negative $21.00. Still, it might not be enough for me to get it. ;)

They added MYST V: End Of Ages yesterday. It's on sale right now for $8, I think. MYST is my first love in video games and I've never gotten over her. I'm currently running MYST V from the disc, but with some trickery to make it happen. I'll be picking this up likely before the weekend is out.

That is impressive! I'd love to go back and play through the series at some point, including the games I missed (all of them after Riven, sadly). I'd like to re-read the books as well. I have such fond memories of the books and the first two MYST games.


The Longest Journey is amazing.

Yes, it's an amazing, epic adventure. I've gotten a few COGers to play it now, including LordDon and Purple Santa. That's another game I'd love to play through again.

[Wolvie]

Um... I never finished the original Myst. Yeah, I should probably do that some time soon.

[MagGnome]

At the time the ending blew me away.

[Serapth]

Odd, I played about 10 minutes of Myst and thought "Hmmm, this is about as fun as picking out a new desktop wallpaper" and quit.

[MagGnome]

Myth 2 is such an incredible game. I have The Total Codex (includes Myth 1 and 2 and all expansions), but I'm not sure if it works well on modern machines.

Those first two Myst books were awesome! I didn't like the third one so much. Never been a fan of the games, either. I had part of the comic series, and they were good too.

[Spigot]

Man, I would kill for GoG to make the Myth games work well on modern systems. Myth 1 was great but Myth 2 is right up there in my top 10, heck, probably top 5 when it comes to the story.

Which is why I got so mad when they went and did Halo and never looked back at the Myth series. Grr...

[BigJonno]

Myst fascinates me. I remember reading about the game back in the day and taking away two things: that it was immensely popular with non-gamers and that it was absolute shite. Then a few years ago I started hearing about people who genuinely adore it. I reckon it may be the most divisive game of all time.

For my part, I've never played it. I've often thought about picking it up, but then I think it may taint the enjoyment I get from observing people's opinions of the game by getting too close.

[Spigot]

The lore of Myst is really quite fascinating and at the time of its release, it was pretty groundbreaking in terms of using the CD-Rom format and video clips, etc.

That said, I'm one of those people who hate it in principle because of what it did to the traditional point & click adventure genre once all of the clones flooded the market and the first-person slideshows became the defacto 'adventure' game.

Now that both styles of adventure games have pretty good representation in the market and my anger has cooled, I'd really like to give Myst and its ilk a fair shot. I've read a lot of the lore online but I don't think I ever actually finished the first game...

[MagGnome]

The world of MYST has a very rich, fascinating lore. As I said earlier, it's a shame that it wasn't appreciated and expanded upon more. Sure there were five games and three books, but it's never gotten the respect that many other popular universes get.

I don't think that a first-time player of the series could fully grasp the impact that the games had when they were new. The earlier games are really dated now, and it might be hard to appreciate how lush the worlds seemed at the time. I highly recommend the books though, if you can find them, and giving the games a go might be worth it, but could also be frustrating for someone who hasn't played them until now.

[Xerxes]

I looking up the Myst games on wiki, and it brought up a series I miss; The Journeyman Project. I'm shocked and glad I suppose they haven't revamped it.

Oh really? Even though MYST "ruined" point and click adventure games? :p

Never mind that Grim Fandango and The Longest Journey came out after MYST, and they were both incredible. Also Syberia, which was pretty good.

MYST also gave us Amber: Journey's Beyond. Watch out for those bees!

[violent]

Myst was lovely. It had some of the most obscure puzzles that would prove solvable with some dedication and proper note taking. It was damned rewarding.

Yes... we had the odd point and click adventure that came out but nothing like it was back prior to Myst. I know now that it likely was more due to the rise of FPSs than Myst that killed point & clickers, but I've laboured under the false impression that Myst killed my favourite genre (aside from the random gem) for far too long to forgive it gracefully :)

Speaking of Steam, is anyone else having issues with it tonight? It did some downloads of updates for a couple of my games tonight, but now it won't sign me into my account via the client. I can see my library and it says my account name in the top right corner, but if I try to buy anything in the store (I'm tempted by the Spellforce collection and Waveform) it takes me to a log-in screen and doesn't actually do anything :P

It did update when I shut it down and restarted... but still no log-in.

