Do you agree that it won't get lower during this sale?

I know it won't go lower, I would be surprised if it did. This is just wishful thinking.

 

[shackdaddy836]

Civ V. Never played any of these types of games before.

Worth throwing $7.49 to jump in?

Go for it. It's probably one of the best TBS game to jump into if you're just starting out.

Goat Simulator: Where the bugs are features

 

[Deitus]

If you let typo's and grammer get the best of you, your going too have a miserable time on the internet.

Trying to figure out if this was on purpose.

Edit: Never mind, this is clearly intentional.

 

[SugarDave]

Sod it. Bought RE4.

 

[Blue-kun]

Just to confirm something here, as it'll be the first time I do this. To gift something through Steam I send it to my mail, get the url and send it on the PM to ModBot, right? I see that's what's on the guide, but since the first part mentions an actual key instead of the URL, I'm just trying to confirm it.

 

[Dusk Golem]

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.

welcome to the last 4 or 5 sales, this has been happening for years now, its not new

I actually would argue this sale has been much better than last years sale. There's been far less repeats too, I remember last year like almost every game sale popping up three times. There's repeats here, but I would also say more overall variety in the sales and the repeats are at least toned down.

I hate community voting, however. The community voters literally are dumb or something like that as they will almost always pick the worse of the two choices 90% of the time, always going for 'big name' games even if they've already been on sale twice.

 

[Mohasus]

Bought RE6 Complete Pack, for some reason it is cheaper than vanilla RE6.

Yes, remove everything after the gift ID if you don't want to share your mail.

Should I of made it more obvious?

 

[tmarques]

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.

It's weird because for games like Double Dragon they already have the go-ahead from the publisher, so why not put it up after it lost the community vote?

And then you have a lot of games with great discounts that most people will not know about because they are never featured on the front page. It makes no sense.

 

[Madouu]

Oh well, I was going to get Steamworld Dig but then I realized it was probably not the kind of game for me, it's looking like I'm not getting anything today either. A shame about Ikaruga.

 

[Shadownet]

How big is your backlog? And do you actually want to play the game?

30 games and counting. 25 of which i bought within the last 5 days lol Yes but I'm not dying to play it. I just dont wanna miss out on the good sale.

 

[Alo81]

typo's your too

Yes, basically.

 

[tylerf]

I knew it was impossible but still was kind of hoping for a surprise Wealth of Nations discount.

 

[MulderWasTaken]

Thanks for Dracula: Love Kills, anon!

 

[Lain]

Shovel Knight 14.99€

even you indie devs, with the $=€ bullshit? fuck yourselves

I'll maybe grab it next month from the humble widget if it's still available. The $=€ really annoys me though.

yup... to many people going... oh I don't care I won't buy either... guess i will vote for the bundle with the AAA title as it's obviously better because I know it...

ikaruga needs to be on the next flash sale @_@

 

[Deitus]

Should I of made it more obvious?

No, it was well played on your part. I just clearly don't pay enough attention.

 

[Halo 2]

I think Shovel Knight will be a winter sale game for me.

...but it looks so awesome O_O

 

[Red Comet]

Shame that other Total War games aren't getting a discount with Rome 2. I would have bought Empire.

 

[Soi-Fong]

Still no Tropico 5... Damn..

 

[Winnie the Pimp]

yo i just got back, ready to buy Ikaruga on flash sale and..... NOTHING

wtf happened guys??

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Why does Civ5 Gold not exist anymore?

Wait for next sale then. My backlog is 100 deep

[AstuteClass]

While we're on the subject of Resident Evil, is there a reason RE1-3 aren't on Steam? All three came out for Windows it seems. Seems weird that Capcom wouldn't jump at the chance to sell a truckload of them on Steam.

 

[DexterPepper]

yo i just got back, ready to buy Ikaruga on flash sale and..... NOTHING

wtf happened guys??

Blockland happened

 

[Valkyri von Thanatos]

I know it won't go lower, I would be surprised if it did. This is just wishful thinking.

Not really, I'm cool with buying it at this price. Just wanted to gauge people's opinions that a lower price for RE stuff won't show up after today.

 

[harrypmgaga]

So I bought System Shock 2.

I have no intention of playing System Shock 2.

What have I done?

 

[super-famicom]

Steam Community once again does not know how to vote. You missed CosmicQueso's Ikaruga giveaway, though.

 

[Turfster]

They're antique and would require actual effort to get working again.

I have no intention of playing System Shock 2.

Boo this man.

 

[Dambrosi]

Steamworld Dig is only a "metroidvania" in the sense that you gain new abilities as the game goes on. It's not really like there's a lot to explore, unless you consider going down for 5 hours interesting.

I'm not sure why the game gets all the praise it does -- maybe because even though it's gameplay might be repetitive, it's somehow compelling.

That's funny, because you could say all those same things about Spelunky

Spoiler

if you just looked at the surface and didn't understand the underlying game structure that makes it special

.

Uh... how do you compare Full Bore with Spelunky?
Ok, they're both 2D and set in an underground setting, but... that's it, really!

I got bored by Full Bore (ffs, that name, really ) because I didn't feel engaged by its puzzles. I don't mean they were too easy for me, but just that I didn't have fun solving them. (ie. I had loads of fun playing The Swapper)

Okay, fair enough, you like what you like, and vice versa. I got the game for a buck long ago, so it's not like I'm somehow offended by your opinion.

The concept of being offended by someone's opinion on a video game...boggles the mind.

 

[kswiston]

yup... to many people going... oh I don't care I won't buy either... guess i will vote for the bundle with the AAA title as it's obviously better because I know it...

ikaruga needs to be on the next flash sale @_@

The problem with voting to the pack that contains Dark Souls or Farcry 3, or Assassins Creed Black Flag is that all of those games are highly likely to make the Steam Encore. Not to mention most were already on sale for 48 hours at that price.

GIVEAWAY

just bumping this one up - it's still going and there are 14 games left ... grab 'em while you can!! and enjoy!!

 

[Paertan]

Home from kickboxing to buy Ikaruga!
...wat?!
But
WHY!!!!

 

[Zero-Crescent]

Ikaruga

Indeed.

 

[Caerith]

30 games and counting. 25 of which i bought within the last 5 days lol Yes but I'm not dying to play it. I just dont wanna miss out on the good sale.

Dishonored GOTY isn't a great deal. Unless you're going to play it before December, wait for the winter sale and hope for -75%.

Why does Civ5 Gold not exist anymore?

It got supplanted by Civ V Complete, much like Gold supplanted GOTY. If history's any indication, they'll eventually add an "Upgrade to Civ V Complete" option.

 

[liezryou]

Thanks rhaknar for the driveby steamworld dig gift. Let's see how this game actually is.

EDIT: Wow a 7 metacritic user score? rofl better lower my expectations.

 

[jblank83]

I have no intention of playing System Shock 2.

You should. It makes Bioshock look like trash.

 

[solarus]

Is there anyway to upgrade from civ 5 to the complete edition or will I just have to buy the complete edition to get all of the dlc at a reasonable cost. Buying the dlc individually costs more than the complete edition itself.
