People called Romanes they go the house?
Yeah, I was looking to see if the season pass is ever going to get back down to 15 bucks after that one GMG sale way back when.
Seems like it won't happen.

How come the SR4 season pass dropped MSRP from $20 to $10? Did they bail out on the idea of upcoming expansions for the game or something besides Enter the Dominatrix? Seems like if they're still going to do another expansion it's worth paying $1 more for the season pass over Dominatrix, unless there won't be another one.

I know this is a Steam thread, but just a heads up as this is a very good deal for a great game.
https://www.origin.com/en-gb/store/...-download/base-game/standard-edition-ANW.html
£1.00 for BC2 (SAVE 94%).

This is happening all over the store. Pretty insidious and obviously coordinated / suggested by Valve.

Thanks, I guess I'll wait a little longer. Hopefully it goes on sale because a horror open world game is like a dream game for me.
I just tried to buy Dead Island Riptide but it seems the store is pretty backed up at the moment. Will buy it a little later.
Dishonored if you're not expecting a particularly great stealth game (it shines as an action game, though).
Edit: Enter this raffle. You've got a minute.
Edit edit: Fixed link. Too late now though, sorry.
I've never heard of the game described as janky, it is a very small indie team though. I believe only a couple of devs working on it.
As for the Early Access
120$ that would have been how much any other time?

listen to the mad man
"Is <xyz> going to be a daily deal?"
Valve selects a range of stuff to be the daily deal. They typically include a handful of larger, mega-publisher games, a handful of quirky PC mid-tier publisher games, and a handful of independent games. Now that early access is a thing, they're going to include the scattered early access game. In general the games featured as daily deals and flash deals are willing to discount at least 50%. In general Valve is picking games that people would be interested in, so high popularity games or games they think have a certain level of breakout potential. Most of the games they choose review well, although not all. Games that are part of a daily deal typically show up as daily deals in subsequent sales (and publishers who participate typically participate again later). In general I would guess that if Amazon or GMG or whatever have significantly better deals than the Steam sale discount, there's at least some possibility of it being a subsequent daily deal.
There are exactly two ways you can be sure that something won't be a daily deal:
- When the dev explicitly says there won't be a daily deal
- When a game is obviously abandoned, not on sale at all, and either has a defunct publisher or a publisher who has never shown any interest in Steam at all at any point in time. (IE The Doctor Who Adventures, currently on 0% discount, aren't magically going to be a daily deal)
Now there is no reason to ask whether or not something is going to be a daily deal.

This.....I have not had any loading problems via mobile app.
The only piece of DLC is the Goblin Menace DLC. I *think* Story upgrade is just the Goblin Menace DLC and the other stuff was just rolled in as a patch for everyone who had the game.

The sr4 season pass has always been $10. Its 2 dlc mission packs; enter the dominatrix and saints save Xmas. They haven't announced any expansion packs.
Well Steam is getting hammered after that pricing error from Dishonored that's why you see all those errors not only adding things to your cart.
PayPal somebody the $15 and have them
Edit: Or, uh, they could just, y'know, buy the game and give you the key. I should go to bed.

It's got that old fashioned PC jank, where it has a lot of systems at play and the animations and combat are reeeeeally rough looking. It doesn't go quite as far into the old school as I would have preferred, as it's pretty easy to settle into a routine of scavenging supplies and helping people, but there are random events that can keep you on your toes.

PayPal somebody the $15 and have them e-mail you a gift "card".

I had a good laugh when I saw the discount. Man, 17%?! Such a bizarre amount.
Thanks! Yeah I was just counting dlc mission packs as expansions in my eyes. Any word on the release date for Saints Save Xmas? Guessing it'll be out by xmas?

I am rather tempted to get Half Life 2 mainly because of how the game has more NPC interaction than 1.
If I buy this:
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/469/
Will I get an extra copy of Portal 1?

Probably the best way, if you have crazy bank fees for foreign currencies. Mentioned it a few time before, but you're better getting a credit card with 0% foreign currency fees, if you purchase in $$ quite frequently. Has worked very well for me, and I no longer get bank fees, or a BS rate from Paypal.
Not exactly, I just lie in bed staring at my framed one-sheet of The Lovely Bones.
(I actually do have a framed one-sheet of The Lovely Bones.)
