zomg Fallout 3 GOTY !

I love oblivion, will I have as much fun with fallout :O?

I could never bring myself to finish oblivion, but I've played through FO3 at least 3 times.

Shweet. Hoping to pick up Hitman 1 & 2 for $2.50 each (I know they've been that cheap before).

Which hitman had the chinatown map? It's been so long since I played those I can't remember which is which. I can only remember Blood Money lol. Can't wait for Hitman 5.

I believe it was some technical issue with shadows on modern graphics cards with the game. it would make some areas where you had to sneak impossible to complete.

Interesting! Thanks much -- appreciate it...

how the hell are you are you supposed to get the CS sniper ticket when 90% of the damn servers have the awp off.

You can cheat and do it against bots. Play as CT on Assault with 20 bots.

Nope, it doesn't.

If you play on a dm server you can select your weapons loadout and you can spawn with awp. If you look for the 24/7 fy_two_towers dm server, you can probably get it quick because there was a bunch of people trying to get the achievement.

Maybe you're looking at the "deluxe" edition. That's $17.99.

And I saw that Mass Effect 1 is on sale as well; Also a must-play.

It's amazing how two games can be so similar, and yet so different.

Nope, the Deluxe is $36 USD.
They've always beens shafting my region on the price of ME 2. ME is cheap, like $6 but Mass Effect 2 is still at full retail price. Maybe by the time they do another sale for it when I'm in the States they'll have a GOTY version out with the DLC bundled in.

Looks like some of the games for tomorrow are the following:

Prince of Persia franchise
X franchise
Hitman franchise
Dead Space franchise

Can you guys tell me what the US price for Dead Space 2 is? I want to pick that up myself but I think it's another game that my region still has not gotten a price break for.

Ahhh hell, I'll get the FO3 GOTY too. I have the original but I could never bring myself to buy the DLC. This is too good of a deal for the DLC now and it will at least be worth another playthrough.

where are you getting this info?

 

[Phynaz]

Don't count on it. Portal 2 is still a new game and is priced at $50 MSRP. At most, it will be 50% off ($25).

I'll buy at $30.

 

[KaOTiK]

where are you getting this info?

From the bouncer at the mexican donkey show

 

[BrianP]

where are you getting this info?

He's just getting it from threads on other forums. People are finding the sale graphics on Steams content delivery network. So far they've been accurate but only four or so have been found each day.

If it's X games today it might finally be time to try Terran Conflict.

Ugggg... Fallout 3 GOTY keeps crashing on my like nobody's business. I don't remember having this much trouble with it before.

what kind of cpu you have on the forums they say that if you have quad core then u'll have trouble. look in their forums for some possible fixes on their stickie.

 

[ibex333]

OMG... Just when I thought ME1 and 2 was an awesome deal for $20.. The digital deluxe ed. DOESN'T include all the DLC packs. In fact it doesn't even include a single one! Just a bunch of collectors edition stuff. weapons, armors, soundtrack... Heh. I'll save my money and get this thing when it's available at the same price or less with all DLC packs.

Yeah, I have a quad core and I am aware that they have had problems. Just that when I last played the regular Fallout 3 it was always on this machine and I had only very few problems.

EDIT: Right, found the fix. I'll see if this does it the next time I play. Thanks.

It's not DLC itself. It's putting up DLC for 250 Points but you can only actually buy them in 300 point increments. The 50 points I have left over will either be a complete waste (company profits) OR will have some psychological effect in making me buy the next DLC (company profits) "because I already have 50 points sitting there so what's spending for another 300"? Of course, after that transaction I'll no doubt still have points left over because it's almost impossible to zero out such systems.

Note how Valve's Mann Store didn't go this route. It's pure $$$ values for all the items contained within.

Not true. You can buy the exact amount of points needed from Bioware. There are point equivalents to every dollar amount the DLC is sold for.

 

[pontifex]

you guys do know the portal pack is on sale for $36.83? - you get portal and portal 2

there ya go, portal 2 is now daily deal for 24.99
