I'm looking for hidden sales..Toki Tori and Bad Rats are 90 % off hehe. ;D

"Ignite" is 90 % off too. I have no clue what game that is though.

 

[Suite Pee]

Whoa, Botanicula is randomly 75 percent off (2.49)

Man, my wallet doesn't have enough funds for this next week

 

[feel]

Guess no badge for me this year. Darned shitty cellphone.

You only need 4 out of the 6 achievements for the badge.

 

[Laurentius]

My recommendation for today's daily deals.

 

[Stumpokapow]

barely any action for the dudes are you kidding me valve gmafb

 

[Deputy Dangle]

We in there!

 

[Oblivionmancer]

Hoping for a deep cut on Torchlight 2. I'll be watching!

 

[Joe Molotov]

No achievement hunt, just a badge. Boring. :zzz

 

[Spierek]

Planning to spend an entire $0 this time, wish me luck. I might succumb to discounted Ys Origin or some other games, but it seems highly unlikely. In the meantime, I'll be checking out my unplayed Steam games from past sales (played Auditorium today, it was nice).

 

[inky]

Now I have no incentive to play my games =/

Thanks Gary, it's all your fault.

 

[nexen]

Kingdoms of Amalur will never go down in price on Steam.

 

[PedroPanache]

How well does the Sands of Time trilogy run on PC's? Are there tweaks/mods to run them in 1080p in widescreen, and do they run better than the lazy HD collection on the PS3? I'm tempted, as I adored the SoT trilogy on the xbox, and would love to revisit it, but only if it plays well on a PC (and there's adequate controller support).

My friend sent me this regarding the sale:

If it's like the previous Steam sales, then yes - there are two levels of "sales".

You have the "winter sale" where something is at a normal sale price of, say, 50% off or so.

Then you have a "flash sale" or "daily deal" sale where the same game can reach an even lower price, such as 75% off.

That's why if you have a game in mind, you should keep an eye on it and wait for it to go on a flash sale or daily deal before you pick it up.

Thanks.

 

[The_Monk]

Added 10 games to wishlist.

PLIM. *Checks*

Removed 9 games

 

[Shoogoo]

Might grab Batman, what you guys think? It won't go any lower, right?

 

[TimmiT]

Sonic Adventure 2 is 50% off. It's not going to get any lower right? The game came out like a month ago...

It looks like every Sonic game will be part of a daily deal bundle, including Sonic Adventure 2: http://cdr.thebronasium.com/sub/apps/18747

So I'd wait.

 

[Empty Space]

Time for me to ruin your christmas. No meta game, more lame ass badges, weak sales that don't match Amazon, and less daily deals in place of more short term flash stuff.

The steam sale magic is gone.

I normally don't agree with your extremely pessimistic attitude, but in this case I completely agree. Nothing has an especially interesting price cut and there's no metagame. I've seen enough of these sale at this point that I know by roughly how much the dailies are going to be based on their current discounts and probably nothing short of an error is going to beat the other sites.

I really wanted to pick up Scribblenauts, but that game is going to be little more then a toy I play with for a few hours and then put away forever. Maybe next time 5th cell.

 

[Kabouter]

I wonder what the reason is Valve stopped doing the whole meta-game thing during sales. Too many people exploiting it with dupe accounts and the like?

 

[Tattooth]

who sings the song in the title?

or rather who made it popular in the 90s

U.S Pipe.

 

[RionaaM]

Can someone please post the Flash and Daily sales in text form?

 

[atomico]

Red Faction: Guerilla seems to have been pulled from Steam?!?

still shows up for me:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/20500/

Edit: Nevermind, you're right. Store page is up, but can't buy it. And it's not in the THQ bundle

What's the "Checking it twice" achievement about, anyway? I already earned it, but dunno why

 

[Mr. Luchador]

So... Amazon are now the leaders in Digital Distribution Sales? D:

 

[Jzero]

Well at least that achievement gives me a chance to receive something as a gift

 

[JustinBB7]

Wow so many people bitching..

Oh well, nothing for me this day, but still a long 2 weeks + 2 days to go!

 

[dark_inferno]

Borderlands 2 Season Pass still 30€. Bullshit

May buy Natural Selection 2. How cheap would it be with a 4-pack?

 

[Tizoc]

Not gonna happen.

Whatevs, it'll be among my last purchases this sale, for now I'll look out for daily deals.

 

[dave is ok]

Presumably, though they just put in Steam Trading restrictions which would have curbed that type of abuse for this sale.

 

[Mavromatis]

Fifteen minutes already and haven't got a single item on my cart. Miracle.

 

[eneko]

Yes! NS2!

 

[baconcow]

So Batman Arkham City is on 75% NOW and people KNOW they are to vote on whether or not to have it on 66% NEXT. Makes sense to me...

 

[Rollo Lawson]

Looks like I may finally see what the Hitman games are all about...

 

[jediyoshi]

still shows up for me:


http://store.steampowered.com/app/20500/

It doesn't have its own buy button.

 

[Yoshichan]

Wow, it's that time again huh ?!

I missed you guys!

 

[Salsa]

U.S Pipe.

I was thinking Seal but man you're riiiiiight

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Is there a reason I can not add Bad Rats to my wishlist?

 

[zkylon]

Yeah no achievement hunt sucks :/

Depending how much you want it, you could always try to emulate Android on a VM

Not enough

4 of 6 man.

Only need 4/6 to get the badge.

Oh, cool, love you again shitty cellphone.

 

[Mileena]

My first Steam sale ever is this shit? Fuck you too Gabe.

 

[AlexBasch]

Hopefully Monkey Island wins, have held on buying it for far too long.

 

[Wario64]

I don't see Batman in the vote. Limbo, Monkey Island, Braid.

 

[MMBosstones86]

i was going to ask if the recent (better) deals on other sites (amazon, gmg, gog, etc.) were going to force Valves hand to have lower deals as well....

....day 1 is proving that that is clearly not the case.

Batman AC GOTY was cheaper on GMG last week
Hitman was cheaper on Amazon last week as well
etc.

bummer

As mentioned, can't buy it. This was the one THQ game I was looking forward to buying (sold the 360 version a long time ago but recently have wanted to go back to it)

 

[Winnie the Pimp]

Interface did fine at first, now it's down tho for me

 

[Toki767]

So Batman Arkham City is on 75% NOW and people KNOW they are to vote on whether or not to have it on 66% NEXT. Makes sense to me...

I believe that last vote you saw was the last voting of the summer sale.

 

[inky]

Yep. Abusing alt accounts made for TF2 trading with humble bundle keys and the like to get a shitload of coupons and free games.

Now that I think of it, I got mostly worthless stuff out of the achievements and coal pieces, so whatever.

 

[RionaaM]

mh people saying they cant see the images, where should I rehost? imgur?

Picpar, please. Or Photobucket. Every other image host is blocked here :/

 

[BoosterDuck]

My body is never ready for the wallet sucking

 

[Felix Lighter]

I only bought 2 games (ignoring gifts) last sale. I'm ready to stock up this time, but nothing for me right out the game.

 

[sangreal]

bummer

hitman is still cheaper on amazon

 

[Mavromatis]

Can someone explain this part to me?

Still seeing this one on the odd refresh. Any conspiracy theories yet?

 

[Paertan]

Ok I am looking on ways to receive money on Paypal now for a 4-pack of Natural Selection 2 but if someone with experience can start one that would be great. We are at least two right now. So we need two more.
