Ok I have to ask. What the hell is The Ship?

A game where you murder and try to stay unmurdered on a ship while being secretive, without witnesses.

 

[Revoh]

Ooh and you can do the Audiosurf achievement and maybe win another game that you can get an achievement for that may net you another game you can do an achievement for.

I see what you did there.

 

[Sysgen]

So I got a gift called Shadowgrounds and Shadowgrounds Survivor... is it a good game?

Yea they're great till you fail at an end boss and the game sends you back to the beginning of the level.

Wow. That sounds interesting. Why have I not heard of this game?

 

[Chavelo]

Skyrim for 5 bucks

BELIEVE

Now you're just asking for trouble, buddy.

Steam sales are the worst when you already own everything you want.

 

[Dog Problems]

I'm annoyed that Big Fish Games doesn't have any of their games on sale.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Bahahaha.

I would literally dunk my head in a pee soaked toilet if that happened anywhere close to this sale this year.

So I'm confident my head wont be in any pee water anytime soon.

Spoiler

oh, and I'd buy the SHIT out of that.

I'm going to demand pics when the pricing error happens.

Same thought here.

You just think you own everything you want. You'll break.

 

[Mikeside]

there's an indy developer making something very similar called SpyParty - also looks great, you should check that out too

 

[MNC]

Hey guys, I bought Witcher 1 yesterday but then later won Witcher 2. Should I keep both or trade away Witcher 1 and just play 2?

Just give witcher 2 to me and everything will be fine.

The Ship is basically Team Fortress 2 Spy - The Game.

I just might. So if this comes true and everyone who owns it gets a copy or two to gift I would certainly not mind if someone tossed a copy my way.

whoa whoa whoa!

Who said anything about a pricing error!? lmfao. thats not right..

 

[Mikeside]

Same, I'd love to grab a copy if it comes along - hopefully I'll have something cool to trade from the cheevos by then

 

[wilflare]

hmm. are those publisher packs actually worth it?
-looks at the kalypso pack-

 

[Rocket Scientist]

Even with all these sales, Skyrim is still dominating. Crazy numbers from Skyrim or lackluster sale sales?

 

[Shambles]

Anyone else having trouble processing a transaction? Steam won't take my money Using Mastercard through the website.

 

[Mikeside]

I know you're reading this post, Gabe - you know what to do.

 

[Red Blaster]

Better be some nice deals today, the prices so far have been lulz. Witcher 2 for the same price as the Fall sale lololololol. I take solace in the fact I wasn't shamed for buying it then.

 

[Herla]

Wow. That sounds interesting. Why have I not heard of this game?

Because, sadly, no one plays it anymore. Hell, the servers were pretty empty even at launch...a shame.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Wow. That's sad to hear. It really sounds interesting. Hell I'd never heard of it so odds are nobody else knows about it either. That's probably why.

 

[MacGurcules]

Even with all these sales, Skyrim is still dominating. Crazy numbers from Skyrim or lackluster sale sales?

Well, reportedly, the charts take into account total revenue. So with that in mind, there are at least six Half-Life collections being sold for every copy of Skyrim.

But still, Skyrim is just a beast. It's been near the top of the list since release and it's sticking there in the face of SALEPOCALYPSE 2011, so it'd be silly to put it on sale for anything but a pittance less than full price. They haven't nearly extracted the full value of the thing at the $60 price point, yet.

 

[inky]

They never release numbers, so who knows? My guess is that top spot gets ~5k-10k copies sold per day during sales. Maybe I'm way off. (also, list is generated by revenue, not units, so it still being $60 helps a lot).

 

[legacyzero]

I know you're reading this post, Gabe - you know what to do.

I would gladly take one for team GAF if Gabe gave it to us for $5 for a day.

The gloves are off, BASED GABE!!

Aha, interesting. And yes, there's really no need for a sale right now on the game. If Steam has Easter sales, they could rock that one with a 33 - 50% I guess.

 

[Shambles]

Ended up downloading and installing the steam client on my work machine. It still isn't letting me process a transaction. Well, i tried to buy psychonauts, you can't blame me.

Crazy numbers from Skyrim. The game shattered Steam records like most concurrent users playing and fastest selling steam game and it's still going apparently. It's an unstoppable force.

I'd laugh my ass off if Gabe really was reading this and did that.

 

[darkcaim23]

I was looking at my wish list and saw Alice at 50% off. Maybe it was like this since the start of the sale though.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Wow. That's sad to hear. It really sounds interesting. Hell I'd never heard of it so odds are nobody else knows about it either. That's probably why.

It's partly that but also partly because it's much slower paced than many multiplayer games. It requires strategy and patience instead of being an orgy of violence like most games. My fiancee enjoyed it but she was forced to play aginst bots because nobody else played.

 

[scy]

Skyrim for 50 bucks

BELIEVE

fixed~

 

[SDBurton]

It was, I'm planning on waiting to see if it gets any better than that.

Can you work paypal? Ask if someone will gift it here, or try the equal distribution thread where people check up regularly to help =)

[CrashPrime]

Fingers crossed for deeper discount on SFIV:AE + DLC. Capcom always gotta be so damn stingy durring big sales.

 

[TimmiT]

Most of EA's games are 50% off, it's just part of the sale.

I wonder if any of Capcom's games will be a daily deal, considering the deals for their games actually aren't bad at the moment.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Am I right in thinking that there are a limited amounts of achievement gifts and that the faster I get an achievement, the higher the chance is that I get a gift instead of a coal?

 

[Chavelo]

Ah, the Capcom on Steam cycle is back on this thread.

:3

 

[Ifrit]

I'll skip DNF for the time being, I'm pretty sure it will show up during a future sale and maybe even cheaper

Fingers crossed for deeper discount on SFIV:AE + DLC. Capcom always gotta be so damn stingy durring big sales.

Agreed

 

[fokkusu]

Bought so far:

Psychonauts
Lego Batman

My wallet is ready.

 

[Toma]

I guess not. I suppose its completely random from the list of items possible with a 50% chance of coal or something.

Hey, it's happened before!

Spoiler

by mistake

 

[MatthewB92]

Day 3 is almost here I can smell the F5ing from here!

 

[1-D_FTW]

I was tempted by DNF, but watching that video review on Gametrailers was pretty awful. I'm not even sure I made it all the way through the review.

 

[MacGurcules]

Doubt it. In fact, I got coal for the achievements I got faster. Still anecdotal, but there you go. The official rules state a 1:3 split on prizes to coal. Prizes include shitty coupons, though and there's no indication on coupons:games.

That and only local co-op sucks. I'd play those games a ton more if they had online co-op!
