I want Sleeping Dogs but I know I won't play it for a LONG time.

It is cheap now but I can almost guarantee that by the time I would play it the game and like all of the DLC together would be this price.

I just want to buy it though haha

 
how is the DLC on assassins creed revelations?  is it better to get the base game for $5 or the gold edition(with dlc content) for $7.50?  I may have to wait for a bigger sale, honestly, it will just go onto the backlog.

Well I just hit the point where there was just too much in the OP and CAG decided that was that and refused to save my edit. So I guess stuff will have to start being cut from the persistent deals section (yes I realize they are somewhat pointless), so if anyone wants to chime in on what is best to remove first (ie. what nobody will miss), that'd make things easier :)

I admire the fact that you're linking everything, but it's probably unnecessary. Steam isn't like Amazon where you have to hunt endlessly for sales. Unique (Daily, Flash, CC) sales hit the front page of Steam and that's where'd I'd link - but just once. The items themselves can simply be text.

Now, persistent deals probably need to remain linked as those are a little harder to find.

I'm hoping that's an oversight and it'll go back to 50%. I passed it up last time, thinking I could return to it when it went on sale again. I may end up waiting until the next sale if not.

"You have spent $11.xx in the store since the start of the sale." Okay. "Progress to next card drop:" -> bar shows approximately 20%.

$10/card, my ass.
Click to expand...
Thats right .. 11.99 would have put you all the way through 1 card and 20% on the way to the next card. So you should have gotten one card in your inventory and your progress bar would show 20% which is the percentage you are towards the next one.

 
Hell yes, today was a good day for me. System Shock 2 is back (yayy!!); found out I spent $4.50 too much yesterday for DmC (boo) but got the weapon DLC (yay) and picked up DMC3 & 4 while I was at it; AC:R is finally 75% off so I snagged that; and Year of the Snake DLC for Sleeping Dogs finally dropped to 75%. I'm happy (and my fiance is going to murder me).

Lost Archive is slow paced portal-lite with a dibble of story about Desmond. I didn't like it. Rest is multiplayer iirc

Any opinions on the DLC for Sleeping Dogs?  I don't want any of the unlock stuff, but are Year of the Snake, Nightmare in North Point, or Zodiac Tournament worth picking up?

By all means wait if you want, but you should look more closely at the DLC. You may not want a pack that includes everything. Most of it is cosmetic or early-unlocks (cheats?) for thing you can earn in the game anyway. Only a couple add minor missions.

 
Chemosh013 said:
Well yes, that's how I got it, but since that's no longer available it's not really relevant.

Check the spam cesspool trading thread. It also means that 90% off / $4 isn't the best thing since sliced bread. And gives those asking emotionally-reinforced learning on how to level up their CAG skills. So yeah, relevant.

 
Thanks to both who replied. I have that enhanced steam script but am using my phone at work at the moment. Now to debate Mark of the Ninja....lol
 
So I pass the Humble Weekly it was in because it was the only game I wanted out of it, so now it is $0.49 is Serious Sam The Random Encounter at all worth playing? For some reason it keeps grabbing my attention and looks sorta fun, but I've heard very mixed opinions on it.

 
Bought Alan Wake 4$ isn't as good as 1$ but didn't have gabenbucks back then, and got the Orcs Must Die 2 dlc. OMD2 is a super fun game for those on the fence about it.

Really considering Dragonborn even at -30% as it's the last thing I want from this stupid sale.

Just wait for the daily deal, I think thats what I'm going to do before I buy Skyrim. Are all the DLC's good? Debating if I want to pick up the LE or not.

Now that's extreme-CAG... stressing over a $0.49 game.

Imo, you'd still have been better off picking it up for $1 on the Humble and having gift fodder... but this is $.51 cheaper for you...

well I'm trying not to get locked out of the marketplace by having to use a new payment option, so with only around $3.xx left in my wallet I'm trying to make it go as far as I can. I also figured no one would want/need any of the SS games after that, so I would have gotten stuck with a bunch of unused codes.

I added $50 with a steam wallet code (bought from a local EB Games store) earlier today, where previously I've always used a credit card to add funds. I haven't been locked out of the marketplace (I've both bought and sold since redeeming the code.)

So at least in my experience, you can safely use a steam wallet code to add funds without being locked out of the marketplace - even if you haven't used a wallet code as a funding method before.

PS. First damn thing I've bought from EB Games in years :)

I have heard that Random Encounter is pretty bad. I cannot say from personal experience, though it is the only SS game I have avoided purchasing.

As far as I know all the dlc's add a ton of content to the game and open it up quite a bit with Dawnguard adding in werewolves and a vampire/werewolf faction war, and Dragonborn adds Morrowinds location back into the game.

