Someone needs to make a little application that displays "EMERGENCY CODE: SALE" whenever the Flash Sales update.

 

[JaseC]

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

Note the "if".

 

[la_briola]

Voted for Saints Row 3 and will buy it hopefully tomorrow!

 

[Harbinger of War]

Hard Reset is 75% off.

It's normally $20 everywhere else. IT's $3.75 here.

I know "wait for daily deals" but there is no way it will be cheaper and even if it was, how the fuck much cheaper could it be?

Huge new DLC expansion seals the deal.

Bought.

I feel like Hard Rest for 75% off and PixelJunk Eden for 80% off are two deals where the chances of them getting cheaper as daily deals is somewhere between minimal and non-existent. When you get to discounts of 75% off and greater for non-daily deals, it's probably safe to buy now. Anything less than that, I totally agree with the "Wait for a daily deal" rule.

 

[Meier]

A link? Why would we need a link when the client is running 24/7?

For people at work.

 

[BiggNife]

GFWL had for 10...

Yeah but I want the Steam version

The main reason I'd be getting this is to play with Steam friends

I already have it on 360

 

[TheCrow]

GFWL had for 10...

That's not steam. Plus that was before I decided to get back into SSF4.

 

[iNvid02]

Should I get Ridge Racer Unbounded?

not for $25 imo

 

[KarmaCow]

Well you're talking about a 50% reduction against a 70% 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.

Obviously you should buy a game if you think it's worth it, but if someone has enough doubt to ask if it's worth it, the answer is always wait.

 

[ColossalLazy]

Bought Grimrock.

Voted for Witcher 2, hoping for it to win.

 

[Clever Pun]

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.

Thanks, it sounds like I can't go wrong with either game, so I'll probably just grab whichever one is cheapest in the end.

 

[cpp_is_king]

Really hoping the witcher 2 wins the community vote.

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.

Don't even bother it is a losing fight lol. If you are happy with your purchase then that is all that matters.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

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.

nothing in the TF2 Shop is on sale

lol.

Waiting on my friend to get back to me and then we're going to get grimrock. Also got my eyes on spacechem and will more than likely take the plunge eventually.

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

I would get the id pack put Rage is there driving the price up.

Really hoping the witcher 2 wins the community vote.

Gog.com is the place for Witcher 2 sales.

 

[Einbroch]

SpaceChem (flash deal) and Clash of Heroes (daily deal).

I'm holding strong. If Skyrim gets a good deal, grabbing that. If not, getting the Bethesda bundle. Also holding strong on Ys.

 

[MRORANGE]

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:

Disclaimer: Math is hard, so I might be completely wrong.

Valve is gonna end up killing us due to sleep sleep deprivation.

"Can't sleep, sales are coming."
"Can't sleep, sales are coming."

[Ferrio]

Why you no on sale Spec Ops?!?!

 

[DyTonic]

$5 bin

 

[Lulubop]

Yeah but I want the Steam version

The main reason I'd be getting this is to play with Steam friends

I already have it on 360

It uses GFWL regardless, but since it was on sale on amazon I imagine there's a good chance for steam as well.

 

[Addnan]

First purchase, Pixel Junk Eden + soundtrack and Serious Sam 3 for £4.75. (Used Raptr code)

 

[Pinko Marx]

Eyeballing this Ubisoft pack.
I want Rayman & M&M VI for sure.
Kinda want Ass Creed & Driver
Already played BG&E
Dgaf about everything else.

 

[MasLegio]

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



My god...

may?

as in all have gotten that reward or do we have to do anything to get that reward?

I am on my laptop and I do not have raptr installed on it and cannot remember the password for the web login. But might reset password if it is worth the time

 

[Dog Problems]

nothing in the TF2 Shop is on sale

Hopefully they're going to add special Summer items and are waiting for that to discount some stuff.

 

[(._.)]

Decided to get Rayman Origins. Really the only game I want ~_~

 

[JonCha]

Not feeling Grimrock watching the Giant Bomb Quick Look. Don't like to do things unless I'm 100%.

 

[bishopcruz]

it's not complete, doesn't have any of the Sam & Max games

There is this

not that cheap but decently priced.

 

[iNvid02]

Really hoping the witcher 2 wins the community vote.

think they already hinted batman and sr3 are getting all the votes

 

[Symphonic]

Hopefully they're going to add special Summer items and are waiting for that to discount some stuff.

They're doing that for Dota 2.

EXCEPT THEY'RE NO TELLING ME HOW TO GET THE CHESTS. I NEED HTEM MSLMDDLSDGSDdxcvxfbfb

[EagleEyes]

No KoA: Reckoning deals . I know its 25 on amazon but thats the origin version.

 

[Talamius]

Should I get Ridge Racer Unbounded?

Seconded, I was waiting for a lower price since I heard good things. How is it?

 

[Mavromatis]

Valve is gonna end up killing us due to sleep sleep deprivation.

"Can't sleep, sales are coming."
"Can't sleep, sales are coming."
"Can't sleep, sales are coming."

2 hours, you must check Steam every 2 hours after the first deal.

Somebody code us a Flash Deal Alerter already.

 

[kaskade]

I'm thinking about Mafia 2. I played the demo and found it to be pretty fun.

 

[lorebringer]

So am I the only one seeing a load of indie games updating?

A whole ton of them on my steam list all have updates going on, Altitude, Zenbound 2, Titan Quest (what?), Ares, Rush, a few others. Anyone else seeeing it or is it just a weird coincidence?

Edit: Maybe I'm going mad and it's just steam checking them and revalidating? But why would that happen.

 

[Canis lupus]

Shogun II for €10 is great!

 

[TheChits]

Decided to get Rayman Origins. Really the only game I want ~_~

Fantastic decision. Prepare for awesomeness when you play that bad boy

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Wow wow wow! That Bethesda pack is soooo tempting! I haven't played Skyrim yet! D:

P.S. Do research before buying Id pack. A lot of games didn't work on my system when I bought the package last year.

 

[Nuborn]

Bought:

• Deus Ex: Human Revolution
• Portal 2
• Serious Sam 3: BFE (with raptr coupon)

and now i'm down £11 after the first day, jesus christ this is gonna be hard to wait for ARMA2 combined ops daily deal.

That's pretty wonderful.

Man, there is no way this sale is going to live up to the hype.

 

[dreamfall]

Whoa, The Witcher 2:EE is $24?! It wasn't showing up on my Wishlist as on sale, but I checked the store page. Does that voting reduce it even further if it wins?

 

[Lancehead]

"Can't sleep, sales are coming."

I usually go with 5-6 hour sleep, so I shouldn't miss any deal.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Hopefully they're going to add special Summer items and are waiting for that to discount some stuff.

they confirmed they are not adding any new summer items this year, but they have "big plans" for later in the summer.

 

[BioHazard]

No KoA: Reckoning deals . I know its 25 on amazon but thats the origin version.

:'(

 

[Detox]

I just noticed the flash sales on the side (browsing on mobile), what is the rule on these wait for daily or is it buy now?
