Wasn't it up for a community vote?
If so I expect at the very least for Primordia to show up as a flash sale for the same percentage as the community vote. Perhaps even a daily.

I loved that game. Good times, put in days worth of time in hours playing that.
DOTA games are highly competitive with a low player count. So a single team members deficiencies in aptitude are magnified both in game and in the perception of other players. Other competitive games such as CS/NS, at least in pub matches, have higher player counts so a single deficient performance can be absorbed in the aggregate and is usually not so pronounced in the conscious of other players. This is compounded by the fact that DOTA style matches run past 30 minutes, unlike most multiplayer matches.

kinda surprised we're going to end up needing a second thread given how underwhelming the sale has been this year
GMG, amazon and gamergate have helped I'm sure.
It's the non-Steam Steam sales that are giving this thread its steam. Coal reality, yo. They win even when they don't win
Plus all the complaints about how underwhelming the sale has been!

Buy Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit.
Best driving game this generation (or at least in the same ball park as the likes of PGR4, Driver: San Francisco or Burnout Paradise).

Yup. My haul of 19 games agrees.

Hidden deal list?
Dammit, you made me count. I've bought 41 games so far.
Edit: Unlike 3chopl0x, I've mostly been buying older or indie games.
Edit 2: Thanks, Stage On. More games to buy!
You've cleared out most of older stuff and are picking up mostly new games?

Thinking about picking up the Mount and Blade franchise. I've never played it before, but a.) is it worth it and b.) are any particular games in the series really stand out ones? Or are they all good?

As I understand it, Warband makes the original redundant and Fire & Sword isn't good.

;DNo, they're separate.

Aww, crap. I'm all out of money and just missed the last game I wanted to buy, Witcher 2.
it's definitely a sequel, but both stories are mostly self-contained
It's not a prequel but the first title is pretty self contained so you wouldn't really be missing out on anything that wont be explained in 2.

how is that tony hawk game?
Don't put words in my mouth. I find the witcher to be vastly superior to the sequel but I'm not going to tell someone to play it of they don't want to.
Exercising self control with these sales is hard. The urge to splurge on stuff just because they are on sale even if you don't know when or even if you'll play it is pretty strong.
I miss past years when they had indie bundles with 5 games for $5 bucks and more choices per day.
The only improvement about this sale is it's easy to sleep and work with out missing anything since the timer on stuff is longer.

Remember: the best deal is simply not spending any money at all. (No, I don't mean pirating it.)
If the game wasn't on your radar before the sale started, then it's probably best to ignore it for the time being. If other people hype it up and get you interested, then keep it in mind for the next sale or a daily deal. Even if you're suddenly interested, it probably won't take priority over the games you already had in mind in terms of when you actually get around to playing it (haha).
If you've played through a chunk of it and know geralts backstory and friends you wont be missing anything transitioning to 2. The beginning of tw2 will cartch you up on what was important in the first. Youll miss out on a pretty amazing ending though imo
Okay, so apart from the fact that I'd just be adding more stuff to my backlog, is there any reason not to buy Mark of the Ninja now and through Steam? It's not cheaper anywhere else or isn't on the verge of being cheaper anywhere else that anybody knows of, right? Like, some GMG deal or "oh actually Tony said it was going to be added to the Editor's Choice list so you can use your $5 credit on 1/1" or something.
It's a great stealth game, the pc version is not sold anywhere else, it's published by microsoft so it might not be available in a bundle (maybe).
What if it's stuff you've looked at in the past but passed on due to limited money at the time or just low bandwidth?
It's scary how quickly it can add up.
Awesome, thanks a lot. Accepted it and will be downloading tomorrow morning.
The doom 3 graphics mod by monoxead isn't available anymore
I think the HD mod here uses monoxead's textures, though I'm not sure how they're used (whether it's a selection or the whole pack is included)
Thanks! With the way all the other retailers have been undercutting Steam, I just had to make sure.

Gotcha, how long does each game take to finish?

I would classify those as "games you had in mind"
I was referring to games that you either aren't familiar with or had zero interest in prior to visiting this thread.
