Just a heads up to everyone, the Steam sale is on. Remember, wait for something to be 75% off before you buy, unless its somewhat recently released.

Personally, I have 10 games on my wishlist (which notifies you when things are on sale) and I am going to grab Skyrim Legendary Edition right now. 18 Pounds!

Happy buying everyone!

30 bucks for Skyrim Legendary? Feth I just bought hearthfire for my copy on the xbox >_< Hrm... to restart everything... or to say feth it and ignore that.

To be honest, Skyrim Legendary is still £3 cheaper on Amazon.

I got it on steam anyway though. I'd rather have steam / the developers get the extra money than Amazon and a delivery company.

Bioshock Infinite 50% off right now. It is on a daily deal, which is usually close to the best it goes. Those and flash sales. And the last day sales. Like I said, 50% for newish games and 75% for older ones is what to shoot for!

I have skyrim for 360 and I love it, but someday when I have a better computer, I plan to buy it again for PC and play with mods. Skyrim is one of those games like final fantasy tactics where you go back to it over and over for the next decade. Buying it twice is perfectly reasonable.

Skyrim with mods is a totally different game. The graphics of a modded Skyrim are absolutely stunning and amazing, making the console version look like dirt in direct comparison. Wars in Skyrim, Deadly Dragons, Player Horse etc. etc. The game's even better with mods. FAR better.

Both campaign DLCs are very good, but Dragonborn is amazing right away. You have to play dawnguard for a while before you get to the really cool stuff. Dragonborn is great 5 minutes in.

Hearthfire depends on if you're interested in building a house. Take it or leave it.

Pickd up a few games so far:

Dawn of War 2 - I had the expansions/Standalones so why not.
The Walking Dead - Yes I paid £10 or so, but I'm 90% sure it will be worth it even though the price dropped.
Saints Row 2 - Played a bit of the third, want to know the majority of the story behind it.
Just Cause 2 - Holy balls its cheap.

Iv got my eye on a few others:
Farcry 3 - Unsure at ths one, looking to upgrade my GFX card at end of the month and its included in a special offer. Will Wait and see.
Civ 5 - Seems very interesting. Not played any Civ games and kind of want to try it. The demo seems confusing though.
Assassins Creed 3 - I'm really hoping this becomes cheaper, I love the AC games but I'm not happy with the whole "Cod Style" of franchise. If it goes 30%+ off then I may pick it up.


Funnily enough my wallet appears fine my bank account on the other hand must have a sore backside XD

If you like jc2 take a look at red faction guerilla. It's explosive fun like jc2 but with different mechanics. RFG has few downsides lack of quick save (aka you fail mission prepare to repeat mission same with jc2) and you have to use gfwl.

Both games get even more fun with mods (superman for jc2 and walker garage replacement for rfg).

Exactly what I did. I've played quite a bit of Skyrim for the PS3, but with my new computer I re-bought the full edition because I know it'll be better with mouse/keyboard control and full mod support.

Cities XL

T-72 tank commander (it was 30 pence...)

And the sale is only 2 days old....

If you are having difficulty paying I have had no problems at all with the Steam android app but Steam itself can be quite flakey.

FTL is a really good game but it has quite limited replayability, but then it is under £2 so its impossible not to recommend.

It really, really had. And I mean "had" because it's old graphics may interfere with overall atmosphere. If you can see past it (some mods may help with that) it definitely earned it's fame. Just make the effort of finding and listening to audio logs / reading informations. Because the quotes from the game are superb.
Buying the game also has the benefit of removing your name from my "gamers to kill" list who are not worthy to live because they did not experience this awesome game.

You don't already?

I notice that Inestation:Survior Stories is in the running for the community choice game. Remember kids it used to be called WarZ and its terrible. It is a blatant (and inferior) copy of DayZ which has already had a lot of controversy over some shady practices by its developer.

Dishonored for 10,19€! If you don't have this game, buy, BUY IT NOW! (If you like a decent 1st person stealth game that is. Scratch that, if you want a FANTASTIC stealth game, that is)

As for me, Dust: An Elysian Tale. The game looks far too good.

