I own the base game and all the DLC. When I go to buy the Ultimate Edition, it says I already own it.

That might be because I own all the DLC, but check to make sure you can even buy the Ultimate Edition in the first place.

I only have FO:NV Vanilla... and can't buy Ultimate Edition, it says I already own it :(

It's the second time I got punished for buying a game earlier and support the developers. But will be my last time.

 
fallout 3 GOTY and FO New Vegas Ultimate edition for $5 is great, easily over 100 hours each game

for FO NV, Old World Blues best DLC with Honest Harts a second for me in that it was beautiful to go through Zion

Hitman Absolution not bad on pricing

Portal 2 for $5 for people like me that have yet to pick it up

 
alright I spoiled most of the OP. Not sure I like how it looks, but at least it's easier to navigate. There is now 10000x more of a chance it will all break, but fingers crossed it will survive the sale ;) 

 
I have so many games backlogged and I am tempted to get more every time I see these sales.

For $5 it's not a bad deal. Plus with the flashlight mess fixed from the original game, why not. It's only $5 and comes with the other Doom games and the Doom 3 expansion. So yeah, worth it IMHO.

Thing is - I also already own Doom Collection from Retail, which included Ultimate Doom 1 + Doom 2 + Final Doom.

 
... did the prices for the single Tomb Raider games go up? I could've sworn they were cheaper yesterday. I only wanted Legend and Underworld, boo.

Gonna pass on Deadlight, it looks okay but nothing that I need to play. My money will be spent elsewhere this sale.

Hoping we get some good 9pm flash deals. I spent a total of $2.50 the past two days. (Penny Arcade). First two days were killer on my wallet ($35).

Odd that they changed it, I bet tons of people last summer sale ended up just buying the ultimate editions of games rather than the dlc collections. Still super lame it doesn't work anymore.

I haven't played either Fallouts yet, would one of them be sufficient or is it really worth playing both?   Is the DLC on Ultimate New Vegas worth double the price?

Thanks!

I just did the same. I was kind of hoping to install some graphics mods, though, and I'm reading in the forum that I guess you need some program to enable mods, and need to have SS2 installed to a directory other than program files in order for it to work. Sounds like a hassle, so maybe I'll just play it "classic."

I want Metro Last Light, but feel I should probably wait longer for a lower sale.
Click to expand...
Why don't you just make a second Steam installation directory and install it there? I have two, one on my SSD and one on my crappy HD. I haven't looked into the mod yet, but if it's something like running Texmod, it's really not a big deal and the process is extremely easy.

I dunno why mods scare people so much. :lol: I pretty much install mods on every game I have if possible (I just don't install heavy game-changing mods on my first playthrough, usually, keeping it to texture stuff and game fixes).

hal said:
But yeah, that vote was a crime against humanity - I was hoping for Dishonored as well.
Click to expand...
Dishonored has been cheap a bunch of times too... plus it was in the GG Bethesda fuckup and tons of people were selling it for cheap back then. I voted for BL2 because I wanted to pick up some of the skins for 33 cents a piece with Steam wallet. Both Dishonored and BL2 had/are gonna have dailies anyways, so it's not like it matters.

Blade said:
Can't see any glitches today like they had yesterday with Tomb Raider, which is pretty disappointing. They generally would discount all of the Hitman games and all of the Total War games, but the rest of both franchises are still at 50% off. :whistle2:(
Click to expand...
Call me crazy, but I think that's a calculated decision on Valve's part this year.

They're focusing on NEW, pricier games, where they're putting their "impressive" discounts. The new, higher discounted game gets cards, tons of people buy it, and they leave the other titles in the series with mediocre discounts because they figure people will say "I want that one too... but hey, I just made $X.XX on cards from the other game in the series, so I'll use some of that money to buy it!"

Sadly, this strategy is probably working flawlessly for them.

I'd say jump on Vegas Ultimate. A lot of people prefer 3, but I like the environment and characters a bit more in New Vegas. You definitely don't need to play both, and doing so might just burn you out a bit on the gameplay. The game has more than enough content that you can get your fill without the DLC, but at this price, you'll be glad you've got the option.

I've spent over 100 hours w/ each FO3: GOTY and FO:NV Ultimate.

Both of those are great games: $10 for both = STEAL.

Plus, FO:NV has one of the best DLC's ever made, IMHO - Old World Blues. I spent over 11 hours w/ that DLC alone - and still did NOT do everything in that DLC.

 
For all of you who picked up System Shock 2, I followed this modding guide last night and installed all of the major mods and the game looks a lot better than vanilla.  It was really easy and painless.

I think both FO3 and FO:NV are great. I don't recommend playing those games back-to-back, of course - especially ridiculous time-sinks like those.

I think FO3 did a great job w/ turning FO3 into a Bethesda-style open-world game. That's what made FO3 so great - it actually pulled off making a modern-day style game in the Fallout universe actually work. The game's fantastic - it felt fresh and amazing at that time; and set the tone for how the gameplay would be. Oh, and VATS is awesome.

