Steam had a good run

 

[SourCinnamon]

I think I won't buy any game this sale :/ Maybe we need another cyphertext game like the one we had this summer. That would be so much fun.

 

[confuziz]

Hmm haven't played Psychonauts yet..worth it?

 

[derExperte]

The steam one is only the second game. In the amazon bundle you have the two games, the season pass and every other dlc.

No, D1 is in it and 13,59€ is very good for Europeans that don't know of Amazon.com.

 

[Semblance]

Saving money feels pretty good.

 

[didamangi]

Interested in FEAR series but it seems they removed the bundle pack. Lame.

edit: It's back but the prices aren't fixed yet.

 

[Salsa]

I had mentioned this in the dedicated Steam thread, so I'll paraphrase it here:

It's fundamentally backwards. You're letting the price of something dictate your interest in the product. The product should be interesting to you and you should then determine if the price is right.

It's the quickest, most sure-fire way to have a backlog of games you could have bought for cheaper by the time you eventually get around to playing them.

But "is it worth it" isn't the same as "what does everyone think of". Is it worth it is a subjective idea man. What something is worth to one person is different than another.

If I had 25 million dollars, spending a grand on a bottle of wine would be worth it to me. If I had 25 bucks, not so much.

Anyways, I need a vacation.

Edit: And what morningbus said

well I interpret it as your second question there. I just take it as "what does everyone think of", or rather that's what I mean when I ask it personally. Didnt really thought about it in the way morningbus said. And yeah if you're asking it that way then stop

Ok, question: I have £50 in my steam wallet, will I be charged in £ or € or will steam do its own conversion if I buy something while in euroland?

I belive you won't be able to buy games at all via your Steam wallet if the currencies vary from the store.
The suggestion I hear is using the URL of your country, in your case "http://store.steampowered.com/?cc=uk".

Though it would be best to contact Steam support first to avoid any issues, might take a bit to get a reply though, especially during sales.

 

[catapult37]

Hmm haven't played Psychonauts yet..worth it?

YES

 

[Necrovex]

Saving money feels pretty good.

Especially when I am saving it for Amazon!

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Hmm haven't played Psychonauts yet..worth it?

Unless you despise platformers, it kind of has to be worth at it 2.50, doesn't it?

 

[Typographenia]

BUY PSYCHONAUTS IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED IT

 

[demosthenes]

Get SimCity 4 if you haven't already guys.

I'm in for $5.

 

[GAMERG0D]

Dishonored deal looking really good.

 

[Sullichin]

the witcher?

Bought TW2 a few sales ago, it looks amazing that's for sure. But I'm only a couple hours in and it hasn't grabbed me yet. I should really give it another shot because everyone seems to love it. And I keep forgetting I have it.

 

[graywolf323]

did they ever fix the problems with Future Soldier on PC?

I love the Ghost Recon games (even the Advanced Warfighter ones)

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Darksiders 1 for $5,can't go wrong right?

Hold it.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00APOVDDY/?tag=neogaf0e-20
You get Darksider and Darksider 2 with all 11 dlc and the season pass. Last day for this bundle too.

 

[Kifimbo]

Are the great Steam sales of year's past over??? seriously, these sales are what make PC gaming prices worth it...considering that we can't trade the games in afterwards like other platforms.

wasn't Dishonored $20 somewhere over Thanksgiving?

My guess is they found where the sweet spot to maximize their revenues. Also, there are enough new Steam members to just repeat the 75% sales for the 10th time without going lower.

 

[zkylon]

Yeah I really wish they had done an achievement hunt so at least there would be something entertaining for sales veterans.

Deal aren't really bad, Darksiders 2 is criminally cheap...

 

[giant_frying_pan]

So noone knows?

Take something through to checkout and it might tell you.

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

Nothing today for me too.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Man... Steam Sales are a bit underwhelming for veterans like me, I have almost everything I want =(

I'm going to be spacing out all of these Steam sales and try not to buy too much. This way, I don't end up getting disappointed because I "freakin' have everything that's on sale already".

 

[J-Tier]

Is SimCity4 the one with shitty DRM? Sorry, not in the loop w/ the more recent simulation titles.

