At least you have an eight hour gap between flash sales.

Yup, time it correctly and you can sleep close to 16 hours!

 

[Blue Ninja]

First rule of Steam sales: You can never go to bed until they're over.

I thought the first rule of Steam sales was "don't ask when the sales begin".

 

[fantomena]

Hoping for a good deal on Deadly Premonition and maybe Sir, Hunt long name.

 

[kulapik]

Skyrim is 4,50€ in GameFly but it's UK only and I can't have a Paypal account ;_;

 

[Turfster]

I thought the first rule of Steam sales was "don't ask when the sales begin".

There are about 15 first rules of Steam sales.

Gamefly got you

75% off + 20% off
$5.99
GFDNOV20
http://digital.gamefly.com/#!/download-dishonored/5004504

They have the DLC for sale too

edit: Dishonored GOTY $10.87 with the code
http://digital.gamefly.com/#!/download-dishonored-game-of-the-year-edition/5006845

I was going to see how much it would cost with the code in £. But I forgot that GameFly doesn't want me to buy Bethesda games

At least you have an eight hour gap between flash sales. That GOG Insomnia sale was just crazy. 105+ games with limited numbers available to whoever grabbed them first, interspersed with free giveaways of less than 50 copies of random games on sale that would get snatched in less than a second. I would catch quick naps during the slow parts when games no one wanted came up for sale.

I have bad news. The Green Man Gaming sale will be starting soon and the deals will be changing every four hours:

Get more action through 4-Play this weekend at Green Man Gaming! We're going to have an intense series of incredible deals, with 4 new deals going up on the site every 4 hours for the next 4 days.

 

[PandaPedinte]

There are about 15 first rules of Steam sales.

And they're all listed in the OP.

 

[Seanspeed]

Heads up on some sweet non-Steam deals:

Amazon has

Max Payne 3+ LA Noire for $7.99.

Bully + Manhunt for $4.99

And Far Cry 3 for $7.49

 

[wetflame]

Steam sales just make me sit here wondering if I should buy games I already own on consoles. Need to focus on that sweet indie gaming goodness.

 

[Blue Ninja]

There are about 15 first rules of Steam sales.

I think you just broke another one by saying that.

 

[DukeBobby]

Hoping for a good deal on Shadow Warrior during the sale.

TotalBiscuit's 'WTF is...' sold me on it.

 

[Dr Dogg]

There are about 15 first rules of Steam sales.

The first rule of Steam Thread: Read the rules of Steam Thread.

Though in that case we've all probably failed miserably at some point.

 

[JaseC]

TGE?

The Gast Eurdian.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Its was supposed to be "the". I hate virtual keyboards in smartphones.

The Gast Eurdian.

LOL I was lost as hell when I saw TGE thought it was some steam abbreviation that I missed.

 

[cyberheater]

Yeah same. I just find that the 360 controller fits into my hand so much better.

I've got a PS3 and a Xbox 360. The 360 pad is godly and I'm so glad it became the de facto standard in PC gaming.

 

[Mengy]

I'm going to be controversial here and say i think its better than Civilization. It's not as complex but i think it prefer it.

It's not better than Civ V, but it's a great game and different in it's own right. Warlock is much more of a tactical battle game than a true civilization building game, but it has elements of both and resembles Civ quite a bit. I love the game honestly, and many people enjoy it more than Civ V just because it's a "simpler" game, meaning it's easier to play and understand. It certainly is well done, and I'll probably be buying the sequel unless they really mess up their own formula.

I hope the sequel takes more along the Master of Magic route but in a modern Civ V shell, that would be Godly. It's kind of leaning that way already, which is probably why I liked it so much.

 

[Divius]

Hmm, Anomaly Warzone Earth is actually pretty fun. It's like reversed tower defense.

 

[Kaleinc]

I thought the first rule of Steam sales was "don't ask when the sales begin".

I thought it was 'resist the sales, don't buy a thing'

 

[Ryne]

Think I'll crack on Enslaved. 10 bucks just seems worth it.

 

[PandaPedinte]

The Gast Eurdian.

Awesome new IP PC exclusive.

LOL I was lost as hell when I saw TGE thought it was some steam abbreviation that I missed.

Lol

 

[Cosmic Schwung]

UK code is GFDNOV20UK. Should bring Dishonored down to £3. Skyrim as well.

 

[Nbz]

Just bought Sideway New York and noticed that the frame rate is pretty nasty. Is it hard locked to 30 or something?

