So far I got the Isaac dlc and Ys: Origin. I'm keeping my eys on the Oath in Felghana hoping it goes even cheaper in a daily.

Other games I'm planning to get before the sale is over:

  • IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946
  • IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover
  • Wings of Prey
  • Indie Game: The Movie

Games I'm hoping go even cheaper than they are already:

  • Virtua Tennis 4
  • Fuel
  • Driver: San Francisco
  • Q.U.B.E

During the winter sale we a thread with overlooked games that were worth buying, does anyone have any good recommendations or underappreciated games that would be worth buying?

Booted up Ys Origin now and I'm liking what I'm seeing, but the controls are a bit weird with KB+M. Is there consensus on what the best control scheme is?

At best, Oath will be discounted to 75% off, which means you would be out $1.35 if it gets a daily or flash sale. Also, indie games are usually priced low from the start and don't get further MSRP drops. So, $3.75 is about as low as Oath of Felghana will be sold for in future sales. Up to you if that $1.35 is worth waiting on.

That definitely makes me feel better about it. I'm thinking I'll wait to see that Indie Bundle 5 with it in there before I bite at this point.

Can I get some more impressions on either Hard Reset or Audiosurf? Do these games feel complete, polished, and fun?

Hard Reset is the best singleplayer FPS of 2011

Very old school, fast paced combat. Also one of the best looking games ever made.

So I have a question, don't know if it was answered before but anyway.
When a game goes on sale on the daily deals (like Skyrim today), can he comes back even more cheap later on ?

So far, the Daily Deal/Flash Deal has been the lowest price, and we have not seen a Daily Deal show up as a Flash Deal, or vice versa (not including bundles).

Stuff I've bought

-Indie Bundle 3 $9.99
-Portal 2 $4.99
-Gish $2.49
-From Dust $3.74
-Rayman Origins $14.99
-Patricians and Merchants Bundle $2.99


Gifts:


-The Legend of Grimrock $5.99
-Payday: The Heist: $4.99
-Terraria: $2.49


So a little bit over $50 so far. I'm trying to stay below $100 for the total sale, but it doesn't look likely.

Great, I was going to buy Syberia II, now I'll wait until that bundle goes live! I'm planning on getting Alien Breed: Impact and Tiny Bang Story to achieve the 3 minimum.

Should I get anything else?

how big are the chances for emergency 2012 hitting a daily/flash deal?

So I know it is hammered into us to not get anything that isn't on a daily deal usually, but are we allowed to buy the flash sales too? lol.

Well, thus far, the only game that has been a Daily and may potentially be heavily discounted again (as Community's Choice) is Portal 2, but even if it does win the vote, the discount will be the very same as when it was a Daily: 75%. Basically, the only evidence we have points to select Dailies reappearing as Community's Choice candidates with the same discount as earlier, not greater.

Edit: Derp, fixed.
