Making a promise right now. Credo already knows about this, but might as well copy and paste it here so that everyone will be living proof of this.

I, Yoshichan, will play ALL of the games (no exception) that I will get - be it me buying the game, or getting it gifted. And I don't mean "start the game up and then quit", I mean PLAY as in PLAY until I either get bored of it or beat it.


There. Done. I can't edit this out. GG.

I bought Darksiders II at launch full price and was really disappointed. They basically took out most of the things I liked about Darksiders I and put some other pointless loot-collecting stuff in there, instead of Zelda-like goodness.

It also has a god damn awful level in the middle of the game that lasts way too much and its probably the worst part of a game I played all year.

13 bucks tho? I guess, go for it

FTL $2.50 is one of the things I've been holding out for. $5 Torchlight 2 is another one if we get there.

Neither of those prices are happening this sale. Steam sales are pretty predictable. If the "regular" discount during the sale is 25%, the daily deal will be 50% off. If the regular discount is 33-50% off you will get 66-75% off on the dailies. The number of exceptions to this pattern each sale are pretty small.

Also, the days of Steam blowing away the sale prices of the other DD stores is pretty much done. Based on similar sales during the past 6 weeks, Torchlight 2 will probably be a daily/flash deal for $10, and FTL will be a daily/flash deal for $5.

Wait, so if I'm reading the real faq right, I should wait until the last day's daily deal instead of buying the daily deal today?

Lol, I'm not trying to be dense here, but when there are (I'm guessing?) two daily deals -daily daily and end of sale daily- it's a tad confusing when it's not specified which one.

Holy fuck I feel stupid even asking. For the record, last time I bought from a steam sale was three years ago, I have been working on my backlog ever since.

Does Fable III run better on PC? Tried to play it on 360, but the awful framerate and unplayable work minigames killed all joy for me.

"Get bored of it" is one hell of an escape clause.

Nothing for me today. They started a lot earlier this year. Didn't they start this after Christmas last year?

If a game you want is in a daily deal, buy it. If it's not in a daily deal, wait till the last day of sales to purchase it to eliminate any chance of it becoming a daily deal. That's it.

I'm done before I've even started. Humble Bundle will tie me over for next few weeks. Will be keeping on eye on this thread though :)

It's a hybrid FPS/RTS, you have two teams - the aliens with various classes some that can fly, some that can build things, some that can move really quickly, deal lots of damage etc etc... and then you have the marines which plays more like a traditional FPS, except it has a huge focus on team work, and you have 1 commander for each game that takes control of everything, for example they can place turrets, buildings, drop supplies, give orders etc

They are similar in idea, but not necessarily in execution.

The Deus Ex games give you what? Like 4 or 5 'real' augments (along with another half dozen or so that or more like stat boosts rather than new abilities) that change how you can play the game/approach scenarios and the game is balanced around all of them. EYE ups that number to probably around 12-20, but the game loses some focus/balance in the process. Ultimately, how much you can overlook the game's faults will determine how much you get out of it. Personally, I really liked it. And it's got style out the wazoo. And co-op! Imagine playing Deus Ex in co-op. But you can't! Only in EYE ;D

That seems nice, but I also heard it's confusing as fuck, and really hard to get into. I'll wait to play the DE franchise, and if I like it enough I may get EYE someday.

Oh, and I can't imagine how it is to play DE in co-op, as I don't even know how it plays in single player xD

Hmm, I think I only want a good sale on Endless Space. I'm in the mood for some space.

Other than that, I guess I'll spend $25-$30 at most.
