Witcher 2, Recettear and Oblivion Deluxe bought.

Don't think Witcher 2 will be discounted more than that. Need to buy the first one still so hopefully at 6pm it'll be in the daily for 75%.

Witcher 2 won't be, it was in the Today Only deal so it won't go any lower except MAYBE on the last day, but that's a big maybe.

Not sure how many of you are aware of this site but I've only just came across in another forum, it's lists all of the steam sales in one nice easy list,

Software can be sorted by savings or price.

Ah right, my bad . Glad you got it working.

You'd think so, wouldn't you.

Yesterday the Steam servers were almost completely overloaded so I had to wait till this morning to download the game.

15GB in just 1h20min - check.

For the past hour I'd been trying to patch the game - turned out to be the SuperHub and its firewall.

Game patched - check.

Now you'd think that everything should work just fine after initial troubles, click on PLAY button, put the Activation Key in the prompt box and press ACTIVATE... can't authorize the serial key.

Now WTF... :confused:

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP :mad:

You deserve this for having a much quicker connection than me

, 2 1/2 hours to download 10GB

.

That sucks though, I wouldn't expect a quick responce from the Steam help service either!

apparently there are problems with the TDU 2 auth servers, their website was down for a while, also the game price has gone up to £7.49 .. a **** up on steams part maybe? :/

gropingmantis · 1 Jul 2011 at 11:50

TDU2 activation worked flawlessly for me...shame the game is ****.

Tempted to get Star Wars FU II for a tenner, liked the original, this one more of the same anyone know?

ThundyCat · 1 Jul 2011 at 12:13

Just bought Wings of prey for £6.80!

They're really taking the mick on exchange rates again, might have to avail of Gimpy's services.

£ 25 = € 27.69 at current rates, but they're charging € 47 for the Valve complete pack!

Americans are being charged $50 for the Valve pack which is around 32-33 pound. We're getting the better deal for once

You've not got either Half-Life game and you're quibbling over £25?

For those who are buying MoH for that price. You can't complain. Single player is short. MP isn't too bad. Takes abit of time to get use to it.
It's one of those you can get peed of very easily.

I'd urge anyone to get it. I loved the MP, it does actually rely on teamwork a lot more than BC2, i.e. smoke for cover, everybody covering different angles to get to the obj. It's pretty decent and more realistic than BC2. The sound is excellent too, if BF3 is a mixture between this and BC2 then I will be chuffed.

I see a lot of people talking about buying Oblivion. Dont! Morrowind is on sale (albeit more expensive that certain second hand game shops) but you get what you pay for!

Morrowind>Oblivion.

Morrowind will likely be cheaper later on in the sale, I can see it going to around 4.99. Anyway, since when could you only get Oblivion or only get Morrowind

Mjones1 try Anomaly: Warzone Earth I think we can class that as a hidden little gem. It starts off a little slow but soon becomes worth it.

They're probably trying to figure out what the problem is and putting out an official statement in the forum for it.

Meh different games. Morrowind has a ton more depth and lore but Oblivion plays better.

Come on people! Some of you guys are forgetting the rules.

Don't buy anything until the last day unless it's on one of the daily deals.
