Bargain Gaming thread

I'm so rubbish after telling myself wouldn't spend no more cash on steam sale in the last few minutes of the sale got civ gold upgrade, star wars knights of the old republic 1 & 2 and shogun 2 total war for 11 quid **** you Valve!!!! looks like i'm gunna have a fight on my hand to get anything done at all for a while!!!!
 
my last purchase. X3 Terran Conflict. Though it was a real, real hard choice between that and Civ 4 complete for about 50p less.

X3 worth buying? Always wanted to play em but never got round to it
 
Not sure yet-kind of mixed reviews, but the graphics look stunning. I'm playing Warcraft right now but playing X3 afterwards so let you know. Apparently it does have a steep learning curve though

I'd say it's worth buying based on what I've experienced so far (which is mainly crashing into stuff and dying. A lot). The graphics are also spectacular. If you're rig is high end crank the graphics up. But it's also going to require patience while getting used to it. Plenty of help vids on Youtube, and there is an intro sequence aswell. I've gone for the merchant level myself as it's easiest. I suspect I'm going to lose a lot of my time to this lol. But you will need to put in time and effort by the looks of it-I've barely scratched the surface.

Ok cheers pal I'll give it a look once I smash through shogun 2 total war if I ever get the ****** to work
 
should check out the humble bundle deal I just stuck $10 £6.78 I think the conversion was, but you pay what you want providing its a minimum of a dollar I think and get saints row the third, risen 2, sacred 2, saints row 2 and if you pay over the average payment ($4.91 at time of writing) you get saint row the third game plus dlc and dead island game of the year edition all are steam game codes. this is also for a good cause and you get to decide how your money is divided up between developer and charity

Yeah, just got this myself. Don't really like Dead Island, & I don't know much about Risen 2 but I'm going to get £6.77 worth of fun out of Saints Row 2 & 3 alone!
 
Incase anybody didnt notice the humble bundle now includes: Metro 2033, Risen, and Sacred Citadel

Another Humble Bundle is out:

The Origin Bundle includes Dead Space 1 and 3, Crysis 2 Maximum Edition, Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box, Medal of Honor, and Mirror's Edge. Beat the average price to also get The Sims 3, two expansion packs in The Sims 3 Starter Pack, and Battlefield 3.

Likely that more games will be added next week to it as usual with humble bundles.

All games come with both Steam and Origin keys except for Battlefield and the Sims.

That is a quality deal. I said I would not be spending money on games anymore but....

All that for $4.57? Didn't think they would beat last weeks but they have!
 
Is anyone else steam and origin running incredibly slowly? Its taking like 5 mins on steam and then saying it cant connect to the server?

Even more suprising is that EA dont get a cent from it. They gave their share to charity. Trying to get rid of all the bad publicity.

Not sure about Steam but origins servers are taking a hammering due to everybody trying to activate games at the same time. Im waiting a day or two before i even try origin at all

Meh, it's a good move by EA. Origin has such a terrible reputation that most people won't even go near it. They will be hoping this bundle increases the amount of people who use Origin. Judging by the hammering the servers have taken, it's worked.
