How does Steam handle it when you own JUST DLC and not the vanilla game?

I'm seriously considering buying the Skyrim DLC, then waiting until the game goes on sale on another site for less.

 

[Everdred]

Is GRID 2 good/worth? Dirt 2 is practically the only Codemasters racing game I liked. Also played Showdown a little bit, which was just bad.

Excellent game, great handling. Biggest downfall is the lower player count online.

I've never owned a Valve game. Did I do well?

Not if you still lack their best games, aka Portal 1 & 2.

 

[tamaster92]

Still can't buy anything :/ I wanna get RR:U for 75% off!

 

[Mairu]

whatchu know 'bout that STEAM MOBILE APP

Yeah, that actually seems to be more reliable than the site itself sometimes- but I can't watch the thread like a hawk for price mistakes (and free games...) like I would've been able to at my old job

 

[Facism]

I would consider editing that post before a mod sees it.

Was it really that bad of a post

You'd want to stay out of the Football thread in community if you think what i wrote was banworthy, mate. Just excited that steam wants me money after playing so many mindgames with me

I've heard GRID is better and GRID 2 doesn't have a cockpit view

Buy the last remnant

 

[stressboy]

I bought FTL, I've only seen the trailer on the steam page and i have no idea what to expect really.

Expect endless frustration that will keep you coming back for more. I still haven't beaten it after 30 hours... yes I suck.

 

[DrTeflon]

Voted Dishonoured, Already own B2 and FC3 doesn't interest me much.

Expect an amazing game

 

[Conciliator]

Yessss, it's already half off, I'm hoping it hits five dollars by the end of the sale.

that's good enough for me, i'm already in.

 

[Nags]

Store seems to be working fine in big picture mode!

 

[-tetsuo-]

It's a 4X like Civilization. If you can play Civ you are fine with Endless Space. It's not too complex, but does some interesting stuff (the combat especially). The only thing you need to get used to compared to Civ is what the different technologies to, but there are tooltips of course.

Have you played Sins of a Solar Empire? Preference between the two?

 

[Smash88]

I want to do Gunslinger and Endless Space: Disharmony DLC. But I can't justify $20, when I can probably get FarCry 3 or Tomb Raider for that price which easily outclass these two items.

Buy it as a gift, store it in your inventory and when you get the base game activate it to your account, if you're really worried about something messing up. Shouldn't make a difference.

 

[Deraldin]

Will monaco get any lower? A mere $5 off?

It's only 33% off. Wait for a daily deal. It'll probably go 50% off at least.

 

[usea]

Buy the last remnant

Don't listen to this person! Mega awful game.

Actually at that price, just get it and decide for yourself Maybe you'll like it.

 

[Overdoziz]

Bought Don't Starve, McPixel, Bastion, Super Hexagon and To The Moon.
Should be good!

 

[PBalfredo]

[Timedog]

Is there a point to getting the counter strike package instead of just CSGO? Does anyone even play those other games anymore?

 

[Ichabod]

Wait, you bought the bundle...the one that comes with Dragon Age 2?

Welcome to Bioware's Downfall 101

Lol, nonono, just DA1 Ultimate. I've heard enough word of mouth to avoid DA2.

 

[sibarraz]

I had this theory than everyday new games will get cards

70 hour rpg for 3$.

Criminally underrated

 

[kami_sama]

Thanks Polk for The Maw!

 

[John Caboose]

Awesome image

 

[Aitor]

damn McPixel cards are now less than 15 cents

 

[Arulan]

I've never played a strategy game (except for Halo Wars but let's be serious here) and I'm on the fence about getting one. I've always been interested in the genre but something just keeps holding me back

what's a good game to start off with? i know something is bound to go on sale so might as well take a chance on something

Well, in preparation for Total War: Rome II you could try the original, Total War: Rome.

Here is some gameplay of Total War: Rome II to give you an idea:

Depends if you want turn-based or real-time. For the former, I'd suggest Civ 5 and XCOM: Enemy Unknown--both of which should be discounted to some degree in the sale.

 

[Cheddahz]

Ok, good

I was worried there for a minute

 

[Thorgal]

So i finally downloaded infinite . have my drink close by and hit play.

I voted Dishonored too because the FC3 discount wasn't that great and obviously BL2 has been on sale forever (also I own all three and a lot of people here seem to want Dishonored), but Far Cry 3 is an amazing game. Better than Dishonored in many ways.

Can't you buy it as a gift and send it to your email? then just sit on it in your inventory until you want to add it to your library?

 

[Alien Bob]

I had this theory than everyday new games will get cards

It's a pretty good theory

 

[Darkroronoa]

Hmm i wonder how low summer getaway cards are gonna fall in price after people start getting them from community votes.
Are there any drops from crafting summer badges except backgrounds and emoticons?

 

[Overdoziz]

No, but it's a fun 3 hour ride.

Not on FUBAR.

I am giving away a Steam key for Cave Story Plus. To enter this giveaway, send a PM to ModBot with any subject line and copy the key line below into the body of the PM.

Rules for this Giveaway:

restart Steam, worked for me.

 

[JBourne]

Everyone is using this site to check out all the deals, right? http://steamdb.info/sales/

 

[Casimir]

And, honestly, I don't know what that means. This thread is MOVING, though.

EDIT: Re-read OP. Still confused.

ModBot is a script made by Stumpokapow. Basically, you pm the 'user' Modbot with steam cd-keys you want to give away. You can set restrictions on who can and cannot 'win' the games. Then ModBot generates a post with custom codes linked to the steam cd-keys for you to post in this thread. Users who qualify send a PM to modbot with the custom code from your ModBot post. Modbot then determines if that user is eligible for the code. If they are, Modbot sends them the steam cd-key.

 

[weevles]

Do I buy Infinite now for $30 or wait until it's eventually $5...

 

[Rafy]

Here goes

says I won, but I got no PM.
Thanks very much though

 

[Scotch]

Is there a point to getting the counter strike package instead of just CSGO? Does anyone even play those other games anymore?

Oh yeah. For a while there CSGO was the least popular of the three. Although it seems to be picking up now thanks to all the sales.

 

[Zom]

I just bought endless space for $ 11, now I just going to buy games for 1 or 2$ or my wallet is going to explode

 

[Ultryx]

So excited!