I also think probably why many weren't super-thrilled w/ FO:NV that weren't thrilled w/ that b/c the gameplay was, pretty much, VERY similar. FO3 is also often much more serious in tone, when compared to most of the other FO games (i.e. FO1 and 2 by Black Isle; and FO:NV by Obsidian).

Though, I don't think the narrative and story-telling there in FO3 are in the league of what Obsidian did w/ FO:NV. While the story here might be more emotional and tug at your heart (with Dad), I don't think it's as technical as the stuff Obsidian did w/ FO:NV.

I mean - do we really want to compare Bethesda vs. Obsidian (especially w/ Chris Avellone there), in terms of writing, characters, personality, and storytelling? This one's a no-brainer - Obsidian usually normally outclasses Bethesda - and most other studios, for that matter - on stuff like this. It's usually Obsidian's QA department we wonder about...

FO:NV also did a much better job w/ the tongue-in-cheek dark comedic stuff - you know, the stuff the original FO1 and FO2 were known for.

IMHO, both games are great in their own ways - highly recommend both FO3: GOTY and FO:NV Ultimate.

Fallout 3 GOTY is awesome, so much great about the game and for only $5, a no-brainer. I haven't played NV but for another $5 you get a complete edition. Tons of hours to be had, big value.

New Vegas has many improvements over Fallout 3. I'd say start with NV, as 3 has certain frustrations that might leave a bad taste in your mouth. And do grab the DLC, as I hear it's great, and some mods require it if you want to play those.. I bought the regular disc originally on PS3, and I ended up regretting not buying the Ultimate Edition instead (ended up buying the Ultimate Edition on Steam just now to compensate).

Do you ever buy games from Amazon DVG?

If you do buy games from Amazon DVG & you haven't used "Gooncave" extra 15% off promo code (single use for this code only)...

...you could get Tomb Raider [2013] (base game only) for $10.62 there:

http://www.amazon.com/Square-Enix-41017Tomb-Raider2-Download/dp/B007VFHGZ4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1373832213&sr=8-1&keywords=tomb+raider+2013

Just take the key they give to you and plug it into Steam.

I think also NV does a crazy good job w/ giving you different options to finish a quest - based on your actual stats, skills, and perks.

While Bethesda did do a good job w/ this in FO3, Obsidian went crazy w/ this in FO:NV - just like they did w/ Alpha Protocol.

Why would anyone vote for Torchlight 2 knowing from the card list that it is going to be one of the featured daily deals?
Click to expand...
I voted for it, because I'd like to start idling/playing for the cards sooner rather than later (so I have more Steam wallet in pocket before deals come around), and because the other two discounts are pitiful. Gunpoint hasn't had a proper sale yet, true. Even once it's 40% off in this sale, it still won't have had a proper sale.

Considering it's Capcom, good luck with that...

Shifty Effect said:
Can't take back my vote, plus how do you know that the daily deal will have just as good of a discount as the CC deal?

I am admittedly new to steam, besides trying steam out when it first launched. I ran through some guides for steam sales and read nothing about how the cards relate to sales. Sorry.
Click to expand...
Don't be sorry. People get way too serious about this stuff. Just vote for what you wanna buy and fuck the haters.

I'd highly, highly recommend installing these mods on FNV before you play (even if you're "antimod").

Project Nevada

(Extremely smart update of the game that adds more customizable settings to gameplay, sprint function, grenade hotkey, and much much more. It even adds night vision and whatnot to power armor helmets...)

Weapon Mods Expanded

(Obsidian had a great idea when they added the weapon mod system to the game... but sadly they clearly didn't have time to fully flesh it out. This mod adds weapon mods like silencers, laser sights, etc to pretty much every weapon in the game and finishes Obsidian's work.)

NMC's Texture Pack

(Gorgeous high resolution texture replacer. This is literally the best hires texture mod I've ever come across for any game. Bethesda games can have some awful textures, so I'd highly recommend this.)

Weapon Retexture Project

(Same as above, just retextures the weapons in the game. You see them up close when you're holding them, so the low res textures are pretty obvious, making this a nice mod.)

Blackout ENB

(I'm sure you've heard of ENBs before, but if not, these mods completely overhaul the graphical effects of the game, enhancing the lighting, bloom, etc etc. They're pretty hard on your FPS, so if you don't have a very strong card, you could skip this one. That said, there are a lot of easily editable settings in these, so you can probably get your FPS stable while still prettying up the game.)

None of these mods change the experience, in my opinion, they just update the game and make it better. Have fun playing the best open world game... ever. :D

Buy Doom 3 with expansion and mod it with the HD mods out there.

 
Since we're on the FO:NV subject....

Josh Sawyer (project director and lead designer on FO:NV for Obsidian) did make a mod to make FO:NV way more Hardcore than the game's actual official Hardcore Mode.

So, if Hardcore Mode ain't hardcore enough for you and you want something harder, look here for the JE Sawyer Hardcore Mode Mod (Version 5.1):.

EDIT:

I ain't even tried FO:NV on Official Hardcore Mode, nevermind JE Sawyer's Mod. ;)

I do have it DL'ed, in case I do get that FO:NV bug....
