yeah but i like metal gear

and it looks nice

guess i expected more like 10 instead of 2 gigs

Then buy it. If you like running different missions multiple times to optimize runs, looking for secrets and love metal gear solid, the game seems to be worth the $14. How many GBs it is seems irrelevant.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

runs perfect and at 60fps easily

thanks breh. sold!

 

[xenoflux2113]

So I was in a meeting for the first 30 minutes of the sale. Any price errors I've missed?

 

[FoneBone]

Also needs to be emphasized: as great as steam sales can be, other sites will often sell steam keys for cheaper than available through Steam itself. Check price histories on Enhanced Steam, and use Isthereanydeal.

 

[Kriken]

Nothing today (unless you count MGSV from Nuuvem). Might bite on DS though for the mods...

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Is the Lifeline DLC worth anything for State of Decay?

Dunno if anyone answered but yes it absolutely is. New area too!

I was just expressing surprise that I wouldn't have to mess around with anything on my ssd to fit it, and I got to use the remote install for the first time.

Not the value statement so many seemed to take it as lol.

Considering Valve can only suggest deals that publishers need to agree to, not like ti's their fault entirely. Valve just can't say "Ok these games are going to be x% off and that's how it's gonna be!"

He's saying Valve could have made more space for featured deals (e.g. there being 8 half-day deals instead of 6).

 

[hotnheavyload]

La Mulana is $2.99.

Buy it.

 

[Zia]

Ground Zeroes is the best Metal Gear game. Buy it.

 

[MattyG]

Do you guys think DS2 will drop below the $15 it's at right now at any point, or should I just grab it now?

http://store.steampowered.com/app/286260/
fault milestone one was 50% off for a few minutes that's about it.

nope. dailies/flash/community deals are as low as the price will go.

wait for the GOTY

 

[FoneBone]

I keep hoping for DMC4 to go lower than 4.99. I'm terrible.

 

[FloatOn]

I fucking love this time of year for the hype and the salty tears.

I don't even know what I'm in the mood to buy this year.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Waiting for the definitive edition of Dark Souls 2.

Doubt they'll get dailies but I'm waiting on DreadOut, Shantae, and Momodora III.
Nothing else on my mind for this sale it looks like.

 

[Volotaire]

It's not going to go cheaper on Steam for this whole sale. It may vary on other stores like gamersgate, Amazon, etc.

 

[DaciaJC]

I was surprised that Dark Souls II didn't get any discount at all in the Fall sale. And now, in one of the two biggest Steam sales of the year, none of the DLC gets even the slightest price cut ...

*grumbles*

 

[Unicorn]

wait for the Remaster

fixed.

 

[Lomax]

Considering Valve can only suggest deals that publishers need to agree to, not like ti's their fault entirely. Valve just can't say "Ok these games are going to be x% off and that's how it's gonna be!"

Valve doesn't suggest deals much at all any more. Before the winter sale, publishers submit two discounts. One for the entire sale, and another if they get chosen as a daily. Those rates are set by the publishers. But which games get put on dailies and how many dailies is totally up to Valve. In the year where Valve has more than doubled the number of games on their store, they are having fewer dailies than ever. Which means most games won't get as high of a discount as their publishers allowed for them.

Sure, if a daily is only 66% off instead of 75% we can complain some about the publisher's choices. But when that game sits the whole sale at 40% off and never gets a chance to be a daily at all, that's Valve's fault entirely.

 

[Gunstarheroes]

Shovel Knight isnt on sale either? Maaaaaaaaaaaan

 

[drgambit]

I aint spending 80 percent of my sale budget on that

I have the same budget as salsa...

 

[Salsa]

no regular discount on Valkyria Chronicles does not bode well for a daily :/

probably what I was hoping for the most

and it was $7.5 in russia. blargh

 

[bathsalts]

ground zeroes dl'ing

whats the word on flight sim x?

 

[Haunted]

Speedrunners for 2,49 is a no brainer.

 

[fade_]

I am not able to vote for anything. There's a counter for 24 hours but it didn't let me vote. Is this normal?

