Steam Weekly Deals/Pre-Order Discussion Thread

The Total War series is on sale this week for 66% off.

Darnit, Darnit, Darnit! I have been wanting to play Rome Total War! If you look at this package you can get Rome Total War for $3.39, and Rome TW Alexander for $3.39. BUT if you click the Rome Total War, you can get the "Complete" that includes RTW and RTW:Alexander for $3.39.

I couldn't resist! THIS THREAD IS COSTING ME TONS OF MONEY! Especially I won't have time to play anything for another month or two!

(Oh yeah, it's also saving me money because I was considering buying the Mac version.)
(Sorry Feral)

Sweet! Thanks! I was missing Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms. My patience paid off to get it at a nice discount.

Not so excited about this week's. Now the impatient wait to see what the next deal will be

 

[Cougarcat]

Oh, the irony; the week Rome: Total War comes out for the mac for $29.99, the steam version is less than five bucks. I kinda feel sorry for Feral.

Same here. I don't have the time or money but I still look forward to Monday and Friday mornings to see what deals await.

Well ... it is about the same as charging $50 for Fable and Bioshock when they've been on sale for $5 ...

Nothing for me this week! Wonder if they're going to have a separate midweek sale too?

Maybe Trine fits the bill. Midweek sale has this one at 75% off.

Oh nice! I bought it during the holiday sale for around that price. Well worth it and a reminder that the Lost Vikings gameplay can work in the modern era!

About how long is Trine? Do you control all three characters at the same time or are there "switch spots" like in Yoshi's island?

Not sure about the length, but you control one character at a time but can switch between them at will using the L and R buttons (or whatever button on whatever controls you're using).

Length is about a dozen hours or so if I recall correctly ...

Mount & Blade is 85% off until Monday.

The THQ Complete Pack is 50% off right now.

 

[0098386]

Bloody hell, it's sale after sale now. I hope they keep this up. I find myself checking and buying little things every day so I guess its good for the both of us!

 

[Eidorian]

I picked up Empire Total War for $10.19. The price even dropped since the beginning of that sale.

 

[ltldrummerboy]

Not a Steam sale, but I thought I'd point out that there is a fantastic indie game bundle for sale through the 19th.

Indie game deal is a great deal. I've bought Machinarium for that alone...

The Star Wars: Galaxies MMO is on sale until Friday for 50% off.

 

[0098386]

Shadowgrounds pack is 75% off. (£3.49)

 

[ltldrummerboy]

Holy weekend deals Batman! Shattered Horizon is 50% off until early Monday morning.

 

[0098386]

The crying shame for that (and 52% of Steam users) is that Shattered Horizon requires DirectX10, therefore needing Vista or 7. I've been after that game for a while too.

Nice offer, until I see that only 4 out of the 6 games run on OS X, and I've already bought Machinarium for that price. Ought to buy them, just to support the indies, though.

 

[Eidorian]

Holy weekend deals Batman! Shattered Horizon is 50% off until early Monday morning.

In addition to the deal there's a free play weekend. This smells of what happened with Unreal Tournament Black last year. Hopefully we can play a game of Shattered Horizon.

24% of steam users are already running Windows 7. XP is going the way of the dodo. can't be soon enough
