Just imagine if Disney and EA merged...

Where do you think the DEA came from?

 

[MysterD]

@Snakey

About your Dorito Pope - in that big green box tied w/ the red bow, are there Doritos in there?

 

[Terlan]

Glad Risk of Rain won. One of my major wants from the sale.

 

[asheskitty]

Where do you think the DEA came from?

I just want to know the horrible truth behind dairy... so often things like "support you local schools" at the supermarket "excluding dairy, tobacco, and alcohol" I had no idea

OMG - my mind's more blown than all of the endings/twists from Bioshock 1, Infinite & Burial At Sea Pt 1 all put together!

Trust me....that's one thing you really don't want to know

You'll regret all nine of your lives

 

[DeathMoJo]

Got the rest of the dlc I was missing for Total War: Shogun 2. If only Rome 2 was as good of a game.

 

[asheskitty]

Five long minutes to another bout of depression and self-loathing.

Wait - you mean that ain't 24/7/365 for you...?

 

[djbooba]

Nothing new for me in tier 2. Any thoughts on Uprising 44 or An Alien with a Magnet? What about Mystery Game? Anyone played that? I'm having trouble finding the Greenlight page for it.

Who says you did? How does a copy of Cargo Commander sound?

Cargo Commander sounds awesome.

 

[wtsutton]

Dudes....I ended up with the best Secret Santa on CAG!

HOOKERS!

He didn't send me hookers...but something pretty damn close.  Thanks, ese!

 

[asheskitty]

Wait - you mean that ain't 24/7/365.242 for you...?

ftfy
#MathIsHard... and my suffering is longer than you think.

 

[pasports31]

Oh mysterd. Your optimistic and zany ways always make me smile

 

[dudebro]

@Snakey

maybe, maybe not {ellen page shrug}

 

[Tsel]

Hmm... Blade Symphony for $3 seems decent.

 

[asheskitty]

 

[travathian]

If I were you, I would pass on PAYDAY 2 until there is a complete version with all DLC for $10.

From PAYDAY 1 to PAYDAY 2, the dev/pub hired some goon from EA that has totally reworked things to screw over gamers. Do not like.

 

[pasports31]

Hmmmmmmmm wonder if jakenome can get TSW for cheaper than dat 10 buckz

 

[CrimsonTribe]

What are the 3 voting choices? I can only see E.Y.E. and Godmode, so the third one is probably not available in my region (Puerto Rico).

 

[MysterD]

In for Blade Symphony.

 

[Miranda]

Bulletstorm $5 (75% off)

 

[aronater]

Bulletstorm

For what discount? 75%?

Edit: Thanks Miranda!

 

[asheskitty]

Does anyone care about the community vote?  I'm thinking of voting Bulletstorm because I enjoyed it.

...not that it matters anyhow... my vote just legitimizes Gaben's systematic corruption.

 

[BrolyB593]

Really hope this gets matched as a daily/flash on Steam. I'm having a hard time convincing myself to buy anything with real currency this week.

Same here. Glad to know it is on the HB Store for that price though if it doesn't get a Flash/Daily.

 

[annihilator]

Yeah, anyone have a preference, speak up now, because I'm going to cast my vote, and I don't care.

 

[CrimsonTribe]

Bulletstorm $5 (75% off)

Thanks - weird that it's region blocked (it is - I can't buy it). If there are a lot of regions that can't buy it, it probably won't win the vote.

 

[MysterD]

EYE @ 90% off gets my vote.

That's EASILY worth it for $1.

Plus, the game's totally bat-crap crazy.

It's like a mix of Deus Ex + huge Multiplayer-sized maps + tons of esoteric symbolism/references + you can hack into other people + you can get human-hacked + all kinds of other insanity.

 

[Neuro5i5]

I have God Mode and Bulletstorm, I think I'd actually buy E.Y.E. for $1.

 

[travathian]

Yeah, anyone have a preference, speak up now, because I'm going to cast my vote, and I don't care.

E.Y.E. is my preference, cheapo four pack sounds good to me

 

[ninjaculate]

I voted Bulletstorm because it's a fun game and I don't have it on PC yet.

