Ok, I have a conspiracy theory about why green is killing it now... There might be a bunch of big spenders, that came together and decided to drive purple and then they won they had all the "change team tokens" that were expensive, so they sold them all and bought into green that were cheap and now they drive green and then the cycle repeats. Somehow that there is money to be made that way or at least it pays for itself. You just need to a big initial investment to get the ball rolling.

"Buy" shows the amount of cards listed on the market and the starting price; "Sell" shows the amount of buy orders and the starting price. They're not the same thing. When you put in a buy order, you're effectively saying "This is what I want to buy and how much I'm willing to part with to do so."

Ah ok, now I get it. It's just saying "I want to buy it dirt cheap" but if nobody offers, they are not getting it for this amount.

Yeah. By default, the buy order form automatically selects the lowest listed price, but you can change to this to something lower still if you wish.

About to buy UnEpic...talk me out of it?

The user reviews make it sound awesome. Let me say this, I've seen the names D&D and Castlevania used to describe it. I've never played D&D (games roughly based on its mechanics not included), but I do love me some CV. These two franchises being mentioned make me think that it may be similar to Harmony of Despair? Is this remotely comparable?

Quoting myself...about to buy this. Or no? What are people's opinions on UnEpic?

Betrayer is not that good imo. Also I bet that it will go on sale pretty frequently from now on and is a likely candidate for a bundle, since I doubt that it was a big hit.

Everybody vote for BG!!!

Assassins Creed 2 really shines at night imo. Now if only this port wasn't so consolesque with objects popping in five meters ahead of you and textures being unloaded five behind.
Click to expand...

Asscreed 2's PC port is a mess, and if I remember right it's borked in a way that actually makes it look worse than the console version (e.g I think there's something with shadow draw distance that's fucked up on PC that is better on console). AC2 is actually kind of a marvel on 360, I think it's full 720p with 4x MSAA.

Thankfully the AC:B and Rev PC ports are really good. III and IV not as much, though.

Yo, Green has more than Purple and Blue together.
Hopefully it getting more ridicilous with Green having more than all the other four.

I really hope Gunpoint shows up later at 75% anyway. It's one of the few games I've been waiting for.
Click to expand...

It was 75% off before the sale started and 75% off once during the sale so far. You missed out twice lol. Hopefully you'll a third time? It would be nice if steam had some sort of auto buy feature if a game ever goes on sale for a percent you choose.

What do you think of the 'still images' cutscenes? They just 'make' the game for me.
Click to expand...

I actually like them. I cant tell if they are like that for budget reasons, they dont seem particulary complex to pull out with the game engine, so maybe its a choice, Im not sure. But I dig them. But im a big fan of dioramas, which they remind me of, so.

Yeah I also noticed shadow drawing is fucked up. Some look really good and sharp, some are a jaggied mess and others esp. on buildings tend to be drawn / undrawn when you approach them lol
Atleast performance is great for me.

Anyone here from EU country? Need someone who can help me buy FFXIV RR CE.
I'll paypal.
Click to expand...

I could help, but you know that \/

The PAL version of FINAL FANTASY® XIV: A Realm Reborn™ will require a European & other Regions Square Enix Account to play.
Click to expand...

I don't quite know what other regions mean, but I assume PAL ones.
And it's excluded from Steam's Family Sharing service too.

Also it costs 17,49€ now, and it's cheaper in any other region, literally, including Australia.

Yeah, with AssCreed 2 PC it seems as though the LOD system was reduced to its worst possible state during testing and nobody ever reversed this, even post-launch. As you say, though, Brotherhood and Revelations are fine, as is the original game. 3 looks great, but it has performance issues in towns due to the game dedicating much of its processing tasks to a single thread, and the tessellation system used for snow deformation can impose similar performance penalties in the Frontier during winter. Black Flag fared better initially, however the PhysX patch also introduced cloth physics, which unlike the PhysX effects cannot be disabled, so there was a performance loss across the board.

I can't believe I've just bought both FF7 and FF8... as if I ever going to play them again, maybe when I go down for good I'll give them a last farewell, whenever that may be.

That's right, otherwise Steam would turn into a money laundering front

If COH2 shows up later as a daily/flash deal will I have trouble picking it up considering I have the multiplayer access that Alienware gave away? It's the same app as the full game, that's why I am worried

You shouldnt buy the games in a bulk.

If you want a game from your wishlist, wait for a daily/flash/community sale. Usually they could become cheaper.

If it didnt become cheaper till the 30th, buy it then.

What didn't you like about betrayer? I plan on buying it. The setting looks creepy and exploration seems relaxing.
