Hitman: Absolution (PC Digital Download) $17

I'm getting $49.99 on Amazon and $40.19 on Steam. Am I missing something or is the deal dead?

Definitely a slickdeal for a game that's been out for less than 3 months.

Thanks.

looks dead to me

Quote from Wicasawakan : If you still have XP, stick to Counterstrike. Don't even look at the newer games. XP? Really? Any PC gamer knows they have to upgade eventually and XP is so old that I can't believe someone would even mention it in a b!+ch post. Sorry but I agree with the other guy. If you can't ready the specs, stick to the old games.

Do you have any idea what you're talking about? All the games I've bought in the past year run on XP fine. Walking Dead and Max Payne 3 to name a few.

My post was by no means a "b1tch post". All I did was point out that I purchased the game and was surprised it didn't support XP. Get lost if you're going to try and rip on people for the OS they use.

Quote from coronakid : With my current backlog of Steam games I just wait for this one to be $10 and under. It shouldn't be that long of a wait.

My reasoning as well! Currently on Alan Wake and Walking Dead (~$7 each).

I am not seeing it for the above prices???? Any ideas?

Yeah this was well worth the $27.50 I paid right before it came out. If you are a fan of the series you will not be disappointed at all. If you know anything about high end graphics gaming then your smart enough to know how to tweak your video settings to run this game with no hitches. $16.99 is a killer deal for this game!

Quote from joogle : how in the world are you still on XP?

XP was one of the most stable OS's that M$ delivered. The 64bit version was a red-headed stepchild.

I'd still choose XP over Win 7 any day (if Linux wasn't a choice). XP from an OS standpoint is pretty reliable. I'd be surprised if many of us do not run an XP virtual machine these days (and no, not running some programs in 32bit mode or something like that).

Quote from diabel : Touche.... however it does not affect the storyline or gameplay and it actually looks very good. IMHO convenience of playing with the controller on the TV with surround sound trumps playing at the desk with superior graphics. My only regret is not having iracing on the PS3. I loved that game while I still had a desktop. Maybe one day I'll put one together for that specific purpose but it will be in my living room.

It takes about 30 seconds to ouput any modern PC with HDMI to an HDTV/Surround system and about 10 more seconds to hook up my USB wireless adapter to my PC to use my 360 controller, that is IF i choose the inferior control scheme. I only use controller for some action games like Batman Arkham City. FPS has to be Keyboard/Mouse and I have my little Logitech wireless keyboard and couch mouse that cost all of $20 each and work better than a controller for any shooter or RPG.

Awesome game!

Walking dead? It's a graphic cartoon in a game form so it takes limited specs. Max Payne 3? No need to start on that games low specs required. You are posting on a game that right off the bat had high requirements. Walking Dead and Payne didn't. The people saying you need a better OS are right or stick to games that can be played on an iPhone.

YOU said it yourself..WAS one of the most stable. Even if you got 7, you could at least play todays high-end games.
