just bought Bioshock2 for 14usd wooohooo

didnt wanna buy prince of persia but the price was too good pass up 33usd.

People not taking advantage of these sales dont have a clue what they are missing.

killyourfm5044d ago

I love me some capitalism.

TheDeadMetalhead5044d ago

Great, and I don't have any money to get anything. :@

StixRemix5044d ago

Dang, those are some killer deals. I'm so glad Steam is on mac now.

shadowdancer5044d ago

I think only a fraction of them are.

shadowdancer5044d ago

that's about as awesome as the BioShock2 price. glad i waited!

Ha the steam page has crashed with all the activity. Not much there that interests me, I think I am going to stop buying games just because they are a "deal" and stick to buying games that actually interest me.

Edit - I don't usually do this but I have to love the moron that disagreed with me. I wonder which part of my statement did they disagree with ? Was it the bit where I said that "none of these games interest ME" or was it the fact I said "I am going to be a bit more careful with MY money and only buy games that interest ME" ?

killyourfm5044d ago

I hear ya, but their damn specials always appeal to the digital packrat inside of me. The cash practically leaps out.

mcgrawgamer5044d ago

@ charmers I don't disagree with your statement but to add to it. Like you I too am a little more cautious with my money. But I love these types of steam deals. For me it's just like buying a used game for the 360 or ps3 only this way the initial investment isn't bad 4 bucks compared to 20 bucks at gamestop and if you miss the 7 day turnaround at gamestop the same game will trade in for what 3 bucks?

From personal experience zeno clash, the stalker series, chains, torchlight, defense grid, overlord, fuel, and world of goo are a few examples of games I most likely would have overlooked this generation had it not been for the great deals that steam provided. Thank God I've yet to make a bad purchase on steam but if I do and it'll happen eventually the investment of 15 bucks or less will be a much easier pill to swallow than 20+ for a used game at gamestop

Yuji Naka guilty of insider trading breaks silence to accuse Square Enix producer of lies

Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.

I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence

solideagle5d ago

can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?

Chocoburger5d ago

Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.

carrotcakeag4d ago

@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.

Please o please don't turn dragon quest into final fantasy square enix we dont wont that. Dragon quest works well just as it I. Plus you'll piss off Japanese fans to.

jznrpg8d ago

Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
