Is there a list of all Flash sales so far?

I totally call shenanigans on them for doing this during Comic con.

 

[vaelic]

voted for trine 2

 

[gabbo]

That's a neat idea, although I like going for achievements more than going for highscores.

Also, I'm not all convinced yet there won't still be an achievement hunt during this sale.

Well, we can run one concurrently in that case.

 

[steadfast]

Damn, Valve is fucking relentless:

Yeah, yeah, gamestop....but getting $9 for an old console game will turn into $12 in Steam games....which is like 7 games.

 

[Gav47]

Went Vanilla SR3. Re-bought for the PC! Any idea on what DLC is actually worth it?

From what I've read, none of them, especially not for €10. Maybe wait til the Xmas sale and pick up the season pass when its €4-5.

 

[derExperte]

On my 6870 it was still very playable but it was closer to console FPS than PC FPS... I was pretty much always over 30 but not much more.

6850 + 2500K here and it was always playable at 1680x1050, don't think it dipped under 30.

 

[Kelegacy]

I bought most every game I was interested in at 75% off today, and a few oldies like Arx Fatalis for $2 that was 66% I think.

Got a lot of games already! I hope the Geneforge games hit lower than 50% off, but then again for 5 or 6 games, $10 is not a lot of money. Same with Divine Divinity. Probably won't drop lower since it just released this week I think at $6, so I'll buy it at whatever price it happens to hit. $4 for DD is a steal.

 

[EternalGamer]

Now you have me worrying. I have a 4890 and a OC'd tricore AMD, how badly will that play Saints Row 3

Play it at 720P mid-settings. It will still perform and look better than the console versions and will be the same resolution.

 

[Fantastical]

Almost positive it will. I picked up Vanilla Arma 2 in a previous sale. Now to buy CO and finally play DayZ!

If you have ARMA II don't you only need Operation Arrowhead to make it work? I say this knowing next to nothing about the situation, but looking at CO it's just ARMA II + Operation Arrowhead.

Or maybe you just made a typo. I just don't want you to spend too much money.

 

[davidsaurus]

So if I go to bed now.. before 2am then I'll not know the 2am deal and will be forced to either miss whatever fills the 2-8am slot or get up in the middle of the night to check what it is. Interesting..

 

[toastyToast]

SR3 didn't run too hot on my 5850 either. In the mid 30s most of the time while driving around and sometimes in the 50s when on foot

I scored such a good deal on the THQ site, game including season pass for what was it, $22? This deal barely outdoes it

 

[Kelegacy]

WTF. I don't have much left to trade in at this point though.

[choaffable]

Why would you do that? LOL.

A friend also talked me up on Might & Magic VI. Also, wanted AC: Brotherhood over Revelation, and...um...Goddamn it, you've given me buyer remorse.

Now I'm going to pout while I try to figure out this "Invalid Content Configuration" error Rayman Origins is giving me.

Pretty sure that's the case, if you got Arma II already, you just need Operation ArrowHead.

 

[Card Boy]

So Dark Messiah of Might and Magic for $2.50? Yay or nay?

Awesome; SR3 bought; that's one of 3 on my wishlist, and on the first day!

 

[The_Monk]

Since Trine 2 is what most GAFfers want it that's what I'll be voting for.

 

[MrCunningham]

Fack Valve and fack their sales....

I already bought,
- Portal 2 (been meaning to pick this up for a while)
-Bioshock Collection
-Alan Wake Collection
-Left 4 Dead 2
-Rayman Origins

yeah I think this will keep me busy for a while. And the sales aren't even over yet.

You're probably gonna get steamed. Sorry in advance.

 

[MrFortyFive]

So where do you find the other games that are on sales that aren't dailys? For instance Crysis 2 Max Edition. I would've never known it was 50% off I didn't see it in here...

Any word on this? I also noticed that Alan Wake and Serious Sam 3 are 50% off as well. I'll be waiting to see if they go daily, but it would be nice to have a list of games like this to keep in mind for the last day of the sale/

 

[CosmicQueso]

From what I've read, none of them, especially not for €10. Maybe wait til the Xmas sale and pick up the season pass when its €4-5.

So, you're expressing an opinion based only on what you've "read"? Really? Insightful. Truly.

Yeah, the Shark Attack pack for $1.33 is a steal.

 

[Card Boy]

Did people already get conned by Warlock - Master of the Arcane? i noticed it was like 12bucks earlier. Now it's $6.

 

[Kelegacy]

I bought it. Beat it on 360 but the PC version is much better.

Go to sleep and set an alarm around 6:30-7AM.

Look for games you want in the store, add to wishlist, check wishlist on the last day.

It is now a flash deal so no.

If you do not wait for a deal it is your own damn fault.

*cries*

 

[Stephen_drewz]

I've noticed some prices in my wishlist are different to the prices on the games store page. Example: For me in Australia my wishlist shows Sonic Generations at $29.97(discounted from 49.99). Then when I visit the games page its $17/99(discounted from $29.99)

I dont understand?

Figured it out. I used ?cc=us to check what a game was in US and it must stay that way until you change again.


Seriously, sonic 18$ in the US and 30$ in AUS? Come on.

 

[jaundicejuice]

Sorry if this has been asked adnauseum but if you buy Indie Bundle 1 and own three of the five games (purchasing the bundle for the two you don't still saves money!) Do you get the extra keys to gift to friends?

Repost since I like my idea and I want to know whether you guys are interested or not:

I like it. I'd be willing to pitch in a few games myself if you do it.

 

[scorcho]

yay. Steam Sale on the weekend of my (hopefully not final) birthday! rejoice, internets!

 

[jaundicejuice]

Damn it.

 

[shintoki]

So Dark Messiah of Might and Magic for $2.50? Yay or nay?

Yes, its fantastic. Bit rough on the sides, but its one of the few games that actually had fun, first person combat.

Also Rope Bow is amazing. Rope bow!

 

[luxarific]

Does the Shogun II Total War Collection include all the separate DLC shown on this page? It doesn't appear like it does, but when I looked at the individual components of the Collection they describe units that might be identical to some of the DLC.

Anyone?

 

[LeCapitan]

Nooooooo SR3

Spoiler

just kidding, enjoy it

 

[Ledsen]

Yes, its fantastic. Bit rough on the sides, but its one of the few games that actually had fun, first person combat.

Also Rope Bow is amazing. Rope bow!

Also it's by Arkane, and they're amazing. Everyone should buy both Dark Messiah and Arx Fatalis.

 

[scorpscarx]

Here let me just start the trend that shall be with us for 10 more days:

1 hour 10 minutes until new game goes on sale, get hyped!

 

[vocab]

Anyone?

No.

 

[Shahadan]

I bought the season pass and some vehicles. None were worth it. Seriously.

Dishonored Developers, *Wink Wink*

Yup. Own Dark Messiah on Steam, Arx Fatalis on GoG.

Also, Just get Saints Row Vanilla. DLC is not worth it at all. DLC is either additional weapons or vehicles, many just reskins. And the new content is about an hour, maybe 2 at most long. Once again, just reskinned previous missions for the most part. And very poorly designed, dragged out ones. Like the Saints on Mars one.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

So Warlock is like Civ but with magic?

I could probably just get a Civ mod if I really wanted that.

Opinions?

midway through that. It seems really cool, only reason im still holding off is because of my overall budget

decisions decisions

 

[PaulLFC]

£35 worth of Saints Row DLC (and that's with a third off!) and they didn't even discount any of it properly along with the game. Dear THQ, I am not spending £35 on mediocre DLC, your loss.