That's true, I'll stand firm till it's on daily maybe a price mistake will make it 50% off we can hope. \o/

Seconded. I simply cannot justify spending over $10 for DLC no matter how badly I want it. I'd rather backlog the game until I can get everything for 66-75% off.

On another note, could someone hook me up with a guest pass for TSW? I'm certainly not buying it off steam at that price, but between asheskitty and Idiot bringing the damn thing up numerous times a day, I have to give it another try.

hmm, I guess that's an option. Does gamestop still charge tax on them like they do XBL/PSN cards?

It was $32 on GameFly a couple weeks ago, I passed expecting it to be lower this sale on Steam. I have been disappointed so far.

Also, How are DMC3 and 4 for $5 each? $25 for the new one is too much for me, but are either of the older games worth getting at $5?

I'm also curious. Got the game a while ago but not sure which DLC is worth it.

Year Of The Snake is ok, but not as fun as the main game because you are playing a uniformed cop the whole story. You also don't have access to any of the main game stuff.

Zodiac Tournament is more fun, in that they do the whole Shaw Brothers/Enter The Dragon thing. On the downside, it is pretty short.

Also, for anybody interested, if you go to the main DMC page it just lists 3 and 4 for $5 each, but if you go to their actual individual pages there is a bundle with 3 and 4 for $7.49

Agreed. I'm still missing all the DLC because the prices have been a joke.

I still need to go back and finish the DLC to finish some of the achievements. I need to finish leveling up as a Triad and six more random achievements. I don't see two of them on my list so I assume I have to buy some DLC to see them?

I agree with both of these opinions, for those who were asking about SD DLC.

If you're picking and choosing, Nightmare in North Point is a little different because it features an SD spin on the undead. It's kinda fun but like YotS, you're limited in the vehicles/clothes/boosts that you have access to from the main story. Ironically, if I hadn't finished YotS first, I wouldn't have been able to access the SWAT uniform and probably wouldn't have beaten the last part of this one.

Wheels of Fury is also pretty cool. The car missions are fun and when you're done you have a tricked-out A-class car that easily wins any A-class car race.

My recommendations: WoF = ZT > Nightmare > YotS.

Nightmare in North Point is quite a different spin on the Sleeping Dogs story but I liked it. It was much more fun than Year of the Snake, which had lame missions IMHO (not to mention a few bugs).

Are Devil May Cry 3/4 good ports?

DMC4 has always been a great port (I've owned it since near-PC-release retail.

The DMC3 PC port was quite unoptimized at the time, so PCs couldn't handle it well at the time. My 4 year old gaming PC (Phenom II X3 720 @ 2.8 GHz + GTX 260) easily handles DMC3 staying over 60 FPS at max settings. Keep in mind DMC3 was originally a PS2 game... the PC port was just unoptimized. Oh and you're going to want a DirectInput capable controller (Logitech F310/510/710/RumblePad2 or DS3 w/BetterDS3).. or be prepared mess with software to get a 360 (Xinput) only controller to work properly. (on 360 one axis (RS-Y) is reveresed and triggers are mapped to a single axis).

It was $32 on GameFly a couple weeks ago, I passed expecting it to be lower this sale on Steam. I have been disappointed so far.

Also, How are DMC3 and 4 for $5 each? $25 for the new one is too much for me, but are either of the older games worth getting at $5?

Both are worth getting. DMC4 is better and works fine with 360 (Xinput) controllers. See DMC3 controller note above.

Both for $7.50... grr.. this steam sale is sucking so bad I'm tempted to rebuy these on steam (have retail).

I knew unpacking that Really Big Sky booster pack was a bad idea

I think how well the DMC3 port runs may vary a lot depending on specs. People on the Steam forums report that it has some bad frame drops even on high-end machines, while other people say it runs great on their low-end systems. I guess it's a crapshoot.

CAG turned into a porn page once for me years ago (and no, it wasn't a virus or anything like that). It was weird. I came to the site and huge porn ad was displayed over the site. Reloaded and it was gone. Contacted the admins and it never happened again.

Tanner Mayes or Riley Mason?

Looks like Assassin's Creed I, II, Brotherhood, and Revelations are all $4.99 each.

Does anyone know if you can activate these games on Uplay? Or if they automatically show up in your Uplay library? I'm honestly not interested in having them on Steam, only Uplay.

Hmm... thanks for pointing that out.

I'm merely sharing my personal experience. (And I really doubt another CAG will chime in on DMC3-PC). I'm running WIn7-64 fwiw. Imo, unless you have a DirectInput controller (see my last post) or are prepared to mess with software you should probably skip DMC3, which I expect will stop more buyers than a potential performance issue.

 
Squirrel: you can also get wallet cards at best buy, 7-11, and walmart if one of those are more convenient. They shouldn't charge tax on them that I recall.
