OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Traditional sports games are really the only genre where PC doesn't have a significant advantage over consoles.

The great thing about PC is how you can pick up a lot of games now on the cheap, then play them later whenever your machine gets upgraded.

Yeah my STEAM games can testify to that. Think it's become more fun getting the deals than actually playing the games.. lol

Add sports back onto the PC and I would not need a console. I mean there is literally no weakness on the PC except sports.

Same here

There was a post on Reddit the other day comparing Steam Sales to Pokemon. Most people just buy the games to add to their collection and never end up playing all of them.

Hell, I did that with Bastion last night. Played through it twice on 360, but it was $2.50 so I figured I'd buy it just in case I ever wanted to go back to it.

Free SpaceChem Steam key.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

So, I got to the point where I was putting the key into Steam when I realized I had no idea what SpaceChem was all about and didn't even have the thought before I got a key to even find out.

Lol, I was the same but in the end it's a free game, who cares.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

It's not bad, I feel like the interface could be better, but I can see where it's going to get to where it's a fairly tough and complex puzzle game.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

FarCry 3 at $7, yeaaaaa I'm grabbing that!!! Played it on console but time for a PC revisiting!

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Don't forget the Far Cry Collection, which has every game in the series, even Blood Dragon, for $14.79.

That is probably the better value, if you don't already own the other Far Cry games.

Agreed! Look at what 2k has done with the NBA series. Here's a half-*** port with mod capability. Every year I get the new NBA 2k on PC and every year the net version becomes my second favorite basketball game ever (forever behind CH2k8). Oh, and the fact they sell it for less than half of the console price, its a win-win.

Just look at MVP baseball...all EA needs to do is port everything over and allow mods (like the FIFA-series on PC).

Assetto Corso 50% off, yes please. I'm in desperate need of a sim racer. Fits the bill perfectly.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

STEAM is going to be the reason I get a new rig next tax time.
Simply can't let my PC gaming die out with all the deals.

Seriously makes me think long and hard these days about popping 60.00 on console games.

Yeah, these Steam sales and just PC gaming in general always has me rethinking buying console games at full price. Now granted I am part of the BBY Gamer's Unlocked Club which I paid $30 for 2 years. It gives me all new releases at $47, but you can't beat these PC sales if you wait a bit.

So far with the Summer sale I've picked up the following, I've been pretty good. LOL!

The Walking Dead Season 2
The Wolf Among Us

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

So far I've picked up mostly stuff that I have on the 360, but realize will disappear when I get rid of it at some point. Not everything I've bought this sale though:

DuckTales Remastered
Skyrim Legendary
Can't Stop Laughing Bundle (Castle Crashers/Battleblock Theater)
Just Cause 2
Awesomenauts
Bastion
FarCry 3: Blood Dragon
L.A. Noire
Star Wars: KOTOR II

Thinking about picking up Transistor and I want Super Meat Boy, but I missed that chance earlier.
