Welcome to the Steam Deal Thread V5! You can find link to past threads at the bottom of this post. Read post #2 of this thread for Steam FAQs and more.

This is a Wiki post. Please read this
We appreciate you helping keep this thread up to date. The sales change virtually every day so no one person has the time to update them all. If you notice a game is no longer on sale, feel free to delete its line from the sale list. Of course, if you see a game is on sale, add it to the list. Make sure your changes match the thread's format! For example, every game that's on sale is part of an unordered list. When adding a game to the list, copy an existing line and update the link, title, and prices. That way, the format stays correct. Do not list percentages off! We list the original price and the sale price here. If you have any suggestions for major changes to the post/thread, PM me (EastX) about them.
for instructions on updating the thread.

Steam Retail Key List

What is a CD key and where can I find it?

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7480-WUSF-3601

The CD Key is a serial number with a combination of 13, 18, or 25 letters and numbers - it can be found on a sticker inside your game's case or printed on the game's quick reference card.
The CD Key acts as your proof of purchase for the game - Steam Support may ask for it if you need to establish your ownership of an account. It is recommended that you keep your CD Key in a safe place to ensure the security of your account.

Every game I ever play takes me about double the time it takes anyone else. Kind of like how I eat dessert and sushi slower than anyone in the room... I take my time with things.

Although I guess that doesn't apply to shooters since they're so linear.

BURN!

Also, the same applies for me. I've got a lot of CAGs on Raptr, and I notice how they typically get the same amount of achievements as I do in half the time. I've been working through my backlog recently, and I seriously love Wizorb. Hydrophobia Prophecy isn't as bad as everyone made it out to be. Sure, it's short and linear with some generic enemies and environments, but I'm having fun with it. It's fast-paced with an intriguing story.
 
In other news, I just happen to found the steam page that says which retails games can be activated on steam, and found out that my Unreal Tournament 3 retail from years ago activates on steam. yey :D
 
The thing that threw me off in Spec Ops was the massive use of lens flare that gave me a headache while playing the demo. I know it's in the middle eastern desert, but is there any way to turn that down so I can actually play it?
 
[quote name='Syntax Error']Also, once you finish the story in Darkness II, you have the option of starting over but with all your accumulated Darkness powers. I guess if you want to pick up any secrets/artifacts you missed the first time around that might be appealing.[/QUOTE]

And I actually suggest getting them; the text on each is interesting/clever anyway, but the dialogue reading by Johnny is fucking great.
 
Was looking at getting the Warhammer DOWII DLC, the Steam deal right now for Chaos Rising & Retribution, buy or pass? Same with DOW 1 Gold/Platinum, has it been cheaper?

http://www.steamprices.com/us

This website is a useful tool in determining what a game's lowest price has been. It's not perfect. I occasionally spot omissions of sale prices I know for a fact occurred. And it only goes back about 2 years (when the site first started running). But more times than not, it'll help you out.

It'll also let you know what the prices are for games in other region. For example, the DOW 1 games are much cheaper in the Eurozone. You could save another 50% off of the US price if you managed to get somebody over there to help you with buying DOW 1 Platinum.

I can't really comment on whether or not these games are actually worth playing (I've never played them).
 
Just beat the Darkness 2 in a tad under 6 hours. Was a good game, got a bit sick of Jenny, but found it fun, only missed a couple of the relics.
 
I haven't played either of the Batman games but have been looking forward to them. Going to pick them up on the Amazon deal, but wanted to know approximately how long a playthrough of each should be?
 
Iirc, AA campaign was around 30 hours, AC was similar, maybe a little shorter. That does not include time puzzling out all the collectables, challenge maps, etc. They are both fantastic. Imo, play with a controller. I feel that the hard (not NG+) setting on AC is easier than hard on AA. That is to say that if you complete AA on normal, I'd recommend hard on AC.

Oh yeah, and don't hurt your head too much. There are some collectibles you run across early in AA that you won't be able to get until you get some of your gadgets.

I am going to jump in and say that your play through is going to be on the long end of the spectrum. Now I did maybe one or two challenge maps and got every collectable in the campaign. My total time? 15 hours. I wasn't trying to just speed through it, but I also did not look at the scenery for 15 hours. Maybe my playtime was really short, but unless I played through the campaign multiple times I can't see how I could have gotten anywhere near your playtime.

No, 15 hours is definitely closer to normal than 30, for AA at least.

Pmed.

That looks like a decent deal from amazon. Its nice that they are finally providing steam keys for some of their games.
 
[quote name='DPsycho']Bought BeMine 5 at the dollar level. Already have the Oddbox, and Tropico 3 plus graphic novels wasn't enough to make me want to put in the other four bucks. NEO Scavenger looks really interesting; hoping it gets Greenlit.

However, my Steaming for the night is going to consist of Skyrim, which I managed to get Best Buy to price match at $9.99 today. After my TRU didn't have it, I was ready to go back to waiting for the GotY, but then a friend gifted me the Hearthfire DLC. I figured it was worth a shot. Went a lot more smoothly than the last time I had them price match for me, and it wasn't even a clearance item that time...

Color me surprised, anyway.[/QUOTE]
FYI, with the 25% voucher floating around, Dawnguard comes out to $11 and change at GreenManGaming, in case you want that as well. But congrats. I might try the same today for Diablo 3. I've never really played loot clickfests like that before, so I'm interested, just not $60 interested.

