If Simcity ends up winning I highly recommend all new buyers check out this site http://www.simtropolis.com/ it has a whole bunch of free modding stuff, and will explain how to set it up. I highly recommend the NAM mod, it adds a metric crap ton of road way options, also some of the custom made buildings are really nice.

Be that as it may, it's clear that Bohemia want to ride the DayZ wave as its peak for as long as possible.
Edit: I should point out that I agree; -33% won't cut it for me.
Wtf... I wanted to try SimCity 4 again cause it ran like crap on my old computer when it originally came out. Sad to hear that it's still broken.
Is Cities XL worth playing over SimCity 4? Not sure what to vote for...

I H8 Memes are you online? Could you gift me Need for Speed Hot Pursuit (5$) and Just Cause 2 (3.75$)? Please?
I hear ya. But they are still missing out. $15 or less I'd jump on it personally. I never even heard of Arma2 until DayZ and I still won't try an alpha mod for over $15.
Yeah, I did that stuff, but it wasn't actually in that location. I found it elsewhere, actually.
I still can't get Assassin's Creed II to launch, though...
Ditto. That (DayZ) is all I want it for.
It doesn't take advantage of multi-core, but if you limit the cores in the steam startup options it isn't too bad my city has about 500,000 in habitants and runs fairly smooth. I find its best to build on the smaller tiles tho, and go for more compact design, if you want best preformance. If you make a megalopolis it will start to slow down pretty good.

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME?:
Is the Saint's Row: The Third Season Pass DLC worth $5?

Apparently Cities Xl isn't very good, according to people here and Reddit when it was a daily.

read its content. I decided to pick up just Trouble with Clones.
I think you have trailers for every dlc included in that season pass
They're missing out on a boatload more sales.
Anno was already on sale for 2 full days
I know, and I missed it, because I asked if it was good, and no one answered, then suddenly when it's not on sale, everyone is saying how amazing Anno is.

I'm online, but i need to let steam sit closed for a couple of minutes until it un-fucks itself. Sometimes when you buy a bunch of games in a short amount of time you get locked out temporarily. Or maybe steam is just glitching for everybody.

Is there any thing in GTA IV base that isn't included in the Episodes besides the whole Nico story? Can I use mods with Episodes?

Everyone should be getting Just Cause 2. Best looking sandbox game ever.
it's great.
A slightly janky SC4 is better than C:XL still
If you like the game, you'll enjoy the extra missions. It's not anything special though.

I bought ArmaII in a sale aaaages ago for something like $5. They are so lucky that Day Z came along...

Don't believe anyone posted this: Frozenbyte has a "Summer Seal" slot machine game going on right now where you can win Steam keys for either of the two Shadowgrounds games, or 75% off coupons for either Trine or Trine 2. If Trine 2 were to pop back up at any point, perhaps on Sunday as a "Last Chance" deal, a coupon would bring it down to about $0.94 USD.
(UPDATE: Trine coupons will not stack with any previous discount, unfortunately.)

What game series is Anno similar to?
somebody mentioned it in the Age of Empires 3 thread so if it's anything like that series then holy shit. If not then I'll just pass on voting for it.

Yes, you've probably seen this before, but it never hurts to watch it again!

Thanks. Took Trine 2 75% off coupon. Just need Trine 2 to pop back up as a sale again.
It just added a music video to your files. Nothing patched in the game.
You're assuming the coupon will stack atop the existing discount, which, given the Serious Sam 3 coupon "debacle", is all but assured to not be the case.
Took shadowgrounds.

Argh all these deals getting recycled. Gabe completely ignoring Arma 2 =\
you cannot use a coupon when the game is already onsale

Forgot about the SS3 situation. I guess even if it doesn't stack, it'll bring the game down to the discounted price from this sale. Good for anyone who missed it previously for whatever reason.

I just read it.
75% off on the title Trine 2 Standard 75% off.
Can't be applied with other discounts.

Ah, that's too bad then. Thanks for giving everyone else a heads up, though.

He wasn't alone.
Every time I see a sim game on steam It just makes me sad because it is not simgolf.
But I voted simcity 4 for you gaf.

Very true, and worth it for that alone.
And it's still number 4 in the top sellers. STILL NUMBER 4 AFTER ALL THE OTHER SALES. I really hope that the ArmA train doesn't blow through the dailies station without stopping now that it's made of gold encrusted diamond and can fly.

Company of Heroes or the Complete Pack? I ask because of the 10 dollar difference in price. Do the expansions warrant it?

I need to show some restraint now. GAF do not let me buy anything other than Alan Wake and ARMA II.

Only the 8,541st time this question or a variant thereof has appeared in one of the Steam threads these last few days.
So no, I won't tell you. Make your own decisions.
Are you easily annoyed, Junior?
I plan on using this in the launch options in Sim City 4 does win the vote.

Nope, not in the least. Love the troll baiting attempt though, Senior.
It's not hard to search a thread for one of the thousands of comments on SR3 DLC.