 

[Turfster]

The PC port for Sideway is pretty bad.
It crashed quite a lot when I bought it during one of the previous sales, and it had some graphical glitches.

 

[Arthea]

I thought it was 'resist the sales, don't buy a thing'

That's other way around: "resistance is futile*

 

[derExperte]

Just bought Sideway New York and noticed that the frame rate is pretty nasty. Is it hard locked to 30 or something?

The demo ran so laggy that I never bothered with the full game. Too bad, it looked interesting but that's about it going by reviews.

I missed Wing Commander 4 all the time it went on sale - stupid work and stupid sleep!

 

[Deques]

UK code is GFDNOV20UK. Should bring Dishonored down to £3. Skyrim as well.

The UK site doesn't let me buy Bethesda games anyway, since I don't live in UK

 

[TheContact]

ah no way to vote that kinda sucks i liked doing that

 

[drizzle]

Why isn't there an Amazon thread this year?

cause all of their stuff on sale is the same stuff that has been on sale all of last year

Ha, is this the year where everybody complains about the amazon sale, since they already bought everything last year, like it happened to Steam last year?

 

[Vargavinter]

If i buy a Origin code for C&C the Ultimate collection on US Amazon, will i be able to redeem it on my EU Origin-account?

 

[fantomena]

If i buy a Origin code for C&C the Ultimate collection on US Amazon, will i be able to redeem it on my EU Origin-account?

Yep. It did at least work for me.

 

[drizzle]

Origin is not region locked, so yes.

In some cases, It'll even ask you what region was that key from, so you'll get the correct region files.

 

[PandaPedinte]

So true.

Is this region lock?

Yes, they blocked me from buying Dishonored here in Australia.. *Francis mode* "Sons of bitches.."

 

[Vargavinter]

Yep. It did at least work for me.

Origin is not region locked, so yes.

In some cases, It'll even ask you what region was that key from, so you'll get the correct region files.

Nice! I wonder if any of them have working MP.

 

[Boss Doggie]

It's no Master of Magic (but what is?)

The latest expansion isn't bad, it just didn't turn out like I hoped. Galciv 3 will probably turn out better.

I thought it'd be nice. At least, as an alternative 4X... right?

it's on sale!
http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-FELH/fa...gendary-heroes

I played some, not much, it's good, looks nice too and I like legendary heroes. I have problem with replenishing mana though, but I think that gets better later on.

That's the cheapest it can get I take it?

Also despite being Stardock, the game there activates in Steam yes?

 

[Higgins113]

Fable TLC is €2.49

 

[r3n4ud]

Bored? Here's something to ease the pain of no new deals for five more hours.

Wow! Nice one der. I'll try my luck

 

[Prime crotch]

I don't even remember if I ever posted on the steam threads but hey modbot away

 

[Vargavinter]

Oh, I see there are some Ubisoft/Uplay games at US Amazon aswell, do they work to redeem on a EU Uplay account? Or are they region bound?

 

[Cosmic Schwung]

The UK site doesn't let me buy Bethesda games anyway, since I don't live in UK

Ah, right. If there's something you're really wanting, I can help you out.

It is nice!

I think it's safe to assume that's cheapest it can get for some time.
Yes, activates on steam.

 

[Freezard]

Why is Might & Magic Heroes VI: Complete Edition Uplay and not Steam? It's only $10 for God's sake!

 

[Turfster]

Why is Might & Magic Heroes VI: Complete Edition Uplay and not Steam? It's only $10 for God's sake!

Because Ubisoft.

 

[Boss Doggie]

It is nice!

Yes, activates on steam.

Yeah, seems like it.

So.. Fallen Enchantress vs Fallen Enchantress Legendary Heroes

which is better?

 

[JaseC]

Why is Might & Magic Heroes VI: Complete Edition Uplay and not Steam? It's only $10 for God's sake!

The game was developed by third parties, to which Ubi typically leaves the matter of DRM, but M&M is an Ubi IP, so the situation is a bit different. See also: Syndicate requiring Origin despite being developed by Starbreeze.

 

[Arthea]

Yeah, seems like it.

So.. Fallen Enchantress vs Fallen Enchantress Legendary Heroes

which is better?

Legendary heroes, don't even think otherwise!

Why is Might & Magic Heroes VI: Complete Edition Uplay and not Steam? It's only $10 for God's sake!

I have vanilla on steam, reluctant to play it because of Uplay, I should have waited for complete edition, oh well...
