Another day of not so exciting deals for me. Not because they are all that bad, but just nothing I need again. I probably would have caved on The Secret World if it was 75% off though.
I think Steam have really put on some good deals compared to their last big sale. I've managed to get most of my initial Top 5 wishlist so far at some really nice prices.
My haul so far:
The Swapper
Torchlight 2
Deadlight
System Shock 2
Nimbus
I Am Alive
Tomb Raider
Darksiders 2
Cave Story
To The Moon
Antichamber
My new Top 5:
Joe Danger 1 and 2
Trials Evolution
Adventures of Van Helsing
Street Fighter x Tekken
Rayman Origins

Serious Sam collection worth getting? I've only played a couple of them, they seem fun but 10 games for $10 is pretty tempting especially if they're actually okay.
Huh, interesting. Thank you.
That is indeed the game I was referring to. I just couldn't remember the full name of the game.

I have $10.21 left in my wallet from selling cards, and these are the games I'm watching for deals on. Should I just pull the trigger on MotN and SD (base game only), or wait? I sort of really want Rogue Legacy, but it's so new that I don't think it'll drop.
Rogue Legacy
Shadow Warrior Redux
Mark of the Ninja
Sleeping Dogs
Dust
Don't Starve

Yeah, ended up buying it along with 2 pieces of Sleepy Dawgs DLC. Hope I enjoy it!

It's kinda crazy that out of all the games i've gotten so far, 8 in total, the most "expensive" were only $5. Those were Scribblenauts and Borderlands. I'm eyeing Mark of the Ninja now.

I would like to thank Sorral for the Salsa Crashers code he gave me

.gunpoint was a flash sale (or community vote?) so it'll be a daily

Same with Monaco, I think.

Wasn't Monaco a flash sale yesterday? Or was it an unsuccessful community vote I can't remember.

Do it.
Unsuccessful community vote-

Yeah, Monaco and Gunpoint both lost but I'm pretty sure that means they'll come up as flash sales anyway - I hope so at least.

Gunpoint and monaco were unsuccessful community votes IIRC

I've played a little bit. I think I bought the game during the Christmas sale, but it didn't hold my attention.
Edit: and there's the final card! 4.8hrs!
So I loved Pinball FX2 on the 360, but I was thinking of buying it on steam as well, so I can play it while having streams up.
So two questions for the people who have it on steam.
Does it work well in windowed mode? Are there enough resolution options?
I only have one screen, so I'd like to have it on one side of the screen, as I like to have the stream taking up the left half.
And I haven't played any boards outside of the core pack, which other ones are good?

Killing Floor. Yay or Nay?

Get Mark of the Ninja. If you like stealth games then it is a must. $3.50 is almost criminal given how much enjoyment I got out of that game.

Hmmmm, Interesting stealth edit
Yeah same with Gunpoint. Bought both regardless - they're great games btw.

So I haven't played DMC since the first one for PS1 and I had a hard time with it since I'm just not good enough to play it well. How is the newest game in the series for someone like me? Is it still worth getting even though me being a shit hack and slash player?

Steam had a long update this morning for me.
I just turned it on again, and it's updating. 71mb

Just out of curiosity, if we missed a deal sometime during the sale, it will be back during the last day or two for the finale, right?
I missed Dragon Age: Origins and a few other things in the first few days of the sale because that was before I knew that was as low as they'd go and was just wondering if I'd have a chance to get them again for the same price at the end. Thanks!

It's ok. How many friends do you have that play it regularly and how long do you find shooting endless monsters fun? Also, probably not a popular opinion around here but the actual shooting in Killing Floor doesn't feel very good.
Yeah, I've updated twice today as well.
Was going to post another gif of Kaylee but saw I was already beaten to the punch. Didn't realize those posts were still selected.

Sale still has a week to go, if it doesn't show up as a flash sale, community choice or daily between now and then it's likely to be in the final blowout.

You can download the game itself for free and sample all the boards for a time, so you check out and see if everything's to your liking.
It's all about those satisfying head pops.

Haha, i see
even when I got the game through the best buy thing, im still dumbfounded at having to pay $5 for ranger mode. That's the way I was thinking of playing
Metro is that good? Stupid Best Buy....

Super Quick BL2 DLC Review:
Captain Scarlett's Booty: 6 hours to complete, some decent humor, very run-of-the-mill Borderlands gameplay/quests
Mr. Torgue's: 5 hours to complete, again some decent humor, some forced. A few annoying quests, but some very cool environments and better bosses.
Hammerlock: 6 hours to complete, a lot of annoying quests, annoying enemies, not a lot of good humor, easily the worst one out of the four and pretty much just a fucking chore. Avoid this one.
Tiny Tina: 10 hours to complete. Great story, lots of great humor, lots of great quests, LOTS of references to other games. Lots of great boss fights. Highly recommended, some of the best Borderlands content in the entire franchise.

I really, really want to play the game on ranger mode, but I absolutely will not pay money for a difficulty setting. I also find it somewhat laughable that ranger mode isn't on sale right now.

I would gladly pay $5 for ranger mode had I got the game for $0.01
im no Borderlands 2 lover, a lot of the stuff irks me and rubs me the wrong way, but I played through the whole campaign in SP.
I have the season pass and all the content since day 1, but im still waiting to play through them in co-op, since while I still had fun alone, I feel like I should play it as it's meant to be played to SOME capacity.
im not saying I wont, precisely cause I got it for $0.01, I just think it's incredibly stupid.
in other words, gaf is full of masochists.
What???
NOPE
I know opinions but just no
On a side note, Incredipede needs to be a daily. It would have been 80% off if the community voted for it
