Yeah, I bought for Cave Story+ and Lone Survivor.

Same. Warzone is pretty awesome on my tablet, don't know about the PC version. Second copy of The Baconing that I'll never install.

Dark Messiah of Might & Magic - 75% off ($2.50)
Might & Magic Clash of Heroes - 75% off ($3.75)
Hard Reset Extended Edition - 75% off ($3.75)
Eschalon: Books 1 & II - 75% off ($3.75 & $2.50)
Commandos Collection - 75% off ($3.75)
Nation Red - 75% off ($2.50)
Call of Juarez - 75% off ($2.50)
Syberia 1 & 2 - 75% off ($2.50 each)

These might be worth a look. I don't see them going cheaper.

Clash of Heroes is good fun, certainly worth a look at that price.

I've been getting this error for a while when trying to use my steam wallet to pay:

I"M TRYING TO GIVE YOU MY MONEY, WHY IS THAT SO HARD

I had that happen to me right after I added some money to my wallet, but after waiting about 30 minutes, then it worked.

 

[Huevos de Oro]

GalCiv might go cheaper.

*crosses fingers*

 

[Absoludacrous]

It seems like a lot of people in here are forgetting the cardinal rule. Wait for the Daily/Flash deals.

If the game is already 75% off, and something small like Syberia, it's not even going to show up as a daily deal. So any of these 75% off games that are like $1-$2 are fair game this early in the sale.

I'm waiting patiently for Skyrim, will Lord Gaben give me what I want???

 

[toddhunter]

The Warlock DLC and maybe the SR3 DLC. I'm playing Warlock at the moment and see no benefit to the DLC. Save yourself almost 2 bucks and buy a coke.

Just cut the Warlock DLC. It is the type of game that if you really spend the time on it and get into it, buying the DLC later will be no pain at all.

 

[Alienups]

Fucks sake, those flash deals. Transferring money to my paypal account takes 3 work days and i can't get a paysafecard before the Saints Row 3 deal runs out

My edit was faster than your post!

 

[old manatee]

holy fuck at this thread

is legends of grimrock good? seems like my type of game, but is it frustrating at all? i like to be able to save anywhere in my games, does it allow you to do this? i ask because it is described as old-school.

You can save anywhere. It's an amazing game and I found it to be hard in a really satisfying way, save the final boss, which I tried for a while and then just gave up and watched it on youtube. no regrets. Incredible puzzles, atmosphere, and exploration.

 

[blackMamba1187]

Please forgive me if this has been mentioned already (I searched for 'gamestop' on the previous few pages). I went into gamestop today to get a $50 steam wallet code with some credit that I have. The cashier told me that they were giving an extra 30% trade in credit towards the steam wallet codes. If my spending keeps up I might end up back in there with some games to trade.

edit: ahh, just saw this link that someone posted on CAG http://store.steampowered.com/news/8396/

 

[Empty Space]

Hows Warlock's tutorial? I downloaded the demo, but its useless without knowing what to do. I should point out I've never played Civ V.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Also I just noticed galciv 2 is on the Top Rated tab. Well deserved.

 

[schnell]

I had that happen to me right after I added some money to my wallet, but after waiting about 30 minutes, then it worked.

I found out it's sitting in my account as a pending purchase, but the money is still there so I assumed it hadn't worked. I assume this has something to do with my plan to buy games as giftable so instead of them going unplayed in my library, I could trade them when I decided the purchase was a bad idea. We'll see in the morning I suppose.

 

[Artofwar420]

Nothing really. Maybe the warlock dlc if you're not sure you'll like it.

I'm looking at this WTF Is.. video linked earlier: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ydHz7X4GF8 and I'm kind of loving the premise Civ with wizards and mythological creatures.

edit: i dropped STALKER Clear Sky... it used to be like 1.50 but now its 4.99, yeah right lol.

It's fine so far. It teaches you as you play, and gives you steps to follow. It seems very straight forward and i haven't never really played Civ games.

 

[scorpscarx]

I've bought nothing today, only thing that caught my eye that I don't have is Rayman Origins, but $15 is steep.

I'm generally apathetic towards plat-formers, I'm too hardcore for them you see.

Welp.

Do yourself a favour and take out Section 8 and at least get Section 8: Prejudice for 1 dollar more. That one is better and has campaign story and co-op.

 

[Sutton Dagger]

If Crysis 2 comes up for community flash deal and it isn't selected, I'm going to cry.

 

[OniShiro]

Kinda offtopic but...

I finished Hard Reset a month ago, should I reinstall to play the new Exile DLC? but I don't want to have to finish the game again, if I reinstall will I be able to start from the new DLC missions?

 

[RiccochetJ]

I bought both the Star Wars games. I enjoyed the first one on Xbox and I can't wait to see...

30GB?!?! :O

I'll have to queue that bastard up before I leave for work! Thankfully I don't have a data cap, but I have to imagine that someone over there will be raising an eyebrow!
By comparison the second one is 6!

 

[Cuban Legend]

I already got Section 8rejudice and I'd like to give that developer mo' money!