Also, Skyrim on PC is god-tier. A whole 'nother experience. If your rig is beefy, grab some mods and experience it as it was meant to be played. If you're interested, I'll whip together a shortlist of some must-have graphics mods.

I just played through both games recently on Steam. Steam says that I played Arkham Asylum for 22 hours and Arkham City for 30.

Keep in mind that my AA time was 2 playthroughs on normal and hard, finding all the riddler trophies, and doing the challenges. But, that was also my 3rd time playing that game so I already knew where everything was so it was pretty fast.

Arkham City was just 1 playthrough on normal and finding all the trophies and some of the DLC.

I have B:AA at 13 hours, which was my second playthrough and getting all the riddler trophies. Played a little bit of the challenge modes, but mostly that's the campaign.

You will put plenty of hours into the base campaigns by themselves. I'd play through them first, dabble in the multi options then decide. By the time you do all that you will either be burnt out or ready to purchase it again around the time the Christmas sale hits.
 
[quote name='RollingSkull']I thought Spec Ops was some of the best shooter action I've had in a while. The controls were messed up and spread about weirdly though and the higher difficulties just became stupid rather than fun but all in all I enjoyed it a lot as a shooter.

The plot was great too.[/QUOTE]

wait wut lol.

I got Spec Ops through the Desert to Sea bundle, and I hadn't really played much BioShock prior to that so definitely a good deal for me at the time. Most of the games I play are shooters so compared to Gears, Spec Ops was definitely mediocre and simple as far as the gameplay is concerned, and the graphics aren't anything special. But the directing and pacing kept me playing, good character development and the enemy variation/A.I. is challenging at least. Beat the game and half of it on suicide in 6, but also explored all the endings and got 4/5ths of the achievements including the intel and that's about 9-10 hours total; you can get pretty much the most out of it in that time.

I'd say its great for $10 but I wouldn't pay more than $20-25 for it if it were retail. Its pretty captivating but you can grasp the story at the end, not much replay value but its good they focused on the story. It'll leave you wanting more.


Lucky13 - yeah I'm thinking about the DLC too. But I think I should beat the main game first lol, got it in the GMG THQ-Pack. All the extra DLC for Retribution only looks like BS tho.

Oh boy I can't wait to answer the same questions about SR3 DLC over and over and over again.

Hint: Season Pass has all three actual content packs but they're all mediocre at best.

Thanks. I took your advice and just bought the complete pack without any of the Retribution DLC.

Yeah there's so much of it that as someone who has never played the game it makes you ask yourself does any of this really add to the game or is it all just crap.

I don't think that I agree with either of those things. Stealth games existed before Thief and several have improved upon stealth gameplay a lot since the last entry was released.

Well, I'm going to grab Thief Gold and complete my collection. After buying the games separate (different sources), I saved a whole 12-cents, haha.

Thanks for the info, buying it right now.

Another question: which one is considered the best and which is considerd the worst? Or are they all good enough to warrant full playthroughs?

I do have a browser window open to GMG's Skyrim sale, and it is a consideration, but the consensus seems to be that Dawnguard doesn't add more than about ten dollars' worth of content. I'm hoping to sit on my hands and wait for a deeper discount. I'm confident that the base game and building a house will keep me occupied at least until the winter sale.

As far as mods go, I've put in enough hours now unmodded that I should start looking into graphics improvements. I like to see a game as it was first to better appreciate the improvements. I'd welcome a post or a PM with your suggestions, thank you.

I see what you did there.

Considering it's on Steam, I highly suggest checking the Workshop and sorting by highest rated or most popular. There are some great mods in there, ranging from better lighting placement, to higher definition grass and glaciers, to better face models for Aela and Mjoll. They all work well in the game and contribute to enhance the overall experience, plus they don't take much to run unlike the official HD texture packs. I would link you to more, but Steam seems to be down right now.

And this is truly why I'm so grateful for owning this on PC. There's a seemingly infinite amount of content they can add in the vast expanses of barren land, and it's all free. I haven't downloaded the town of Laintar Dale yet, but it'll put me at over 100 installed mods.

TFFix basically took T2 Unofficial Patch 1.19's NEW Engine and ported it over to Thief 1.[/QUOTE]

Do you know where I can find the Thief 1 patch? I'm going to play them soon and prefer to start with the first one. Do I just follow the same link?

lmao! I watched the 2nd one and thought it was good but the first was even better! Also watched grammer nazis...looks like college humor has a lot of good stuff there

how did they make that anyway?
 
[quote name='Davinatorman']Thanks for the info, buying it right now.

Another question: which one is considered the best and which is considerd the worst? Or are they all good enough to warrant full playthroughs?[/QUOTE]

I'm wondering this as well. Great reviews but just seems too dated to warrant being put in the backlog.

Looking forward to the Skyrim mod list. I just got it so it'd be cool to beef it up before starting.

I've seen comments pointing at Romancing SaGa 2 & 3 use of assets. The guy who made it's page is here, chiptune songs are available for download.. His youtube channel is here. And wikipedia.
 
Well a little bit more than a day till Dishonored. I am excited but annoyed that Bethesda is not doing preloads of the game. Oh well at least I only paid $45 for it off GMG.
