Steam Sale 2012 - What games emptied your wallet?

[Epona]

I couldn't resist buying Max Payne 3 for $30(!) but I also bought AC: Revelations for $13.

Now which one of you chose Plants Vs. Zombies over Super Meat Boy?

Probably people who like Super Meat Boy more than Plants vs Zombies and already owns Super Meat Boy. It's not a popularity contest, it's about what you want to go on sale next and why would you want a game you own to go on sale next over another game you don't own?

Funny thing is... SUPER MEAT BOY is now on sale, 75% off, hidden flash deal!

Not on my end.

I have Sam & Max, KOTOR (who the hell is still running an OS that will run this game), Ys Origin and Brink

Search Super Meat Boy on the store . You can thank me later Ah, my Windows 7 works great with Kotor.

Ninja'd. KotOR works just fine with Windows 7. When you get to Dantooine there's a feature you have to turn off in an .ini file if you've got an AMD graphics card, but that's literally the only compatibility issue I've ever run into with it. And I'm really not sure what that feature does aside from choking AMD cards on that one planet; the graphics look exactly the same before and after.

I can't even install it on my Windows 7. I have the retail version though, does the Steam version work better?

Actually, I've got the retail version myself, so I have no idea if the Steam version is any more or less compatible with windows 7. It installs straight off for me, even the built in patcher works. I wonder what could be causing your issue? Usually if the installer itself craps out, it means it's a 16 bit program, but at least my copy is 32 bit. Otherwise it wouldn't work for me.

It's been a year since I tried to install it so I can't remember the exact error it brought up but it wouldn't even start the install before complaining about a missing file.

All fixed now, I bought it on Steam and installed the widescreen patch. Playing it in 1920x1080 now.

Saints row the third + a million of its dlc for 23 bucks

Witcher 2 for $16 ( lost the original cd key, but game is worth buying twice)

Don't know how the steam one works, but I have the SW: The Best of PC and the KotOR from that works fantastic with 7.

Well, my CD was probably scratched then.

 

[ScrabbitRabbit]

I managed to bag myself Sonic Generations, Indie Bundle 1 and the first Mass Effect.

I'd have gotten more if I didn't already own most of the games on Steam already. Damn their regular deals =[

 

[Callate]

Finally got Skyrim. At 33% off I could resist, but at 50% I caved.

 

[Epona]

There are no good games on sale. None that I don't already own anyways. I'm sure something will pop up.

It is nice to read this thread and learn that some people are finally getting around to playing some really great games.

Now get off of the forums and play your new games damn it!!

We can't, the flash sales even keep us from sleeping.

Hey, maybe we're just killing time while we wait for our new games to download ;p

Brace yourselves ladies. From first to last, I bought the following games.

Saints Row: The Third 12.49 USD
Trine 2 3.74 USD
Darksiders 4.99 USD
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II 4.99 USD
Summer Sale Indie Bundle Day One 9.99 USD
From Dust 3.74 USD
Payday: The Heist 4.99 USD
Binding of Isaac Wrath of the Lamb 0.74 USD
Half-Life 2 2.49 USD
Half-Life 2: Episode One 1.99 USD
Lara Croft GOL 3.74 USD
Summer Sale Indie Bundle Day Two 9.99 USD
Half-Life 2: Episode Two 1.99 USD
Left 4 Dead 2 4.99 USD
Borderlands GOTY 7.49 USD
Skyrim 29.79 USD
Renegade Ops 3.74 USD

So that adds up to about $111 dollars, if my math is correct. Boom.

No room for Frozen Synapse (unless you already have it)? I'm saddened by the lack of people saying they bought it. That game is outstanding.

 

[Solo-Wing]

So far only Bioshock 2 and Plants vs Zombies.

Most of the games I want have not dropped enough... Damn it Dead Rising 2 and just Cause 2! COST LESS DAMN YOU!

 

[Blazing Steel]

Damn you Metro 2033.

Damn you Metro 2033.

Also annoyed. I want civ 5 but it will take a too big a chunk of what is left in my Wallet...

 

[LookingGlass]

There's not a lot I can think of that I particularly want to add to my backlog. Especially since I bought a few games in GOG's recent sale.

I've bought:
- Mirror's Edge (50% off, don't expect it to go on daily deal as it's pretty old)
- Jade Empire (ditto, and it didn't get discounted at all at xmas so I thought this was a win)
- Alan Wake Franchise (75% off)

The base version of Civ V is only $7.50, the Game of the Year edition is $12.50. I don't know why they used that image, but the $25 option is the whole shebang: Civ III, IV, V, and all DLC, not just Civ V.

I know this. It will still take over half of what is left in my Steam Wallet. and I wanna hold that for something else... It is a kick in the nuts is what it is...

Fair enough, I just wanted to make sure you knew it wasn't $25. It had me fooled at first -- I was thinking it was a Train Simulator situation where the DLC had gone out of control. For what it's worth, it was more than I wanted to spend too, although I wound up getting Civ III. $1.24 was just too cheap to pass up.

Good point.

It's been so long since I downloaded a new AAA game, I forgot about their file sizes.

*grumbles something about The Witcher and minimal requirements

With all these 12GB games, I'm wondering if I'm going to be able to download them all xD. /60GB limits.
