[STEAM] Deals Thread
« on: October 15, 2009, 04:47:35 PM »
I find these a particularly good deal, but for my Australian friends, steam deals are a godsend.

Steam generally has a "weekend deal" where the price of a game is drastically dropped. These deals are limited time only, so I try to get the word out as quickly as possible.

In the past, I've picked up the id pack for 25% off, The orange box for 10% off, the epic pack for 10% off, and most recently, Left 4 dead for 50% off.

Sometimes deals pop up mid-week, such as when I picked up Gmod for $5.

This week, THQ is releasing a different deal each day. Today, Saints Row 2 is 75% off

So, $7 dollars about. I don't think my system is quite up to playing it, but it is a deal not to be missed.

It really does want to download 11 gb of assets. That's a lot of stuff.

I am talking about specific Australians.

I also forgot to mention that half life 2 deathmatch is completely free.

Australians are drastically overcharged on games. A typical xbox 360 game might cost 90 dollars!

Oh I see.  I thought it was a reference to certain British accents and the Australian accent sounding similar.  I saw it on TV once

that's a fairly regular deal, I got it a month ago for that price.

I did pick up left 4 dead 2. My friend insists on playing it on advanced, which is above his difficulty threshold.

Coach is the best support character, but he plays as coach... and he's a lone wolf. Nick and Rochelle died a lot.

I like to play as nick, but you miss out on a lot of his lines if you play as him.

I got Assassin's Creed (the first one) for $5 on Steam about 2 months ago.  I also took advantage of these sales and got about $70 worth of games (which ended up being about 20 some games).  F***, it's getting to be like iTunes.  Damn the compulsion buys.

I bought Torchlight a while back (can't remember if I paid the full $20 or not) but now it's $9.99.  It is WELL WORTH that price.  Also it's by an indie company so I wanted to invest in them to try and keep them going.
