I just picked up Chroma Squad for $2.25. That just seemed too good.

 

[HiroTSK5]

Fifteen minutes of fighting to finally get Chroma Squad, whereas a game on the front page took me nothing to get. It begins.

 

[Danielsan]

I know it gets said every new sale, but man. Steam sales just aren't what they used to be.

 

[VindictiveGnome]

Why oh why is the upgrade to Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin a $1 cheaper?

 

[guavatin]

I know it gets said every new sale, but man. Steam sales just aren't what they used to be.

Well what were they like then?

How are they any different from now?

 

[Temporal Mess]

Fuck. I got booted out of the library I was in for taking up too much bandwidth and when I got to the local Costa all of my Steam prices are in GBP.
If I still buy games in USD will I be charged an extra currency conversion fee or something?

 

[OniBarubary]

Buy Ziggurat.

BUY ZIGGURAT.

Do it.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

RE5 DLC only 15% off. Bodes not well for the daily.
Wolfenstein Old Blood already 33% off.
Dark Souls 2 Scholar is already 50% off.
Pillars already 25% off.
Divinity 25% off too.

The dailies should be good for the games I want

 

[TerryLee81]

Gemini Rue is -70%.

Heard good things here on GAF iirc. Anyone played it?

 

[Remote]

GTA V is now 25% off. €56.23. FML

 

[anothertech]

GTAVvvvvv... Please don't triple dip.. Please don't triple dip. Dam it

 

[Nickle]

Well what were they like then?

How are they any different from now?

There used to be offers that were literally too good to avoid.

 

[FloatingDivider]

Advice for getting price glitched stuff during the steam sale: Always be there for deal refresh. Refresh page like mad. 90% off (for something recent) is almost a guaranteed price glitch. Any percentage that doesn't end in 0, 3, 5, or 6 is almost guaranteed to be price glitch. Mash buy as quickly as you can because they tend to be fixed relatively quickly.

I feel like we headed to the shelf at the same time and you took the copy I was reaching for

 

[nintendork666]

Search is back up.

No Star Wars games on sale today.

=(

 

[C4rter]

Doh! missed a pricing error for GTA V for 22.48 euro's. Knew when I saw that I should've instabought. Lets see if I can keep my money for a while longer to see what else this sale brings...

It wasn't a pricing error. Both of these ingame money cards were wrongly labeled "GTA V" but it wasn't "GTA V" just these stupid cards.

 

[GoodMorningPluto]

Okay, so with a bit of luck I managed to get to my wishlist and saw a bunch of things at 75% already. But now when I click store page it never loads
Why you do this to me Gabe, just let me waste my money already!

 

[FF Seraphim]

It is insane how many times they have such sales that they cannot fix the server issues for Steam... oh well got to wait until it dies down I guess

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Of everything on my wishlist I think I'll only get Insurgency and Galactic Civilizations 3 of they go cheaper.

 

[Miker]

RE5 DLC only 15% off. Bodes not well for the daily.

66% off or bust! KEEP THE FAITH.

 

[Ricker]

Alright never played Metro (own 2033) and the Redux bundle is $10. Yay or nay.

Yay...hard games though,especially some sections in the first.

So they fixed GTAV now...? because in Canada here and I dont see it at 20 bucks.

 

[ArjanN]

Guys, for fucks sake.

It's the same every. single. time. there's a big sale. You know this.

The store and community is going to be wonky anytime the daily update happens for every day of the sale.. Just relax and try again an hour (or two) later.

 

[Ellite25]

Lol @ this GTA V deal. I can't believe that shit. You still can't get it for less than full price (yeah I know it's bundled with other shit, but I bet a lot of people don't care about that stuff).

 

[poros1ty]

lol Rockstar, never buying a game from them again. Can't even buy the game alone? Not even a 25% discount on the game? LMAO.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Hmm... no discounts at all for Life is Strange season pass.

 

[Danielsan]

Well what were they like then?

How are they any different from now?

