why do people keep saying "Play Dead Island with a gamepad" instead of the traditional PC KB/M controls ?

Analog melee.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
By the way, GamersGate has Anno 2070 for 65% off, but then Anno isn't steam.

Other than the Indie Bundle, probably unlikely, the first day things were screwed up so sales were starting before they were official.
someone on gaf posted skyrim being in the sale at 12:50, but i figured at the time that the website had updated quicker than the store or something.

There are always generally recaps at the end, and batman is a good chance to be one of them.
And there is always the next sale.

i see hmm... is that hard to control? Easy for me but my wife might have trouble with this if we're gonna play coop not sure...
I've played all three PoP games with a 360 controller and they all definitely supported analog movement. The only one which gave me a problem was Sands of Time where you couldn't run diagonally but I solved it by increasing the sensitivity for the analog sticks. Also in The Two Thrones you can't remap the triggers so you're stuck using them for camera controls.
I think you mean it proves why democracy is best. Your odds of getting a really dumbass ruler as King are really high.
People just need to chill out and accept not everyone owns hundreds of games. Plus, from the looks of it, all of those games being voted on (and lose) probably still have a good chance at being a daily or flash (and if not, will get a daily before the winter holidays).

Alan Wake and Amnesia.
It's not that bad, really. Preferred playing it with the controller anyway though.

Add the Mac versions of Civ IV and it'll look like even more.

The haul so far (Binding of Isaac is actually just the DLC):
God help me.
i feel that we are beyond salvation unfortunately
Oh okay so I didn't miss one, I voted for Amnesia. That was the way better game too, la noire stinks and has been on several cheap deals lately.
After reading some comments in here and in the official thread about Dead Island, I decided to skip it. I'm sure the deal will come back in the future and maybe it'll be at a lower price, if the price drops in the mean time.
Picked the Batman pack and Two Worlds 2 Velvet Edition, though I feel like in the end I'll regre the Two Worlds 2 purchase.

Bought Witcher 2 so I think one WRPG is enough for this sale. I hope anyways... (Skyrim is damn tempting)

That price on Pixeljunk Eden! Completely missed that. Almost an insult to the game.

I really hope Saints Row 3 goes on sale again at the last day. I totally missed that sale. It was at $12 right?
Not that much cheaper though, at least for people outside the US - the Amazon one works out to about £5.70 in UK money but by the time you add on the £1.50 international transaction surcharge it'll be more than what the Steam deal will cost.

$12.49
where? in eu its 7,5 eur :/
Port Royale 3 - pretty darn awesome. It is kind of like Pirates! meets Tropico, which is not a bad thing, the city management is not as complex as Tropico, but there is enough evolution that it doesn't seem boring and not overwhelming either. The graphics are very nice and smooth and music is nice chill out type. Hopefully they pick this one up for a flash deal but if they don't I think it is worth the existing discount price.
The core of these pirates games is kind of buy cheap, sell high, but it is pretty fun and addictive way to kill time.

I... I don't think Steam sales work like Diablo 3, you won't get better sale items by increasing your Magic Find with Nephalem Valor.

Updating my list o' purchases:
Europa Universalis 3 Complete (nicked a code from the Amazon thread)
Ys Origin (gifted to a friend).
So far, the damage has been about £23, which is somewhat worrying considering we're only at day three.
Frozen Synapse Red (DLC)
Europa Universalis 3 Complete (nicked a code from the Amazon thread)
Ys Origin (gifted to a friend).
So far, the damage has been about £23, which is somewhat worrying considering we're only at day three.
LA Noire Collection (with all DLCs) is 5.74USD where I stay

lemme know if u need help
No idea what you just said :lol
I'd been waiting on a sale for it, bought it immediately and have played the crap out of it since. Great game (it was actually a thread from a month or so ago here, where someone related its gameplay to Borderlands that piqued my interest). Using a PS3 controller on the PC is a pleasant match also.

I haven't bought anything yet. Maybe its cos I now have to pay in Euros and most deals don't seem as good as when I lived in UK and Japan. I'm hoping to expand my collection of Adventure games though so hopefully Walking Dead will be a daily and also some older titles like Dreamfall will get further discounts (how is that game still 20 euros when not in a sale??)
I just bought it yesterday with the Rockstar Pack... this steam sale is really burning a hole in my wallet...

A few people have suggested that they are.

Beyond salvation maybe, but this whole thing is about Money Spent/Hours of Future Gaming.

you've got a PM.
I believe proxies are frowned upon here. Just ask a US gaffer to gift the game, and repay them with Paypal.
Since this thread moves so fast, especially when the new sales are up, does anyone think a separate "review the deals" thread would be useful? Then anyone who's played one or more of the daily, community or flash deals on currently can post their impressions of the games to help others decide if they're worth buying. I was thinking a format something like this:
Game name Playtime: Some text about your experience with the game, your thoughts after playing it, and whether you'd recommend it to anyone else interested in the game.
Score (optional)
Game name 2 Playtime: Some text about the second game
etc...
Good idea? Bad idea?

listen to the mad man
Boy it sure is great that Ubisoft brought so much value to the table with uPlay. Sure you can't play your game now, but when the servers come back up you can unlock 4 achievements per game and use them to buy costume skins! That seems like a great tradeoff!
Would love something like that

Might be better if we could convince people to do it in this thread.
