Two of the buggiest and poorest RTS sequels of recent times for the price of one
too many

who is Emo-Beas?
Wake up to realize i won the raffle for evil within on here. This totally makes my Christmas for me.
Rome 2 has been patched a lot and is on par with Shogun 2 IMHO.
Company of heroes 2 does feel a bit weird to me (and I love CoH1 and Dawn of War).
Rome 2 is a must have if you like total war games or want to get into them. Or buy Shogun 2 if you prefer the Japanese setting.

Has Gunslinger been a daily deal yet? I really hope to catch a 80%-90% discount on that..

you can get [Call of Juarez Gunslinger + Far Cry 3 - Blood Dragon] for $7.48. I don't think it will get cheaper than that.
hopefully not because thats what I paid last sale and I haven't even played them yet ;-P

Cannot believe the price of all the Call of Duty games still. It is laughable. Activision have to be the greediest fucking company there is.
Edit: Hahaha £232 (like $360) for the Call of Duty franchise pack? Even with the sale price? Hahahaha get fucked Activision!

Realistic political simulator?
I'm really into Grand Strategy games, but i dont know if i will like this one. I've seen some videos and read some reviews but i'm not 100% convinced.
Rome II is ok nowadays.
If you're looking for that, that's pretty much what you'll get in a pretty dry fashion. The creator of the series is a pretty neat guy, also does the Gratuitous Space Battles series.

Have been waiting to get Rome II for cheap, thanks!
That bundle is worth $748, I say! Two ridiculously good games.

I've bought a few games cheaper from nuuvem and activated them with a vp but just read that steam can ban you for that.
I'm worried now :-(

Will Arma 3 get much lower discount than that ? ;_(
Off-Topic, but has this been confirmed?
Still waiting for a daily/flash for Resident Evil 4 or Dragonfall.

bought it yesterday and I have yet to understand how it really works..kept changing things but nothing seems to change..i resolve some problem but just cause another as a consequence...
maybe that's the point
that being said..some reviews on steam said that in the end it's not that complex and not that in-depth..I'll try it again this afternoon

While using a VPN at all is technically against the rules, in practice Valve hasn't taken any action against those who use one to just activate a region-locked key or unlock a game early -- it's using one to aid in cross-region purchasing that may very well land you in hot water, as in doing so you're playing silly buggers with Valve's 30% cut (it doesn't see a cent from retail key activations, and obviously unlocking a game early harms nobody). You'll find no shortage of people here who've used a VPN for the former two reasons, myself included, and in fact VPNs are even necessary for game collectors as some region-specific games are exclusive to retail and tied to an activation-restricted sub (a fact I most recently encountered with the Korean version of Football Manager 2012). Also, Valve stopped outright banning accounts almost three years ago now in favour of a restriction-based system, so even if you broke even rule in the book, at worst you'd be prevented from using Steam Community features and adding to your library -- you would not lose access to your pre-existing library. Instead of this:
You'd see something like this:

Really considering grabbing it..
I'm looking to buy Europa Universalis IV as a belated Christmas gift.
It's £17 or so on Steam - anyone got a -75% off voucher or know were I can bargain for one?
Alternatively, it's £10 at GameKeysNow.com. Anyone have any experience with this site?
Much appreciated.
EDIT: https://www.paradoxplaza.com/europa-universalis-iv-extreme-edition?___store=gb Found it on Paradox Store for cheap, sorry to bother!

Depends on the game. Most don't require a VPN, but this is less true of more recent releases.
I've had intermittent problems via web client all week. Today it said my credit card was rejected - even though I was using Steam wallet, and I don't even have a card linked.
Everything works fine through the client though.
Well I added NFS:HP to Steam and used the CD key there, and now I can't use my CD key in Origin because it says the key is already redeemed.
I think the Steam version is the latest version (1.0.5.0), but could someone with the Origin version right-click their NFS11.exe and check the version in the "Details" tab?
At maximum settings, NFS:HP runs at 60FPS on my laptop with Windows 8.1 and a GT 755M (equivalent to a GTX 650). It also works with RadeonPro's SMAA.

The Resident Evil deals at greenmangaming were good enough for me to bite. RE4 is 7.5e and RE6 is 5.6e after coupon. I really doubt there would be a better deal for either of those on Steam during this sale, even if they happened to show up in a daily.
I'm losing hope in CS: Go going on sale
I remember people here saying it probably wouldn't go on sale as that'd enable cheaters to stock up on cheap copies for when they get banned.

I did a giveaway for WrassleGAF there are some (a lot) of games left over: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=144740986&postcount=6244
It's been rather hard today. Worked after I signed out, cleared my cookies and signed back in (although that emptied my cart).
Check GameDealsReddit here: http://www.reddit.com/r/GameDeals/comments/2qdlrf/steam_holiday_sale_day_8/ and change the days as appropiate

I love Verdun, but its a marmite game. If you like uber tough FPSes like Red Orchestra 2, youll love it. If you like fast paced shooters like CoD, youll hate it.

Does Steam Greenlight access count as a +1 or is it 'software'?
Even when it was technically a game it didn't count as a +1, a fact which I learned the hard way. Earlier in the year Valve changed the app to a config file, so even if it did confer a +1, it would have been taken off, anyway.
Edit: Also, software counts as a +1 since Valve hasn't yet set up Steam Community to distinguish between that and actual games.
thanks a lot
It seems I haven't missed that much, although why there are only one set of flash sales, if they change every 12 hours?

Wreckfest is a fantastic game and well worth the money. Cant wait for the final product.
The grid changes every 12 hours but the deals themselves last for 24.
They only update the reddit post per day, hence why. EDIT: above.

Hey guys did Civ in SPAAAAAAAAAAACE already go on sale? Since am waiting for that the most now I think.
Everything else that I had wanted I pretty much have

Does it need a high spec machine? I've got an aging gtx560 with a dual core CPU. I can play most games fine at 1680x1050. Wondering if it's worth buying now or waiting till I have a decent PC?
