SO wait, can't remember whether it's been mentioned, but prices stay the same during the entire sale right? No flash sales or what not anymore, ala last Winter Sale — correct?
 
Stealth Inc 2 is 90% off, first one was great
 
was The Evil Within optimized? I remember it playing really poorly and unoptimized on PCs when it first came out.

A performance patch hit a few weeks after release that helped out quite a bit, I never had any issues with it after that.

$10 is a steal.
 
Anyone else think the steam sales just keep getting lazier? No activities, no daily deals or flash sales, no community involvement at all, just cards that don't do anything special. There's a nice animation at the top of the store but even that feels like it's less than usual with its very simple style.

Thanks definitely been wanting to grab this and you're right, a good deal for me finally! :)

It was. 60 fps is working now, performance is better and you can disable the black bars.

Forgot about the black bars, awesome! thanks!
 
Remember Harvest Moon? It's back, in PC form.

Am I better off with the base game of dishonored of the definitive edition?

Definitive edition comes with the DLCs, and Dishonored's DLCs are supposed to be amazing.

I'm actually in the same boat prepping for 2, and I'm going definitive.

Definitely grabbing Doom at that price. I was gonna buy it off of CDKEYS, but much rather just get it off of Steam instead if it's the same price
 
Gat out of Hell is (finally) 75% off too
 
Was looking forward to Witcher 3 dlc but only 10% off...

Interested in AC Rogue but meh 45% is now enough for impulse buy.

Maybe Dead Rising 3....
 
Some decent prices:

oxenfree is 50% off
ether one 75% off
adr1ft 50% off
sea will claim everything 60% off
the room 75% off (1.34)
peggle nights 75% off (this is a best-ever)
epic mickey 2 75% off
trash tv 80% off (best ever--this is an exploration platformer, maybe a metroidvania)
75% off spider: rite of the shrouded moon (iOS spider-themed platformer, very highly acclaimed)
75% off leo's fortune (also an acclaimed iOS platformer)
50% off the aquatic adventure of the last human (metroidvania game i think)
50% off the bad port of ascension
50% off hitman go
75% off lostwinds / lostwinds 2
40% off twilight struggle
50% off the atari vault

I will get Twilight Struggle now.
 
Think I'm going to go light on this sale and just pick up Hotline Miami 2 and VA-11 HALL-A.

My wallet's light from buying a G910 last week, and the latter game I'm interested isn't on sale, soooooo.
 
Fuck, I'm at work, can't see any deals till 6 tonight.

Are any of these games on sale???
Divinity original sin
Shadowrun hong Kong
Deus ex human revolution

Those the three I really want to play, like, badly.

D:OS - 50% $19.99
S:HK - 65% $6.99
DE:HR - 75% $4.99
 
I've got to decide between Hyper Light Drifter and Salt & Sanctuary. Which should I take?

Hyper Light Drifter is, by all accounts, an amazing "Zelda-like"

Salt & Sanctuary is a good but not great 2d Dark Souls clone with some pacing/difficulty spike problems. If you adore Souls, it's a good purchase.
 
Got paid this morning, DOOM and Transformers: Devestation on Sale.

Plenty of 20% off deals for games I may pick up since I've been waiting.

But 40% off DOOM and 75% off Transformers are insta bought.



Eh, just do your queue and remove stuff like early access and genres you don't like.

Nice. I didn't even know you could remove early access shit from your queue.
 
Punch Club 75% off lowest ever I believe
 
I'm another one of those "I was never really interested in Harvest Moon-type games" people that ended up picking Stardew Valley up because of all of the hype, I put almost 80 hours in to it and the only reason it isn't higher is because I'm waiting on the next patch to start over. Its a lot of fun, a great game for playing while you're watching TV/listening to a podcast.

Sounds like something right up my alley. I've been looking for a games to combo with my podcasts.
 
I wonder if it might be helpful in the future for Valve to take the store down for an hour before the start of a major sale so that everything can update during that time without the traffic load stressing the servers simultaneously.
