The new flash deals are.... um... yeah.

 

[The One Who Knocks]

Any idea if Garry's mod will be discounted more than 50%? I'm not sure if that regularly goes cheaper during the sales or not.

I got it for about €1 during the Winter Sale (or the last Summer Sale, I can't quite remember). As a rule of thumb I'd pretty much hold off on Valve games as they seem to usually get a discount, either in Flash Sales (considering that Half Life was a flash sale), Daily Deals or a Community Vote.

 

[Nabs]

Ys Origin bought

 

[Huevos de Oro]

Wasn't Portal 2 a daily just like...a day ago?

This changes everything.

 

[Peff]

The new flash deals are.... um... yeah.

Ys Origin is great.

 

[PaulLFC]

So flash deals can be dailies and vice versa it seems. Portal 2 is one of the games in the community vote.

 

[Gintoki]

Voted for L4D2 since its the only one on the list that I don't own.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Ys Origin for 6.99? I just bought it for 12 ><

Why Steam?!?!?!Z!Z!Z

 

[Gav47]

Portal 2 will totally win

 

[Levyne]

Yeah Portal 2 was a daily and Half Life was a flash.

 

[Scalpel Knight]

YS ORIGIN BRB BUYING

 

[Bentendo]

So it looks like daily deal games CAN be community voted games. This is good news for all the games in the past polls that lost like Witcher 2, Batman, QUBE, Metro and so on.

BTW I'll be voting for the game I don't own: Left for Dead 2.

 

[Volcynika]

Buy Ys Origin. It's a good game.

 

[MRORANGE]

lol Brink.

 

[benjipwns]

GAF let's vote lockstep for L4D2 since it hasn't been up yet.

And then we can laugh when it gets 25%!

 

[mxgt]

If Portal 2 or HL2 wins after them already being on sale I will be mad

 

[Nemesis121]

I own all 3...lol..

 

[Aeana]

Buy Ys Origin!!

 

[Peff]

How much were HL2's flash deal and Portal 2's daily, the same?

 

[kitzkozan]

Ys Origin! Bought!

It is exclusive to the PC right? I'm really tempted to buy it, but I dunno. I would freaking blow over my steam sale budget for sure. XD

 

[LiK]

Ys Origin for 6.99? I just bought it for 12 ><

Why Steam?!?!?!Z!Z!Z

first rule!

 

[Exuro]

Ys Origin for 6.99? I just bought it for 12 ><

Why Steam?!?!?!Z!Z!Z

As has been said since the beginning of time, wait for the daily(and now flash) deals.

 

[Hypno Funk]

Do you reckon the community votes that don't win just become flash deals at some point? Meaning that the community is only voting for a longer period in which to buy the one that is in highest demand? i.e. More money for Valve!

 

[benjipwns]

How much were HL2's flash deal and Portal 2's daily, the same?

Yep.

 

[Link Man]

Ys!!!

 

[Levyne]

I paid full price for Origin when it came out and didn't really like it, lol

 

[kurahador]

Motherfucking Ys Origin!!!!!!

 

[Nelo Ice]

Want YS origin but I'll be waiting for whenever they decide to put it on sale for $5.

 

[CronosBlade]

So it looks like daily deal games CAN be community voted games. This is good news for all the games in the past polls that lost like Witcher 2, Batman, QUBE, Metro and so on.

BTW I'll be voting for the game I don't own: Left for Dead 2.

Also wasn't brink in one of the community votes and now is a flash deal? Is it the same discount?

Btw this post is NOT suggesting you buy Brink. At all.

Ys is mine.

 

[JoeBoy101]

Should I assume Brink is not worth $5? I'm dubious, but slightly interested.

 

[LiK]

I own all 3...lol..

same, gonna vote for L4D2 since it hasn't been a daily/flash. man, Valve is just trolling.

 

[Gav47]

I have a spare copy of Bioshock, anyone want to swap it for Brink?

 

[Empty Space]

Anything different between Ys Origin and Oath in Felghana?

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

WAIT!
Didnt Brink lose in one of the community votes?
Because its now on Flash sale.

 

[Dennis]

How long is Ys on sale?

I am at work right now so I can't buy it.

 

[StoppedInTracks]

So the flash/daily deals can come up on community choice.

Ugh... why... this changes everything. There is no logic to the timing of the discounts now :|

 

[atomsk]

had to restart my steam client to get my flash deals to update

fuck yes Ys Origin

 

[Eternia]

Crap, Ys will be another tough decision...of me just buying it anyways.

 

[PaulLFC]

Do I buy both Ys games now (£8.78) or wait to see how much the Ys Pack that's in the registry will be?

Decisions decisions...

 

[SteveWinwood]

Okay now I hate community votes.

Waste of 8 hours.

 

[Phazon]

I voted for L4D2, wanted that game for a while. Here's hoping it will win

 

[Volcynika]

It is exclusive to the PC right? I'm really tempted to buy it, but I dunno. I would freaking blow over my steam sale budget for sure. XD

Yep. PC GAMING EXCLUSIVE.

 

[sazzy]

The trailer for Brink on Steam is nice.

What's wrong with the game?

 

[Aeana]

Anything different between Ys Origin and Oath in Felghana?

Aside from being different games?

Ys Origin is a prequel to the whole Ys series, takes place 700 years before Ys 1. It uses the same engine as Oath in Felghana, but you can play as three different characters, each with their own story and play style.

 

[Gala]

To what other games can I compare Ys Origin?

 

[goober]

it wont let me vote!

shitsrigged.jpg

 

[Herla]

So...should I buy Ys Origin if I still haven't bought Oath? I mean, what should I play first? I could just buy Oath and then Origin in winter, I doubt I'll be able to finish both in the meantime.

 

[IcyRhythms]

suck I was hoping to wake up to you guys voting for Super Meat Boy

 

[SteveWinwood]

The trailer for Brink on Steam is nice.

What's wrong with the game?

All of three people play it.

 

[Arksy]

Can someone explain the Ys games to me? The steam store page doesn't really help...
