The Steam launch trailer shows a kid using a 360 pad to play, so I don't think you're DOA without a stick.
I insta-bought it when the sale started 'cause I wasn't sure if it was a price error or not. Cripes, the game just launched today at $5. That has to be one of the best deals of the whole sale event.

I've actually been waiting to pick up some of those classic Ubisoft games on Steam, Brothers in Arms, Beyond Good and Evil, maybe even PoP, but I haven't seen them on a good discount in a while.

Are we going through the alpaca phase again?
Im a bit busy at the moment. This is the Alpaca file I use on all avatars. I might make some Alpacatars later or tomorrow depending how I feel later on.
pls?
I got the first two Brother in Arms for 75% off back in...2012, I guess? It's weird that some games don't have consistent discount; I remember that Vampire: Bloodlines game didn't have any discount for several sales, and then in a short time-frame we got several 75% off event.

Modbot is beginning to take games to gain a better understanding of human society.
So, this is its next step towards achieving full sentience.
I'm creating a list of games I will possibly give away. I went through Steam sales and grabbed a bunch of games that were released this year, sell for cheap even without a daily (over 50% off), and are rated highly by users.
From this list, either eliminate a game you think no one would possibly want in a giveaway or add one that they would.
The game you might suggest needs to have been released in 2014 and must be under $10.
And yes, I know, wait for the dailies. I haven't bought anything from this list yet.
The Desolate Hope
eXceed Jade Penetrate Black Package
Onikira - Demon Killer
Lovely Planet
Crimzon Clover
BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger
One Way Heroics
Lili: Child of Geos
100% Orange Juice
Tower of Guns
Our Darker Purpose
The Fall
Hexcells

Hold on, what's that about?
I just posted my first-ever giveaway on this thread, didn't use any special settings, did I mess something up?

While I'd like a sale for BBCT, nobody should buy that unless they want it in their steam library for some unknown purpose. Now that BBCS2E is out, there's no reason for anyone to buy BBCT unless they're collecting the series. BBCS2E is newer, has more characters, has a recap of the BBCT story mode, has abyss mode, has online play, etc.
Strike that from the list.
I approve of most of the rest though.

Finished my exams, time to enjoy the break and steam sale!
No, I didn't use THREAD - I just saw it in the instructions and was wondering if I should use it if I make another giveaway in the sales thread. But you're saying sales thread is now somehow primary, does that mean I should have used THREAD for the giveaway on this thread?damn, you even used the THREAD function. no problems with your great stuff sir!
*confus*
yeah and it was a good giveaway, I was more mentioning it for others who might see it, they need to remember to direct it here during the sale

I didn't participate in this giveaway but I'm not gonna lie, I'm genuinely upset that more people would rather have lame ass FF13.

DLGamer has the latest Transformers game for 18 bucks. Supposed to be terrible but I know some collectors have voiced concerns on whether Transformers will be Activision's "drop it like its' hot" license this year.

no. modbot just could need a bit more time editing the winners.
i forgot to add it and it still works fine.
it's cool man. sorry for making you confused, hah.
I suspect they will drift lower over the sale but they are already about at the point where booster pack value supports, so it may not change a whole lot. I wouldn't really expect them to get higher though other than just normal variation across the day.
Thank you
but the game is immensely satisfying (IGN review)

.
I don't think Activision willl drop Transformers or Amazing Spider-Man licenses any time soon.
Now things like Korra, Family Guy, Fast and Furious, Walking Dead, Ice Age... those are the most likely to get dropped.

Still no sale on Cladun. What are the odds of it being a daily?0
Makes me wish I bought this before Mother Russia got locked down. Such a dope...
If true, would love to snatch me up a copy from a 4-pack of The Banner Saga from a certain region.

More disappointing is the level of discount on the SE3 season pass. Game's 50% off, season pass is like 33%.
Seems like they've been studying the Bethesda model of business. :\
Forcing us to buy the GOTY edition because the DLC sale prices are more expensive? Shot.

Well, I now have Metal Gear Rising. I've heard great things (and like Platinum games in general) so I have high hopes for it.
I also got E.Y.E, which I've, er, had my eye on for a while, along with a ton of Rocksmith DLC.
I'm still annoyed that the Rocksmith Disk Import Tool isn't on sale, but I guess I can wait for Rocksmith + Disk Import Tool + to be cheaper in the future (hopefully, I'm not too keen to spend $17 bucks on two things I already own on a console, just for the couple songs I want out of it).
