    Finally cracked.

    Bought Magicka collection for €16 and Fallout+DLC for €22

    Thats a solid investment, I know Fallout is a long game, but having it will probably make me play it during downtime of WoW etc

    You bought Magicka too soon, 1/2 that price now!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,202 ✭✭✭el dude


    meh.

    Think the problem for me when with these bigger newish titles is that they can already be got for just as cheap, if not cheaper through amazon and whatnot.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,909 ✭✭✭Agent J


    Its almost over....

    Im open to suggestions as to what to get on the last day.


    Already have GTA, Fallout, Just Cause, Borderlands & Portal 2(Well the valve pack).

    Dear Valve,
    Fix the index.
    Respectfully, Me.


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


    Is magicka worth it even if you dont have any mates who play it ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 782 ✭✭✭Cunning Alias


    Metro 2033 was the only other game I was waiting for, so I figure I am gonna grab it for 6.69.

    Anyone got any other interesting finds? I seem to be spending more time on indie games. Stuff like the Abe games that were mentioned before.

    Nope. It was good fun at the start and then the game started getting incredibly hard. Seems like it doesn't work too well when you are playing solo. (Maybe im just crap at it though)

    Thats extremely frustrating

    More annoying is I came home and wont log into steam, keeps saying there is a problem with my internet connection or the steam servers, yet my internet is fine, sigh


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,410 ✭✭✭Nollog


    I think you can get a refund so long as you don't start downloading it.
    Buy it as a gift then and activate it yourself at this price.


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


    A its no big deal, and I finally logged in but cant get downloads going since the servers are probably getting raped.

    Tempted by Borderlands Goty edition, heard that was a decent game

    Gah, wish i'd read that earlier.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,133 ✭✭✭FloatingVoter


    Would the Tropica 3 Absolute Power expansion pack on DVD (€4 on Amazon) work with the vanilla Tropica 3 Steam Special Edition I bought last week ?

    Yup, I'm addicted :)

    If you do buy borderlands, it's usually cheaper to get the game+ the dlc separate rather than the goty edition.

    Another good shout that I was too late for,

    Bought the GOTY, seems I lost out on a euro so again no huge deal :)

    Damn sales I literally crumbled on the last day


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,057 ✭✭✭Krusader


    Bought the Magicka complete pack, but only magicka is showing, is this normal

    Yesh. When you launch the game the DLC will download.

    Have you tried maybe signing online, as opposed to with the client?

    All got sorted, think it was just large traffic to servers to be honest, keep getting messages saying my downloads cant start due to busy servers now

    Super Meat Boy was hard enough.

    This stupid summer achievement will be the death of my thumbs.

    I earned that one automatically from aceing all the levels previously. Happy with that :)

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,778 ✭✭✭Sod'o swords


    Such mixed emotions right now, i'm happy to see it end, but also sad to see it go. Well more so my wallet's glad to see it finish...


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,061 ✭✭✭Sarn


    I finally caved and picked up X3:TC, (didn't bother with the collection as I had finished the first two and won't get around to playing the others) and Magicka complete pack. That's it, no more purchases until I finish some of my backlog.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 4,255 ✭✭✭Yawns


    I might just cave and buy borderlands. Haven't played it yet. PC prob won't handle it but I am planning on buying a major gaming rig in next few months anyway.

    Does the GOTY edition include all the dlcs and something else as well?

    It would be cheaper to get normal and dlcs otherwise. I haven't looked at the package info in full but would assume maybe there's something extra in it for the extra few quid. Anyone know. Or should I save the last few pence for another game :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,020 ✭✭✭witnessmenow


    Im tempted by borderlands , but fcuk the exchange rate! $7.50 in US , €12.50 ($17.80) here :mad:

    I've asked on reddit would anybody pick it up for me if i paypal them the money, so hopefully something will come about.

    Just make sure VSync is turned off. It annihilates the fps in DS1.

    Will do, thanks.
