[Steam] Holiday Sale


Recommended Posts

Resi 5 is not worth the price, as many actual retailers are currently selling the console version new for ?14.99.

Meh, todays deals are not that impressive. I shall wait til tomorrow!

I'm seriously thinking of getting RE5 as it costs RM85 at the moment instead of RM179 but is it worth it? I enjoyed RE4 and I wanted to get RE5 but it was too expensive at the time.

No, I don't think it's worth it. It's amazing how Capcom managed to ruin it when it was based mostly off RE4, which was a fantastic game (and IMO, the best of the series). The basis of "run, spot enemy, stop, aim, then shoot" has got annoying now, but not as annoying as the AI for your partner, which is extremely dim-witted. Also, they have the cheek to charge you for DLC when it's already on the disc!

Wow. Battlefield 2 is MUCH harder than I remember. Makes Modern Warfare 2 look like a pre-school game! :|

I was playing Battlefield 2 pretty solid over the last year or so but IMHO they messed it up with the 1.50 patch which changed a LOT of things about the way the game worked and it put me right off. Probably for the best as getting addicted to any game isn't a good thing.. haven't touched it since playing it the first time after 1.50 came out!

But yeah - compared to modern FPS's its a heck of a lot more hardcore and there are some seriously good players out there on the internet. Took me months and months of playing before I could start to score anywhere near as well as the better players - and even then, sometimes I'd still get absolutely thrashed in a lot of games :(

Guns appear to kill these days :p

I remember putting half a clip in someone with the medics unlock before they'd die. Now it takes 3-4 rounds and you're dropped! Might just wait on the new one. Saying that I'll need a quad core before that's released!

Not really on the list of "great deals" but I bought the iD super pack for $35..lost my disks for Q3 and Doom3, so those two games were worth the pirce

rest of the list -> http://store.steampowered.com/sub/440/

Also I have the demo of Torchlight downloading to see if i'll pick that up as well..

EDIT: After playin for a couple min, I decided just to buy Torchlight, esp since its only $5...

Edited by rage710

I had to laugh at Torchlight being $5 - especially after someone said earlier they paid $9.99 for it!

As a rule of thumb : Don't buy ANYTHING else until the sale is on the last day, just in case it comes up cheaper on the daily sales! (Sorry guys :p)

I wonder what tomorrow's deals will be...

    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram by Aditya Tiwari Meta announced that its Instagram for TV app has arrived on Samsung TVs in the US as part of its latest expansion, giving users one more way to scroll through Reels. The social media giant often comes under scrutiny for the "addictiveness" of its features, which leads people to spend excessive time on the platform. Interestingly, Instagram boss Adam Mosseri described spending 16 hours on the platform as "problematic use" but not "clinical addiction." Mosseri also compared scrolling on Instagram to binge-watching a show on Netflix. Instagram for TV is now available on Samsung TV models released in 2020 or later. The app is already available on Amazon Fire TV and Google TV in the US, which together account for the majority of connected TV devices. The company said it will test several new features to improve the living room and family experience while using Instagram on the big screen. Watching vertical videos on a big screen isn't something many would be excited about. Probably that's why Meta is testing a dedicated home for horizontal videos. Creators will get the opportunity to design content for TV screens and get more ways to reach audiences, according to Meta. If you found an interesting Reel while doomscrolling on your phone, you'll be able to cast it to your TV. The feature is available for testing on Instagram for TV on Google TV and Amazon Fire TV, and it will also support videos from the Saved tab. Instagram for TV will be testing Channels organized around user interests, across genres such as comedy and sports, as well as content from favorite creators. Moreover, you can watch Stories on your TV. While Instagram is known for short-form videos, it's knocking on more doors to keep the audience hooked. The company said it's exploring new content formats for the big screen, including long-form creator content to cover topics in detail, episodic series to build suspense across multiple episodes, and creator live sessions on TV. All of the new updates put Instagram in competition with established giants like YouTube (and Netflix), which already have a robust presence on the big screen. In recent updates, Instagram added the ability to write an individual caption for each carousel image, manually re-order posts, and a paid version of the app.
    • I know RAM and storage prices are high right now, but I think it would have been better to have 1TB as the base level storage, especially as it's supposed to be for gaming. Plus a 2.5gbe ethernet port rather than only 1gbe.
    • I have installed the debloated version of Windows 11 25H2 Pro. I obtained the apps from store.rg-adguard.net. The size of the Photos app window is quite problematic for me; it consistently displays in a 16:9 aspect ratio, resembling a movie theatre screen, and cant remeber its last size and position. The Snipping Tool cannot capture the taskbar. When I select "Window" in capture mode, it allows me to capture menus or individual windows, but I am unable to capture just the taskbar. This functionality was available in version 24! I am on the same version numbers (latesst).
    • I'm already seeing my steam library, still swallowing the 16 Gb of RAM, then looking at the SD storage expansion and saying "what?".
