No Autumn Sale Group so we can download clean versions of the backgrounds?

I need me some new wallpapers!

[Karl2177]

Thanks for the advice. I'll hold off on Mirror's Edge until it is 75% off. Hopefully it isn't on Saturday when I'm on a plane all day.

Does anyone know if Mass Effect will get down to 75% as well?

 

[snoopeasystreet]

There's badge or metagame, right?

 

[ReverseFate]

What are the chances that Anno 2070 will be around 10 or so bucks during this sale? I really want the game, but I feel that roughly 20 bucks is still a little too steep for me.

Why is Tappet carrying a turkey corpse up with him?

Only the Winter/Summer sales have metagames.

Hey guys! 3DMark Vantage is 75% off! What a Steal!

Well, yeah, I already got it. But they usually put a cleaner/bigger version on the Group (in earlier sales), so I was just wondering.

 

[DSmalls84]

Whats the gameplay like in walking dead? I haven't played any telltale games but is it point and click?

 

[Tizoc]

I can vouch for Lost Horizon. It's very loosely based on the story of the same name. Atmospheric, exotic. Sort of an Indiana Jones adventurer vibe. Great visual design and use of colour. Didn't seem to frustrating. I liked the characters. Localization was solid and it didn't feel like a gibberish Eastern Europe PnC. I only played about half of it so I don't have much to add about pacing or how the story concludes or anything, but definitely worth the $5. You might want to wait to see if it becomes a daily deal (it's been a daily deal many times before) or 75% off.

Thanks, added it to my cart =)

It's clearly not a corpse, look at the wonderfully articulated turkey eyebrow in the picture. (Zoom in if you can't see it). I think Occam's Razor applies here, the most simple explanation is the best. The turkey ALSO wants to go space-diving, but since it lacks arms, it can't climb the ladder on its owns. Tappet thus injected it with helium, tied on a leash, and climbed the ladder himself. Best of both worlds, turkey has a good time.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

Does it make more sense to pick up The Walking Dead for $12.50 from Amazon instead of Steam since 1) it activates on Steam anyway, and 2) you receive $5 credit that can be applied to any "Editor's Choice" PC download? (Hopefully that includes certain games like Dark Souls and Max Payne 3).

I'm not missing anything, here, right?

 

[DagsJT]

Whats the gameplay like in walking dead? I haven't played any telltale games but is it point and click?

Hmm, kind of. You can move the character around but there's hotspots where important items are that you can interact with. It's more about the story, and the choices you make to various situations and how it changes the story each time.

Sounds like the better deal to me.

Borderlands 2 is a better game than the first, but the core gameplay is pretty much the same as is the tone of the writing. So if you didn't like those elements in the first, BL2 probably won't change your mind.

So if Tappet made it a turkey balloon, how would it go space diving being a balloon and all?

 

[Tizoc]

Ys on Steam is also on sale. I plan on getting the games for my Vita eventually but as is....which one of the two should I get?

 

[schandmann]

As someone who has never played a point and click sort of game, which one would you recommend for $2.49 or less?

If you can spend $10 on a bundle and Steam keys aren't a must, the recent gog.com Pick 5 & Pay $10-deal would be a fantastic starting point.

Machinarium, Botanicula, Gemini Rue, Resonance, To The Moon, done.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

I'd say no.

OK thanks guys. Those cheap prices messing with my mind :lol

 

[Juravsky]

First day and I already started buying, oh well...

 

[Spierek]

Hey guys! 3DMark Vantage is 75% off! What a Steal!

DEAL OF THE SALE, ALL SALE

Spoiler

oh wow, I almost forgot that this even existed

 

[Mavromatis]

Keep an eye on the flash sales. These are the start and end for the second wave.

This is the 1st Round

This is the 2nd Round

 

[zlatko]

So if I buy The Walking Dead, is it the season pass for all 5 episodes or just episode 1?

 

[Joe Molotov]

Only the Winter/Summer sales have metagames.

