You just missed a sale when it was on $5.00 on the official site, at this point your best bet is to cross your fingers that it ends up as a Daily / Flash deal although you can buy it now on the Steam store or official page for 25% off at $7.50

Damn. Its €7.50 and thats a bit too much for me. What are the chances it will go on a flash sale?

 

[F!ReW!Re]

Whats the cheapest option for FTL?

waiting for a daily or a flash deal???

Damn. Its €7.50 and thats a bit too much for me. What are the chances it will go on a flash sale?

Think there's a very high chance that it'll end up as a flash deal, daily seems less likely...

I'd say it pretty much guaranteed.

People should keep in mind that Arkham City has atrocious DRM. Steam, GFWL and SecuROM with limited activations (5 machines with 10 activations each, but you can't cancel them when you uninstall).

Problem? How many computers do you need?

 

[DOA]

so what to vote now?

 

[erila]

Voted for Miasmata.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

My first Steam Purchase...^^
Deus Ex HR for 4.74 Euro. I feel like I stole it. Is that normal?

Good deal. Be proud of yourself.

 

[M.D]

FUCK FUCK FUCK

I knew something would go wrong.

I'm using a Visa card that you can charge one time for up to $250 for my online purchases. I had one and used it all up.

Went to the mail to get a new card with $175, and the girl tells me their system have crashed and they can't do anything. I'll get it on Sunday, I'm just hoping I won't miss out on some good deals.

 

[dk_]

MIASMATA guys!

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

Problem? How many computers do you need?

Got my current setup, one computer.

Upgrade a gpu, second computer.

HDD breaks down and needs change, third computer.

The story goes. It wouldn't be a problem if you could deactivate the previous computers somehow, but you can't, and WB or SecuRoM won't give you an extra key if you run out.

 

[SteveWD40]

What are you guys talking about? Bought it last year on sale. From my steam purchase history:

2 Jan 2011 7,37€ Purchase

Everyday Genius: SquareLogic, Puzzle Quest 2

How the feck did I miss that?

Don't worry. Come the next sale you'll be saying all these deals are rubbish like the rest of us.

 

[Kabouter]

I'm still bummed they never put Darkest of Days on sale any more, I know it's going to be jank and mediocre at best, but I still want it for some reason .

Where were you three hours ago. Damnit. Thanks for the heads up anyway.

Triple layered DRM with some limited activations sprinkled on top. If it was a cake, it'd be great.

[RionaaM]

I Am Alive is really good. It's easily worth the $5.

Worth the 5 bucks you say? Mmm... Nah, though I have it on my wishlist I'll wait for a lower price in a futute sale. This is just the 2nd day, dammit.

 

[Kelas]

No more meta games from steam sales?

Seems like it. Was kinda looking forward to those achievement hunts again.

 

[NaviLink]

People should keep in mind that Arkham City has atrocious DRM. Steam, GFWL and SecuROM with limited activations (5 machines with 10 activations each, but you can't cancel them when you uninstall).

And now I remember why I stopped playing on PC a few years ago. Hopefully this is the only game I buy during the sale that has this.

 

[Shoogoo]

DE:HR, now or should I wait for a lower price?

 

[Dusk Golem]

You'll be happy to know DRM has been taking a turn for the better in recent years. Improvements in markets, Steam, and the growth of the indie scene and digital titles has helped this.

 

[Gintoki]

DE:HR, now or should I wait for a lower price?

It won't go lower.

 

[fabricated backlash]

But I don't want to become a sour old grumpypants like you lol.

 

[Snapshot King]

Do it now, fantastic game, easily worth the full price I paid for it. I hear missing link is good too.

 

[Silex]

Is The Secret of Monkey Island bundle worth it? Are those fun games?

 

[TheBear]

So.. I think I've pretty much bought all the games I need, so this year instead of buying more I might actually play some!
I feel like playing a shooter, and I've narrowed down to these:

Hard Reset
Spec Ops: The Line
Max Payne 3
Binary Domain
Bulletstorm

Where should I start?

 

[Klendathu Club Owner]

Just got Deus Ex 1 in the flash deal and Fate of Atlantis and Home. Aside from maybe one or two amazing flash-deals I'm probably going to get some more adventure games. Got a nice list ready. And they're so cheap anyway it doesn't really matter if they're 50 or 75% off.

Start with Hard Reset as an appetizer. The campaign is only 5 hours long.

All good choices but I would recommend Binary Domain personally.

Buy now. If you have reservations now maybe you don't really want the game.

Spec Ops is by far the best game of that lot, but the weakest in terms of actual shooter mechanics. Bulletstorm has solid over the top mechanics, much like Painkiller did. I didn't really care for what I played of Hard Reset.

 

[TheBear]

Appetizer sounds good. Thanks for the tip!

 

[Firebrand]

How possible is it for Civ V + Add On to go to or below the 9€ it was on amazon.de a few days ago? My brother is very interested in this.

I wouldn't count on it, unless they add a bundle it won't be more than 75% off on both.

There's this bundle at ~15 euros which also includes CivIV Complete and Stronghold Collection: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AMKTR48/?tag=neogaf0e-20

 

[MrTeachwell]

Just don't play it on hard like I did, unless you want it to live up to the first part of it's name.

 

[Cosmic Schwung]

Impossible! A few more insanely cheap games and you'll see everything over a fiver as a rip-off. It's inevitable.

 

[Lord British]

Just don't play it on hard like I did, unless you want it to live up to the first part of it's name.

I respectfully disagree - I didn't find it engaging until I put it on Insane, which forces the player to make use of the environment to triumph. Very difficult but very rewarding. On Normal I found it to be very bland indeed.

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

 

[Tevious]

Steam sales just aren't that exciting anymore. Over the years, I already own everything I'd want and I still haven't played most of them.

 

[Shoogoo]

Buy now. If you have reservations now maybe you don't really want the game.

Nope I want it as much as I am broke (which is a lot)

 

[ChesterCharm]

got a tip somewhere that scribblenauts will be 75% off on 12/24/25 at amazon. i almost bought this on steam just now.

Awesome! But shouldn't Spec Ops: The Line be on that list, too? It's 50% off, currently.

Isn't that already in 2K collection?

That's a normal discount and it will definitely be cheaper later on.
