I'm getting Grimrock.
Don't forget to vote on the community whatever thing, and remember, vote for Arkham City!
-
Then there are the Flash Sales. Those are some pretty good deals too
-
GTA complete is $15
-
Saints Row 3 won that vote thing, it's $13 right now.
-
I am going to be monitoring this thread closely- I just got paid. : )
-
Of course it happens right before I go on vacation.
-
There are also flash sales to watch out for! I just got the Back to the Future telltale series for six dollars when it's normally 25. They only last a few hours each.
-
Also Holk if you have a smartphone get the Steam app, you can monitor the store and buy things from afar. :>
-
someone going to give me portal 2 it just now only 4.99 WOOT!!!

Didn't you already claim to have bought a $90 program by yourself for your Future Helper shenanigans? Why do you need someone else to buy a $5 game that you seem obsessed about for you?
-

Same for me.
Which is why i'm doing this:

I have the smartphone app already. Its more about the money that I'm inevitably going to sink into this.

nvm~

He said somebody bought that for him too.

well my last use of my puzzle making skills is from a previous online game that got shutdown... and a lot of people comment that it will take days for them to solve my puzzles (totally advance puzzles) well if i make portal 2 puzzles everyone even valve will take them few days on solving my puzzles.
and i didn't buy the program someone buy it for me.
-
Good difficulty and bad difficulty, bro.
I think the first thing that interests me so far is the Tribes Ascend pack, which is pretty good because I don't want to spend much money. Love the game, though it was a drag to play because it progressed so slowly and I felt locked to one role. Haven't bought it yet but I think I'll pick it up when the new deals hit in the morning.

Seems worth it. I picked it up for $10 when T:A first showed up on Steam a couple weeks ago. It's a better deal than what you used to get in the game for $10 (800 gold and VIP status/exp bonus).
-
I bought Overlord 2 last night Was crying when I realized Space Marine was on sale for the same price and I had already spent my money. lol
I'm hoping this sale goes on for a few more weeks...Just started a new job that pays pretty nicely so it would be nice to actually have some money for this sale that I can blow.
-
It goes to the 22nd.
-
>.> Well...there's always the next big sale...*sniff*
-
Erg, I copied over my Tribes Ascend files. It had to re-download half of it, which was fine, but now it's stuck at 100% downloading and won't let me launch it. :(
-
Check file cache integrity. That fixes 99% of problems with launching steam games.
-
Thanks for keeping this updated, I've been gone all weekend.
-
I don't suppose any of you would happen to know how to force Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light into a windowed mode, would you? Having it stretch across a widescreen does not play nice with a non-gaming computer's settings.
-
No idea, but I've seen a lot of people in other places complaining about something, and I thought I'd just throw this out there in case anyone didn't figure it out for themselves:
NEVER buy anything at a normal discount during a steam sale until the last day, because it might be one of the daily deals later in the sale. Some people are freaking out because they bought Skyrim for 33% off, and today its 50% off. That's just how these things work. Wait for a better deal, and if there isn't one by the 23rd, then buy it.
-

Yeah I did. It was downloading off-and-on at less than 10bps/s and never finished. I deleted it and now I'm re-downloading it all from steam. Hopefully it won't get stuck again.

