Yea, it often takes 3-4 sale cycles before the games I want are in my price bracket. I'd say it's publisher/developer resistance to the whole "Steam" sales model of heavy discounting. If you could maintain the same level of sales but at 2 or 3 times your usual discount price, then why not?

Yay all the way, it's fucking amazing. Usually I would recommend trying the demo but this game has a slow pace, doesn't really demo well.

Edit: Totally misread that as Gone Home, sorry!

That's cute.

Are you confusing it with Gone Home? Because Grow Home got fantastic reviews and has an 'overwhelmingly positive' rating on Steam.

The game rests on its climbing mechanics. If you think you'd enjoy that then pick it up. Be warned that it has its own jank, but it's interesting enough to bear it imo. The art isn't as special as it would like to think it is. At times it's stunning, but at other times it can feel lazy. Can't really hold that against it too hard because it is a low budget game. But there are other games out there which pull off low poly aesthetics without feeling that way. I hope I don't sound too down on it because it was one of the nicest things I've played all year.

I don't because now we a) have many more games on sale anyway and b) there are zero repeats. Those really dragged down the sales before winter (when the 12hrs thing got implemented). Also the community consistently voted for games that have been cheap(er) already many times. Glad that's gone.

there are some great deals on older games. so if you were a console only gamer last gen (like myself), you can play anything you missed in it's full 1080p/60 for a couple of bucks which is awesome
the discounts on newer stuff is pretty much non-existent in comparsion
There really isn't a "reliable" way. We just know joining a game, joining a friends game, passing level 10, and neither are surefire.
Yeah. It's 7.50 CAD for the upgrade at 50% off. Ends in 19h and some.

gimme some goddamn Konami sales so I can get Rising and LoS1 for cheap, please. Thanks.
FF 4 is great, after years is just ok. Kind feels like fan fiction. Just an excuse to bring the cast together again.

I did thank you for pointing that out.

F bought.Bah I've tried all those over the days and nothing. It's weird how immediate the first two cards are but the third is so elusive.
You can check on the badge page. Click "How do I earn card drops?" on the top right.
I'm not trying to brag or anything, it just seems weird because everything is constantly just dying instantly. My highest level before today was like... 4400, I think.
All my yays. Hard to really compare to anything, maybe the Portals. First person puzzle solving, but using light beams and stuff instead of portals.

Nice give away. Already have it but good luck to who ever wins!
None. 2 different titles from the pack have already been up as false dailies. It'll be at the same price all sale. It is a great deal despite this.

Any GAF opinions on Ironcast?
It looks interesting... but I'm not sure.

Really? I have 2,305 games and think the sale has been excellent. Many of the prices are the lowest they have ever been.
It could be more that the majority of what I want hasn't shown up yet, and I'll change my mind later on. I'm also not very into this meta game.
Yea I've bought more games so far this sale then like the last 5 combined.
Absolutely.
I work on it, so my opinion isn't exactly objective. But also it's awesome and you should buy it.
Well I've only bought one game so far....was kinda hoping newer titles would show up. Maybe being a PC gamer for 3 years now it's no longer as exciting?

I mean, you're right about that mana, but since this is one of those phase-less, "more SPD = More Turns" form of turn-based combat, SPD is beyond useful, and there are an electric shitton of enemies that reach that back row and hit them HARD necessitating points in HP. It's almost like many single-row JRPGs that way; there are no "squishies" and everyone tanks.
It's just an amazingly odd and different game with wild RPG mechanics and economy. I really wanna try out that Pally+Bard build on my next go at it so my guys are like this:
Thanks for the giveaway!

Cheers on the giveaway. I entered, that'd be quite a get.
As for the sales today, nothing I'm really jumping at that I don't have. Might pick up FFIV because why not own it on like 8 systems.

Been one for 15 years, it's always been exciting. Except for that time where GFW was a thing and Steam was a nuisance instead of this place where we get awesome deals.
There are a fuckton, an overwhelming amount looking at all them now but there are few that are straight upgrades. Most are interesting weapons to play around with. I still use the base and free weapons on most of setups. Heists you can play for free if someone who owns it hosts the game and you can be randomly assigned as another character as well.
The only ones I would say are significantly game changing is the Shotgun pack for HE rounds since they can stun enemies like Bulldozers and the Courier Pack which adds some significant mods that can help weapons become more viable. I'd say all are worth it at a ~dollar each but Payday 2 goes on sale more often than just the two big sales a year so you don't lose much by waiting it out.
edit: I forgot about the GotY pack. That's definitely worth it. Don't worry about the DLC not in there. I haven't even picked those up until today. They'll be on sale later again.
