Waiting for civilization 5 to hopefully go on sale.

[korroke]

Planetary Annihilation any good? I'm hearing so many mixed reviews.

[Hondaracer]

bought the witcher 2 for $3.99

downloaded first one, played 10 minutes, never played again, second looks pretty intersting

[Recon604]

need to buy counterstrike GO and paydayy

[StylinRed]

Goat simulator? :lol Save 20% on Goat Simulator on Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/265930/)


Bought Goodbye Deponia (http://store.steampowered.com/app/241910/), I didn't know that there was a 3rd one! I still haven't finished the second one but loved the first one

[chin3se604]

I plan on getting Faster than Light, what are some other fun games worth getting?

[Xu.Vi]

Don't starve and XCOM are pretty fun!

[SkinnyPupp]

FTL, Don't Starve, FC3, XCOM are all solid choices.

Rogue Legacy will probably go on sale, and it is worth it. CivV always goes on sale, and is always a solid buy

[EndLeSS8]

I bought all of these smaller games for 50% off already today

Ikaruga, Gigantic Army, Devil May Cry 4, Lone Survivor, and Oniken

Is there a way to buy a couple copies of a game I already have on sale and gift them later on?

[CRS]

Is there a way to buy a couple copies of a game I already have on sale and gift them later on?

I believe so... Just add to your gift inventory?

[Tr1ll]

Can't log onto Steam..keeps giving me a connection error when I try to login :suspicious:

[underscore]

I believe so... Just add to your gift inventory?

I figured it out, you can't buy gift copies when you buy regular stuff. So if you do 2 transactions you can do it. Stupidly you can't buy more than 1 gift copy at a time and you can't buy a multipack for gifts if you already own a copy.

[PuYang]

Just bought ORION: Dino Horde for $1.50~ Dota2 item money lol

This game looks fun. Always wanted to survive against dinosaurs, zombies are getting boring xD

[Jmac]

Will probably buy Tropico 5 if it goes on sale ... and the newer Civ5 DLC maps ... Maybe the Skyrim DLC I haven't bought yet

Edit: Bought the Scrambled Continents and Scrambled Nations map packs for Civ. Too much right now for Tropico 5 and Skyrim DLC (cheaper to buy the Legendary Edition).

[yray]

^ tropico keeps referring me to amazon to buy the game instead :lawl: go figure

such shitty games in the last 2 days

[mk1freak]

never played skyrim, though i've seen it on consoles is the pc version any good? 13 for it and all dlcs seem like a good deal.
thanks

[SkinnyPupp]

Skyrim is absolutely worth it! Especially if you have a powerful PC and can install a bunch of mods. Wow how much would I love to be able to play Skyrim for the first time right now instead of the shitty PS3 version I bought. You're so lucky :ahwow:

[twitchyzero]

so glad i held out on AoE II HD...$2.50 with DLC on amazon...weekend price errors FTW

[TOPEC]

each year, amnesia goes on sale, each year im tempted to buy it but never did
this year its on sale again, i think ill buy it, but will i play it lol

[sam0m0]

was keeping eye on aoe II .. only saw it for 4.99 and forgotten exp for extra 2.50

planetary annihilation is tempting right now for 16.99

[yogenfruz]

Bought Risk of Rain for 4.99... Liking it so far, especially because I finally have a game to play online that doesn't chug my laptop when things get going crazy.

[chin3se604]

woohoo glad i waited for FTL

[EndLeSS8]

What discount do you guys think Dark Souls II will go down to?

My last 2 on my waiting list is now Child of Light and Dark Souls II

I bought Sleeping Dogs last year for less than $5, that was insane. I only played 30 mins (lol) but the game looks great.

Tomb Raider was for $7, pretty crazy

[dub.g]

risk of rain is actualyt $2.49

bought awesomenauts for $1..

Insurgency for $6.74 is also an awesome deal.. paid full price for that back in march

[ForbiddenX]

Only bought Naruto for now. Planning on getting Risk of Rain and Kingdoms of Amalur today.

Also don't forget to use this handy flow chart when buying games:

[TOS'd]

arma 3, 50% off @ $29.99 now. do you guys think itll get cheaper?

EDIT: according to above chart, i should get it..

[dub.g]

the daily deal sale actually last for 48 hours (2 days) for all the games listed so im holding off on Arma 3 until i see tmr deals

[TOS'd]

holding off because there might be another game you rather spend money on or because it might get cheaper?

[ForbiddenX]

Doesn't get any cheaper than flash sales or daily deals

[twitchyzero]

waiting for arma 3 to hit $10-15...i stopped buying games that isn't 75%+ off haha

just grabbed this

[Canadian Rider]

Just bought ARMA3... shouldn't of. my wallet is glaring at me.. but i did.

[yray]

^must resist :fuuuuu:

[Inaii]

Grabbed SimCity 4. It was only $5 so I figured why not. Did they ever fix all the shit that was wrong with it?

[Hondaracer]

Never had many problems with sim city even at launch personally.

Fuck now I remember why I stopped playing the Witcher, who the fuck wants to remember 30 different hot keys for all abilities etc :/

[SkinnyPupp]

Yup that's exactly why I stopped... Not what I'm looking for in an RPG

[chin3se604]

CS GO is on sale for 50% right now, what's the chances of it going lower?

