Far more compatible than any other controller. It really is, with no exaggeration, the defacto PC gaming controller. If a developer programs controller support, 99% chance it's designed around 360 Windows controller driver and layout.

how can you hide a code or something from lurkers i have a 75% code for serious sam 3 and i dont need it
Ditto. I've already spent a bunch today but considering RR. Someone sell me on it, or talk me out of it
want to thank Toma for SpaceChem
Enjoy
Probably doing another giveaway on a game I love during this sale. I probably end up spending more money on gifting stuff to you guys than actually buying stuff for me, haha.

Arrgh, my best hope this time is to focus on "completing" things I already own save for the odd DLC or Expansion versus jumping on new games. I mean, I'm broke before this began, but.....
That said, I guess tonight/early tomorrow morning I need to review over the sale, check my Steam wishlist, re=populate said wishlist from what browsing the RPGs and such avail as it has been quite awhile since I've poked around, then see about an order tomorrow morning...depending.

Completely forgot to write Steam Support that I'll be out of the country for the next 3 weeks :/
Can I still buy stuff with Steam wallet funds?

As somebody who tried to go back after playing Skyrim I feel that its not really worth it.

I think they might. Mafia 2 is always $5 when it goes on sale, and it's $7.50 on the flash deal. Guess we'll see tho.

Knew I should have grabbed Serious Sam 3 earlier.

Not as stressful as flash sales
Binding of Isaac is a bad choice since the devs specifically refused to add controller support. Probably because the game is coded in flash and they are already having a hard enough time stamping out the new bugs each patch creates. Still a great game though. I've put in god knows how many hours.
I have a feeling I'm going to be spending a lot of money this sale. Out the gates I've already dropped $18 on daily/flash sales.

- Deus Ex : Human Revolution -75% (flash sales)
- Analogue: A Hate Story -50%
- Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers -15%
- Frozen Synapse: Red DLC -50%

- Magicka : The Other Side of the Coin -40%
- Offspring Fling! -60%
- The Binding of Isaac : Wrath of the Lamb -50%

I am sure I will get better discounts for some of these games as daily deals though.
Living in europe im not sure how to sleep/work if these deals are gonna come on a regular 6-8 hour basis :/

You know, they don't really work for me, because even as just a moderate PC gamer I often have at least one or two of the games that I really want from each pack already. But some of those $50 publisher deals really are just insane values.
I'm actually looking at them now and trying to figure out how I would rank the $50 packs if I had gone back in time and not played any PC game in the last 10 years or so, and was coming to them all fresh. I think I like the Ubisoft, 2K, THQ, and Square Enix packs in particular since they provide for really quality titles across multiple genres.
We should get a final day Community Choice vote to put just one of those publisher packs on sale for half off at $25. It would be a bloodbath.

Maybe they'll appear tomorrow. They have to, I need an excuse to play some games.
IT BEGINS!!!!
Day 1 purchases for me
Legend of Grimrock $5.99
Portal 2 $4.99 (Only had on 360 previously)
Flash deals are going to be interesting, I say if one is 75% off and it's a game you want then get on it!
Now we sit back and see how many posters ask if they should wait for the daily deals or buy a game right away.........

Thanks, I will save my cash for something else. (I probably would have dropped Oblivion when Dawnguard hit anyway)

I'm surprised! I thought people would just migrate. Cool, pity that Capcom chooses to fragment the community.
True, though it would be bad form on Valves part. Thats basically ripping off the first customers.

No matter what the price, Rayman is a quality game with tons of content presented in a unique way.
If someone said to you yesterday, "Hey, tomorrow Rayman will be $15 on a daily deal" would you have been excited and wanted to buy it?
If Yes, Buy. If No, Don't Buy. Once the price changes, repeat process. Then, even if it is cheaper, you'll be a mature, educated consumer and recognize that you agreed to purchase said product at that price and feel good about it. Especially after you dump 20 or 30 hours into the game. Right? RIGHT?

I see. Oh well that game should be fine to play on k/m setup anyway.
I've been wondering if it's going to get any cheaper if Skyrim goes on sale since others said it's doubtful to be a daily. Does anyone have any insight on this? Could it get included on a franchise deal maybe?
Personally, in the end I realized I enjoyed it better than Skyrim. If you are really craving more elder scrolls, it takes a hit with the graphics but gives a bit more freedom. Modding it up to speed can be a pain though. If your tight on cash just wait.

Why is this amazing video not on the front page?
So I have ALL Total War games besides Napoleon, but I don't have any of the DLC for Empire either. So I can't decide if I want to get the Empire DLC plus Napoleon and its DLC separate or the Total War pack which seems easier and might be cheaper by a few bucks. I'm assuming I can gift the other games that I already have quite easily? Maybe I'll be generous to people interested in the series if it's worth it or if one of my friends wants to trade me for a spot in one of his four packs or anyone for that matter.
I'm too drugged up to figure the math out but I think I save a few bucks by getting the pack. This new painkiller dosage has me so out of it that I won't even remember this purchase, lol.

Oh good, gaf is back up
How they clarified how the flash deals will work? 4 per day till they expire, then 4 more the next day? I can't see them putting up deals in the middle of the night, but you never know
I guess we'll find out in a little over an hour when the first one runs out

specifically refused to add controller support? what?
Florian only codes in Flash so the game was programmed that way, flash as a platform doesnt support controllers, it has nothing to do with them REFUSING to add controller support..
there's a joy2key config I made in the OT that works wonderfully.

This is my feeling about flash sales: why introduce a urge of buying? Because it is not the best discount the customer could hope.
It's always the middle of the night.

Probably pick up Grimrock in the morning EU time and see what's gone on Flash Deals then.
Has anyone else had a voucher be invalidated after a transaction error?
I tried to buy Serious Sam 3 with the Raptr 75% voucher, I had it in my basket and clicked next to go to the Review & Purchase screen (so I hadn't even clicked the payment button yet), and I got a transaction error.
Now every time I add the game to my basket, the unused voucher shows up, but the discount is listed as "n/a" instead of 75%, and the price is the full sale price of £10.19.
I've tried restarting Steam, but no luck unfortunately.
