it already lost to Mortal Kombat Komplete

And Skyrim.

 

[Rhaknar]

you guys realise that there has NEVER been a negative price error that actually let you buy the game before right? it always bugs out when you try

damn these steam rookies

 

[legacyzero]

BUY METRO: LAST LIGHT!

Because it's my GOTY.

 

[educator]

Should run ok on Medium settings.

Thanks, I think i'll take my chances and buy it!

 

[cicero]

Why are yesterday's "Big Deals" now crappy deals? I thought they were supposed to remain at yesterday's prices through today.

 

[Granadier]

Borderlands 2 GOTY is the item that's 125% off. That said, it's no longer available from the Borderlands 2 page and you can't add it to your cart (or at least I couldn't).

On the mobile Steam app it shows as being $30.

Edit: My bad, I looked up Borderlands 1.

 

[JavyOO7]

Hey guys,

Im interested in buying Bioshock Infinite (my first steam game), but unsure how well it would run on my computer.

I have an iMac with 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 with NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 1024 MB. I bought it today for other reasons than gaming, but it would be a pleasant surprise if it could run it decently.

What do you guys think?

Thanks!

I have a Mac Mini late 2011 model with an intel HD 3000. All I really wanted it for was to run League and several indie games that I wanted. Works great for that purpose. The one thing is Mac games don't run to hot on my integrated graphic card but I'm sure it'd run fine on yours. But even then, I just put bootcamp and Windows 7 and I think you'd be ace.

Take advantage of the sale. One day left!

My computer has far worse specs than those and mine can still run the game at low settings. It will run just fine.
Your first Steam game should be Team Fortress 2, though.

 

[ev0]

Aw man, was hoping Papers, Please would come back so I could use my Steam wallet.

Now to decide to get it from Humble or not

 

[JaseC]

Part of me was hoping Ubi would stealth re-release Anno 1404 coincident with Anno 2070 being an encore deal.

 

[Beelzeboss]

I bought Counter Strike with all that card money I made.

Take that Valve!

 

[amdnv]

Why are yesterday's "Big Deals" now crappy deals? I thought they were supposed to remain at yesterday's prices through today.

I'm wondering the same thing, is this an error?

 

[BFIB]

Sweet! Arkham Origins to end my purchases on the sale.

Was hoping for another deal on BioShock Infinite DLC, but that can wait. Also debating on Tomb Raider.

 

[denx]

Why are yesterday's "Big Deals" now crappy deals? I thought they were supposed to remain at yesterday's prices through today.

The prices have probably not been updated yet.

edit: yep, prices updated.

 

[Grief.exe]

These popular deals seem really circumspect to me, they just brought back all of the AAA releases.

because these are real games

The ghost of Derrick returns

 

[Archaix]

Thanks, I would probably bought it but for some reason they changed the discount from 75% to 35% despite being still in the yesterday's deals section... shit.

Why are yesterday's "Big Deals" now crappy deals? I thought they were supposed to remain at yesterday's prices through today.

Shows 75% off for me. Maybe the discount going back up was an error? YNAB is also 75% off for me, NS2 90% off, etc.

 

[honorless]

And it seems as though zerokoolpsx was right about 1000 being the level cap. PalmDesert still has over 2000 holiday sale cards left; at this late date, I imagine he'd just keep leveling the badge up if it was possible.

JaseC was probably right about the badge being "unlimited" only because Valve would raise the cap as more people hit it (sure explains why the later badges are just crops of the header and footer images) but since it's so late in the sale and so few people are at level 1000 I'm doubtful that will happen again.

He may still be the only person with a level 100 foil. Congrats to the dude, at any rate!

 

[StAidan]

Well, sale's over for me, as I expected. Bioshock's the only deal left on my wishlist, but I can wait for the $5 mark at the end of 2014. Got plenty of stuff to play until then.

 

[PastorOfMuppets]

The card market is weird. I normally just dump my cards because I really don't care, but I was curious about the Tomb Raider background I had from the summer sale. As I expected it was 3-4 cents for the past month. But the odd part is there are a few spikes where someone bought one for over $10?! I don't get it. Did they think that was funny? The store defaults to showing the cheapest cards so I don't see how it could be a mistake. Who knows...

There's no way to transfer Steam wallet funds (yet) so what people do if money is to be exchanged is one party puts up an item for a ridiculous price that no one will buy and the other party buys it at that price. You still gotta pay vig to the Steam Gods by doing this though so it's not something you should do with large quantities of cash.

