It's not gonna happen. The game has been in the Top 10 most sold games in Steam for like 5 months or something at full price. At most it might have a 25% discount but that's pushing it I think.

Knew it (talking about GTA V)

Monster game keeps freezing(Clicks still happen, but no subtraction of their life) and when I refresh all upgrades are gone but the coins have still been taken so I'd hold off on upgrades.

Sale is only good for 12 hours. Then the next flashes come in and the previous ones prices are updated upwards.

Ahh thank you. So daily are full 24, I am waiting on Ys, the ps one Final fantasies, and wolfenstein.

I wait until the end of the sale for the best price unless daily or flash correct?

Hahahaaha.
After nearly an hour of trying, Chroma Squad was straight-up pulled out of my shopping cart.

Now I hear the price has been fixed.

Oye.

Processing time for the refund would never get it done in time to rebuy during a flash or daily. C'mon now.

It's a hassle, but what would stop me from say buying Game A while it's 20%, refunding it, and buying Game A again while it's a daily. When I buy it as a daily I add it to my inventory instead. Eventually the refund happens and I keep my gift copy for the cheaper price right?

I would ilke to buy valkyria chronicles. never played a game like that and most people say it's pretty good.

But is the PC version of it legit? No problems with Windows 7? Or my AMD GPU?

Some questions about Don't Starve:

Exactly what type of game is it? Rather, how does it play? I read the bullet points, watched the trailer, but I still can't really tell. How does combat and stuff work?

And if I buy the base game and Reign of Giants pack now, it seems like I'll get the multiplayer (Together) when it comes out for free? Then is the only point of buying Don't Starve Together right now is to play the early access version and get a bonus copy?
Click to expand...

I haven't played it since the initial Early Access release, and I am aware that Klei have added massive amounts of content to the game.

You essentially survive on a randomly generated island by collecting food, avoiding the nighttime, and hunting/befriending/hiding from the native inhabitants.
Everything is done with one click of the mouse, collect berries with a click, attack a giant spider with a click, etc. Combat is interesting as they have animation frames, so you dodge their attack, then come in for a quick poke of your own.

Not sure how the free Starve Together content works at this point.

Busy organizing my wishlist. Holding out for that GTAV deal. Saving fighting games for last, big single player games second, but the indies come first. Also, I feel stupid for not remembering that Killer Is Dead has been on PC...for a year! lol

Correct to both. Though to add: Dailies are 48 hours now. The previous dailies prices aren't updated (unless Valve has changed this AGAIN and went back to the old 24 hour system). The previous dalies prices won't be advertised but the prices will be good for the next day until the next store update (at 1PM EST).

Yes, daily and flash will be the best prices you see. If you dont see the game you want as one of those, then buy it on the last day while its still on sale at all.

For instance, Wolfenstein is 50% off right now, but I guarantee itll go on a daily deal for like 75% off

Well, I took a screenshot of it trying to add to cart at 85% off, then a screenshot of it in my cart at 10% off.

Will hit them up on twitter with it being false advertising later...lol.


(Chroma Squad that is.)

The PC version runs on a toaster. For $5 you aren't losing much cash if you don't like it. Go for it.

Actually, I think it's illegal what Rockstar did to GTA5?

Click to expand...

The end around here is that Rockstar created completely new sku 'bundles' to pump the MSRP of the game + the stupid microtransaction currency or the game + a game you probably own to claim to its new, inflated MSRP. They didn't bump the price of the core game (which you can't buy) so this is the loophole.

It's legal.

Scummy but legal.

And people will still buy GTA V

Works nicely on Win7, no idea about the AMD.

I know people are excited at getting Chroma Squad for so little, but it's somewhat sad as a backer of it that everyone is getting so bent outta shape that it's not at a mistaken price anymore.

It's worth it guys. Wait for a daily or flash and if not, just buy it. It's cheap and really good.

Finally got a purchase to go through after 40mins. At least the download isn't too terrible at 5mbps.

That sounds...kind of interesting? Maybe? I wish there was a demo so I could try it out. I'm not usually too fond of survival/crafting whatnot.
