Some people need a chill pill...

Well witcher 1 is still a great rpg worth playing, but i can see just wanting to jump into 2. You can watch this story recap put out by the developer if you want to get caught up on the events of the first game.
Come on now, L.A. Noire should be the given worst option considering the shotty port alone!
Granted Alan Wake just was a flash sale ... Hell wasnt L.A. Noire also one?!
Stupid sale.

Definitely voted for Amnesia- as many people as possible need to play that game.
If valve started giving deeper discounts on games that had already been Flash or Dailies then the community fallout would be extreme.
Plus for the the next sale nobody would buy much at all because they would be thinking it would get cheaper later.
Anyway, anyone that went to bed early in the UK or Europe tonight that wanted the Witcher 2 is gonna be pissed in the morning. Watch this thread for grumpy Europeans in about 8 hours

I don't care 60% is enough off for me to get the Witcher 2. Fuck it.
Actually atrocious coop, but fun regardless.

I will keep it open just for you.
On GOG you will get a cd-key you can then go and add it to your steam account.

Enhanced Edition
On January 27, 2012, CD Projekt RED announced an Enhanced Edition of The Witcher 2 via its sister company GOG.com, which was released on April 17, 2012 on the Xbox 360.[34] The Enhanced Edition added over 10GB of new content, including four hours of gameplay, thirty-six minutes of cinematics including a new intro and outro, and a host of fixes to gameplay and the interface. All existing owners of The Witcher 2 received free upgrades to the Enhanced Edition, and could pre-load the update starting April 11, 2012. All new copies on PC and Xbox 360 shipped with the additional content onboard.
I feel the same way. I'll just hope that it's up for a little cheaper during the Winter sale. I'll be lucky to have beaten Witcher 1 or have even gotten around to starting it by then.

I just noticed Witcher 2 and KOTOR have the same amount of time left despite KOTOR going on sale hours ago.
What's the deal?

I think it's almost guaranteed at this point.
In the last 24 hours, 0.
I own all three games already so IDGAF, but voting for something that already was on sale hours ago is ridiculous.

HA! WENT THROUGH!
SUCKERS!
That fist doesn't look like a fist. Just sayin.
I've put about 90 minutes into this game and it's a LOT of fun if you're into top down racers. There's no online, but if you're into old school top down arcade racers, can't recommend enough. It's a catalog sale of 66 percent off (3.39) and since it's not been very popular since launch, I wouldn't expect any dailys/flash.
Whoa, this is really insanely awesome. Thanks for the heads up!

I'll keep that in mind. I had my eye on it when it came out.
Well you can't please everyone.

Down to $41.88 (out of $100) in my Steam wallet after 3 days. May Lord Gaben have mercy on its soul

Grabbed The Witcher 2 w/guide and Sam & Max the complete collection. All that's left is Skyrim, Ys: Origin and SF Vs Tekken at 75% off and I'll be done.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Y'know, I realized that I really need a new computer chair. The one I have right now is uncomfortable as fuck, and I'm blaming my lack of wanting to play any of the games I've bought on that. Steam might actually sell me on the Embody chair, finally...
damn you, gaben.

Does anybody have an idea why Tropico 4 Bundle is more expensive than buying individually?

Is Witcher 2 going to go any lower or should I get it now?
I think there are 6, 8, and 12 hour flash deals
For those asking about l4d1:
The only reason to buy l4d1 is if you want to experience the game with less special infected zombies (it has boomers, hunters, smokers, and tanks; but not jockeys, spitters, or chargers), otherwise pretty much all of the l4d1 maps have been ported to l4d2. Having less special infected does change the gameplay dynamic, so it's up to you whether that is worth the extra $2.50 or not, but I personally never really got into l4d1 and I have 1600 hr+ in l4d2.

So Valve won't remove Batman: Arkham City and its DLC from my library despite not being able to help me with the CD Key issue and the fact the game won't run. Trying to find relevant support information for Games For Windows Live on Xbox.com has proven to be absolutely horrendous, everything is console-centric and you'd be hard-pressed to know they actually sell PC games or have some malware they pass off as a service. I think I've finally tumbled on an option to chat with support or open a support ticket on xbox.com but I have to reinstall Arkham City before chatting with them about this issue I imagine.
I bet I could have already downloaded a crack and have been playing my legitimately purchased software days ago. Instead I'm being bounced around between Valve, Warner Bros and Microsoft customer support. I bet pirates didn't have any problem playing their copies of Arkham City.

Absolute YAY.
I played it for more than 400 hours, and every single one of them was in SOLO play, and it was brilliant.
Ignore those that say otherwise.
Plus at 4.99 with all DLC, you cant go wrong.
Good preparation for Borderlands 2 coming soon!!!
Pretty sure it won't be lower for the this summer sale. Winter sale on the other hand...

Go see a doctor
Amnesia is cheap anyway, and old...
It's just a sale, and a vote. More chance for more people, I am in the minority anyway I guess... but, AW locked in.

GREAT! And if you can run it on High setting even better. Played with a friend on 360. Saw some PC gameplay and seems amazing.