 

[gilby]

Cargo Commander sounds awesome.

Then it's on its way.

Dudes....I ended up with the best Secret Santa on CAG!

HOOKERS!

He didn't send me hookers...but something pretty damn close. Thanks, ese!

I feel I should somehow blush.

 

[MysterD]

Thanks - weird that it's region blocked (it is - I can't buy it). If there are a lot of regions that can't buy it, it probably won't win the vote.

Bulletstorm requires G4WL.

It probably is only supported by those G4WL territories.

 

[asheskitty]

Fine, but, just for you.  I'll vote E.Y.E.  (I already own it, played a little, wasn't in the mood / didn't grab me right away).

Edit: MysterD's post right above this one, implies nothing.

 

[spoderman]

Hmmmmmmmm wonder if jakenome can get TSW for cheaper than dat 10 buckz

It's unavailable to buy in some regions, including BR and RU, so probably not.

ballz.

 

[MysterD]

Dammit - where's a $5.25 TSW sale when you guys need one?

 

[indef]

RIPD is awful.

According to forums, RIPD is just a reskinned God Mode.

By my math, that makes God Mode something I will foolishly buy because it has cards.

 

[theemadgamer]

Hmmmm - doesn't the villain Two-Face do that...?

Yeah, but he cheats.....

 

[Detruire]

Hmm... Blade Symphony for $3 seems decent.

Multiplayer-only = pass for me.

Does anyone care about the community vote? I'm thinking of voting Bulletstorm because I enjoyed it.

...not that it matters anyhow... my vote just legitimizes Gaben's systematic corruption.

I'd vote for Bulletstorm if it didn't require GFWL, and for EYE if I hadn't bought it years ago for $2.50. Guess that means I'll be voting for Godmode.

 

[FireS]

Payday 1 gets the 90% treatment but the Wolfpack DLC is a measly 15% off...

[Trusty Mutsi]

Crap, I don't know if I'm gonna bite on The Secret World: Massive Edition for $20. I'm playing the trial now, and I like it, but don't love it.

I'm still in the first world (zombies).

 

[paz9x]

That type of treatment has bothered me for a long time. I dont understand why they dont discount wolfpack. I mean i can almost buy payday 2 for what that dlc is going for. dumb.

 

[Necrotron]

Honestly, I enjoyed God Mode for what it was, but the issue now with it is there is pretty much no one playing.  So, unless you want to be mostly soloing through your cooperative horde mode experience, I'd say give it a pass.

Just fyi, it's not all about zombies =)

I like it for the world it creates ...not another damn fantasy MMO.

 

[Nemo_Hyde]

Almost interested in Blade Symphony as a PC version of Soul Calibur.

 

[Trusty Mutsi]

Yeah, I know it's not just zombies.

I think what's turning me off is the fighting mechanics. I guess the action in DC Universe Online spoiled me.

I also am still struggling to figure out how to craft.

Is the extra $10 for the massive edition worth it?

 

[pasports31]

That's too bad. There totally aren't enough games out there that are entirely about zombies

 

[hal]

Fine, but, just for you. I'll vote E.Y.E. (I already own it, played a little, wasn't in the mood / didn't grab me right away).

Edit: MysterD's post right above this one, implies nothing.

EYE just didn't click with me either. I was sort of bored with it.

Bulletstorm, on the other hand, was at least a reasonably fun shooter. I'm voting for it as Epic Games should be responsible enough to remove GFW,

I know we asked for some variety in the deals - and I think they've delivered that to some degree - but there seem to be an awful lot of Early Access games featured in this sale. I know that's the "new thing", but I approach those with caution, having seen over the years so many good ideas flop during the execution phase. How about we wait until you're done with that game before we pay you for it, huh?

 

[Praehard]

How about we wait until you're done with that game before we pay you for it, huh?

My thoughts exactly, I got burned last sale with Under the Ocean, and it hasnt been touched since july I think. Also these multiplayer only indie games worry me. What happens when the servers are empty? you got nada.