 

[Kurdel]

Such a classy way to end the sale with these dailies.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Aw man, and I wanted my Borderlands 2 at 125% off.

 

[Hellraider]

I wanted to buy sonic racing transformed. Was it ever a flash that I missed?
Who knows when it will next go on sale...

 

[Turfster]

Anno 2070 75% off


this is the game with triple drm?

Yes.

 

[Beelzeboss]

I'm kinda pissed that all the indie stuff seems to have gone back to normal prices

I usually wait until the last day of the sale to pick up the few that don't get featured.

 

[Fuu]

Trying to resist Skyrim once more, I know I should wait for a better deal on the legendary edition in the (far) future.

 

[kubus]

There's something weird about that Just Cause Collection bundle on Steam...

Price of individual games: 6,11€
Bundle cost: 14,99€

Pretty amazing how there are people out there that have essentially mastered the Steam metagame and have become the Final Bosses of Steam.

 

[Rhaknar]

Saints 4 Season Pass isnt on sale this time, what the shit?

 

[vg260]

Welp, my only regret was not getting Cook, Serve, Delicious. Oh well. Maybe it will show up in some sort of indie bundle in the near future.

Cool, thanks!

I'll try to check out bootcamp, not to fond on Windows (hehe) but it could really get me into PC/MAC gaming, something I've left out the last 6 years unfortunately.

 

[zkylon]

the guy owns almost as many games as JaseC and has more badges, pretty much all of them maxed out.
(He also has more DLC

he's also close friends with saoirse ronan

 

[Grief.exe]

Probably will only have to wait a few days for the Amazon January deals.

You'll have no problems.

Amazon has it for five bucks if you're in the US.


edit: Also the Sonic Pack for $15 if you're interested in a million Sonic games.

 

[eot]

Thanks, I think i'll take my chances and buy it!

I don't know if you plan on using a controller or what controller support is like under OSX, but if you're gonna use a mouse I really recommend disabling mouse acceleration. I use this: http://smoothmouse.com/

 

[educator]

Your first Steam game should be Team Fortress 2, though.

Sweet, I'll check that out!

 

[kutthoat5150]

and finally got stanley parable which should do it for me, unless they put out that humble bundle with the swapper and rogue legacy

 

[Colin.]

I bought Counter Strike with all that card money I made.

Take that Valve!

And the cards and drops from that can regain you more money! I got a Winter weapon case yesterday that got me 90p, after Valve's cut.

 

[Lautaro]

Shows 75% off for me. Maybe the discount going back up was an error? YNAB is also 75% off for me, NS2 90% off, etc.

Nice, they fixed it. It's funny but 3.74 US$ it was exactly what I had in my Steam Wallet.

 

[Granadier]

Valve's present for 2014 is Borderlands 2 GOTY for free.
They just messed up and set it up to pay you instead.

Spoiler

Please, Gaben, please

Edit: Amazon shows $30 for the GOTY, so that's probably what the price will be.

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

He did it.

 

[Buttonbasher]

Yesterdays daily's seem to have reverted back to their daily prices once more.

 

[Ravensmash]

and finally got stanley parable which should do it for me, unless they put out that humble bundle with the swapper and rogue legacy

I hope there's a new humble bundle today.

Should be another weekly regardless though.

 

[Zafir]

Nice price on Borderlands 2 there!

Hah, was too late. Saddening that when I try and go through to the page it doesn't stick!

 

[topplehat]

Wish I could get Borderlands 2 for -$15.01

 

[PedroPanache]

I don't understand this whole snow globe collection thing. Apparently I have all 10. Is it worth clicking on "Craft Badge"? Or is it a case of if it's passed me by at this point, there's no point in bothering.

 

[Branson]

Is Anno like a poor mans sim city or is it actually good?

 

[Tabby]

Borderlands 2 is on sale for -125% off
What a bargain.

 

[Buttonbasher]

Can't hurt. You can sell the item you get at the end, or just sell all of the cards.

 

[Grief.exe]

It's well deserved Grief, you are among one of the fine members in this amazing Community.

Thanks Monk, truly appreciate it.

Thanks for posting that Grief . It's made me feel all warm and fuzzy which is very welcome today.

Thanks to Rayge for sending me the game!
