Can you still not run Hotline Miami in a window?

 

[Candeldandel]

Scribblenauts!! Wow, that's super tempting... now do I want it for 3DS or Steam??

 

[Fou-Lu]

Come on student loan! Arrive in my bank account!

 

[Witchfinder General]

It's a shitty game with both GfWL and Securom no matter what price they sell it for. I wouldn't get it even for free.



No, it isn't. It's much worse then Fable 2, and comes with both GfWL and Securom.

I haven't had issues with GFWL before. What's bad about Securom?

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

If you want to save another dollar, it's the equivalent of 19 USD on the Brazillian store, taking into consideration the paypal cut.

Huehuehuehuehuehuehuehue

Nah I've already got someone lined up. Thanks anyway.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

How is Fable III still have an MSRP of $50? It's like they never want me to buy this game.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Scribblenauts!! Wow, that's super tempting... now do I want it for 3DS or Steam??

3DS is the worst version out of the 3. Doesnt have the object maker, and obviously it doesnt look as good as its wiiU and PC counterparts. And it doenst have the nintendo characters, thats only for the wiiU version.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Scribblenauts!! Wow, that's super tempting... now do I want it for 3DS or Steam??

Steam features the object editor and a many other features not available on 3DS.errrrrrr what SpacePirate Ridley said.

 

[Mavromatis]

Reminder for the new page, here is a list of Hidden Deals.

 

[Speevy]

Come on student loan! Arrive in my bank account!

This is not a good idea.

Please, take it from someone who spent his on a TV. Don't.

 

[DualShadow]

It's 20 on Amazon right now

Sweet thanks, do you know if its Steamworks?

I would check but I'm at work haha

 

[AngmarsKing701]

If people aren't going to bother to read the OP then I'm not going to bother to give them good advice.

 

[drizzle]

Sorry if this has been asked already, but are the Flash Deals considered the best of the sale, even better than normal daily deals? Basically what I am asking is, is there a chance that a Flash Deal can also be a Daily Deal and Visa Versa?

With the exception of one time, when there was a mistake, Flash Deals and Daily Deals will be equally discounted.

One time, Saints Row the Third was 90% off on a Daily Deal, while it was 75% off on a Flash Deal prior to it. However, it was a mistake and it was quickly fixed to 75%. I don't think a flash or a daily were ever posted with a lower discount than before, but I could be wrong.

If a game is on a Flash or Daily Deal and it's a discount you feel comfortable with, I'd buy it.

However, I personally like to use the 75% rule. A game probably won't ever get a bigger discount than 75%, so if it's discounted by that amount, and you want the game, feel free to buy it whenever it's up.

In other words, I wouldn't buy a 33% discounted game on either (Flash or Daily). Not because it's going to show up with a bigger discount later (even though it might, but it's a slim chance), but mostly because it's not discounted enough.

Unless I really want to play it right now.

Huehuehuehuehuehuehuehue

Nah I've already got someone lined up. Thanks anyway.

It's more along the lines of 18,50, but you know.

Whoever laughs like that should be banned beaten to death, btw.

 

[DarkFlow]

Yep, one of my biggest problems with buying packs on steam. I would buy that indie pack instantly if I could gift the rest.

Yeah, guess ill still get it, the dawn of war 2 pack in there's worth the 24 bucks by them selfs.

 

[Enco]

Yes they can swap around. They won't get cheaper though I don't think.

 

[Cade]

Thanks, SuperSonic1305!

 

[Fou-Lu]

This is not a good idea.

Please, take it from someone who spent his on a TV. Don't.

I've already decided if it gets in to just add $100 to my steam wallet and stop there, haha.

 

[dark_chris]

The second part of the Great Wallet Genocide. oi. lol.

 

[Mavromatis]

Well, Steam warned us buy putting "You need a budget" on the front page yesterday.

 

[ElfArmy177]

Anyone doing a 4-pack for Natural Selection?

 

[Snuggles]

Looks like no one has commented on War of the Roses yet. Some impressions would be neat. I've already played a ton of Chivalry, but I have enough room in my heart for two medieval combat games. Looks like Roses may not match Chiv's awesome combat, but it has a lot more in the way of customization and variety. I'm also curious about technical performance and stability and all dat.

Fuck, I just want to buy something .

 

[Panda Rin]

It's like a final on self control, and I'm failing.

