    Steam is like an expensive game of Pokémon.

    But it's 75% off!

    I wish they'd sell hard drive space too.

    lads, what are the chances of dark souls being around 20eu on sale?

    I think it was 27 euro last week (possibly €29.99?) so I guess we might see that again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,200 ✭✭✭muppetkiller


    Dark souls was only 14 euro on Amazon.com about 2 weeks ago so watch out for it again this week . It's still on simplygames.com too for 15 GBP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,286 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Well time to go home and have a nosey at what I shouldn't really buy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,066 ✭✭✭Washington Irving


    Nothing of interest for me today.

    Walking Dead is €12.50 and XCOM is -33% for €33.50 for those interested


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,315 ✭✭✭Big Knox


    Darksiders 2 for 16.99. :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,751 ✭✭✭✭degrassinoel


    Loads of decent deals today, it's lucky i already own the ones that interested me :)

    Terraria is there for 3.39 - that's a great little game for that price too!

    Nice reductions on Intrusion 2, Hotline Miami, Mark of the Ninja, QUBE and Anna for those who haven't already picked them up.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,770 ✭✭✭danthefan


    KotoR II is €2.50.

    You'd seriously struggle to find better value than that in a video game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,298 ✭✭✭✭VinLieger


    Walking Dead only 12.49..... but i promised myself id be strong this time.....

    It's excellent, I got it in the Halloween sale (€15 then though :( ), and it's one of the best games this year imo.

    13 euro and 20 cents.

    I bought it myself from them about a month ago. It's a steam code also.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,752 ✭✭✭pablomakaveli


    Well picked up The Walking Dead and Age Of Empires.

    And so the cycle of my wallet being raped continues.:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,091 ✭✭✭Sarn


    Nothing yet, I'm waiting for 75% off FTL.

    ....remember when that train simulator 2012 thing was 90% off last time?
    "its a train simulator"
    "but off its 90 percent off!"
    " but trains?!?"
    "NINETY PERCENT!"
    "Shut up and take my money!!"

    Terraria is awesome. Everyone should buy it at that price, just on principle. Good indie game being sold cheap and whatnot.

    What the fook. I just got the Witcher 2 for 12 quid. I blew off a woman in Messrs because I wanted to leg it home to check the Steam sale, glad it was worth it!

    I bought it in the last sale in a similiar manner. Stumbled home from the pub leaving everyone else there as I'd a strange feeling Steam would deliver. And by got it did, The Witcher 2 became mine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,912 ✭✭✭SeantheMan


    I know it's not "STEAM" , but as this is where people will be looking for the moment

    Starcraft 2 is 50% off (20euro) over at http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/blog/6543628/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,326 ✭✭✭Zapp Brannigan


    Can't buy Borderlands 2 from simply as they don't like me trying to buy it with my Irish card from Canada.

    Hopefully it hits 50% in a deal this week!

    Give me your credit card details and I'll order it for you. Best give me your bank details, date of birth and your mother's maiden name as well. Just in case.

    PM sent. I've also attached my a copy of my birth cert, just in case.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,286 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Don't understand how the Store is working for the sale. Like they have games like Amazing Spider Man on the front page with 50% off, but I also see Arkham City is 50% off @ €14.99 but have to go looking for that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,012 ✭✭✭BizzyC


    Picked up Walking Dead.

    Had avoided it up till now as I was waiting for the episodes to pile up, nice timing for a sale.

    Just bought a new pc and seeing game on steam that i can run again for the first time since farcry first came out!!!!

    too many choices!

    witcher 2 and walking dead for starters!


  • Registered Users Posts: 171 ✭✭civilnug


    Was out last night so was on it all but just had a quick look this morning before heading out for work. Was mighty tempted by Dishonored but I didn't have much time so I resisted the urge to have it download while I'm away for the day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,137 ✭✭✭✭TheDoc


    Nothing of interest for me so far, thank ****

    Oh sh*t.....Steam sale on my phone.

    Rookie mistake installing that app.

    AFAIK you cant actually buy games with the app, you still have to log in on a PC and buy.


  • Registered Users Posts: 171 ✭✭civilnug

    Unfortunately not, just decided to test the theory and got Intrusion 2 for €2.71 in the flash sale on my phone.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,213 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    Yeah you can. I bought a ton of games on the Steam Android app during the last sale.

    Hmm, I tried to buy Limbo on my iPhone 4 yesterday and it said I couldnt as the "Option to purchase Limbo is not available on iOS". Is it specific to certain games or is it just that you can buy with the android app and not the iOS one?

    I'm on Android so I'm not sure about the iOS app.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,509 ✭✭✭NotorietyH


    New flash sales are up. Rage for 4.99, Dead Island for 6.79 a couple of others and Train Simulator 2013 14.61.

    I think I know which one I'll be getting. I always get the latest train simulator as I like having the updated rosters and jerseys.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,213 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    Might pick up Dead Island for that price.

    Also, is the timer on the main page wrong? It says the Today's Deals offer ends in 31 hours. Doesn't it change every day?

    More deals are added. The existing deals don't end when the new ones go up, it's handy if you kinda want something but are worried that something you really want will pop up


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    Decent prices being knocked off though no games that tickles me fancy yet, maybe some of the indie games might persuade me.

    Got the GTAIV package for €17 since I've never played EFLC and I missed the cheaper deal the other week. Christ, was this tedious to set up;

    Download speeds kept dropping after 2 minutes no matter what server I choose so I had to keep changing to keep a consistent speed, when it was installed I had to create a Windows Live account, Windows Live wouldn't accept CD Key, had to figure out what was going on but I checked integrity of the game to get new key, insert key to Live, Live then tells me that I need a 2nd account for a gamertag, go create a gamertag on Xbox.com, enter in new CD key and then wait for it to sort out my profile for a few minutes.

    I did the offline account but this was just so I could have access to the multiplayer. I had the cracked version of GTAIV years ago and it never gave me this much trouble :pac:

    Anyways, Chivalry: Medieval Warfare is going for €15.99, that's one I recommend that's good fun.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,556 ✭✭✭✭Skerries


    awesome m8. just placed the order. do they send cd key in email and how long does it usually takes?

    you should have held off as ShaneU just posted in the bargain thread that it will be $14.99 (€11.70) tomorrow on Amazon.com

    I'd get RAGE, but it's too damn short and runs like crap in PC.


  • Posts: 15,814 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Unless something I really want pops up at an unbelievable price ill be skipping this sale. Spent close to 80 euro on games over the past two weeks, Darksiders 2,Prototype 2, Lego Batman 2 and a load of stuff on GOG which when combined with my backlog of console games and previous Steam Sale purchases means ill be kept busy for a few years as it is

    I cant believe how expensive the DLC is for it though. Like 30 quid a for each pack normally.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,268 ✭✭✭✭MadYaker


    Just spent 40 quid on games ill probably never play. F*ck yeah.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 29,724 CMod ✭✭✭✭johnny_ultimate


    I forgot how much l love Steam download speeds. After suffering through a few PSN downloads, 2.6 MB/S is a sight for sore eyes :D Edit: 3.9 MB/S, oh yes.

    Anyway, Walking Dead is all I bought and all I intend on buying (fat bloody chance). Might pick up Hotline Miami before the sale ends in preparation for its Mac release, whenever that may be.

    Also didn't realise the new 2D Boy "game" Little Inferno was out already!
