Have 3 10% off toki tori 2+ coupons add me on steam! http://steamcommunity.com/id/artsncrafts/

Are those from Humble Bundle? if so, how did you reclaim those?

 

[Madrugador]

This is not true at all. Runs fine on my AMD card.

What card do you have? I use a HD 7870 and the game definitely runs worse than it should.

 

[derExperte]

I forgot, do Flash Sales show up again at the end of the sale? Or if I see something on the Flash Sale I need t pick it up right then?

There's no 'here are all the flash sales again' thing at the end. But they'll show up as daily deals or again as flash sales if everything works like the last few times.

HB? People are getting those randomly through Steam.

 

[Shadowhaxor]

Woke up and saw my last Metro LL order canceled. Steam sale is over. RIP.

I ended up getting 1 code and I gave it away. All my cancelled orders simply say there was an issue and now it's sold out online. Screw you Bestbuy! You messed up and won't honor your shit.

 

[YianGaruga]

There's no 'here are all the flash sales again' thing at the end. But they'll show up as daily deals or again as flash sails if everything works like the last few times.

That happens for all games, except for the one you really want.

 

[Gbraga]

It'll probably show up again, but not for cheaper, if that's what you're worried about, so you can grab them if you want.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

I know nothing about how graphics cards compare to each other so can someone tell me how will SR3 run on my iMac with an AMD 6770M?

 

[jshackles]

Hey everyone. Looks like the Enhanced Steam server beefed up considerably overnight, and the server move is done. If anyone is still having problems with any of the API calls, let me know (pricing history not showing, etc)

We'll see how it holds up in a few more hours when everything gets crazy.

 

[Lenz44]

Woke up, got Brave New World. We are off to a very good start today.

 

[JaseC]

Are those from Humble Bundle? if so, how did you reclaim those?

If you bought the bundle and are owed the coupons, try restarting Steam. This did the trick for me.

 

[arts&crafts]

No I woke up this morning and had 4 coupons in my inventory. Not sure where they came from, havent even crafted a summer badge yet.

 

[DietRob]

I've finally gotten around to fleshing out my wish list.

Also:
Are there any good casino sims on Steam. I want to get good at playing Craps in particular but would love a nice overall casino simulation.

 

[Kipp]

Well guys, I've played Scribblenauts for 3 hours now since picking it up with a bit of skepticism last night. Highly recommended. That game is boatloads of fun. Plus, after selling all the cards I got from it, it only cost like $3.50.

 

[chronomac]

You can choose between them.

I meant you, personally. Which did you find more comfortable?

 

[JaseC]

No I woke up this morning and had 4 coupons in my inventory. Not sure where they came from, havent even crafted a summer badge yet.

I think Two Tribes may have sent them out to everybody who owns Toki Tori, or at least one Two Tribes game. I didn't redeem any of the keys from the HBW myself as I already owned the games.

 

[More_Badass]

Yeah I recommended it over Chivalry in on of your topics. If you prefer singleplayer then Warband is definitely the best fit for you of those, I'm not a fan because I'm not good with open worlds and such but you can make huge armies and siege castles and perform in tournaments and do political stuffs and all kinds of fun stuff with Mount and Blade's singleplayer.

When you try the MP just keep in mind you probably won't do very well at first (depending on if there are a lot of newbs in the server with you), but if you keep at it you'll get a lot better at the combat and it becomes extremely satisfying after a while! Also, for MP, switch to manual blocking or you're screwed lol. I haven't done SP in a while so not sure if its better to have auto blocking for that, since the NPCs hit a lot faster but have more predictable attacks that the computer blocks more easily.

Well thanks for your recommendation. Can't wait to go all Braveheart on my enemies lol

And the game has RTS elements right? You can command your forces, formations, etc.?

Hey, how the hell did you get member statues so quick? I've made nearly 500 posts over nearly 3 months and I'm still a junior, and you post 100 posts and and barely a week later you're a full member?!

 

[shandy706]

Is Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale worth $8?

That's 60% off.

I don't buy many games like that, but it has me really intrigued for some reason.

Is it possible it will hit 75%?

 

[mclem]

Is football manager a good game for people who don't actually like football?

This may sound dumb but I really like sim or management games so it may still be for me? Do I need to know teams or anything like that? (I do know the basic rules of the game?)

Now, this is dancing around the subject a bit, because I've not played Football Manager. However:

When I was younger, I didn't like football much. I still enjoyed playing management sims. I do enjoy football more now (by no means obsessive, but I keep up with the national team matches), but - conversely - I don't think I've played a sim since. So... yeah. I think what I'm basically saying is that you can get enjoyment out of the mechanics of the simulation without necessarily needing to enjoy football, but I would add that it'd probably help to have a passing understanding of the sport.

Excellent game. Just wait until the last day of the sale. If it doesn't hit more than 60% off, buy it then.

