What time are they releasing the waves? It's Tuesday but I still see Monday.

[Segoris]

I believe they change at 10am (pst), 1pm (est), so 2 more hours from now until the new one if I remember when they update right.

[Segoris]

Day 2 updated.

[Rasix]

Yawn.

[Paelos]

If they are planning to do all shooters, this is going to be a very lackluster promotion for someone like me. If they discount Mass Effect 2, however...

[Rasix]

I'm sure we'll get "RPG day" with some rather disappointing sales on DA and ME stuff.

[Sky]

I'm tepidly interested in BC2, but 33% isn't what I'd call compelling.

[Segoris]

I think the first two days of the sale have been pretty bad, but I also am someone who thinks that there will be RPGs later. I am probably wrong but I don't think they'll put DA and ME on at the same time though. I'm thinking DA and DA:Origins one one day and ME 1 & 2 with any DLC on another day (probably Fri/Sat).

I'm tepidly interested in BC2, but 33% isn't what I'd call compelling.

Agreed, I'm waiting on the Holiday Sale since it will probably be 50% off then. I don't think it will get any lower this year though.

[Stormwaltz]

My money's on "Space Day" with ME1, ME2, and Dead Space and "Fantasy Day" with Dragon Age and WAR.

[Nightblade]

I would wait until they patch BC2 before taking the plunge. Incidentally, the latest patch is over a month late at this point... It's ok though; it's only supposed to fix things like negative mouse acceleration, broken mouse sensitivity bar, broken hit boxes, the spawn system... I'll stop. 

[Paelos]

I'm putting my bet on something from Command and Conquer today.

[Segoris]

I'm putting my bet on something from Command and Conquer today.

A winner is you sir! I thought they'd add Battleforge and call it RTS day, but it is C&C day. Updating main post in a minute, they couldn't be nice and just do a blanket discount on all C&C 

[kildorn]

So today is "please someone buy C&C 4? PLEASE?" day?

[taleril]

Saw this earlier in the week.  Seems accurate so far.

[Shrike]

ME day on Saturday. Hmmm. Steam seems hellbent on taking more of my money. Sucks to be me. 

[Sky]

ME2 miiiight be able to pull more than $20 out of this cheap bastard's wallet. Hopefully the DA Awakenings is cheap.

[Morfiend]

I hope thats correct. I have been waiting to pick up Dead Space. Although kind of bummed I missed BF2:BC2.

[Segoris]

Saw this earlier in the week.  Seems accurate so far.

That's about what I figured. Except I thought Battleforge would be with C&C, I figured they'd put sports games and racing together, and I wasn't sure where Spore would go.

I also am hoping DA: Awakenings is cheap enough to be worth it. If it's more then $20 then it's too much imo (I'm not holding my breath it will go at 50% off though).

[Sky]

sports games

Steam is a pc platform. 

Sorry, still bitter about EA buying out the NFL rights (original contract runs out this year, right?) and then shit-canning the pc version of Madden...which was always using the previous year's console engine anyway. Fucking EA.

I never said they were good, which is why I figured they'd make sports day a more bundled event.

I also miss the days before Madden owned the rights to the entire NFL, unfortunately that contract was extended until early 2013 (after the Superbowl in Feb '13), not the end of this year sadly.

[Sky]

Joy. Back to my creaky old Madden 08 with rosters you can barely recognize and based on the PS2/Xbox version. Digging out the xbox and NFL 2k5 is like playing a historical sim these days...even if the engine is better than Madden 08 on the pc 

[Hoax]

So did everyone who got Mirror's Edge for $5 during xmas like it on PC? I will pick it up this time around. I'd take DA w/ all bells and whistles off their hands for $20 but considering the pricing so far looks like I can continue to pass on it.

[Mosesandstick]

I bought it, still can't get it to work with my (then new) system working 64 bit Windows 7.

[caladein]

It worked just fine on my Windows 7 x64 box.  I think it's a good game and slightly less ruined by its combat than the console version.

[Teleku]

It was worth it for the tiny price I paid during the Christmas sale.  Unique game, cool concept, neat artistic style, I haven't bothered to finish it.  Just doesn't quite come together in a way I can put my finger on.  It's a good distraction for awhile.

[Kageru]

The steam Command & Conquer forum is fairly amusing. Just a number of threads saying "do not buy C&C 4!" and very little dis-agreement.

[Thrawn]

So did everyone who got Mirror's Edge for $5 during xmas like it on PC?

Very much, I wouldn't of been disappointed if I had spent $20 on it.

[Segoris]

Saw this earlier in the week.  Seems accurate so far.

This continues to be correct, graphic and all.

[Sky]

Was NFS: Undercover any good?

Burnout Paradise is a fun arcadey racer. I paid about that over xmas and got at least that much out of it.

[Sky]

In preparation for saturday...are non-steam ME saves importable into steam ME2?

[caladein]

Yes, ME1/2 saves are in the same place no matter where it's from.

[Lantyssa]

You can import other people's saves if you want, too, so you don't have to reply all possible combinations you might want to see.

[Segoris]

Friday's updated. :yawn:

[Rasix]

EA is all kinds of terrible.
