So we all knew it was coming; some (I know I did) didn't think it would happen, but Valve have decided to "cheapen IP's" again, and I know my wallet will cop another battering, Steam sales style!
Check out the full list of games on sale over on the
Steam home page, but there's a few stand outs:
Portal 2: USD$5 (75%)
Shogun 2: USD$12.49 (75%)
Crysis 2 (Maximum Edition): USD$19.99 (50%)
Max Payne 3 is edging closer to tempting at USD$60.29 (33%) but I think that'll get cheaper before this sale is done.
The interesting addition this year looks to mimic GOG's recent sale where they leave it to a 'crowd vote' to see what comes up on sale next. Interesting stuff.
The sale is from now until the 22nd (which usually means the morning of the 23rd for us here in Australia.

@Ivy_Mike Sure dude, happy to, PM me your email or steam user account thing. I assume it lets you gift copies regardless of region.

Agreed. I rate games on value for money according to cost per hour played. IE buy a game for $5 and play 5 hours = $1/hr. Indie games often give me the best value for money and the least disappointment. I can spend less than $5 and often get a few hours of unique entertainment. Last big release i paid a significant amount for was BF3 which was approx $30 for what was a few hours of crappy, buggy gameplay compared to something like HON that cost the same price and gave me what i assume was hundreds of hours of quality gameplay. Now DOTA 2 ive nearly clocked 300 hours so far and its free. Im not against AAA titles, but refuse to pay top dollar and instead wait til i get them cheap on a steam.
Posted 01:44pm 15/7/12
Posted 03:26pm 15/7/12
All for 24.95 USD
Edit: of course i assume most of you guys already have the two games, but I don't, i played the first on a now RROD'd xbox and was waiting for a deal for the second ;)
Edit2: yeah i also judge a game by that, but from that stance, 80 dollars on diablo3 has gained me 250 hours of gameplay, 100 dollars on starcraft 2 gained me over 300 hours of gameplay, and both count as socialising because fuck playing alone :s

It really is a unique game bro. Im more of a FPS fanboi with very few other games that i play often however i really ejoyed LA Noire. Most of the game is questioning/interrogating people but i found it highly addictive as i tried to decide if they were truthful, hiding something, or lieing (for which you have to prove so using notes automatically made by the game). One of the few games that really made me focus and think to win.

If it comes in at sub $10AUD jump on it. It doesn't take itself too seriously, and the game world is a lot of fun to tool around in.
It will be made a significant portion better once the JC2-MP mod launches, but it's a reasonable game on it's own (ESP. at <$10)

I wish I had bought Assassins Creed Revelations at the current discount price.
Actually, I wish I just hadn't bought it. AC2 was fantastic, but the rest of the AC games? meh.
Posted 09:51am 17/7/12
Posted 09:57am 17/7/12
Posted 10:03am 17/7/12
Yeah, AC1 was pretty cool, mostly for the tech and scenery, AC2 was pretty fantastic, AC Brotherhood felt like a cash in.
Posted 10:06am 17/7/12
Waste of money really.
Buy the second one. Forget about the others.
The controls/interface in AC1 wasn't refined enough.
Brotherhood introduced bombs and shit that just made the game too complicated, and they tweaked the UI/controls such that it wasn't quite as fluid.
Revelations just became way too contrived with ziplines and having to run back and forth. Or was that Brotherhood. I dunno. Either way, 2 had a good balance. They changed too much and broke the formula in later ones.
Save your money and buy L.A. Noire instead.
Posted 10:09am 17/7/12
Same issue. I have 1000DPI and max sensitivity and most games i set the in game sensitivity to very low and works just fine. Serious Sam 3 even at zero sensitivity is still super twitchy.
Rage is $10USD which isnt bad IMO but fuck the Aus region markup. Rip off. Pretty decent shooter despite its flaws.
I also highly recommend FEAR 3 (or the collection if you havent played FEAR 1+2) and Amnesia. FEAR 3 is probably the best SP FPS ive played in a while. Not nearly as scary as its predecessors but still good fun.
Hitman Blood Money from yesterday is also a steal @ $2.50
No probs tufnut.

if you go in expecting a straight forward shooter, you'll enjoy it. if you're expecting something that brings new things to the table and an amazing storyline, don't bother. Despite it's horrid launch, I really enjoyed it.
never got around to the multiplayer though.
Posted 03:39pm 17/7/12
You don't get extra keys for any of the titles you already own, I have about half of it already but buying the pack was cheaper than getting the parts I don't have separately.
Posted 03:39pm 17/7/12
I've only bought 3 things so far, so the damage isn't too bad, got Bastion, Metro 2033 and the Darkness 2

