Infinite, very kind of you. Funny to sometimes see you here as well as stream chats these days, I should mention. But also want to comment your current profile pic makes me think you'd be able to do a pretty good Madotuski cosplay from Yume Nikki.

Sure many here will be happy with the giveaway~

Why thank you! I've seen you a lot during this sale, but I've yet to win any of your giveaways! Hrmm, that might actually be a good idea for a cheap cosplay to do the next time I go to a con. I'd pretty much just need a big pink sweater and to sew on a black and white checkered patch on the front!

I hope they are happy with it since it was one of my favorite games of last year.

If it's like the summer sale, all the small deals will go away tomorrow and will only have best sellers on a stronger discount price. But if you want the small hidden sales that haven't been dailies or anything yet, you should buy tonight.
 
You sure? Front page says through Jan 3rd. Tomorrow is probably the encore daily.

It's just odd for all of the rest of the store listings to be ending tomorrow at 1PM if that were to happen. There's never daily's that exist without the rest of the sale going on.

First playthrough, I let him in cause idgaf. They make a headline in the newspaper and I'm like aww shit, I shouldn't have let him in.

Second playthrough same thing happens (it's story mode so it repeats) and I decide to not let the dude in. Same thing happens, they show up dead anyways. WHAT'S THE DEAL?

Went ahead and got Counter-Strike: Source for mod fun earlier today when I realized it probably wouldn't be discounted any deeper for this sale. (A friend gave me Garry's Mod.)

I really liked the original Soul Reaver way back when but never played the rest of them. Any idea how well these games have aged?

Nope but MamaRobotnik would make legacy of kain threads all the time so a collection of classics for $4.00 is good to just have around.

About to pick up super street fighter.
I notice that it's about 70 cents cheaper (USD) to buy the game alone, and the dlc pack rather than the pack that includes them both. Am I missing something?

Is there a hidden gems thread?

so glad I got valdis, that is a fun little game. the slide is a bit tricky particularly with the pressure plates short timer at the beginnig. I'm jsut to the town, so not far in.

Yea I was not expecting the timings to be so strict on those challenges. There were a few where I was dashing through just as the door closed. Very tense stuff, really enjoying them so far.

All these giveaways are making me wish I bought a couple extra games on the side when they were really discounted, could've been an awesome giveaway in a few months for people that missed the big sale.

There should be one more day of sale after this, no? Typically an encore sale day.

If there is an encore day, do you think my precious snow globe cards will evaporate before that or will they keep them around for the extra day? Bleehhhhhh better get crafting early just incase

I'm guessing they'll have 2 more days of deals. but the time lengths will be shortened? (Maybe just one more day's worth and an encore day)

Typically it would end at 1PM EST on the last day listed. So theoretically we have one more round, but the timers seem to indicate otherwise. I don't think there would be a set of deals with the rest of the store reverting to normal. That would be weird.

They're going *poof* on the 3rd. So you'll be fine through tomorrow.

Valdis Story's soundtrack is phenomenal. I put it on my iTunes wish list, hopefully it gets cheaper then $15.

Been loving the games with great OSTs lately, I already owned hotline miami but been listening to that, got Dustforce off Humble Store and I bought Valdis Story but didn't really think about the music. Might lift it a few positions closer to the playing queue from the backburner with this news.

Bought Legend of Grimlock for $3. I've known about it for a while but wasn't sure if I would like it. I did play Eye of the Beholder on the Sega CD, and while I thought it was impressive, I didn't honestly finish it. So here's hoping Grimlock is better.

Looks like I'm not missing anything, according to the cart.

Wow, test drive pulled for the moment. The sky is fallinggggg

Seeing as it had some big discounts earlier in the year and a shed load of licensed cars I'll not be too shocked if it's gone for ever.

Edit: Saying that there's this message on the store page:-

Notice: We are currently out of keys for this title. We've requested more from the publisher and will have those soon. Should you purchase this title, your key will be delivered as soon as we receive it.

Though it does have Ferrari licensed cars in one if the updates/dlc packs which if Outrun is anything to go by it might disappear sooner rather than later.

Is there an updated/equivalent of this thread? I couldn't find anything, and I wouldn't mind some hidden discounts being highlighted for some good games, before the sale is over.

Salsa usually knocks a thread up on the last day with hidden gems. Toma repurposed the thread from Summer with all the indie titles which get overlooked http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=621131

So I'm playing Papers, Please and there's this lady who slips me a note saying I shouldn't let this guy in a few places back because he will put her and her sister into a brothel. First playthrough, I let him in cause idgaf. They make a headline in the newspaper and I'm like aww shit, I shouldn't have let him in.

Second playthrough same thing happens (it's story mode so it repeats) and I decide to not let the dude in. Same thing happens, they show up dead anyways. WHAT'S THE DEAL?
Yeah, same thing happened for me, I got the same result regardless of whether I let him in or not. Dunno why. :/
