2011 Steam Holiday Sale DEAD!

[Craig234]

I have Costume Quest on the PS3. It's a good kids game, but I still enjoyed it enough to finish it (rarity).

I wouldn't mind getting the PC version so cheaply to get the new content, but I definitely do not want to have to replay the original.

Can the new content be accessed without replaying the original?

 

[Specop 007]

Huh, so apparently my CC company has put a hold on my card. Checked my account, no weird transactions and balance is good.

Maybe they are doing me a favor....

 

[Edge1]

Recettear, Psychonauts, and Costume Quest bought for my kids. I'll probably spring for Psychonauts for myself over lunch.

At this link:

Oh, they are upcoming achievements. I thought they were extras or something.

 

[pontifex]

I have a funny feeling inside: two days in, and I haven't bought anything. Yet, I feel like I need to buy something--like, it would be wrong if I didn't.

Nothing interests me, at all--but I feel this compulsion to purchase because I expect that I need to.

Is there something wrong with me?

:hmm:

haha. yeah, same here. I want to buy something but nothing interests me or I already have it.

I need to play the demo for Rochard. If it is as cool as it looks, then I will buy that.

 

[maniacalpha1-1]

Damn, Psychonauts controls feel stupid.

Ah well, one game of many that I will get to when I get to it.

6 coals now anyway.

 

[dpodblood]

Nothing in the sales for me yet. Lots of good stuff, but all stuff I've bought in previous sales. And apparently I over paid for DNF. I paid $6.50 and it's now on for $5.

 

[gorcorps]

Double Fine pack looks good. Psychonauts was a great platformer that I played several times over already, and I heard good things about Costume Quest even if it's meant for a younger audience.

 

[rivethead]

Damn, Why do I get the crappy stuff? 3 lumps of coal and a 25% off Valve coupon.

If you don't want the lumps of coal, send them to me! I'll even trade the 50% off Valve coupon I have for coal. And I also have a 33% of CSG games (makers of call of priyapat or whatever that game is) coupon that I'll trade for coal.

I'd much rather have the coal than the coupons. At least the coal gets me a chance to win games on 1/2.

Is Payday: The Heist good as single player without any other live players?

Is Payday: The Heist good as single player without any other live players?

It's OK, but you won't have the same sense of teamwork and cooperation that real multiplayer does. It's designed to be played with other people.

 

[Barfo]

This is when I finally get the Stalker games. Also the new Defense Grid DLC and possibly M&B.

 

[CPA]

Can someone post the objectives today? I can't see them at work.

 

[maniacalpha1-1]

This is when I finally get the Stalker games. Also the new Defense Grid DLC and possibly M&B.

I read a quick blurb about Mount and Blade that says it is an RPG but with no story, just sandbox play. What generates the fun other than combat? Can you capture cities or something?

 

[Soccerman06]

Just looked at the grand prize if you win... every single game on steam. Holy crap

 

[Aikouka]

Woo! I was hoping the Arkham City DLCs would go on sale during this sale!

 

[Dankk]

Picking up STALKER: Clear Sky. I already have the other two, and hopefully I'm currently playing Shadow of Chernobyl right now so hopefully I can move onto Clear Sky. Awesome, awesome games.

 

[SunnyD]

Is it just me or are Steam sales getting lamer and lamer?

 

[colaxs]

Picked up neverwinter nights 2 and grotesque tactics pack..

 

[Dankk]

Is it just me or are Steam sales getting lamer and lamer?

It's not that the sales are getting lamer; rather, the problem is that many of us already own most of these games that go on sale, so it's less exciting. Also, because the indie scene has exploded in the past year or two, there are far more indie games than usual (which can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on who you are).

 

[Barfo]

What were you expecting, Skyrim for $2.50?

Most people who have been into Steam sales for some time already got most of the games they're interested in.

 

[maniacalpha1-1]

Well, 7 coals got made into a 50% off Steel Storm : Burning Retribution. Got raped!

 

[s1njin]

I think I'll be D/L ing Arkham City tonight. 25 bucks - I mean what the hell. I hope they have the bugs worked out for people having awful performance on rigs better than my own.

I'm a little turned of that the dlc is only some challenge maps with the new characters. Was hoping to use them in the campaign.

I'd prefer to use them during the campaign too, but for half off it's not as bad.
