The best part of Typing of the Dead is how severely creepy some of the stuff they make you type is. I have a retail copy, but I'd love to own it on Steam.

 

[Tizoc]

You'd think that now that SEGA's into PC gaming in the west, that they'd get around to localizing this

Speaking of rail shooters I remember them be way more playable with a mouse than a lightgun, especial Virtua cop.

Or the credits sequence. If you type it all of course.

Deathspank was available for less than 6 dollars, and Brink was kinda as well. Thanks gamersgate!

If he really wanted these games, he could've gotten them by now. I think I still have a leftover Brink key somewhere.

six dollars oh wow what a deal :eyeroll:

 

[StopMakingSense]

Just looked up Typing of the Dead. wtf :lol

Typing if the Dead is legit. Great fucking game.

 

[drizzle]

six dollars oh wow what a deal :eyeroll:

Deathspannk, the DLC, Thongs of Virtue and both Penny Arcade 1 and 2 for 6 bucks is not a bad deal, dog.

That's two good games for 3 dollars each, and then 2 shitty games and DLC for one of them.

The two DeathSpanks were in the $1 tier of the last HB weekly.

I'd say no at that price. Amazon often has it for cheaper - they sometimes have *really* cheap 2K games; I think I got Spec Ops from them for $2.50. I also don't think the game is all that great, story included, but I might be in the minority on this one. Then again, I'm not the type who cares about ludonarrative dissonance or anything like that.

Bad Whac-A-Mole gameplay, great story.
I wouldn't buy it.

Do it. One of the best games of the year.

IMO, it's a better game, both story and gameplay-wise than Max Payne 3.

Good game for the story.

Argh, decisions decisions.

 

[Faabulous]

Can I have a talk with you.

Sure, what's up?

I believe that today is the last day to get Dark Souls for 5£ fellow GAFfers:

This is one of the scariest games I played so I hope it will also appear on the Halloween Sale.

i wonder if DS2 will suffer from rampant hacking on PC like 1 did. DS1 is an amazing game, but knowing that so many invaders hack and can even hack your stats to uselessness made me always play it on console despite lower performance. does DS2 save your info server side to prevent that i wonder? i'd rather get it on pc but i don't want to knowing that the cards are stacked against me, so to speak

I'd love Dark Souls II to be VAC enabled. At least that works.

man if only there was a place i could have heard about that

i would have definitely jumped on it

maybe some place where we could have news and announcements related to steam

id read a thread with only that

Spec OPs Yay/nay GAF?

I know it gets a lot of praise around here for the story, but is it really worth picking up?

Nay. It's worse than Max Payne 3 in every single department.

 

[Overdoziz]

Nay. It's worse than Max Payne 3 in every single department.

U_U

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Typing Of The Dead is a great game, hopefully it will show up on Steam eventually.

Bought Mass Effect Collection for saving, next week is all Deadly Premonition.

Also finally got Condemned: Criminal Origins working (what a chore!) and it seems pretty awesome.

 

[Stallion Free]

U_U

Every.

 

[LQX]

Spec OPs Yay/nay GAF?

I know it gets a lot of praise around here for the story, but is it really worth picking up?

No. A shameful terrible game whose terribleness the developers have convinced some is the result of it trying to to make bigger statement. The biggest hoodwink this generation.

 

[derFeef]

Nay. It's worse than Max Payne 3 in every single department.

Wow, did not think a game can go lower than MP3, but wow.

 

[Knurek]

Nay. It's worse than Max Payne 3 in every single department.

Spec Ops has a coherent storyline, cutscenes that don't make you want to vomit, better art direction all around, better VA and way, way better encounter design and gunplay feels perversly fun.

Max Payne 3 is a turd dressed up in fancy clothes. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

 

[derExperte]

I guess he wants to tell you that there ain't enough room for two Lovecrafts on this forum. Avatar fight in 3...2...1...

Yeah, I wish we had something like the legendary Origin thread, only for Steam.

 

[Bucca]

PSA: Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition is $7.50 on gamestop's website.

Alice: Madness Returns Complete Collection is $7.50 as well on GameStop, requires Origin (though I don't know if this is standard regardless).

 

[Eanan]

I thought Max Payne 3 single player was excellent personally. Multiplayer not so.

 

[rainking187]

Spec Ops seemed like an interesting story, but it was hampered for me by the constant stream of enemies I had to slog through. I finally just gave up.

 

[Turfster]

Wow, did not think a game can go lower than MP3, but wow.

He's doing his thing again, reversing the position of two games.

 

[Martian]

So even though I am cutting back on gaming, I decided to purchase Mass Effect 1 and 2.
Gaben sure has a grip on me.

Also, I cant seem to add Splinter Cell: conviction to my wishlist. Whenever I try to, it just says: ''oops, we're sorry''
No explanation or whatever

 

[derFeef]

But MP3 really is terrible.

You know how the last one of them worked out. Everyone ended up with Salsa helmets and Snuggler glasses.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

I'd say skip both Spec Ops and MP3 :-/

 

[Nerazar]

Spec OPs Yay/nay GAF?

I know it gets a lot of praise around here for the story, but is it really worth picking up?

Yay! I play it with a friend of mine and he's just watching, but we're enjoying it like hell. Finally a Military-TPS with a worthwhile story + lots of minds being blown.

It's pretty standard gameplay-wise, but still enjoyable in that sense. The story or the presentation of the story, the atmosphere and so on... that's the strong point of the game.

 

[Tenrius]

I liked Spec Ops well enough. What they did with the story was interesting and I mostly enjoyed the gameplay for some reason. Played on the hardest diffculty, too.

The gameplay doesn't revolutionize third person shooters, but that's not a problem (people keep buying CoD and Halo, and they don't change shit either). The whole game is more than worth buying.

I'm now thinking if I get this and Max Payne or Batman Arkham Origins. Decisions, decisions

When does the winter sale start? I'm a Steam newbie and I've got a wad of cash burning a hole in my Steam Wallet.

Good grief, my sides. The 1, 2, 3 punch of sales is going to wreck my finances.

Thanks for Obulis, hitoshi!

Here's two games back

Thanks for Hack, Slash, Loot.

From the OP:

So when does the 'Winter/Spring/Summer/Autumn' sale start? Stop asking this question, nobody fucking knows.

Though we've known for a while that the Halloween sale starts tomorrow. Probably.

 

[MRORANGE]

SOON GAF! SOOON!

My sides XD

 

[Bucca]

Thinking about picking up Alice: Madness Returns Complete for $7.50, but it's Origin only.

Is there anything truly wrong with Origin, or is it just kind of nitpicky hate with DRM stuff?

 

[Faabulous]

I really hope it doesn't start tomorrow. I have no money left, and the month is so closing to ending I can smell my next check. Would be a shame.

Winter sale is around Xmas, but there will be a Halloween sale next week and another one in November around Thanksgiving. Probably.

Not really, and if you hate Alice, you can return it within whatever their deadline is.
I mean, it's "not Steam" if that's a thing for you.

It will. See last years starting date: http://store.steampowered.com/news/9225/

But I think there were no daily deals, so if you get money before the end you won't miss anything. Maybe.

 

[derFeef]

We need to solve this. And there is only one way.

 

[Tesseract]

i hope y'all is ready for gabe lord miracles.

God help me then. A week without food, here i come.

Make a lot of posts in this thread asking when the sale is going to start?
