So, now that steam refunded me the money from an earlier MGS Ground zeros purchase. wpould I be able to purchase it now at the lower price without them giving me the same key and it not be able to activate? My refund won't be available for up to 7 days and I'll miss out on the $4.99 price point.

Still waiting for a decent sale on might & magic X.

Check out steam mover.

Easy to use and works really well for this. It's free too.

Thanks for this.

I was impatient and ended doing the copy the game files from one folder to the other one on the SSD, but will keep this one for future use.

I honestly don't even know why these people are bothering at this point. They've gone way past the point of sanity.

Edit: Also, Abyss Odyssey went on flash sale. WOO! I need my goddamned cards to start selling with a bit more haste.

The current highest is ~12mil and they are slowing down since they have achieved their goal for today. Now they are going down the ladder and boosting slower rooms to at least 1M so people get the latest badge.

 

[Wensih]

So there are only 2 more days left and then it's relisting for those who may have missed flash and earlier dailies right?

I just want to make sure because I'm wondering whether to plunge into Skyrim because my budget is about to be reached.

No. Ends the 21st. This is the 4th to last day.

 

[heringer]

So, Game of Thrones... yay or nay?

 

[frontovik]

I'd say nay. It's the weakest of all the TellTale titles available in terms of entertainment and writing; I'd recommend Wolf Among Us or Tales from the Borderlands instead.

 

[Ultimadrago]

So, Game of Thrones... yay or nay?

Nay. Grab Tales from the Borderlands when you feel the time is right. Much better thought out adventure in terms of pure entertainment (and with considerably better comedic writing than Borderlands itself).

 

[Unicorn]

How do you boost in the clicker game?

 

[L.O.R.D]

Is there a way to see other regions store? The ?/cc=us trick doesn't work anymore...wtf Valve???


s.

Yah , it's not working for me too

 

[Sch1sm]

What do you mean exactly?

 

[Wensih]

No. Ends the 21st. This is the 4th to last day.

But they typically don't have new sales on the last two days which would be the 20th and 21st, or do they usually do new sales up until the 21st and then they have an extra two days of old sales that people may have missed? I can't remember.

 

[Sendou]

They changed it so that it doesn't work a month or so back. JaseC or someone else probably has the specifics.

I think the last sales would be listed on the 20th and run until the 21st, then encore.

 

[unrealist]

How is Banished? It reminds me of Settlers in a mini colony/village kind of way

 

[| Praxis |]

Shit! Didn't notice Door Kickers when it was on offer. Missed it.

Trying to be frugal and only spend $30. Which should I jump on? Also is it likely the not-on-sale items will go on sale later?

I enjoy story-driven games; I enjoyed Portal 2 for its puzzles while the humor was secondary, which leads me to think I shouldn't choose Stanley Parable.


On sale:
Thomas Was Alone ($5)
Stanley Parable ($7.50)
Ori and the Blind Forest ($16)
Kentucky Route Zero ($12.50)
Gone Home ($2.40)
Papers, Please ($5)
Banner Saga ($5...not now but will likely come again)
Tales of Borderlands ($12.50)
Broken Age [GOG] ($8.50)


Not on sale:
Life is Strange ($20)
Planescape [GOG] ($10)

I've only played Thomas Was Alone out of all of those, and if you're looking for puzzles over humor and story, I'd be wary. It's a neat game, but not what I'd call overly challenging when it comes to the platforming.

Thomas Was Alone has been cheaper. It's good fun. I enjoyed that game a lot. Spent about 5 hours, leisure play. No rush, no hunt for achievements, etc. Vlad's right about it, though.

Stanley Parable you're right about. While it's another game I enjoyed, it wasn't much of a puzzler. It was all humour and narration, like a story that you could stray away from to multiple endings. You could finish the normal run in less than 5 minutes, there's an achievement for it and everything. I'd hold, also. It may drop down to $5, too, but it's one that can wait. Did in the last winter sale, and the last summer sale.

Papers, Please -- you missed the flash for that, maybe wait on it. Could come up in encore.

Kentucky Route Zero isn't complete yet. Two more acts still on the way in the next year, three complete. Current flash, though, so cheap as it's going to get for now. I'd hold.

I've done this twice with other games during the sale and it worked fine.

 

[texhnolyze]

If it didn't have a discount of some sort from the get-go, then probably not.

Shocking..

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Is there any good twin stick shooter on sale ?

 

[Shizuka]

I don't think Grisaia will get any cheaper, it released just before the sale started.

I think there's enough room to drop to 50% during a flash deal, knowing Sekai Project. Either way, I can wait until the last day if I have, so no biggie.

 

[Dusk Golem]

DreadOut is $3.74 right now.

If you are looking for a good, creative, older-school styled horror game, give DreadOut a try. It's an Indonesian indie game stylized after Fatal Frame. While it doesn't look the best and has a few technical bumps, as well as some hammy (I'd say enjoyably so) acting, it makes up for it in sheer creativity, execution, and atmosphere. Full of all sorts of ideas during its 4-6 hours course, as well as stock-full of secrets.

Get it! Great fatal frame style horror with a unique mythology twist!

Luftrausers was a flash sale but it's over already unfortunately :/

 

[Cromat]

What's a fairly cheap game with good writing? Have been very busy lately so couldn't really play much of anything.

 

[MrNelson]

What are the impressions on Please, Don't Touch Anything? It looks pretty interesting, and I'm thinking about biting at $2.49.

Fun little game, don't expect more than an hour or so of gameplay out of it though.

Guys, is the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion GOTY Deluxe edition worth it over the plain GOTY edition?

 

[LurkerPrime]

Some mods will probably depend on those DLCs, so you're pretty much forced into the Deluxe GotY. It getting a lower discount than the regular GotY edition is scummy as heck.

Bethesda sinks to new lows every day.

 

[Wensih]

I think the last sales would be listed on the 20th and run until the 21st, then encore.

So looking into past sales, it seems the last two days of the sale are the encore sale.
http://store.steampowered.com/news/15308/
http://store.steampowered.com/news/?enddate=1420099200

The last Holiday sale was December 18th-Janurary 2rd, and the encore sale started December 31st.

So I think the 20th and 21st will be encore sales, unless something has changed.

I guess the Deluxe it is.

Is Morrowind still worth it these days? Never played it!

 

[metalmonstar]

It is a shame that Elder Scrolls Online didn't go on sale.

Am I the only one who thought this thread was about playing short games then getting a refund on them?

 

[StrangeTaco]

I guess the Deluxe it is.

It's a good game, I will not say that it's aged all that well.

 

[Ricerocket]

Sigh, I had the deus ex collection thing in my cart this morning at -80% and now it's -50% after work. :/

 

[Sch1sm]

Ah. You're right. Encore is the 20th. Still means 2 more dailies and 4 flash, though. Time. Tiiiime. Faith.

If it comes back for encore, you should. It was in my top 5 for last year. Enjoyed it thoroughly.

 

[Wensih]

Haha, I have a list of games to finish out my budget, but I've spent a pretty penny this sale.

 

[Unicorn]

What do you mean exactly?

How are people breaking that level 40,000 badge and going even further to the multi-million levels in the game? When I played, we struggled to get to 2k in 24 hours lol

 

[leng jai]

Wow just finished the tutorial of Stick Of Truth and already laughed out loud several times. Glorious game.
