Valkyria Chronicles!
Old News. They're doing their trilogy regardless.
Even King had to see that not even a idiot would confuse a strategy game with vikings with Candy Crush.

For those on the fence about CoD:BO2 for 19.99, you also get a free copy of WaW. So you can think of it as 14.99 for BO2 and 4.99 for WaW (if you don't already own it!).
Anno 1404 doesn't use tages anymore?
What about Dawn of Discovery?
And what about Anno 2070?
1404 IS Dawn of Discovery.
I have a funny feeling it was patched out of Anno 2070 in one of the later patches. Don't quote me on that though.
Ah , did not really follow that story , glad it got resolved
in that case ill buy it .
I know 1404 is Dawn of Discovery, but they're two different Steam Registry entries, and I since Ubisoft is Crazy and only discounted one of them, I wonder if they're the same builds.
Both Anno 1404 and Dawn of Discovery were patched. 2070 is TAGES-free but still uses Uplay.

Not at all, have barely been tempted by the Steam Sales this year. Only thing that's been vaguely interesting for me was Dadliest Catch.
it's been a recurring feeling for a while now.

Hum, should I buy South Park on Steam or pay a bit more to get Lara Croft with it at Uplay (even though I'll probably never play it).
Difficult decision...

So... because Anno 1404 is called Dawn of Discovery in NA, it's 40% off and not 75% off?
Fucking ubi.
Fucking ubi.
I've yet to buy anything, but I've seen great deals nevertheless.
What did you expect precisely from a Steam sale?
Technically the Uplay and Steam-integrated Uplay versions of Ubi games are separate apps, but, yeah, there's no getting around the Uplay requirement.
I am feeling a little better. I was beginning to think that it was me.
I mean don't get me wrong there are some decent sales, and some neat things, but I remember my first Steam sale, Summer 2011, I had just started creeping back in to PC gaming and was sidelined with illness and surgery, and there were some sick deals. Like ridiculous deals on indie games and big games etc. So that got me going, but I am either at a saturation point, or just not easily impressed, or a combination of a lot of stuff.
I wonder if Valve has to be thinking the effectiveness of all these sales is wearing thing, I mean with mid week deals, weekend deals, multiple large seasonal sales etc. I am being programmed to wait, and then wait some more.
it's all about what you have really
wasn't very happy with todays but thats because I already have the ones i'm most interested in today
pretty happy so far overall,might & magic X and banner saga fell to prices I was happy with and picked up a couple other things on the side
Its always written there third party DRM uplay account required
I think I missed the Might and Magic deal. Damn. What was it?
Get it on Uplay and sell Lara Croft to me
Inferior name gets an inferior discount. Sorry.
As anyone who experienced plenty of sales, you're both used to them and already own most of what you need (maybe lacking some recent releases, like me, thus waiting for their price to drop more).
Add to that that in 2011 there weren't all these bundles and alternative stores and stuff.
But just look at it from the point of view of a new user, or (from my standpoint) someone who actually spends more than 3€ on a game: this sale is just great.
EDIT: also, I feel we all easily remember previous deals to be better than what they actually were.
I gave a look to my Steam purchases history in my mailbox, and fuck me, I've spent A LOT in stuff I couldn't even play with my old rig.
75% off
wasn't featured but there was a franchise thing along with the might & magic heroes 6 feature a couple days ago

Thanks. Game is called Dawn of Discovery and it's only 40% off.
What would happen if you were gifted Anno 1440 which is 75% off in the UK?
Your account would get banned!

Its been like that for 2 years now, maybe longer but definitely 2 years minimum. But hwy, this is the cheapest south park has ever been so that's awesome and I'm happy about that at least.
He'd be very happy I bet

There have been very good deals, I already own most of the stuff I am interested in but this is an entirely different matter.
Also, don't forget than in less than a month there's the Winter sale that is supposed to be much bigger, I reckon this mini-sale is just a teaser of the things to come.
Darn, and with Enahnced steam getting boogered it makes it harder to look at stuff... Oh well maybe it will come back. I would have bought it at that price.

The physical form of blasphemy
Survived 5 days dodging wolves and surviving the harsh climate, only to fall into a lake and drown. Feels bad. I set up a nice little home as a base that had enough supplies to make it to 10 days, easily.
Is The Forest good? Seems like the creep factor is high as hell.
Is The Forest good? Seems like the creep factor is high as hell.
I'm finding a lot of deals I'm interested in, but have bought very little since I know I can only beat a few more games between now and the Winter Sale, where things will likely be reduced even further.
We've just sobered up from sales by now. Our backlogs have grown over the years, thanks to unlimited key generation there are great deals to be found on sites like GMG, Nuuvem or Qmwzon all over the year, we've experienced the blessings of RU trading and last but not least there's a new bundle coming out every other day. Without those alternatives and a vastly smaller catalog of games the first sales had everyone go crazy, bagging everything just because it was 75% off. Now it's just a routine and titles you don't want to play immediately can simply wait until the next deal.
I'm sure anyone new to digital distribution on PC would enjoy the current sales just as much as we did in the early days.

I don't share the complaints/disappointment (that get brought up every sale no matter how good the offers objectively are). While I haven't bought a ton Rome II, M&M X, Long Dark and Evil Within alone are at least 100hrs worth of gameplay. I also already forgot that I grabbed TRI: Of Friendship and Madness. Yep, it's a real Steam sale alright.
How do you expect them to organise a prison break without ramming a few things?
I'm so sorry, I'll show myself out
No silly what I'm saying is that you can buy Dragon Age: Origins vanilla and Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate and have two versions in your account. What I was pointing out to NingenJanai was that while they own the Ultimate edition but not the vanilla version that the deals page, because it has the vanilla version as the spotlight it doesn't show up as owned.
To further compound the craziness I was also mentioning what EA even do on their own store, Origin (not Origins hehehe), which you'd have thought they would take a bit more care of...
Which you can see Dragon Age: Origins Digital Deluxe despite having less content than the Ultimate edition is actually £2.50 more.
yeah I was actually new to steam when the summer sale rolled around and ended up dropping a couple hundred bucks on it easy
And I think this is the other thing, I look at what I have installed and think, yeah I should play through these first.
I guess I just want to see that one thing or that one deal that makes me stop, find some extra money and say I need that. That to me is what the steam sale used to be about, were you see something you can't refuse.
You can still get the Deluxe version of Might and Magic X - Legacy at wingamestore.com for $6 right now

Trying out a stream on hitbox @ 60fps for The Evil Within.
I'm on chapter 4 in case you're worried about spoilers.
