I can't help it. I'm cheap when it comes to games that I'm not sure if I'll like or not, plus it doesn't matter if it's indie or not
If it helps, I didn't buy Strider 2014 for $6.
It's for the best, really. They're youtube let's players with a focus on Minecraft, basically.
Still not as harrowing to listen to as pewdiepie, though.
Only 33% for Wasteland 2 when it was 50% off a few weeks ago. Nothing for me today. Also, buy Child of Light.
Consensus seems to be 'no'.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
To be as fair to them as possible, the situation is this:
1) A group of people who've never made a game before made a deal with Yogcast to make a game based on them.
2) That group of people went to Kickstarter to get funding for the game, funding that was not only necessary to make their super, super ambitious game but also to pay Yogcast to license their intellectual property.
3) That group of people who've never made a game, failed to make their super, super ambitious game. Yogcast chose not to refund or return the money they made off licensing.
That's a completely fair version of the situation, I think. Having said that:
It takes a massive pair of stonefruits to put your name on anything, even if for charity, after that fiasco. They've ruined their brand for people who aren't die-hards fans.
oh wow, gamersgate keeps delivering (><)
edited: PA really is 80% off! or is it price mistake

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything

Jigga you mad cuz you never won none of my giveaways.
Besides I stopped doing 24 hour raffles ages ago.
They're usually 3 or 12 hours now.
WAIT FOR TH- Oh who cares. You didn't listen.
I want legendary edition 75% off. I'll guess we have to wait for the summer sale, it won't happen this year.

Everyone buy Chaos Theory!
It seems to have achieved Flawed Gem status and gets frequent recommendations among Steam GAF.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
Grr, Alien is is 50% off but I have to buy a side mirror for my car. Boo.
Could beat it in a weekend. Such a good ride.

This is probably the best way to describe all those steam games we never know to buy.

Alien on your side mirror may be closer than it seems. Winter seal 75% off, believe.
This had got to be the worst bundle ever. Most of these games have been in bundles for much lower prices.
Also, aren't the yogfags the guys who promised us a certain game, and then gave us some other shit? One of my kickstarter regrets.

I don't really know what they are either, except some sort of podcast that seems to have gotten some faux celebrity status and then fucked people over with a kickstart for a game based on themselves?
Those drugs. Send me some.

So is this the last set of deals? Am I safe to buy anything else I want now that's not been a daily?
It's really short and is kinda simple and janky in the gameply department admittedly but in a year of broken and uninspired AAA releases it at least had some good ideas and was somewhat memorable to me, for me it's a no brainer at that price.

Possibly a price mistake in the opposite direction.

To my knowledge, Origin games are region free.
Frequently advised to buy through use of VPN to save some dosh.

Regarding that Yogsthing cast I found this video to be pretty on point (pun intended)

Chaos Theory definitely is, and Blacklist is... okay.
OG is too old and clunky, really.
Dunno about the others.
Turf why must you make me sad..
Yeah, I'm starting to think so to. Either that or they came into unexpected trouble and given the focus on PS4 Sony can't afford another DriveClub.
What can I say? I love rubbing salt on old wounds
I wonder if they'll start mentioning PC closer to the release that or if there will be a different release date for each platform.
60% off at getgamesgo.
I'm tempted to buy it, I really want the game, but at the rate the price isfp falling it will be 75% off at some point in January or even earlier.
Splinter Cell - The original, still holds up but shows its age.
Pandora Tomorrow - Not available on Steam, excellent game.
Chaos Theory - One of the best games of all time, pick it up.
Double Agent - This is an interesting one. Ubisoft funded two different versions of the same game. One developed by the Chaos Theory team for GC/PS2/Xbox, and one for PC/PS3/360. Guess which one is considered to be bad
PC/PS3/360 version
Conviction - Flat out no.
Blacklist- I haven't personally played it, but this seems to be a fairly servicible followup to some of the better games in the series.

Anyone noticed that this sale somehow the prices for games in keys are higher than what they cost in the store?
Almost all games I checked on steamtrades and TF2outpost were higher in keys than the shop price.

If you have mild game collectors OCD and can't buy one game from a bundle even if the others aren't as good then yes, the entire series is worth it.
