Listing sale wishes is almost as boring and pointless and as linking to your Steam collection value.

Seriously just put Vampire on sale again, that's all I want at this point.

Amnesia, Lara Croft, and Vampire are the three big ones that I've been telling myself "as soon as they go on sale" for months. I'll probably also buy a shit ton of dirt cheap stuff that "looks interesting" :lol

I'm sorry, but if Lara Croft needs a sale for you to pick it up, there is something incredibly wrong with you. It's easily 10 hours of content in singleplayer if you 100% it (which is actually fun as hell) and you could easily add another five to that with co-op (currently playing through it in this mode now and it feels fresh because puzzles get changed around as do the cutscenes).
Oh it also looks gorgeous, runs fantastically, feels incredible on a 360 pad, and is perfectly balanced difficulty wise (my GF who never plays games doesn't feel frustrated, while I don't feel unchallenged).

My rationale goes like this: I have plenty of fun games right now to fill my meager free time. They will occupy me for a while, help kill time. Lara Croft will still be as fantastically fun three months from now (said to myself three months ago obviously).Stallion Free said:
I've heard that LC is ridiculously fun and some people's GOTY contender, and I'm willing to believe it. But when I actually play it doesn't really change how much I'll enjoy it.
Stallion Free said:
lol cool story bro. Last I checked, this was a message board so deal with it.
Here's mine:
Bad Company 2 <$10
Resident Evil 5 <$5
Counter-Strike: Source <$5
CS $2
UT2004 <$3
Black Ops <$10 (after applying my imaginary discount for people who bought the
shitty
HL2 $1
HL2 Ep1 $1
HL2 Ep2 $1
Portal $2
Lara Croft: GOTL <$5
Dirt 2 <$5
And I'm more than willing to buy many other cheap ones that I may/may not ever play.

Well I wish every game was a dollar! Valve, I'm waiting.

Currently, I really only want Vietnam, and since that requires BFBC2, well, that's what I want on the cheap.
I played a good chunk of BFBC2's campaign at my brother's, and that wasn't too hot in my opinion; Vietnam multi should end up glorious though.
Doesn't mean I wouldn't say yes to a decent deal for some game I sorta am interested in, of course.

Fuckin' buy Bloodlines already. This holding-out-for-a-deal is ridiculous.
Okay, let's make a pact: If it DOESN'T go on sale this Xmas, you guys buy it in January.
Otherwise, this is getting out of hand and you're never gonna experience this awesome game just because of $10 or whatevs. That's just not right.

That response makes no sense in regards to the argument.RickA238 said:
It's "Announcements & Updates" and you guys keep posting lists for Santa Gabe and getting the rest of our hopes up for some awesome sales when we notice the thread is getting popular. I'm not going to say "stop posting" and try to act like a civilian mod or anything, but it's disappointing coming in here with 50 new posts of nothing instead of a 75% off deal.

Only thing I even remotely want is Death Spank. And maybe Dragon Age: UE. And maybe double dip on any GOTY packs, it depends. But that's it!

It's all about sticking to your guns man.
For example, Age of Empires III was on sale for a dime, but I told myself I'd never pay more than a nickel. Wished they had a four pack so I could have shaved it down to around 7.5 cents each, but alas, no go.
unrelated EDIT:
Oh, and Amazon has some amazing digital download sales going on right now.

I have a question that is partly steam related and I figured this would be the best place to ask.
I was buying some digital music on amazon and I stumbled on to some extra money I've never used on software/video game downloads. I've never used the codes to buy digital games on amazon before and I was wondering if the games from amazon would have some weird DRM and whether or not I can link them to my steam account after I buy them.
Can anyone shed some light on this?

If Dragon Age UE goes on sale is there a good chance that the separate DLC included in the UE will also be on sale?
You have no idea.

You can link any sort of application to Steam. The full Steam featureset is only available for games that were installed via Steam though, be it through a key or through a purchase.
When you link a game to Steam, almost always, you get the Steam overlay, even if it's not a Steam game. Like, I have SWAT4 linked to Steam, and get the overlay.

What the hell is the deal with this game? I see it brought up on GAF often. Checking its Wikipedia page, the review scores indicate a good but not spectacular game. Does it have a cult following? Are the reviews shit?
I remember playing the first game, The Masquerade. It was OK. Nice graphics for its time. Didn't finish it.
General madness, but the best parts are when a game goes on sale for a ridiculously great price, people buy it, and then it goes on sale again for an even more ridiculous price and people start acting like babies because Steam won't price match.rogue74 said:
Also, a lot of people probably have giant backlogs because they bought a few of the package deals. The THQ package is typically a popular one if you don't have most of the games. I have more than a few games I'll likely never play thanks to the Eidos pack.
Zachack said:
Obsidian? So sort of like KOTOR 2? I've heard the story of that game but never played it. Well, the game looks interesting to me. I might bite if I see it on sale.
I am going to have a backlog nightmare. Picked up Risen the other day just because. Haven't tried it yet. Ditto for Titan Quest and Tales of Monkey Island pack. Having a blast with Company of Heroes, which I also bought on impulse when it went on sale a few weeks ago.
I'm so glad I got back into PC gaming after a 4 year hiatus.
Yes. I can think of a few examples (details may be slightly off):rogue74 said:
During last year's Xmas sale Torchlight was normally $13 (33% off). Then it got daily dealed to $10. Then it went back to $13. Then later it dropped to $5. Then $13. Then $5 again on the last day (I think this was the pattern).
The GTA sale earlier this year had various games being randomly put on sale for very brief times (couple hours) and in random package deals, so if you wanted a couple of the games you had to wait for the right sale and hope it was better than a previous sale which may have included the games you wanted (and more) for the same price.
Various items in the packages will go on sale. Rule of thumb is to not buy any packages until the last day.
Alternatively you can behave like a rational adult and simply buy games when they reach a price you feel willing to pay and not get into a tizzy over thinking you might save an extra couple bucks if you wait it out. But where's the fun in that!

Troika actually, but IIRC there is/was a fair amount of staff from Troika at Obsidian.
EDIT: wikipedia lists a few, including Brian Mitsoda

IIRC, EAs DD service lets you download your purchase once, and it's all on you to make sure you backup that installer yourself, or you have to rebuy the title again.
ie utter shit.
Unless they've changed it.