This, a thousand times this.
-
Oh guys please vote for Just Cause 2.
And are the Tropico 4 DLCs worth it? I just played the demo and it was pretty fun.
-
For real the steam app is awesome. I was away for the weekend, but didn't miss anything.
Also, skyrim better go down to 75% I'm not falling for that 50% bullshit
-
And yeah, daily deals are lame. I got all my buys so far from flash sales and community picks. 75% off, or no buy.
-
Daily deals aren't lame. The lame ones are the constant, all-sale discounts. The daily deals are usually larger/newer titles at 50 - 75 percent off. The flash sales are usually indie/older titles at much bigger discounts.
And Skyrim won't go down lower than 50% off. Its already had its daily deal.
-
Yeah, daily deal is as low as it's going to get.
However, if you can help it, avoid even buying things on the Daily Deal. I've traded for two Anno 2070 Collections (the game + all currently available DLC) for $22 and $17 by just trading on the Steam Trading forums. I also traded for a Torchlight 2 pre-order for $15.
As long as you're trading for giftables and you can check their inventory, it's pretty safe.
-
I don't trust any trading or gifting stuff. I have way too many games to even risk my steam account.
-
I don't suppose any of you would happen to know how to force Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light into a windowed mode, would you? Having it stretch across a widescreen does not play nice with a non-gaming computer's settings.
You'll have to try dxwnd.
-
No Just Cause 2 :( I'll hold off to see if it goes flash or daily. Also passed on Tropico 4. No deals have really caught me aside from PoP and New Vegas, but I'm very pleased with the Tribes Ascend starter pack.
Definitely getting Warrior Within and Two Thrones, and probably Dead Money and Honest Hearts. If I buy all four I'll have spent $15 and I don't intend to spend more than $25 (honestly this should be easy because I already own most of the games I'm most interested in and I realize between GW2 and TL2 this semester's free time will be mostly eaten up).
I'd like Anno 2070, so I'll see if I can trade for it cheaper than the daily. Moo how'd you trade? X-dollars of games or did you actually wire the guy the money?
-
I got the alan wake series. :O It looked neat.
-
Could someone be so kind and possibly gift me Just Cause 2? I maxed out my card buying games and groceries ._. I'll hit you up later and repay you, just remind me.
-
Nope.
-
wow rude.
But seriously, thanks man. Hit me up next week sometime on Thursday and I'll buy you a game or something.
-
These flash sales are fucking stupid. Rather, the people voting on them are. People are voting for the game that they like the most, rather than the one that gets them the rarest/best discount. Tiny & Big, Quantum Conundrum, and Grimrock were all up against each other. Grimrock was just on sale 10 hours previously. Grimrock won. That's fucking stupid.
If Sanctum wins over Krater, I'm going to be pissed.
-
I'm hoping The Darkness 2 goes back on sale. I didn't really pay attention to it, and it actually looks pretty neat.
-
People voting for the games they want most are stupid? That doesn't make any sense. Nobody's going to vote for a game they're uninterested in because it has a 90% discount or if it's never gone on sale prior. I've passed on games I later wanted, for whatever reason, and I think it's pretty sweet that they're redoing bigger sales through flash and votes. We're all being as selfish and there's nothing wrong with that.
I don't think Krater will lose, though, I'll be pissed if it does. Sanctum's an unlikely winner, and I'm not sure what the consensus on EYE is.
Oh yeah the Darkness II looks great. I wish the first one were released for PC, but I think I may bite if it goes back on sale.
-
It ain't bad. I never finished it, but it ain't the worst of its kind.
-
Jack, you're missing the point. Sanctum is on sale every week. Voting for it is counter productive to saving money. Voting for something new, that might not be on sale again for a long time is the way to go. Grimrocks sale just ended, and it went on sale again. That's stupid. Voting for what you want isn't.
And Darkness 2 is pretty cool. The first one was better, but the second one is OK, too. Notworth full price though.
-
Yeah I wasn't going to spend full price, but if it got a bigger cut again I'd have to go for it.
-
I rest my case.
-
What the fuck. Sanctum has been on sale for like a buck irrc. But my point was that, and I too rest my case, the discount or frequency of discounts are largely irrelevant.
I'll just shut up.
But if anyone's interested, Binary Domain and Sanctum are good games.
-
Binary Domain is not a good game. Its a shitty Gears clone with a poorly optimized PC port. Mouse acceleration with no way to turn it off. Sanctum is good though, and maybe if everyone buys it, it'll stop winning over other games in this sale.
-
Double post, but does anyone have a preference in the next choice? I have all of them already, so I'll give away my vote.
And buy Company of Heroes. Its amazing.
-
I just gave away my vote to Oblivion but I'm not sure which one of those already had a fairly decent discount. I'm looking forward to the next set of choices.
-
Same. Peeps should just pre-order Torchlight 2 if they want to play Torchlight. (And TL2 is crazy good and umpteen times better, so it's a win-win.)
I'm playing Binary Domain with a 360 controller and performance is fine, but there is an awful lack of customization. I dig the game and I normally don't like cover-based third-person shooters (don't like Gears really). There's something very classic about it, very 1st-party-era Sega. I don't really like the dialogue system but I do like the characters. Shame their reactions and your demeanor can be hard to predict, because it's a neat idea. Seems like the game is love it or hate it, but there's a demo for those interested. Not going to defend it too much, because it is rough around the edges.
-
Goddamnit Firerain. I should have just waited.
-
Told yooooooouuuuu

Told yooooooouuuuu
That's what I get for being generous >:[
-
Has anyone played the Game of Thrones game? It's on sale in the flash sale at 50%.
-
namkcor what do you want, i have cashola
-
namkcor what do you want, i have cashola
Hold onto it, we'll see what goes on sale for <$10 for the next couple of days :o
-
Same. Peeps should just pre-order Torchlight 2 if they want to play Torchlight. (And TL2 is crazy good and umpteen times better, so it's a win-win.)
Not relevant anymore, but yeah. Torchlight 2 is a ton better than the first game. I think the first game is kinda garbage because it's just so repetitive.
Binary Domain is not a good game. Its a shitty Gears clone with a poorly optimized PC port. Mouse acceleration with no way to turn it off. Sanctum is good though, and maybe if everyone buys it, it'll stop winning over other games in this sale.
The mouse acceleration problem was fixed a while ago now. The menus are a bit easier to navigate now too, but still not perfect. The game has a pretty slow start but ends up being pretty good.
