Steam Sales Thread

I wasn't all that bothered about pre-ordering at first, because I already have a copy of Bioshock. Been interested in trying out XCOM though, so I've pre-ordered it now. Only problem I have right now is that I have about 35MB left on my 1TB data drive, gonna need to get hold of another drive quickly! The last of my remaining space was eaten up by the Assassin's Creed games. Picked up II, Brotherhood, Revelations and III for £30 last night. Oh yea, I also got Rayman Origins the day before.

So much for not buying any more games!

Technically, I already own BioShock: Infinite as it came with my graphics card.

Mine came with it too but I won't use it if pre-order bonuses don't work with a code. Because I rather pre-order directly it and get X:COM as well (assuming it unlocks, which it probably will).

I'm playing one game at a time right now (finished Max Payne 3 over the weekend btw), it's just when you get a bunch of games pop up for peanuts, then I may as well pick them up. Then on top of that you've got all these new games I wanna play, like Bioshock and Tomb Raider.

At least now I can actually play games, so I've got more time to get through all of these.

I got Rayman Origins and Far Cry 3 from the Ubisoft sale. I was thinking about Assassins Creed 3, but the gameplay of the series ran it course for me in AC2. I bought Revelations and got bored with it instantly.

I do have to say that Far Cry 3 is one of the most fun games I've played in a very long time. It runs well and looks amazing on my rig.

Hey Guys, just to let everyone know; All pre-order unlockables are now unlocked for BioShock Infinite so that means a free copy of XCOM and a free copy of Bioshock for all previous, recent, and soon to be Steam pre-orders.

Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad is only $2.99 through this weekend. There's also a free weekend happening for the game as well.

I don't know about you guys, and this is kind of awkward or strange to say nowadays, but I've kind of missed the WWII shooters. I remember the days when we were all sick of them and begged devs to go modern.

I miss them too, it doesn't sound weird at all.

It lends itself to gameplay better too, because not every weapon is an assault rifle/rapid firing thing. Some are fast, slow, very slow at firing.

It's why I play DoD Source, much more fun for me than COD in respect to MP. The variance in weapons lends itself to more depth imo, and more fun to change classes and stuff when they are so different, like changing from a scout to MG.

And since the game's on sale, maybe this Pacific campaign expansion that's going to be coming out soon is even more of an incentive to pick it up.

I feel the same, it is a bit odd.
