Keyrock Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Okay. Just making sure. Good lookin' out. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
Labadal Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 I'd buy a couple of copies of some Obsidian games if I only knew if any of the money I spent went their way.
Majek Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 And a bunch of the same stuff that's already been on sale multiple times here on the penultimate day. So much for me picking up La Mulana or Of Orcs and Men. Oh well, I've got plenty of stuff in the backlog, I'll just wait for the winter sale, or maybe GOG will hook me up with La Mulana earlier than that. Why didn't you buy La Mulana on GOG already? it was really cheap ( more than 50% off) in December/January. 1.13 killed off Ja2.
Hurlshort Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 So I got the Summer Badge, and then promptly went and sold off all of my extra cards. I'm hoping to raise a buck or two to help pay for Farcry Blood Dragon.
Oerwinde Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 And a bunch of the same stuff that's already been on sale multiple times here on the penultimate day. So much for me picking up La Mulana or Of Orcs and Men. Oh well, I've got plenty of stuff in the backlog, I'll just wait for the winter sale, or maybe GOG will hook me up with La Mulana earlier than that. The last day of the sale is always a recap day. You know La Mulana and Of Orcs and Men are both on sale right? They have been for the whole sale. They're 50% off right now. They just haven't gone on a daily deal for 75% off or whatever. There are a lot more games on sale than just the daily specials that you see on the main page every day. Take a look. Rise of the Argonauts is so worth 2.50 if you have a gamepad.

Enoch Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Well, the two bigger-name games I was hoping to get cheap both showed up with a sale price around $10. So I'll be playing XCOM and Dishonored at some point in the relatively near future. I came close to grabbing Don't Starve, too, but I suspect I won't have the time/inclination to play that anytime especially soon. And it'll be on sale again at some point. I might still grab The Walking Dead. I generally dislike horror-type themes, but there really aren't enough non-twitch-based character-driven games around to be so picky.
ManifestedISO Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 ^^ Exactly, I just bought The Walking Dead. I'm intrigued at the idea of "short story video game fiction." Also I want something to substitute for The Last of Us, until I can finally play that game on a PS4. All Stop. On Screen.
HoonDing Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Xeno Clash 2 had a -75% sale. Picked it up. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Keyrock Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 In the end, all I got from this sale was The Lara Croft Murder Simulator (mistake) and a DLC for GRID2 (*shrugs*). Very underwhelming for me. Oh well, it's for the best, I have plenty of stuff to play as it is, and that's before Shadowrun Returns and the Misery 2.0 mod for Call of Prypiat drop.

Hurlshort Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) I got a pretty long list, all for decent prices. With Kickstarter I had not bought many games this last 12 months, so it was nice to splurge. Saint's Row 3 Farcry 3 Farcry Blood Dragon The Cave NBA2k13 Risen 2 Organ Trail Chivalry Fallout: NV last two DLC's. I still think I kept it around $50, so that's not bad.

Keyrock Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Oh, I forgot, I scooped up Risen 2 also. No time to play it now, though. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
Hassat Hunter Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Final death toll; Far Cry 3 - Blood Dragon Risen 2 Gold Sleeping Dogs + DLC Dishonored + DLC System Shock 2 ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created.

Rosbjerg Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Dishonered wanted to try it on max on my own PC.. Not dissapointed. Other than that I bought the Endless Space DLC and the Walking Dead 400 days.. I was hampered by only having real internet on the last 2 days. :/ Fortune favors the bald.
Oerwinde Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Anyone else bothered that every time you run a new game on steam, it tries to install directx? It would be nice if there was a flag to show whether its installed or not so it can skip that part. 1 The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
Tale Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Anyone else bothered that every time you run a new game on steam, it tries to install directx? It would be nice if there was a flag to show whether its installed or not so it can skip that part.The problem is that each distribution of Direct X is ever so slightly different. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/08/03/why-steam-makes-you-install-directx-repeatedly/ “This is not a matter of making sure your overall DirectX install being up-to-date. Microsoft has a helper library with D3D called D3DX. There are over 40 different versions of the D3DX library for D3D9 alone, and many more for D3D10 and 11 as well. Each game that uses the D3DX helper library is linked to a specific version. As such the game must run the correct D3D installer version that it was specifically compiled with to ensure the binaries exist. Even if a later version of the binary is already installed, that version cannot be used, and even if your DirectX install is up-to-date because you’ve run a more recent version of the installer that is not guaranteed to have installed all previous versions. Even worse, if a version is installed for x86 it doesn’t guarantee the same version is installed for x64, so 64 bit and 32 bit games may need to run the same exact installer version but targeting different platforms when run.” "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Deraldin Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Anyone else bothered that every time you run a new game on steam, it tries to install directx? It would be nice if there was a flag to show whether its installed or not so it can skip that part. Can't say it really bothers me. It usually pops up for a few seconds and then it's gone. Supposedly the version check is part of the directx installer and not something steam can do on it's own. That and it's checking to make sure all the little pieces parts that that specific game requires are installed and the newer ones aren't backwards compatible for games built using older versions.
LadyCrimson Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 I resisted the sales...most didn't have any cats, so it wasn't too difficult. Anyone else bothered that every time you run a new game on steam, it tries to install directx? It would be nice if there was a flag to show whether its installed or not so it can skip that part.Yeah, it's annoying (the c+ stuff too) largely because it seems unnecessary most of the time ... or if they are doing any checks, that they take so long. 1 “Things are as they are.

Oner Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 I wanted to get The Walking Dead for a friend of mine, but couldn't for some reason. Steam didn't even let me open the game's page.

Labadal Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Sales ends, spend €42 on Mercenary Kings 4-pack. Bravo, lad, bravo.
Humanoid Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 The main inconvenience with the DirectX thing is that you have to be in online mode to do it - if I forget to launch a game at least once right after I download it, then it won't work in offline mode. Anyway, loots: Surgeon Simulator 2013 Season of Mystery: The Cherry Blossom Murders Mark of the Ninja Bastion Euro Truck Simulator 2 Dishonored - The Knife Of Dunwall DLC Deus Ex Human Revolution: The Missing Link DLC Also bought Monaco 4-pack from the official site after they price-matched Steam.

alanschu Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Quick question regarding 400 days. I have a new computer and hence, no local save data. Is this an issue at all?
