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

[Ghaleon]

Dormio voted against civ5 *rolls up sleeves*, LETS GET EM!!! =p

[Bardiche]

Be glad that you don't live in Australia where some games on steam are double the price that they are in the US, despite the fact that we have to pay in USD, for whatever reason.

For a lot of games for Europeans, Steam just swaps the dollar sign to a euro sign... and the euro is worth more than a dollar. Paying a solid 21% more than Americans on a lot of games is suffering.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

21% more beats paying 133% more than Americans in the case of Civ V. :derp:

See above method.  Get a US friend to buy, give them the price THEY paid, via Paypal or whatever other method, and pay the correct price.

Id offer to help with that but i only have 30 bux to spare, and between wanting civ5 and xcom i dont really have any left... Especially since i also want to get broforce i it gets a flash and spaz... And possibly other games that im just not thinking of yet.

Seriously, don't get it now, it might win community choice sale in 4 hours.

[Suikama]

oh hey ftl is on sale i hear that's pretty go-

You already own FTL: Faster Than Light

oh

[Reddyne]

Get Dark Souls! OMG GET DARK SOULS! The challenge is just right, gameplay is fantastic, and there's a hundred ways to play the game. A huge variety of weapons, 3 different schools of magic, covenants, armor set mix and matching, and so many other things change the way you can play. After I had beaten it, I went right back and started a new game with a new build. It's the only game I can say that about in the last 5 years. It'll be the best $5 you've spent in ages if you're into anything associated with the action/rpg genre. 

Numbers don't lie! Do it! Max out the Wanderer's starting equips and use the Wolf Ring to ensure you get the highest defense per weight yet still have the poise to avoid staggering! Buff that lightning uchigatana so that you have a weapon that causes stunlock and bleed damage! Boost Dex for insane scaling damage on your Balder side sword  BUT DON'T TELL ANY1 U LEVELED THAT UP, YOU

[Tamashii Kanjou]

Erm, can anyone else tell me if they can see the flash sale or not? Because I've shut down Steam and everything, but nothing has popped up at all; and it isn't showing the Community Vote either. (Though it did show what was up next, and I hope Gmod wins so we can finally get it nice and cheap.)

But yeah, can't see what's on Flash right now. (And about to go to bed, so I don't want to miss something I may be looking out for.)

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

I can't see the flash or community sale on my browser, alternate browser, or steam application.

EDIT: They're back now.

[Ghaleon]

In case someone can't see still or whatever...err. this is canada soo..I imagine similar to US? dunno

[Tamashii Kanjou]

And I missed it. I missed my chance to pick up Spec Ops; Dormio saw it happen too. He left me a message on Steam, finally opened it, and as I went to click on it, it auto refreshed for the next batch of sales. ><

Well, Gmod made it onto the sale, so I can get that at least. :V

[Dorakyura]

Get Dark Souls! OMG GET DARK SOULS!

After playing DS2, I can't go back, the controls were so wishy washy, it just hurts.

Pff, Wanderer's set...

Spoiler:

GIANTS, GIANTS, GIANTS! Become unstoppable!

Also: FTL is so addicting

I'll pick it up once it's featured in the daily deals. Also yeah, the kick/jump attack are so finicky that it makes me want to cry sometimes to the point I'll only try them when there's an immense amount of leeway.

The agility provided by lighter armor sets is totes legit, and Wanderer's tops that list. Giant's armor is fine but gimme some sweet dodge roll action any day. Paladin's/cleric's set is great for mid-range.

You don't seem to know the SL 99 Fast rolling Giants Armor with a Mask of the Father, aka Giants Dad

I got gmod awhile ago and it doesn't do @%#@#%... like every map I load is full of empty boxes saying does not have texture or something. I tried posting support on it but I never got an answer.
My best guess is that when they say you can only work gmod if you have certain games like halflife 2, counterstrike source, etc, etc...left 4 dead 2 is one of them. but that's the only game on their list I have and I suspect that while the game might LAUNCH if you have l4d2...it doesn't actually you know.. ever effing work at all.
oh yeah, and I can only see the first page in the map list, whenever I try switching to another page it just ends up saying there are none, as if after all these years there were only 9 maps/scenarios made for it.

[Ionasal kkll Solciel]

If the Steam Sale wasn't enough, Sony's got their own summer sale going on. I don't know what's on PS4, given that I don't have one. Supposedly this is a weekly sale, so check back next Tuesday?

Assassin's Creed Liberation (PS3)
Assassin's Creed Freedom Cry (PS3)
OlliOlli (PSV)
CastleStorm (PS3/PSV)
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 (PS3)
Deception IV: Blood Ties (PS3/PSV)
Dustforce (PS3/PSV)
Dynasty Warriors 8 (PS3/PSV) (why the hell didn't you get this on Steam)
Escape Plan (PSV/PS4)

[Edible]

(why the hell didn't you get this on Steam)

Very questionable port that removed features like online multiplayer. <_<

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

Why port the PS3 version as opposed to the PS4 version anyway?

[Bardiche]

Final Fantasy III has a 33% discount again.

[Tamashii Kanjou]

Final Bantasy, Rioshock and Tomb Faider are back on sale again~  :derp:

Next Car Game (HD Destruction Derby / FlatOut) is also on offer, though the game still has a lot of work going on.

Also, for anyone who hasn't experienced VVVVVV yet, or has and wants to share the experience with others, please vote for the Pixel Pack! For 60p, I'd gift that to anyone! (Also, so I can experience ESJ for roughly the same price~  :V )

[LadyScarlet]

Should I buy FF14 and Child of Light now or wait for better sales? Because 25% off for CoL doesn't sound all that appealing.

Considering it's a daily, I would be shocked if CoL got more than a 25% discount since it just came out.

Well you know, last-day blowout sales and stuff. Will it go even lower then?

[Silent Harmony]

First off I could be wrong, but I think that games usually get 2 prices during a Steam Seasonal Sale: the "regular price" (either no sale or the one it has most days) and the "Daily/Flash/Community price" (self-explainatory). If it makes the blowout sale I'd imagine it would have the latter price.

Honestly it's rare for a new game to ever get a high sale because the developers still want to make as much money as they can before market forces a permanent price change. For instance the sale immediately after it's release FFVII was regular price for most of the sale and dropped I think 25% at most. This sale I saw it for 50% iirc. So it takes time for a game to get a good sale on Steam; if you don't want to wait several months I would grab it now.

[Tamashii Kanjou]

Echoing what Mime said. Once a product has hit the main sales, whatever price it sits it will be the lowest it'll go for that season. You'll have to wait for the next major sale season for a further price reduction; it's just the way it goes.

Newer games will always have very little in the way of discounts until they've been out for a few months. Nothing you can do about it, I'm afraid~

[MatsuriSakuragi]

man I'd get FFXIV if it didn't cost me a monthly subscription >_>

[Tamashii Kanjou]

Anyone else seeing Dragon Age at -125% at the moment?

Had to derp up sooner or later~ :V

[Silent Harmony]

Just checked. Yep it's in the negative.
