    Without the flash sales, I wonder if they're gonna offer anything as a "reward" to get people playing the minigames other than just cards.

    Why would they? There were no rewards besides the cards before, either.
    Well except when they did the coal thing, and the summer...ticket...thing? And that was years ago

    EDIT: Oops, misread the post. Here, have some cross-posted deals:
    Iolo wrote: »
    Newegg is selling a bunch of PC game keys. There's a pretty good selection (way beyond what I've listed). Many of these have been on sale a lot before, but there are some very good prices and, with the promo code EMCKKNT58 knocking off an additional 15%, some of these games are hitting record lows. For example:

    Singularity for $6.38 (really good corridor shooter with accumulating time bending powers)
    Borderlands 2 for $4.25 (!!!)
    Borderlands 2 GOTY for $8.50 (lowest price yet, and the cheapest way to pick up all the DLC if you have the base game)
    Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel for $17
    Borderlands TPS Doppleganger for $2.89 (fantastic character class)
    Call of Juarez: Gunslinger for $3.19 (so, so good)
    South Park: Stick of Truth for $6.375

    NOTE: If you want the game on Steam, double check that you are getting Steam and not UPlay. All the Far Cry games, for example, are being sold on UPlay. All the ones I've listed are showing as Steam.

    EDIT:

    And don't miss Nuuvem's Black Friday sale. You have to do a currency conversion to figure out the prices, but there are some fantastic deals to be had, such as:

    Mad Max for $15.95
    Pillars of Eternity for $11.96
    Armello for $10.63

    Witcher 3 is $17.28, but it's a GoG download if that matters (which it might to those of your reading this in the Steam thread. <3)

    There were collective rewards in the form of extra flash sales you could choose between - they weren't ever in question and everybody knew they'd come up by the end of the sale anyway, but it created enough of the illusion of a reason to play the mini games.

    Ah right!
    That was mainly a way to regulate the badge-drop economy though, I think.

    Grow Home is really, really good. The best platformer I've played in years. Also, despite being published by Ubisoft, it doesn't require UPlay.

    There's also a 10% off coupon that works with it:

    I'm not sure what you're trying to say. That it isn't a platformer? That it isn't amazing?

    Wow, holy shit.

    That's such a low price that the 10% off coupon only saved me a little under 2 bucks. Insanely good deal.

    EDIT: Authorized distributor though; so they didn't get the key from the publisher, so be aware if that's not something you're down with.

    Since this is technically sale related, I'm gonna post this question in here, for @vsove

    Why does Bioware DLC never seem to go on sale? Origin occasionally does some pretty good deals for games in the Mass Effect/Dragon Age series', but their respective DLC always seems to stay the same price, occasionally being more expensive than the base game. Is that an active decision, or just something that has to exist for X reason?

    Been in a very specific mood for stories, and ended up browsing through Steam's Cyberpunk tag.

    The Bad: Read Only Memories isn't on sale, still considering buying it
    The Good: Satellite Reign is on a bigger discount than I expected, also I totally forgot Wadjet Eye made a Cyberpunk adventure game that I might need to check out

    Satellite Reign is pretty cool, I had a good time with it.

    My biggest piece of advice is that you don't need to do every sidequest in an area before you move on.

    I should probably finally get around to upgrading my Dark Souls 2 to Scholar of the First Sin

    It annoyed me in previous sales that it was cheaper to buy it new than to upgrade it, fortunately not the case for this one

    Pilars of Eternity is a lot of fun once I realized important positioning and CC are. It's been a long, long time since I've played a CRPG, and I was kind of crap at them back then anways, so I'm learning everything from scratch. Still having a bit of choice overload come every level up, but samrt ass, stabby DPS rogue is working out so far.

    And I'm still early but I really like how the story is going so far. Usually I ignore the lore in games like these because it's all fantasy name word soup, but here I find myself getting really caught up in the background stories and history of everything and how it relates to the main quest.

    I know the DLC is set during the story instead of being it's own seperate thing; is it worth it to get it now or should I just finish the main story once and wait for it to go on sale?

    I'm generally not a fan of this style of upgrade, but 90% off is making me strongly consider getting it.

    90? I'm only seeing 50. Maybe because I only have the base game and none of the dlc

    yeah the upgrade is increased for each dlc you have

    with the full set of dlc you're basically paying $5 for a dx11 version

    Has anyone gotten Transformers Devastation on PC? I was thinking of getting it on that GMG sale and can only find minimum specs for it online, I don't wanna run this unless I can get a high frame rate.

    I'm not at my comp but I have an Intel i5 (sandy bridge, don't remember the specific model), a Radeon HD7970 and 8 gigs of ram. I know this wasn't the biggest budget game but at the same time my machine is starting to be the be the poster boy for min spec for current games.

    Scholar of the First Sin is really, really good. All the enemy layout changes they made makes it a lot more than just an H-er D package of all the DLC. Plus some of that DLC is, quality-wise, up there with Artorias.

    What do you mean? There was a patch for "regular" Dark Souls 2 released alongside Scholar of the First Sin, but it didn't include the new enemy placements

    SotFS also came with some changes to the DLC areas, mostly minor ones like AI tweaks
