Wow this might be the worst set of dailies yet...so many repeats.

 

[ChronoX]

Pretty much. I bought Risk of Rain and that's it.

My friend bought a four pack of Risk of Rain and we seriously don't get this game.

 

[LiK]

I think I've seen the same game four times in a flash sale, daily and community vote.

Why.

Valve pls

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Oh god, I just realised I drunkenly bought Goat Simulator last night :/

 

[iosefe]

CAUTION

Alan Wake has a high chance of being the community vote, and will get a DEEPER discount

please hold off on your purchase for another 8 hours
move along, nothing to see here

 

[Gangxxter]

is the first F.E.A.R worth getting?

Hell yes!
Very scary atmosphere, some great shock moments, intelligent a.i., cool slow-motion shooting mechanics.

 

[Lomax]

I find the lack of price mistakes disturbing.

Spoiler

How am I going to justify camping on my computer for every rollover?

 

[Madrugador]

KOTOR II is on sale but not the original? Is Valve saying something here?

 

[Nirran]

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the flow of this thread. But it's just not very impressive. We've been trained to see these things as fire sales or at least very good deals. 10% isn't all that impressive when you only have 9 slots a day is all I'm saying.

Your client isn't showing the right prices. There are no 10% off deals today. Keep refreshing.

 

[gorfyako]

Deus Ex: The fall is $2.50.

Is it as godawful as the Metacritic score makes it out to be?

 

[Strider]

I'll say this though. Tropico 4 at $3 is a really good deal and worth buying. Game is really fun.

 

[- J - D -]

Well, at least KOTOR2 is $3.40. Been meaning to get it.

 

[Shackzam]

If the only chance of Broforce getting a greater discount was through the community vote earlier in the sale. I'm gonna be super pissed.

[Sourtreats]

Team Red has already had 4500 points stolen. I think the other teams might be mad.

 

[Mr. Hyde]

I somehow spent a lot of money on this sale and am still unsatisfied. It probably has to do with those stupid community votes and the deals that never were.

rip in peace ikaruga

Yeah... I was in dismay when ikaruga did not win.

 

[Deleted member 57681]

I want Might and Magic X!
BOO!

Deluxe is still 67% off on macgamestore.com

Baldur's Gate as well. There is still hope, though, right?

 

[Turfster]

is the first F.E.A.R worth getting?

God yes.
Still the best shotgun ever.

 

[GitarooMan]

I think either my Steam library is just saturated at this point or it's just been slow for releases, but it's been the slowest sale in years for me. I suspect another issue is the console generational transition has been slowing the number of releases of larger-budget titles in the last few months, and the effects are being felt in the sale.

 

[velociraptor]

The fuck is this sale, it's been absolute wank.

Yep. Utter garbage.

 

[Pyrrhus]

Your client isn't showing the right prices. There are now 10% off deals today. Keep refreshing.

Indeed. Well, that's better. Still, I miss 2010.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Why are people hating steam when it's the pubs/devs who decide if they put their game on sale or not?

No wait nevermind, I know the answer.

Wait, what do you think is the answer?

Valve asks for two things, what your base discount will be, and what you want your special daily/flash max discount to be. Then you send it in and wait just like everyone else to see if it'll be selected.

Can't understand the selections given just how many options they have.

 

[Automatisch]

Baldur's Gate as well. There is still hope, though, right?

I'd probably buy those too even though I have them on GOG and iOS, but no, there is no hope.

 

[Kaisersalsek]

Hell yes!
Very scary atmosphere, some great shock moments, intelligent a.i., cool slow-motion shooting mechanics.

Added to cart, alongside fear 2!

 

[alekth]

Though I'd add KOTOR II to my backlog, but the first one isn't on sale, bleh >_>

On the bright side, I got to coronation on LLTQ.

 

[Jeremy]

You're a Transissttooooorrrr.

I wish I wouldn't have bought System Shock 2 at GOG a few days ago.

It feels just like yesterday we were seeing some of these sales... wait a minute...

What's Reus like?? Worth $2.50?

 

[Lomax]

CAUTION

Alan Wake has a high chance of being the community vote, and will get a DEEPER discount

please hold off on your purchase for another 8 hours

The discount is the same - 85%

Spoiler

the discount is always the same

 

[yoshizzle]

KOTOR II is on sale but not the original? Is Valve saying something here?

