That pic reminded me of this GTA Vice City radio commercial, which I was listening to this morning. That stuff Rockstar made is incredible.Looks like the Summer Sale has entered a period of McCarthyism. May Gaben help us all.

listen to the mad man
I mean, if you're in an area where pre-paid cards are all that exists, that sucks. But in any other case I'd suggest just using Paypal on Steam (and hooking Paypal up to your bank account instead of credit) or using a real credit card. Valve just recently implemented the industry standard for vast payment verification, but it doesn't work on pre-paid cards because you can't check your recent transactions properly.
lol
I appreciate the pun, but not the use of punctuation.
Maybe the S stands for stealth? Though I've never head someone call a first person stealth game an FPS.
Just need one number 5 Summer card and I'll be able to craft my Summer Badge for the very first time. And still plenty of opportunities for one to arrive, nice!
I have a spare 5 if you need one

Oh is it? Well, well now. I had no idea.
Thanks for the info! Didn't realize how valuable these things can get. I've mostly seen cards sub 50 cents when I've peaked out of curiosity.

Civ V. Never played any of these types of games before.
Worth throwing $7.49 to jump in?

RE4 is a more polished and generally better designed game, but RE6 has a pretty nice evolution of the same combat system, and I found it a bit hard to go back to RE4 once you get good with RE6.
Yeah, it does seem like the Steam votes are always for either the more popular games or those with particularly deep discounts, and with them bundled together even the deep discounts can get overshadowed easily. At least there's a better chance for some games that could really stand to go on sale getting on sale this way, and sometimes you either own everything and just want to put up favorites or really did miss out on some popular game that went on sale a few hundred times, though it's still aggravating how often something that rarely goes on sale get blocked.

Anyone who expected some big discount on RE4 is silly. This is literally the first time it's been on sale, released on Steam only a few months ago, and its base discount was 20% off. 40% is actually more than I was expecting (was expecting 33% off).

I wish there were flash sales on RE:R and RE4, I would've bought them in a lower price than their daily deal prices.

I'd recommend the complete pack over just the base game. If you take your time to learn how to play the game, you might have a ton of fun with it.

depends on your amount of free time.

god yes.
Last year was my first introduction to the genre and started with civ5 and loved it so much
How big is your backlog? And do you actually want to play the game?

But when's the sale?
This is the random head I see in Twitch all the time? who is he?
If you're not in a hurry to play it, wait. Maybe it will be -75%, maybe not - but who cares as long as you don't mind waiting.
If you get it, get brave new world...skip gods and kings. Only pick that up if you want more scenarios.

Kappa. Some engineer that worked at Twitch at some point iirc.
Will you play them immediately?
If yes, it's worth it at that price.
Hell, I paid retail and got more than my money's worth out of base and Knife+Witches
I never killed anyone and never used any of the weapons.
Pretty sure that's how it's intended to be played.

Just get the GotY edition, it'll be cheaper than buying the DLC separate (even at 75% off)

This Steam sale has been mediocre. Games showing up during votes, flash, and then dailies. What a waste. As if there aren't enough games on Steam to sell.

Do you agree that it won't get lower during this sale?
well if you end up enjoying the game there is a decent chance you will spend hundreds of hours in it. Is that something you are ok with
most people I know who enjoy the civ games have well over 200 hours in each version lol.
personally I would just go with civ 4 complete though I haven't played the expansions to 5 yet to see if it makes it better than 4 yet.

I'd reccomend the complete pack as well! There's a very steep learning curve to Civ 5, especially if you haven't played any Civ games, but it's very rewarding. (And there's a great tutorial.) I have tons of hours in the game, and it's also a blast with friends. The new game mechanics added in the expansions make it much better.

I tried to get in on Civ multiple times, once with a friend who's an absolute fanboi. I never understood the goal of Civ at all. Good luck, hopefully you can make sense of it.
Ok. Now this is probably the most accurate answer (regarding my confused question) I had!
I'll hold for now, and see if someone will convince me to definitely buy it.
Now from the perspective of someone who did enjoy Steamworld Dig.
First of all, aye, it is not a Metroidvania or even the Zillon-Like some people mix up the two, but it is an open world (well, free to go ground) that expands bit by bit as you get new abilities or tools.
To many they saw no challenge in the digging or the played the game with the mindset of "digging so you can dig some more", but my mindset was that of seeking out all the treasure I could and effectively building a series of tunnels to traverse around this underground world in. I created the paths, I created the easy and difficult jumps, I created the situations where I would be able to get to the treasure or mess myself up and be blocked off from ever claiming it and that was the "puzzle" aspect of it to me. How could I make a tunnel system that would let me claim all that I sought and desired in this game world. I guess I got something out planning much in advance, rather than just running and digging toward treasure with no care or thought to how much easier or harder it would be later on.
I fully understand the perspective others had with it, seeing it as a chore or feeling empty, as I have it with Minecraft and other crafting games where "you just collect more stuff to make more stuff so you can collect more stuff" and I find that boring to my preferences. Yet I know full well that they are experiences of your own making, albeit in different ways and a lot of the enjoyment I got from Steamworld Dig was how much I put into trying to make this great tunnel system and how often I would push my character as far as he could at points with little light or water, but still make it back in time.
I honestly can't say you would like it or not as it is one of those titles that can either seem utterly devoid of meaningful purpose or an experience you can really sink into (no pun intended), but I say it's worth a try at the current cost.
Well, mechanically it is. You are in first person and you do shoot weapons or powers. Genre wise though, I put it as a stealth game.

The game is worth the money so the question is, will you play it before the winter sale? If not, just wait. If yes, I doubt you'll regret paying the current price, it's a fantastic game.
welcome to the last 4 or 5 sales, this has been happening for years now, its not new
If you let typo's and grammer get the best of you, your going too have a miserable time on the internet.

A vote for goat is a vote for Blands.
this is something I wish steam would stop doing so much.
borderlands doesn't need to go on sale 4 times... it just doesn't it should be limited to twice period and that is including the last day of repeat sales... so if it's going to be part of that, it can only be a daily before then. if it's not going to be part of that, it can show back up near the end in a vote or flash.
I mean with so many games on steam it's just goofy that the last few days tend to be 50% or more games that have already been on sale, with a number of them on time 3 for sale.

I'm a little stumped here.
When I go to the package page there are tons of dishonoreds.

I can't see those two things you said. What am I doing wrong?
Edit:
Ok, there are two warning boxes on the RU store page. One says "this game only contains en, ru etc. languages" the other one says "this game is not giftable in your region". I guess this means if I get a key for this key from the RU store, I won't be able to activate and play it here in Germany? Did I understand right?

This is bad advice you know. The base game and Brave New World alone will cost $15. The Complete Edition is $2 more and includes Gods and Kings as well as other DLC.
