Wow, imgur's overzealous compression raped that image.

 

[Princess Skittles]

A Different Deal Each Day? LET'S DANCE.

 

[The_Player]

I don't like to miss opportunities to troll people, but I'm serious. The price shows up for me on the game's page.

Also it seems like there will be daily sales, so hold off on buying anything that's not Doom or Quake (and I assume Brink).

Yeah, already own all of them, but Skyrim is just missing here. Anyway, was thinking to buy it on PS3.

 

[StuBurns]

What dailies could we be getting? Doom and Quake are done, that's pretty much all they've got.

EDIT: I guess Elders Scrolls, but still.

 

[svegis]

50€ in Finland. No preorder bonuses listed. Release date set as nov 2011.

50€ in EU yeah, which is about 70 USD. Cool!

 

[anddo0]

Do we know the system req for Skyrim?

I know it's a new engine... If you can run FO:NV, is it safe to assume you can run Skyrim?

Glad I waited on Old World Blues. I just started Honest Hearts (haven't done Dead Money yet). So, may wait even longer.

 

[Boss Doggie]

So TES will be discounted soon I hope?

 

[JaseC]

Haha, Brink's discount is only 25%. Did you learn nothing from Capcom, Bethesda?

So TES will be discounted soon I hope?

The series is all but assured to show up as one of the daily QuakeCon deals.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

If you preorder either Skyrim or Rage you get an additional 20% off of the complete pack. If you preorder both you receive an additional 40% off of the pack.

 

[Gvaz]

The quake pack is $30 to me already, but I already own everything but Quake 4 :|

Quakecon pack I dont have:
Brink
dark corners of the earth (i have that on D2D however)
fallout dlc
hunted
quake 4
rogue warrior


and that's not worth $70 to me

 

[drizzle]

So, pre-ordering Skyrim now for 60 bucks gives me one TF2 hat and 30% extra discount on the QuakeCon pack?

And that's it?

Bummer.

 

[The_Player]

Haha, Brink's discount is only 25%. Did you learn nothing from Capcom, Bethesda?

It's 50% off, actually.

 

[KarmaCow]

What did you have to buy to get it?

The TF2 Wiki says you need New Vegas but it hasn't shown up in my backpack yet.

EDIT: It showed up after checking the back pack in game.

 

[Hop]

The quake pack is $30 to me already, but I already own everything but Quake 4 :|

Yea, same here, but Quake 4's not discounted at all so maybe it'll be a daily...

 

[JaseC]

The quake pack is $30 to me already, but I already own everything but Quake 4 :|

The game being full price is likely an error. Every other game in the pack is discounted.

 

[Sourtreats]

Hmm, £50 for the complete pack. This is going to be on sale the whole time isn't it? My steam pages has updated properly and it is available till the 7th.

I mainly want Oblivion which is £11 alone. I think I'll wait till the final day before I make my decision about the complete pack. See if there are any good daily deals.

 

[shintoki]

Haha, Brink's discount is only 25%. Did you learn nothing from Capcom, Bethesda?

Brink is 50%.

The Quake-Con pack is excellent if you haven't picked up anything from it.

Pity I own too much of it already to take the plunge. I'll just wait for a 5$ sale or something on Hunted and New Vegas. Since those are the only two I want from it.

 

[JaseC]

It's 50% off, actually.

Brink is 50%.

Not for AusGAF.

Quite the joke.

 

[Sysgen]

Skyrim is $59.99? This with Bethesdas knack for pushing titles out of the oven before baked makes this a no go.

 

[Moobabe]

Brink free weekend? Don't mind if I do

 

[thefil]

Any of the Quake games have a decent single player campaign?

Otherwise should I just play Quake Live?

 

[DyslexicAlucard]

God damn it, because I purchased the Doom and Quake packs in the past, the only id games that I still need are the Heretic/Hexen games. I know it's crazy to want a "Hexen Day", but can't they just mark them to 75% off?

 

[StuBurns]

Even as an id detractor, I can't wait for Rage, looks awesome.

 

[Sanic]

Quake 4 for $20 is absurd. It's not worth that even for the rocket launcher.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I bought that id pack last year and it didn't include Quake 4...

 

[TouchMyBox]

60 bucks!

If one game is worth the 60 dollar price point it is probably this one, but still damn the man. Why am I paying console tax?

Direct2Drive will eventually have a 20% pre-orders sale and you'll buy it from them...

Unless you really like TF2 hats

 

[svegis]

The game being full price is likely an error. Every other game in the pack is discounted.

I don't think it's an error, actually. See the news post here

"If you just want a few of these classics to fill out your collection, they are also available for 50% off individually (except Quake 4)."

At best, it'll be some discount, but I don't think so.

 

[Deleted member 10571]

LOL

eu steam quakecon pack: 12 games, 70 euros
us steam quakecon pack: 30+ games, 70 dollars

this is oblivious.

 

[Princess Skittles]

Quake I and II have EXCELLENT single player campaigns.

Just read up on the forums on how to get the soundtracks working for the Steam versions.

