It was good, but forgettable.

A lot of reviews say fallout vegas is very buggy. Has that since been resolved or is it still pretty bad?

As usual with Steam sales, don't buy anything that's not a daily deal until the last day. People often grab something at 50% on the first day and it ends up going on sale for 75% later on.

Also have another field where I track what I've played, started, etc. with an initial system; "x" for finished, "p" for partially played, blank for not played, "d" for "done" (meaning I haven't beat it but I don't want to play anymore), and an "s" in conjuction with any of the above to represent games I've sold.

I only put a completion date if I actually finish the game (meaning if I just stop playing because I don't like it it doesn't have a completion date), and for other games without a true finish (ex. Minecraft) I'll just put in a "completion" date somewhere around the point my play is tapering off and I feel I've gotten my money's worth out of it (ex. I put a completion date on Minecraft of about two months after I started it).

Anyone know of a good Steam price tracker? I wanted to see if the GOTY had ever been cheaper.

I played it through 2 times with no major issues... I just picked up all the DLC today, I was going to wait for the GOTY but decided WTH and grabbed them today.

The price they are offering can't be beat and it is an awesome game.

Got Dead Island for my bro yesterday for $26, then they decide to drop it to $20 today. Assholes.

Rookie move, never buy anything that isn't a daily deal.

**dyne** · 11-25-2011, 04:34 PM

It was part of the daily deal yesterday and today. Front page listing too.

Ug..you know you have a problem when you try to purchase a game during the sale but can't, because you already own it on steam.

Deus Ex HR is $25 on Steam right now. Buy it now or wait for another drop that might come tomorrow? Grrrrrrrr.

It's a daily deal, it will not go lower than this until the XMas sale.
