Not a great game but fun if you like traversal and survival. It has some interesting ideas. $5 is probably about the right price. Lasts about 5 hours.

No, they haven't. It was a flash deal once, and a community vote once where it lost by 1%, so it's only been on sale on Steam once. As for GMG, that's a different story, I referring to Steam in particular
I'm not with all the sale bashing in the thread because I got more than 15 games during it, but you have a very valid point there. Almost only well known titles in dailies and flash deals, while indie games have been confined to their own section with the same % off throughout the days. The fun in Steam sales has always been finding out about obscure, ridiculously cheap games and impulse buying/regretting (lol).
Yeah - them not highlighting this post THQ Humble Bundle is just lost revenue.

How many new (lol) sets of dailies are left? 2 right?
I hope the last day will be an official "best of" recap, just for the laughs. 5th time BL2 anyone?

Pretty easy to say no when you had most of your Wishlist gifted to you
Definitely worth it. I actually prefer the original Thief just for the atmosphere, but the general consensus seems to be that Thief the Metal Age is the best. I would even recommend fan missions for the second game, but then I don't really know how well you would enjoy the main campaign. Some of those fan made missions even surpass the originals.
I'm still holding on 2.51 and a bit more to get all the DLC. Good thing that nothing has been really tempting so far.

I must be thinking of the community choice it lost. My bad.

I know whow you feel, man. Kinda afraid of a Fallout: New Vegas scenario where the game is constantly on sale until I finally have the time.

So is I Am Alive a good as a survival horror game, or do most people play it for the story or whatever?
Big Bo is disappoint.
EDIT: Also, don't Image Search for "Big Bo" with safesearch off...

Looks like I won't be getting Fallout New Vegas this sale
I wonder if these sales are like: Hey, it seems you had not picked up a game that is on your wishlist, here's another chance. Maybe you can buy it now since it's the 1000th time we put it on sale!

GAF is always awesome, I'll be happy if most of the GAFfers got at least one game they wanted/was in their wishlist.

The story isn't very good, goes nowhere and the ending doesn't resolve anything. The main draw is indeed the survival aspect, you really have to conserve resources. But I wouldn't call it horror.

if we learned anything from this sale...it should be to not put money exclusively in the steam wallet
leaves you limited to pick up games from gmg,amazon,gg,otherbetterdeals

Hmmm... May be worth a shot.
Also, why is the PC version a full 10 points lower on metacritic? Is it a shitty port or were reviewers just being butts?

It is a glitch, should be 80%
Might want to refresh. Showing $6 for me in the US.

Maybe this is a problem stemming from Steam having such frequent sales.
I mean, how many of the big ones are there now?

Greenmangaming is the same, can't buy those from here.
Was XCOM: Enemy Unknown: Slingshot Pack on sale? Or is this a silly question because it's DLC and/or is very recent?
Thanks in advance for answering.

sad you will be. budget was reached this time around. will have wait until summer seal
So far it's only been a flash, and it really seems like one that'd have a proper daily! I'd forgotten all about the DLC at the time, too, so I'm almost hoping it doesn't show back up
edit: damn, apologies - completely missed a page
Big Bo is disappoint.

I didn't even have to put the safesearch off 0_0
