So do new releases (aka november releases) ever get discounted either at all or greater than like 20-25%? I want football manager 2015 and it's not discounted yet and GMG has a 20% off coupon that works with it right now that expires tomorrow.

Wait for the dailies if not buy them on he last day of the sale.

God effin' dammit, this lone Sega Classics pack is never on sale...anywhere.
Sorry to hear that. I bought this one for like $2.50 in July 2013 (Summer sale IIRC), along with Pack #4 for the same price. But yeah I've been wanting to nab a few individual Genesis games (that are in other packs) lately, but no luck, they're never on sale anymore.

How's Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition? I have the PS3 version already, is the port any better?
With DSFix, it's an amazing port. For this price, it's worth it just to play it at high res and 60 FPS.

Looking at Dark Souls and not sure if I should buy it. Is it frustrating hard?
No, it's really not. I'm bad at games and I do just fine.

Voted Hack 'n' Slash cause why not.

Haven't bought anything at all yet, though I'm eyeing DLC for Payday 2 and Long Live the Queen among other things.

And for the sake of it.

My god.

I've been waiting ALL DAY for Microsoft Flight Sim to launch on steam and it's out and immediately 80% off. What a day!
 
I don't understand what Metal Gear Revengence counts as?

it says 40~ hours remaining on this deal ($5) but it isn't listed as a daily or anything? What kind of sale is that? Does that count as a daily? Buy it now?

Buy it now if you want it, it's not getting cheaper this sale.

When a game is on a daily sale, so are the other games in the franchise.

The Rocksmith 2014 store page is stuffed again. Everything Ubi touches breaks.

Edit: Of course it loads immediately after I post about it. Of course.

...And the prices are the same shit as last time (individual songs further discounted, but not packs), with the exception of the Alice in Chains pack being 50% off for some reason.

edit: Just realized how old this post was and probably already echoing someone else's bitching. Carry on.

It's a Daily. Since Metal Gear GZ is on sale so is this.

I have no money this holiday season, but this was 19 cents so I sold some cards to give someone something this year :) Go sick.

Is this the first Bad Rats giveaway of the sale

Maybe the no lurkers rule shouldn't be there. New topic and all, chance that many who would JUMP at this honor just don't have enough posts.

Come on guys, let's get a lot of 'nice thread btw's going on!

Haha I still haven't bought Bad rats and I've been on steam thread sales for nearly 2 years. Think it's time to jump on board.

SteamGAF approved.

One of the best 4-player MP games on Steam (along with games like Lethal League!).

YAY. You'll find fellow gaffers who play this in the SteamGAF thread.

Absolutely Yay, unless you hate fun. Do you hate fun?

SteamGAF have competitions involving it from time to time. Seems solid.

Thanks... and done.

Now I'll be forced to enter DunderHassan's matches...
 
Voted for Hack and Slash then.

If the games have a 75% pretty sure it wont drop lower than that right?
or should I?
90cbeda5bb.gif

IIRC, from the patterns of past sales (x being the discount in question):
x < 75% - Potential daily/flash/community deal candidate. Wait until the last day of the sale.
x = 75% - Usually the lowest it'll go, but there have been some rare cases where it goes lower in a daily/flash/community.
x > 75% - Very unlikely to appear in a daily/flash/community. Feel free to pick it up whenever if you really really need it now, but wait until the last day of the sale anyways, just in case.

NOTABLE EXCEPTIONS: If the game is an older part of a currently-running franchise, wait for the daily deal on the current entry, as they usually increase the discount on the older games. For example, the Devil May Cry 3 and 4 bundle is currently 75% off, but dMc is only 50% off, and it's a likely daily deal. So when dMc is a daily, they might increase the discount on the DMC3/4 bundle.

You know there are some decent games available for pennies as well.

What a waste.

With cards? Bad rats is free money.

What are they? I literally only have pennies this year due to cremating my dad last week. But if its pennies I can do it. I like making people happy!

This year's trading card gimmick is boring. You don't get anything for crafting holiday badges right?
