The urge to buy Ikaruga at 50% off without being a daily or flash because last year instead of voting for it to be on sale for the first time, people voted for Witcher 2 to be $5 for the millionth time.

 

[Nabs]

Holy shit
What is up with everyone buying stuff that isn't a daily or flash sale?

You have to let them experience this stuff on their own sometimes.

Yep, it went live without applying the focus discount - the 55% off is for the entire sale. Backends! How do they work.

But yes, we're 80% off for the next 20 hours, and 75% off for the individual titles if you want to pick those up.

And yeah, if anyone newly purchased the games at the 55% mark thinking that was our focus price, just refund it and re-buy it! In this instance, at least, the new refund system will work out extremely well. (Though I'm a little uncertain how it even works for bundles like that. We'll find out!)



I think they're rather decent, but I may be slightly biased.

They're good games! Where else can you find a brutal capitalism simulator wrapped in a shell of adorableness? Nowhere, that's where, even after all this time.

Ahh yes, the refund system is going to be really handy for situations like this.

 

[MUnited83]

Trolls everywhere.

Well, there's also people that are experienced on sales and know what doesn't have any chance of popping up in a daily or a flash . Basically everything that's already 90% or more, or very unknown indies or old titles.

 

[Shadownet]

.

Fucking Sold! Thanks guys. and Bernardo lmao

Hey, I didn't say they were bad! Many of my friends enjoy them, I just couldn't get into them

 

[Mister Negative]

Picked up the Metro bundle today, that's about all that interests me. waiting for KF2 to get to daily or flash.

 

[twozerotwo]

Totally forgot ab out this.

Gonna pick up Xcom when I get home from work. I'm probably gonna end up double-dipping on a lot of games now that I had to get my own Steam account.

 

[Substandard]

You have to let them experience this stuff on their own sometimes.

On some levels this is true, but on the other hand I got Chroma Squad for < $3 by breaking this rule in the first 15 minutes of the sale.

There's a fine line between waiting for the daily and knowing when to pounce.


In general though I don't really think the wait for the dailies rule applies to indies that are already 75%+ off.

 

[Jables Swan]

I can't even get into the Monster Sale Game. Oh well.

 

[Krappadizzle]

I'm sorry if it's been asked already, but where is the community vote? How are you supposed craft badges this time around? i'm also on mobile app though, so I don't know if that is affecting what I see.

 

[Jag]

Starting to get some cool upgrades in the monster game. This isn't good....

 

[Deleted member 98878]

So, how does the Monster Game work? I've clicked the 'Play Now!' button, got a trading card, but nothing else happened?

 

[Hyrule Warrior]

I hate being one of those people, but this sale kinda sucks. Just none of the prices are doing it for me, and even stuff on my wish list is still not at a price that I'd be willing to jump on.

The only price I saw earlier in the day that actually appealed to me, ended up being a glitch. Shortly after noon, that Naruto game showed up as 83% off with a $8.xx price tag, but then it went up to it's current 66% off price. No thanks, they would've had me at 83%.

 

[arts&crafts]

What is "boss loot" in this god forsaken game

 

[Tampler]

I'm sorry if it's been asked already, but where is the community vote? How are you supposed craft badges this time around? i'm also on mobile app though, so I don't know if that is affecting what I see.

No Community Vote. Get badges through a web game that, at time of writing, doesn't work very well.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

No "hidden deal" thread yet? also i cant seem to start this summer game thing :S

 

[Shadownet]

So remind me. If it's Daily Deals! Then get it. If not. Wait.

The Carpe Fulgur Bundle is a Daily Deal right now.

I just realized I have the 1st Portal. I don't have the 2nd one. Should I keep waiting? I mean it's already 75% off right now.

 

[Indignate]

I don't get it.

Do I get discounts on Monster Energy? Is that how I Play the Game?

 

[Nabs]

On some levels this is true, but on the other hand I got Chroma Squad for < $3 by breaking this rule in the first 15 minutes of the sale.

There's a fine line between waiting for the daily and knowing when to pounce.

Obvious price mistakes don't apply. I jumped on that deal as well.

In general though I don't really think the wait for the dailies rule applies to indies that are already 75%+ off.

90% maybe, but we can go higher than 75%.

 

[Bel_Air_Jeff]

I really like the teams last year. Disappointed that mechanic did not return this year.

 

[tariniel]

I'll almost certainly buy Fez at that price. I'm on the fence with Ziggurat though. Is it fun past the first hour? I can't see much else that piques my interest though, at least not at the prices now.

