Well what do you guys suggest I vote for? Sim games are not for me so I know nothing about these.

Vote Tropico, it's a waste for a game that had a daily deal to be put up as a flash sale again.

Sometimes I wonder if the companies bribe Steam for positions in the polls.

Alright, Tropico 4 it is..

It's nice that Capcom is being more active with steam sales but i wish DMC4 and RE5 would be 75% off already. :<

Hoping for RE:ORC Complete Pack for 75% off.

Kinda want Off the Record... also want Anno 2070 but it seems too much even at 60% off (if it wins) with so much DLC missing.

All three games are sim-ish games.

Anno, less so. It's more of an RTS / city-builder / 4x hybrid. But I think some of you will not like the DRM that it comes with.

Tropico is a modern satirical, tropical sim-ish game, with some indulgent power fantasy elements.

Fwiw, I have 120 hours combined in Tropico 3/4 and 179 hours in Anno 2070, so both are good value imho. (SC4 is a little dated for me to get into at this point)

Tough choice time.

I have enough for Hotline Miami and Mark of the Ninja in my Steam wallet, with about 4 cents to spare.

Do I pull the trigger, or wait for a daily on FTL?

I was hoping for 50% off on Mark of the Ninja, but oh well I'll bite.

EDIT: ...Okay it looks like it changed from 25% to 50% for me. Well I guess I got my wish!

This is kinda hilarious. Picked up the Dawn of War Complete pack for II plus all expansions. Since I can't play II until I beat DOW, I loaded up my savegame to see where I had left off.

Turns out I was on the last level of DOWI when I stopped playing the game over a year ago. And from the looks of the Wiki I can pretty safely skip Dark Crusade and Soulstorm, right?

I put way more hours into Dark Crusade than any other part of the DoW1 series. It's a more open-ended, Risk-style campaign, and it does have a storyline -- it's not just botmatch. DC is also more modern than the previous two games.

Wow that Dead Rising pack is real dumb. I mean it's nice that it's $10 for DR2 and DR2:OTR (especially for Capcom) , but who is going to play both when OTR is practically the same game with a model swap.

My goodness. I think you just sold me on Anno. It seemed kinda neat before, but that combo sounds pretty awesome.

I thought I had these sales figured out but I've been thrown a curve. Do I buy mark of The Ninja and Deadlight now or waits for the %75 off later?

Dead Rising 2 looks interesting, but it's locked in my country. Damn GFWL, always causing me trouble when browsing the Steam store. Oh well, with so many other games in my backlog, I won't miss this one too much.

If you really want it now, you can get DMC4 (Steam key) at GMG for a little under $5, using that 30% off code.

How long is Dead Rising 2 and Mark of the Ninja? Or better yet can someone point me to the data base that shows average game lengths? I know there is a site out there but can't remember or find it.

I demand that Valve, AT LEAST, combine Mark of the Ninja, Hotline Miami and Far Cry 3 into one bundle with 75%.


Some of you guys are spoiled.

I agree.

Just wait 4 months and it'll be 75% off.

Play the other 20 games you bought this sale. Or don't, that's what I do! :D

What's the community like now? For some reason I stopped playing shortly after release, might get back into it.
Click to expand...

I don't play it much myself anymore, but the community is basically only new people trying it out, and the core people who never left. Big skill divides, but mature people, it's a good community but very small.

People left because the gunplay and gameplay are so different from other shooters, and because it was so buggy, which it isn't anymore.

Sorry I can't really tell you much more, I only play like 1 round a week.

From my convo with an Amazon rep, looks like the system is combining the f2p credits under everything.

Well, be careful, because I tried to get something with the video credit it said I had, and I did not in fact have any video credit. At least customer service was able to refund me.

Yea, my issue seemed to have something to do with this.