I feel that the discounts used to be more significant.

 

[guavatin]

There used to be offers that were literally too good to avoid.

Yeah, but on the first moment of the sale?

 

[Vlad]

How's Fez for 2$? I've been itching for a game like that for a while.


(If I can buy it, that is, with all the errors..)

It's not bad. I've beaten it, but I haven't gotten 100% just yet. The whole perspective shifting is a cool idea at first, but the game never really does anything cool with it. Usually it's just a matter of getting stuck somewhere, rotating the world until you can continue, and then moving on. Neat game with good music, but it felt a little half-baked.

 

[TheSeks]

DOA5 is $24 but fuck what if it goes on sale during a daily.

Wait until the last day of the sale/encores. If it hasn't gone cheaper that that BUY.

This is the rule ALWAYS. There is rarely RARELY price-mistakes on sales once Valve settles it.

 

[thesaucetastic]

Damn I can't get anywhere on Steam without an error.

 

[Hakkelus]

GTA 5, 55,48 euros...

Will it be cheaper at some point, what do you guys think?

 

[Kifimbo]

I know it gets said every new sale, but man. Steam sales just aren't what they used to be.

That's not true. Bundles just skewed our perception, plus many people already owned most of the games on sale. I just looked at some of my old purchases from 2009-2011, and I bought things that looked like phenomenal deals back then that are just decent deals nowadays.

 

[Mavromatis]

Yay game!

 

[TuckingFypo]

Logged out again lmao. Think I'll come back in a few hours instead..

 

[NuMiQ]

It wasn't a pricing error. Both of these ingame money cards were wrongly labeled "GTA V" but it wasn't "GTA V" just these stupid cards.

Hah, well that's an 'interesting' snafu. Thanks tho Guess we won't see the game at that pricepoint for at least a year.

 

[spineduke]

Gemini Rue is -70%.

Heard good things here on GAF iirc. Anyone played it?

It's an average PnC. I didn't find any of the puzzles or dialogue that great but if it's for a few dollars, you could do worse.

 

[Vuze]

Crafted badge, didn't get a sale card

n1

 

[Kid Ska]

Well for some reason all of my progress in the monster game got reset.

 

[Alo81]

Why oh why is the upgrade to Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin a $1 cheaper?

Log back in then take a second look. This is with the base game + DLC.

I was confused at first too.

 

[Anteater]

double dragon is 2bucks

anyone know if the netcode is any good?

 

[Chubzdoomer]

Lol @ this GTA V deal. I can't believe that shit. You still can't get it for less than full price (yeah I know it's bundled with other shit, but I bet a lot of people don't care about that stuff).

I'm honestly tempted to just buy a cheap CD key after a stunt like that. I was hoping for a 25% discount at the very least!

 

[Red Blaster]

why is it showing gtav's msrp as 79.98

 

[MajorMane]

GTA 5, 55,48 euros...

Will it be cheaper at some point, what do you guys think?

Be strong, friend.

It was actually cheaper earlier due to a glitch, but I'm sure it will be a daily or flash sometime.

 

[kewlmyc]

DOA5 is $24 but fuck what if it goes on sale during a daily.

Then wait until the last day. If it goes on a daily before then, then get it then.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Trying to buy Max Payne 3 for $6.69. Clicking it does nothing, searching for the game finds nothing. WTF.

 

[VindictiveGnome]

Log back in then take a second look. This is with the base game + DLC.

I was confused at first too.

Thank you!

 

[FistOfSyn]

anyone else getting ''error initializing or updating your transaction'' error?

 

[TerryLee81]

It's an average PnC. I didn't find any of the puzzles or dialogue that great but if it's for a few dollars, you could do worse.

Ok thanks, guess for EUR 2,39 not much can go wrong.

 

[Madrugador]

Gemini Rue is -70%.

Heard good things here on GAF iirc. Anyone played it?

Yes, it's great. Get it

Spoiler

on the last day if it isn't a daily.
