The only game that is not discounted on the first page here is Alien Isolation, and I'm assuming that it's discount will pop-up eventually.
There's preorders in there that basically have their preorder discount (aka not really discounted), but I'm done discussing this.
If you like it, I'm happy for you.

Not really sure if it's an error, but Guacamelee Super Turbo Championship Edition is -87% for owners of the original Guacamelee right now.

and the 80% off on Sanitarium

edit: why is alone in the dark: the new nightmare only 60% off and not 75% off like its cousin >_>

Good news for Valkyria Chronicles

@SEGA: @RoboitoAM Valkyria supports 720p / 1080p, as well as higher resolutions depending on your max monitor resolution. 60FPS supported as well.

Why is this so unexpected?
It's Sega, and Sega kinda always treated PC well when porting.

Just got home, any price errors I missed?

Sanatarium was 85p or something, but I was too busy jumping at Valkyria which it turns out is actually cheaper on GmG, so I lost on all fronts. Also one of the Guacamelees is super cheap, not sure if error or just a good deal

If you owned Evil Within, Cthulu, and the Season pass before the sale check your inventory, just got a coupon that's good for 66 percent off Wolfenstein (or Skyrim/Dishonored GOTYs).

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.
are you using enhanced steam?i heard that it's updating with a 30 minute difference to avoid server problems

Only the price history stuff (and other things that are loaded from our API servers), not the store pages themselves though.

somehow I dont own painkiller black o_O

You might double check that. It was bundled previously with a different app ID. So if you have that version, it won't show you own it on the store page. Check your library.

Oh god, so good. I don't even wanna buy the games from the russians now. I buy it in my expensive EU I shop, because this port is worth it.
 
I won Vertical Drop Heroes HD from the dev here and feel obligated to tell you that it's a very good game. Even wrote my only review about it: http://steamcommunity.com/id/derExperte/recommended/311480/

I bought the game shortly after you originally posted your impressions. I have really enjoyed playing it and so have my sons. If anyone doesn't already have it the first tier in the humble weekly is definitely worth a purchase.

I know everyone is talking about the Evil Within season pass sale price, but holy heck, I only just noticed for the first time how expensive the main game itself is.

$77.79 CDN, reduced by 15% to $66.12 CDN. That's insane.

To clarify, I'm not griping about how the sale is only 15% (game just released after all), but how expensive the base price is.

Edit - oh wait, now I'm seeing that you can only buy it bundled with Cthulhu: Dark Corners, and that's what's making it so expensive? Double-weird.

ah ha! there it is, I knew I had it. Thanks shack, you saved me 0.99€

edit: Sanctum of Slime 1.99€? sure why not always wanted to try it, and it probably wont be bundled

For you.

From what i've seen on previous sales, this would still be the case if it was a banner-based sale.

Is Murdered: Soul Suspect good? It's 75% off

It's great and well worth it.

From what i've seen on previous sales, this would still be the case if it was a banner-based sale.
Okay, fine, one more.
They wouldn't be part of the "halloween2014 sale page", though, which is what this separate search laughably calls itself.
Also, I'm pretty sure Alien is just not going to be discounted.

No problem! I used to get that email a lot (that Enhanced Steam wouldn't highlight it even though it was in people's libraries) but I get it a lot less now that Steam itself doesn't show it correctly either.

I would have thought with their v6 update that they would be forced to clean up issues like this, but nope

Had dismissed the bundle after looking at the tiers and seeing Betrayer (the only game that kinda interested me) in one of the higher ones - I went back and bought the 1st tier after reading these posts.

Got gifted Guacamelee so I'm mega happy now! :D

So here is the usual humble stuff giveaway that's probably gonna plague the thread :p

Loved Knock-knock and Home, lovely little games (and very odd, in Knock-knock's case)!

Sanitarium 1,99$ = 4,79€. Sure...

I Am Alive looks tempting. Played trial on PS3 back in the day when it was released, totally forgot this game.

So how's Soul Reaver on PC? I've only played on PSX way back when, but dropped it for some reason and never got back to it (because my PSX broke).

That really bugs you, doesn't it? :s

Yes. Yes it does =p
It should at least 'collapse' DLC under games, and you know, not be broken as fuck, to just name 2 things.
As it stands, you can't see the forest for the trees and the "soft" color palette (instead of a clearly contrasting box) makes the discounts unclear too at first glance.

Sanitarium 1,99$ = 4,79€. Sure...
That's the cached price mistake US price.