P.S: Because I'm an ex-achievement wh***, sometimes I have some lapses. The Badges for the Summer and Holiday sales badges are some I really like collecting. If anyone is willing to trade one of the following cards, I would be very grateful.
- Bioshock: Infinite
- Prison Architect

I have the following to trade:
- Kerbal x1
- Riptide x1

Steam name: draconiclord. Alias: Vash the Stampede

TWD really suffers from a slow-starting episode 1 that feels like it has to make a tour-de-tv-show-characters, leading you to believe its just going to be "okay"

You can trade cards? I only see the sell options. I think there also must be a delay with their servers right now. I bought Reus just there, but one hasn't shown up.

Dammit, only after Civilisation V goes off of sale do I want it. However its latest expansion isn't ( paying £20 for a DLC), so I'll probably just wait till that's on sale later.

I'm now into the fourth episode. When you're filling in the grave at the back of that house and then there's that guy just there it really made me jump. Most effective scare in the game so far, even though I knew something was going to happen.

I think that the characters repeatedly tell you that everything you do is according to a script, you only get to change little things about the plot, not the bigger picture. In a game about choice you can't choose how it all ends apparently.

Hmn, I've never actually saved her. It seemed like the right thing to do was go for the less obvious choice of the regular guy rather than woman with the gun. Apparently only 25% of people save him. It'd be nice to see if she develops well for once. =/

I know have no money for any other games unless I 100% want it and not just cause its cheap.

Also I need the Kerbal and prison architect cards to complete the set. I have spares of Torchlight 2, Tomb Raider, Skyrim, Reus and Dead Island.

Speaking of Civ V gold:

I got frustrated that Civ V hadn't gone any lower yet and decided I wasn't going to buy it.

Then, whilst in town today, I happened to wander into a Gamestop (the family was buying shoes next door). Lo and behold, Civ V gold for $12.50! This was being advertised under the Steam Summer Sale too (requires Steam to use)!


Steam Sale Steam Sale Steam Sale @ 2013/07/17 01:28:32


Post by: Wyrmalla


I'm contemplating Civilization V. However as the latest DLC is £20 I really see no reason for buying it as that DLC is supposed to add a lot of desirable content to the game. Rather I think it proper that instead I wait until the DLC's on sale at 75% off at some point later (hey maybe even during the next summer sale). £20 just seems way too steep to me for a DLC that's supposedly a required update to make the game more playable. =/

Also, if people are wanting to trade cards I have extra copies of Dead Island: Riptide, Football Manager, Tomb Raider and Torchlight II. I don't actually know how they work (ie what constitutes a set), but I do have nine unique cards if that amounts to anything?

Civ V Gold Edition at that. However, it wasn't purchase through Steam (and though I got it eventually put on Steam, I'll warn everyone now that buying a digital copy from Gamestop requires you to download their pseudo-Steam first. It's as bad as Origin.

Meh, if you ever feel playing a vastly inferior game, now you are able to!

And Deadlight is on the Flash Sales. Get it. It's one fantastic little game.

P.S: For the life of me, I just am not able to complete one damn set. I still need:
1x Bioshock
1x Prison Architec

For trade:
2x Riptides
2x Kerbals
2x Reus
1x Tomb Raider

Steam account: draconiclord, Alias: Vash the Stampede


Was hoping to send you the Bioshock card, I swore I had to. Sadly I have only one.

So my Sales list has grown:

The Walking Dead
Assassins Creed 3
Saints Row 2
Civ 5: Gold
Dawn of War 2

New Additions:
Euro Truck Sim 2 - I really have no idea what made me buy this, there is something compelling/relaxing about driving around "Europe"


I swear those are the last. I was looking at Torchlight 2 but I'v got the first and didn't play it(I got it as a gift aswell) and there is Path of Exile which is a similar game for free.

III's the inferior? There's more recent ones in the series other than the online game?

Honestly I kind of play games like them more to just build up a nice little empire for myself rather than to play them competitively. I actually find it fun to start up a custom battle and set most, if not all the other nations to allies. At the start of the battle I move my builders to their empires as quickly as I can and ...wall them off. That way I control most of the map and can happily build away at my leisure.