 

[Mr. Doop]

So remind me. If it's Daily Deals! Then get it. If not. Wait.

The Portal games go on sale as dailies pretty often. You can wait.

 

[gazele]

It is excellent, especially with the (completely free) Long War mod. But make sure you get Enemy Within. It's better than the vanilla game, and you need it to play the mod.

Cool thanks, yeah i wouldn't get xcom alone at this point, but Xcom + Enemy Within for 10 bucks seems like a damn good deal

I'll check out that mod too, thanks, wonder if it works for Mac

 

[Willy Wanka]

Asked for a refund so I could rebuy Valkyria Chronicles at the cheaper sale price. Approved.

Thanks steam! It only took them an hour to answer the request too.

 

[je_ssi e]

So, how does the Monster Game work? I've clicked the 'Play Now!' button, got a trading card, but nothing else happened?

That's exactly how it played out for me.

 

[Respect]

Hmmm, will have to try the monster game another time. Overloaded.

I really like the teams last year. Disappointed that mechanic did not return this year.

 

[Jag]

Took down my first boss. Stuff's dying fast now.

 

[Infinite Justice]

Asked for a refund so I could rebuy Valkyria Chronicles at the cheaper sale price. Approved.

Thanks steam! It only took them an hour to answer the request too.

Wait when did you buy Valkyria Chronicles before this?

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

This is my first steam sale and I haven't bought anything yet. Am I doing it right?

 

[Shadownet]

Took down my first boss. Stuff's dying fast now.

The big ones are boss right? You get 3 bosses per level?

 

[Willy Wanka]

Wait when did you buy Valkyria Chronicles before this?

About a month ago when it was 66% off the current price in a daily deal.

 

[exmachina64]

This is my first steam sale and I haven't bought anything yet. Am I doing it right?

No, buy anything you want in the Flash Sale and Daily Sale sections.

 

[Stevey]

This is my first steam sale and I haven't bought anything yet. Am I doing it right?

Yes

 

[Jag]

Only seen one, but got some boss loot.

 

[MUnited83]

Reminder that PlayWay's Sim Bundle is still 95%off - 0.99$(possible price mistake)


Worth it over and over for Car Mechanic Simulator 2014 which is legitemately great. You get a few simulator duds along with it but Car Mechanic Simulator 2014 for 0.99$ is a great deal.

 

[arts&crafts]

This game makes no sense! How am I supposed to kill a boss? I am level 10 but that took me like 3 min

 

[Tertullian]

Gah I'm paralyzed with indecision on Valkyria Chronicles and the Metros. My backlog is already so huge ):

 

[Phionoxx]

Any thoughts on Zombie Army Trilogy? It is included as part of the Sniper Elite franchise daily, at 33% off. Wondering if I should pick it up.

 

[Krappadizzle]

No Community Vote. Get badges through a web game that, at time of writing, doesn't work very well.

Thanks. That kind of sucks.

 

[Indignate]

Oh my god.

It's fuckin clicking game.

I'm out.

 

[Hellsing321]

All of you buying the games that aren't dailies/flash, I hope you guys don't complain when the better discounts come along!

NO COMPLAINING ALLOWED.

Well thanks to refunds they'll be able to get their money back and then buy at the cheaper price if it happens.

 

[TheSeks]

The Capre Fulgur bundle is now 80% off ($9.98) and each game is 75% off alone.

GabeN edit: You want a cheaper GTA5? GET OUT OF MY STORE.

 

[Azax]

Let's hope they don't fuck us with Dark Souls 2 daily sale because right now it's on 50% while the upgrade from DX9 version is only 20% so they both cost the same wich fucking sucks.

 

[AnathemicOne]

What happens if I've the base game of Skyrim installed but buy the Legendary Edition?

 

[SpaceDrake]

GabeN edit: You want a cheaper GTA5? GET OUT OF MY STORE.

Pretty much how it works, yeah

What happens if I've the base game of Skyrim installed but buy the Legendary Edition?

Totally new install, IIRC. You'd have to reinstall everything because it's a different depot/package/etc.

At least it should be, I think.

 

[Shadownet]

Only seen one, but got some boss loot.

What did you get?

 

[Jag]

What did you get?

Steal Health. Let's you get a % of health back on click.

I'll bite on your suggestion! Feels wrong not getting anything day one...I can part with 99 cents.
