Deals on Steam

[Vim-Hogar]

I'm not buying Left 4 Dead, however. I mean, it's a great game, but my friends don't play it and TF2 still satisfies my occasional need for multiplayer mayhem. I've already got too many other great games I don't have time to play (thanks in no small part to previous Steam sales!)

Mang, I have the same problem. The sales are too tempting especially when they are under $10 for a game you've had your eye on. Then, no time to play them all! D:

Truly, no prior generation has had such problems as these we now face. q___q

Speaking of which, I'm currently staring at the sale on Crysis [http://store.steampowered.com/sub/987/]. If I buy it now, it'll be ready (at minimum expense) when I get my fancy new computer (theoretically in a few months). But, of course, I'm not sure I'll have time to play it, and if not, the demo should suffice. I mean, I've already got three games waiting to be played on this hypothetical future computer, courtesy of past sales, and of course I have more than enough old games to keep me busy until then, and then how much free time will I have once I start my job? Man, I don't think I can handle all the stress these sales cause.

RedLynx Trials 2: Second Edition $2.50

Mass Effect $5 (I short-changed myself on this one as well, but I put more time into it than Jade Empire, so I can fully recommend it.)

Portal $5 ('Nuff said)

Doom Pack Complete $13.60 (Just load the older games into Skulltag and have fun with Doom in full 3D, mouselook, and 1080P. I still have loads of fun with those ancient games. I played Doom 3 with the flashlight mod. Each gun had a different light attached to it so it was really well done and enhanced the gameplay quite a bit. I loved the blue LED light that was on the Plasma Rifle. So cool.)

Sam and Max Complete $15

Devil May Cry 4 $22.50

God portal and mass effect for both 5 bucks! HELL YES! Ive been waiting for portal to go on sale so i could finally pick it up and I guess today is my lucky day. And I never played Mass Effect but everyone says its teh bees knees so ill give it a shot.

 

[dodo1331]

Devil May Cry 25% off? 5 dollars? Hah. Haha. Hahahahahahaha.

Anyway, Portal and Mass Effect would be good if I didn't already have them.

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

If my laptop didn't die due to my overall clumsyness, I would've bought Champions Online for 10 bucks and played the hell out of it.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.....

I'd just like to remind everyone that the Escapist has groups for both TF2 [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/The-Escapist-Team-Fortress-2-Group-PC] and L4D(/2) [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/Escapist-Left-4-Dead-Group], as well as a general PC group [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/Escapist-PC-Gamers]. Join them, add me on Steam (chimpyacee), and join us for a game or two!

Mass Effect is only £3.25?!?! MUST HAVE!

Mass Effect is only £3.25?!?! MUST HAVE!

People that do not buy mass effect now do not have taste, or arent willing to try something new.

Or have Steam fucking them up My details have been fucked up, so "your purchase has not been completed. Please contact Steam Support for help".

It would happen when I leave for work in 55 minutes, then get back in 6 and a half hours time

EDIT: I would just like to say that @Amarok (AKA HumanFishBoy) is a legend of the highest regard, helping a fellow Escapist out when he really needed it

 

[Nomanslander]

I'm just glad steam introduced me to this game...

ARGH! I had the same problem. I tried it 30 times over 14 hours, and no help. The best part was that I first bought a copy for myself as a backup to my box copy (draconian DRM for the win!) and then tried to get one for my brother. That failed and I'm stuck with a redundant copy while he gets none.

Anyway today's deals are AWESOME!

Counterstrike: Source $5

Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 $10.20

Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind GoTY: $5 (This is my favorite game of all time. I don't think true gamers can ever say that because of how different games are from each other, but this one was so far over all the other games I've played ever that I declared it the winner.)

Painkiller: Collectors Pack $8.75

Trine $5

 

[Signa]

Ok, last day of the sale. I was a little slow to update because it was all repeats.

Torchlight $5
GTA4 $7.50
Stalker $2 (I want to give this one a bolding, but I still haven't gotten around to playing it. There's a really cool mod pack my friend showed me that was a total conversion to bring the graphics up to 2009 standards. Regardless, $2 is completely worth it if the game is only half as good as people have said to me.)
Bioshock $5
Killing Floor $5 (This one gets my approval because it's $5 and decent. It's not amazing, but worth $5)
Left 4 Dead 2 $33.50

 

[BENZOOKA]

This seems like a useful thread. I might actually buy a game through Steam if I bump into a very delicious deal here.

 

[Tibernite]

Great thread idea Signa, I thought about doing something similar...so far I've bought 7 games in the past week...total cost: $18.00

Number of hours I'll get for that $18.00: 80+, easily.

 

[Signa]

Now that the holiday sale is done, and we are going to be seeing only 1 sale at a time, I'm returning to my old system of bolding game titles just for the sake of high-impact visuals, and not because I'm personally putting a gold-star on the game.

Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter is $6.80 this weekend

See? Now as you scan the page, you can see the deal without reading my ramblings.

 

[SimuLord]

I've got this thread bookmarked (praise the gods, as $150 in xmas money from Mom netted me 10 games!), keep 'em coming!

 

[Signa]

King's Bounty: Gold Edition $11.25
Looks like a decent TBRPG. The games are $10 and $5 if you want them individually.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

STEAM IS EVIL....it keeps making me spend my money

I knew it was trouble the minute steam suggested I purchase a USB Handgun for my computer.

Zero Gear is going for a Free Weekend this week.
This is one of the many reasons I love Steam.
