Steam Sale: Plan 7 from the Rebootening

Hey people, Morrowind or Oblivion GOTY?

Damn, just got new Steam money today... any chances the Dawn of War Franchise will get a cut in price again?

It's possible. I don't think it's been a daily deal yet.

Anyway, is the Skyrim DLC worth getting?

Checked a couple pages back... it apparently was a daily deal for 75% off.

Just got Morrowind and Rayman Origins.

Anyways, it's up to you. I just have Oblivion, so I can't really make an informed recommendation. As far as I can tell, both of them are rather buggy, and in the case of Morrowind, the Fan Dumb considered it the worst insult until Oblivion came along. Then again, you can't really please everyone...

Nonetheless, both have modding capabilities. Oblivion though does have the memetic Imperial guards and an expansion well-received by the community^note specifically, Shivering Isles.

Still wondering about whether to get the Saints Row season pass. Anyone with an answer please?

I'm hearing that Morrowind is more immersive and has better narrative, but its combat sucks.

^ Yes the combat really sucks, since the combat is dice roll so it's stand in place and click click click...also those fucking cliff racers....it really has a unique world to explore though...

Also, Borderlands 2 won the vote...

Next three candidates:

• Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams

• Towns

And the next round of flash sales:

• Spirits
• Tomb Raider franchise

Oh hey, it looks like the Elder Scrolls sale is already over. Saved me $6.

and VOTE FOR GIANA SISTERS

Do NOT vote for Miner Wars. It is already 50% off, so I'm not sure what would be so special about voting for it to go 50% off...

New flash sales:

• Dota 2 early access
• F1 2012
• Max Payne series

Man, none of the games I'm voting for are winning.

So since Towns won (although for some apparent reason Miner Wars 2081 got a 30% vote share, even with no difference in primary discount and proposed sale), the next tree candidates:

• Civilization IV
• Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3
• Dark Messiah

And the new flash deals:

• Dark Souls
• Football Manager 2013
• Terraria

Towns won? WTF? As opposed to Giana Sisters?

And I'm disappointed that Terraria is only -66%. It was -75% once a sale, previously.

Anyone else notice that fewer games are going down to -75%?

Dark Souls looks tempting. Is the PC version good, or is it better to get it for the PS 3?

Depends on if you have a controller or not (though it's perfectly possible to play the game with keyboard, don't count on mouse though...it sucks hard)...if I understand correctly DSfix should make the graphics better on PC than the console versions (unlocked internal rendering resolution so it can go up higher than 1024x720, better AA and such, and ability to go up to 60 fps)...

Is the port itself good? Not really, but if I understand correctly it's practically x360 version on PC, but DSfix should help make it even better...other than that the game is perfectly stable though...

New daily deals:

• The Amazing Spiderman (-50%)
• Batman: Arkham Series (-75%)
• Castle Crashers (-66%)
• Deadlight (-50%)
• Hotline Miami (-50%)
• Magic: The Gathering (-50%)

...and they still haven't removed Securom from the Steam versions of the Batman games.

That's driving me absolutely crazy.

Then don't buy them, and publicize the fact that they have Secu Rom DRM.

Hey, who wants Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and Sega Classics?

They were tempting, but I've probably spent all I should for this sale.

No thanks; I decided to change my wishlist from "games I might want" to "games I definitely, actually want".

As I said earlier, I don't own a single Sonic game. If you have extra copies and want to send them my way, I would not mind .

Steam name: Vorkosigan

(Note:I have basically nothing to trade with)

Sent.

I've friended you too; I'm Quint.
