Road Redemption is great, still in Early Access too.

I've noticed Activision does fire sales right before they delist licensed games.
Deadpool only got 6 months of availability.

Ah, I'm thinking of something else. You know, the motorcycle game that may have been the worst game of last year?
Late reply but if you middle mouse click, you get a new tab opened and you get to keep your spot.

I doubt it will go that low. You have to pay that Ubisoft tax.
No notice, but as has already been said, ever since Valve introduced the ability for publishers to set their own sale periods, Acti has been good about heavily discounting the games that are on the chopping block. Acti generally voluntarily gives up licences rather than letting them run their course -- this is why its licensed games almost invariably disappear in December/January (i.e. when its FY ticks over). The only licensed Acti game I've seen live a full life in recent years is Monster Jam (released November 2007; pulled February 2014).
...never knew that metal slug defense game even existed before this sale
I recalled it came out but had forgotten about it, I had heard it's merely a f2p mobile game that was ported to pc, but I didn't look into it beyond that.

You probably mean Ride to Hell: Retribution. That game has been removed from Steam.
How is the performance in Road Redemption? Is it possible to play at 60fps?

Eek, you know you got it bad when youre getting torn up in your Wikipedia summary
Road Redemption is like the Road Rash successor, right?

Does Road Redemption run well?

Are Metal Slug 3 and X any good? Only played the original at arcades but I don't like the 20% discount.
Metal Slug X is my favorite, I just bought it myself (downloading now)

So in Day 1 the Monster game wouldn't even launch. In Day 2 I kept getting an error. Now it's at the end of Day 3 and I'm launching the game, but I'm waiting for 1000 people to join for over an hour because at this point everyone else who's playing this thing is WELL past the point of being lvl 1.

sadly stuff like that happens from time to time in the sale.
buying the individual dlc of the season pass for borderlands tps is like $18 while the season pass is $20 (is was $22 but they updated the discount slightly)

I found Apotheon to be one of most boring and clunky games I have played in a long time.

What have I bought so far?
It's all a blur.
This happened with the Oddworld Bundle the other day as well.
The bundle was $6.74 whereas all four games bought separately were $5.21.

I was worried that the movement controls looked like they might not be the best while watching the trailer, I won't bother then - thanks

The devs said it won't go on sale until it's out of early access.

It's still in Early Access? I thought they just updated a lot. A-whoops.
I'm stunned at Korra dropping below $4. It's a Platinum game so I gotta have it. Didn't even realize it was on PC, honestly ... I'd just been dragging my feet about buying it on Xbox.
I think I'm gonna spring for Prison Architect, too. I was just talking about it the other day, and here it is for 85% off! Looks like a great deal. And for $1.50 more, I can get the soundtrack, the artbook (digitally, I imagine) and four other little games (DEFCON and Uplink look the most interesting) that the developer has made. I may go with that one.
I'm interested in Cities Skylines but I don't feel like I'd play it right away, so I think I can wait until it gets a deeper discount. Maybe it'll be 50% off in the fall or winter sales.

This is a dumb sentiment. There are games that have been fully released that are less complete and content-rich than Prison Architect at this point.
Picked up Super Time Force Ultra from the flash sale, played through the tutorial. It's confusing at first but it was a lot of fun, I'm excited to play through more of it.
Guess I'll pick up Korra if there's fear of a delisting soon. I was thinking about it but wasn't sure, I guess I'll go for it.
Still waiting on Metal Gear sales!

Well it does have a 40 % discount already, so I do hope they go for the 75 % one. We will see.

I'd like to know this too :X
Guess I'm grabbing dat RR now.
Hell yeah they are, Metal Slug 1-3 are the GOAT and among my top 10 games of all time.

It's $4
Just buy it, you could do worse.
It's not as bad as people say, think of it as a brawler with Platinum inspired combat and you're good to go.
It's an amazing game. You should buy it.

And you get the finished game when released anyway.

Apparently Tales of Borderlands was price manipulated to show a "sale." This is getting ridiculous. Every day we've had this happen.
Remember that time when Valve was going to sell us mods? Oh yeah, it was LAST MONTH. Now they are allowing this shit to happen, basically tricking people into thinking they are getting a good deal like this was a used car lot.
I'd like to hear our supposed lord and savior GabeN explain why deceptive marketing Is acceptable.

Refunds are also a thing now. I use to be anti EA for the most part but now... there's not really a risk besides lost time.

The Gabe does not control the prices.
The Gabe's focus is on other things now alas.
Also there was a thread made about price manipulation but nobody cared much about it cuz it was Steam only.
not sure where you are talking about.
it was 50% off to start the sale
it's now only 33% off now that the first wave of sales is no more.
at the 50% off it was the cheapest it had been on steam.
if you were talking about the price being raised before the sale... well it's a MSRP 24.99 game so that checks out as well.
