Steam Holiday Sales 2013: DIE HARDER

can you add lands and remove other cards?
what if you just want a TPS with a bald guy and some sneaky shit?
I've been eyeballing it for a while, and I saw it was already on sale, I figured it would get an even better daily/flash discount. So yeah, I jumped on it. No idea when I'll get around to playing it, but at least it's in my collection now.
I still have my three spares. There's no logo, and I can't trade them until January 23rd, but they haven't disappeared.
I got that "no trading because you've been a bad boy" thing yesterday too. It's basically the steam website being confused. As long as you have the "send gift" key, you can send it.

Fair enough. Though I feel like it is a bit weird that it is even available to purchase in that state...

Came home and saw Splinter Cell as a deal, thought I was finally going to be able to play it, but then saw that price. You're out of your minds Ubisoft.
They should, it's the best god of war game of last generation. Up there with GoW 2 in overall quality.

So the game part of the game sucks and it's still worth playing

Absolutely. Not sure why you would want to add more lands though haha.

Good PSA. Though I would probably hold out for a Steam daily.
Dean Hall, the lead developer, is very honest about the state of the game. It's an alpha release, not a finished game and he wanted to make sure no one was expecting something more.
I didn't say it sucked, I said it let down the rest of the game =p
Still, the rest really makes it worth playing through.
(Seriously, dat soundtrack is amazing, as are the environments and even the story is well done and told)

I don't really miss them because of the big one I mostly got all those the first few years they did sales but it seems that Publisher packs are no longer a steam holiday/summer sale thing?
Just wondering.

Castlevani LOS was 9.90$ on gamersgate.com 2 days back, I got that deal when there were 25 seconds remaining. Well worth it.

They seem to be gone, sadly.
It's on Nuuvem for ~$7.
fucking finally. Some of the cards in the 2013 Act of War deck are garbage situational shit and I hate them. It needs like 3-5 more lands instead honestly because the rng likes to fuck me.
Also I would hate the "boss fights" much less if they weren't one trick ponies that ALWAYS on the first turn or three get their game defining creature or artifact that you can never remove because they have 234324 of them instead of the legal limit of 4. It's game breaking.
It must be quite disappointing to craft an Unparalleled item only to discover it's for a game no one plays or cares about.
Hardcore fuckin' LOL. The fuck "I don't know" in that screenshot. You know exactly why and you had to have seen it coming from several thousand kilometers away.
that sucks
The issue here is if you actually followed the development of the game after release the (admittedly ignorant or at the worst stupid) devs realized that pulling assets from another game was a bad idea and were actually releasing patches at a very rapid rate to remove and/or modify the potentially infringing material. I think part of the issue is a ton of people saw TotalBiscuit's video and played armchair copyright lawyers by reporting the game to Valve. It's almost like 4chan's /b/ army, but just as uninformed.
They actually patched out a lot of this stuff in an almost daily basis (Larry's voice isn't there anymore), but I guess it was too little too late for them.
The thing is, unlike a lot of cheap crappy knockoffs, the core gameplay was pretty solid - controls were great, weapons had a lot of variety, cars handled well and were very responsive to turning, etc. It was just ruined by the dev team's poor handling of the assets. You could tell a lot of effort was placed into making the game exactly like the original, which was what of course did them in.

That site never works for me. I just cannot login to paypal while paying. No idea why.

I don't understand who buys games that can't be purchased just for the sake of it, does the game have steam keys made by the dev?

Any reason why every Valve game is on sale except the L4Ds ?

Voted for Brothers even though I already own it.
To fuel rumors of a F2P L4D2/CS:GO

You are a gentleman and a scholar.
I think you mean the Autumn/Thanksgiving sale that happens every year. I used to buy a bunch of stuff during that sale in the previous years, but this year I learned my lesson and didn't buy anything because it's the same price (or lower) in the Winter sale.
But yeah, Steam really needs a big Spring sale. It seems like an obvious thing to do, given that there's no big sales between January and July.
And a lot of those people might not be interested in Brothers. Particularly Chivalry fans who might think "I want more people to play this multiplayer game I love"

Technically the game is pretty solid. Surprisingly solid for an alpha, in fact. I can honestly say the only issues I have with it right now are questionable design choices, like the pitch black nights that are completely devoid of color.
R*'s DRM servers probably had a meltdown again.
Give it a few days.
Really, really grindy.

Brothers deserves to win. Playing it, what a lovely game. I got it for 5.99 $ from Amazon, so if it doesn't win now, don't miss it in Amazon sale.

Can't decide on Arma 3... it's the only thing on sale today that's on my wishlist, but it's still hard to justify at that price, especially given the fact that I'm not even sure if I'll enjoy a game like that.

Does Hard Reset get considerably better beyond the demo area?
I grabbed it on the previous sale for the same price that it's going for now, played it for a bit and i was pleasantly surprised.
Guns sound and feel good and there are some neat features like bullet penetration so it's fun when you get to deliver headshots behind wooden doors, etc.
Movement also has feedback so i actually felt like i had weight when i was moving around and as far as the visuals go it looks pretty good.
The zombies are the oldschool Romero type ones so some of them just stand facing a wall until you get close, others try to run, some of them bang on doors until they bring em down, etc
There's also a stamina bar and you'll have to scavenge for ammo and weapons and try to reserve them a bit although you do actually get quite a few and ammo is not as scarce as say DayZ. Also, according to my experience with the game, each time you play a map different weapons spawn so one time you might find an MP5K another a TEC-9, etc.
For its current price it's a no-brainer in my book.
Apparently the trading restriction doesn't apply, anyway. I sent an offer to my secondary account and it went through just fine, though admittedly, since Steam won't load on my laptop, I didn't try to accept it, but I assume that if the trading restriction were actually in place that the gifts wouldn't have shown up in the window.
Hello all this is an extra key that came on instructions in my Metro Last Light retail version. I cannot guarantee it will work, but from what I read all around the retail came with two instructions and both keys will work.
Thanks and happy holidays!

Yep. It's the website being confused, like when it says you don't have cookies enabled in the client, or it can't find something in your inventory to sell.

I have yet to receive snow globes for the first 20 minutes or so of the sale. Spent $30+ and still no cards.
Put in a ticket with Valve moments later and they haven't bothered to respond. Seems I'm likely fucked

It would be cause for concern otherwise? I think you mean there is a paucity of other night conditions outside of pitch black?