 

[Khaz]

Yay Mirror's Edge is on sale!

You already own Mirror's Edge™

Aw

 

[Petrie]

Right well I'm sure they deserve to waste their money due to a dick posting fake advice, continue.

Considering its all in the OP, they kinda do.

 

[mediapulp_wes]

Don't think it's been mentioned yet, but Thomas Was Alone is now 50% off in the sale. It's a great Indie game.

[Angel Abaddon]

Scribblenauts!! Wow, that's super tempting... now do I want it for 3DS or Steam??

Steam version has Workshop support.

 

[Mavromatis]

This one might be still alive.

 

[Derrick01]

Sweet thanks, do you know if its Steamworks?

I would check but I'm at work haha

Yeah Hitman is steamworks. For future reference all Eidos/Square Enix PC games are steamworks.

 

[Atrophis]

Yay, its the most wonderful time of the year

Got one game ticked off my shopping list already, Arkham City GOTY. Want Wargame but the price is still a bit too high.

Waiting on:

Hotline Miami
Spec ops
The Walking Dead
FTL
Shogun 2
Ass Creed Brotherhood and Revelations
Witcher 2
Dead Space 2

 

[Rickenslacker]

I already own Jagged Alliance 2 Gold but the store page doesn't acknowledge that. What does it meeean?!

 

[DualShadow]

Yeah Hitman is steamworks. For future reference all Eidos/Square Enix PC games are steamworks.

Cheers thanks man.

 

[Tempy]

Scribblenauts!! Wow, that's super tempting... now do I want it for 3DS or Steam??

While I was tempted to get it for the WiiU, the PC version has Steam Workshop!

 

[shintoki]

This one might be still alive.

Looking to get in the group for the standard one, but thanks.

 

[Wickerbasket]

Is there any way to get around Scribblenauts not being released in the UK till Feb?

 

[Amish]

hitman absolution was released exactly one month ago, and now its at 50%.. wow was a waste that was.. i guess what they say about just waiting for the games to go on sale is true.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Whoever laughs like that should be banned beaten to death, btw.

Hey now, don't be racist against Brazilians!

 

[Atrophis]

Buying full price on Steam is never justified for me. A sale is always only a few months wait.

 

[Bulzeeb]

I just noticed the eXceed pack for $5 that is 50% off, is it worth it or should I wait?

[Nemo]

Limbo must be on some sort of record for going on sale each time

 

[Nabs]

Which PoP game should I grab? I already have TSoT. Is 08 the one people like?

 

[Scavenger]

Is there any way to get around Scribblenauts not being released in the UK till Feb?

Not anymore. Steam just did a dickmove. I bought Scribblenauts Unlimited Steam key a few weeks ago from Amazon because I couldn't wait for the European release and now that the European pre-order is up Steam won't let me play the game. Play button has been changed into a friggin pre-load button. :-(

 

[Dice]

It's the uniquely pretty one. I haven't played 2008, but I enjoyed Forgotten Sands.

 

[intheinbetween]

hey guys, anyone out there from the US could help me out getting some games?

 

[Stop It]

And here was me thinking that I was screwed because I went for the UK version. That seriously sucks. I hope the explanation as to why we have to wait so long for this game is a good one, it is finished after all.

 

[KingKong]

man, it really bums me out that the Flash sales are so slow

remember when it was like every 4 hours?

 

[Candeldandel]

3DS is the worst version out of the 3. Doesnt have the object maker, and obviously it doesnt look as good as its wiiU and PC counterparts. And it doenst have the nintendo characters, thats only for the wiiU version.

Oh, good to know! Thanks a ton I'm always up for a better version that's on sale!

 

[derExperte]

And that means a buy!

Hotline Miami crashed again on lvl10. Two times. Then I got through the level. So it could be that it's more stable after the patch while still not perfect.

 

[legacyzero]

Dont imagine I'll be buying a lot this year, mainly because I FUCKING OWN EVERYTHING ALREADY.

I think I'm going to be looking at a lot of emergent or interesting indie games? I just finished SCRATCHES, and I fucking LOVED IT.

 

[Echoplx]

Which PoP game should I grab? I already have TSoT. Is 08 the one people like?

08 is pretty but easy and repetitive, the forgotten sands is a return to the traditional style, so while it doesn't bring anything new it's the only true modern PoP imo

 

[Salsa]

steam sales be whack

im on the winning team
