No SSD yet but judging from the performance on my dads PC it won't be long

Mods are one thing but just seeing the game in all it's glorious detail wouldn't hurt either - I bought a new GFX card and still haven't tested it

I has SSD so can't wait to see how it performs compared to the woeful PS3 version I had.

I just started reading the Mods thread, omfg I am so out of my depth !!

Frozenbyte collection includes 3 items: Shadowgrounds, Shadowgrounds Survivor, Trine for £2.79 (80% off)....OR you could just buy Trine for £3.49 :rolleyes:

Are the Dead Island DLC's any good?

Yes, the Ryder White one is really good. Plays differently to the main game as its very firearms biased so is a nice change if you went through the main game mainly on melee like I did.

It got bad reviews at the time but after playing it, the reviewers didnt understand how it was meant to be played.

In regards to direct x, they answered that a while back. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/08/03/why-steam-makes-you-install-directx-repeatedly/

So far;

Anno 2070 collection
Dead Island

Not sure if I want anything else. No doubt something will pop up though

GTAMADDOG · 14 Jul 2012 at 20:36

Still haven't bought anything.

Only really wanted Saints Row The Third cheap, but I missed out on that. Also wanted Max Payne 3 until I remembered how big the download would be. Can't think of anything else I really want unless something extra bargain-tastic appears.

The wallet should be pretty safe this year.

Martini1991 · 14 Jul 2012 at 20:42

After I get my last few games, I'll be pretty much done.
I went all out on indie games mainly

Nevakonaza · 14 Jul 2012 at 20:44

If only games could be this cheap all the time,Shows they can do it....i bet their sales have gone through the roof.

DisrupTor75 · 14 Jul 2012 at 20:51

Considering Tropico 4 & Dead Island. Anyone tried these?

elh_2009 · 14 Jul 2012 at 20:51

Chances are it will be back at some stage, either on the daily deals or in the last day recap. If it isn't, let me know as I purchased a copy which I'll likely never redeem. :rolleyes:

CaptainRAVE · 14 Jul 2012 at 20:57

Just arrived on holiday and looked at the deals - might well pickup Tropico 4.

Well, they can put Skyrim up at £17.37 having made bucket loads over the last 8 months on it and if people are willing to pay £30-40 for it new then why should they charge less? They are doing it to make money afterall.

Is Two Worlds II any good?

Dead Island is top notch, one of the best games I've played.

Told myself I wasn't going to buy any more games but just picked up Toy Soldiers, looked too good to miss.

Fire_fly · 14 Jul 2012 at 21:10

Can one of you answers a quick question. If I buy DLC for a game on steam do I have to have that game installed at the time? I have supreme commander 2 on Steam but I don't have it installed on my computer, if I buy the DLC will it be there when I download the game or do I have to have the game installed at the time I buy it for it to work?

Screw it, buying Dead Island. Heard mixed reports and bugginess but I'll risk it. So far;
Medieval 2: Total War
Mass Effect
Dead Island.

One game each day for the last 3 days. This sale could end badly!

Don't know what your worried about I've bought 15 games in three days! I would love to have your restraint approach! Hahaha

Raumarik · 14 Jul 2012 at 21:12

DLC will come down when you install the game (assuming it's a game you own on steam)

If you own Tropico 3 don't bother upgrading to 4, otherwise it's a steal.

kizz360 · 14 Jul 2012 at 21:14

picked up DiRT 2 for £3.74
