I have a theory its people having regrets for not buying it the first time that keep voting for the same games, or
that people are stupid
To be honest, I just voted for the Borderlands 2 group, because I don't care for any of the games in the second one. So I guess I am part of the problem too :/

maybe tomorrow it rains
Cheers, outunderthestars.

Still planning on giving out a couple copies if it hits $2.50. It's a top 5 shmup, for sure.
 
Sorry about that, lol.

I'm still half awake. But i agree with you now that it should have a bigger discount. :)

Lol to be fair I did have to go and check when it actually came out, it was February.. Doesn't seem that long ago. Just means I'll stick it out until Christmas, I guess. Perhaps a 66% or 75% discount then if we're lucky.

Really my only almost certain pick today is Dishonored GOTY. I might get Beat Hazard and RE4HD. Last time I tried to play RE4 it felt dated though...

Worth getting GOTY edition vs base for Dishonored?
Fuck yes it is. Just do the maths:

Dishonored GOTY - £6.79 (contains all the items below)

Dishonored vanilla - £2.49
+ Brigmore Witches - £3.99
+ Knife Of Dunwall - £3.99
+ Dunwall City Trials - £1.74
+ Void Walker's Arsenal - £1.58
Total - £13.97

Even without the Void Walker's Arsenal (just a weapons pack, not necessary for gameplay), it's a simple equation. If it's anything like this in the USA, I say go for GOTY stat.
 
RE4, maybe.

I dunno about RE6 since it's very polarizing here but i personally loved the game, more than RE5.

I personally have been playing Resident Evil 6 every day since I bought it a few weeks ago. All the things they say about the combat system are true: it's fun, addictive, and makes you feel like a bad-ass. The story is a bit eh so don't expect much out of it. And that's actually the secret to enjoying the story mode. Don't take it seriously and you'll have some fun.

On second thoughts, I just checked tomorrow's incoming weekly pay and I'm having a random $200 bonus on top of my normal pay.

That... was unexpected... and damn awesome.

RE4 it is, too!
 
Weren't people saying that the "Enhanced Editions" of Baldur's Gate were significantly worse, or was that only the first one?

It was the first one but it was fixed. Second one is fine from what I've played. For BG2 you're still gonna get a lot of people arguing that just modding the original is better, but I'm not a fan of playing BG1 with TuTu vs the EE.

I always wanted AC Brotherhood and Dishonored looks interesting too, but seeing how I already spent 60€ on games and looking at my backlog... I think I can wait until the next sale.

Am I the only one who's constantly confused at how the pricing works on the community market? If, say, I put an item on sale at $1 (where I'd receive $0.8 or something) I can never figure out which one of those values the other users will see, and what's monitored by the price graph. Like, if the graph tells me that item's been selling at $1 recently, and I want to match that, should I put $1 in the 'buyer pays' or 'you receive' box?

(yet another aspect where's steam's UI is way below standards)

Gonna mix things up a little this time, I will be giving away two of the games depicted in the banner, one per category.

Rules/Gist of things *please read it is important

- There will be several ways to enter, you can either draw a picture (one catagory), do a dramatic reading or write a fanfiction (the ladder two being grouped together).

- The theme for the artwork will be pin-ups of your favorite video game characters. Hint: Mine is Mistral from Metal Gear. ;) That or you can be creative and draw propaganda for the various teams of the Steam Sale.

- Yes, I am trying to get you to draw porn for me!

- But seriously if you do go for pin-ups, try to keep it appropriate for this site.

- As for the second category the only requirement is that the fan fictions need to be at least 500 words long, aside from that be creative as you want.

- Like last time please PM me when you post you submission, so I don't miss any. Apologizes for any that I missed last time.

- The deadline is until when ever the timer at the bottom of this post runs out.

- My sister will judge the artwork, while some other guy I know on Steam will judge the fanfics/dramatic readings.

- Sister might live stream the selection for the drawings here, though she's not sure yet.

- Will post who won sometime after the deadline and will gift you your prize through Steam.

EDIT: Also Vulcano's Assistant is banned from this giveaway cause he won last time, though you can still draw a sexy pin-up for me if you want, hint, hint. ;P

Also thanks to Chariot with some of the ideas!

And extended deadline by few hours!

I have last years (this years, now?) version, but given how the devs are scumbags about negative reviews and other stuff, I never even installed it. :(

I'm still waiting for them to bundle the California/San Diego line with the base game as well.

Why isn't Resident Evil: OCR on sale?

Because it's a terrible game. People don't call it "Operation Turd City" for nothing.

Next.

It is a great game, I love it! I haven't played the original, so I can't compare it to that really. My understanding is that it plays differently, so people expecting it to be like the original Rome were disappointed. Thats what I came away with, though like I said it is a fun game and I enjoy playing it, PM me if you want to play it w/ me. :D

Might take you up on that. Though I'm not very good at those style games for some reason felt an itch for that style of game. I was trying to decide between that one and Shogun.
 
Welp, today was my big splurge day.

Assassin's Creed 4 with season pass and Resident Evil 4+6.

I think the only thing left I want is Dragon Commander and Divekick.
