Sales and Bundles: Latest - Steam Holiday Sale GIVE US YO MONEY

[Reddyne]

The only game that I can think of that I genuinely want to play went off sale for the final day because it was and probably never will be a featured/flash sale item. I have more than enough stuff to keep me busy, though. At this rate, I'll be gifting more stuff this time next year than getting for myself.

Steam, you done goofed!
Now if only it would have let me put it in my shopping basket~  :V

I'll take 500,000 copies, please.

They aren't down. But the servers are really shitty today. I mean, I have been getting 118 errors numerous times, when clearly I'm online.

I thought it was the client, then I tried browsers, still nothing. Getting 503 errors. And ffs Valve, I haven't played Dota 2 since last year, since I was too busy playing games I bought. I went from 80 ping last year to 400 ping today.

Anyways, I'm regretting not being able to buy Nihulumbra.

Humble Bundle X is up.  I think I'll pass on this one though.

[Ghaleon]

So I got Dungeon of the endless founder's pack, which comes with a 50% off coupon for Endless space. Apparently you can trade these, and I already have the game soo.. anyone want it? It's free but I'll accept small donations if you like too =P. I've never used steam coupons before but the faq says you can trade them, however it says they do NOT stack with sales so if you wanna wait for a sale or something it wont do you much good, it's more of a if you want it now thing.

I have no clue if it works for the gold package which comes with the expansion or not. I have an expansion coupon too but I intend to use that since I don't have it yet.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

If only I had a Playstation Plus account I'd be all over at least a couple of these.

[Ghaleon]

Nice find, imma get tales of xillia... I still haven't really tried a tales game much, I got vesperia but never got too into it. Xilia's combat looks better in the sense that it's possible to solo everything without getting hit if you play skillfully. Vesperia is kinda designed to trade blows, get healed, etc....not that that is bad, I just haven't been in the mood for that in a 3d movement game thing.

[Phlegeth]

GoG is having a sell on Sierra games and RPGs in general.

[Ghaleon]

Ooh, civ ctp2! I always liked civ ctp more than the "real" series... Not as balanced for sure but it was alot more fun to me. Always wanted to try 2.

rogueliiiiiiiiiiikes

[NekoNekoRex]

Six roguelike games. Get your reflexes ready.

>Rougelikes are a genre defined by turn-based actions and having as much time as you need to plan your next move

Almost a dealbreaker for me.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Not... particularly? I mean, yes, that's the majority of the genre but they're more primarily defined by being procedurally-generated dungeons, random nature, and concept of permanent death, which insures each time you play it the game is guaranteed to be a different experience than before.

Besides, there are still some turn-based ones in there. Most of the best turn-based roguelikes are free anyway :v

Almost a dealbreaker for me.

The dealbreaker should more be that the only good games in that are in the high purchase tier (and chances are if you were actually interested in Binding or Teleglitch you already have them)

[Ionasal kkll Solciel]

Now that 14 for '14's over, Sony has two new sets of deals. First, Play 2014, which has OlliOlli, some Dragonball Z game, Dustforce, and one I can't quite decipher on my television. Strangely, while the pages for the items do exist, there's no preorders like last year. Second, there's a music sale - a bunch of music, videos, free Music Unlimited streaming, and games. Game offerings are pretty sparse; Sound Shapes, KickBeat, Everyday Shooter, Retro/Grade, Rock Band Blitz (aka Amplitude done worse), etc.

This is true, but I'm under the belief that roguelikes are traditionally turn-based, and realtime games are exceptions to the rule. Thus saying "prepare your reflexes" subverts that a bit.

I'm just nitpicking anyway (and I already have most of those games regardless so I didn't buy it after all)

Gamefly digital has a few indie games on -30%_50% off. I already have starpoint gemini 2 so i didnt get it there but i wanna get dungeon dashers for 30% off. But the cart checkout page keeps timing out for me. Is it busted for everyone else too?

Btw if you haven't heard of gamefly digital ive used it before no problems. If you research gamely its one horror story after another but that is for their physical rental service, as far as i know their digital service is fine, and iirc the game i got on it had a steam key so im sure you get steam's policy on it?

[NekoNekoRex]

Isn't gamefly ridiculously expensive for a rental service?

I thought about getting it once but I found out it was like 30 bucks a month or something after the starter deal wore out.

err, as I said

Anyway the site is working for me now yay. I bought dungeon dashers, and yeah, you buy a steam product activation key for less than the price steam has so... not really sure how it's a bad deal? I imagine that means you get steam's support policy on it if you ever need it right?.

Humble Sid Meier Bundle.
Get it while it's cheap!

Srz, I'm definitely buying this, considering Civ 5 is more expensive even on any steam sale, and it sux without the Gods and Kings DLC.

Edit:
I have no more funds in PayPal that's enough for $15...
I still have $20 Steam funds though. Anyone want to buy me the bundle in exchange for an equivalent value'd game in steam of your choice?  :3

[Ghaleon]

What makes gods and kings such a must have? I tried civ 5 and felt it just wasnt an improvement over civ4 but never tried with the expansion so im curious before i shell out 500 bucks (canadian exchange rate is effing hella low atm qq)

[DX7.EP]

G&K significantly changes the game with espionage and religion components, 100HP on units rather than 10, new units, rebalances, new civs which take advantage of the new mechanics, new terrain, and so on. Also the majority of Workshop mods require G&K and/or BNW.

BNW adds G&K game mechanics as well IIRC on top of its new offerings (United Nations, culture/tourism, ideology, even more civs and a significantly changed France, dedicated trade caravan system), just not most of G&K's new civs.

Sony's having yet another sale pair going on right now; sales on games released last year, like P4A, Injustice, Guacamelee!, etc.; and sales to celebrate the Vita's anniversary, like Killzone: Mercenary, Malicious Rebirth, and Hotline Miami. In case you don't have a Vita, though, the games which have a PS3 counterpart like Spelunky have that version on sale too.

And of course there's the Ubisoft sale still going on.
