I saw Rome 2 once in a vote, and it didn't get picked. Otherwise I haven't seen it up on the sales, or AC3, which was the other one I wanted.
AC3 is on sale (not flash sale or anything, regular sale for the full duration of the holiday event) for like 75% off, making it like eight bucks which was cheap enough for me to snag it. An extra 5% or so isn't going to mean much to me at that price. Sales seem weird this year, too. Sometimes, flash sales are deeper discounts than daily deals, sometimes daily deals are better discounts than flash sales. I don't know what to think anymore. Dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria. edit: nope, I lied, the AC3 sale is because AC4 was a daily sale a day ago and the rest of the series was discounted too, and they stay discounted for a day afterwards. Argh, my bad. Wow, they totally didn't put that out there. I'm glad you mentioned it or I would have been super pissed off. Thanks a bunch for the heads up! |

Way too many indie platformer sprites are retro-cool games on the flash sales this year. The big budget stuff all seems to be smaller discounts or daily deals only and not really great daily deals at that. Maybe I just have too much shit from the last two years of sales that there just isn't anything left.

Yeah, I am sorta getting tired of seeing a game and thinking "well that looks kinda cool!" only to go in and see that it is some stupid pay-for-Alpha bullshit. And the descriptions of "hey, we're making this super cool game, but beware it will have shitloads of bugs and also we don't actually know where this shit is going to end up" don't exactly inspire confidence. Should be illegal.

Bioshock Infinite just went on Flash sales for $20. Couldn't resist - then kicked myself because I fell into their trap of buying the season pass.
I'm hoping Enemy within might come back on sale.

I realize a lot of people had issues with Dark Souls PC. However, I didn't realize how bad it was until I tried to play it. I never actually got into the game because GFWL is telling me my key is invalid. It's also telling me I don't have a GFWL login, which I do. And when I try to reset my password, it just takes me to a blank page.
It's not worth refunding $6, but this is terrible.

What? How can Dark Souls even be using the dumpster fire that is GFWL? I thought that shit was shut down?

Microsoft intends to shut it down (June or something?) but so far there's no indication dark souls will be updated so it will continue to work...
Between GFWL being needed, and the game being broken when it shuts down, I've resisted buying it.

I didn't have any trouble running Dark Souls. If Steam starts turning into a bullshit version of Kickstarter on every sale I'm not going to bother with them.

I don't mean I'd quit Steam, I mean I'd stop bothering with "sales" if it's constantly indie garbage.

Ron's comment stands. There is still enough stuff in between the trendy indie, greenlight, early access, blah, wonky 25%, etc that you'll find a gem or two. |

The base Xcom is 75% in today's daily deal. I noticed that if you look closer, Enemy Within is now 50% off as well.

Anyone have any comments on Duels of the Planeswalker Magic 2014?
Back a decade ago I used to enjoy MTG but I haven't played much since. Not looking to get into a super hardcore magic game, just looking for something for some casual fun.

I had to run an errand, meant to buy it, came back and it was $3 more. Was a little pissed. I wanted to play it pretty badly. CAN WAIT TIL NEXT SUMMER. |

Deck building is very minimal. You are basically playing pre-made decks. The game itself plays very well so if the lack of real deck building isn't an issue it's a good game. |

Sounds good to me thanks, not sure I have the patience for full fledge deck building right now anyways. The base Xcom is 75% in today's daily deal. I noticed that if you look closer, Enemy Within is now 50% off as well.
And Amazon has XCom: EW for $9.99 |

I didn't have any trouble running Dark Souls.
I spent another bit this morning and finally got it running. It was just a frustrating install, GFWL is a poor user experience. I'll be interested to see if Dark Souls stops working when MS pulls GFWL, or if the devs will patch it out. |

I agree. I almost bought VVVVVVV for $.49 since... well, it's two quarters. Then I looked at it and knew I'd never play it. |

I enjoyed VVVVV, got a good 3 hours of fun out of it for a couple bucks way back.
I voted for VVVV because I refuse to waste my vote on early access shit.

Got Bioshock Infinite, TWD: 400 Days, and State of Decay. TWD Season 2 did actually go on sale, but a day late and a dollar short for my monthly budgeting plan. Same thing with SpaceBase.

After adding it up I spent more than I meant to spend:
XCom: Enemy Within - $10
Magic 2014 - $5
Wizardry 8 - $2
Tomb raider - $5
Castlevania - $8
Strike Suit Zero Bundle - $10
Guacamelee - $3
So $43 in total.