[SkinnyPupp]

Kerbal STILL not hitting that $10 threshold I set for it :fuckthatshit:

[Psykopathik]

CS GO is on sale for 50% right now, what's the chances of it going lower?

none during this sale. wait for winter if you are too cheap. buy now if you cant wait.

Rule of thumb for Steam Sales.
-Buy a game if its on Daily Deal or Flash sale or Community Choice. that is likely the cheapest it will be during the sale.
-For anything that wasn't one of the above, wait for the 2nd to last day to buy it. Waiting till the last day, you chance missing it entirely.

the last day is typically the "Encore" sales of the best sellers. last chance to grab a good deal.

-Don't buy the first thing you see EG: Tomb Raider - Daily Deal for $5. scroll down on the TR page. often there are bundles like Game Of The Year versions / Full Franchise / Season Pass packages for only a few $ more. In some cases, even cheaper than the daily deal/flash sale for the game alone.

[ForbiddenX]

I would also recommend using the addon Enhanced Steam (http://www.enhancedsteam.com/).

It comes with a lot of features and it will even tell you what the lowest price has been and if it's cheaper in any different regions.

[twitchyzero]

isthereanydeal.com is the most comprehensive one...although it doesn't take into account credits/coupon codes afaik

[Jmac]

The Witcher was frustrating to play because of the controls ... The Witcher 2 was amazing ...

Mass Effect 1 & 2 for $9 ... :considered:

[ceeteezy]

so far picked up:
anno 2070
far cry franchise pkg
FTL
simcity 4
xcom
fallout new vegas
fallout 3
dragon age ultimate edition
bioshock triple package
might have gone overboard but damn these are cheap deals. Still waiting for CIV5 and might grab bully

[ForbiddenX]

^civ5 on sale today :)

got:
Naruto
Brothers
Battlefront 2

Continuing to add to my never ending backlog of games I will probably only play for 20 minutes lol

[Cman333]

You guys are sooooooo bad for me. To buy or not to buy. I haven't even played or installed most of the games I've bought.

[6o4__boi]

yup, just bought civ5
fuuuuuu this sale is killing my wallet right now

[Hondaracer]

Some of the games are priced kinda stupid, there have been a few kinda indie titles that look very interesting come up but they are priced at $10-$15, when I've already bought so many games it's kind of hard to justify 10-15 where as if it was 3-6 I'd probably grab it no problem

[ForbiddenX]

Indie games usually fall between that range after a couple of sales if you don't mind waiting.

I miss the indie bundles they had when the sales were still kind of new. Could get a lot of games for really low prices.

[Cillu]

Got Civ 5 Complete finally. I was waiting for that since day 1 of the sale. Also picked up Brothers as it seems like its an interesting game that has a good story to it. I have such a huge backlog of games now lol.

[underscore]

Skyrim is on for $5 right now.

[EndLeSS8]

If you guys haven't played any of the Batman - Arkham series, I would suggest buying them now.

I bought Dishonored and Double Dragon last night, and another game I forgot. Ughh

[sam0m0]

was planning to get brothers and civ5 too but decided against it. cuz I just bought Bastion,awesomenauts and world of goo, planetary annihilation and aoe 3 hd the past couple days lol.

[Gh0stRider]

is payday2 any good?

[twitchyzero]

Anyone tried tropico 4 and 5? Should I bother getting tropico 4 sse for few bucks if I'm getting 5 anyways?

[CRS]

is payday2 any good?

Yes!

I was super into Payday 2 but then some updates happened where they had basically godly swat people and so I lost interest.

:lol

Not sure if it has changed.

[dared3vil0]

Any good RPG's on sale? Haven't played ANY sort of game but wouldn't mind something to kill a half hour here and there...

[SkinnyPupp]

Half an hour in an RPG? That's like barely enough time to name your character :derp:

[dared3vil0]

You missed what i said- i didn't mean a half hour and that's it, i meant something i will play for bit whenever i'm bored kind of thing.

[SkinnyPupp]

I know what you meant, but an RPG isn't the type of game you drop in and play for half an hour... In fact it's kind of the exact opposite of that

[Klondike]

Assetto Corsa is on sale, finally. (http://store.steampowered.com/app/244210/) I'll buy a steam gift card in the morning.

[bananana]

nerded out and got wargame: red dragon. hopefully it's good!

[yogenfruz]

One Way Heroics - 0.87$... Honestly, a decent way to kill an hour or two for under a buck.

[Gh0stRider]

goat simulator :lawl:

[lilaznviper]

tempted to buy it just for lolz

[chin3se604]

oh man the Last Day’s Featured Deals

tempted to buy a few >__<

[Cman333]

Caved and got payday 2 and xcom. Damnit. I probably wont even play until next year lol

[twitchyzero]

added 6 games to the backlog...total damage under $15 :notbad:

[k3lv]

Got Assetto Corsa just cause I've been eyeing that game for a while, but for $40 I couldn't justify.

[3klipze]

Wallet is safe this summer.

[ceeteezy]

Soo.. whens the next sale? Winter steam sale? haha

[twitchyzero]

probably halloween