 

[JaseC]

Even as an id detractor, I can't wait for Rage, looks awesome.

The video production diaries have seen me go from utterly indifferent to intrigued.

Edit: It's fucking $90 here. Fuck sakes I hate this shit.

UK is in the EU, we get 31 games.

I've not watched that stuff, but I saw a demo last year at an event and it looked great. It seems a lot more conventional than some people are expecting, but the combat looks fun, and although the sewer crap looks like the typical id fair, some of the some colourful environments are really impressive.

As for Q4's price, that game is dog shit and that price is a joke.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Maybe Quake 4 will be a daily

 

[Chesskid1]

rage for $60 is just too much for me though. don't think i can buy games at full prices anymore, when there's so much variety/backlog to fill me in, but yes, rage looks damn amazing.

 

[Scythian]

I think I'll bite on this Quake-con pack, even though I already own the Doom Pack...
And I'll also pre-order Skyrim, I don't care what the price is, they even give me a discount on the pack.

 

[Deleted member 10571]

Germany, then.

 

[Stallion Free]

Quake I and II have EXCELLENT single player campaigns.

Just read up on the forums on how to get the soundtracks working for the Steam versions.

Quake 4 also has a highly entertaining singleplayer campaign.

 

[inky]

Skyrim is $60 on PC as well? Seriously? I didn't know Bethesda did this too... bummer.

 

[Palette Swap]

I'm in Europe and definitely have 30+ games for 70€. Something's wrong on your side.
Hell, Skyrim + Quakecon pack is 105€. I'm reaaaaalllly on the fence considering the only game I own in the pack is Oblivion deluxe edition (this isn't the deluxe edition in the pack actually) and that seems like terrific value.

SteamGAF, I need your opinion !
Do you think this can get any better or can I blow my money now?

edit: you're in Germany. Are all of the 30+ games sold in Germany to begin with? That might be the answer.

 

[1-D_FTW]

Brink should be interesting. At least I'll get to try it with my own eyes.

rage for $60 is just too much for me though. don't think i can buy games at full prices anymore, when there's so much variety/backlog to fill me in, but yes, rage looks damn amazing.

If it has amazing multi-player and I want to be there on day 1, we'll talk. But I doubt Rage will have this. As much as I like what it's showing, we'll be waiting for reductions for same reason.

 

[drizzle]

I think I'll bite on this Quake-con pack, even though I already own the Doom Pack...
And I'll also pre-order Skyrim, I don't care what the price is, they even give me a discount on the pack.

Te 30% off in the quakecon pack is quite nice. However, the only games I want in the quakecon pack are the Commander Keen ones - a 3,75 pack.

I already played way too much Doom in the past, I don't care for Quake, hexen, Fallout new vegas, Brink or anything else in the pack.

I really wish Skyrim had a discount..

 

[MikeTyson]

AS long as I have a BATTLEFIELD game on my PC, I don't see myself playing anything else. id buy quake 4 play it for an hour then go back to BATTLEFIELD...

 

[Cerepol]

So which one of the Paradox interactive games is a good entry point?

 

[TouchMyBox]

Skyrim is $60 on PC as well? Seriously? I didn't know Bethesda did this too... bummer.

I've gotten several $60 PC games at launch in the last two years and paid less than $50 for all of them.

 

[JaseC]

I've not watched that stuff, but I saw a demo last year at an event and it looked great. It seems a lot more conventional than some people are expecting, but the combat looks fun, and although the sewer crap looks like the typical id fair, some of the some colourful environments are really impressive.

Actually, there was a gameplay video a month or two ago that I enjoyed. It features the spider turret devices that, while awesome, were very obviously plucked from Doom 3.

As for Q4's price, that game is dog shit and that price is a joke.

I only want it as it's the one Quake game I don't own on Steam. Fortunately, my Steam OCD isn't so bad that I'll spend $20 on a 6-year-old game.

Did you buy them on Steam, on a pre-order, with hats?

 

[Lasthope106]

Give me the original DLCs for vanilla Fallout 3 for less than $1.5!

Don't you want my monies Bethesda?!

 

[Deleted member 10571]

edit: you're in Germany. Are all of the 30+ games sold in Germany to begin with? That might be the answer.

They are not, BUT it would be fair to lower the price, then.

OH GOD I HATE THIS COUNTRY SO MUCH when it comes to media D:

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

I want Doom 3 but £7 is wayyy too much

 

[svegis]

Germany, then.

edit: you're in Germany. Are all of the 30+ games sold in Germany to begin with? That might be the answer.

Bufbaf: Correct, I just checked the German site and you only get 12 games but for 70 euros. I hope this is just an error that'll get sorted until tomorrow. And to answer anyone else who suspect it's cause the games aren't sold in Germany, is correct. I did a quick search and there's no Quake or Doom(except for Doom 3, oddly enough). Not the expansion pack for Doom 3, though.

 

[DarkSoul520]

I'll bite on Quake 4 if its 50% off at some point.

Kind of sucks that I already own all of id's games on Steam, or else I would be buying those packs in a heartbeat.
