Title: June 19th Weekend Special - Empire: Total War 50% off Post by: Bandit on June 19, 2009, 11:27:38 AM Last time I pick up a full-priced game - ever. I bought Empire: Total War for full price only a couple of months ago it seems (Pre-order even). Now it is already on a 50% off sale. I can't be the only one feeling this way, why would I buy another game at release if it is going to be 50% off in a couple of months? I know you can't bank on it, as I have been waiting for Fallout 3 to go on sale for a while now, but for fuck sakes.
Empire: Total War - $24.99 Empire: Total War - Special Forces Edition $34.99 http://store.steampowered.com/app/10500/ (http://store.steampowered.com/app/10500/) Title: Re: June 19th Weekend Special - Empire: Total War 50% off Post by: Tebonas on June 19, 2009, 11:49:36 AM It seems this seems to be the better place for it, sorry for the redundancy.
Is it patched to enjoyable status now? And are the Special forces worth the 5 Euros more or is that just a rip-off?

Making me buy games and shit. Title: Re: June 19th Weekend Special - Empire: Total War 50% off Post by: Bandit on June 19, 2009, 04:10:33 PM Fucking Steam. Making me buy games and shit. Oh I agree, I love steam....and this is a pretty good deal. Just frustrating when I just bought it for full price not too long ago it seems. Just encourages me to never buy right away. Title: Re: June 19th Weekend Special - Empire: Total War 50% off Post by: Teleku on June 19, 2009, 04:17:46 PM Yeah, I'm not really sure if I'm ever going to buy a physical copy of a PC Game ever again. Steam is just great for these weekend deals.
Though, somebody refresh me, will the game auto patch through steam when a patch is released, or do I need to do it manually? I forgot (I know it does this for valve games, just not sure about the others). Also, are there any good mods out for this yet? Title: Re: June 19th Weekend Special - Empire: Total War 50% off Post by: schild on June 19, 2009, 04:18:59 PM Mostly autopatching. Sometimes you have to restart steam because auth servers get overloaded and the prog needs a kick in the jimmy.

Title: Re: June 19th Weekend Special - Empire: Total War 50% off Post by: schild on June 19, 2009, 11:20:04 PM You'd be paying $10 for extra units. Really, it's a terrible special edition.
Title: Re: June 19th Weekend Special - Empire: Total War 50% off Post by: Azazel on June 19, 2009, 11:52:58 PM Fuck it. I've got too many other versions of this thing for dirt cheap that I've still not gotten around to playing.

You can unlock that shit my modding some stuff, it's actually pretty easy. It's the dumbest Special Edition ever.Title: Re: June 19th Weekend Special - Empire: Total War 50% off Post by: NowhereMan on June 20, 2009, 12:23:12 PM Having just done a Windows reinstall, Steam is fucking awesom for games. Being able to just d/l the Steam client and then get about a dozen games installed without having to go hunting for CDs or bothering switching them in and out is fucking great. I hope Valve never goes out of business, since that's the only downside I see.
