Steam holiday sale on NOW!

[Gothgar]

Not too excited about todays games....

Maybe the Civ4 Colonies... anyone have that? Is it worth it?

10 bucks ain't bad.

 

[Firsttime]

Cod 5 is 50% off now for $24.99.

 

[BlueWeasel]

Wonder why they removed Civ4 BTS and Civ4 Colonization?

 

[Jschmuck2]

It was well worth the $13.xx it was on sale for before - not sure it'll get any lower than that anytime soon.

I don't mind spending that much on it - I just don't want to get "Torchlit," as it were and buy the game only to have it drop by 50% the very next day. I'll wait until the 2nd of Jan.

Civ 4 complete pack is $13.60 now.

I'm betting their system went wonky when they went to update the new deals for today and they wanted to put the complete pack up instead of all the civ 4 stuff individually

 

[steelodon]

I grabbed BioShock because Prey SOLD OUT!!......Now LFD GOTY Ed. is $7.49. It's tempting....

Tried to buy left 4 dead this morning, Steam said it was having difficulties or something so I gave up. A little while later I got an email saying my credit card has been declined (interesting since I used this same card yesterday to buy a game). Then I got an email a few minutes later saying Thanks for your purchase and my credit card has been charged. Now when I try to find the game I can't even see it in my "My games" list. I'm not sure what is going on.

Well Beyond the Sword and Colonization are both $6.79 each. Colonization isn't really an expansion from what I've gathered more of a standalone game redone.

 

[minmaster]

damn might have to finally succumb and buy civ4 complete

 

[chalmers]

L4D worth the sale price if I haven't played it yet? Multiplayer community active at all?

 

[Zargon]

thinking about that space battles game at like 15 bucks for it and the expansion.....

I have all Civ games except Colonization. I hope the price is still the same when I get home.

 

[Ross Ridge]

Maybe the Civ4 Colonies... anyone have that? Is it worth it?

I don't have it, but I've heard it's pretty much a clone of the original Colonization, except with better graphics. From that description I wouldn't say it's worth $10. The original bogs down in micromangement in the later game, but otherwise never really provides much of a challenge.

L4D worth the sale price if I haven't played it yet? Multiplayer community active at all?

I'm wondering about this too. The price is good but if nobody's playing it then it's not so good...

There's usually around 6000 people playing weekdays..10,000+ weekends. It's plenty active. And it's got tons of awesome mods like this..

$7.49 is worth the price of the single player campaign alone - the AI is a bit dumb at times, but it's a lot of fun. There are plenty of user made maps that should also keep you busy as well if you can't find a decent MP server.

As for if anyone is playing? I'd say YES:

and I thought the teletubbies were creepy enough... a bit too scary for me

still sounds like a good deal then

 

[Crow550]

I own L4D 2. So should I snag up L4D?

Debating....

I don't think so but other may. There's not storyline or anything to keep you going back.

 

[Mike Gayner]

They say 66% off all Atari games, yet Arma II isn't on special....kind of BS.

Because Arma 2 isn't from Atari

Well more levels to play with others? Until they get ported to the second?

 

[Molondo]

I hope they put up hellgate london up.

 

[pontifex]

I hope they put up hellgate london up.
