    Thanks guys have taken down all recommendations so will look into them all shortly.

    Googled FTL, Faster Than Light is it? If you die it's permadeath?...... lol

    It's incredibly addictive, and is one of the few games in my steam collection to break the 100 hours barrier.

    Well this has gone to hell in a handbasket. Already bought a handful of games I didn't want 6 hours ago. :mad:

    Keep forgetting that when games are on special, so are the related games. So will pick up Far Cry Blood Dragon since I hear good things about it

    Blood Dragon!!! I actually love this game more than anything I've played in years!!
    I bought the far cry bundle tonight and only stopped playing BD now. It looks amazing, the 80's retro look and music are brilliant and the over acting and nods to other classic movies are great!

    Thumbs up 10 out of 10 so far!

    I want a sequel to Blood Dragon it is so good

    Didn't ubisoft say they will do something similar after far cry 4?

    ****, Sins of Solar empire: Rebelion and Far Cry 3. I just could not say no.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,644 ✭✭✭✭nesf


    I want Divinity: Original Sin but 20% off + Early Access (more acceptable here as it was a Kickstarter project) makes me wary. It is right up my alley though in terms of game genre.

    So, I didn't really want anything when the sale started but here I am 4 cans later and I've just realised it would be stupid not to buy 3 of those games that previously didn't really interest me.

    When you drink, there are three things you have to stay off:

    1 .Amazon
    2. Steam Sale
    3. Phone

    Someone help! Gaben has me in his evil clutches..

    I got assigned to the blue team btw, and already have 36 points racked up from those bleedin' cards :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,698 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    I bought far cry 3 blood dragon and was about to pick up Dont Starve when I glanced through my steam library

    I have age of empires 2 HD edition from last time


    and I've never played


    f*ck the summer sale, I actually need to play some of these games I own.

    Riptide worth it? Looking at metro last light too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,084 ✭✭✭✭Kirby


    Nothing interests me so far that I haven't already got.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,997 ✭✭✭Grimebox


    Was going to but the complete pack didn't have The Bureau and that's a game I've had my eye on for a long time. Figure that I may grab the DLC before the end of the sale but for now the vanilla version is fine.

    I highly recommend skipping the vanilla version and going straight to the DLC. It is the same game with extras, most importantly - much more varied missions. It is truly the version of the game that the original should have been.


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


    Pulled the trigger on Far Cry 3. Been meaning to give it a go for a while now, hopefully I'll get around to it before the next summer sale.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 728 ✭✭✭9bred4


    Fook sake lads I had to go get Far Cry Blood Dragon because someone mentioned it..

    I was unprepared for the mass onslaught of the steam sales...now I've missed DayZ on discount! Only 15% off though, was expecting a bit more?!?

    You haven't missed it - it's still on sale for the next 40 hours or so! And it's only an alpha - never likely to get more of a discount really... Although it's ridiculous that they included it in the daily deals at all with such a low discount.

    Just bought the witcher for some reason. Doubt I'll ever play it. Doh

    Oh, maybe I should read the time thing on it...enough time for me to load some money onto the account then! Agree with that. 15% is like €3 off of it, nothing in the grand scheme of things but oh well! DayZ and papers please looking like the only purchases for me..waiting for GTA V, unless something tasty pops up in daily deals

    Marlow briggs and the mask of death for 99 cent...

    if you feel like some shameless god of war rip off


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 537 ✭✭✭Yeti Beast


    Amazon.com are price matching some items on the Steam sale, but because their prices are in dollars rather than euros, you'll save money (edit - only some of the games work out cheaper in euro... do the math!). Just be aware that not all games are Steam keys, and some won't activate on non-USA accounts.

    Link.

    Was looking at that another time. Good? Or at least worth that price? I have played all GoW games

    The one thing that goes against Amazon, or may be a good thing in the long run is you have to purchase the games one at a time and can't add to the basket.

    American uPlay codes work here?

    Fcuking Steam sales.

    Think to myself yesterday; "Be cool, you already have 377 games on your account and you haven't played half them. All you want is Starbound and Shadowrrun."

    Annnnnd I've just bought The Bureau, Payday 2 and Sid Meier's Pirates.

    I'm just going to put this here to help people....

    http://steamdb.info/calculator/

    It tells you how many games you have... & what & are unplayed.

    I am ashamed at my unplayed %....

    Be wary, my unplayed rate is put at 61% but this includes any game that I stopped playing before March 2009, which is a lot of them (I joined in 2007 and added a lot of serial numbers from games I already had etc. For example, it seems to think I never played a Civilisation game before Civ V... :D). It also doesn't (or usen't anyway) pick up any game played in offline mode and sometimes just gets things wrong.

    Also, like me, you'll have games on there that were the "also rans" from bundles alongside games you bought for nostalgic value (e.g. the X series and old XCOM games for me for example) that you've never played. Finally, I *know* some of those unplayed's are wrong as I know I installed and played some of them (perhaps there was some network error or I was in offline mode or something though).
