I was browsing their actual shop as well and it seems to have some decent prices.

Is Dino D-Day any good? The premise intrigues me.

I'm going to go ahead and wait to see what other people get as their "random" games. I can't imagine it being cost-effective for the seller to give away games worth over 1 Euro very often.

Probably stocked up on bundle keys to give away, plus giving away some stock that isn't selling at all. Take the profits from that and occasionally give out a big-name game to get buzz spreading and you're onto a winner.

It's begun on a Thursday the past couple of years (the 22nd last year and the 24th the year before).

Edit: Bah, I keep forgetting that Steam's news posts use local date/time, so Thursday here = Wednesday in the US. The 27th seems like a safe bet as the 20th strikes me as a little too early.

Next week then? Great, due to National Day holidays over here I may get my paycheck early which should come with some overtime bonus >=3
MY MONEY IS READY FOR YOU GABEN, GIVE ME THE BEST YOU GOT!

It's shit stay away from it. This is coming from someone who loves anything dinosaurs. The premise is cool but the execution is lousy. Especially since it's MP only and basically all but dead online. If you do want it it's cheaper to get the FPS bundle on BundleStars (Not sure if that is what you were looking at)

I still have 2 PS3 Disgaeas untouched, no cheating there.

Something like Disagea I could probably play legit.
Agarest here has some really odd systems in place. I still not quite sure how to get better weapons.

Finished Shank. Wee! Fun game and I didnt even connect the dots that Klei is a pretty fucking great developer.

Gameplay was pretty strong but felt a bit unresponsive with the dodges and shielding but still very fun. Definitely would like to play co-op some time.

I forgot, was the flak about the final boss in Shank 1 or Shank 2? The entirety of 1 felt pretty balanced.

Hmm, that RandomGameKeys thing seems fishy, but if Gaffers can testify to its truthfactiness, I might be tempted to throw a few Euros their way and see what happens.

I'll gladly ModBot the ones I already own, of course.

I have both Agarest games on PSN, bought it long before we got steam one, but I played so little of zero, that can't really give any advise. I thought bs is quite interesting, but can vividly imagine in what bloody slaughter can it turn with right swarm of stronger enemies.

To this day Agarest 1 will always be remembered by me with the time I got destroyed by the chicken boss...

Isn't that cute and memorable? (><)

Blinded by the luminous glory that is David Bowie's physical manifestation.
Man if Tomb Raider 1-3 was sold at $2.49 with Last Revelations (4) and Chronicles (5) included as a bundle at that price like GoG is doing 1-3 right now, I'd be all over that.

But $69 for them, the reboot, and the re-reboot? D:

(Yes, I know I missed a chance during the Summer sale, but it was still too expensive for all of them together)

EDIT: Just noticed Oil Rush didn't show up. Key is in a weird format with no dashes so I'll give it another shot later.

God, I'm really tempted to get more random Steam keys. This is why I got addicted to TF2 uncrating.

Since I got Dino D-Day after mentioning it.... I'm gonna buy another 20 keys in half an hour. If I get Assasins Creed IV, I'll buy another 20 at the end of the month and mention your website when I can. If I don't get it, I'm done.

Your move, randomgamekeys.

(I expect nothing)

This is how they get you, isn't it?

Games worth more that the diamonds on your first try or two and after that, bad rats all the time.

I wonder whether if you buy in bulk they put something in place to avoid you getting duplicates. Probably not.

Are you suggesting that Bad Rats isn't worth the diamonds? Surely not!

So, because of Sony cert, Luftrausers, which has been done on PC for months, is now releasing early 2014.
Click to expand...

Early 2014 seems quite optimistic considering console cert processes are the reason why Episode Three missed its original release date of Christmas 2007.

Good news, everyone! The Russian branch of Ubisoft apparently said that they'll honor my 100 roubles ACIV + Watch Dogs preorder. What they actually said is "your order appears as valid in our system", which is not very clear, but I think that's what it says.

So how many of SteamGAF has used this yet and what's all your total title haul per purchase?

This is too good to be true.
Click to expand...

Well batch 1 was Fez, Oil Rush, A Virus Named TOM, Dino D-Day and Hitman Absolution. JaseC's are all up there in his giveaway.

Gonna go for 20 and see what happens.

Am I right in thinking that &#8364;1 is 10 of whatever virtual payment currency they're using on the site?
Click to expand...

Correct, so it's 1 Euro a game. If someone is juts getting into PC gaming, would be a nice way to start a game collection I'm thinking as they do seem to be previously bundled games for the most part.

It's a pity they don't do a 5 Euro "Games released in the last month" random deal or something. Sure, there will still be some cheap indie games, but at least it would lessen the chance of getting something I already own.

Ah, so that's the clincher at the moment isn't it? All the titles were from past bundles.

EDIT:
Purchase the Random Mysterious Steam Chest and win one of the many games on the Steam Store. You can get any game from the Steam Store including the best titles on Steam: Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Thief, Batman Arkham Origins and more. Try your luck and see what game you get from opening the Random Mysterious Steam Chest.

Hmm... Dare I risk it? Especially since it's this close to Steam sales.

Has Paradox said anything about Wizard Wars releasing in Eastern Europe? I do love my DDEs, but I'm not about to pay $50 for a Magicka game.

Noticed there was a few threads on Steam Community where people were saying "Why game not available Russia? (P.S. Sorry for English)" with no replies, so I'm not thinking it's promising.

RGK seems pretty sweet but since I'm quite particular about my games there's just too much risk of getting something I have no interest in. Then again, I could give those away in here.

Sounds like you had a bad experience with it. During the Christmas Holiday promotion there were a bunch of people playing and it was fairly fun.
