again, had the same discount earlier in the sale

thats the first one too, which probably nobody wants with 2 out

 

[Automatisch]

The Fear games any good guys? Should I get the first or the whole bundle?

Get the bundle if there's not much of a price diff. I love the original and 2. The XPs are okay if you really really liked the original. 3 is sort of fun coop but it's not a good game by any means.

 

[Deleted member 57681]

First one is great, 2nd one is alright, 3rd is t3rribl3.

ftfy

 

[Shadownet]

Sounds like a real active GAF group for Payday 2. Sweet. I generally dislike playing with random people in co-op. I don't mind killing randoms, but co-op is a different story. I'll probably pick it up.

I PM you...anyone wanna do a 4 pack Payday 2 buy??

 

[FiveElementNinja]

I'm locked out of the market, so throwing this out there. Would anyone wanna trade System Shock 2 to me (I own it, wanna gift it to my cousin), vs. my 31 cards and witcher 2 booster pack?

You'll come out ahead, I just really want him to experience the game.

I'll do it.

 

[TheExhaustedWalrus]

The original is rough around the edges, it shows its age in UI and graphics. Still a great game though. I don't think I've ever heard anybody say anything positive about Invisible War. I'll be the first: Nobody ever forced me to play Deus Ex Invisible War, so fortunately I have no opinion on the game itself.

Guess I'll just buy the original, then.

 

[evilpigking]

Is anyone doing a 4pack on AoE2? Or is there another thread for such things.

 

[PhoenixFyre]

Loading up Bad Rats for the first time. If I'm not back in 20 minutes, tell my girlfriend I love her.

 

[toastyToast]

i'm tempted to grab transistor even if it's only 25% off

like everything about that game is perfect for me but the price lol

Bear in mind it includes both a humming and twirling simulator.

 

[-COOLIO-]

What lesson would it teach them? To buy from other retailers and give Valve less money? Very productive.

i see his point though. at the end of the day, this is just a sale. they're lowering prices on certain games and you can take it or leave it. i dont really feel like im owed something because the last few steam sales were amazing or whatever. rather, i just leave it at "that last sale was awesome, so far this sale isnt as awesome, but there's still some good deals" and move on, rather than throw a fit. feel me?

i mean this sale is still far better than any other sale ive looked at this year, barring some amazing humble bundles. so i can't bring myself to anger over it being possibly sub par compared to their other amazing sales.

The Fear games any good guys? Should I get the first or the whole bundle?

Coming off the 360 version the first Fear is a must play, with some of the most fun gunplay and encounters in a modern FPS till this day.

I own Fear 2 and 3 but haven't played them yet to give an opinion on those games

 

[AstuteClass]

Thanks guys, I'll just stick to the first FEAR then.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Can I get an invite? I'm jumping in on this deal.

http://steamcommunity.com/id/blak_status

I've sent you a FR, it won't let me invite you via the link.

again, had the same discount earlier in the sale

thats the first one too, which probably nobody wants with 2 out

So, to be clear, you are saying that a game on sale that PAYS YOU £1.51 for buying it, is not an error?

 

[YianGaruga]

again, had the same discount earlier in the sale

Payday has a negative price with like 104% off

 

[Seanspeed]

Didn't get assetto corsa when it was on sale earlier this week, thinking I could maybe wait for project cars instead. But maybe this would be good to tide me over? Is it good with a wheel (DFGT)?

YES!

Seriously, if you like driving sims, this is a must-have.

And is F1 2013 worth it if I already have 2012?

No.

 

[Lulubop]

Transistor or Shovel Knight? Hmm.

 

[KiraFA37]

Bear in mind it comes includes both a humming and twirling simulator.

The first one was in Bastion to, but the second one is new, so, god, damn, tempting.

 

[Shadownet]

Loading up Bad Rats for the first time. If I'm not back in 20 minutes, tell my girlfriend I love her.

Okay I'll tell your girlfriend "I love her"

 

[TheExhaustedWalrus]

Also, I just don't see PAC-Man Champ DX getting any lower, it never does. I love that game so much. Think I'll just go ahead and buy that mega bundle, great deal.

 

[Dongs Macabre]

I know you want some FEAR :3

Thanks for FEAR!

 

[zkylon]

Just do it. I paid full price and felt like it was a good value. Even though it's only 25% off, it's still a great deal.

i wonder if it'll be on encore sales

Bear in mind it comes includes both a humming and twirling simulator.

i have no idea what this means

but that excites me

 

[Bel_Air_Jeff]

Transistor is not very good.. Very boring gameplay, slow moving characters, awful enemies. Bastion is a much better game.

