So are people buying from other regions??

You can still as long as it's not from select regions (which include CIS territories, Russia and Brazil). UK, EURO1, EURO 2, US are all fine with each other IIRC.

I'm thinking of getting Prison Architect... any impressions on the game?

Ghostbusters: The Videogame
ENSLAVED: Odyssey to the West Premium Edition ROW
Metal Gear Rising
Devil May Cry 3 and 4 Bundle


Here is hoping Borderlands pre sequal drops to 75% at some point.

 

[TheSeks]

Someone explain Euro Truck Simulator to me.

You drive "lorries" as the UK call them. You listen to music while observing traffic laws.

It's basically a comfort game. Boot up, turn your mind off and just drive. Like, the anti-GTA of GTA.

Typically in the past other sites have had better deals on the Borderlands game than Steam itself and most of those sites this winter are only doing 50% off. Probably be next summer before it hits 75%, it's only a couple of months old.

I'm agonizing over Ground Zeros. If it was <10€ I'd already have bought it.

Of course, none of this makes sense, I don't think about 3.39€ when I spend them in "real life". But still.

 

[Gen.Grievous]

I like what they've done with the votes, you don't need to vote three times a day to be eligible for the trading cards. Makes it easier for people that work to get the rewards as well.

Wonder if Temple of Osiris will get discounted already. Reviews haven't been that great but I still would like to get it.

 

[spuckthew]

Don't buy Dark Souls 2 because you'll have to rebuy in 4 months when the new version comes out.

Holy shit good shout...I was just going to buy it and relegate it to the backlog, but now that I know a revamped version is coming out I'll wait!

---

On a separate note, is MGS V: GZ worth it for a total MGS virgin? I've heard people say the game is just a glorified tech demo (albeit a good one), and it isn't very long (~2 hours).

 

[abracadaver]

Are new deals only every 24 hours? What happened to the 8 hour flash deals?

Yeah it sounds really relaxing which is a gap not well represented in my steam library, but I do want at least one mode where I'm not on a timer with a mission or anything where I can just drive from Warsaw to Berlin or something and enjoy the sights and sounds on the way.

How cheap does You Need a Budget get down to usually? I see its at 25% off now.

Firstly not a daily or community. Secondly , check the price history of it using this.

https://www.steamprices.com/uk/sw/227320/you-need-a-budget-4

It has gone for 75% off at 7.49£, different in dollars, in the summer sale. Wait.

I've only played missions, but you're never against a hard timer that stops you in the middle of a mission or anything like that. You're always given lots of time to make deliveries, and if you don't care about the management aspect it's exceptionally easy to tune it out and just drive around listening to the various internet radio streams.

 

[Lomax]

When it's a daily it is typically 75% off. Given the reduced number of dailies and how old it is at this point, hard to say if that will actually happen this sale or not.

 

[Pachimari]

I just want Borderlands 1: GOTY for cheap, so I can get going in that universe before I play B2 and Pre-seq.

What else would you spend that money in real life that it is not food? Video games are like everlasting, so it makes sense that you are more careful about since you can't play them all especially with a job.

I'm so glad Gaben didn't destroy my wallet during thanksgiving sale.

Whats up with dark souls 1? I thought Games for windows live was patched out? Now I bought it and the effing Popup was displayed (and only sound on the right speaker ....)

it is less than 10€ (9$) on nuveem right now

Site is legit, I have an account there, have bought probably 5+ games from the U.S., no VPN or proxy required. It will tell you if a game is region-locked. Can use Chrome to auto-translate.

Thanks for the link, Volotaire. I guess I can wait. Excel has gotten me this far.

In other news, Civilization Beyond Earth is 40% off.

I want to know this too, so I can sleep soundly.

 

[Durante]

The deals below the main ones say "every 12 hours" right on top of the list.

don't worry.

once you go to sleep there will be plenty price errors for you to miss

Please don't use that word.

 

[RandomSeed]

How's the difficulty level in Valkyria Chronicles? I like challenging games, but not cheap. Tempted to snag that one if it goes on sale for sure.

 

[Nzyme32]

I guess. But doesn't everyone miss this??

My crackpot theory is that Valve are still trying to focus on tuning the store since it's changes and use of "The Algorithm (tm)", so they are doing a pretty standard plain sale still.

hmmm... it is just me or is this thread moving way slower that I expected it to compared to past Holiday Sales?

 

[bennywhatever]

Is there a program or a browser extension that can monitor a game for you to see if it goes on sale?
I really want Never Alone, but I don't want to pay $13.49 for it.

If I was to donate a little more to your blog to help subsidise the cost, would you buy it?

You can free roam when you're not in a delivery.

 

[toddhunter]

Sorry if this has been asked, but is there any chance Skyrim will be a daily deal?

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Steam thread users, aka an inclusive community )), is having their conversations in the community thread!

 

[Starwolf_UK]

i had to disable wishlist sales emails, my phone wouldn't shut up

I've not got any of these e-mails despite having several games in my wishlist.

I believe you can set up alerts on this website:

I'd say it is likely, but the DLC won't get a meaningful discount. In fact, I'm not sure if it ever has

Advanced question: Will Elder Scrolls Online be more discounted than 67% (present discount) at the same time as part of a franchise sale?

I think it's pretty good. You can beat a lot of the levels if you don't have any clue whatsoever, but if you don't have any clue, it really takes a lot of time. There's almost always plenty of room for more strategic playing.

my bad

It's ok. Not the biggest thing.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

They want you to buy the legendary edition, reason why I don't have the DLC.

 

[AsylumX]

The real question is... will the legendary edition reach 75% OFF?

 

[Nzyme32]

I was surprised with how challenging it was actually. Sometimes (so far for me) there have been solutions and tactics to complete missions that I wasn't expecting

 

[SteveWinwood]

Definitely.
