CS:GO is on my wishlist but suddenly I'm not that eager to play it.

Arg...I can't decide if I want to pay $37.50 for the Darksiders II pre-order. I still haven't played the first. So, I basically have to decide if I want to play the first and second back to back in order to be "part of the conversation" soon after the second game comes out, or if I just want to wait until a sale in 2-4 months...

That explains why people were interested in Arma. I was interested in DayZ but not from purchasing a game to play. Happy news indeed.

I wouldn't call Stacking an adventure game, for me it's more of 3rd person puzzle game. It's quite charming and I like it, but I finished the 2nd level and have yet to get back to it. I made a decision early on to only finish a level only after I've found every solution for each puzzle, and ended up playing the levels for too long.

I got the first one near release and I absolutely loved it.

That being said I am waiting for a sale on this new one.

Yeah I mean the first one is a good game and all but it has been $5 a bajillion times now and THQ and Gamestop even gave 10,000 copies away free recently.

I want the second one but I don't $40+ want it. Hell I don't even think I $20 want it at this point. With THQ you're pretty much guaranteed the price will sink like a rock in not too much time.

Unless you have to have the collector's edition with the mask (don't think I didn't think about it, but the Dishonored whale oil lamp tempts me more) then I would wait.

And Coconut Queen. My girlfriend told me it was time to sleep last night and when I went into the bedroom she was playing it on her laptop and didn't stop for another 30 minutes. Dammit, Motoki....

Just found out the THQshop includes a "Season Pass" for the Darksiders II DLC. That's the stuff that makes pre-orders so enticing. Because the whole game with all the DLC will have to be below $50. Like you said, Motoki, it is likely it will get down to that relatively soon after, though.

I have enough in my backlog, I'll probably just hold off, as well. I'll just try not to feel too left out when I listen to podcasts discussing it. :P

Anyone know if Sniper Elite V2 on gamefly can be activated through steam? It's currently on sale for $24.99.

If you click View more requirements, it says there:
This title installs and requires Steamworks to play

Yes it should activate on Steam.

I can't believe I didn't notice that thanks.

As someone who hasn't played counterstrike in yeeeeeears. Is buying the CS complete pack worth it? Or should I just snag the CS:GO by itself at a discount?

I know its only ~$5 more for the whole pack, but will it be worth buying all the past versions of CS with the new one coming out?

For 5$ more yes. CS and CS: Source are still very active games

I already own CS:Source, if I buy the Counter-Strike complete pack do I get a gift copy? (probably not but I thought I'd ask)

Just wondering if anyone wants to split cost of this one (Supreme Commander Gold) assuming you get 2 copies still?

I would say no. In my opinion after trying them all you will stick with one. I moved from 1.6 to Source and now to GO. I have not looked back even though once in a while I will play source and only because there are quite a few bugs in GO.

And I would assume that with CS:GO moving from BETA to full release, a lot of those bugs will be corrected, and that, while CS and CS:S will continue to have active communities, CS:GO will naturally be the game with the highest ceiling.

Guess the only value of the Complete pack would be listing the extra key's on steam gifts...

Tempted to get the CS pack seeing as I've never played any of them. CS GO looks like something I would enjoy but $18 is a little more than I want to spend right now, especially with my already huge backlog.

Just googled the same question and the answer is no. Steam even says during checkout that you will not receive extra copes of the games you already own in the CS Complete pack.

Guess I will wait for a 50% off deal then.