I don't know, the flash sales might as well be dailies. So you're following them alright, also including the "deep discounts" rule.

 

[LobLob]

I've been getting this error for a while when trying to use my steam wallet to pay:

I"M TRYING TO GIVE YOU MY MONEY, WHY IS THAT SO HARD

This happened to me and my wallet funds for almost two hours earlier today. It finally started working and i have bought 3 games so far. Just keep trying every so often until it works, sorry you got this as well.

Also, FUCK...I am already caving in and going to replenish my steam wallet funds tomorrow since i will be picking up a fourth game tonight in Trine 2 if it wins in the current poll, damn you GabeN.

 

[Zero-Crescent]

Yikes, I didn't realize that Might & Magic Clash of Heroes was part of the Daily Deal. I'll pick that up too, since it's on my list. Is the "I Am the Boss" DLC worth getting along with it?

 

[Apdiddy]

Is it worth 5 bucks guys?

If you like a game that can be completed in 4 hours and is a bad God of War clone, then sure.

I played the first Star Wars: TFU and beat it, but how that game got released, I'll never know.

 

[a posh hammer]

Did anyone buy the Indie Bundle 1?

Nope, number 2 is the only one that doesn't overlap heaps with what I've accumulated over the years

 

[hlhbk]

IMMA SAY FUCK RULES

I am so sorry you bought the steaming pile of shit that is SWTFU and TFUII on PC. At least on consoles the origional doesn't have technical issues outside of screen tearing on xbox.

 

[scorpscarx]

Also, FUCK...I am already caving in and going to replenish my steam wallet funds tomorrow since i will be picking up a fourth game tonight in Trine 2 if it wins in the current poll, damn you GabeN.

If people buy Trine 2 and want to play the campaign I'm down for another session, haven't played in 2 months or so.

It's all about eye candy.

 

[Einbroch]

So on the fence about Legend of Grimrock...

 

[~Kinggi~]

How do you know what the bundles contain?

 

[elfinke]

Caught my interest for that reason too, and it seems nice from the videos I've seen. It's just 4 bucks iirc, I put it on my "buy on last day if it doesn't have a better sale" list.

Anyone played E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy? It looks like Deus Ex, and I loved me some Deus Ex.

I bought it when it first came out (needed a Deus Ex fix), and I loved the hell out of it.It was full of jank, had so many idiosyncracies that rendered it near unfathomable in parts, but man, I just fucking loved it. If it gets a good sale, just buy it and devote a lazy Sunday afternoon to playing it one day.

 

[Katoki]

Posting again since I don't recall anyone answering that other guy either.

Anyone know if there's a list of those hidden deals/promotions out there? The two that got circulated by word of mouth only as far as I recall are Hard Reset and PixelJunk Eden. Hell for that matter, anyone see anything else out there?

 

[Huevos de Oro]

How do you know what the bundles contain?

A couple days ago the details on the indie bundles planned for this sale were posted at the Steam thread. One of them registry shenanigans I guess.

 

[OniShiro]

So on the fence about Legend of Grimrock...

When on the fence my rule is only buy if 75%+ off. But that's because of my massive backlog....

 

[Retne]

Here's a nice Giant Bomb Quick Look. I wish I could tell you more but I have to wait until I get home to play all these games.

Is LovingSteam banned? He hasnt been around in awhile.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

Should I grab Civ: Gods & Kings now? Will it go on sale further y'all think?

 

[GreatMightySymp]

Does anyone here know if Audiosurf usually goes below the 75% off it's at right now during the Summer Sale? Been having that in my wish list for a while now.

(Only asking because the game's like $2, so it's not like the other ones where's it more obvious.)

 

[Retne]

C'mon man! Rule #1 of Steam Sales: Don't buy unless it's a Daily Deal or it's the last day of the sale.

Also Gods and Kings has already hit $20 on GMG so there is a chance that it could see a bigger cut than the -10% it has right now.

EDIT: @GreatMightySymp: -75% is usually about as deep as the discounts go. Also if it does go any deeper we're talking about pennies here. I would recommend you just buy it.

 

[Sblargh]

Should I grab Civ: Gods & Kings now? Will it go on sale further y'all think?

It doesn't matter the theories about if it will go on sale or not. If it doesn't go, then you grab it the last day.
It's a rational bet, not a prophecy.

I'm sad the Cyan pack doesn't include Exile or Revelation. I know why it doesn't, but it'd be nice to get the whole shebang in one go.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Hm just purchased indie bundle #1 but don't see any of the games in my library...

 

[Huevos de Oro]

Should I grab Civ: Gods & Kings now? Will it go on sale further y'all think?

10% off is nothing to jump right into the BUY button, honestly. There's a fair chance the Civ franchise will get a spot in a daily and even if it doesn't you can always pick it up by the time the sale ends.

Does anyone here know if Audiosurf usually goes below the 75% off it's at right now during the Summer Sale? Been having that in my wish list for a while now.

75% off is as good a deal as any. Even if it does go lower, you're not looking at a much more significant save.

I would just get it now. In the very unlikely event that they just give it away, you're out $2.50 at most. Nothing to lose.
