I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
Entirely too unrealistic, we'll probably not see any 99% off deals. 0/10

I feel like I've seen bundlefodder style games that go for a buck do a 99 off sale before. But is that even possible any more? I thought I'd seen mention that Steam has implemented a minimum pricing policy to avoid people exploiting pricing errors.

Looking, Zenimax/Bethsada did a lot of price drops.

Evil Within 60 -> 20
Wolfenstein 60 -> 20
Morrowind 20 - 15
Obvilion 20 -> 15
ESO 50 -> 40
Hunted, Call of Chutulu, etc 10 -> 5


If Morrowind and Oblivion get that 75% off, looks like I'll be able to kill off more of my physical collection.

Nice. Same here, if Oblivion and especially Morrowind hit 75% off, I'm buying them.

On Steam? They were, both games in fact. Unless you're making a joke about them being so bad that you'd rather pretend they don't exist, in which case I'd say that's strange given that many people seem to like XIII-2 more than the first one, so it'd make more sense to disregard the former (even though that would be a big mistake).

Close. I was making a joke about the game XIII.


  • Narrative driven
  • Episodic
  • Based on a comic licence
  • Cell Shading

A game flopped because it was twelve years ahead of its time.

Till steam is down, yes

Anyway, happy sale everyone. hope you get what you want for a wallet-friendly prices

As a completionist i will aim mostly for DLCs that throughout the year locked new achievements behind paywall, like goat sim, this war of mine, the detail, rocket league, payday 2, postal 2, gas guzzlers, hare in the hat, bridge constructor, euro truck sim 2.. well, theres more than bunch
But i bet theres some fun content in those as well. And its definitely nice that if properly discounted i could actualy buy them all just with the money i earned from selling trading cards. not_bad.jpg
Aaand if there's any moneys left, i'll probably finally impulse buy Memoria. the wait for some bundle with it was long enough and frankly Daedalic deserve some funds

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
So I believe I've shored up Enhanced Steam's servers to the point that they (hopefully) won't completely fail when the sale goes live. As of right now Enhanced Steam has had 3,138,659 downloads, which is absolutely mind-boggling to me.


I want to thank everyone here for helping to spread the word, and also proactively apologize in the event that the servers start melting in a few minutes.

It's quite sad, but the first thing I thought when watching it is "well... replace those high numbers with 33 and 50 for a start".

Wow, thought you just posted an old graph. Crazy to see it still rising steadily even now. Good job.
 
Take the car out with the dog (the buggy) and go to the areas marked as mines and follow the dog barking to remove mines. You can also use his barking to find unmarked mine fields.
Yep, Dinki-Di (man, that in-game pronunciation is still so jarring months afterwards) is a genuinely uncanny little landmine compass - he literally turns in the back of the buggy to face toward the nearest mine (and his bark changes to signal one is (dangerously!) close).
Alright, thanks folks. I didn't care too much but then realized some upgrades are behind Level 0 threat, so I need to clear mines after all.
Are we locking this thread up for the sale?
No reason to believe it won't get locked since it did all past sales.
Few more before the sale
Wow, those are some nice spares you have lying around.
Just like Steam GOG has removed a number of games for German customers.

This kind of censorship sucks.
I have too many backlogged Steam games (yes, having a big backlog is offputting to me), so will try to be very particular about buying games this time around. Maybe after finishing another 40 Steam games, I'll get more gung-ho. Miss having extra free time to play games for hours ...
This year I finished the highest amount of games I can remember.
Tomb Raider 13, Rise of TR, Arma 3, Swapper, Dark Souls 3, Mad Max, Unepic, Dead Rising 2, Mafia II, Gone Home, Far Cry Blood Dragon, Deadlight, Lifeless Planet, Alien Isolation. 14, that's a lot and even more when you take into account that many of them are dozens of hours per game.
And yet, I still have tons of great games in my backlog, so I agree with you. Unless it's a heck of a deal, I'm not gonna get much for myself.

If you're using AWS ELB, there is a method to prewarm the ELB to be able to ramp up just before the sale.

It's looking that way, yeah. I wonder what happened. When GOG Connect first launched, they had a "best of GOG Connect" weekend bundle that had a ton more games in it, which I guess I assumed would be the next round of games on the service. Stuff like Saint's Row and the rest of the Broken Sword games.
It isn't static. It is a system in place through which publishers make (with goading from GOG) limited-time offers to get GOG versions of games on your Steam account. I think people were confused and thought that you only personally had a limited time from the moment you sync to redeem the matches it finds, but it is actually a limited time on which games are being offered the chance for anyone.

So it's best not to think of it as a vault that gets expanded, but a new format of sale. In the future they will have different games and your chance at redeeming those will be time-limited as well. I think this may be to prevent people from seeing that something they don't have is on the Connect program and then waiting around until a Steam sale happens. GOG probably doesn't personally give a shit about that, but publishers generally charge a bit more on GOG and have their own reasoning behind it.

Between how boring the E3 demo looked, how bad the game graphically looks and how there are PC screenshots out there, it becomes incredibly hard to not cancel my PS4 preorder and wait for the steamrelease.

Sharpen your pitchforks so you can go and poke jshackles when Steam Sale starts :D Just kidding :D

This sale for me will probably only be good for collecting Sale badge and selling duplicate cards so i can buy cards i need for other badges xD

I don't see why you would be concerned with how it looks, considering what we've seen of gameplay so far, looks are totally fine in comparison.

I wouldn't mind picking up the FF XIII trilogy if it was cheap I suppose. I have them all on PS3 still, which is probably why I haven't picked them up yet.

Trails games would be nice too, although I have the first one on Vita along with Danganronpa.

Basically I'm looking to move my JPRG collection to Steam.

Looking at my license history to scope out past sales.

I bought Psychonauts on January 28, 2010, and still haven't finished it.

One day Tim Schafer. One day.
