[goober]

It makes the sale exciting ALL DAY LONG.

For the hardcore like you and me and the rest of GAF muahauhauhuhauahauha

 

[Koroviev]

Just took the plunge and bought Legend of Grimmrock. I'd been wanting to play that ever since I saw the Quick Look. Hard to resist for 6 bucks.

First time I ever bought anything using the iOS App. Scary that I can send Gaben my money even from the bus.

This pleases Gaben.

 

[Fireblend]

So, I'll ask again: is there a good metroidvania available on these deals?

I think Terraria kind of qualifies as a Metroidvania, but it's a far shot for sure.

 

[RetroGreg]

Hard Reset is great. Setting and graphics are amazing. Works with a 360 pad for anyone curious as well. Well spent money.

 

[ismaboof]

I'm in for Bttf. $6 is worth the curiosity.

 

[Salsa]

Works with a 360 pad for anyone curious as well.

sounds like a nightmare for this game

 

[strem]

Yeah it is really a fantastic game

 

[Huevos de Oro]

Hopefully Aquaria will be a daily or a flash deal.

 

[JaseC]

This pleases Gaben.

Just look how jolly he is!

 

[Elginer]

old school shooter no reload constant enemies lots of jumping kinda strafing and avoiding enemies

think Serious Sam but with a sci-fi setting

Spoiler

and I personally think it's better

it's algo a gorgeous looking game

Hot damn that sounds awesome. BOUGHT! Thanks Salsa.

 

[ksdixon]

Am I correct in thinking that I need to pounce on SR:3rd, because that deal with die once Magika, Trine 2 and LIMBO replace it as the ''flash sale''?

 

[Tess3ract]

Stuck between getting Sideway New York and Hard Reset, how's Hard Reset? Any good?

If you like older style shooters with some interesting customize mechanics that are pretty shallow, go for it.

Interesting guns, art direction, level design, music. Enemies are lacking in variety iirc but everything looks the same when it's dead IMO.

 

[Koroviev]

Just look how jolly he is!

The image I had in mind was a little more sinister.

 

[feel]

Anyone played E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy? It looks like Deus Ex, and I loved me some Deus Ex.

Caught my interest for that reason too, and it seems nice from the videos I've seen. It's just 4 bucks iirc, I put it on my "buy on last day if it doesn't have a better sale" list.

 

[Lingitiz]

$20 bucks spent so far and more to follow today. Its not looking good for my $100 or less goal.

 

[Levyne]

Am I correct in thinking that I need to pounce on SR:3rd, because that deal with die once Magika, Trine 2 and LIMBO replace it as the ''flash sale''?

Yeah 4 hours 20 minutes

 

[Atilac]

Anyone else get a CS GO invite?

 

[Retne]

Last time I tried to play E.Y.E. I was really confused by most of it. Next time I attempt to take a dip I think I'll watch a couple youtube tutorials so I actually know what the hell is going on beyond shooting random dudes and failing to hack stuff.

 

[Resilient]

Anyone else get a CS GO invite?

Nope But I would gladly take it if you have no use for it

 

[shintoki]

I've been expecting flash sales for a year now, or some sort of shorter, daily sale. Why? because there are just too many games. Between every sale, another 30-40 games which will do well enough on sale get added. Plus we have to have another 5$ Dead Space Franchise, Mass Effect, etc. The older ones have to be repeated again for the 10th time.

So I think this is Valve largely testing the pool to find that sweet spot.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Can't sleep, sales will get me!

It's 4 here too. 1 hour until the next Flash Deal. Mmmmm...

I know that feel. I have all sorts of alarms set for myself.

Gaben is going to make people die of sleep deprivation.

Here you have GAF, in two versions!
I still cant sleep

 

[NaM]

I'm gonna buy SR:TT and the imminent Trine 2 deal.