Edit: Never mind. It seems to be working now :)

[crazyD]

Ugh. Myst is the worst. It is a perfect artistic representation of boredom. I can't even see the word "Myst" without nodding off a little. I think seeing all this discussion has lowered my heart rate to dangerous levels. No one say "Riven" or I may not make it.

My Power Macintosh 7500 (http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac/stats/powermac_7500_100.html) was probably THE minimum specs.

Haha, I was just in my housemate's room and she was playing Myst on Steam and I commented how I had never played it but I did get Riven one year for my birthday. On the PS1. Every time you changed to a different island? Had to change to a different disc. I doubt this was as big a deal on the PC, where the tower is likely right beside you, but I was playing in my room and had to get out of bed to change discs. Again, not TOO big of a deal. Until you get to the end of the game and are changing islands all the damn time.

I have one Assassin's Creed coupon left and I'm looking for Clash of Heroes if someone has it.

[Arphahat]

2 Assassin's Creed coupons here. Lemme know.

[Widgetcraft]

I didn't get any coupons. Some of my friends did. Weird.

[JRR006]

It is bizarre. In the last hour or two they took away six, and left me with two. Rude.

So if anyone needs one, let me know. :)

[Spigot]

I got about 5 M&M: CoH coupons.

[Abyssion]

I still have 12 coupons for AC Revelations. I plan on keeping one for myself but I'm gonna wait on buying it till it's closer to expiring.

I'll take one.

[Chris_D]

Clash of Heroes is an awesome game. Played the crap out of it on the DS.

[Suave Peanut]

What's the deal with all the coupons out of nowhere?

[Hawkzombie]

No coupons for me :(

[MagGnome]

What's the deal with all the coupons out of nowhere?

They seem to be all for Ubisoft games, so maybe a secret promotion? Some sort of marketing experiment?

[Abyssion]

My ownership of 12 coupons was a mistake, I now have one in my inventory.

[Zagrash]

I got about 5 M&M: CoH coupons.

I'll take one.

if by any chance you've still got any, I'd probably take one too, I'm a sucker for tactics games

Hmm... Seems that the flood was mopped up. I've only got one CoH coupon now and one for EVE: Crucible.

I'm going to give Violent first dibs on the CoH coupon (just send me an message in Steam, Violent). If he doesn't want it or doesn't get in touch with me before, say, Saturday evening, it's yours, Zagrash.

I'll take it, thanks. Are you on my list? I don't see you.

EDIT: Sent an invite.

EDIT:EDIT: Already got one. Feel free to shoot it over to Zagrash. Thanks.

[MagGnome]

I have one for 75% off Eve: Crucible as well if anyone is interested.

[crazyD]

I only got 3 AssCreed Revels. I feel ripped off.

..ditto...

[Spigot]

There you go, Zagrash. Send me an invite. I'm Spigot (look for Deadpool & The Punisher)

Invite sent, thank you kindly! I could have sworn I was friends with you on Steam already, but apparently not.

Me too. I'll be on later tonight and try to send you the coupon.

Fall Out collection for only $6

Fall Out collection for only $6

Awesome. I just purchased it.

[Wolvie]

Damn it, I already bought Fallout 1 off of GOG. I bought Lara Croft and the Guardian of light instead.

[Spigot]

I think I'd rather have the GoG versions as they tend to come with extras and are tweaked out of the gate. I need to check to see what I have on GoG though because that's a great price.

I had to do the same. I was still tempted to buy them to have them on Steam. But running steam on this old laptop is almost impossible. I guess it saved me $6.

[Hawkzombie]

Huh...Deus Ex is still 75% off. I actually have it, but am wondering if I should get all the DLC for 6 bucks...hmm...

[Spigot]

I grabbed the Dungeon Siege pack. I have disc copies of the first two but held off on the third for a while. Now I can get all three for $10 with the DLC for #3? Sure.
