    Might get the witcher 2

    It's a fantastic game, though cheaper if you just pick it up in the shops.

    Just got the THQ Hit Collection pack for €50.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,850 ✭✭✭Fnz


    Yeah but it'll also be €50 not €20 :p.

    True, I didn't enjoy F1 2010. It turned me off the franchise. To my mind, there had better be significant changes before I'd play another.

    So you could look at as a cheap way into the franchise, with a risk of being soured on it.

    Redeemed 3 Tickets for the Defense Grid DLC. I just saved 8 dollars!

    Yeah defo gonna pick it up at some point.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 85,151 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    unsurprisingly, the store server crashes right when the yesterday deals stop and the new ones begin. Patch rolling out for CS:S - 7 headshots in a row without dying. ****ers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,511 ✭✭✭Nollog


    Is just cause worth it?
    and what's with the DLC packs? they seem worthless, but are they?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 85,151 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    Probably worth more than Sunglasses for TF2. Which I just redeemed 3 more tickets for!

    Very repetitive

    Just Cause 2 is great fun in short bursts. Probably one of the purest 'sandbox' games, and there's much fun to be had leaping out of all sorts of vehicles while blowing stuff up. Attempts at actually structuring an engaging story and missions around it are where the trouble begins!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,411 ✭✭✭oceanclub


    I loved JC2, and normally I'm not a huge fan of that style of game. There's not much variety, but what you do is so much fun it kept me entertaining; I finished the game though didn't get anywhere near 100% completion. A must-buy IMO.

    P.


  • Registered Users Posts: 232 ✭✭lemon_remon


    Battlefront 2 is on sale as well for €2.24 but does anyone know if there are still servers up and running?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,562 ✭✭✭✭Skerries


    KOTOR at 2.24 is brilliant and Just Cause 2 at 4.99, pity i have both :)
    Heroes V comes with Dark Messiah which i loved at the time but is Heroes V any use?
    do you reckon they will do indie packs like last time?

    i was just about to post it in bargain alerts. 50 quid for that packadge is freaking amazing!!!

    unfortunatly i dont have even 50 spare ! :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 85,151 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    I have almost everything in that pack already and nothing else I'd want to buy is in it sadly except maybe Homefront. But a fantastic deal I just don't have the money to buy Homefront and 2 DoW II expansions.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,562 ✭✭✭✭Skerries


    Heroes V saying 2.50 on front page but 6.24 on linked page :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,693 ✭✭✭Glebee


    Thats for the Heroes Pack..

    If you click on Heroes of Might and Magic after home screen you can
    get it for €2.50


    Black Ops has changed price upwards I see as well


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 51,867 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    I righted a great injustice and bought KotOR.

    Mhm, the prices are a bit of a joke this year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,001 ✭✭✭KilOit


    Black ops isn't worth an illegal download


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    Guru Meditation, hah. The Amiga had the best error messages.

    Got mine off Amazon for £25 (€29). Free delivery since it's over £25. Fantastic value.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,067 ✭✭✭Gunmonkey


    Quite a "meh" day of deals, not much I want (already have HoMMV in the DVD drive).

    Oh well, time to find a TF2 map with water in it and run after opposing Pyros.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,014 ✭✭✭marko93


    Got L4D and L4D2.. GOD DAMN YOU STEAM.

    Damn it I've already bought Bit.Trip.Runner and SpaceChem and now I need to buy Puzzle Agent 2.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,249 ✭✭✭Stev_o


    Is anyone's downloading gone completely mad? Steam keeps on pausing my download for Dark Messiah without me giving any input. Not even running a steam game at the same time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 830 ✭✭✭Robby91

    Probably imagining it but when i click to play the game i'm downloading it doesn't seem to pause the downloading, just leave the time to play screen open.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,779 ✭✭✭Spunge


    Bad Company 2, €7.50. Now that's a deal.

    EDIT: wtf man BC2 is only five dollars for americans. That compared to the black ops deal is just absurd.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 85,151 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    Almost thought about Magicka, but then I thought about that image of Steam assraping my wallet.

    Do you like football and/or crack cocaine? Then yes.

    Luckily I enjoy neither :P

    Likewise, first so far.

    I suspect there will be more though.

    eh why is steam asking for credit card details to buy all of a sudden? what happened to their stored details?

    Seems odd to me. Have you recently replaced an expired card, perhaps?

    Nope added a card a while back though, but even the paypal option wants details now

    once youve bought them for yourself you can download them to a new pc whenever you want by logging into your existing account


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 10,518 Mod ✭✭✭✭5uspect


    Or just create a new account for your son and transfer it to the other PC when you have it.

    I swore to myself that i'd never give Rebellion a single cent of my money ever again, but i'm tempted to try out AvP 2011 at that price..
