It was recently a Flash deal...which ended like 2 hours ago IIRC.

Dang, is there a feature to buy games automatically when they hit a certain price, like a buy order in the Marketplace?
Terraria is great! HAven't played in a while, but I heard they added some pretty cool stuff.
The soundtrack also never gets old or annoying.

It'll be 40% off til the last day of the sale, so wait and see if it is a flash/daily/community choice til then. Though $4 may not seem too significant, with so many games on sale it's enough that it can mean a whole other game or two in your library!

Did I miss something? Is Fable an RTS now?
I dunno, depends on the results of the vote, I suppose.
Nah, you're not really missing much. It's a mindless GoW clone with some camp value that gets old quickly. It suffers from terrible pacing issues (there are 3 bosses, only one of which is any sort of conventional boss as you'd expect in a GoW clone). For the price, it's okay... but there are a lot of other games I'd have rather booted up and finished in my backlog.
The best thing about it? There's an achievement for skipping ALL cutscenes. LOL
Simple:
Code:
HAS IT BEEN A DAILY?

YES NO

BUY WAITIt's possible for it to go lower in a daily than it was on a flash, I think.
So hold steady and wait for the daily (or at least the flash) before you buy.
They were supposed to add achievements, and I've been waiting for that to replay it, but it's been months. Don't know if they've given up on that.
GalCiv III easily. Beyond Earth is terrible. Seeing a lot of folks I know call Beyond Earth their most disappointing game of 2014.
Look into Age of Wonders III instead if you're thinking of Endless Legend.

What do I need to buy to get all the borderlands 2 DLC? I've heard the GOTY has more DLC than the season pass but not everything?

Here's a pretty game to consider:
It's called Amphora and it's -15% off, it just released in November.
For more pretty games to consider:
Sentris at 20% off. It's basically a puzzle game where you compose music, which is fitted into circles, so that tunes play as the circles rotate. Still in Early Access, so it's a work in progress.
The Sun and Moon at 20% off. Platformer where you can dive into the ground and keep your momentum from jumping. It looks fucking ridiculous. Aesthetic looks neat too:
The Floor is Jelly. Platformer where the platforms are jelly. Has a really relaxing soundtrack by the Fez/Hyperlight Drifter guy.
Nobody wanted them with the NOLURKERS option so now as a free for all:

What's the consensus on DS2 then? Wait for the remaster or just bite now?
Sir Blaming

I hear that people say the remaster will improve alot of stuff, and if you really want to play it now, bite.
If you can wait, wait.

I bought it at 9.99 with much hesitation and now it is my favorite game, I'm gonna make a thread on it tomorrow or the next day but if you miss oldschool Rainbow Six(not vegas but the actual Big Boy Rainbow Six games with tactical planning, loadouts, skillsets, etc.) then you will be absolutely enthralled with Door Kickers.
It's RB6 3: Raven Shield with an Xcom esque perk/soldier progression system with permadeth,Equipment, a level editor, mods, workshop support, possible Multiplayer mode soon, and a whole slew of campaigns that are still being released(there's about 4 or 5 now? they are pretty good sized) on top of training modes, single levels, and a rating system.
Great AI too.

? what's wrong with it
That's her neck:
If anyone wants a better deal on Arkham Origins it's currently on sale at Nuuvem for R$7.99 BRL which was like $3.08 USD when I bought it just a few minutes ago. Sadly, the season pass doesn't appear to be on sale.
That's a shame. I was just about to ask how it turned out.

It looks like her neck is sticking out forward farther than it should, you have to admit it looks kinda weird.

So should I expect The Long Dark to go on sale further?
Bought (even though I have it on my PS3
) . The season pass seems to be on sale for 5.79$ on steamThanks C4rter.
Ooh, pretty. And it's a physics puzzler, too.
I'll put that on my watch list.

Those Batman prices seem pretty damn good!
Can I follow the story in city without playing Asylum first? Think I'd prefer the open-world setting more than the first myself.

Yep it's a prequel so you can go in completely cold if you like. You're missing out if you never play asylum though, that game is a stone cold classic.
She's also in the middle of a war, makes sense if she keeps her head down while she runs considering she's a lightly armoured scout.
Pretty sure City is a sequal while Origins is the prequal..I recall Bane referencing things that happened in Asylum. EDIT: Apparently City is 1 year after Asylum and Knight is 1 year after City.

Cheers! Gonna pick it up and maybe get Asylum before the daily deal ends.

DS2 or just wait for Scholar.. damn!
Argh, so tempting. Really wish it was more than a 50% discount.
Tomorrow morning, some of my Steam friends are in for a very special treat.

Doorkickers is fantastic. Everyone should jump on it. Great fun.
And this sold me....buying it at the current price.
One of my best experiences with tactical games was spending well over an hour setting up a lengthy and systematic tactical sweep of a facility in R6. I took the role of a sniper on a nearby vantage point, and laid out tons of waypoints for three separate teams, all choreographed carefully, having teams move stealthily to get into various positions, entering rooms from opposite doors, clearing one area then setting up to cover another team who would be sweeping nearby...just tons of stuff that was rather tricky to arrange in the game's system.
Then we went into the mission....
turns out all the interior walls were glass.
One of the greatest total failures I've ever enjoyed.

Agree with this. It's not as good as the others, but for that price you'll enjoy it enough.
For those asking earlier, this is where the CEO of Stardock considers GalCiv3 to be at:
http://steamcommunity.com/app/226860/discussions/1/626329820841079979/
You can judge from this where it's going. The old Legacy GalCiv2 stuff is pretty much in at this point, with some new things.

If she really cared about her safety she would be wearing a helmet instead a damn handkerchief on her head lol.
Has been just 2 months since it's official launch after Early Access, you won't see it under that 50% for a bit.
And even at the current -40%, is worth all the pennies. I mean:

You know you want it.
You may wait if it goes again on a flash/daily for that extra 10%, but it's an excellent game.

During Steam sale: Can you see Alien Isolation dropping lower than the £12.80 that the game is selling for on GMG (includes 20% off code)?

Didn't think we could buy from nuuvem anymore. Is the region lock strictly for gifting?
Deus Ex GOTY is pretty cheap now at 1.74. I know a lot of people love it, but is it really as playable today? I remember trying it out some years ago, and I remember how sluggish I found it. The character seemed to move so slowly. Maybe you can upgrade your speed or something later in the game? I really want to like it.