Bit of shenanigans going on here. We're seeing a tad over AUD $30 down from AUD $90 in the sale in Australia, but that's still much higher than the USD $18 pre-sale price from the US region according to http://www.ausgamers.com/games/rage/buy/
Posted 03:59pm 17/7/12
As somebody said, just expect a decent shooter. Its got some arcade style racing and vehicles with weapons (machine guns, rockets etc) to break stuff up but thats pretty meh. I really enjoyed the shooting aspects as it had been a while since a decent FPS solo campaign. Story wise i dont follow so dunno about that but i enjoyed the weapons, enjoyed the enemies and thoroughly enjoyed it. Visuals are a little buggy with things popping in and out and the like but patches may have fixed this since release. Dunno anything about coop though.
For $10 i think its worth it.
Dungeon siege 3 is shithouse. I loved 1+2 but 3 was terribad. Shit controls, bad graphics, lame heroes, boring combat. I wanted to like it so bad but couldnt.

The co-op is set missions set outside the main game. You are replaying "history" of the Rage world. They are pretty short and don't really have much re-playability though.
Posted 06:42pm 17/7/12
Posted 06:45pm 17/7/12
I read that #2 was too buggy, though may be coming out in a steam pack today or tomorrow, somewhere or other.
KotOR 1 was much much better though imo, only because #2 wasn't really finished and wasn't entirely coherent.
Posted 07:00pm 17/7/12
Posted 07:02pm 17/7/12
Completely disagree. I found it thoroughly enjoyable and a solid shooter. I play shooters solely for the gameplay and had good fun. Certainly not a perfect game but i enjoyed it about as much as i did rage, fear, dead space 2 and other solid shooters. Multiplayer was pathetic and filled with hackers and 400ping fuckwits but singleplayer was great and i finished it once on hardest difficulty. For $12 i would high recommend it if you like FPS.

Yeah, I didn't really enjoy it either when I gave it a go. It was quite a different sort of FPS though so I could see how it would be polarising. I think it was the first person perspective, if they'd made it third person I might have liked it better but the first person parkour moves felt like someone was dicking with the camera too often for my liking.
Posted 09:37pm 17/7/12
Yeah, I sometimes feel like there's something horribly wrong with me for really disliking Mirror's Edge. I don't think it sold very well, so I know I'm not the only one, but reading opinions online make it seem otherwise.
Posted 10:07pm 17/7/12
Crysis 2 - With regards to being linear, i agree but i did like the option that gave to survey an area and choose whether you wanted to sneak past or go all out guns blazing.

Yes. Similar to GTA with big open world but much more fun and crazy shenanigans to do. I have 32hrs done and thats lots for a SP FPS game.
Posted 05:31pm 18/7/12
Definitely, great game that offers a very large sandbox to play in. Bundle this with the multiplayer mod coming out soon and you have yourself a cheap and entertaining game.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/204880/?snr=1_4_4__sdd
I'm a bit confused (Haven't played it before), does the new one, Rebellion, have everything from the first one?
I read this on Gamespot:
Basically should I play the first one and Rebellion or just Rebellion?

Posted 06:25pm 19/7/12
I guess it'd be fine with a keyboard, but I'd definitely be using a gamepad if you've got one. Any wired 360 controller will do. I play pretty much any game that isn't FPS with a gamepad.
Posted 06:27pm 19/7/12

Fuck gamepad. Im kb+mouse for everything apart from fighters n sports game n bastion worked just fine. Choose whatever you're better with i suppose but it certainly didnt seem slanted towards a gamepad to me.

I bought it about 2 weeks ago. But the sale was cheaper I think. Still I got it for a good price so am not too concerned.

It is well worth the $3/$8 if you buy the complete pack, and is definitely enjoyable if you ever liked GTA or crime stories. I've spent 6 hours already, which compared to a movie is much more worth the money.
Posted 10:33pm 19/7/12
Then if you decide you really like it, wait 12 months and buy the DLC cheap :)

It takes frikkin ages to unlock stuff going the free to play route, I think if you buy the packs it just unlocks everything, but eh. The AI seemed incredibly stupid, but it may just be for the first few levels (read: many many hours as you get to harder stuff), as in one mission I had an allied AI which seemed far smarter than all the enemies up until that point. That it's all running on servers would mean that I wouldn't be surprised if they cut back the AI's capabilities though.

