Because it didn't sell at release.

I'm sure it's sold millions since. Bring it on Tim.
If you played online, there was an event where everyone contributed to the goal. If you surpass it you get that stuff. Latecomers to the event can just buy it as DLC.

I feel like it has to have made a significant amount of money since it got popular again on PC, and was rereleased on XBLA. Where's the excuse, now!?

Kickstarter.
It's the order of the areas your explore. It isn't an open world "game", you should play it in such order (the 2nd, 3rd and 4th areas shouldn't be unlocked, though).

Will this Steam sale see a recoup of previous sales on the last day or...?

You think it wasn't that tight now, just wait until you're sober! It was a hack job, man. Thanks for the gift!
How about some Hard Reset for a poor sober guy? Thanks.

I don't see why not. We've seen many of the games on sale 2 or 3 times already. What's one more?

Select the lighthouse and just play. The level options are there so you can go back to any particular part of the game after you've completed it.
No idea why people rave about Dear Esther; I thought everything about it (except the music) was pretty terrible.

So, I'm from South America and this probably won't be even close to something you've tried before but it's my favorite dish after all.
Imagine this funny looking bowl made out of clay. This just came out a huge oven and stuff is super hot. You take a look at it and whatever it is, it's pretty well cooked. You stick your fork in and...wait a minute...this...this bowl is full of DELICIOUS GROUND CORN.
You can't stop eating it but wait, there's more: the bottom of the bowl is full of ground meat mixed with cooked onions and other spices! You start mixing it all up, it's perfect. The Inca gods would be proud.
Once you're done with the bowl you ask for another one because it's fucking delicious:
I'm going to one up you with a Pueto Rican dish.
So there you are you walk into the kitchen and see an aluminum tray with lasagna. As you sit down and cut yourself a piece you notice it is strangely sauce-less and there is this yellow stuff in there that isn't cheese nope instead you realize some mad genius has replaced where there would normally be pasta with flattened fried plantains in each layer as if by some dark wonderful magic.
After the initial shock you finally attempt your first bite and taste cinnamon not only did the lunatic put in plantains he caramelized them with brown sugar and cinnamon. Still reeling you chew and taste not just ground beef, but an amalgamation of beef and sausage. Nothing about this lasagna makes any sense, but at the same time nothing has ever tasted so good.
This was actually something I experienced at about fourteen when I visited my grandfather
one summer. The man knew how to cook.

Gotta love the backhanded begging. I'm not against gifting. At all. But this thread has been flooded with," O, I'd LOVE a copy of Bad Rats/etc. I literally have 20+ copies of games I bought for gifting or just fun giveaways as it is. Bit it's cheapened with quasi begging posts and almost makes me not want to do it. I'm still trying to think of a fun giveaway for Skyrim. If anyone has any ideas for a fun giveaway for it, by all means let me know.

Once all of SteamGAF's careers start taking off, we're all going to be gifting each other shit like crazy. Just a few more years!
This is the GAF consensus. Bulletstorm>Rage.

7pm here in Aus. About to eat some icecream cake from my wife's birthday yesterday and might play some New Vegas.
Get Bulletstorm. Please.
If you've already played it, buy it again and gift to someone less fortunate than you. The excellent must be spread.

Your Skyrim contest should be best dragon call in which gaffers upload mp3s of themselves yelling like a dragon.

Rage is seriously the Anti-Bulletstorm.
It's also a horrible game. Such a horrible game.

With a review like this, you really need to do up an OT on Crusader Kings 2
I want to buy CK2 all over again after reading that!
Pictures of GAFfers ready to do battle. Armor, swords, the works.
You bought a copy of skyrim to give away?, Very very generous!, Althought
My friend Not even the most imaginable give away possible could match the Epic-ness of skyrim........ But alas i guess we must all now try to think of one.............
Everyone, Assume the Thinker Position!

Was splinter cell conviction just a flash sale, or did it already have a daily deal, or both?

Awesome shooter. My single player FPS of the generation. The story is meh, and the driving stuff is average, but the actual gunplay is amazing. Along with the environments, the enemy variation and animation, and the music add up to a overcome it's downfalls.

To restate, Rage is horrible.
It's like they went "Hey Bethesda, we want to make an open world Doom. How do we do that? Do we do that by becoming part of Bethesda? Will that automatically make our game open world?".

Comp should be a video of somebody writing something like "i want to win skyrim" over and over like 1000 times.
Best Shout you mean? , Sounds pretty damn good, But like they should also have to name the shout and give a description of what it does, and what each stage of it does, as there are 3 stages to each shout......
This could be interesting
Im still playing through it ocassionally and I really really like it. The "puzzles" are easy enough but the game just feels good movement-wise and it allows you to be effectively "good" at it and pull off some neat stuff. It's fun.
It aint like that at all you doofus I hate thee!
it's a great game that has the best shooting feel this gen. It never intends to be open world as it never encourages you to go out the world and do stuff. The world acts as a hub.

In other words have everybody shout FUS-RO-DAH in public on camera?

Is RAGE worth $10 though? I'm hesitant to pay that much for a game that I'm not sure of.

If you're into "shoot stuff a lot until it dies because shooting things a lot means it is difficult".
Because then yeah.
Also, you're no longer welcome in my treehouse.
(I'd actually say Blacklight has the best shooty feel)

Thanks mate. I'll do some more investigating.
Sounds good. I love games with really tight and polished controls and core mechanics.
I retract my declaration of unbridled love for you...
I dont know mang it has the best enemy animation ever and solid AI. Monkey dudes come out in all angles around you. It's more satisfying than challengin, i'll give you that. Meant to be played on hard from the get go if you ask me.
I thought me loving the shit out of RAGE was a pretty well known thing around here. I think it somehow had something to do with my ban as well, hahah, defended it a bit too much maybe.

Isn't it like over 30GB? That kills an impulse "find out for myself" purchase. I doubt very much it is something I would enjoy any way.

Wow, that game looks good, maybe I could... Oh, $4.99, I'm down for 7 cents, guess I'll pass.
Seriously, Valve should let you add any amount to the wallet.
beware though: it's floaty, but it needs to be. One of the mechanics is controlling gravity. Dont expect something "tight" as in Meat Boy tight, but you have a good grip on your character and pulling out various stuff during air time feels good.

I'll never get all the love for bulletstorm, all the dialogue just tried me out after 2 hours couldn't stand it
I really enjoyed Rage, for me 10$ is absolutely worth it! It took some tweaking to get it working and looking just right but after that the game was a blast
So... Sale almost over, I'm guessing no Kingdoms of Amalur... That's really disappointing, it was one of the games i was most looking forward to buying
