**OFFICIAL** Steam Xmas sale is LIVE thread (and in progress)

[fatpat268]

ME2 DLC is purchased on the Bioware site. It's a massive pain in the ass though, so be warned.

Kasumi - $7 - Not really worth it
Overlord - $7 - Worth it
Shadow Broker - $10 - Worth it

Although, it's hard to say any of those DLCs are worth it, when you get 30 hours of content for $10 in the base game, but only get 2-4 hours in content in one DLC.

ME2 DLC page

Kasumi, Overlord: $7
Depends on taste. Kasumi has comments on every mission, but you can't talk to her at home base -- she'll talk to you though. I like her mission and it gives the best SMG and a cool civilian outfit, but you may be disappointed. Overlord is pretty good, but IMO less fun on a second playthrough. It also uses the (free) Hammerhead DLC vehicle, which you may or may not like.

Lair of the Shadow Broker: $10
Didn't I just say it was the best mission in the game?
It's actually two missions back to back, plus a lot of amusing reading material afterwards. Definitely worth it. Skip the others and just buy this one if you want.

Sounds like a hassle and over doubles the cost of the game and I guess I should just try ME before buying ME2 DLC.

ME2 is still $20 bucks here, stupid regional pricing. Tempted to pick up Silent Hunter 5 though even though it has shitty DRM....I loved SH3.

 

[Nintendesert]

I was looking at Silent Hunter 5, but then saw it had the Ubisoft bullshit DRM. Sorry, but gotta pass on anymore DRM than what's already available through STEAM.


And Wings of Prey gets removed from my shopping cart for the same reason.

 

[sash1]

bought ME1 and 2 <3

gifted 2 to my bro in Korea as well! luckily he's not awake yet so he'll have a nice present sitting in his steam acct when he wakes up!

Same reason why I ended up not buying it. Not paying for that BS.

 

[heat901]

Should i just get SH3 or should i get the pack which has SH3, SHWotP with uboat missions?

 

[Nintendesert]

I didn't like SHWotP as much as SH3 so I just picked up SH3.

 

[damocles]

Bah, ME2 is on 'special' here in China for USD 24.99.

I'd buy Wings of Prey if it wasn't for the DRM ;/

 

[heat901]

I didn't like SHWotP as much as SH3 so I just picked up SH3.

But you still enjoyed it or was it like meh?

 

[KeithTalent]

So there is ME2 and ME2 Digital Deluze Edition for double the price; worth the extra $10?

cheaper at gamersgate

 

[Zenoth]

Is Darksiders worth $9.99?

I know opinions will be different but I've been interested by the game for a while, although I'm not quite sure since it's a console port. Can the controls be customized? How much can the graphics and sounds be adjusted? Does it support only wide-screen resolutions?

 

[KeithTalent]

fyi

I don't know that place and I kind of like having everything in Steam. Thanks for the heads up though.

Looks like maybe there is nothing useful in the Digital Deluxe Edition. :hmm:

No, spend the $10 on Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC

If you don't find what you want on Steam, I saw on Slickdeals that Amazon is having a lot of downloadable PC games on sale:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.htm...47281&amp;plpage=1

They have similar prices compared to Steam right now.

 

[Nintendesert]

But you still enjoyed it or was it like meh?

It wasn't bad, it just felt different. There were a few little things that were different that I didn't enjoy. It's a good game but for me I just prefer SHIII. IF it wasn't for Ubisoft's shitty DRM I would have gotten 5, so it may very well simply be a case of me liking the North Atlantic much more than the Pacific.

 

[KeithTalent]

No, spend the $10 on Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC

Roger that, thanks!

[Aikouka]

Even on just downloads?

 

[KeithTalent]

Ahh, sorry, missed that; didn't even realize they had those. Not sure I'm even allowed to download them.

[Sacraster]

nothing for me today again. (my wallet is very happy )

 

[lothar]

Like I said with Bioshock 2, I will wait for Mass Effect 2 to be $5.

I paid $5 both for Mass Effect and Bioshock each on STEAM last Christmas, and I absolutely refuse to pay more than $5 for their sequels.
Nothing worth buying for me today.
