Bought Euro Truck Simulator at the last minute because it sounds like fun.

Did I do good?

 

[dmr87]

And it's back.

 

[DaBargainHunta]

Bottom of the page.

DmC, Orcs must Die etc.

Thanks. Doesn't seem like I missed much then. (Although Hammerwatch is great, for those of you who don't have that already...and it just got a free expansion.)

 

[Cheeseman Battitude]

Why? Because there is nothing you want or the discounts are bad?

For me it's because the discounts are bad. If they were better I would be buying games I don't want!

 

[opticalmace]

Haven't bought anything yet. Get it together, gaben.

 

[Pinktaco]

steam isn't working, but it's working for my friends in the same region?

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Digital Deluxe and the bundle are on sale. Just not the base game.

Ok I see.

Without all DLC I'm not double dipping anyway...

 

[Popstar]

PRICE ERROR

All three community vote games are getting the 75% discount. Not just the vote winner.

So Cities in Motion 2 and R.U.S.E. are extra discounted even though they lost the vote to Rage.

 

[industrian]

I'm finally able to get back into Steam.

 

[DylanTackoor]

Price was updated except for ME2....don't tell me...

Mass Effect 2 Digital Deluxe Edition for $7.49

 

[Yui]

Prison Architect 80% off? Damn, I'm in!

 

[SniperHunter]

dreamfalls worth it? what about ethan carter

both games look very interesting

 

[JaseC]

Bulletstorm has been on sale as a flash and daily every sale.
EA likely can't be arsed to remove GFWL either way :V

The ball is in Epic's court, but you're right, it's not happening.

August 21st, 2013: "We're discussing [what to do with Bulletstorm] internally"
Every day since: Radio silence.

 

[Cuban Legend]

prison architect is great

totally worth it at that price


you wont be able to play it period

wtf, seriously? first i've heard of this, when is this happening? so will ALL GFWL games that arent updated to steamworks, doomed to this fate as well? Is there a list of which ones?

Are legit owners of these games going to have to download/pirate non-GFWL/cracked copies them to play them ? omg microsoft you shits.

 

[Spyware]

How is The Vanishing of Ethan Carter? Because I could use a slow, atmospheric adventure game.

I loved it to bits.

 

[Jirotrom]

prison architect is great

totally worth it at that price

thats not true, i was just playing it last week, speaking about bulletstorm

 

[El Topo]

I had clicked on it, musnt have updated

Oh yeah, sorry. It happens.

I loved it to bits.

Might get it then. Thanks.

 

[Sch1sm]

Mass Effect 2 Digital Deluxe Edition for $7.49

Huh. Still showing up as 21.99 CAD for me. On the client, on Android, and browser, even.

E: Oh. Click on ME2 and you can't buy it at 21.99. Next listing is 7.49. Well. Okay then. That's... Valve, why?

 

[cicero]

god the sale this year is terrible

oh no, that is plain crazy talk. Your expectations are just too damn high.

 

[Durante]

Yay, one of the games I was hoping for a sale on is a flash sale!

First purchase of this sale: Dreamfall Chapters

Good choice!

 

[Blitzhex]

3 dollars for banner saga on nuuvem. Fucking love that site.

 

[fantomena]

For me it's because the discounts are bad. If they were better I would be buying games I don't want!

Did you think games there jsut a few months old would get over 50% off?

 

[SteveWinwood]

Some games on gfwl support offline profiles so presumably those will be fine.

Those that don't...

yeah gfwl sucks

thats not true, i was just playing it last week, speaking about bulletstorm

...

 

[Yaboosh]

3 dollars for banner saga on nuuvem. Fucking love that site.

Isn't that site a dealer of Brazilian keys? In that case wouldn't purchases be useless to NA and Europe now?

 

[73V3N]

if dreamfall the longest journey didn't get a deeper discount today it means it's not getting any deeper discount this sale, right?

 

[His Majesty]

Did you think games there jsut a few months old would get over 50% off?

DMC has been out for 2 years and is still 10€, a bit steep.