 

[hotnheavyload]

I've had a rough past 3 months financially, I'm browsing the $4.99 and under section lol.

Hey big spender!

 

[Yoshichan]

What're the odds that Lords of the Fallen will drop below the 50% that it's at right now? (deal ends 2nd Jan)

 

[Jirotrom]

75% off or bust lol...
maybe 70 depending on game

 

[L Thammy]

usually when a newer game is on sale it means that game's whole franchise is discounted through the duration of that daily

they'll usually only feature one game from a given franchise on the front page, but discount the entire franchise.

Thanks. Guess I have to get it then.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Shovel Knight isnt on sale either? Maaaaaaaaaaaan

IIRC the developers put out a statement that basically said "don't hold your breath waiting for a sale."

 

[Starzonedge]

Is MG:R the lowest it'll be this sale or should I wait?

 

[MattyG]

nope. dailies/flash/community deals are as low as the price will go.

wait for the GOTY

It's not going to go cheaper on Steam for this whole sale. It may vary on other stores like gamersgate, Amazon, etc.

Ah, alright thanks.

I forgot about the GOTY edition, definitely waiting for that.

 

[Volotaire]

I might buy speedrunners. Seems like a solid game.

 

[Stratosphere]

Dark Souls 75% off. It's not going any lower than that is it?

 

[Volcynika]

What're the odds that Lords of the Fallen will drop below the 50% that it's at right now? (deal ends 2nd Jan)

The odds are 23.58394038043%

(Maybe, maybe not)

 

[Unicorn]

~1 in 14?

 

[BPoole]

Speedrunners for 2,49 is a no brainer.

Not if you have no friends to play it with

 

[Malreyn]

The urge to buy BG:EE 1 and 2 conflicting with the "Wait for Dailies" mantra...

 

[Cbajd5]

Price Mistakes?

Dead Bits 97% off

Overcast - Walden and the Werewolf 98% off

Can't add to cart though.

Edit: Okay, maybe I just can't add anything to my cart.

 

[Shifty1897]

GAF, need your help. My best friend used to be obsessed with Civ 5.

Do I get him Crusader Kings 2 or Endless Legend?

 

[Branson]

Oh shit I just remembered after buying it. MGR only runs at like 24fps on tvs hooked up through hdmi doesn't it? Fuck.

 

[Anustart]

currently $6, and it's also a daily (metal gear franchise) so buy buy buy

I'd argue against that. Game is pretty boring

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Dark Souls 75% off. It's not going any lower than that is it?

if it's a daily or part of a franchise that's in the daily then, no, it wont get cheap unless it's sold somewhere other than steam.

 

[SteveWinwood]

ground zeroes dl'ing

whats the word on flight sim x?

Mega on the first page was saying he got some word from friends second hand saying it's kind of disappointing as there was no modding or add on stuff right now.

But don't quote me on that... or him probably.

GAF, need your help. My best friend used to be obsessed with Civ 5.

Do I get him Crusader Kings 2 or Endless Legend?

Crusader kings is much deeper and harder to get into. Most would say more rewarding though. If you think he could be into that sure.

Endless Legend is much more like Civ though.

 

[Unicorn]

Is MG:R the lowest it'll be this sale or should I wait?

It's a daily, so lowest it'll be this sale.

 

[Salsa]

Oh shit I just remembered after buying it. MGR only runs at like 24fps on tvs hooked up through hdmi doesn't it? Fuck.

?

played it on my 40 inch just fine at 60

back when it came out too

 

[Spyware]

Got Styx and Rising. Was sure I had bought Rising before but apparently not.
Is Ground Zeroes worth the current price? I'm a fan of the series but others have told me not to buy it. A bit conflicted. I'm not gonna buy games next year at all so it's either now or MUCH later.

 

[Gunstarheroes]

IIRC the developers put out a statement that basically said "don't hold your breath waiting for a sale."

Fair enough. Its worth 15 dollars, i was just ready to buy a bunch of copies for friends if it was on sale. Freedom Planet is half off though...

 

[def sim]

Yay sale time
