Quick Google search shows that you can go into your registry to find the CD-Key for your Steam copy of Witcher 2.

Also I think $7.49 will be the cheapest since 75% is the magic number (unless they drop the MSRP to $20).

i feel like i should get legend of grimrock

any opinions?

I have been eyeing Emerald City Confidential by Wadjet Eye (makers of Blackwell Deception, Gemini Rue, Resonance etc.).

It is 60% off @ $3.99 now. It wasn't on sale at all during the summer sale. It hasn't been 75% off since 2010 and yet with my track record with these things...

I also kind of want the Valusoft Simulation Gaming pack even though it's only 50% off because it contains that gem of a game Prison Tycoon 4: Supermax which has now been removed from Steam's store as a separate game outside of that bundle which only appears on big holiday sales.

See the list of The Witcher 2 Extras on GOG here in them middle of the page.

I have no clue if the Steam Version got updated w/ all of these extras, so Steam Version owners could comment on this, if they'd like...
...and they comment on if Witcher 2 Steam version comes w/ a key that can be activate on GOG (or not)...

For $3.74, absolutely. I bought it full price and love it. Although I am stuck... lol.

That's why it got hella-slammed, when the vanilla game was released.

The stand-alone expansion Earth Awakening pretty much fixed ALL of those above said issues - and overhauled the game completely. Earth Awakening was more than new content and new campaign - it also doubled as a major overhaul PATCH. It wasn't released at retail by Atari in the USA. Hence why Earth Awakening wasn't reviewed pretty much by anybody here in the States.

You had to either get the UK Import (from places like Gogamer - which is what I did) or get it digitally.

Plus, Monte Cristo Games Studios is now defunct.

So do you get just the standalone XPAC or both?

In most ways, ABSOLUTELY...

A few VERY minor complaints of mine about Witcher 2 include:

Chapter 3 feels extremely rushed compared to the rest of the game (well, at least before EE patch - ain't played it since EE patch);
we hear a lot about Yennefer, yet we never meet her - so it feels like a major set-up for Witcher 2 expansions and/or Witcher 3;
AND Shani isn't even in Witcher 2.

I think I'm done, unless some sort of unexpected miracle happens with a daily deal.

So, Haul this Year!

Bioshock 1 and 2 (Through the amazon deal) - 4.99
Silverfall + Expansion - 3.74
Kotor 2 - 2.49
Cargo Commander - 2.49
Civ 5: Gods and Kings - 7.49 (through Amazon)
Fallout 3: GOTY - 4.99
Rage - 4.99
XCOM Enemy Unknown - 33.49
XCOM DLC - 3.34
Orcs Must Die 2 Complete - 6.24
Home - 1.01
Witcher 2 - 7.49
Tropico DLC - 1.98

Total = 84.73.

Only real regret is XCOM when it would've been a few dollars cheaper, but I am going to be playing it starting tomorrow when my new computer is up and running, so I don't really mind.

Not too bad, I think.

I can't. This month alone, I bought around 25 games on the PC. I have a problem. ...first step of rehab is admitting your problem. Don't be in denial. Lol :-)

so are there going to be new deals tomorrow? or will the next lightning deal update in 3 hours be the last?

my bad flash deal

I think the biggest culprits are Capcom now. So tomorrow 75% off DMC4.

Anyone?

The lowest call of Cthulhu has gotten has been $5 yes?

I'd recommend players buy Silverfall: Complete Edition [contains both Silverfall (original) + Silverfall: Earth Awakening (stand-alone expansion)].
Install them together into the same folder.
IMHO - it's the BEST way to enjoy both games.
Earth Awakening continues the story from where the ending of Silverfall (original campaign) leaves off, so you're best off playing Silverfall (original campaign) w/ EA installed - just for all the technical improvements.

I played Silverfall (original) BEFORE the expansion even came out; and have played it afterwards when Earth Awakening came out - I bought both imports years ago cheap from Gogamer.
With Earth Awakening installed, the original game's EXTREMELY IMPROVED - it's like a difference of night and day here. All the technical issues are pretty much GONE.
I never tried this game on Win 7, so I can't speak on that. But, on Win XP - yeah, it ran tons better w/ Earth Awakening installed.

DO NOT buy Silverfall original ALONE. Don't do it - you'll be missing out on the overhaul EA gives it, since the original game never got an overhaul patch.
Earth Awakening IS the overhaul patch....and also contains new content and a new campaign.

The store page says "through November 26th" so draw your own conclusion, I suppose.
