Does it still work with the Valve Complete Pack?
Not that I don't have the money, but I would have appreciated a discount for Puddle, even a small one.

Sort of, had the money to get Sleeping Dogs when it as cheap at GMG but it wouldn't accept my card
Couldn't justify the purchase at a higher cost elsewhere (I am in Japan and the normal price on Steam is $79.99!!!)FlutterPuffs

Miasmata and Primordia. Both were outvoted in their respective Community's Choice polls and haven't appeared anywhere else since, although I have $3 in my PayPal account so I'll put that towards the latter when it eventually reappears at 50% off (spending $2 won't break the bank).
Thanks for posting your impressions- definitely going to wait on it for a good while. I think the extended narration is probably the most egregious offense- it is such an immersion killer. Matched with a sub-par story, and it could feel tiresome.
Aesthetically, it is gorgeous. Shame it couldn't be more!
Far Cry 3.
Completely this~
God damn, wished Ubi would've done some sale for AC III or Far Cry 3! Nothing, nada!
So many dreams, so little consolation!
sure it always happens. Already out of moneys and I missed/wont be able to get Resonance, Fly'n, Giana Sisters, Tony Hawk, Miasmata, Deponia.. etcetc
so far for me its been impossible for it not to happen in every sale so you just cut your losses and try to get what you absolutely know you'll play right away
infinite money would be rad tho. Dangerously rad

Mostly this. Sometimes I do pass on games because I'd rather by them for even cheaper.Have the money, just no time to play

That sucks. Pass me your e-mail, I'll gift you Gianna Sisters.
And that's the last of my giveaways.
We're solving this right now. PM me your email, as I tried to add you on Steam & you've got too many friends!
EDIT: GAF is too awesome! Tony Hawk perhaps?
Ah, it was probably the Winter sale lol. I remember coal or whatever
well shit I posted that without noticing it was a giveaway kinda thing, much appreciated man, wont forget

Far Cry 3.
Sorry man, it's too expensive even to buy for myself
GMG is bound to discount it in a month or so, so just wait.
Ubi push for Uplay - which is also a file downloader - you could get Far Cry 3 for less than 20E in December. Same for Assassin Creed 3.

What will todays GG mistake be? Hitman Absolution for 1 ? Hotline Miami for 2 cents? Assassins Creed Complete Edition for 3?
I would laugh if they make another mistake.

I dreamt about FTL yesterday, no joke
still havent even killed that last boss on Normal
I'm not even going to bother. All that crap from last night and I ended up with cancelled order and no keys.
they really need to fix their broken system

Do it fast and you have no problems. Me on the other side: i have lost my money and didnt got any keys. I hope the support will answer my ticket soon... or i will buy the shit out of the next mistake they make.
You can avoid combat in that you can auto-simulate it (meaning you will always need a superior fleet, and will never capture a ship), but you will be attacked by pirates. As far as the trading side of things goes, I think that PR3 does a decent enough job there, but is considerably more annoying in its reputation system with countries (required for expansion with trade posts) than I remember PR1 and 2 being. Patrician 4 isn't as good trading wise as Port Royale 3, Patrician 3 is better than P4.

Heh no worries man, I wasn't expecting it. I was more having a dig at them for not discounting it. All in good time.
Haha yeah, I won't bother either, though I did get a copy of Borderlands 2 out of it (for now at least), but the hassle and lack of information from their end...
That said, I think they're absolutely right in cancelling the orders, even if the pricing mistake was their fault. Anyone could see it was a pricing mistake, and while I don't know about laws in other countries, here that means a retailer can undo the transaction if it is obvious to any person that it was a pricing mistake. Meaning that if they had sold Borderlands 2 for 60% or 75% off, they would have had to honour that, given how common sales that deep are with other games, but not 97% off lol.

I love Football Manager 2013. Why aren't you guys playing it?
Americans will get a pass, but for the rest of you Europeans/Asians, I'm very disappointed in you lot.

Really late responding to this but the GMG version, I'm guessing is not the Steam Special Edition sold at GMG? Seems that versions has a couple of extras.
Also, in regards to LA Noire, do we know if there is any activation limits with its DRM? Says this in fine print but can't find any more info
It will probably be in my top 10 GOTY, though I haven't put nearly as much time into it as previous games, was busy with other stuff. Still obviously a quality title, Sports Interactive knows how to do a yearly sports game, just gradually improving things with every iteration.

what happened, what did i miss?
ya it is the Steam Special Edition ...i grabbed Dungeons Gold Editon off there the other day. used my $6 credit from Sleeping Dogs to get it for free. haven't tried it yet tho ...so i dunno how good it is.
it remains the biggest mistery why even though I have a huge passion for football and simulation systems, I couldnt get into these games
I mean I played it and enjoyed it, but it never hooked me as it did for so many people
I have a friend who bought a laptop purely to play it between study breaks and such without having to use his main computer. Pretty sure he put like 10 thousand hours on it or something
I'm in that zone when I just feel fed up with FM, the itch is gone for now but I suspect it will come back next year for FM 14.
And I'm still waiting for a good XCOM deal man, still 4 hours to go before the GMG discount.
Where do you guys see the deals prior to them coming up?

I have FM2012 sitting in my Steam library with about 1h played mainly because I bought a new PC recently and can't make the spreadsheets look nicer. Not enough tesselation or bokeh.

Come on Test Drive Unlimited 2 and Dead Space. Gimme that discount!!
Whats more annoying is I have seen these pop up on sale multiple times before... I just had no real need to get them off my wishlist at that point.

Hey, we should do a little Flash/Daily anticipation dance for some Dead Space bundle! Been hoping since Day 1!
GamersGate has had more than its fair share of pricing mistakes over the past week or so, including this Bethesda bundle for ~$28 and the Borderlands 2 4-pack for a little less than $6.

Damn, did most get cancelled or went through?
As far as those two examples are concerned, those who redeemed their keys are safe, but other orders were cancelled and refunded.

These are coming soon games. Games that arent out yet. If you buy them for that price you may not even get the chance to play them when they get out.
I did buy it a while back, but it's a very time intensive game, even in FM Classic mode, and lately I just haven't felt like putting the necessary time into it. If the Steam Sale keeps sucking the way it has though, maybe I'll make some time for it. Magic 2013 has been occupying my attention mostly though.