I said this last time it was on sale:
Just expect a decent shooter. Its got some arcade style racing and vehicles with weapons (machine guns, rockets etc) to break stuff up but thats pretty meh. I really enjoyed the shooting aspects as it had been a while since a decent FPS solo campaign. Story wise i dont follow so dunno about that but i enjoyed the weapons, enjoyed the enemies and thoroughly enjoyed it. Visuals are a little buggy with things popping in and out and the like but patches may have fixed this since release. Dunno anything about coop though.
For $10 i think its worth it.
My most recent solo FPS games have included FEAR and syndicate and i enjoyed the shooter aspects in rage just as much.
Also, wow, IIRC last time it was on sale we got the rip off AUS price but now its the USA price. WTF.

That daily special was the rip off AUS price so a little effort and you could have got it for the USA $10. Great news if you CBF getting the USA price last time and avoided buying it but yeah, rageworthy if you copped the rip off price.
I wasnt surprised. It was one of the best sellers pre sale @ full price, one of the best sellers @ 20% off so imagine how popular it will be at 40% off. Cheaper would be awesome but i think they are well aware they dont need to.
Posted 09:33pm 22/7/12
Bohemia know how to milk it, and honestly at that price it is a steal, ARMA 2 is a great game, and I enjoyed the singleplayer missions, albeit it isn't your usual FPS. If you are getting it for DayZ, just make sure you read up this guide on how to install it properly, and don't get attached to your gear, you will lose it at any given point.
Posted 09:41pm 22/7/12

Fixed.
Rage was probably one of the most boring and pointless games I've played in the last year (more mind-numbing than Diablo 3, if that's even possible).
Shame you can't permanently unlink games from a Steam account.
Posted 12:03am 23/7/12
Strongly disagree bro. Im a pretty big FPS fanboi and while rage was not perfect, ive played plenty worse FPS lately - BF3, COD, brink, homefront, hard reset, xotic, dead island, MOH. Dunno if you got hyped cause of previews or expected something earth shattering but i played it not knowing what to expect and thoroughly enjoyed the weapons, combat and general FPS run n gun gameplay. Id happily put it in the category of shooters ive enjoyed like bioshock, fear, quake 4, doom 3, syndicate, singularity, MOH Airborne, Dead space, Deux Ex.
Posted 12:53am 23/7/12
Keep in mind that you can play in offline mode (or used to be able to), but you can't move your saves from your windows profile or somesuch, and are locked out of online things (may just be achievements etc).
On my xp machine, no matter what I tried, I couldn't get GFWL to work, then I upgraded to Win 7 and it worked oddly enough, but I think that I finished Batman AA in offline mode.
Posted 09:01am 23/7/12
I would have done that but i bought the batman pack with all the DLC which you have to activation over GFWL
but uninstalling GFWL, installing windows essential and reinstalling GFWL ended up fixing that. Hopefully this fixed my GTA IV GFWL as well.

yeah, I bought GTA IV dlc that i couldn't play because i couldn't log in GFWL. I'll give that a crack and hope it's all fixed.
Posted 10:26am 23/7/12
Yeah, I bought AC2 (PC, duh - I already own it on PS3) via Steam, and was immediately required to then create a Ubisoft account to play the game I'd just bought with another account.
Seriously, fuck off Ubisoft!
Oh, to top it off, all the buttons/tips are 'Press kick', 'press open hand' etc... rather than the key it's bound to. Seriously, just tell me what fricking key I bound it to so I don't have to look it up!?
So all up in the Steam sales I've bought LA Noire, AC2, Batman Franchise - all games I already own on PS3. And yes, I still can't get LA Noire to work.
So basically I'm paying for games I'd like to play on PC, but it turns out they're shitty ports.

GTA meets postal 2 with a dash of GTA II's side missions (insane kill frenzy, etc).

it's a hilariously bizarre and over the top 3rd person open-world game with easily 15-20+ hours of content.
for example:
you can run around a free-roam city dressed as a pirate beating people to death with a giant purple dildo.

(Still, I snagged a second copy to sit in my inventory in case I get the urge to play the DLC at some point. Even if I "waste" the main game by gifting it to myself, this is still cheaper than buying all of the DLC at once. I think I have a problem)

I loved it. Really solid martial arts action-RPG with a touch of mysticism (like summoning a giant toad demon to fight with you, etc). you can learn different fighting styles and skills so you can fight how you want to fight. I'm really hoping for a sequel. Definitely worth the $3.74
Posted 09:52am 24/7/12
Keep in mind that it's an xbox 1 game (though I think that KotOR was too), and had sort of crammed and boring towns for it. But the overall plot turned out to be really good, the gameplay fun, the music great, and yeah, there were some decent characters in the later half of the game (the early ones were pretty boring imo).
It was bioware's first attempt to do a "light" rpg in terms of complexity, mass effect style with no inventory and manual combat, which I didn't like at first, but once you get over the fact that it's just a slightly different genre and isn't baldurs gate/dragon age, it's still great.
