So anyway, Yoshi, buy Portal 2 or we aren't friends.

Seriously, how can you NOT like Glados, she's funny as hell.

 

[legacyzero]

i was in the middle of replying =O



their DRM has definitely been toned down for retail copies, but i think some games bought elsewhere (like on steam) still have the older obtrusive DRM.

still, i thought HAWX 2 kicked ass, $4.99 is a good deal

DAMMIT iNvidious!

Get that pretty shit out of here! I'm supposed to have PRINCIPLES! *check bank account balance*

do you use a flightstick ? I got HAWX one and was wondering if the experience was better with it.

How is the DLC? It was 7.50$ until now so 5$ might be a good price to buy it at. Also want to try Wings of Prey for some reason.

 

[CorrisD]

So is this is for the sales now?
Was hoping for something more exciting for the last day, was also hoping for the ME and Fallout games to be on some crazy sale but I must have missed them if they were.

THANKS ROBOKITTYZILLA!

Now to find a way to return the kindness....

 

[JaseC]

how much Aussie Tax did you have to pay lol.

Surprisingly enough, I think DA: Origins is the only guilty item, and that was just +$5.

 

[LuffyZoro]

ah damn.. as I said yesterday I was making an OT with non-highlighted deals and whatnot but I guess i'll scrap that since this OP's gonna loose all the momentum soon

No I need that to spend more money.

Why won't you let me waste money Salsa.

[Yoshichan]

Yeah, what Dacvak said!

You, out of all people, should just...

There, I said it T_T

 

[SteveWinwood]

Portal 2 > bastion

But only on days that end in y

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Played the beginning of this game about 3 times and still cannot enjoy it. Narrator is cool but the game is boring for my tastes.

Pretty much.

If it wasn't for the art style and the narrator nobody would've cared about it. Mediocre otherwise.

 

[Salsa]

Alright i'll edit it into this OP I guess but blah

I was in the process of contacting a mod as well to not open this yet talked to stumpokapow but he's in the middle of moving so he couldnt help me

 

[brandonh83]

Think I've decided to skip on Skyrim for now, seeing as it's not going to drop under $40, and there's a lot of cheaper games I could get instead. Sounds like a more reasonable decision, and it sounds like a game I need to wait on until after I upgrade my PC.

They weren't.

 

[Cheddahz]

Actually, I think Yoshichan should buy me Bastion!

Spoiler

Just kidding, you don't have to, I'll probably cave in and buy it

 

[Speevy]

So bad I couldn't feel the slightest bit of pity when the studio that made it shut down.

You should always feel bad when a studio shuts down. These are people who need jobs to support their families.

 

[atomsk]

Tell me your secrets.

SHORT GAMES

Dear Esther
Trine 2
Q.U.B.E.

Working on Ys Origin now

See?

 

[Tobe]

well no dmc4 or lost planet 2, another sale, another capcom failure.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Finally, an Operation Flashpoint sale!

Glados is a she?

See, look for such small details in Bastion and you'll enjoy it even more.

 

[MRORANGE]

Not bad, I would have thought a 1/3rd of your purchases would have been taxed or something lol.

 

[Truespeed]

Bad Rats should do it.

 

[Cheddahz]

There, I said it T_T

Love ya too

 

[sorijealut]

New thread. My hope for Darkness 2 flash deal shifts here!

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...ction-_-cables-_-na-_-na&Item=N82E16832205041

Um, there's this if you're interested. Can activate on Steam ofc.

 

[feel]

I already have everything decent that's on sale right now, but my addiction to buying is making me look at terrible shit like SC Conviction as prospective purchases... ugh

I wonder if it's safe to buy the normal deals now or if there will be some flash surprises.

 

[Boss Doggie]

New thread! My nipples are ready hahahahaha

Anyway I think I'll be getting that funny Might and Magic game. What about that cheap Jagged Alliance game?

 

[Speevy]

I still need to beef up my friends list.


Everyone add me.

Name is

speevy (might also say speevywan)

Reply from other thread...

The problem with recap days is that it kills incentive for people to follow the sale and encourages them to hold off until the last day, rather than spreading out the traffic. (I can't imagine the hit the servers take on a recap day is a good thing.)

I don't know, man. I actually liked following the Flash Sales and seeing what popped up, and I'm not feeling the complaints from people. But that's just me.

Recap days were always a gamble, there's still plenty of incentive to follow the daily deals. I think the complaints against flash sales are plenty valid. And, besides, what's the point of having a game up as a flash sale twice when it was also up as a community choice and a daily deal? It kills incentive for people to buy it the first three times and encourages them to hold off until the fourth time it's up.

GAF What's the missing game here?

Operation Flashpoint Red River

 

[Fireblend]

Yoshi, after witnessing your love for Bastion I thought we could be friends. I thought we had something. But your lack of appreciation for the masterpiece that is Portal 2 is disappointing, and a fatal blow to what could have been. My heart lies in ruins thanks to your utter disregard for having fun.

 

[Dacvak]

GAF What's the missing game here?

Half-Life 3

Spoiler

Flashpoint

 

[HiiiLife]

GAF What's the missing game here?

Operation Flashpoint I believe.

 

[CorrisD]

They weren't.

Good to know at least, I know there was one for the newer Fallouts, but it was the old ones that I was hoping to get eventually.
Guess that is me waiting till the winter sale, lol.

Alpha Protocol will have to wait until the next time for sure, though.
