Pro Tip: Only buy from the daily deals until the very last day of the sale.

Kinda want TDU2, but not prepared to put up with 4 activations of a game, even for a fiver. Doesn't matter whether they're revokable; I've got to really want something to put up with that DRM.

the Medal of Honor one seem interesting... US$10. I dunno if it's worth it for its single player. MP I have some doubts on. What're your thoughts?

EDIT: http://img.ly/5HyO -- epic sale fail on Guild Wars game.

Day 2:

If anyone is pondering Shogun 2 in the UK, it's cheaper on Amazon, where it's currently £15. It was a tenner earlier this week.

If anyone hasn't got Just Cause 2, buy it now, as it's one of the best open world action games around... and it looks great on the PC - a true example of refusing to dumb down a console port with terrible options etc.

Contemplating Trainworks 2 myself. Wasn't on my shopping list, but could be a lot worse...

Meh... "link facebook to your steam profile" -- why is everything has to do with damn facebook?! Geez... I don't wanna reinstate my account just for one little thing only to close it down afterwards. -_-

That pissed me off when I saw it too.

I absolutely, utterly, completely abhor Facebook.

I don't mind providing the option for those who want it - but let me turn it off if I don't!

Valve knows how to get me by the balls.

Edit: You can create an account then delete it after you have linked it.

Ummm... I remember seeing a link to facebook thingy when I bought a game, but I just clicked through without entering anything.

Regretting not buying Oblivion yesterday but I am not sure I have the time to put into a game that long.

If L4D2 goes on a larger sale will probably buy a copy for the sister same with Bad Company 2.

I hear the game sucks anyway.

[Paradigm Shifter]

As it turned out, Steam decided for me anyway. I was all set to buy it regardless (meh, what's a fiver?) when I got home from work, and it had gone up to £7.50. So I thought, "Bugger that.". ;)

I don't quite follow what the complaint about Facebook is. Couldn't you just not link your profile to Facebook? That's what I did. Or is there some incentive for linking that I don't know about?

TF2 achievements for making Youtube videos pissed me off more.

[Paradigm Shifter]

Complaint about Facebook = it's everywhere. It's inescapable. And the few places it is escapable quickly sign up to splash "join us on Facebook" all over their sites.

Although an idea occurred to me during the whole Anonymous/LulzSec thing... given the incredible about of info present on there... breaking Facebooks security would have been a nasty slap in the face about security of personal information online to millions of people - did they not try, or did they try and were unsuccessful?

edit:

Anyway, this is the SSS thread.

I just bit on Railworks 2 and some of the more interesting Steam related British DLC. Oh, and the American 'Big Boy' train, because I remember watching a documentary about that when I was a kid and thinking "Wow... I'd love to drive that."

Now I can, albeit in a game. :mrgreen:

[sixshot]

hmm... the Bad Company 2 pack for US$9.99... also has the skin DLC for 2.04. Contemplating if I should get that.

I'm waiting to see if they'll put Bulletstorm into their daily deal sale. That'd be one game I'd snag if the price is right.

[packerfan]

Picked up the Bad Company 2 pack.

[sixshot]

Another day, another sale.

Torchlight -- US$2.99
Transformers: War for Cybertron -- US$7.49

Played neither... but definitely notables. Still waiting on Bulletstorm. C'mon, Steam/Epic! :P

I was on the fence for the two Bioshock game for 5 bucks each. But then I figure: I can wait until Infinite comes out and maybe there'll be another sale on the Bioshock games. Then again, the 2k Pack would be worthy to snag... just that it has one problem: Duke Forever :D

[Paradigm Shifter]

What's Bulletstorm actually like? And is it GfWL infected?

[sixshot]

Yes, I believe Bulletstorm is infected w/ GfWL. I only have two games that uses it: SF4 and FlatOut Ultimate Carnage. No problems with it... yet. *knocks on wood*

What's it like? Different in terms of FPS gameplay. Outrageous methods to kill your enemies, kinda like how Duke Nukem should have been like in some respect. It's one of those games I really wanna try out. But since it was released w/ a US$60 pricetag, I opted out of it. Now it's $30 but I want to see it get reduced further as part of the Steam daily sales.

I hear it's got terrible use of foul language and profanities... but ... well... who am I to judge? I just play the game.

[Paradigm Shifter]

Eh, the language is just Epic Games trying to prove they're adults by acting peurile.

Which rather defeats the object. ;)

[yogibbear]

AC:Brotherhood at a price where I don't care about the pathetic DRM. YOU ARE MINE!