 

[derExperte]

If someone missed it the Puppygames Ultrabundle is still 90% off (individual games too) and an awesome deal.

 

[Arthea]

So, to be clear, you are saying that a game on sale that PAYS YOU £1.51 for buying it, is not an error?

you can't buy a game when price is negative, there is no add to cart button.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

You can't buy it.

I know lol, but a minus sale price is not in any way correct.

you can't buy a game when price is negative, there is no add to cart button.

Is it wrong that I own it and tried anyway?

 

[gorfyako]

Yes. It is a really buggy tablet port. An OT or 2 ago people were posting animation glitch gifs. I believe totalbiscuit did a video on it.

Thanks, and thanks y'all for the other answers.

... I still think I'm gonna buy it, though.

 

[Blak_Status]

I've sent you a FR, it won't let me invite you via the link.

Ok... accepted

 

[Grief.exe]

Only a few bucks left in my wallet. Should I pick up System Shock 2?

You're literally a bad person if you haven't played ss2.

 

[fallout]

There are a lot of factors that affect your perceived quality of the sale: price point, game interest, backlog level, meta-game involvement, finances, etc.

I've picked up more this time around than I did during the Holiday Sale. I think a lot of that has to do with a few games hitting certain price points and just a general desire to play some of them now.

 

[rrs]

Guess I can play that mobile Deus Ex game on my phone rather than on PC if it's a buggy port

Thanks for FEAR!

No problem

 

[toastyToast]

The first one was in Bastion to, but the second one is new, so, god, damn, tempting.

You can hold a button down and get a humming version of all the tracks. It's amazing

And you can do a little twirl in between battles

;_;

 

[DaBargainHunta]

If someone missed it the Puppygames Ultrabundle is still 90% off (individual games too) and an awesome deal.

Since we're highlighting deals people have missed, Sword of the Stars: The Pit - Gold Edition (with Steam key and DLC) is $1.74 on Amazon vs. the regular edition on Steam (no DLC) for the same price. There's a demo on the Steam store, which I sunk an hour into last night...very addictive.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Only a few bucks left in my wallet. Should I pick up System Shock 2?

Abso-damn-lutely.

 

[Anustart]

Thanks to everyone who offered, got System Shock 2, thanks FiveElementNinja!

My cousin better love this game as much as I did.

 

[The One Qoo]

Age of Mythology, Dishonored, and some Payday 2 DLC get !!!!

 

[Stuggernaut]

Lame!

I followed a link on here yesterday for Arkham Origins someone posted where Amazon had the deluxe edition for $5, but did not notice that on Amazon when you clicked the link to change it to deluxe, it changed the game to "Arkham Origins: Blackgate". Did not notice till just now lol.

Seems shady of Amazon to do it that way. And stupid of me not to notice lol.

Think Origins will go on sale again before the end? I think it was at $7.49.

 

[Danielsan]

Massive thank you to kurahador for The Secret World. Excited to check it out.

 

[Caerith]

Good deal, made even better that M&M money can be used for it without locking you out of the market.

 

[Toki767]

Transistor or Shovel Knight? Hmm.

I'm leaning towards Shovel Knight myself, but it's not on sale.

 

[Fracas]

If I buy FFXIV from Amazon, do I get a Steam key?

 

[LiK]

If I buy FFXIV from Amazon, do I get a Steam key?

Nope

 

[t0rment]

We have a gaf group.

can i get an invite? http://steamcommunity.com/id/lkpsytr
also, is the dlc worth it?

 

[billmcdougal]

Abso-damn-lutely.

I bought it in the last sale and haven't found the inspiration to play it yet.

 

[freshVeggie]

I don't get it. Alan Wake is a flash and also possibly on the next community batch?
Why?
There are so many games on steam, why all the repeats?
So many other games could get sale spikes. Seems like wasted oppprtunity.

 

[Cheesewheel]

Dear Valve,

Please put Broforce on sale instead of a repeat.

 

[TheExhaustedWalrus]

Here my last purchase for the sale:
Europa Universalis IV
PAC-Man Champ DX
Deus Ex GOTY
Payday 2 Armored Transport

Unless something I want goes on a crazy good sale, I think I'm done.

 

[KenOD]

If I buy FFXIV from Amazon, do I get a Steam key?

It will say on the page if it's available or not on Steam. Once at the top and once again somewhere down below, so just use the in-page search function of your browser. If you can't find it, it's not Steam redeemable.

 

[Vuze]

omigosh

Best gift ever? Probably.
