If you're thinking about Euro Truck Sim.. go for it. I have over hundred hours in it, and still going strong. It's so damn awesome. One of the best deals ever.

Is there any post or site that puts together all the sales from all the websites? Amazon, Steam, GMG, GameFly, maybe GameStop and GamersGate as well. Just too much to follow.

maybe tomorrow it rains
Did anyone buy Contagion?

I'm waiting for it to leave early access. It looks like it has a lot of potential, but I don't want to play it in the current state.

Did they ever fix the issues with State of Decay? Mainly the crushed blacks.

So much to buy today, I'm entered the sale phase when you begin worrying about it. State of Decay, one dlc for Dishonored, Counter Strike because why not, Van Helsing... and Lego Marvel on Amazon... uguu...
Tonight plan is pretty clear, take my sweet ass time to click buy because it's always best when you wait for it, read gaf, play Lego Marvel, and finish the night with the end of Gone Home.

Anniversary night...

PS. And if it all goes according to keikaku, tomorrow will be Legend of Dungeons, thank again Woo !
 
Really glad I picked up Trials Evolution Gold Edition. Aside from some occasional stutter, the game is really fun.

Also, not a Steam deal, but I couldn't refuse BF4 for $20 on Origin D:

Oooohhhhh baby, so jealous. Thinkin' about getting some carne asada fries or heading to the diner next door, but that Chinese food looks good, too. Good choice in beer, btw.

Anybody ever use GetGames.com? They have FFVII for $3 there and I'm thinkin' about it, but I've never heard of the site before.

I kinda want State of Decay, but I've only got like 26 bucks left in my Steam wallet and I haven't bought Spelunky yet.

As far as Spelunky goes, how different is it from the free version that's out there?
 
If someone buys the Don't Starve 2-pack for 7 dollars and wants to sell the code for the second game, please let me know as Steam doesn't accept my card and I have no way of buying a steam prepaid card right now.

Please let me know :(

oh also, I was super close to getting that zelda 3ds xl bundle when I was out but then I realized the gravity of having so many games on my steam account and my basically untouched ps3.

plus I didn't want to be like that traitor salsa

happy gaming friends.

derek yu said something about wanting to give it a "nintendo level of polish" I think he achieved that result.

I say wait on State of Decay, these devs are just gonna DLC factory the game. Also 50% off is barely anything. Wait for 75% for both the game and DLC.
 
If Dreamfall and the Longest Journey are currently not discounted at all is it safe to they won't end up in a daily or flash deal? Been waiting on the pair of them to go on sale forever. Does anyone recollect last time they were on sale?

They always go on sale. If its not on sale during the autumn sale then it will be during the Xmas/Winter sale (or summer sale for us below)

aside from the visuals and ost :
-the game is harder, merchants are more easily pissed off for example
-local coop and local deathmatch
-leaderboards and the daily challenge mode
-new items and enemies
-you can choose different characters to play (it's just a skin)
-hidden "true" ending (a bit in the same way than cave story, you can miss this ending but the game won't tell you explicitly face that it's not the true one)

also you can mod some of the assets in the hd version but i don't know if you could in the freeware too

Not saying you are wrong (cause you probably aren't) but what makes you think that about the dlc?

Game looks awesome, but I don't want another dungeon defenders dlc situation. They were just ridiculous with that shit. :p

Yeah, I'm waiting for a sale on Dreamfall too. I'm surprised it doesn't at least have a normal discount.

so what's your feelings on this Contagion argument in the steam forums, I just bought it as for £2.99 you can not really go wrong...

However I see a lot of users are unhappy at the big drop in price a month after release...

The Dev is saying Steam are responsible for what is on sale? is that correct as I would of though you would have to ok the sale as the developer?

bish gets all the credit :)
Devs/pubs set the prices. They may have given them a nice spot on the homepage if they dropped that low, though.

It's 100% the decision of the publisher or developer how cheap a game will be. See Capcom. Or the leaked letter. Valve only decides what games will show up as daily/flash deals.

Dark Souls PC version worth getting? 6 bucks is quite tempting and I have a 360 controller but I don't remember which version was considered better/worse.

The PC version, along with DSfix thanks to Durante, is worth it. It uses GFWL unfortunately but otherwise it's the best version of the game.
