[Steam] Holiday Sale

[+John. Subscriber¹]

I bought Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee and Exoddus for ?1.99. Bargain!

[giantpotato]

So far I've picked up the following:

Bioshock

Darwinia + Multiwinia

Grand Theft Auto IV

Mass Effect

Osmos

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. : Shadow of Chernobyl

AudioSurf

Burnout Paradise

Crysis Pack

Dead Space

Prince of Persia Pack

Kotor

Unreal Deal Pack

I bought so many games my account was automatically flagged as possibly fraudulent so I had to create another account, buy the games and gift them to my main account.

Also, I think I might pick up Braid and STALKER Clear Sky by the end of the day.

Man, I'm going to have a lot of gaming to do if I plan on finishing all these games.

[LOC Veteran]

I was tempted by the Civilization IV pack, but didn't go for it in the end, as I'm not really a big fan of the PC ones. The console version (Civilization Revolution) is my favourite.

That's like sacrilege. :p

That's like sacrilege. :p

Indeed. Games like Civ IV are at home on the PC, not on a console.

[Keine Lust]

Well, from what I gathered from the Steam forums, the Steam payment system is hammered at the moment with lots of people buying games. If you experience problems when trying to buy games, you should try again later. :)

Bioshock at 4.99 is a steal, I just bought it. ;)

[Mathachew Veteran]

I've had moments of fortunate, so to speak. Valve hasn't charged me for some of the games I have in my games list, and it's been over a week since the purchases have been made, and I have the emails indicating purchase was made. After another week, I'll contact Valve so that they get their money.

[Xtreme2damax]

I ended up caving in and purchased Mass Effect, I'm not really into RPG's but Mass Effect looked quite cool and a $4.99 was quite the steal. This is actually the first holiday sale where I actually had some money to purchase some games. I'll be sure to build up some cash in preparation of next/this years holiday sale. :D

I've played KOTOR just fine on windows 7.

Weird, I might have to try to reinstall it then. It was crashing continually on my system two weeks ago when I installed it.

[+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹]

So has anybody been able to successfully play KOTOR on Windows 7?

Yes it plays fine, sadly though the hack to make the game Widescreen compatible does not work with the Steam version. Apparantly Steam have messed around with the .exe file and added an encryption to it that the author of the hack cannot bypass :(

Bought GTA4 since it was only a flim, and L4D2

Unhappy with Crysis too as they do not give you the x64 version just the x86 version :( I should have read the forums before purchasing :(

Aye, I was just about to post that. :D

[+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹]

Yup thats where Ifound the patcher, but visiting the authors website details the the protection/encryption on the steam .exe however I don't really want to use a nocd crack on a bought game.

Still Im playing at 1600x1200 or whatever it is, cant remember without going into the game. and its bloody brilliant :)

I've bought enough games in this sale to last me till next new year :woot:

[Prosidius]

Any last minute games worth buying? I want to buy an RTS but unsure which.

[Prosidius]

Bought STALKER and Company of Heroes Gold. Maybe will buy Civilization but I wanna see how CoH plays first. I liked the Age of empires style games.

[Sethos]

Get Men of War, best RTS evar!1 ( I'm serious )

[That Guy Veteran]

Ok just bought both Guild Wars expansions and got Eye of The North Free. That's the last games I'm buying now until next year.

[G_0]

Just got Stalker, for 2$ can't go wrong, and then grabed OutRun 2006 for $2.50. Was thinking about GTA:4 and Bioshock but I don't know if I'll ever play them again, I've got them for 360.

[Kronir]

I almost caved and picked up Company of Heros as well, but I relented; I've spent enough. :p

...Besides, my Mass Effect 2 pre-order will be here in a little over three weeks anyways. :D

[+jamesyfx Subscriber²]

I've not bought ANYTHING from the sales. :(! I already have the decent games they were offering.

How about Rome: Total War?

Questions:

Is Torchlight only a single-player game?

Would you recommend S.T.A.L.K.E.R.?

For those who have played both: If you would have to choose between one of the two, which one would it be? (Knowing that they are different types of games).

1: Yes

2: Got It, just not played yet.

Torchlight is really great IMHO, but id recommend getting both probably.

its so cheap now anyway.

But maybe thats just my interest in the whole Chernobyl and Pripjat thing talking.

Yea its a SP game. As for which, its tough, a $2 is hard to beat no matter what game you put against it :D

[CentralDogma]

[Diabolii]
