Any and all Steam Deals!

[Smashed Brother]

Upon searching, I couldn't locate a dedicated Steam thread, so let's start one now dammit! List any and all awesome Steam deals here!



This whole week Steam has been discounting the shit out of their games. Each day brings completely new sales, with tomorrow (11/29) being the final day. Today, among many other sales, you can pick up The Orange Box for only $7.50!! If you've been waffling on grabbing that (like me), now's your chance! But check it out...there are plenty of other great titles on sale too.

[Smashed Brother]

Today/Tonite's notable sales:

Left 4 Dead 2 - $4.99
Shatter - $2.50

I'm waiting for the 1st L4D game to be on sale since I've never played it, so I passed on the sequel (I strictly adhere to playing shit in order), but I decided to try out Shatter because the trailer sold me on it. I'm glad that I did! An awesome Arkanoid/Breakout update, with some cool powerups, a local co-op mode and a fantastic electro soundtrack! Check it out!

[Jorpho]

By all accounts, L4D2 is pretty much just an "expansion" for the first L4D ; you lose nothing by skipping out on the first one, really.

Shatter is pretty cool, but attempting to achieve the insane requirement of the current "Treasure Hunt" challenge - 11.2 million points in Bonus mode - is really ruining the experience.

Did it , the fallout new vegas one was a bigger pain

[zemmix]

The Christmas sales have begun!

I want to resist but the Paradox Complete Pack just looks too good...

[skaar]

I picked up the Deus Ex pack for $3.

[Kitsune Sniper]

From yesterday:

Lego Batman ($4.99)
PB Winterbottom ($0.49!)
The Oddboxx ($12.49)
Super Meat Boy ($3.75)
Indie Future Pack ($4.99)
Deus Ex Collection ($2.50)

I'm hoping they have The Last Remnant, Arkham Asylum and Bionic Commando on sale sometime during the week.

[zemmix]

Picked up Witcher, Defense Grid and Polynomial today.

[Kitsune Sniper]

I bought Witcher.

12 GB. Dammit.

PB Winterbottom ($0.49!)
The Oddboxx ($12.49)
Super Meat Boy ($3.75)
Indie Future Pack ($4.99)
Deus Ex Collection ($2.50)

I'm hoping they have The Last Remnant, Arkham Asylum and Bionic Commando on sale sometime during the week.

Hey, Bionic Commando is $13 and BC: Rearmed is $6. I know that Arkham Asylum is on sale too, but I don't remember the price right now...

[Kitsune Sniper]

Arkham Asylum is $15 right now. I'm waiting to see if it'll go even lower.

Also, I got BC:Rearmed as a gift a while back. I don't want to pay $13 for BC alone, so I'm also waiting for another price drop. Too bad I don't own a 360, or I could just buy the damn game for $5 or so. :P

[norkusa]

Sniper Elite is only $1.49. You'd be crazy not to buy this.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Sniper Elite is only $1.49. You'd be crazy not to buy this.

Uh, what kind of game is it?

[norkusa]

Uh, what kind of game is it?

Third person WWII shooter where you're a sniper (well 3rd person when you're running around, 1st person when you snipe). Gets pretty gory too - lots of slow motion bullet cams with exploding heads and brains. Played thru the Xbox version when it came out and loved it. You can even play the PC version online too.

[Gapporin]

Recettear for $7? Yes, please.

[Therealqtip]

Recettear for $7? Yes, please.

the thanksgiving deal was way better then that, 5 dollars and 4 other games, I was hoping Recettear would be in the indie pack.

[Jorpho]

the thanksgiving deal was way better then that, 5 dollars and 4 other games, I was hoping Recettear would be in the indie pack.Clearly they got wise to how insane that deal was.

[Gapporin]

Clearly they got wise to how insane that deal was.

Then again, this is the company that gave away one of their flagship titles away completely for free (i.e. Portal).

[zemmix]

Ok need to spend less now. Sure ME 1 has been on sale for $5 before but I missed that and still don't have it. So I picked up..

Mass Effect 1 & 2
Patriarch IV (looks like an old game I used to play on Dos, Machiavelli the Prince)
Silent Hunter V (I've been wanting to see the graphics on this one)
Wings of Prey (Has the worst DRM on Steam and only 3 activations but for $6 it's worth the rental I guess)

[Therealqtip]

Although these deals are good, watch out for Amazon's downloadable title sales, Bioshock 2 was 10 dollars on steam but today its 5 dollars on amazon.

[Jorpho]

Unfortunately Amazon.com's digital downloads don't work outside of the US.

[Kitsune Sniper]

So Capcom pulled a dick move today.

Devil May Cry 4 was $5 for a couple of hours... and then they raised the price to $10. I thought these specials were supposed to last all day. Fuck 'em. :(

Same thing happened with the Valve pack at the beginning of the sale. Was $25 for the Valve complete pack but then went up to $50! Kicking myself for not getting it at $25.

Todays buys were:
-Overlord
-Torchlight
-King Arthur

To be honest I'm not a huge fan of console games that get ported to the PC. The Mass Effect series seems ok though.

