How long is the Stanley Parable, on average? I recognize there's a lot of starting over but for 9 bucks am I getting roughly $1/hour of game out of it, at least?

I've played around 2 hours and I have over half of the endings, so maybe 3-4 hours?

 

[damaph]

lol I'm hoping for another sleeping dogs incident like last year, so good

What was the Sleeping Dogs incident?

 

[Chairmanchuck]

You guys might be able to grab some tables at a discount in a roundabout way. During major sales the price of TF2 keys on the community market usually dips to around $2 and they're already down to $2.11 as of this post. Using rash you can, for example, pick up the season one pro pack for 10 keys 4 ref, which should end up netting you nearly half off in discount when all is said and done.

I haven't used that myself as of yet, but regulars in the Steam thread have had success with it in the past.

Edit: nvm

 

[MMBosstones86]

Its possible they could be lower in a flash sale

I'm fairly certain that is/will be never the case

 

[Boss Doggie]

The only reason to buy in Steam is if the game isn't in sale in Amazon or if you want those card thingies.

 

[Yoshichan]

Aw, poor dude! What were you trying to buy, CS:GO?

Yes ._. Dunno why it's not accepting my credit card...

 

[kutthoat5150]

What was the Sleeping Dogs incident?

I think it was 90% off the game and all dlc. I picked up everything they had for like $7

 

[Pakkidis]

What are you selling them at?
This is important information =p

I was selling them close to market value according to the chart..maybe a few pennies under.

 

[SkeptiMism]

My first Steam sales (had a long break from PC gaming and before that I played WoW for a long time).

Bought a lot of games from the GoG sale so my wallet certainly isn't looking forward to this one.

From this sale I already bought:
Monaco
Dishonored
Metal Gear Rising (13,39 euros, geez)
The Stanley Parable

Was about to buy Dark Souls too but I'll be patient and wait for the dailies.

 

[Dr Dogg]

Bit.Trip games 90% off. Might have to stock up.

Oooooh nice. Just need .VOID and .CORE for the full set. Shame Runner2 is only at 83% off

Spoiler

I kid

The only reason to buy in Steam is if the game isn't in sale in Amazon or if you want those card thingies.

Is amazon still doing the $5 vouchers for select games in Jan as well?

Good man for the impeccable taste, purchasing some classics over on GOG, and for waiting on the dailies.

Missed out on the 75% Bioshock Infinite Season Pass price glitch. If anyone managed to snag a few extra copies, could you contact me on Steam for it?

 

[ratcliffja]

I'm tempted by Stanley Parable and maaaaybe Bioshock Infinite. How long is Stanley Parable?

 

[Yoshichan]

Bit.Trip games 90% off. Might have to stock up.

WOAH

 

[Faabulous]

Almost bought MGR, but then I realised it's a pre-order. Not falling for that, nope.

 

[CreepingFear]

Is Dishonored worth getting? It's not one of those ports that's broken i.e. locked at 30fps or anything, is it?

 

[derExperte]

How long is Stanley Parable?

Look up a few posts.

 

[Guy.brush]

How is MGR gameplay? What game can you compare it to?
The art direction certainly looks all over the place and not my taste.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

I'm tempted by Stanley Parable and maaaaybe Bioshock Infinite. How long is Stanley Parable?

About 10-15 minutes each session or even less. And has 32 endings.

I think if Arkham City and Arkham Asylum GOTY hit sub $5 each, this sale would be perfect for me. I missed the WB humble bundle because, no joke, my comp got fried by a freak power surge like the day before it happened and my phone at the time would not work with humble bundle checkout.

 

[Stimpack]

Is Dishonored worth getting? It's not one of those ports that's broken i.e. locked at 30fps or anything, is it?

It worked fine for me! Wasn't a shitty port at all.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

It's barely 3. Don't base things in time vs money. Base it on quality. It's different and interesting.

It's also competing with games that are three dollars, so I have to use some metric to decide which small indies to buy this season.

 

[Intheflorsh]

Is Dishonored worth getting? It's not one of those ports that's broken i.e. locked at 30fps or anything, is it?

It's a great port, and it is absolutely worth getting as it is my favorite game of the generation. Wait for the dailies, though.

 

[old manatee]

It's great port, feels like a proper pc game.

 

[CreepingFear]

For whatever reason, I had the idea that it was one of those crappy ports. I might have it confused with something else.

 

[Divius]

Oh sweet. Should I pick up 1 or 2?

 

[yoshizzle]

It is a daily

wut

Quality port. I enjoyed the game quite a bit as well.

I just got done with Arkham City

So Good.gif

Yeah I've missed tons of great games from the last few years especially. Will be heavy for wallet. And if I miss something I guess I'm not in that hurry anyway to play everything right away because of limited time.

 

[Boss Doggie]

What are the chances of FFVIII getting a discount

Is amazon still doing the $5 vouchers for select games in Jan as well?

Yep.

Almost bought MGR, but then I realised it's a pre-order. Not falling for that, nope.

Amazon is trust worthy, at least with regards to Steam.

 

[Yoshichan]

Aw, poor dude! What were you trying to buy, CS:GO?

My man! You gifted me CS: GO just now? THANK YOU!

I should still fix my credit card issues but man, you are awesome! Thanks again ♥!!!

 

[-Deimos]

Dailys always last 48 hours now. Its new deals in 24 hours, not these deals expire in 24 hours.

Dailies are larger on the front page for 24 hours, then you get another 24 hours in a smaller "yesterday's deal"

New deals every 24 hours, deals last 48 hours

The next daily will come in 24hrs, but each daily lasts 48 hrs.

Derp. Got it. I'll pick it up if it goes on a flash sale, still don't feel like it's worth $20.

Arkham Asylum is 4.99, Arkham City is 7.49. Both well worth the price.

 

[jaundicejuice]

Snatched up Metal Gear Rising, so that was good. Missed out on an apparent sale on the Bioshock Season Pass that was a mistake, now that's gone, so that's bad.

The only time which I will ever buy this DLC is when it's on sale. And Take 2 doesn't want to put it on sale.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Almost bought MGR, but then I realised it's a pre-order. Not falling for that, nope.

what does that even mean?

 

[CreepingFear]

Well fuck guys, I was hoping you'd tell me it was crappy and to save my money. Now, I have to get it I guess.

 

[Intheflorsh]

It is a daily

But it is a daily....

Well then, get it.

 

[yuraya]

OMG I hope the MGSV for PC rumors are true. The inside of my body cannot handle news like this. I will erupt.

 

[Kak.efes]

New to steam. Trine Complete is $4.99 at 80% off. It says the offer ends Jan. 2nd. Do I wait to see if it gets cheaper? Like, it's already 80% off.

 

[jshackles]

What are the chances of FFVIII getting a discount

Somewhat high since it's been on sale on GMG several times for 25%-30% off. Don't expect anything crazy like more than 33% off.

i have $180 in card bux and there's nothing i want :|

 

[Faabulous]

Not afraid they don't deliver, just that it's a broken pos on release. I've been burned one too many times.

 

[Nzyme32]

HEEEEEEEEELP T_T

This happens if there is a communication error or you leave mid-transaction or change details/conflicting details.

This has happened twice to me and both times I had to wait for 2 or 3 hours for a some sort of safety time to elapse, then everything worked fine again

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

I miss crafting coal. :-(
