2013 Steam Autumn Sale: DEAD!!

[blipblop]

Bought Skyrim yesterday... been playing for 5 hours already.

 

[Ns1]

is it me or do these steam deals look turrible compared to the amazon deals?

 

[Dankk]

FarCry 3 is $7.50 on Amazon, code activates on Steam.

Perfect. I already got it for free with my GPU last year, I just needed a cheap excuse to put it in my Steam account. Thanks.

Amazon and GMG have been doing a superb job undercutting Steam over the past year or two. You'll be seeing this happen during the Christmas sale next month too.

 

[xXx orange]

Yeah I agree.. so far have bought more from the "other than steam" links posted in this thread than the steam sale

Im also looking for Metro LL at around 66-75%.

Yeah, I bought AC3 and FC3 from Amazon for 7.50 each. Haven't bought anything on Steam. Waiting for AC Revelations and Paradox Interactive games.

Pretty sure there's a more kosher term to use than "rape," people. Why not call it gay or Jewish while you're at it? I'm not trying to be "one of those people," nor am I trying to get all on your case. Just a thought.

Not going to deny that "rape" is an inappropriate and even offensive term, even by the older standards I grew up with.... but seriously?

You're putting it (sexual violation of anything, not gender specific, or "carnal knowledge without consent") on the same level as full-on racism and anti-gay sentiments? Rhetorical question.

Not sure if I can even buy this if I'm in Canada??? Seems to say otherwise in the product description. Can someone confirm??

Amazon.com is offering a bundle of EVERY X-COM game for $10 whereas Steam is only offering Enemy Unknown for $10.

I've heard several people say that the original X-COM can still easily rank as the best video game of all time. So I've always wanted to try it. I won't have a chance to play these for a few months at least though.

Thoughts?

Man, I hope this sale doesn't rape my wallet like it's a gay black jew...




And here I thought you cleaned you act up.

Back to old tricks again? Stop. Now.

Just so you know, this is absolutely not allowed.

Haha I don't think a flame suit will cut it.

If you change your address to a US one it should work. I live in New Zealand and I bought two games.

That XCOM deal is good, but to clarify, it includes every XCOM game except the new Enemy Within expansion.

So if I change my address on Amazon, I can still play it on my Steam which is registered to my real address in Canada??? ?!?!

Can anyone else confirm this will work?

EDIT: I can edit my shipping address (even though it's just an online code). But to use my credit card it would need my real billing address I think, which it's not letting me charge to a Canadian billing address even though I using a US shipping address :/

Any other way around this?

Steam needs to use a condom next time, or at least vaseline.

 

[DaveSimmons]

Amazon has Saints Row IV for 60% off ($20) if you don't want to wait to see if Steam will have it. ASIN: B00BQHQPSM -- it's probably a Steam code, but the page does not specifically say so.

 

[Zenoth]

I wasn't sure which one to go with, between Torchlight II and Far Cry 3, and I finally bought Torchlight II. I've played about six hours since yesterday. I think I like it. I might miss Far Cry 3 though... I also wanted it but I have my financial limits lately, even at those prices (at least I played some FC3 on the 360 for a couple of hours).

Call of Duty: Ghosts is also on sale on Amazon.com for $40 while we're at it.

 

[shortylickens]

I went ahead and got Final Fantasy 7.

For three bucks its better than fighting with the disc version every time I play.

Graphics are not improved other than render resolution. Game play is exactly the same, for good or for bad.
Cloud saving works thru Square, not Steam. And it doesnt work.
The only new feature is they remind you of your controls every time you start up which is actually kind of nice.

 

[Aikouka]

The lack of good pricing on DLC is killing me again on Van Hellsing. It's only $1.70 over the price of the game itself, but they aren't on sale at all separately.

 

[shortylickens]

Demonicon and Arkania look good, but I've already spent too much money.

DAMN YOU GABE!

 

[Texashiker]

Bought left 4 dead bundle and skyrim to gift out at christmas.

Bought farcry 3 from amazon for myself, downloading now.

If I was just now getting into pc gaming, that is 4 epic games for like $22.

 

[slpnshot]

I'll check them out. I have no issues with Uplay unlike some, so that doesn't bother me.

If you haven't been able to find any codes or don't feel comfortable doing them, amazon is selling AC4 for 35 right now. It's digital download.

Amazon AC4

 

[shortylickens]

Already have a problem.


I disabled Cloud saving on FF7 and for some reason it keeps deleting my saves entirely.
That sucks especially when you consider the damn intro part takes forever.

Bastards!

 

[pontifex]

Van Helsing is an awesome action RPG. Definitely worth $5
