Grabbed the Alien Isolation season pass. Good price today imo.
How is Fable Anni btw.? I always wanted to play Fable but from what I read in the reviews on Steam I should better stick to Lost Chapters, right?

I've wanted to get this game for a while. And everyone's been super iffy about the game. This is almost the first glowing review I've seen of the game on gaf.
Paid version gives a lot of credits to use to play some modes that can only be played by paying.
Did you get all the DLC? If so it might. Base game is something like 50-60GB
No. Uplay games and the Steam versions thereof are technically different apps.

Ah, think that may have been a bug, now it's showing 8GB for single player as well.
First time I swore it said 49gb for single player and 52 for mp.
I see. Even then you could try the game once its free and then purchase those credits i would assume.
But that's just me. People can do what they want with their money.
Also, is anyone's Flash Sales saying 33 hours left until new ones?
The two apps share data, so if you have one installed then you don't need to download everything when installing the other.
hmm so not a lot of story/non-sneaky gameplay? doesnt really sound worth it lol

Civ V Complete. You want to get Civ V with Gods & Kings and Brave New World, as well as all of the Civ, scenario and wonder DLC. It will literally provide you hundreds, if not over a thousand, hours of entertainment.
You'll install Civ V, start playing it, hit one more turn and then suddenly it's Tuesday.
I think I'm one of the rare people that likes Beyond Earth (it has been patched a few times since released and there are a lot of good community mods) but Civ V Complete is where you want to start if you're just entering the series.

I think that you're a bit late to the party!
It was discounted further for 24 hours as part of the first set of yesterday's Flash Sales. It may reappear later or it may not.
Edit: All of the DLC for the original Rocksmith was 40% off while only select DLC for 2014 was discounted (also -40%).

Gah- I bought Democracy 3 for my politics/ stats obsessed kid (don't ask), then noticed it was also on sale on GOG, as also was the DLC. I don't want to go through a refund process for the sake of a quid, so does anyone know if the GoG DLC works with the Steam base game? I'm assuming it would do, but the Steam version has achievements and cards, so I'm not sure.

Yeah it's a glitch. Had this from the first day. Just remember the hours when the flash sales renew. It's every 12 hours
So in other words: Ysy does it.
Can't speak for the new version (I heard its buggier than the vanilla release), but the original with the Romero mod (double/triple/quadruple the zombies that behave like proper slow shamblers) is AWESOME. Its a bit rough and can be buggy but its fun as hell. I put like 60 hours into it before I got burned out.

Let's see how well the Steam Refund System handles this one.
...why doesn't he just yank the game?
Mavromatis
Member
No idea, but I wonder if the dev "updated" it to garbage. I guess this is a recent decision since the dev signed up for the summer sale.
I'm afraid that we will only see a 40% discount at most :-/
He nuked his game today according to his own site.

According to the steamdb the main executable of that game has changed at the same time with its name. I wonder if the game still runs or is it just a picture of shit like the store page.
It was just a rename. The game has never been patched.

Better deals on Ethan Carter and Alien: Isolation season pass!

Yeah, but the timing seemed weird, anyway they just removed it now.
Well, Darkbase 01 is off the store.
But if you want the +1, here it is:

Well my first Steam Refund experience was nice.
Wife bought me Alien Isolation & Far Cry 4 at full retail for my birthday a few weeks ago, gifted them to me and I added to my library but did not play yet.
"Ungifted" them today (Basically gives permission to the buyer to refund) and she ran the refund and they both went through in less than 2 hours.
Now I can rebuy during this sale and save $75.

I'm not sure how much you're looking off of it, but as somebody else told me Indiegala has it for $30 and it redeems on Steam.
Realistically I couldn't see it dropping below 50% off so I ended up going that route.
Ditto for the former and latter of your choices. Watching the dev explain Ethan Carter, and it seems interesting. I don't see any combat but the world looks stunning. Transistor I'm thinking of buying just because I love the art.

I'd go Transistor just for the music alone.
