2012 Steam Holiday Sale! DEAD!

[maniacalpha1-1]

Is there a lot of overlap with Galactic Civ 2 and the Sins of a Solar Empire games?

 

[lupi]

totally different style of games

 

[Edge1]

OK, in for Witcher 2. Shouldn't have opened my mouth

 

[Barfo]

Yay, finally bought something (Hearthfire DLC to go with my $28 GamersGate bethesda bundle)

Did you get it when their site had a glitch and it was dirt cheap? if so, this might interest you

We have cancelled all unfulfilled orders as per our terms of use. We are working with the affected publishers to see what we can do with respect to partially filled orders

Yes. But I got my skyrim key and a couple others out of it. The irony of their "mistake" is it was live for quite some time (as in multiple days) before they pulled it, so they're full of shit.

Not remotely. GalCiv is turn based where as Sins is a RTS. The gameplay itself is also fundamentally different in a lot of ways. GalCiv is decidedly "old school", but very much in a good way.

It wasn't up for multiple days unless you are counting it going live at night and being taken down in the morning then yes it span two days

GTA San Andreas and GTA IV are in my top 10 of all time games. I played GTA 3 and Vice City right when they came out but that was over 10 years ago. I haven't played them since. Have they aged well and are they worth picking up for $5 for both? I still enjoy San Andreas (beat it again last year) but I remember that having relatively better graphics than Vice City.

I have $10 left after grabbing the Bethesda pack. Does anyone have input on what game I should get? I'm a big fan of GTA, first or third person shooters, and RPGs (action or otherwise).

The Witcher games are great RPG's

Vice City was my favorite. I didn't really like San Andreas that much and I never played GTA IV.

This talk of GTA reminds me...what are some other games that have good soundtracks of real life music? And, I already have Mafia 2.

That was multiple days. Judging by the looks of the CAG thread, it was actually up for a day before it was posted as well.

 

[lupi]

ah WTF. just went over to GG to pick it up and now it's back to normal price.

Is that good? I mean, I already have Bioshocks...

But as for whether it activates on Steam, it says DRM: Steam on the top, but then under Spec Ops The Line it just says Download, not Game Code. Still, could be a nice bundle.

Spec Ops definitely activates on Steam.

Spec Ops is a Steamworks game so it will activate on it. Honestly, if you are just wanting Spec Ops go to Greenmangaming it is $7.50 and you can use their 30% off coupon bringing it down to $5.xx

As for the game itself. Spec Ops is a weird one. It is worth playing because of the story, it is very good because of this. But the game play itself is pretty average and nothing special. It is worth playing it for the story though.

Atom Zombie Smasher is really good.

 

[ImpulsE69]

I picked up The Walking Dead. I have to say, this game is as good as everyone was has said. I just finished episode 2. Been trying to play it along the lines of how I would actually play out if it were me. I like the comparisons at the end showing how other people chose as well (granted some of that is skewed from people playing multiple playthroughs?)

Steam is down right now

My theory: They finally reduced the price of Borderlands 2 and Skyrim to $10 each, and they've been hit with a massive response, LOL...

Yeah I noticed too. Hehe, their super rock solid setup just sprung a leak. Titanic2.

 

[maniacalpha1-1]

Anno 2070 should be more reasonably priced in the summer sale, yes? Not sure if such things are predictable this many years into Steam sales.

 

[lupi]

given how much all the dlc adds to the final price, and that's it's got ubi drm, it would have to knock a decimal place or two off the price before I touch it.
