Board 8 > Steam Sale Topic #2 (Buy Sam & Max Complete Pack!)

(+) Yeah! (+)

I saw that the other filled up and even though there is only one day left, I think, it still deserves another topic. Make sure to listen to my demands!

it is tempting, as it is a bunch of games technically. never really got into sam and max before either, though they seem alright.

There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out

I'm in a similar boat with lefty but I do have some money. It just isn't enough to buy the Telltale collection

aaaaand i went ahead and got the complete pack of sam and max games >_<

who needs to buy food anyway, besides, i will be playing so much sam and max i will forget all about eating right?

naw...i set my limits of how much i was wanting to spend when the sale started, and so far i have stayed within them if just. it will take a heck of a sale tomorrow to convince me to spend any more.

Oh ****, that's 16 games for less than $13.

Question: If my piece of **** laptop can't run the new episodes of Monkey Island, is there still a chance it can run Sam & Max?

which monkey island? the publisher of sam and max did some monkey island stuff too it seems, somewhat recently.

i would look at places like system requirement lab or compare the system requirements of the monkey island game and sam and max...

Lots of awesome deals but I've only purchased Borderlands GotY and Trine. Maybe that'll change here in a few hours.

I'm kinda interested in terraria but I'm scared I'll play it for 5 minutes then never touch it again

Terraria's pretty cool. It's best if played with other people.

Also, people who don't have Aquaria need to buy it.

KrahenProphet and Kana are on opposite ends of the Awesome Spectrum.

so i loved dead space, so that $15 dead space 2 seems tempting. A few people have advocated the sam & max pack, and someone earlier recommended the prince of persia pack.

So I'm tempted to buy all of them but havent been able to make up my mind on anything.

so morrowind won't go on sale more than the 25% from the franchise discount will it :(

So far I've only gotten the GTA-Classics package and Trine. I've been eyeing Terraria and feel kinda bad for letting the ME-series pass me by for $~13 though.

Also, with Sam and Max, is it a point-n-click kind of series? The two trailers I've watched look neat enough, but they don't seem to show much gameplay aside from a little bit of driving.

Yeah, it is mostly a point-and-click adventure. It is absolutely hilarious though. One of the funniest series in gaming

You beat yourself up with your past. Don't blame yourself, blame the world. Blame God. Blame me.

While I trust you, I still need to play Monkey Island 2 from a previous Steam-sale PLUS the second and third Phoenix Wright-games before I purchase a dozen more point-n-clickers. Hopefully the deal returns sometime after I knock some of those out of the way.

Just buy it now and play it later! I bought the Back to the Future game AND the Sam and Max complete pack. Do you realize how much point and click I have in my future?

--

I'm usually exhausted after each of the few point-n-click games I play! How long are each of the episodes?

I'm also going to not want to buy anything in this final sale coming up if I get this pack, so I'm weighing that gamble as well.

Well the new sales are up at 1 but the old sales don't expire until 2. So if you don't see anything cool then just go get Sam and Max. All together it's probably around 35-40 hours to beat all 16 games.

I assume

I could be wrong at the old sales lasting longer though

To anyone that got Sanctum before: how is it?

I'm a bit sad Defense Grid didn't go back on sale. That and Magicka (for a gift) were what I was hoping for.

--
No amount of planning will ever replace dumb luck.

It's now trying to charge me $33 for the Sam and Max-package, so...nope!

Finally caving in on Terraria for my final Steam-purchase.

Need one more ticket to get up to a multiple of three... how do you post a video?

If you have a youtube account you can connect it to steam and take videos from there

--
You beat yourself up with your past. Don't blame yourself, blame the world. Blame God. Blame me.

can you redeem your tickets for something and gift that reward?

--
"Anybody interested in grabbing a couple of burgers and hittin' the cemetery?" -Royal

I don't think so -- looks like it gets applied to your account instantly.

I guess it prevents people from making new accounts, getting all the easy achievements, and gifting all the rewards.

--

I guess it's finally time to spend those tickets. There's not going to be a big final prize after all :(

--

Well that sucks because I don't really care about the rewards. I guess that I will get the sunglasses and if I decide to do more of those short and easy ticket requirements, I might get that free game that I will likely never play

Got Terraria, and... it's actually pretty confusing, as I don't know what to do. @_@

Oh yeah, and how is Magicka or Sanctum?

Oh yeah, and how is Magicka or Sanctum?

Magicka is a blast multiplayer. It's an arcade game where you wander through levels and stuff, but the best part is the multiplayer since there's no distinction between allies and enemies when you cast spells. Killing your teammates on mistake (sometimes "mistake") is usually hilarious, and since there's no mana costs and Revive is effortless to cast, you don't have to worry about things too much. I'd recommend it only if you're playing with other people. The demo is a good way to get a feel for the game.

I'm downloading the Sanctum demo right now myself... I'd like to hear other people's opinions on it though.

--

Only bought Borderlands and Trine and I guess I won't be buying anything else. Almost bought Oblivion and Fallout3. Probably would have bought Oblivion if they put it up again today.

I've kinda been looking for an excuse to get into Magicka, but I didn't think there'd be many other noobs to play with and have fun killing each other in. This would be a fantastic one.

So...

My haul is

Audiosurf
Terraria
Trine
VVVVVV

Yay to living cheap!

Oh, and the Alien Breed Game and the Defense Grid map packs.

Thinking of getting the shades and the Magicka pack cause I don't know if I'm getting it yet.

Hot damn, I'm glad I bought Audiosurf when I did. Awesome game, and well worth the $1.79 I spent on it.

BlAcK TuRtLe is a black turtle.

Let's see:

Frozen Synapse
Worms Reloaded
Beat Hazard Complete
Plants vs Zombies: Game of the Year
The Polynomial
Majesty 2: Monster Kingdom (too bad it wasn't a daily deal)
Poker Night at the Inventory (ditto)

Hmm, more than I thought it was. Still pretty cheap.
Worms looks absolutely stellar. I've only played a bit, but so far it doesn't seem like they've ruined the core gameplay or anything, and the graphics & sounds are all fantastic.
Frozen Synapse is neat so far, though I'm finding myself to be a bit too laid back in the campaign. Not really analyzing everything, or even that much (although obviously to some degree otherwise I wouldn't get far), and that has made be restart a mission or 2.
Beat Hazard is great, though I'm still afraid I might get an epileptic seizure from it.
The Polynomial is a big wtf? so far. Hopefully playing it more will make it somewhat more intelligible for me. Also, does anyone know if the environment changes based on the music?
Beat the pool level in PvZ and some minigames. Already played it a lot last year when I "borrowed" it.
Haven't started Poker night yet.
Same thing with the Majesty 2 expansion, although I'm tempted since I have high hopes for this one, even when I still have to finish the last mission from the main game (and it's quite difficult, I might add.)

Overall, a pretty good haul!

Congrats to our Guru champ!

What's the deal with all of the Magicka DLC? Are any of them worth it? It seems you can get all of them + Magicka for about $9. Worth it or no?

--
ziggie ziggie wop wop

In the end I got Oblivion, Modern Warfare and The Last Remnant

aughhh wish I could get Just Cause 2 since it's on sale again