 

[ElectricBlue187]

It makes the sale stressful ALL DAY LONG.

yeah

 

[Smash88]

I think many gaffers will feel/look like this:

 

[Ketch]

Does Rayman look better on PC then PS3?

 

[Huevos de Oro]

Fuck sleeping. DEALS is all I need.

 

[ElectricBlue187]

Buy Crusader Kings 2 if you enjoy insane amounts of complexity

 

[~Kinggi~]

This sale just proves Valve's think-tank is having too much damn fun now. Damn experiments.

 

[Koroviev]

Fuck sleeping. DEALS is all I need.

Deals, coffee and ice cream sustained me all day.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

So should I buy the Franchise Pack version of SR:3rd with the DLC packs?

 

[NervousXtian]

THQ pack is so tempting.

Hmm... gonna have to pull trigger on SR3 soon... really wanted on 360.. but this price.. so good.

 

[Koroviev]

This sale just proves Valve's think-tank is having too much damn fun now. Damn experiments.

It's all for science.

GAF keeps telling me that I post too much

 

[Tess3ract]

So should I buy the Franchise Pack version of SR:3rd with the DLC packs?

I hear the dlc packs aren't anything special. I'm thinking of just getting the base game and getting the dlc when it's cheaper hopefully this winter

 

[chixdiggit]

I got to recommend Warlock Master of the Arcane. I bought it at full price and wasn't disappointed. If you like Civilization type games this is a steal at $6.79

 

[MachoSuave]

I think Terraria kind of qualifies as a Metroidvania, but it's a far shot for sure.

Last I asked about Steam metroidvanias I was told to keep an eye on Saira.

Seems quite interesting but was unfortunately released in a time before indies were considered front-page worthy and thus was doomed to obscurity from the off. Still, it's something I'll be picking up this sale.

 

[Caerith]

SR3 better with a KB/mouse or 360 controller?

I preferred KB/mouse, found it easier to aim. Had no problems with controlling the game, even driving/flying. Try both, see what fits you.

 

[Joe Molotov]

I think many gaffers will feel/look like this:

I wish I had some cooling pads.

 

[TheApatheticOne]

Would love to see some craziness on Alpha Protocol!

Really, really want to get Arma II, but Im going to hold off for now.

 

[JaseC]

Does Rayman look better on PC then PS3?

Only if your PC display is of a higher resolution than 1080p (the console versions are 1080p native).

 

[JJDubz]

I totally would have bought the Bethesda pack if Brink didn't exist.

 

[Kifimbo]

That new economist will have some fun !

 

[Tess3ract]

I got warlock in a game of four others for $15 on amazon and I feel that's about how much it's worth. I like civ games and was disappointed from a mechanical standpoint.

 

[gutterboy44]

Holy shit is Spacechem an amazingly clever game. Don't miss the flash sale. This game is pure crack.

 

[TheExodu5]

Yep. SpaceChem is ingenious.

 

[sazzy]

The Flash sales are brilliant a marketing move. It keeps people glued in ALL DAY to Steam.

I wonder what's next. 1 hour flash sale? 5 mins? 1 min? :I

 

[Brick]

That new economist will have some fun !

Haha was just thinking that.

 

[Amagon]

Here you have GAF, in two versions!
I still cant sleep

I hate my life right now.

 

[chixdiggit]

SR3 better with a KB/mouse or 360 controller?

Keyboard and mouse all the way.

 

[frozzted]

Would love to see some craziness on Alpha Protocol!

I bought it when it was $2 awhile ago. (So why can't it go on sale for that price again?)

 

[sazzy]

Holy shit is Spacechem an amazingly clever game. Don't miss the flash sale. This game is pure crack.

Yep. SpaceChem is ingenious.

Its really really really good.

Unfortunately, the average joe gamer is going to be put off immediately by it. Stuff like bondings/multiple bonds with certain elements. I don't think people want to recall the periodic table, unless you like chemistry haha

So brilliant, though.
