Square Enix Complete Pack is on sale this week for $74.99.  As well, Batman:AA is on sale for $7.50 and FFXI Ultimate Collection is on sale for $4.99.  Batman:AA is a daily sale, with a new game being on sale each day this week.  I don't if is a new Square Enix title each day or some random game.

For some stupid reason The Last Remnant isn't part of the complete pack. One thing about Steam lately, esspecially with these deals, that is starting to piss me off is releasing these "complete" packs. That aren't fucking complete.

Uhh, it's in the pack I'm looking at.

Makes it even worse. So you get it but I don't because I'm in the EU?  :why_so_serious:
You made me double check, it's not showing up in the pack I can see here in Finland. It's basically the only game I want as well. If it ends up 5€ish or so. And yes I know the game isn't that good. I just never finished it and would like to. And it was purty.

Indeed, its an EU problem. Fuck Region dependent marketing.

On the other hand, you don't have to put up with living in the US. Surely that's worth it?

99% of the time it is, but not when I'm denied the game I want RIGHT NOW for a few days.

Just Cause 2 is $7.50 today.

Thanks for pointing this out. I was just thinking I would pick this up if it was around $5, but I forgot to check yesterday. Luckily it's still up. :awesome_for_real:

I got Just Cause 1. Figure between that, Fallout 3, The Witcher...by the time I finish those I should be able to get a new computer that will run Just Cause 2.  :awesome_for_real:

Any thoughts on Front Mission: Evolved? Looks like you can get the whole shebag with DLC for about $15 or so. Anybody played the PC version?

Everything I've read about it says it's a really poor man's Armored Core, and not srpg like it's predecessors.  It's reviews are pretty much through the floor and they've nickle and dimed it with DLC,  so I'd say just avoid it.  Keep in mind this advice is from someone who pretty much willing to try anything if it's cheap, and who generally likes mech games.

I'd recommend just digging up one of the console versions of armored core (4 or For Answer)  instead, but it looks like it's getting harder to find, and the prices are starting to shoot up from the sub-$20 mark it was at for the longest time.

That's a really good deal on a per-game basis, even though I do already own a fair few. I'm just not sure I want any of the other games enough.

Now if it had a few more Final Fantasy titles, even any other than 11, I'd probably go for it. I could happily go back and play through FF7 for nostalgia's sake I think, and I missed a couple of the newer ones.

I think the only FF titles with PC releases were 7 and the 2 MMORPGs (11,14).   It would be nice if they offered 7, I don't think I was able to get that working last time I tried and have probably lost the discs by now. 

FF 8 came out on PC too

That game never existed.  NOPE.  They just took that number off and went on a long vacation.

You're absolutely correct, my bad. This is frustrating as it makes it unlikely that I will ever get to play 9 unless I can find an un-knackered disc somewhere.

You could always download an ISO file?

I happened to have unknackered discs of FF9 that I will never use again. I also happen to live in Finland and I have no idea what th cost on shipping would be.

I bought it, and based on 30 minutes of gameplay it's Shogo but not as good. It even has the corridor like cities of 1999. Mecha eyecandy is pretty good, as are the cgi cutscenes, but the plot is already sheer torture. 

The Hitman Collection is the new sale item - $7.47. Good game(s)? They're around $2.50 apiece.

Just a short addendum regarding FME: the game's controls are a special brand of fucked up. Basically, you want to use a gamepad for the mech parts, while the on foot parts are only playable with kb&m.

Would it fucking kill them to put Last Remnant on sale... ever?

They're trying to warn you.

I'd take the warning.

Picked up the Hitman Trilogy for $7.50.

The first one isn't all that great these days from what I remember, but hey, it was only $2.50 more than just getting the other two.

I saw them put it on sale one time about two years ago for 10€. I didn't bite because I was broke and thought "surely this will be a common occurrence that may even go further down in price" WRONG.

Goes to show some games aren't always on Steam sale. At least the normal price for the game has been slowly dropping. Was 50, then 40, now 30€

They even throw the fucker on sale again for 10€ or less and I'm buying it at this point.

The only Hitman worth getting these days is Blood Money. Hitman 2 has some worthwhile parts but contains way too many crappy levels in the middle of the countryside.

I'm trying to ignore the Last Remnant hate. :oh_i_see:  I am considering getting the PC version since it's got a few benefits over the console version, and I very nearly finished it on 360.

Kane & Lynch today. For five dollars. Both of them in fact.

I'm not sure I can afford that much for those games, though.

Sums it up nicely.

Game is ok. That review is worse.

Episode 2 seems to be on sale two. For £1.75 it's a steal.