Summer 2012 didn't have one, though. *sad*

 

[Santiako]

So if I buy The Walking Dead, is it the season pass for all 5 episodes or just episode 1?

All 5.

 

[Toki767]

I caved and bought KOTOR 2 because I'm weak.

 

[drizzle]

These Brazilian Prices are CRAZY. Spiderman is 51% off. Not even them can figure this shit out properly.

 

[zlatko]

All 5.

Excellent thank you. Think I'll take the plunge then as GAF has been saying it's a GOTY contender.

 

[Wario64]

I wish someone would make an RSS feed or something for the Flash sales

 

[DagsJT]

If you're on the fence about The Walking Dead, here's a review of the last episode. No spoilers there (MAYBE avoid staring at the pictures, I guess) but that review is spot on.

We're the meta game for the Valve economists.

 

[Salsa]

Thats just 20 bucks. 5 bucks less than the US.

Game is 8 bucks in russia

 

[Joe Molotov]

If I buy Walking Dead, does it come with all 5 episodes, or just Episode 5 and I have to DVR the first four?

 

[derExperte]

So if I buy The Walking Dead, is it the season pass for all 5 episodes or just episode 1?

Why does this question get asked every five minutes? It states in the description what you get.

 

[xJavonta]

All five.


I think I should get KOTR II. Never played any of them.

 

[Spotless Mind]

Double dipped on Critter Crunch. Buy it people! It's AMAZING!

 

[xelios]

it was reaching its capacity, we just discuss sales here until they're over and xelios or Orange open thread 4

Orange will be doing the OT, I just did it in his place when he was banned.

 

[drizzle]

Yes, we have games cheaper, but not as cheap as those pesky Russians and their good vodka and cheap games!

I was referring more to the 51% discount.

 

[xJavonta]

Well, I only want to spend $5 today. So Cargo Commander or KOTOR 1?

 

[toddhunter]

In the last sale did any flash sales not end up as daily deals?


--
Wait for the daily deals
If you buy the Walking Dead on PC you get all episodes

 

[wazoo]

Buy Cargo commander today and kotor 1 tomorrow.

 

[wazoo]

They change all the time. Now, indies are separate for example. So, do not take anything as granted from past sales.

 

[Ken]

Kotor2 for 2.50 good deal? I recall there being problems trying to run it in widescreen or something or am I just making that up.

 

[xJavonta]

Buy Cargo commander today and kotor 1 tomorrow.

But it says:
Buy Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
FLASH SALE! Offer ends in 06:05:26

Doesn't that mean it'll be full price tomorrow?

 

[cicero]

Exactly. This is a brilliant deal.

 

[zephervack]

Bought Critter Crunch and KOTOR 2, Gabe is kind.

 

[JeTmAn81]

Kotor2 for 2.50 good deal? I recall there being problems trying to run it in widescreen or something or am I just making that up.

I bought it so hopefully no issues. Isn't there some custom patch for restoring content that didn't make it into the original game? Either way I am a big fan of the first game and have wanted to play II for a while.

 

[xJavonta]

Fuck it, bought KOTOR 1 and 2.

 

[cicero]

I'm not sure if xelios plans on updating his Amazon Steam activating sales post now that the older thread is temporarily locked, but if so, the Dreamcast Pack - $4.99, with Steam activating Jet Set Radio, is back and all the games except for Crazy Taxi are now DRM Free.

[Nelo Ice]

Picked up KOTOR 2 and Critter Crunch. Think I'll be fine with that and possibly Dark Souls for the rest of the sale. Thank you DOTA 2 and CS:GO for keeping me distracted from adding to my Steam library.

 

[Cyberquake]

GAF, I mustn't spend anything more than 10€. I promised myself I wouldn't buy anything on this sale but... fuck gabe!

So far my cart is like this:

KOTOR
KOTOR II
The Witcher

Total so far: 6.72€

So yeah, I love RPGs, but some fps/platformers/action games as well. Any recomendations? I'm almost buying Cave Story+. And remember, must not spend more than 10€, so the last game should be like 3.28€ max.
