How's Tropico 3? I've never played any Tropico game and for 2.50 it seems like a nice game to try. Also is the expansion recommended?

Missed the Y's Origin flash sale earlier. Will it or Ys: Oath will be on sale again as a daily or flash?
Will check again. Thanks

It's a possibility. I would definitely pick up Origin before the sale ends.
Oath is supposedly part of Indie Bundle V, but outside of that, I have no clue about it individually.
Pity the 75% discount doesn't apply to the Forgotten Sands DDE.

It was? Wait, I remember seeing that as one of the first daily deals. Damnit. I didn't even bother checking that bundle. =/

Indie Bundle V didn't happen yet.

Indie Bundle V hasn't been posted yet, lol.
Yep. As far as I'm concerned all you really need out of that pack is Sands of Time and Forgotten Sands. Still a great deal though.

I find them all pretty awful personally. Lots of filler and a wild potpourri of genres packed together. It's unlikely that you'll find more than 2 games in a bundle that you actually want to play. And typically they're already discounted anyway, so it's cheaper to buy them separately.

Was it the same discount?
Man where were you and this list 15 minutes ago? I actually had to go google it because I didn't know any immediate places to look at that moment.
Waiting for Monday. *_*
I think the new rule should be...
Wait for the Daily Deals at the last minute until Community & Flash Deals pass.

1- Is it save to erase the "redrist" and "direct X" folders from game installations?
2-Anyway to make the Steam Client text bigger?
3-Any easy way to get the upload video achievement?
Hope someone can answer in the middle of this sale madness.

But it's the same discount. If you buy the game in a flash deal, it won't be more discounted.
1- http://steamcleaner.tikione.fr/en/
2- There are some skins that do that, but I don't remember which ones.
3- Upload a video on youtube, it doesn't need to be huge or be related to gaming. If could be a 1 second video of nothing.

I think they're terrible too. A lot of the games were in PWYW bundles and thus I can't justify spending 9.99 for the 2 games I still don't have or am even intersted in. really sad because they coud've build some crazy bundles with these games. QUBE, Botanicula, EYE, Ys are the only ones I want and they're spread all over the bundles.
1 - Yes, it's safe as long as you've the necessary software already installed. You might want to use this tool: http://steamcleaner.tikione.fr/en/
2 - As far as I know, no. You might want to check out skins though: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1161035

1. No Steam cleaners, only manual
3- My account has some videos but steam doesn't recognise them.
And thanks for answering.
Great Lancehead gonna save some space.
Weird as f*ck theres no text size option.
Sweat dreams
You should at least let the redist install once. If you delete the files before you run the game, you will haver errors.1. No Steam cleaners, only manual

Of course, Steam does this automatically after installing the game. Im thinking of doing this after the game is installed. Again thanks for helping me out with my doubts kami.
It's not essential, but well worth the 2.50 I think if you plan on playing a lot of the game. The base game has 19 civs, the expansion adds 9 + 1 that already was DLC.

Crazy that the Harley DLC is a separate 1.52GB download through GFW Live. Next time I'll just wait for the GOTY editions.
I don't know about the DLC but I think 66% off is the best you're going to get out of Batman: AC this sale. It will probably go cheaper during winter but if you want to play it now and don't mind the SecuROM/GFWL I would say go ahead and pick it up.

AA is the better game, but playing it second might make it feel to claustrophobic, I'd say go AA then right into AC.

What is the 4th Flash Deal besides Batman, Theatre of war and Civilization? Not avaiable in my region.
It might be worth holding out for it to go to a daily deal, when Arkham City was up on the community vote it was going to be 75% off.

Yep, it's a pack but you can cherry pick the 'Black edition', the only bit worth owning.

It's good!
It's a 'city builder' type game, except it hides it as the city you're building is actually an island.
It's also an island set somewhere in the fictitious Caribbean, in the 1950s, and you have the USSR and the USA desperate to use you as a pawn in the Cold War, so you have to juggle what you do with how they perceive you; go too communist and you have US gunboats show up on your beaches to take you over, go too capitalist and the USSR invade.
Or go full on puppet state and get yourself annexed by one to stop the other invading.
It has funky salsa music, amusing anecdotes from the in game DJ, a bunch of singleplayer mission challenge maps (things like 'make a certain amount of money', 'get a certain number of tourists', 'become the worlds number one coffee exporter' etc) and all sorts of different ways of playing.
The expansion pack (and the sequel) is more of the same pretty much. If you like sim games, or city builders, it has its own unique charm to justify its existence, although you dont need to switch up strategies too often.
The expansion offers a ludicrously powerful money maker for your industry in weapons factories though, and if I remember rightly a pretty mental set of singleplayer challeneges where you have to do things like exorcise ghosts or protect your island from alien mind control and stuff.

Arkham city was 66% off during the community vote. Valve aren't going to alter prices from flash sales and daily deals later on otherwise buyers would constantly wait to see if a game on sale would go even cheaper.
Don't mind the SecuROM/GFWL, it's annoying, but I can live with it if I'm paying less then 10 euro on a game. It's the same that was in Batman:AA right?
Ahh, I'm not sure. Even if I don't get it now, it won't be a major loss since I have enough games to play. It's goddamn batman though. :| Ah lemme think about it, still have a few hours anyway.
edit:
Ah thanks.
So is the harley dlc worth it?