I may be wrong, but I believe the same thing happened in the winter sale -- KOTOR II was discounted, KOTOR 1 was not.

Strange.

 

[KJ869]

Payday 2 price error? 80% off?

Was the same earlier so no.

 

[The One Who Knocks]

Sell items for Steam credit. Use Steam credit to buy TF2 keys. Sell them to people in exchange for Paypal cash. You take a slight hit in terms of value, but one of the essences of money laundering is exchanging nominal value of cash for real liquidity.

Oh I see. This was the step in particular that I'd been curious about. I assume this is done through an external site?

 

[Uzzy]

Hell yeah, Transistor with an alright discount. Been waiting on that, glad my patience was rewarded.

 

[waby]

Wooo. got a summer sale Foil card. No way I'm collecting 10 to get a badge, selling it. $2 easy.

I looked at my foil badge progress then saw JaseC having all of them lol

 

[C4rter]

is the first F.E.A.R worth getting?

Definitely, I played it for the second time a few weeks ago, first time was shortly after first release. Couldn't stop playing until it was finished. Pretty, pretty, pretty good.

 

[Chariot]

Google Spreadsheet
Download .ods

 

[nbthedude]

I chose to spend $15 on Shovel Knight for full price yesterday instead of buying the discounted Transistor.

After playing it for an hour and half last night I feel very confident this was the right decision.

 

[chubigans]

But they can only put in games that pubs/devs gave a flash/community/daily discount for, correct? Obviously there aren't as many as we'd like.

That is correct.

I know one game that has a discount that hasn't been chosen. Which is fine as I think even the repeats would probably outsell it 10:1.

 

[unknownstranger]

How does Octodad control with a mouse and keyboard? Should I just wait for a discount on PS4 version?

 

[Kinyou]

Has the Fall been on sale yet? Pretty interested in that one

 

[Femto.]

is the first F.E.A.R worth getting?

The only FEAR worth getting.

Second one was alright, the third one...ugh

 

[Mozendo]

Deluxe is still 67% off on macgamestore.com

As much as I would love to get it I only have Steam wallet funds from selling cards.
Doubt anyone would want to trade for a game for the same price.

 

[Turfster]

But they can only put in games that pubs/devs gave a flash/community/daily discount for, correct? Obviously there aren't as many as we'd like.

There are a lot of devs that submitted their deals and haven't seen anything appear.
Look at all the community vote stuff that hasn't come back, for example.

What's Reus like?? Worth $2.50?

Kinda grindy, but worth 2.5$

 

[gngf123]

Alan Wake in the community vote. While on a flash sale.

And I bet the community will still fucking vote for it.

 

[Copons]

This really sucks. I don't know why they keep repeating sales. There's plenty of games with featured discounts that never got a chance. ;_;

Well there's four more chances anyways.

Well, actually you have far more chances than 4 if you consider flashes and communities.

Don't mean to be rude (and you know very well how much I love your game), but I guess Valve just doesn't see in CSD a viable opportunity for a daily - and honestly in daily I've usually seen AAA or famous indies etc.
Nonetheless, CSD has already been featured once in a flash sale, so hell, considering how some games are repeating since 2005 or something, if Valve doesn't push it again, uh.. something would be very wrong in how the handle deals.

 

[Rhaknar]

CAUTION

Alan Wake has a high chance of being the community vote, and will get a DEEPER discount

please hold off on your purchase for another 8 hours

but its 85% now and it says 85% in the vote?

 

[Nabs]

But they can only put in games that pubs/devs gave a flash/community/daily discount for, correct? Obviously there aren't as many as we'd like.

I doubt a dev/pub would give their game one discount and not another. This is on Valve.

 

[898]

Bought:
Battleblock theatre/Castle Crashers
sleepy dawgs dlc or something idk

Missed:
Valiant Hearts
Transformers
Pacman

So, 2 days of repeats?

 

[natertots]

Still no SSFIVAE..sigh

 

[Teppic]

KOTOR 2 is tempting. How is that game? I heard it was rushed and kind of unfinished.

 

[Krakle]

Bought Resident Evil 4 HD, Goat Simulator and Octodad.
