Best metagame

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

If the game was out right now with no impressions, you would buy it.

Since it's a pre-order and it might come out buggy, you won't buy it, even though it's discounted at 33% for today only, and It'll be 20% after for pre-orders and full price once it's released?

Your logic is weird.

I just got done with Arkham City

So Good.gif

It's a game of the generation caliber game for me. Not saying it would be #1 if I ever made a list, but probably top 5. Definitely top 10.

 

[Buttonbasher]

93.5 out of the total of 99 store pages are games for under 20 dollars. There's only four and a half pages of games over 20 dollars.

PC gaming during a Steam sale is wonderful.

Wait what?

I thought the PC release is a "complete" edition with all DLC and updated.

 

[Ezra2680]

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.

Did you misread FF8 as FF7? Didn't FF8 just come out?

That isn't the whole story. Looking at this Kerbal card, for ex., the average selling price went up by a mere ten cents between July 20th and July 22nd. The final average ended up being less than you could have gotten on day one or two. I think Skyrim is the only card out of the bunch where the ending spike beat the card's average price on day three. (So I guess, having actually looked at the graphs, I'll move to a definite "sell now".)

Having looked at the graphs again as well, I'm really inclined to agree with you. As supply increases over the sale, there just doesn't seem to be enough of a demand increase to keep the price up (even with the bump at the end).

Based on how demand did nothing but fall post-Summer Sale, my hypothesis is that the people buying up cards and driving up the price at the end were largely speculators.

Yeah, I was kind of getting at that with my original post, but wasn't really as sure about it. I still think that people were holding out a bit at the end to make their badges, but it was likely largely made up of speculators.

33% off is for 48 hours on both Steam and Amazon.

Wait what?

He is worried there will be resolution issues or framerate locks.

i think i will give some stuff away once i figure out how to use modbot

Get Rising. Wait for it to release in January and play it, for both of us!

Also, the Sale just started, I'm sure there will be something for you during these days.

Are you sure? He meant FF8 not 7. Haven't seen 8 on sale...

Edit. Ohh using coupons, NVM then...

 

[r3n4ud]

Man, I feel bad for the folks that picked up Tiny Thief a few days ago for $14.99. It's now 75% off, knocking it down to $4.50. Such a shitty move to 'trick' people buying it day one, not thinking it'll go on sale three days later.

For a mobile game, should have been released at the sale price anyways...

Buy something to The_Monk! Such an awesome GAFer and he truly deserves it.

 

[ashbash159]

Typing of the Dead and Metal Gear Rising for me today!

Voted for Dust because it's only £3 and I've heard it's good.

 

[drizzle]

33% off is for 48 hours on both Steam and Amazon.

Well, yeah. It's 33% off for the "Daily Deal" that lasts 48 hours.

You know what I meant.

yes this man is a smart one

You heard correctly.

I know, I was just putting it out there for others. Sale threads bring in many wide-eyed newcomers.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Did you misread FF8 as FF7? Didn't FF8 just come out?

GMG coupons have been working on ff8

 

[jshackles]

Did you misread FF8 as FF7? Didn't FF8 just come out?

Yes 8 just came out but like I said there have been coupons on GMG that have brought the price down 25% and even recently 30%.

 

[commanderpepper]

Sold all my steam trading cards and one pile of crates and I got $2.

 

[The_Monk]

I miss crafting coal. :-(

I remember those good old days! Crafting Coal was great indeed.

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

So what's the best thing to do? Idle those f2p games to get the respective cards and sell them, or forge them and hope that the item sells for more?

 

[Arthea]

lol
I think I bought Pinball Starwars dlc second time. Does steam let you do this? I'm not 100% sure I had it, but it kinda feels so.

I don't think there are many that bought it at that price and I applaud them for reacting to the complaints.

I came to GAF for impressions, only them I realised its a pre-order because I found none. I didn't go to the game page. I know, I'm stupid like that.

It's just that they said "any day now" and I thought today might be that day lol

 

[Eternia]

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.

It was 90% off during the last sale so it can get lower.

 

[Camel Master]

BIT.TRIP Collection 2013 is pretty nice for 9,27€. Six great games and soundtracks included.

Also you can gift the games if you already have some of those.

 

[Kinky John]

I've never seen trading cards sell this fast. Literally within 1 minute of putting up a snow globe card it sells.

You can craft the holiday badge an unlimited amount of times, so they're probably being hoovered up by those crazy triple-figure Steam level people.

 

[The_Monk]

So what's the best thing to do? Idle those f2p games to get the respective cards and sell them, or forge them and hope that the item sells for more?

I believe you need to purchase in-game-items in order for you to get Cards from F2P titles fellow GAFfer.

 

[r3n4ud]

That's one way to spin it

Let's hope the game stays at the sale price after the sale then.

 

[kutthoat5150]

that's almost 60 bucks in the console world, now go buy something

 

[Arthea]

Yes, I can confirm, Dust is really good, on of my GOTYs

 

[fantomena]

Everone should vote on Dust. Damn good game.

 

[Ezra2680]

Yes 8 just came out but like I said there have been coupons on GMG that have brought the price down 25% and even recently 30%.

Wow, must have missed these. Definitely would have bought at 30% off

 

[Intheflorsh]

If I wanted to try one Bit Trip game, what would be the one to get?

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

I believe you need to purchase in-game-items in order for you to get Cards from F2P titles fellow GAFfer.

If this is true, then this sale just got a lot more boring.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Wow... TotD much cheaper in Gamersgate.

Felt like a missed the boat :/

 

[derExperte]

I'm not sure if I'm understanding you wrong or you got something wrong. You don't get the sale cards you need to craft to get items by idling.

 

[rockx4]

Completely forgot about the steam sale. Nothing for me today, but I voted for Shadowrun.

 

[PBalfredo]

Damn, steam sale is starting off strong. Tempted by Arkham Origins, but that's a relatively large amount to drop right out of the game of what's going to be a lengthy steam sale.

There aren't even that many words in the OP, most of it is .gifs.

To answer your question, wait for the dailies. If that doesn't go on sale, buy it on the last day.

 

[GK86]

Monaco or Dust? Which one would you guys recommend?

 

[r3n4ud]

Can always wait for later. It'll be back in a flash sale I'm sure

 

[thefil]

Welp, spent $24 already on 7 games. Foolishly didn't check for bit trip pack before buying runner 2 standalone, spent another $3 to get the soundtrack and DLC. Spelunky guy!!!!!

You can let this thread die! You are a doctor, please do something, sir!

That is kind of crazy. So this price absolutely won't change until Jan. 2nd? My co-worker told me it gets nuts, but damn.

update:

now get off my back dust police


temps are the same btw. woo
