2011 Steam Holiday Sale DEAD!

[IGemini]

I'm kinda surprised I've only gotten away with getting Bastion so far, there's usually one day by this point where I'll stack 5-10 games in a single buy. I might grab Assassin's Creed, heard a lot of good things about it.

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

was thinking about getting Serious Sam, 20 bucks aint bad.

Also AC:Brotherhood seems decent @ 5$

I also am thinking Tomb Raider, heard those last few were great adventure games

SS3 is $12 from here: http://www.getgamesgo.com/category/christmas-shooters

Activates on Steam.

Meh still nothing. I haven't gotten much of anything for myself this sale.

Is GetGamesGo.com safe?
I'm in for $12 if it's legit.

That AAAaaaAAa achievement is HARD. Took me almost 4 hours to get 4 stars on all 6 levels.

Orcs must die! was prob the best impulse buy I've ever did

 

[maniacalpha1-1]

I sprung for Jedi Knight Pack, Republic Commando,Empire At War Gold, and Prince of Persia Forgotten Sands deluxe(includes Sands of Time).

I wanted to get all the Prince of Persia games and more Star Wars games, but I think it's time to budget for the last few days of the sale and leave the rest for Summer. Interested in the Two Worlds games, Tomb Raider, Assassin's Creed and SS3 but I think I'll just see what pops up in the last few days.

They're owned by Eurogamer. One of the biggest game sites in Europe.

I actually won a copy of the game from one of their contests otherwise I would have picked up the game. Still thinking about buying fear 3 from them.

They're also running the little big bunch indie bundle at the moment. Would be the cheapest way to pick up Serious Sam Double D.

call me crazy, but I'm thinking about picking up Half-Life 2! It's been a while since I played it, and I'm really itching for a sci-fi action game (ever since I watched the trailer for Prometheus). I finished ME 1&2, and KOTOR, any other similar games out there?

 

[zokudu]

Friend gifted me Dungeon Defenders.

 

[rivethead]

Finally Assassins Creed Brotherhood. I have been waiting for that one for a while.

Me too. Hooray for Steam!

2 questions:

How much better is AssCreed II over the original? I have the first AssCreed, and it's kinda cool, but ultimately got very boring and repetitive.

Same question goes for Dead Space 2 and Dead Space 1. DS1 bored me to tears; is there any reason why I should buy DS2?

If you found DS1 boring, skip the 2nd. I played both but I really enjoyed both, and in my opinion the 1st had a better story (but DS2 looks amazing).

AC2 improves in every single way. AC1 had okay controls and good idea but ultimately built on a boring game with terrible missions. AC2 changes locations, times, and makes the gameplay actually fun the entire way through. If you liked the free roaming controls and such of AC1 then $5 is well spent on the sequel.

I enjoyed both games and felt the second one was a very worthy successor. Its storyline is better-fleshed & epic, missions a lot more varied, graphics further improved and I just love Ezio's Italian accent.

To side-track a bit, Brotherhood adds in even more side-missions/mini-games. It's a lot of fun though IMHO the main storyline is not as meaty as the previous game as a result. The whole game felt a lot like filler. I personally rate AC2 as the better game (possibly the best, though I've yet to play Revelations).

Ordered it from there, got an email without a key in it. It's blank where it says "your steam key is:" When I go back to the site it says they're sold out of keys and won't take any more orders. Funny... didn't have an issue taking my money a few minutes ago regardless

Emailing them now, hopefully their CS is decent. Pretty terrible first impression :\

 

[Aikouka]

Hmm the Sequence game isn't too bad. I thought it would be some silly card fighting game (something Pokemon-y), but it's more like DDR.

EDIT:

Up to 31 objectives complete so far! My only fully completed day is Christmas, but I don't own all of the games for almost every day (except for 2).

 

[Schadenfreude]

I was thinking about getting in the Serious Sam HD remake action - how populated are the servers still? Are all the SS people playing BFE now?

I don't know, as it's mainly singleplayer oriented, and that's the only mode I've played. Unless your bent on playing online though it's absolutely worth it for singleplayer alone.

 

[NikolaeVarius]

I hope Hearts of Iron is good. Looks interesting.

Sweet...revenge of the titans for $2.49.

Was wanting to play this game but not for $9.99 or $14.99 or whatever it was they were originally asking.

I grabbed it with various other games (including Machinarium) in one of the recent Indy bundles. I paid $10 for, I think, 7 games. all of them activated through Steam.

Revenge of the Titans is awesome, though I haven't played it that much.

 

[zinfamous]

btw: since starting up Skyrim only 2 nights ago for the first time, I have completely forgotten about this sale.



like I care about the coal any more.

by the by: if anyone wants to trade for a 33% off of Game of Thrones Coupon, let me know. Just crafted it from coal.

Thanks for taking one for the team...

I came back to this thread an hour after asking about the legitimacy of the site, and went to order but saw they were out of stock of keys.... digital keys seems like a commodity you don't run out of.

I played it when it ("it" being the non-HD version) was originally released, so not terribly interested in SP campaign.

Of course, back in those days, you'd have to walk uphill both ways and got turnips for presents . . . and we liked it!
