Guys, what do I do if a games on sale as a daily but I don't know if I'll ever actually play it?
I could never recommend Colonial Marines, it's just such a poorly made game that even playing it to ridicule it will never outweigh the mistakes in the game.
However, we did make this out of it.
If you are a collector/ +1 er, just buy it.
If you buy games to play it, try to figure out how much chance you'll actually end up playing it someday. If you can reasonably believe you'll play the game within a few years because you like the series or sometimes feel wanting in the type of experience it gives, go for it. If you can't imagine you will ever play it unless you are bored or only when you have nothing else to play, don't get it.
If you use Steam Library sharing, will one of your connected kin play it sometime? That can make it worth getting.
Last option, if it's just so damn cheap you can make the money back in cards.

Well, SeahorseGaf will approve of this one.
Fuck I almost spit out my drink
Hell to the no.
Maybe add a "it takes a few minutes for them to update, don't fucking whine."

Very likely, yeah. But why wait for the Summer Sale when it's at its lowest right now. Same thing with Gun Point.

A:CM is worth the 5 dollars especially after the patches. Stump Hates it but I don't think it was that bad. As was earlier said its serviceable even solo.
Metroidvania
People called Romanes they go the house?
I'm pretty sure JC2 has been at least a flash sale for each of the last 3-4 sales, it always seems to come up.

Anyone?
I want it, but I'm not gonna enter. I know sometimes in the future I'll manage to get a copy off GMG with only playfire money.
Sorry, missed it the first time you posted it. Yeah I had that earlier this morning when I was buying a gift, but I fixed it by changing payment method.

listen to the mad man
I guess my stance is that pretty much every game is serviceable. I've played a lot of the worst games on the platform. Right, like, Rogue Warrior, 18 metacritic or whatever it is. It's serviceable. So if we accept that serviceable doesn't mean anything and basically every game out there is playable to completion. I mean it'd be pretty hard to make an FPS that wasn't given the availability of standard engine tech. What's the actual standard for a bad game? Like, if Aliens: CM is somewhere in the middle, what shooters on Steam in the last 4-5 years are bad? I haven't played Revelations 2012 yet.
Yeah, that's huge.
Steam key buying here i come

buy it and feed it to modbot.
I like it. The only thing i dont like is the lack of multiplayer in the PC version and no dodge. The A button isn't assigned to anything on the controller and it would of being good if it had dodge in the game. For the $2.50 i paid i like it.

The bad thing about Steam Sales for me the last couple of years is I pretty much own most of what I want... From other Steam Sales.. LOL
What I'm Looking for:
- X Rebirth....................................... No more than $10
- Remember Me............................... No more than $5
- Ace Combat Assault Horizon.......... No more than $10
- DayZ Standalone............................ No more than $10
- The Forest...................................... No less than %50
- Watch_Dogs................................... No less than %50 (LMAO)
- Lost Planet 3................................... No more than $10
Otherwise, I don't think I'll be looking to much. Maybe a few awesome indies.

Yeah, he should have waited until after the sale. :/
Promising...

Challenge accepted. I'm a masochist like that. Tomorrow I'm reviewing Aliens: CM.

I was thinking DayZ myself but i get the feeling it might be a long shot.
Abyss Odyssey too? So many games need to stop coming out to tempt me when I'm trying to save my money for the steam sale.
Hmm, well then I can only suggestion the following basic ideas to try out.
Try another device or IP.
Log out and then back in.
Contact Steam support and hope they get around to you sometime soon. You could also find a magic monkey paw, it might be faster.

Here is the OP I am going to use when you get banned 24 minutes before the sales start:
You have accidentally an "on" but other than that

oh snap
gamechanger.
Works perfectly with Chrome browser Steam with Enhanced Steam...
However in the client, I get an error asking me to turn on cookies...?
Furthermore, I also can't view the steam stats page properly because "You need to update Adobe Flash"...is this a common thing? Naturally, browser and ES combo are with no issues
