Should probably just wait for the Summer Sale, no?

Can it get better than 75% off?

(real question, it's my first Summer Sale)

 

[PixyJunket]

Can it get better than 75% off?

It's not likely, just get it now.

Most games that get something larger than 75% are much older titles.

The only way I see it improving is if Amazon just bundles a bunch of Microsoft published titles again. Honestly, just buy MotN. It's worth the full $15. How much can you really save by waiting?

Thanks for the answers.

It doesn't really matter now because I got it like 2 hours ago haha but I was curious.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Even if it gets a slightly better deal, you'll be saving a few cents at most. That's not worth the extra wait to play this amazing game.

Man the card market is gunning for the bottom today. I think it may be time to start assembling badges.

 

[Deadbeat]

Once booster packs hit cards wont be worth shit.

[zombieshavebrains]

Good dude, worked out well. Thanks for putting it together.

Likewise, good, fast, no bullshit trader.

 

[Like the hat?]

When can we expect the summer sale? Mid July-ish? Hoping for cheap Skyrim now that I finally have a gaming PC.

Booster packs?

Wow they really have. I might end up trying to get the badges this time instead of turning them to the market.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Ok this is interesting.

Both Bioshock 2 and Batman Arkham Asylum have had Steam Achievements added recently.

We've theorized that something is happening with GFWL based on both games having achievements added, but not activated, and Halo 2 having an 'alternative option' date set for June.

Well looking at the registry entry for Bioshock 2 and Batman Arkham City have shown some interesting parallels.

Batman Arkham City



Bioshock 2



So both games, done by different studios and publishers have updated their test builds within the last few hours. Both are pushing QA and their own internal test builds through daily.

Something big is happening very soon.

Interesting to note that the Bioshock 2 updates have been farmed out to Digital Extremes, the same guys behind Warframe. I'm going to shoot them an email and see if they have any information.

grief that halo 2 link doesn't work. what did it say? did they update something recently for it? Also do you have the link for the page of halo 2 registry?

 

[jaundicejuice]

Man, this port of Tomb Raider 2013 is absolutely terrible.

 

[Mavromatis]

5th page already? I must be getting slower.

 

[TouchMyBox]

Man, this port of Tomb Raider 2013 is absolutely terrible.

I guess that means that the bar for PC ports has been raised so high that anything less than incredible is considered to be absolutely terrible?

Wow nice one! The only ones I don't have yet that interest me are Bioshock 2, the darkness 2 and Civ5 though so I'll wait for the summer sale.

 

[Deadbeat]

Booster packs?

They are working on an idea that little packs will drop if you participate in the community or something and you get a few random cards. Seriously, its a whole new world out there.

 

[BoosterDuck]

OH NO STEAMS IS DOWN

Quick, To Origin!

Wait....

People actually play games on Steam in here?

 

[Joe Molotov]

LOL STEAM DRM

 

[xelios]

Well this is bullshit. Must be a sign, off to GOG's #NoDRM summer sale.

 

[Ludicrous Speed]

Okay, good. It's not just me. Steam is down. I was trying to play Awesomnauts and it kept telling me to connect to Steam in-game. Finally saw that it says No Connection at the bottom of the Steam client. Oh well. Guess I'll do something more productive than play a video game.

 

[Iadien]

Damn you Valve, you interrupted my idling for cards.

 

[Lumine]

Nooooooo...!!!!

 

[Mr Nash]

I'm mostly annoyed Steam is down because I picked up Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara this morning, and the thing is stuck at Microsoft VC Redist Package when doing the final set up before loading the game for the first time. I want to find out how to fix the problem, but can't even get on the message boards there to ask around. >_<

So... I was playing (keyword) Serious Sam 3 for cards for like 45 minutes, was wondering why I didn't receive a card, and saw that Steam was offline. Feeling pretty down.

You're giving me summer sale banner hype. Also let's be Steam friends once it comes back online so I can see your Runner 2 scores on my leaderboards. The dude that was showing up on them previously must have stopped playing at World 3.

 

[JaseC]

So I guess I'm not going to be getting any cards while Steam is being resuscitated.

Convince me please.

Ha, I was playing Super Meat Boy earlier, I thought it was weird I didn't get a single card. Welp.

 

[kafiend]

No, they just idle for cards.

We idle for cards to sell to buy games we have no interest in with cards so we can idle in them.

1) He racks up the scoreboard while everyone else is sleeping.

2) Australia has creatures that evolved with the express purpose of killing humans, so he stays in-doors.

It is my theory that JaseC is actually a she, specifically Saoirse herself, and all the avatar changes are merely the well-planned and plotted out guerrilla marketing campaign that took on a life of its own. Those BAFTA Award nominations don't just happen on their own...
