Agreed. Buy Hard Reset.
The art style isn't great but the actual gameplay is great. Rather I should say the level design and puzzles in the dungeons are great. The combat is serviceable, but you figure out the 'trick' to it pretty early and it works for most of the game. If you're into dungeon crawling, it's worth it especially since it's getting a level creator in a patch soon.

For some games this really is okay. Just use your best judgement.
No. Capcom is like less than 1% of the Steam catalog.
What's with all the negativity man? Been complaining since before the sale even started. Jesus.
People are unbelievably stupid. No surprises there.
I swear to god if Street Fighter 4 vanilla goes on sale ONE MORE TIME

People who buy a game not as a daily deal and then bitch when it becomes one for cheaper should be banned (just saying).

No. You can use CC or Steam Wallet.
And I though I'd made a great deal buying MP3 for $30 on Amazon
I don't regret it though.

Nothing for me today it looks like, unless a good flash deal pops up.
Trying to work on badges, but the store is hammered and it won't really let me.

Activision having a sale? Say it isn't so!
All for $50. Not bad. Vampire: Bloodlines is on 25% sale. Here's hoping it gets a bigger deal and everyone can buy this awesomeness!

I'm living on the wild side. Bought Big Bang Racing, Race 07, Race 07 Retro Expansion pack for a total of 8.xx dollars. Probably pick up Hard Reset, but I'll have to retry the demo in 3D to see if it really wows me enough.
Real games, bro.
You were already warned you weren't getting much of anything for under 2.00 dollars. Not sure why you're surprised at all.

I have been part of all the sales since winter 2008 (don't remember if they even had dailies back then), and I don't agree with this completely. If it is not A) from a major pub, B) a recently released indie or small pub title, or C) a popular indie or small pup title, it is probably not going to get a Steam daily. Anything that is already 75% off or more won't get a daily sale for instance. If a game you really want meets those criteria, AND you plan on playing it before July 22nd, it's alright to buy it ahead of time.

Yup, the wailing and tearing of clothes over purchased games going on daily won't begin until tomorrow, but that's it. ;p

If you been on Raptr, you may have gotten the Rewards for Serious Sam 3: BFE 75% off the standard edition on Steam.

Oath in Felghana is more like Ark of Napishtim, but better.
Origin is more like a dungeon crawler, there's no overworld, just one massive dungeon with various themes. Has three playable characters, and only one really plays like Adol, more bonuses, and stuff like that. Each character's story is a bit shorter than Oath's though.
You'll get conflicting opinions on which is better. I prefer Origin, but only slightly. Oath might be a better choice since it's more familiar.

I'm hoping ARMA II goes on daily deal, I know I won't have time this weekend to play anyway so I'll actually have some patience with it
Patrick posted this on GB, I'm laughing more than I should: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=bUo1PgKksgw
It's 50% off (so $20) now. I'm waiting to see if it'll be a daily deal.

Pretty much. After seeing these sales multiple times a person can get a good idea of what has a chance of being a daily and what has absolutely no chance. And if you know you're going to buy it then waiting the final day makes no difference at all.
Aren't DMC3's controls super fucked? I heard that the mapping for the sticks is really dumb and you can't change it.
It's been $10 on Amazon before, but it didn't work on Steam. Here's hoping.

Wait for the daily deal.

That should be an animated background/song for the Steam client's storefront for the duration of the sale.

Well if you buy the game to play them and not save money why even wait for the sale at all? Why not buy the game day one at full price? If you've managed to wait long enough for a game to have some kind of reduction then you should also be able to wait a few days to see if it gets any cheaper.

Valve keeps wanting to reiterate, no prizes this year. They posted the question again...

debating about grabbing it now or waiting for a daily
afraid they might fix the coupon discount if I wait though
edit: screw it, grabbed it for $3.40 and stashed it in my inventory (I already own the game)

Same here. It's #1 on my wishlist, but I believe it's still overpriced at $39.99... Even if it does go on sale, i'm betting on 50%, which isn't enough for me to consider buying.
EDIT - Okay, so it's half off now. Maybe there is a chance at a tempting daily deal.
You're entitled to do what you want, no one is stopping you
But I hope you realize that a lot of the time it's more than 10% off that gets cut in the dailies
Usually it's closer to 25% or 30%
But if you still don't care then by all means go for it
The first game will be a new deal every 6 hours
The second game will be a new deal every 8 hours
The third game will be a new deal every 10 hours
The fourth game will be a new deal every 12 hours
That's a sliding window of crazyness.
I really wish they just made new deals every 12 hours (and we only got different timings this time because it all had to start at 10am).
IF the flash deals duration don't change (which I think they will), this is the madness we'll encounter:

Are TF2 items on sale right now? If so, what kind of discounts are there? I won't be able to check for myself until late tonight.
But the whole point of a sale is to save money! The reason you haven't bought the game in the first place is because you were waiting for a sale to save money, yes?
GFWL had for 10...
Well you're talking about a 50% reduction against a 75% reduction compared to full price versus 50%. The benefit I get from waiting for a sale is much higher than waiting for a daily deal, to me at least. I just think it's stupid to always tell people to wait for the daily deal, because some games don't even get the daily deal.

Good lord.
Ok, but its hardly stupid.
If you want to buy the game right now, go ahead, more power to you, but calling someone stupid for wanting to save money is just dumb
Fucking glorious.
