[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...

    • Plans. Christ at least editorialise this tripe for what it is or put your own journalistic take on it.
    • If you have a TV in your living room, chances are you can probably just use the Steam Link app and play your huge PC in big picture mode, effectively giving you the Steam Machine experience to see if you'd actually like it. The good news is the Steam Machine can have it's drives upgraded. It has a USB-C 10Gbs port as well, so the 512GB drive could be quickly moved to an external enclosure and repurposed.
    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
