Yeah, but as That Dog said, this game has been on sale constantly. Was truely a bad decision to buy it at full price. Luckily it's an awesome game, worth 30 bucks.

Don't know where we can find out the exact number, but that game has been on sale for a lot of times since it came out, and not just on Steam.
HE SHOULD FEEL BAD. VERY BAD.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
You'll hit a price floor eventually though.

Grabbed it, thanks.
My rule for PC games: if it's more than a few months old, don't buy for more than $10-$15.

On the other hand it was a pretty darn good game even if it did fizzle a little in the second half. Paying a high price for something that is crap is much more of a problem.
I started Alicia with low expectations and these first two hours i just loving the game...the art is great
It is definitely one of those games you will really enjoy if you go into it expecting it to be bad. The art is fantastic.

Definitely. I really lost interest in Botanicula once I made it to the city. Gotta go back to it soon.

Shared religion doesn't seem to make a lick of difference in how other Civs interact with you. I started up a game as Sweden and watched as Alexander wipe Siam out and lay the boots to Korea. Greece focused so much on expansion and military that it didn't found a pantheon until well after the middle ages. My brand of Shintoism basically dominates the entire continent. My empire and army are half his size, I've been expecting invasion for a while now given the constant stream of insults and hostility.
Also not being able to peaceably throw out the religious emissaries from another Civ is fucking annoying. You just have this rogue unit careening around your empire and you can't do anything but try to wall it off with units. You can spend faith currency after the fact to create an Inquisitor and remove heresy from your city but you can't do anything proactively that doesn't result in war. Who thought this was a good idea? You can't even get rid of the emissary if you close your borders to the Civ of origin.

Agreed, it's a great game. I was mostly jesting. Also, I'm one to talk since I bought it at full price to take advantage of the TF2 promo items.

I was gonna work on my backlog once I finished Binding of Isaac, but I started playing 17 hours of Far Cry 2 instead. Causing wacky chain reactions from fire propagation caused by a flare gun is something pretty unique to it.

Pretty sure I purchased this in a steam sale a few years ago where the price was briefly a mistake. So no I didn't wait till the daily deal!
Currently at 6 minutes played.
Thought it was pretty shitty but then again I don't like jrpgs anymore. I will agree with everyone in that the performance of the PC version is top notch.

Last Remnant is a good game on the PC. I think you have to force v-sync through your drivers though, IIRC it doesn't have an option in-game and the tearing was horrendous.
My first play on The Last Remnant was horrible. Played it 3 years ago, finished the opening battle tutorial, went to town, stocked up on items & storyline, went to first mission & was completely destroyed by a giant flying boss type hovering over a bridge. 7 hours played. Stopped playing it since then.
Heh, reminds me of the only time I played Baldur's Gate 1... I spent a good while going around the first town. Exactly 30sec after getting out of the town I got completly destroyed by a bear... Never booted the game since lol.

TLR combat system scares the shit out of me, so I have never really tried it out of the demo even though I bought it that one time it was on sale. One day though, I'll grow a pair ind play through it.
Every time I see it on sale I always think about buying it but never do, so I think I will take your recommendation.

Watch it be 5 bucks in less than a week.
I made a New Year's Resolution to not buy any new games for the whole year (due to an obscene backlog).
But I've wanted this game for a long time now, and this is pretty much the price point I've been waiting for.
Damn it all.
At least it was a bear. If memory serves, that flying griffin dragon thing on the first mission out of town was 4~5 times bigger than Skyrim's dragons.
"Oh, a new player fresh out of tutorial. Let me get in your way by staying on top of the only bridge to your objective."
I was griefed hard in this game.
"Let me destroy Team 2 in 2 turns while the rest of you position yourself, hmm."
"Was that a combo hit? Didn't notice as it was only 300 damage to my 10,000 life, bitch!"
"Ok, go heal yourself while I rape Team 3."
The Last Remnant is 30 bucks on Steam.
The "Summer Sale Rule" says that 75% is a good bet on daily deals. At 75% off it'll be 7,50.
It's 7,50 now on GamersGate and it's Steam registerable.
Also, it's price dropped recently.
It's getting hard to find a reason not to buy this one, you guyse...
Edit: Hmm, Square Enix usually does nice sales...
Oh you know what, fuck it. Bought.

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
If you're wrong...there will be hell to pay sir.
I like it, but its a game that might not appeal to everybody. It's a proper JRPG, and better than FF13.

If you're talking about The Last Remnant, it very rarely goes on sale. Not sure how long it'd take to reach $5.
Also, it's really hard to be pissed at a 2,50 price disparity.
15 bucks on the other hand...

It'll only take a week to reach it!
Mmm The Last Remnant is steamworks? wao..this is news for me I think I'll buy it, and more because i have the IGN Prime (bug) discount of aditional 15%

Not Steamworks, just Steam-friendly.
Edit:
Nothing better than an arbitrary delay!

Yea that kinda annoyed me as well. Ah well it was just 10 minutes.
You can delve deeper that answer?
The game has no Steamworks features, but its keys can be activated on Steam.
But that is a Steamworks feature!
But not a feature exclusive to Steamworks titles -- e.g. Prey is another pre-Steamworks title that can be registered on Steam.

It's Pre-Steamworks.
Square was one of the early adopters of the Steam platform, along with Ubisoft and Capcom, ironically.

Activating keys is just Steam compatibility, not necessarily Steamworks.

So it's pretty much certain the Summer Sale starts tomorrow? Will there be a new topic for it?
No, and yes.

The Last Remnant is probably one of the better JRPGs this gen. It's a fucking blast. Everyone buy it.
PC version is the way to go, too. It's godly and vastly superior in every way compared to the 360 version.
