[hyduK]

Guess I'll double dip on Skyrim.

 

[Alrix]

Waiting on Bastion...one of these days...

 

[RedSwirl]

Shining in the darkness was one of my favorite genesis games.

Awesome. I have a copy sitting behind me

So it's worth $1.79 on Steam?

 

[XANDER CAGE]

What the FUCK!?!?!?!?

Gabe, don't limit the best flash sales to when us non-yanks are asleep, please buddy

Pretty sure that was a joke

 

[feel]

Still locked out of making purchases 2 hours later, still getting "unexpected error" without explanation on checkout. Contacted support with their ticket thing but I have a feeling it's gonna take days for them to get back to me, and probably just asking something random without having fixed it. It's about the time to come out of the dark ages and invest in some decent livechat customer support Valve. I'm gonna be pissed if I miss some amazing sale.

 

[Salsa]

Ys or Two Worlds 2? I can't decide, both are right up my alley.

Ys

I already owned Ys on PSP and I still got Ys

The poster is just fucking with you.

Hopefully some of those would appear (except Skyrim since that would be ludicrous)

I forgot that I wanted to get the Sega Genesis Pack 5. So that and Ys Oath have $10 bookmarked at some point in this sale. With luck the Genesis games will get a flash sale or daily for a steeper discount. Pretty sure they have been cheaper in the past.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Ys

I already owned Ys on PSP and I still got Ys

I also own Ys on PSP, still worth it over Two Words 2? I love me some jank

 

[Salsa]

Anybody doing a Dead Island 4 pack?

buddy of mine interested as well, so:

Dead Island fourpack:

- THE NO LIFE KING
- SalsaShark's friend
- ???
- ???

 

[Recon]

So it's worth $1.79 on Steam?

Definitely. Though, I have no idea if it aged well..

 

[Delusibeta]

I also own Ys on PSP, still worth it over Two Words 2? I love me some jank

You don't own Ys Origin. Also, it's cheaper.

I'm in. Can't host though.

 

[Souther]

So it's worth $1.79 on Steam?

Yes. I'd pay double that price easily. Go look up some video on youtube if your not sure.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Summer sales on a weekend will do that, I guess.

I didn't think about that. Sure that's what it is. Keep thinking today is Friday...

 

[ZZMitch]

Skyrim is mine!

Also had Orcs must Die in my cart but I already own it so....

 

[Tesseract]

oh neat, lunar flight is 50% off! ya'll should buy it!

 

[Subtervotion]

Left 4 Dead 2, vote for it now!!!!!!

Spoiler

please.

 

[Recon]

If anyone would take Amazon Payment, I would love to get in on Dead Island 4 pack.

 

[Megasoum]

I REALLY doubt that ARMA 2: CO will be a flash deal. It's gonna be a daily deal and it's gonna be the sale's biggest seller.

They'll probably wait until near the end of the sale to put it in the daily since they want people to come in and check everyday when the store is updated.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

You don't own Ys Origin. Also, it's cheaper.

That's true, the equivalent to the PSP version I have is Oath of Whatever, not whatever Origin is.

(Ys is more expensive though? Only by 50 cents but yeah, TW is 7.50 and Ys is 8)

 

[AlexBasch]

That reminds me I never got the $5 Amazon coupon from freetimemachine.com thing. ):

 

[Dacvak]

Skyrim -90% off, Arma 2 -75% off, Kingdoms of Amalur -75% off

Spoiler

I don't know why, but I read the last one you listed first and went backwards. At first I was like "oh alright, I suppose that makes sense. Oh-oh crap, I missed Arma 2?! Dammit! ... Oh, what a bastard."

 

[lettermassing]

Got Ys. Just hoping for Witcher 2 and Arma II now.

 

[Treythalomew]

QUBE One of the things I wanted most from this sale.

It is going to be included in the day 7 indie pack with Avadon, Dungeons of Dredmor, Vessel, and Zombie Driver. I'd rather have it alone but this pack my be the best bet for value.

 

[kswiston]

I didn't think about that. Sure that's what it is. Keep thinking today is Friday...