 

[legacyzero]

Damn, was hoping for Redux to go 75%

 

[Blitzhex]

Isn't that site a dealer of Brazilian keys? In that case wouldn't purchases be useless to NA and Europe now?

They sell ROW keys.

 

[corrosivefrost]

I enjoyed it for a few hours.

The boss fights were really annoying but it felt good when I beat them.

Then the game wanted me to fight the SAME bosses again. This time in a row, without getting killed. I promptly uninstalled the game. Ain't nobody got time for that.

But a lot of people love it. If you enjoy cool combat and difficult boss fights with a lot of button mashing, you should enjoy this game.

Found your problem, mate.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

DMC has been out for 2 years and is still 10€, a bit steep.

That's pretty much a norm on Crapcom games.

 

[Koeta]

Haven't bought anything yet. Get it together, gaben.

same here, the fact Borderlands and Dark Souls DLC wasn't on sale /at all/ has made this a sad sale for me so far.

 

[El Topo]

Dreamfall Chapters is on sale, but not The Longest Journey or Dreamfall? Fuck this.

Edit:
Different publishers? Okay, fair enough. Still disappointed.

 

[SmithnCo]

Meh deals.

 

[Fawoosh]

50% off Metro Redux. That's neat I guess.

 

[Lomax]

Some games with GFWL run fine offline or otherwise, but Bulletstorm doesn't. If you can't get logged into GFWL, Bulletstorm won't go past the title screen at all.

 

[corrosivefrost]

50% off Metro Redux. That's neat I guess.

Wasn't it just 66% off as a weekend deal and even more than that as a daily?

 

[tebunker]

had to vote with my heart, Panzercorp... dat classic turn based just....

 

[Suite Pee]

I'm only a little bored by this sale because I already have a ton of games, usually the ones with the best discounts, and I'm really starting to get fatigued.

If I were new to Steam this shit would blow my mind like it used to. My backlog is too big and I have so many games I got on "excellent" discounts that I haven't played (and since buying them they've been discounted to even lower prices). So, I'm not going to whine. Haven't bought anything yet, but I think I might get Valkyria or Isaac.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Dreamfall Chapters is awesome guys. Please support it so the future episodes can get a bunch more funding and shits.

 

[Durante]

I really don't get where the idea that the sale is "bad" is coming from. It seems easily on par with any other Steam sale ever.

I mean, I'm also buying less than I used to, but that's because I already have most of the games I wanted, from kickstarter rewards or bundles or earlier sales or even buying them day 1. That doesn't make the offers worse though.

 

[73V3N]

Dreamfall Chapters is on sale, but not The Longest Journey or Dreamfall? Fuck this.

Edit:
Different publishers? Okay, fair enough. Still disappointed.

I feel like they never go on sale.

Do i need to play longest journey before getting chapters?

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

see the key to steam sales is getting them the year AFTER they come out

that's when the good deals show up..and at times w/o even needing a daily. Unless its DMC and its stuck at $12.50 for eternity

Downloading the Europa demo to see if i dig it

 

[Scrabble]

Did redux fix the stealth and a.i.? Last Light was pretty much broken with how easy stealth was because of the brain dead a.i..

 

[El Topo]

I feel like they never go on sale.

Do i need to play longest journey before getting chapters?

I think it's just a spiritual successor, but I haven't played Dreamfall Chapters yet.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Hoping we get 33% off of Far Cry 4. Been interested in checking it out after all of the positive buzz.

 

[73V3N]

Wasn't it just 66% off as a weekend deal and even more than that as a daily?

it was 66% off but looks like it was a mistake cause it went back to 50% a few hours later

I think it's just a spiritual successor, but I haven't played Dreamfall Chapters yet.

oh ok thanks

people lose perspective

 

[eot]

god the sale this year is terrible

Every year is terrible if you own most of what you want.

 

[cicero]

That cat needs a tiny cup of coffee next to him.

 

[abracadaver]

What? Borderlands DLC is on sale right now
