I can't even get into the Monster game. What is this shit?

I can't either. Glad I'm not the only one.

 

[Bel_Air_Jeff]

Buy everything today because you could die tomorrow.

I like this theory.
Give all your games away because ModBot.

[Rhomega Beta]

Waiting for a Daily on Elite: Dangerous. Sucks about GTA V.

Whoever posts at the top of the page needs to edit it in.

 

[Durante]

I suggest that everyone who doesn't have it yet buys Valkyria.

It's really that good.

[Shepard]

Wreckfest worth the price?

 

[Buttonbasher]

Why the hell isn't this on the OP?

Because Salsa didn't make the thread.

 

[Notor!ousG]

Dark Souls 2 is 50% off.

Is it possible it'll go any lower?
It's my first Steam sale so be gentle.

I'm really, really tempted but I have zero interest in Anime.
Will I still like it?

Well done on Papers Please and Don't Starve though, those games are awesome.

WAIT FOR THE DAILY

Yeah same here. I can probably go further and say I even dislike it.

If it isn't a daily or flash, it can always go lower.

 

[DXLelouch153]

unless its like 2-3$ like the Overlord games wait for the damn dailies

 

[Durante]

Depends on why you have zero interest in anime. The story is quite anime, no two ways about it.

In any case though, the gameplay alone easily holds up for the current asking price.

 

[Chance Hale]

 

[TheAutomator]

calma, some people want to play their games early

 

[CrispyGoomba]

Lol these steam sales noobs

Well if the gameplay holds up I'm in.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Will snag Valkyria when I get home. I'm tempted by the redux Homeland, too, but these days I'm getting much better at identifying games I will install, play for an hour, and then delete again for "when I have more time."

 

[MattyG]

Should I buy Homeworld right now?

 

[tycoonheart]

Metro Redux series, yes or no for 10 bucks? I have the original I picked up in last year's sale I think, but never played 'em.

Bro, do you even Steam Sale?

Should I buy Homeworld right now?

Go for it.

 

[Zombie James]

This game is completely broken. It'll work for for maybe four seconds and then it just stops and when you reload all the upgrades you bought have disappeared.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Don't let that shady deal stop you from getting Enemy Within. Then all you need to do is download the free Long War mod and you don't need to buy anything else until the winter sale rolls around.

But.... XCOM 2...

 

[Miker]

One of my favorite games, but if you aren't interested in survival rougelikes with very vague objectives, then you probably won't like this one.

Also looks like people missed out on the free Don't Starve Together if the FAQ is anything to go by. Of course, Klei forgot to remove the information from the Don't Starve page as well.

Thanks. It doesn't sound like my genre, so I'll pass. Love Invisible Inc, though, and everybody should pick that up if/when it goes on sale.

 

[Nabs]

Dark Souls 2 is 50% off.

Is it possible it'll go any lower?

Absolutely. Dark Souls 1 and 2 will most certainly be on the front page at some point.

[dhlt25]

damn why can't enemy within go on sale for a decent price, it's always the same price as the complete collection. I already have enemy unknown T_T

 

[Se7enSword]

Should I buy Homeworld right now?

 

[JaseC]

Hmm, I thought my new cards had restrictions but it apparently are old ones and no new one has a 7 day lock.

I decided to max out a cheap badge to check for myself. The restriction is there:

...but the expiration time isn't a week from now (it's currently 3:30am on the 12th here), so maybe that's as far it goes and cards dropped from badges thereafter will be unrestricted.

 

[elementalsin]

Man... Seems to me there is a lot of "I didn't read the OP" going on in here.

 

[Nzyme32]

I'm really, really tempted but I have zero interest in Anime.
Will I still like it?

I have next to no interest in Anime and often get put off by games that have that kind of style since I assume I will not like the game - this is not like that. It absolutely is a fantastic game. I glad people talked me into it. It's like a third person turn based Xcom with a bit of story to it. Once you get over that kind of Anime expectation and get to play the game, it is brilliant

 

[Nyoro SF]

Well if the gameplay holds up I'm in.

If you generally dislike the anime nature of the cutscenes you can skip them immediately and go straight to the gameplay.

Also, don't forget to save... it's manual save.

 

[super-famicom]

What do people mean by the "dailies"? Is that the deals on the store homepage?

Daily deals. Basically, the lowest price a game can drop to. Sometimes flash sales will be just as good.

 

[Shade]

I'm asking if someone has crafted a badge using restricted cards to see if the usual market/trading cooldown applies to the resulting sale card. If the restriction is in place, then everybody who crafts a badge after a few days will have virtually useless sale cards, so I wouldn't be surprised if Valve's made them exempt.

Hmm, I thought my new cards had restrictions but it apparently are old ones and no new one has a 7 day lock.

Here is what I see on my card from crafting a badge with restricted cards:

Same date on two other ones crafted.

Edit:

I decided to max out a cheap badge to check for myself. The restriction is there:

...but the expiration time isn't a week from now (it's currently 3:30am on the 12th here), so maybe that's as far it goes.

Yeah that is what I am thinking too.

 

[derExperte]

Holy shit, you failed at Steam Sale.

There are always refunds.

 

[Yibby]

Wreckfest worth the price?

Steamreviews say : "Game is dead" , "8 month till last update" ... so i would wait or don't buy it?

 

[dex3108]

Interesting thing is that you can't refund any R* bundle that contains Shark Card. That is low R*.

 

[Kadayi]

WTF? 'These people you know want this game' and 'these people you know who have the game' list has disappeared off of the store pages...

Sold

 

[Bel_Air_Jeff]

Is it just me or is everyone double posting?

 

[Infinite Justice]

What do people mean by the "dailies"? Is that the deals on the store homepage?

yes.

also the flash sales since they change every 12 hours with a next batch of games that would mostly have a bigger discount than their initial one.

for me the whole thing is usually iffy at 75% since its a small chance it can go higher (to about 86 or maybe 90) or just remain at 75%