[Kitsune Sniper]

ARKHAM ASYLUM FOR $7.50

I knew waiting was the right thing to do!

[zemmix]

Love space games so I picked up the X superbox deal today. I really was wanting Dragon Age... but $25 for the complete edition is a bit too much. I highly doubt I would get around to playing it before it drops to $10 during the summer sale anyway. Heck I might not even get around to playing it till the next Christmas sale!

[Jisho23]

There is going to come a day where the console makers are going to wonder "Where did all the gamers go?"

And this is why.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Heh. I bought the FEAR pack this morning, and Killing Floor after I came back from the US.

And I got the Lara Croft game as a gift.

[fahlim003]

I must say, the Serious Sam HD discount looks very appealing - bloody $3.99. I'm really tempted to get this as it's likely another year before its this cheap again.

[Kitsune Sniper]

The only reason I didn't buy that is that I got them as part of a trade with a guy from Russia on the Steam forums.

And I already own the original games via retail releases.

[Gapporin]

Just bought Mirror's Edge (75% off) and Shatter (50% off) for $5 each. I already had Mirror's Edge on the 360, but somehow first-person games just feel "right" on the PC.

When is Steam going to give us a deal on extra time during a day to play all these games? That's what I'd like to know.

[Cesque]

Just going to point out that Magnetis (http://store.steampowered.com/app/37500) is only 37 pence. Fun game, with very awesome music.

[Therealqtip]

The SF4 deal kinda sucks and LP2 I just don't have enough for, wish LP1 was 50% off.

[c0ldb33r]

I got the Quake collection for 10 bucks. Not a bad deal :)

[Jorpho]

Just going to point out that Magnetis (http://store.steampowered.com/app/37500) is only 37 pence. Fun game, with very awesome music.I was kind of wondering about that one. There is still such a thing as shovelware, after all.

I can't recall anyone ever spontaneously gifting me something until this sale. It is an unfamiliar experience. I suppose I should pay it forward, but I can't seem to find any reasonably-priced games in the wishlists of my "friends". (That's what wishlists are for, right?)

[fahlim003]

I got the Quake collection for 10 bucks. Not a bad deal :)It'd be good if there was still a good number of online matches without mods. Having said that and given the present circumstances are not the case (pardon Q3 to some degree) it's a fair price for the SP aspect(s) alone. Add a healthy MP scene and if I didn't already own all the games it'd be a worthy purchase in my case.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Too bad none of the Quake 1 and 2 games include any CD music.

I'm keeping my retail copies just because of that. :(

[fahlim003]

Too bad none of the Quake 1 and 2 games include any CD music.

I'm keeping my retail copies just because of that. :(Shit, Quake 2 does have a soundtrack! I've never realized this in countless years I've played it and AQ, thanks for the tip. It's no NIN but so far it's alright.

[Kitsune Sniper]

If you check the Steam forums, there's actually a download link to get the music working on the games. I think. I have the original CDs so I can just rip the music myself.

[Gapporin]

Shatter is now $2.50 today. F.

I'm still waiting for the Orange Box to plummet, but I know they'll probably wait until the last day of the sale (if at all) to do that.

[Kitsune Sniper]

So yesterday I bought Amnesia: The Dark Descent, The Ball, Frozenbyte Collection (Shadowgrounds, Shadowgrounds: Survivor, Trine), and Kane and Lynch 2 DLC - Doggie Bag (bunch of multiplayer maps... eh, $3 wasn't that bad, but $1.49 / .99 for weapons and masks on their own was pretty stupid.)

And today, I got Arcadia, it's a simple WASD+Mouse shooter that's similar to Geometry Wars, but it does its own thing. It's pretty simple and fun and the dev is adding tons content and improving the engine all the time.

And really, it wasn't even $2. I figured the game would be decent, and it is. :)

[Jorpho]

I'm still waiting for the Orange Box to plummet, but I know they'll probably wait until the last day of the sale (if at all) to do that.I guess you missed that during the Thanksgiving sale. I wouldn't count on them doing that again.

I'm saving my money for Lego Star Wars, Ceville, Runaway 2, and maybe one of the Indie packs on the last day.

[Gapporin]

I guess you missed that during the Thanksgiving sale. I wouldn't count on them doing that again.

Well, Team Fortress 2 is $5 today, so I got that and Half-Life 2 (also $5) and made my own Orange Box bundle (I already had Portal, and I figure I can get the chapter packs if/when I beat the main game).

[G-Boobie]

It takes guts to spotlight a sale on Bionic Commando, Valve. Just saying.

[norkusa]

Just got TF2 but my 4 1/2 year old iMac can barely run it. Ugh.

[Kitsune Sniper]

It takes guts to spotlight a sale on Bionic Commando, Valve. Just saying.

Guess what? I've been waiting for them to lower the price on that goddamn thing since the summer sale. I got Rearmed as a gift but wouldn't buy the two pack because it was more expensive.

So now? Now I own Bionic Commando.

Hot dog!

