The sales have been really bad though, particularly over the past few days. It's even worse when they're repeating the same games over and over again.

I don't think so. I got 12 games for around $25.
I might. I have... 27 hours to decide?
15 dollas is s bit steep though. Especially with so many new games to play. I could wait a few months for a better sale..
PM'ed you

Just read that IF Grim Dawn gets featured it'll be 50% off. http://www.grimdawn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14920 (post #5) Would buy.
Imo the last winter sale was the best since a while and this one is worse. It's not for a lack of games I want either, my wishlist is long enough.

Honestly speaking, I'd say the sale have been the best sale since Winter 2011's sale. I think it's much better than the last couple of summer and winter sales, more variety in flash sales, large list of hidden deals, a meta game fun thing, and some smart changes over the last few sales to accommodate for larger game base and user base. It's not -amazing-, but I do think it's better than some are giving it credit for, and not a bad sale at all honestly.
Sales may naturally seem worse when there's less you want to purchase, though, and as you buy more there would be less you want, I'd think.

rewards are random
Valve is simply encouraging others to embrace the light and start buying junk just because it's cheap as chips.

So what's the likelihood of Cave Story coming back as a flash or daily?
Uh..no. The aesthetic is independently interesting, like Dishonored's washed out water color aesthetic. Yes, the main fuction of that titles aesthetic was due to the limited power of last gen consoles. What is your point? That console generations dragged on years after they should have ended, impact the medium they promote? Every game for the last couple of years have tried everything to cover up the lack of power.
In your experience. I never felt any nausea at all. And I enjoyed it for the ~4-6 hours of the campaign.
I never said it wasn't a mess mechanically. Actually all of my comments about the mechanics are not exactly endearing.
Because protagonists have to be good people, or motivated by good intentions, they can't be awful people. Oh wait no, they don't. The most interesting thing about the game is that the main characters are so cynical and the black comedy it wallows in.
A more useful warning would be one about heeding the criticism of people so invested in hating a game, they can't see any of its positive aspects or cant accept that someone could enjoy something about a game they irrationally detest. At no point did I ever say K&L 2 was a good game, I even spent more time delineating the issues with the title, yet somehow I'm praising the game as a whole? The only person who's opinion should be ignored is yours.

Broforce is the gold standard for Early Access games IMO, along with Door Kickers and Prison Architect
Game is insanely fun. I've been playing for almost a year now, I reset my campaign progress every time new levels and characters are added, and it sill hasn't gotten old or boring
It's just hectic bloody over-the-top fun. It may be Early Access, but it feels more like a complete game that gets big content updates rather than a skeleton of a game like some betas. The Bros are awesome, each feels different. The gameplay is tight, always satisfying, and has a surprisingly strategic edge since you can approach from different angles thanks to the destructible environments. Going in guns blazing isn't always the best choice because you die in one shot.
I can't recommend Broforce enough. It's probably my favorite game I've purchased since getting into PC gaming. Other games may have a better narrative (or actually have a narrative), better art design, more content and more gameplay, but Broforce is just so damn fun

Yes. http://store.steampowered.com/app/6510/ is the one without GFWL, the other only has a few more game modes and multiplayer stuff. Also isn't discounted.

Definitely okay to have different opinions, but my memory of last winter sale was a lot of games being more expensive than either the Thanksgiving and Halloween sales, a lot of stupid community voting, and many games repeating three times as flash deals, dailies, and community. As in more than usual. And the meta game was just getting winter badges for winter in-game items, essentially this summer sale deal except without the teams and people getting free games.

listen to the mad man
I agree. To me, during a first run-through the game is quite hard when you're still at the point where random trash mobs take 2+ hits (because the inability to smoothly cut through them is going to lead to more damage) and gets quite easy the second you tip the threshold into them taking one hit. And I think any observation that Assassin or Hokage are a good class vindicates this, because although both have totally separate the design, the way the design of either manifests is being able to turn two-hit enemies into one-hit enemies.
And once you're in NG+2 at least, the game mostly becomes about ignoring the dungeon and finding the bosses and using a tanking class like Barbarian to do so.
Bosses are easy throughout, besides the Neo bosses, which basically demand mastering one extremely specific strategy rather than free-thinking.
not cheap enough!
seriously even if discounts are all over the place, we got better on some games in previous sales too, it wasn't that bad sale, c'mon people, it was good for fighting games and we all could RAGE to our hearts content about community votes, an let's not forget that Demonicon finally got -75%, even if it's hidden deal, for reasons (still not $5, but I couldn't resist anymore)
And lastly we got awesome deal on Long Live the Queen and the Last Remnant and some other games I'm forgetting right now.
Colonies has more content, but most most of it is MP-based and if the game hasn't been patched by the time GFWL is shut down then said content will be rendered useless. The vanilla edition of the game is GFWL-free and is the version to get if you don't care about the MP (which is likely a ghost town at this point, anyway).
The former. No Early Access game thus far has asked existing owners to cough up more for the full version and I wouldn't want to be the developer who dares to set such a precedent.

It's the full game. At some point it'll be finished and the Early Access tag will be removed and your game will be updated to the finished version of the game.
come on dude... really? You thought EA games were demos?

So those Summer Cards. If I wanna sell em, should I do it now or wait a while?
derExperte

Wait for what? Two days left and the price has already fallen, it won't go up again.
Prices are only going to go down, I imagine. The cards are set to expire an hour after the sale ends and so there'll likely be a mad listing rush on the last day as people fight to make some money back.

listen to the mad man
Technically they're not allowed to anyway
I guess technically you could abandon your early access game and release a very similar complete game with a slightly different name as a different app (although, that would probably require Valve to approve your ability to create new apps, which as I understand a lot of devs still don't have)

We don't know if there'll be an encore day. And the sale ends on Monday, see the countdown on the games that aren't daily/flash deals.

Ah alright. Didn't know how long they were available for, might aswell get rid of em now then. Thanks for the replies.

Sliiiiightly tempted on Broforce, but $10 will be more than I've spent on the entire sale so far and I'm not sure I can get to it before it's cheaper.

Bro Force is also great if you like messing around with level editors and building your own levels. Hopefully it's expanded on in the future. Bro Force Trigger video

Pay money to alpha test. Pay more to beta test. Comes with free access to demo. Full release 60 bucks. Monthly subscription thereafter. 3 months later, goes f2p.
