If you upgrade the auto-fire canon and advanced targeting, you can just be idle and you'll kill them slowly. Your armor piercing round doesn't have the same multiplier as your advance targeting, so you'll never do as much damage as the auto-fire.
is it a daily or flash?
The game ran perfectly fine for me last year on a i5-3570K with a AMD 7950.
Neither.
Yep, just like the OP says. Flash sales last 24 hours total, though a new set cycles in every 12 hours - overlapping. Dailies last 48 hours, with a new set every 24 hours.
So, essentially, those last flash sales are gone at 10 AM PST/1 PM EST today.
Wait for the dailies. It'll be 50% off the entire sale. It may be cheaper in coming flash/dailies.
Your first Steam Sale is always the best and the one you will most fondly remember.
Yeah. Was the same way the last winter and summer as well I believe. Flash deals are 24 hours, with the first 12 hours being featured in the store page.
Its also only 5.00usd on amazon right now.

listen to the mad man
The last few sales the flash sales have been 16 hours secretly, guess they've decided to visualize that as well

Mirrors edge was a daily deal at $10, then flash deal at just over $5.
Is this how the sales work? That's some fucked up sales. I won't know when to buy stuff in case it gets cheaper 12 hours later. I thought flash and daily deals were the real thing and other sales were the ones you should hold off on.

It was a flash both times, and it was less than 12 hours before it changed to the correct price. It's advised you hold off on purchasing. Same thing happened for Papers, Please and another game. If you pulled the trigger and saw the game at a cheaper price afterward, you could ask for a refund and rebut it at the cheaper cost.
Flash is the real thing, it just seems to be really slow in updating fully.

KoF02UM is mine, happy to have 98um, 02um and XIII.
Not at all. It wasn't a daily deal. It was always the same flash deal. It just so happens that due to a bug the intended price didn't kick up on time.
Not either I don't think right now. Just a standard sale. I guess I could wait around and see if it pops up on one of those.
Ok cool. I'm running an i7-4770K Intel 4 core so I can't imagine it would be an issue for me. Bummed that it's apparently locked at 30 FPS though.

Oh it was flash both times? So this is more an error than standard? It's my first Steam sale so I'm new to all this.
GAFfers should also check out www.isthereanydeal.com for historical prices.
As you can see, Dark Souls has been cheaper in the past, so it's likely the game will go on sale in the coming days.
Yeah. It and a few others didn't show the correct discount for whatever reason. It was under the flash section, which is instant buy, so I can see why you're a bit, "wow, what," over it.
I'd just wait a little while before jumping gun, I guess. Or use a site like isthereanydeal to see if it's been cheaper before, before buying. If you bought a game and it was cheaper later, like I said, refund. Issue with that is refunds can take up to 7 days.

So....Halo: Spartan Assault is basically Smash TV with a Halo skin? Is it any good?

It's more like a dual joystick shooter; with levels and progression. It lacks checkpoints midlevel, and some levels are long and tedious. I stopped playing because of that.
Look into Renegade Ops instead. That game rules and is better designed.

It seems silly to pick up KoF 2k2 when I already own the XBLA version..
Still though.. 2.99...

Final boss in Ziggurat is a little BS.
Dude just spawns mountains of shit and floods the screen in projectiles you can't really see (like objects that fall from the sky)

probably as a drop from a boss, not sure though
New (to you) games > remastered > already owned. Come on.

Does anybody know much about how decent Magicite is? The reviews on the store page aren't really helpful to me and I don't really know where to look to find someone who does a good video review on it. I mean it's cheap enough that even if I don't get more than 10 hours out of it, I'll still be happy.

Don't like the new flash sales... nothing really interests me.
Still waiting for Tomb Raider, Dark Souls 2, RE:HD, RE4:HD.

Only thing I know to do is put all points in passive skills and the elemental skills. Otherwise I have no clue.

KOF prices are very good actually.
I think you had the right idea.

Quick question. Would Valkyria Chronicles be able to run fine on my laptop? In terms of specs, it's a macbook from 2014 but I have windows 8 on it.