Download speeds sucked yesterday as well. I was getting 100-800KB/s (averaging between 200-300) when I usually get 2-2.5 MB/s on Steam.

 

[brotkasten]

We already had Portal 2 as a daily and then coming back as a flash deal, so it's not out of the question.

 

[LatvjuAvs]

Anybody doing a Dead Island 4 pack?

I need one too, need host.

 

[KingKong]

From Dust is awful, stay away

at least I only wasted 4 bucks on it, oh well.

 

[YianGaruga]

How is Ys Origin compared to Felghana? Better? Worse? Different? I only played the latter.

 

[Xdrive05]

Borderlands w/ all DLC?

Or Dead Island w/ all DLC?

Which is the better choice? Graci

 

[bigace33]

Waiting on Bastion...one of these days...

Man Bastion is worth $20. One of my favorite games of all time.

 

[Salsa]

update:

Dead Island fourpack:

- THE NO LIFE KING
- SalsaShark's friend
- YianGaruga
- LatvjuAvs

closed

who can host?

 

[Dr Stabbingworth]

So it's worth $1.79 on Steam?

Maybe. I bought Shining Force 1+2 some time back to replay them and I just couldn't get into them. Maybe the SRPG genre has moved forward too much. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug, sometimes. Which is weird because I replay 8/16-bit platformers and RPGs all the time.

 

[scorpscarx]

Ys Origin is ok so far I guess, I was sort of expecting something a tad different but I've only gotten to the first battle after the 20 minute long intro cutscene.

It will grow on me I think though... seems like fun, and I'm digging the universe.

Alan Wake played for about an hour, really cool atmosphere, you get lost in it.

 

[KingKong]

Download speeds sucked yesterday as well. I was getting 100-800KB/s (averaging between 200-300) when I usually get 2-2.5 MB/s on Steam.

its weird, I started downloading 4 games and one of them would go above 1mb/sec and the rest would be really low, so I just paused the other ones until it finished and kept doing that. now im just downloading one game and its going at nearly 3mb/sec

edit: ooh it went up to 3.5mb/sec, booyah

 

[Recon]

It will be funny if ARMA II doesnt go on sale. Like Vampire:The Masquerade didnt go on sale even though everyone was waiting for it(few years back).

 

[Sanjay]

That is a pretty dumb statement. Might as well say that you left shooters behind 2 decades ago. Rpgs have changed a lot in 20 years, as has almost every genre.

I think he meant jrpgs, not rpgs.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Download speeds sucked yesterday as well. I was getting 100-800KB/s (averaging between 200-300) when I usually get 2-2.5 MB/s on Steam.

I had good speeds from the Chicago server yesterday. It's the worst one around me today. But, yeah, they're all sucking right now.

Borderlands

How is Ys Origin compared to Felghana? Better? Worse? Different? I only played the latter.

Different, no world map like Oath had. It's more story-heavy and is kind of like a dungeon crawler, the whole game takes place in Darm Tower from Ys I, only before it corroded to hell or something. Has various themed sections and stuff, which are practically separate dungeons. It's a bit shorter, but has three different playable characters each with different stories (none of which are Adol).

Generally has cutscenes at the end of each area, and one in the middle. Aside from that the gameplay is pretty uninterrupted.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Really the biggest disappointment so far is that Kingdoms of Amalur got no discount at all. I was expecting like a 25% or something at least. Stupid Rhode Island.

 

[MRORANGE]

bloody great, this oyster machine has charged me double after telling me it would decline the first charge, I go back home and check online on my bank account I am now £15 out of Steam funds :|

I really do hate TFL sometimes :|

 

[TheRagnCajun]

?? I thought it was pretty cool.

 

[GitarooMan]

I like both games, but I would vote Two Worlds 2, especially if you are a jank lover. I had a ton of fun with that game.

Oyster what??

Hmm, I think I'll skip it then..

I wish america had oyster dispenser machines.

 

[KingKong]

?? I thought it was pretty cool.

it's locked at 30 fps, feels really unresponsive and doesnt play well with keyboard/mouse controls at all

 

[ZZMitch]

Is that new skyrim DLC not on PC yet? I have not been following it.
