Steam Weekend Deal Thread - Page 642

I think Valve's official position is "We'll let these jokers do it so we don't have to bother."

So, today's deal is Hydrophobia: Prophecy, 75% off for $1.25. I was going to mock this one, until I saw a bunch of people on my list already had it and there are two others who want it. Metacritic is 64, so that isn't too promising. For those who have it, is it really any good?

Ravenlock · 09-04-2012, 07:51 PM

I tried Hydrophobia on the XBox Live Arcade, and then tried it again when they re-released it on that platform after claiming to fix all the problems.

It was a waste of the time it took to download it, both times.

So this Game of Thrones pack deal......I don't understand it. I just want the GOT RPG, which is $24.99 at 50% off. But if I buy the pack, which includes Genesis, it only costs $23.80. So if you only want the RPG, it's like Steam will give you $1.19 to take Genesis too.

Perhaps that is a hint at how 'not good' Genesis is?

It's now on greenlight. Already at 10%. I like the fact the trailer still says 2009. I think they're just trying to show just how qualified they were.

Rock Paper Shotgun details how you can fiddle with the new Steam Beta to allow you to choose unique install locations for different Steam games.

Is it just me or was there no Daily Deal yesterday?

It's the Crusader Kings franchise. It never showed up on the sidebar, but you can read about it in the news.

Ah, OK, I thought that was a little weird.

Does it say something that this thread wasn't updated in over a month?

muddi900 · 10-17-2012, 08:14 PM

Yeah everyone already owns games they want.

The deals just haven't been all that great since the Summer Sale. They've just been cycling through the same set of games they've had on sale all year, so there's really nothing new to post about.

Chris_D · 10-22-2012, 07:26 AM

I grabbed Bards Tale the other day. Always meant to play it on Xbox but my system has long been retired along with my copy of the game. So, now I get a second chance.

Gorvi · 10-22-2012, 11:13 AM

As if to illustrate my above point, today's deal is Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

boratika · 10-22-2012, 11:48 AM

Oh sweet. It's one I've never played and apparently they finally made it available here. I'm definitely down for that.

Gorvi · 10-22-2012, 11:56 AM

Vice City? That's been on Steam for quite a while, years I think.
