    I'm about to bite on GTAIV and Xcom. Is it worth paying the extra £2.50 for Episodes from Liberty City?

    @MisterM

    Short answer, Yes.

    Long Answer, Hell fucking yes.

    Fo Realzy answer, Lost and Damn takes the bleak realism and runs with it, while Gay Tony is a return to a more San Andreas style lighter hearted but still fun play.

    Just.. have a controller if you play Gay Tony, because helicopter missions are a bitch with just the keyboard/mouse

    What I really need this Dale is a really great space combat sim to play with my new flightstick. Chat mostly recommended Evochron Mercenaries. Any other suggestions, thread, on what to watch for on sales?

    Yeah, Strike Suit, but a lot of my reading says it's not that great with a flight stick.

    I just realized that this is a terrible time to ask for opinions in this thread, as it races by like a bullet train.

    What's the community choice that won? The site isn't displaying correctly on my phone (and the mobile version is stupid and doesn't show anything)

    Click "voting" its the top bar option on the right under "catalog".

    I did, but it only shows the daily and flash deals, not the community choice (though I can vote for the next one -_-). On the Desktop version on my phone, for some reason none of the graphics for the flash deals or community choice are loading either -_-

    It's not showing it on the actual steam program right now, either, but I remembered reading it won this morning.

    Boy, Chivalry is super tempting. Note, a 4 pack would work out under $5 a piece. That seems like a no brained to me.

    I'll go in on that. I'm keeping one and giving one to my bro. Anyone want the other 2?

    I'm in for 1.

    Sweet. Alright I picked it up. That finishes my wallet off today though. I'll send it to you in a sec Vorpal. Make sure you friend me!

    I'm at 2/4 of the games I wanted this sale to get flash deals.

    Got X-Com and Euro Truck 2, Just waiting for Walking Dead and Final Fantasy VII now to get flash deals.

    Walking Dead is a daily deal, and I'd be amazed if it showed up for less as a flash deal.

    Unless you have a daily spending limit or something, you should snag it now.

    Or unless you mean 400 Days, which I cannot imagine getting discounted at all.

    @Lawndart I'm only buying flash deals, until the last day of the sale.

    FEZ - yay or nay? I've heard that it's quite buggy, is that true?

    This was never true. there was just 1 terrible bug where you wouldnt be able to 100% the game... on xbox.

    I plan to play XCom and GTA IV on my "Steam Box" so I will have a controller.

    I was doing so well! Anti-Chamber managed to snag me yesterday, but now Chivalry, Surgeon Simulator, TWD, and more may hit my wallet later this evening. Plus I have a few friends who have yet to experience FTL and I feel the need to shove them out the airlock.

    Is there an easy way to buy multiple gift copies of something without going through individual purchases over and over again?

    EDIT: Hopped on and voted for Napping Puppies for those that wanted it.

    WTF? I swear I own Just Cause 2...but apparently I had it on the PS3 before I got rid of it. I assume it's recommended on the PC, has controller support, etc?

    Yes, it is superb. It also has mods. I haven't used any, but some of them sound fun.

    At least it's not just me then :P Steam servers always seem to suffer during these sales :P

    Think Bioshock Infinite will make it on the flash? Its my top snag for this Dale, and I don't want to pull the trigger too early.

    It will probably not go any cheaper than it is for the (2-day) daily.

    I think @An Alt may have been trying to set some kind of a speed record, because I got slapped with a gift copy of FTL before I could even get through the server congestion to see what today's deals were!

    Thanks very much :) I will name a crew member in your honor, and I apologize in advance for all of your deaths-by-proxy if this game comes anywhere near to living up to its reputation for fatalities.

    WHOAH!
    If you buy the game from Amazon and get The Maw, you can get a second copy for a penny! It gives you $9.99 credit for the game (normal price) but it's on sale for $5 so you can buy it again and pay 1 cent difference. :D

    Sorry if that's old news.

    edit: It may glitch when it gives you the second key and it will be the same as the first. To view both keys go to http://amazon.com/YourGamesAndSoftware/

    Also, before I bite the bullet and pick up Fez, someone please tell me if it's an actual platformer game or one of those "puzzle games designed to look like a platformer" games like Braid.

    Because I enjoy platformers (as long as they're not brutally hard) but absolutely fucking loathed Braid.

    I just stopped by the house on my lunch break. Didn't even intend on turning my comp on but I did anyway. @IceBurner had gifted me with Farcry 3 Blood Dragon and @Spoit hit me with FTL! This is getting out of hand guys!

    I bought GTA4 solely to play that Iron Man mod. I never finished it on Xbox and it's bricked now, so good news or something.

    Also, Target aquired I hope he doesn't get angry!

    Topp aka @Saaruto empathized with my fate and recent depletion of bank account towards my engagement. Left me with some advice, and also a copy of Don't Starve. You can get by on Ramen noodles and love, right?

    Thanks again!

    paypal is usually how it works. Or you gift a game of equal value.

    Good eye! Definitely gonna pick that up for under $7. Still thinking on Far Cry 3...

    I'd recommend the mods for clouds and night sky. Make the game much prettier. (and fluffier!)

    @Broncbuster, you classy bastard, gifting me Fez. Just for that, I'm going to find a way to play it with a Flightstick.

    (Also, buy it and gift it to some other sap.)

  • SmokeStacksSmokeStacks Registered User regular
    After a really long shift and a 26 hour stint of insomnia @Big Classy has decided that the best game to gift me in my exhausted and very sleep-deprived state is Surgeon Simulator.

    I can see absolutely no way that this could go wrong.

    Please remove your clothing and put on this gown. I am going to take your vitals now.

    Thanks @Elin for Fez! I was going to buy it during my lunch break in like 30 minutes (figuring the store would be fairly stable by then) but you totally beat me to the punch!

  • akajaybayakajaybay Registered User regular
    Oof, I'd convinced myself I probably wouldn't end up seeing much I wanted to buy this sale but I'm tempted to buy so much on today's list.
    Surgeon Simulator, Chivalry, Fez, possibly even Walking Dead even though I 360'd it. Kind of want to move to PC for 400days and the eventual season 2.
    Runner 2 and if i can get in far enough to find out if it's also on sale maybe Blood Dragon.

    The best just cause 2 mod is the mile long grapple hook. Fact.

    I just sold my surround sound speakers (*tear*) and will partially console myself by going to get Fire Emblem for 3DS. Which I will then hide in shame from the Newell's watchful gaze.