Yes, I'd say the possibility is fairly high. Wait.

It's had a deeper discount during past sales, so I'd wait.

Edit: Kindasorta beaten.

Civ 5 for $7.50 or Civ 5 Gold Edition for $12?

 

[KiraFA37]

Oh god, I've never played a PC game until last week and I just impulse bought like 5 games. Valve, what have done!

Remember the golden buying rules during steam sales, don't buy unless it's a special deal (daily, flash) or the last day. Got Civilization 5 Gold for a tenner.

 

[Deques]

So whatever happened to that guy yesterday that kept getting all the games from Modbot and being arrogant? He eventually get banned?

I missed that, what happened?

Carpe Fulgur games could be a flash sale.
If it hasn't been discounted on the last day you could still buy it, it's really good.

I shall wait then...I'm going to bite this time. I'll get it at $8 if it doesn't drop by the last day

No reason not to wait until the last day unless you're hard up to play it. It's a good game, though. I got about 15 hours of it and enjoyed it.

And yeah, if it never ends up on a daily it's worth $8

 

[JaseC]

Civ 5 for $7.50 or Civ 5 Gold Edition for $12?

Go for Gold. There's a ton of extra content.

 

[metalshade]

I'm amazed that people use AMD cards for anything other than Bitcoin mining these days.

You don't know much about videocards do you.
AMD are equal and sometimes better than nVidia when you consider price/performance these days.
And now, AMD have less driver issues than nVidia.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

I never played Crackdown, but I'd say it's more like that than GTA. It's awesome either way.

I don't care much for GTA and enjoyed SR3. It's definitely worth 5 bucks.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=69811621&postcount=9764

absolutely

YAY

for the love of god YAY

I never even played whored mode until the other night and ...yeah, I've been missing out. Its the cherry on the top of a redonkulous sundae.

I'd say yes

SR3 is about running around naked, delivering nutshots to civilians in furry suits and beating down luchador gangsters with a giant dildo

If that makes you chuckle, SR3 is for you

thanks, all.

Bought. first time purchasing from app. worked flawlessly.

 

[Amneisac]

Civ 5 for $7.50 or Civ 5 Gold Edition for $12?

Just the regular in my opinion, all the DLC you'd want to would be G&K and/or BNW. That being said, I'm thinking about getting the Gold Edition upgrade now, but I've logged over 80 hours in the game.

 

[More_Badass]

Hey, how the hell did you get member statues so quick? I've made nearly 500 posts over nearly 3 months and I'm still a junior, and you post 100 posts and and barely a week later you're a full member?!

Well I made started posting regularly in June, in the Last of Us Review Thread

Now I have over 1600 posts in about a month

 

[Nalsh]

Civ 5 for $7.50 or Civ 5 Gold Edition for $12?

I went with Gold - seems like a ton of content. Don't know a ton about Civ though, should be fun!

The offer ends at the end of the summer sale. I would wait until the end of the sale day to see if it comes down in price. If not, then grab it at the end of the sale day.

 

[Deleted member 59090]

What's with the typo in the thread title? WTF is Steam?

 

[Celegus]

I hope you wife is feeling better now and I hope it was nothing too serious fellow GAFfer.

Nah nothing serious at all, but thanks for the kind words!

 

[KiraFA37]

Civ 5 for $7.50 or Civ 5 Gold Edition for $12?

Get gold, it adds God & Kings and that goes for around 15 euros here so your getting an additional 66% off from the sales price.

 

[Nalsh]

Gold Edition includes G&K if I'm not mistaken

 

[JaseC]

Gold includes Gods & Kings, which is $15 on its own.

 

[Kipp]

Yeah, Salsa. Since when is there an "m" in "Stearn"?

 

[The_Monk]

Nah nothing serious at all, but thanks for the kind words!

Ah, good to know fellow GAFfer!


Also, this one is oldie but goodie:

 

[TheOohChild]

So far I have only bought E.Y.E.: Divine Cybermancy and the Psycho and Mechromancer DLC for BL2

 

[endresults]

Inbox is starting to look Steam sale-y...

 

[RionaaM]

Civ 5 turned me into a strategy fan.

I hope that's the case for me too, if I ever end up getting it.

 

[derExperte]

Did you develop something awesome like Enhanced Steam? If not there's your answer.

 

[MikeDip]

If you really like sim management it might not be that bad, but you will be expected to understand formations and pretty detailed soccer/football information as far as positions, attacking, defending, tactics, etc. I'd say no, you should avoid it if you don't like or understand soccer/football - but it's a well-made game.

Thanks man, saved me 10 bucks. A shame though, I've heard such good things but yeah, I have no idea about those tactics whatsoever.

 

[cashman]

Thanks, for the advice.

I've been tempted to jump at a few other games, but I'm not buying anything that's less than 75 percent off.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Ah, good to know fellow GAFfer!

Yup, love that one.
