I feel like I should probably just get Alice since it's just one of those games that are always on sale for $5 and it's just scratching it off the list type of thing.

You can tell I'm a sales noob since buying a ton of cheap games is the instinct I have... I must learn from your mistakes :)

It has nothing to with being a noob and more with having like 2.5k games and only playing 1 anyway. Also buying every bundle and already owning 80% of it everyone was starting to bum me out

I'm going to petition Youtube to start removing videos where the uploader says "without further ado". Watching a let's play of someone whose first language isn't English say it was the last straw.

May you explain your gripe a bit further please?

Oh man guys. One Late Night: Deadline. Oof.

I'll have video up tomorrow. This game must be rendering everything ever because it brings my machine to it's knees.
 
I'd think about getting Mafia II but it annoys me that the Director's Cut version isn't available on PC here in the US as far as I know. It still isn't even complete because it didn't include the "Made Man" pack.

Its not rational, the phrase just really annoys me. It's overused, spreading like wildfire with Total Biscuit's commentary. Perhaps it's this association that bugs me rather than the phrase itself.
 
Are there any overwhelmingly negative review games on steam?

5 from what I can tell: Sacred 3, Uriels Chasm, Day One: Gary's Incident, Flatout 3, Airport Sim 2014.

Ordering by User review seems to reveal that I own an alarmingly large number on the last page.

I was thinking about those "regretful skips"... how much does the price typically rise when a game's daily/flash sale ends... Say if a game was -75% off, it doesn't go back to 0% off, right?

It doesn't go back to 0% because it usually wasn't 0% to begin with. The amount is a percentage so it depends greatly on the current price, but for example, Door Kickers was at 50% ($9.99) but right now it's still a great deal at 40% off ($11.99). So even if it doesn't go on encore, in theory $2 isn't much and shouldn't affect my decision. In practice? It sucks missing the deal.

It's sort of like how every time there's the daily vote some people that didn't 'win' go 'darn, I really wanted Luftrausers/whatever... even though ALL 3 games get a nice discount, just the winner gets a little bit extra.
For example, Luftrausers 'lost' but is still at 50% off. Had it won, it would have been 66% off, which is only about $1.60 cheaper... but for some reason some people avoid the 'losers' as if they're full price or something.

Please let it be Desktop Dungeons.

Great game.

it burns to have come so close

He should have just voted 'Magic the Gathering'.

I'm at work now and want to play NekoPara. Nothing much for me to do near New Years here too. I'm just swiping right for every girl on Tinder. I'm livin' on the edge!
 
I know the feeling, I wish I could be at home playing Sakura Spirit.

I plan on picking it up before the end of the sale (waiting to see if it goes any lower).

Judging from what I've read here and in the reviews (I saw a couple screengrabs you posted as well), it seems I'll be in for an... experience.

Alright, I spent the better part of twenty dollars securing the Tranformers games against any kind of Activision shenanigans.

I'll probably regret not picking up the Rise of the Dark Spark bundle for ~$20 on Newegg. I'm gambling that Activision won't pull it and it'll be lower priced sometime next year.

Best game I can get with about 2.50$? Was hoping spelunky would come back but seems I'm out of luck. The one game I really like to try out. Should have kept one of the four I gifted lol.

I do believe I'm getting the vapors.

I'm in a similar situation but with Kora, wasn't able to get it earlier in the sale and before that when, if memory serves, it was at -80%. They should at least do another deep discount before they remove it right? Right?...

According to some Russian traders, the 4-packs, 2-packs are not region locked. Is this true?

The reason I am asking is that I was looking for Minimum and see there are 4 copies for 2 keys

only the ones that haven't been locked before "The Purge"
(otherwise known as "The Gabening")
.... and only the remaining copies aren't region-locked, it still has to be unpacked in Russia
 
so Paradox's Facebook page just commented on one of my posts specifically to give one of my friends a Steam key for Cities in Motion, and basically


also I have no idea where else to post this. is there a community thread for paradox games or is it just CK2 and EU4 right now?