I also bought a KenKen puzzle game called "Everyday Genius: SquareLogic", and HL2 Episodes 1+2 as a gift for a friend who's probably still asleep from New Year's. :P

[Jorpho]

Just got TF2 but my 4 1/2 year old iMac can barely run it. Ugh.Did you already try playing with the rendering settings? The Source engine seems to be pretty flexible in that regard, at least on Windows.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Yeah, no offense, but a 4 1/2 year old iMac has a really crappy video card. Very outdated.

Try lowering the resolution and the shader / model quality.

[c0ldb33r]

I got the half-life 1 collection. Not bad for 3.74 :)

[norkusa]

Yeah, no offense, but a 4 1/2 year old iMac has a really crappy video card. Very outdated.

Tell me something I don't know. Even when I bought it new, I thought 128mb was ridiculously low for a new video card. TF2 system requirements said I should be able to handle it though.

Video settings are already as low as they'll go too. Getting a new Mac soon anyway, so I'll just wait until then to play.

Hey, my PC has an integrated 128mb card (I know, yikes) and TF2 runs about 55-60fps at almost the max settings. It's dual-core processor clocks in at 2.93ghz, so that probably compensates somewhat.

Yeah, my Mac is just a 2.16ghz dual core, so that's going to slow it down.

I actually tweaked the settings a bit more and it's a bit easier to play now. Render settings are grayed-out though. Kinda choppy but definitely playable at least. I need to upgrade to a new setup soon.

[Gapporin]

I got...Half-Life 2 (also $5)

Now $2.50 (at most). F.

Ah well. Picked up the HL1 Collection and both Episodes. Also grabbed AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! (been eyeing that one), Swarm Arena, and Delve Deeper. Curse you, Steam.

[Kitsune Sniper]

My TF2 buddies have said that a good CPU can be just as helpful as a good video card when it comes to TF2, so... I'm playing the game with a GeForce 8400 GS, which is kinda crappy, and I sometimes get awesome frame loss (2 FPS!). I think it also has to do with the drivers you're using... dunno if there's newer ones out there, man. :(

[c0ldb33r]

Not much for the last day of the sale. Plants vs Zombies is a decent price I guess.

[Kitsune Sniper]

I got Evil Genius and that Judge Dredd game - both for $2.50ish.

I wanted to buy Blade Kitten... but since the dev pretty much folded there's little chance of the second half of the game being released.

[Jorpho]

Blade Kitten has been getting some pretty rubbish reviews.


Not much for the last day of the sale. Plants vs Zombies is a decent price I guess.It's good fun, and you're unlikely to see it at that price again.

[Smashed Brother]

Time to resurrect this thread! As of right now you can pick up:

Far Cry 2 - $4.99 or get both games for $7.48!
Sims 3 - $13.60 (the add-ons are all on sale, too)
Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY - $7.49


There are many more titles on sale, but these are the ones I gave a shat about. There's about 5 hours left before the next sale begins, so get on it!

[c0ldb33r]

The deals are great - I think the sale continues to July 10th.

The other day I picked up a bunch of stuff dirt cheap. I got Monday Night Combat for like 3 bucks - great game!

[Jorpho]

Hey, are there three other people who would be interested in splitting up a 4-pack of Greed Corp (http://store.steampowered.com/app/48950/) today?

[Collector_Gaming]

Shit, Quake 2 does have a soundtrack! I've never realized this in countless years I've played it and AQ, thanks for the tip. It's no NIN but so far it's alright.

The soundtrack was made by the then new Rob Zombie(it was before they even released their debut album Hellbilly Deluxe!)

Reviving this thread!

Killing Floor (looks like a Left 4 Dead knock off)

$3 bucks.

[Smashed Brother]

Listen, Deus Ex: Human Revolution is only $10.19 throughout the weekend! You'd be a freak to not jump on that! There are also some other deals going on, but let's be serious....this is the most important!

[Jorpho]

Listen, Deus Ex: Human Revolution is only $10.19 throughout the weekend! You'd be a freak to not jump on that!Pff. That's the one I got for a buck when OnLive had a special. And I'd be quite surprised if Steam didn't knock it down to $5 come summer. By then they'll probably be including all the DLC with the game for $10.

[Smashed Brother]

More deals going on today! Sims 3, both Bioshock games, Duke Nukem Forever, Prototype are all on sale. Also, a whole slew of older games (Psychonauts and Xcom, among others) are discounted! Get on it!

[Berserker]

Thanks for the heads up! I have Psychonauts now. I'd also like to get Prototype at some point, but I have a feeling it's going to come down even more during the Summer Sale.

[Jorpho]

In fact, all of Double Fine's games are on sale: Psychonauts, Costume Quest, and Stacking. However, they were all significantly cheaper in December, except for Stacking, which only just came out. I can wait.

[Jorpho]

Check it out! GamersGate has the D&D Anthology on sale for $5.99. That's Baldur’s Gate 1 & 2 + Expansions, Icewind Dale 1 & 2 + Expansions, Planescape: Torment and The Temple of Elemental Evil for just 5.99! It doesn't get much better than that – but act now!
