Maybe I am late here, but what is up with this Arma II sales? Are they any good? x_x

Presumably for the DayZ zombie game mod..

I'm tempted to pull the trigger on it, but trying to be responsible with all my financial responsibilities at home :D

Google/Youtube some footage, looks like fun!

This may have been said...

It seems to me they're going to have a best sellers day today via the flash sales rather than the daily deals.

There is Portal 2, The Witcher 2, Trine 2, and Dead Island. All best sellers on their day I assume.

And now Legend of Grimrock which would have been up there as well. I highly recommend this game by the way!

Grimrock was a daily, a community choice, and now a flash deal. :U

Still, it's a great game, so buy it if you have the funds left.

Charts and graphs of mys spending incoming.

Yes, I've played Portal 1 and kind of enjoyed it.

I enjoyed Portal 1 more than Portal 2, but I think I'm the odd one out with that opinion. The first game was a much more focused, first-person puzzle game. The second feels like they tried to make it more than that, since most of the game is more reminiscent of the last segment of Portal 1 rather than the test chambers.

The other thing about Portal 1->2 is not only to they add more characters, you also get some new game mechanics.. it's not just as simple at Blue/Orange portal stuff.

IIRC it's been up for voting as well but lost.

Some games have been up for community choice after they lost. But I don't think there have been any repeats of winners.

And hey, Civ V got a repeat Flash Deal, so I guess he can hope for that :lol Portal 2 is also a repeat Flash Deal.

People buy Lone Survivor! Do it for me as some people got Bastion for Yoshi! Except I don't have Lone Survivor, but it's okay, buy it anyway! It's a great game with a creepy setting!

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?

To be honest every sale is pretty much the same (save for some new games that have come out since the last sale).

Those are repeats between winter and summer sales, though. We've been bludgeoned to death with repeats within this sale itself. This concept of flash sales is just garbage the way it was done.

Grimrock again? Yeesh.

Has Alice or Metro 2033 been flash deals yet?

Yes to both I think.

Yea the repeats this sale have been awful but winter/summer repeats are still there.

Anyone got one of their spare The Ship keys? Would be awesome to try it out.

Grimrock eh? Despite it being on the wishlist, I'm on a laptop, so fat chance it'll run.
Click to expand...

How old is your laptop? I was playing it on a nearly 4 year old laptop just fine with high settings (I think it has an 8600 GX).

I also highly recommend Grimrock. The movement and combat takes getting used to, but it is an excellent exploration/puzzle/RPG. Don't miss it! I just wish these last repeats would be of games on my wish list that I missed...

I don't want to spoil what the spacebars new ability is, but as a Yoshi you'll love it.

I'm only joking now, but I have a deadly premonition it'll be a repeat no one really wants.

I guess all the repeats were to get rid of the recap and give people up to 3 chances to get the stuff they wanted.

Too bad I missed out those chances for Shogun 2 haha.
