Just bought Rocksmith , it is one of the hardest games I've ever played. Never have I felt more tempted to chuck the "controller" across the room.

Ugh, I should not have bought Age of Wonders 3. I loaded up a game. The UI and controls seem so disjointed and unintuitive.

what last one you got?
it was in this order:
Omerta
Still Life 2
Torchlight
American Nightmare
You mean the Alan Wake game? I already have it, so I'm not too broken up about it.

If it had been something good/I didn't already own, I'd have been mildly irritated, but life would have gone on.

Oh yeah - contribooted to #TeamRed's inevitable victory. One point is better than none, even if it was from a Bad Rats badge.

i've been wanting to buy this for the longest time but never have because it's still too expensive for my taste plus i'd have to buy the cord to plug my guitar in. it's like the perfect motivation for me to actually learn how to play electric.

So I was an idiot and somehow entered two giveaways for The Blackwell Bundle and also somehow won both. The second giver has informed me to raffle it off again so here we go. That generous person was Shadownet btw.

This sale has sucked so far. Didn't realize just how much Steam has been overtaken by indie, early access, and ftp stuff. The average quality of titles seems to be slipping.

Oh no, not indies. The horror! The nerve of those damn indie developers trying to participate in this sale.

But seriously, if the discounts in the AAA space are bad, it's because of the big publishers, not indies. Or you just already own all of the games that normally get good deals.

I'll agree with you on early access, if only because you never get deep discounts on games that aren't released yet. But I guess if its a game you wanted to pick up anyway, 25-50% off probably isn't to bad.

So I was just offered Galactic Civilisations III Founder's Elite Edition on steamtrades for a rare game I have.

Why exactly is it like €100? I dont understand why the game is so expensive.
 
Just a heads up.
The Ship Complete is 0,99
Chivalry + Deadliest Warrior 7,99
on Bundlestars. Both redeemable on Steam plus the Ship comes with 2 extra copies for gifting.
Pretty good Deal.

Chivalry Complete is lowest ever. Deal lasts 1day 23 hours from now.
So the usual approach of waiting for deals/last day on Steam is out.

Waiting only for ~ 2 days. If no better deal by then on Steam, then I'm got them both

Bear in mind the Russian price is only £30ish, so if it's a really rare game you may be getting ripped off.

As for why it's that price, it includes all the expansions and DLC they'll ever release. They've said they're planning on releasing content for it for a good couple of years.

Right!? I really never win these things... At least I've got some fun point and click adventure games to get going on!

Oh I see. Thanks for the info. I passed on the trade. Still holding out for an offer of DAYZ for the game (007 legends).

I'm not sure I understand why Steam is charging for these, but here it goes -

We're pretty much hitting the half point today, so roll call! How much have you spent on the sale so far?

Go to badge section > summer cards > click on 'How do I earn card drops?'

You have spent approximately $109.63 USD in the store since the sale began.

Yikes.

If you pay for the beta. Do you still have to pay for the actual game when it come out?

I have no idea how it works to be honest, I don't really play MP games. I thought they were giving it away but the store is charging 10 bucks so I guessed some people might be interested.