 

[drizzle]

I already have Darksiders 1 and Darksiders 2.

I only need the Season Pass and Death Rides, as everything else is shitty item DLC and I already have Argul's Tomb.

I'll buy the season pass and Death Rides. First Steam purchase this sale!

 

[scorpscarx]

LOL right as I was about to push buy on DMC4 on GMG, OUT OF STOCK.

RAGEEEEEEEEEE lol

Not really wallet saved.

 

[Salsa]

also no yesterday-deals-still-available thing huh?

 

[chiablo]

How is Sim City 4? I'll likely pass on the new one, but I'm kinda in the mood for some Sim City.

It doesn't have native widescreen support. See here for information on how to make it work: http://www.widescreengaming.net/wiki/SimCity_4

 

[Necrovex]

also no yesterday-deals-still-available thing huh?

What happened to the greatness of Valve?!

 

[LuuKyK]

also no yesterday-deals-still-available thing huh?

They are still available for me...

 

[graywolf323]

lol at them doing Darksiders Franchise for $17, when Amazon have it for $13.

shows as $13 on Steam to me same as Amazon

 

[drizzle]

Is SimCity4 the one with shitty DRM? Sorry, not in the loop w/ the more recent simulation titles.

SimCity 4's shitty DRM equivalent is that it doesn't run properly on modern machines at all - the bigger your city get, slower it goes. And it's very crashy.

It's still so good that I don't care.

 

[jarosh]

So, uh, 16.99 for Darksiders 2 or 13.59 for the Franchise Pack? lol?

 

[Buttonbasher]

also no yesterday-deals-still-available thing huh?

They show up in the mobile app, but yeah I don't see them on the client.

 

[TimmiT]

Are the great Steam sales of year's past over??? seriously, these sales are what make PC gaming prices worth it...considering that we can't trade the games in afterwards like other platforms.

I think that it's not that the deals aren't good, it's that we already got most of the games we wanted from previous sales.

 

[RionaaM]

All these "Is X game worth it" and "do you think X game will be on a flash deal" make me want to go punt kittens.

STOP IT.

Sorry.


Is WarZ worth 80 euros?

 

[1-D_FTW]

I feel silly for adding another 50 bucks to my Steam wallet. Spent 11 dollars on the first day, but the remaining 62 dollars is likely to last me till the 2013 Holiday sale at this rate.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

also no yesterday-deals-still-available thing huh?

The counter said 48 hours though... maybe they just aren't displayed on the front page anymore?

edit: wait yes they are. right under the row of new deals.

 

[nexen]

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier Long Title for $15 has me interested.
I likem me some military shooters that aren't COD.

Hmm.

 

[Nirolak]

So, uh, 16.99 for Darksiders 2 or 13.59 for the Franchise Pack? lol?

Clearly everything else has negative value.

 

[Martian]

They show up in the mobile app, but yeah I don't see them on the client.

They're still there.


Under the big-ass banner from the new daily deals, it says I have another 24 hrs to buy them

 

[Salsa]

They are still available for me...

I bet they are and probably for as long but they're not promoting them

They're still there.


Under the big-ass banner from the new daily deals, it says I have another 24 hrs to buy them

oh DERP

 

[Isaccard]

Steam has the same Darksiders deal and doesn't charge any tax. Steam wins that sale.

 

[kennah]

Scroll down, they're under the big picture. Easy to miss.

 

[gabbo]

Still nothing of interest has poppd up, and I doubt Garshasp's expansion (already at $1.29) will be a daily deal.
*About to break the first rule of Steam Sales*

 

[catapult37]

PM me if interested. I'll host.

 

[Syphon Filter]

What's the deal with F.E.A.R 1? Does it have drm? the drm list says multiplayer does yet it doesn't have online.

 

[Row]

Sim City 4 and Psychonauts as daily deals when you only have 6 spots? What the hell is Valve doing?

more like 84 slots

jeeze people, it's a 2 week sale

 

[LuuKyK]

I bet they are and probably for as long but they're not promoting them

But they are just under the big banner. And the new ones are above...

Equally promoting if you ask me.

 

[PrematureQuiche]

I got Hawx 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction today.

 

[kharma45]

They are still available for me...

And me.
