in all fairness Witcher 2 is well worth even full price!

for me its way better then skyrim. ( yes i said it, fudge off fanboys ). Maybe you are not allowed to explore as much as in elder scroll games, but in witcher 2 every single little quest can have consequences, which will bite you in the arse later on! Its very mature and has a briliant sense of humour.

they're different types of rpgs
witcher isn't as immersive because you're actually playing as geralt in his story, whereas skyrim you are the dragonborn so you can get sucked in more. witcher does win on plot, easily.. but skyrim doesn't really have a plot as such. yeah there's some crap about dragons, but no one gives a rats ass about that

witcher 1 > Skyrim > Witcher 2

How hard is it to get the Spiral Knights achievement? I'm on very slow internet atm so can you complete it in offline mode? SK says single-player so i'm presuming it can be done that way, otherwise there's no point me wasting the bandwidth.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

do the gifts/coal whatnot still work for games after they have been taken off the daily deals page?

i can do the red faction/tropico ones, but not for a few hours

No, you need to play online. The acheivement is done when you compete in an arena against another group of players.

yesterday's achievements are still available to complete for gifts/coal if that's what you mean. I presume it means all the achievements will be available for the sale duration

Scroll down a bit and you'll see yesterday's

Yup, 'tis quite a rather annoying objective, given to compete you need to earn enough in-game money to pay for it, and then you also have to hope that the arena you get is a snowy one...

Mr Blobby

Opened up Steam and what do i see ? .............. A piece a coal and Portal 2 for me

Screw you Arkham City! Here's me thinking I made an even somewhat sensible decision in buying the game at $40 because I already had Arkham Asylum, and you've just dropped to $25 a mere 3 weeks later! FFFFUUUUUU

Oh well, at least it's a fun game, more fun and more legs than a night of drinking anyway...

Washington Irving

Nothing that really appeals to me today except maybe Rage at 50% off

Bought both and haven't played them yet, might pick up clear sky..

RolandIRL

Defense Grid & DLC for €3.49, glad i waited a while rather than getting it for €7 when the Glados DLC came out

hmmm...already have Stalker SOC on Gamersgate. Haven't played it yet, but is Call of Pripyat and Clear Sky worth getting?

johnny_ultimate

Superb value for Stalker - haven't played the 'sequels' but the bundle is surely worth it at that price.

Krusader

PayDay the Heist for me & monday night combat

Defense Grid
complete pack is a good deal at €3.50, if you like tower defense games, it's not a spectacular gaming experience but a good time killer

same as above, but with less o's and e's as clear sky is kinda the worst of the three

also both of you remember to get the complete mod's for the games, massive graphical improvements and various bugfixes that the official patches missed.

RolandIRL

I think i'll wait tbh. I don't have a proper rig yet, i'm guessing the mods up the specs needed a good bit so my laptop won't cut it. I'm sure it'll be on sale again for the same price and i definitely won't be playing it before then...college needs priority :pac:

Dacelonid

Am tempted by Jurassic Park! Anybody think it is a good game and worth the €15

Got a 66% discount for Two Worlds II for joining the holiday sale group, but now up to three pieces of coal for the Dungeons of Dredmore task...

IN YO FACE, REDUCED WINTER FUEL ALLOWANCE!

€33 for Batman and 3 DLCs? Works for me!

Nerdkiller1991

Just got Psychonauts and I'm rather temped to get Monday Night Combat and the Doom package, next...and perhaps the HD Serious Sam games.

Manach

Already have Defence Grid. It was enjoyable, so I'll look to the new content. Will see if I can figure out the daily challenge for it, as it has been a while since I played it.

Why did I just buy six Sherlock Holmes games?

Got Payday too.
