Steam Christmas Sale Thread

[Yoshiro]

Not sure about number 1. Torchlight had a major update and has been doing well (and it's a damn fun game as well ) But it's probably been real close.

 

[Lt_Kettch]

Steam shop works again

 

[Rak]

Got Braid as well and the sales are over for me I was expecting some bombshells today but disappointed in the end.

 

[REZ]

Oh my god, Medieval 2 Gold Edition (with Kingdoms Expansion)

 

[Fedorov]

Have any of you guys met all of the win conditions while on the hard settings?

Yes, it sometimes gets very hard when everybody allies against you.


And I don't know, I only played with Spain in the America's campaign and they seemed very strong against the Zerg of the indians

 

[Amerikaner]

So after all of this my only two purchases were Chaos Theory and Stalker. Very surprised ArmA2 didnt even have a small sale.

 

[Jono]

Yep, I was waiting for ArmA 2. Very disappointed with the last bout of sales

 

[Rak]

Anything else I shouldn't miss out? It's kinda sad this sale will be over

 

[Oldih]

Yes, it sometimes gets very hard when everybody allies against you.

I remember that happening in Rome : Total War all the time, all the way to the point I simply stopped playing it because it got so redundant.

No matter what you did, after a while it was you against the whole world

the problem is when it happens in an early stage like it happened to me in the Britannia campaign.

I was playing with Norway, and I got everybody attacking me before I could do anything meaningful, I was crushed, then I restarted the campaign and got my sweet revenge using some methods of questionable morality (and no, is not cheating =P)

Pvt Pile, if you're looking for a good mod for vanilla M2TW (Kingdoms not required), I suggest Broken Crescent. Lots of new factions and units to keep you busy as well as other campaign map improvements.

 

[KrazyKraut]

Always with the content mods. I thought the Total War series had plenty of content as is, what I need are mods that really tweak the rules of the game so it gets less stupid later on. Or total conversions. Are there any of those?

 

[omarfw]

I purchased chaos theory, double agent, the unreal deal pack (for ut3 and so i have perma copies of the other ones)

double agent is 10 gigs so i'll have to wait to try out that one. chaos theory...is a big blob of bleh. the mechanics are cool but the multiplayer is incredibly unbalanced and all the moves seem very pre-determined and automatic. it wasn't what i expected given people claimed it to be a great game.

It's the singleplayer that made it so great. Quite realistic gameplay with some nice plot twists. I loved it.

Double Agent? I uninstalled it after 10th minute.

i only got double agent for the supposed better multiplayer

 

[Mahnsikir]

My total for the christmas sales have been

Torchlight and X3 terran conflict for me.

Got gifted evil genius and zombie driver.

Gifted a friend KF

And from GOG bought Freespace 2

Well I'd say Third Age is as close to a total conversion as you get.

Never played Broken Crescent but for mods that don't need Kingdoms I'd recommend For King or Country: The English Civil War, good fun with early firearms, and a chance to kick that bastard Cromwell's arse.

[Reddog]

Ok officially the list for me;

Hitman: Blood Money (loving it!!!)
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
Silent Hunter III
World in Conflict + Soviet Assault

Not bad for about $25 in total!

Also I was gifted Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Athena!

I was thinking about MTW 2 but decided against it in the end after you guys through your comments cued me up about the broken battle AI, googled more on it and decided not to buy.

 

[Oldih]

-Titan Quest : Gold Edition (TQ + expansion)
-Jade Empire
-KotoR (actually I have this on xbox but too lazy to get that out of the closet)
-Dark Forces 2 - Mysteries of the Sith

I was gifted with Mirror's Edge and Torchlight and I gifted SHWW2 and Dark Forces 2.
