How is Rome 2? I remember hearing about some issues with it at launch.

 

[Mass Effect]

Is Steam down?

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Anyone can help me?

For the past days I keep getting the 'Couldn't connect to Steam Network ' message

"The Steam store is under heavy load"

Steam, please. I'm only refreshing you two times a second.

HIT F5 FASTER GODDAMMIT

 

[Volotaire]

The one has trading cards.

Now you have my attention!

That's 3 too many

 

[AwShucks]

it's 1 map and it can be beaten in under 20 minutes

I aint spending 80 percent of my sale budget on that

On the other hand if you aren't trying to speed run it, you can spend a good amount of time. I took 4-5 hours.

 

[Widdly Scuds]

Anyone else who didn't get a trading card when voting?

Your steam level has to be at least 8 to get the cards by voting. If you're at level 8 and havent gotten your card it's probably because their servers are getting hammered right now but you'll get it eventually- i've had that happen to me before during past sales.

About Love, Hate and the other ones is on sale with a 25% discount but I think everyone got that 80% voucher which should bring it down to a stupid 95% off

I just tried it and it doesn't let you apply it

 

[Sir Blaming]

Disappointed at the lack of great discounts
Well, off to bed then

 

[tearsintherain]

max the curse of brotherhood is 75% off @ 3.74
http://store.steampowered.com/app/255390/

i paid 2500 gems for it on the auction so of course its on sale the day after

 

[Stumpokapow]

Can't get the Love, Hate, and the Other Ones coupon to stack with the discount. Did manage to purchase Walden for $0.19

 

[ramoisdead]

Can't use it. Coupon says it won't combine with a discounted price for the game. Oh well, wallet still safe.

 

[Zeeman]

Defy Gravity Extended is 95% off

 

[Visualante2]

I hit my budget for the year on the first day of the sale I believe. Ground Zeroes you better be worth it. I'd guess I have a few dollars left at most until the 31st.

 

[Annubis]

huh, that's that I guess. They ussually stack.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

wow, Ground Zeroes is really cheap in the Mexico store.

So what happened with the region lock? I live in Mexico but I go to the USA a lot, if I buy games over here will I be able to play them in my USA house?

 

[TronLight]

Oh shit I just remembered after buying it. MGR only runs at like 24fps on tvs hooked up through hdmi doesn't it? Fuck.

Use Borderless Gaming to fix it.

[JDHarbs]

I don't have Injustice yet, that may be the only other thing I pick up aside from Ground Zeroes.

Picked it up during the last sale. Its worth $5, but this is coming from someone who enjoyed Masters of Teras Kasi back in the day.

 

[Cyberquake]

Awaiting for the usual "hidden deals" threads.

Here we go again everyone! Idlemaster has prepared me for this moment.

 

[electroflame]

It's "okay". Even if you do everything, you'd be hard pressed to get more than 6 hours out of it. Not to mention that after you do it a couple times, you'll probably get pretty tired of it.

I'd say it's a good deal for ~$5-7. Anything more is kind of a waste when you could put it towards the "real" game.

 

[kingocfs]

Are these sales usually two weeks?

 

[ito007]

Just picked up shadowrun returns and Thomas was alone for $5. Hopefully these get some plays instead of sit in the backlog for years

 

[Haunted]

my wishlist looks disappointing sales wise

except for Super Time Force being 40% right off the bat. hoping for 75% daily

I like that this is on the main page now. One click less to check wishlist games.

Any game above 75% discount on the wishlist is an immediate buy for me (or it's removed from the wishlist. ) - none yet!

 

[Volotaire]

Defy Gravity Extended is 95% off

A steal if you haven't got it in bundles before.

 

[Kryptonite]

About Love, Hate and the other ones is on sale with a 25% discount but I think everyone got that 80% voucher which should bring it down to a stupid 95% off

I think they just changed the coupon .. can't use it with other discounts now. So basically I won't be getting the game until it's in a bundle.

 

[AkuMifune]

For those having trouble accessing the site, the mobile app (android) is much more stable for me.

Even bought those 97% off games no problem.

 

[Volcynika]

Are these sales usually two weeks?

Holiday sale is usually the longest, generally.

 

[Lagamorph]

As usual Valve following the Blizzard school of thought in knowing exactly when you're going to need temporary extra capacity but not bothering to do anything about it.

For people having trouble purchasing, the website seems to be a lot more stable/reliable than the application.

 

[Instro]

Dark Souls 2 would be tempting but that new version is coming next year...

 

[Costia]

metal gear solid ground zeroes is cheaper on GMG - $10.72 with the 20% off
(edit: nuuvem doesn't work for me)

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

What Steam level are you? There's a minimum level for it.

Jokes? Dammit

 

[Jb]

Hopefully Valkyria will be one of the dailies. Wouldn't mind replaying it.

 

[cardinalmind]

You guys just made me buy two bad games for 0.25$.

 

[outunderthestars]

Looks lime the site is fairly overloaded at the moment.

 

[Gjerven]

Your steam level has to be at least 8 to get the cards by voting. If you're at level 8 and havent gotten your card it's probably because their servers are getting hammered right now but you'll get it eventually- i've had that happen to me before during past sales.

There's my problem, I'm level 7.

[RyanPierre]

I'd like to see the Dark Souls 2 DLC go on sale some time in the next two weeks, but I'm guessing it's probably not part of it at all if there's no discount from the get-go?

 

[Raxious]

try another browser

I'm talking about the actual Steam program. Not the site.

 

[Buttonbasher]

I'm talking about the actual Steam program. Not the site.

The client is always MUCH MUCH slower than using a browser to access the store.

 

[SteveWinwood]

I'm talking about the actual Steam program. Not the site.

oh

well your solution there is to use a browser because the client sucks normally i cant imagine using it when its under load

 

[Naked Snake]

My Wishlist looks good.

 

[Mass Effect]

Dark Souls 2 would be tempting but that new version is coming next year...

Same here. It's better to just wait at this point.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Not even a small discount on Dark Souls II DLC haha.

 

[dreamfall]

Not even a small discount on Dark Souls II DLC haha.

Ugh, I was so excited about this maybe happening :/

 

[Annubis]

There's my problem, I'm level 7.

If you get to 8, Steam will give you all the cards you missed up to now.
I suggest you try and find a badge whose cards are dirt cheap and craft it for 100xp (1 level)

Otherwise, if you are 50xp away or so and close to the next 'game collector' tier, you can just buy games on the sale as normal and level up with that.

 

[Anustart]

Ugh. Really want Ds 2 and ground zeroes, but timing was just bad this year. Dad died a couple weeks ago and there went sale budget.

I didnt know gz was 20 minutes. I assume that's after you've played it a few times but still. Sad that its probably shorter than mgs2 tanker mission.

 

[rainking187]

Looks like a pretty decent sale. A couple of disappointments, Ubisoft having a base 40% discount for everything, and I wanted to get the Adventure Time Explore the Dungeon if it was cheap enough, but it's still the full $39.99.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

i know this isn't the thread for it but i'm so mad at myself over the DS2 DLC. so i beat the game before the DLC was available for download. after beating the final boss you can stay in the game and fuck around or whatever. OR you can start a new game+ which ramps up the difficulty and etc. it also resets the waypoints and you basically start from the beginning again.

not thinking about it i said meh might as well start NG+. not a few days later the DLC is out, i download it and to get to the DLC areas you need to go through certain areas later in the game. now i have to basically play the whole game over again, even harder!, to experience them. makes me mad at myself!
