Damn.
I would chastise you for not picking up Recettear one of the many times its been on sale, but I can't chastise anyone for wanting Recettear.
Pff, this is a Steam sale thread, you should be able to read minds, budgets, and be able to tell the future!

Thanks, I'll most likely just read/watch summaries of the previous games since they appear to be pretty dated gameplay and visually.

Picked up Rise of Nations, have such fond memories of that game so should be fun
Wish the older Dreamfall games had a better sale on, 20% off is pretty weak

Also helps if his profile isn't private so we can see what he owns
I'll recommend 140 even though it's not on sale. Fantastic music based platformer. Very brief though.

Probably mentioned in the official thread already, but Pinball Arcade is having a flash sale.
99 cents for each set of two tables
- Taxi and Harley Davidson
- White Water and Space Shuttle (or $1.99 for those + White Water Pro)
Not as good as the deal from a few months ago that gave you 3-4 tables for a penny, but 50 cents a table is still nice.
NOTE: You have to purchase the tables IN-GAME

Damn! The wait continues for XIII-2 to be a daily I guess.
Dreamfall and The Longest Journey are almost always dailies or flash sales, so don't worry too much. I remember I got mine last Holiday sale when they both were up.

Anybody have any impressions of Panzer Corps? I'm interested in it if it goes 80% off. I really enjoy Age of Empires, Rise of Nations, and CK2

Well considering the new one is on sale I would have assumed the older ones would be too since that's how it usually goes for franchises

If you like survival games with Tim Burton-esque art:
Don't Starve.
Hopefully some time next year the multiplayer will be available.

I made the mistake of purchasing it during the last winter sale. I walked away not enjoying it. The whole game felt cheap and poorly made. Just wasn't a fan.

Speaking of Rise of Nations, what do you guys think about the microsoft RTS bundle that's on sale.
$25 isn't a bad price for five games including Age of Empires/Age of Mythology/Rise of Nations.

That's a pretty good deal if you don't have any of them already.

The multiplayer is already available. Don't Starve Together. I spent 6 hours on it yesterday and it's a lot of fun.

Will you play it before the Summer Sale? If so, buy it now. Otherwise wait until the Summer Sale.

It's classic turn based strategy. If you are in any way interested in Panzer General, Battle Isle or even Jagged Alliance or maybe the newer Battle Worlds: Kronos, Panzer Corps is your game. A shitload of missions and the great time consuming tactic game that the classic was, with better graphics and slightly better controls.

Yeah totally meant to say when the multiplayer is out of ea.
Recettear (and the rest of the Carpe Fulgur games) will be on sale. It was an oversight: https://twitter.com/SpaceDrakeCF/status/545791641182027776

Is there a way to tell if a game has been included in a daily sale 3+ days ago?
Here are some of my favorites, I tried to organize them to similar genres as best I could.
Binding of Isaac: Rebirth/Don't Starve
Banished/Prison Architect
Transistor/Bastion/Mount and Blade: Warband
Divinity: Original Sin/Wasteland 2
FTL
Cook, Serve, Delicious
Papers, Please
Steamworld Dig/Shovel Knight/Valdis Story/Dust
Brothers
Keep your eye on Below, Ori and the Blind Forest, Way of the Samurai 4, Killing Floor 2, Life is Strange, and Hotline Miami 2 coming early 2015.
Also check out Malebolgia. A Early Access game that is generating a fair amount of buzz and similar to Dark Souls.

Thank you.
Zero, it will be 33% off unless there's some sort of price mistake.
Probably good. The game has done really well and i can see it being a big ticket item on a daily deal.
Eh....maybe 40% then
Bolded ones i all ready have off course i am going to buy KF2,Hotline Miami 2. But thanks for a nice list.
it will probably be cheaper when "Age of" gets a sale
lol I got too excited by the fact that the Steam stores mistakenly thought I was still in AU this morning. Immediately snapped up Valkyria chronicles before it reverted.
Stupid lizard brain.
Man there is an absolutely absurd amount of great PC titles under $5 on this sale. If you are only just starting out as a PC gamer it must be like striking gold. I should make a list topic.

I went from about 5 to 50 games between when I finished my PC before the thanksgiving sale to now

That reminds me, I've been wanting to pick up Banished. If it hits $5 probably a must. If it only goes to 66% off, ehhhhhh. 75% seems like a decent shot though since it's 50% off already.
Lowest it has been was $6 on the humble store at some point.

The only thing I've bought so far is Mini Ninjas on GMG for $2. Then again, so much of my wishlist consists of newer games that won't hit sub-$10 until sometime in 2015, and I have a backlog.
The biggest thing I'm waiting on is the Prince of Persia series to go below $3 apiece (IIRC, it happened during the summer sale, but I missed the boat).
And Jesus Christ, Capcom... DmC2013 has been out almost two years. You can drop the friggin' MSRP already.

It was 33% in the fall sale, the discounts are the same. Now another site could possibly have it for 40% and there's still people around with keys/gifts for less.

Hey Grief, wasn't Below supposed to be some kind of timed Xbox One exclusive? I remember them saying it would come out on PC at a same date, but then I saw someone mention that Xbox's gonna get it first after all.
The main thing is it the balance, I feel - unlike a lot of other city builders, it's easier for me to tell what problems my population is having on the town, as opposed to just plonking down buildings every which way and not having a clue what's actually going on.
Also it's made by one guy which is pretty impressive. Wish it didn't look so drab though

Nuclear Throne fits that description well.
I've only really gotten into buying on Steam just recently. And I've played Recettear before! I just can't bring myself to buy it at twenty bucks.
Seeing it's been as low as five dollars before really stings, though.
EDIT:
YESSSSSSSSS

Capitalism, ho!
That's cool, I was beginning to think they were dead or something, it's been so long since they've released another translation. It's a shame neither of the other two games they did were anywhere near as good as Recettear though.
Bit slow on region lock news here. But when I first read about it, I thought it was only going to affect the RU/CIS regions, due to the ongoing freefall of the ruble. What I've recently learned is that it basically affects every single region that even has the slightest discount, over the US base price. Seems like they've taken advantage of the situation as an excuse to implement this. Looks like my game purchases on Steam are going to be reduced significantly during this sale, and future ones too.
I think they have been helping XSEED with Trails in the Sky SC.