Yes, I apparently play the series as The Sims: Age of Empires.

Yeah, I was so disappointed with III. After so much time playing AoE II having so much fun, AoEIII hits and I hated it. Maybe it was a better game but it didn't feel like the AoE I and AoE II I knew and loved.

In other news. Card Status:
Missing:
- Prison Architect

For trade:
- 2x Riptides
- 2x Kerbal
- 2x Reus
- 1x Tomb Raider

I am still missing the Chivalry and Torchlight II cards. If someone needs any of the following cards, Dead island, Football Manager, Kerbal, Prison Architect, Reus or Skyrim, maybe we can arrange a trade.

Edit: I got Gunpoint when it was on sale. It's a fun little game with multiple ways to solve the "puzzles", albeit a bit too short. Caveat: The controls can only be changed between wasd and the directional keys, so in case you've got a different keyboard layout or got used to a different (and better ) setup you have to use something like autohotkey to change the otherwise hard-coded controls.

Edit2: Got all cards once, yay.
Edit3: Need Bioshock, Chivalry, Tomb Raider and Torchlight II, have Prison Architect, Dead Island, Reus and Skyrim.

The choice was between a F1 game, a Football Manager and a Basketball game - so not much of a choice here!

If you have never played it - yes. It aged quite well, but takes some time to get into. If you have played it before or still own an original copy: don't. Use the old copy and install some mods for widescreen, better res, more content etc.

Come on, Van Helsing, 75%, make it happen!

Dear Steam,

yes, Dark Souls is a great game and yes, 7,50€ is a ridiculously awesome price for it, but if you need to pay another 25€ to be able to play it on PC, you can keep it.

Thanks.

On further regard: if you like Asian settings, get Sleeping Dogs and if you haven't bought Max Payne 3 yet: do it.

I was thinkng getting kotor 2 is it worth due to ending (assuming I use community patches)?

Also I got spare chivalry, riptide, 2 footballs, prison and annoying guard.

I want bioshock and kerbal.

Dark Souls is unplayable on PC without a Xbox 360 controller and the adapter costs 25€. Dark Souls is the laziest port I have ever seen for PC - the game does not even show you the keyboard shortcuts, it just uses the gamepad icons. It's THAT bad. Add a downright broken, fickery camera, actions that require pressing a keyboard and a mouse button at exactly the same time etc. etc.

It's a really, really, really shoddy port. Shame!

Right now, I am completing my "scrap list" aka games at <5$ that I'll buy tomorrow.

Any recommendations?

Very much so. It would be worth it even if the ending hadn't been fixed via the restored content mod.

To be fair, it's not the first and I bet it won't be the last that has that problem. The real reason I think Dark Souls should be ashamed are the graphics. All textures are console-crappy ones and it took 2-3 days for a random dude create a patch that "fixes" this problem. Without this patch the game is far too ugly to be played.

As much as I HATE Kotor2, I'll try to give it a 2nd chance with the community patches you speak of. Not only that, I only played a pirated version of it, so it's another off my "Bad Karma" list.

P.S GOD-EMPRAH DAMN IT, I can't get a damn Prison Architect card!

For a last day its been a bit sucky. I really hate when they only put on game in a series up for sale, not the whole thing, especially when the previous games are old. Conversely I did pick up the complete Tomb Raider series for a tenner. ^^

Things I wanted to come up for sale but didn't? The original Call of Duty's(I couldn't give a toss about the later ones). Don't Starve could have been a lot cheaper (feck paying £7 for an indie game). Bioshock: Infinite was tempting, but I don't see the point in buying it at its current price unless the DLC is discounted to. Better to wait a year for the base price to go down as well.

There is a mod (if you PM Soladrin he can tell you where it is) that makes the game playable on the PC.

Or you could be like me. I bought Darksiders 1, found it annoyingly unplayable with the camera being tied to the mouse, and bought a wired xbox controller for 20 bucks (you don't need the fancy adapter) and downloaded a program off of Microsoft's website.
