Gah. I can't decide if I want Dead Rising 2. I liked the first one on the 360, despite being rather difficult. Is it worth my $10? I have 1 hour to decide :-(

Dead Rising 2: OTR is a non-canon Dead Rising 2.

All the usual bells and whistles plus some (extra modes, more fun story).

For 10 bucks. Pick it up.

Christ, I don't even wanna list what I got so far. Let's just say I'm going to be subsisting on a diet of ramen and water for the rest of this month. Best moment so far: buying Dear Esther this morning literally 5 minutes before it went up as a daily. "Naw, they wouldn't waste a slot on that," I thought, "I don't have THAT bad of luck."

5 minutes later END MY LIFE FOR $2.50

Whatever, at least I have some games on this PC now. Too many games.
oh god what have I done

Could have just waited 5 minutes. Well, at least you know Rule #1.

Age of Empires 3 - Shouldn't I just play AOE Online if I feel like playing it?

RAGE - Love Doom, but $10... i should wait for winter right?

Dear Esther - Watched a Video and now I gotta get it...

I will not cave, I will not cave!

I really should have bought Fallout:GOTY and Ys:Origins when I had the chance :(
Any chance for the sales to return? On Monday, perhaps?

There's always hope!

it was just a flash deal on Fallout 3/New Vegas. Will probably be a daily at some point. Then a flash deal again. Then a community choice. Then a final day recap deal.

Man ubisoft is a piece of shit on PC. I bought the AC bundle when it was on a flash sale, and I recommend no one buys any of their crap that is currently on sale. Not only did I have no access to play my purchased single player game over the weekend because ubisoft thinks I'm a criminal, but their crappy cloud support has to decide that the save from literally the first checkpoint in the game is newer then my 8 hour long save, so I guess all my progress is gone now. Oh and google says that there is a temp folder where they keep the saves if the cloud decides to do that, but I guess Ubisoft didn't need that folder anymore because this newest version of their crap DRM certainly doesn't have any folder or file that looks like what people are talking about.

Oh and I only have a cloud save of the first checkpoint because they didn't support the wireless 360 controller I wanted to use and I needed to download some fan made files to actually make the damned game work.

Sorry if its getting too off topic but basically what I learned from this steam sale is that ubisoft can go fuck themselves. I've been hearing the same crap from other members about other ubisoft games they got from this sale as well.

lol, dat gif. i think it;s good that Steam is recycling deals to prevent more insane purchases from me.
Click to expand...

For me, it's less preventing more purchases, and more saying "are you suuuuuure you didn't want this game?"

And then I cave in. =(

As in, you bought and beat the game in the last XX hours?
Click to expand...

I bought the game when it popped up as a flash sale early on, and I beat it over the weekend. Beat it in about 20 hours.

Since I have only bought Dead Island I'm playing that.

Alone, of course. People seem to hate random players entering their games, I understand.

So, Mirror's Edge shows up on my Steam at $5 and then I used the '?cc=au' thingy as stated on the OP to show the Australian price which is $2.49. When I add it to the cart the price is still at 2.49..

My question is, can I buy it at that price or it won't work and still be $5 after all?

Yea, it's too bad. Only game I ever put that many hours in such a short period of time was Plants Vs Zombies. Not Skyrim or something like that. I haven't even finished the SP campaign!

Nope, the checkout system will spit back an error. It's only possible to purchase from another Steam Store region when using a VPN, however Valve comes down hard on this as it's automatically assumed to be tax evasion.

I really liked Rage and played it twice. It was more impressive to see it run on a console where 60fps is not default for games.
