Tips to Survive Major Steam Sales

Rule #1:
From now until the LAST DAY of the sale, if a game is on sale as a daily deal or flash deal, you can buy it. If it is only "on sale" through the entire sale, pass. Do not buy. Save your money (you may need it).

Rule #2:
Check each day for the daily deals, and monitor flash deals. As games come up that you want, you can get them. Just continue to exercise self control for games that are not a daily/flash deal.

Rule #3:
You can purchase the large packs, such as the THQ pack or Square-Enix/Eidos pack at any time if you wish. It is extremely unlikely that those bundles will be discounted any further, even though individual games in those packs may become daily deals. If you want a bundle, go for it. Lots of games, excellent price.

Rule #4:
On the LAST DAY of the sale, Steam traditionally makes its daily deals an encore of the most popular daily deals from the previous days. Go nuts. Buy everything you wanted. Other games are almost never on the daily deals during the last day, at this point, it is safe to buy anything else you've been waiting on.

Whoopsies I f***ed up a 4 pack buying thingy and didn't notice. I should have done it with a cheaper game lol. Anyone want Final Fantasy XIII for cheap? Letting go at RM35 only. Current price is RM45.90 on the Steam Store. I'd rather spend more to get the English version since I hate Japanese voices.

Edit: Wait. GMG's version is also the ASIA one? Kenot get ROW ah?

yup, but it's not asia, it's sea
fyi, some1 mentioned that if you're not in sea, you cant run the game if it's sea version, need more clarification on this

watch the gameplay first before deciding, if you like it then buy it, if you dont like it then buy it to support lord gaben

btw, one of my friends from jp told me that jpn eco isnt very good lately, so squeenix is probably trying to earn as much as possible, meaning that the other titles along the latest one might be.....

Gooding ke ini game?

I like the new Steam store page. Now I can tell what games I owned and the corresponding user ratings from the list itself.

Thanks. Snagged it at $4.33, using my GMG credit.

when will be next steam major sales?

looking for good price to grab USF4 upgrade and MGR..

I've got a buyer lined up at the moment but I'll let you know if he backs out

You are welcome, may I know how you used the voucher & GMG credit together?
As I could not do that

For more info, please refer to memphiz_zero88
as I think he just finished the game

Finished the game last week. Good game. Nice story and combat mechanics. Switching pressens to suit your combat needs, pre-determined customisable combo moves. The dlc add moves from SF.

Game is very linear. Not much exploration except for collectibles.

Memory remix is the best part. Inception lol.

I also want to know how to do that.

However, I think it depends on the individual game on whether GMG allows both voucher and credit to be used at the same time.

I only use the app for quick browsing and remote installation. Very handy.

Protip: turn off the "notify me if game on wishlist on sale". Annoying feature.

Just wondering....those u guys have huge games library, whats ur hdd of choice? Reliable one. Wd green? Blue?

DO.NOT.EVER.CONSIDER.GREEN.WD

And seagate

Seagate 3TB and it bombed.

Sticking with Western Digital Red now. Slower but more reliable so far.

I only can comment on Seagate, 7 months and it was gone!


Edit: 2.5 inch version

This post has been edited by XloveE: Sep 24 2014, 08:52 AM

Black,Blue or Red

never go for green

Blue or Black

Maybe he never apply the voucher but instead used his GMG credit to knock off till 4.xx

Maybe you are right.

Can't tell anyways.

but most shop i seen only have 1tb blue not more... i thought they extinct or something so in the end i bought one seagate. at least been 2years now and no problem so see if it can go year 3 smoothly

Mine mostly slightly more than 2 years go bye bye, must dig out the receipts. Suggest you back up, internally or externally.

I had my Western Digital Green for more than 4 years. Still going strong :/

limjenson is correct, i had $1.66 credit, so the price came down to $4.33.

Thanks for clarification.

Wanna survey, which controller do you guy use for gaming and how much did you get it for?

Wired xbox360 controller, bought it for RM120 if I'm not mistaken.

wireless xbox360 controller, RM120 from Garage Sales. been using it for more than a year already

2x Xbox wired controllers (because I hate having to change batteries) mainly for platformers and third person action games (particularly for melee), sport games where necessary but I haven't bought any for a long time (less than RM100 each)

2x Qanba 4 arcade sticks, mainly for fighting games such as Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat and KOF (awesome that these games are finally on PC) and other arcade games (ie. beat them ups like Dungeons and Dragons series from Capcom). Just for fun Metal Slug series which is now on Steam.
(almost RM500 each)

XBOX 360 controller for PC ftw. this worth the RM120. been using for 3 years now and abuse by me like hell and still working fine.
used logitech F310 previously and analog KO within 3 mths....

Qanba Q4 for Arcade FIGHTING FTW!!
Logitech Momo for Vroom Vroom!!!

No controller for me. But plan to get one. But i think only suitable for fighting/action games?

Football/basketball, platformer, Brothers, emulator games, etc.

*Using PS3 controller for now, working well enough that I changed my mind bout buying a wired 360 controller.

Using MotionInJoy?

Im in there? sorry selow..

Logitech F510 for naruto, nba and other games lu.. dont like wireless cause gotta use battery..

This post has been edited by omgimahero: Sep 24 2014, 11:27 AM

Mine was a wired Logitech controller.
My brother borrowed it since I don't play games that uses controller often.

1 360 wireless, cant rmb the price, shld be around 150
1 ps3 with bluetooth around 175 total
2 oem ( el cheapo ) analogue for the special extra button

change controller whichever is more comfortable for the particular game

logitech F710
still running strong after 3 years of usage...

cant really remember the price...
i think somewhere around RM130...

thanks for all replies about hdd.. i think 1tb blue is the best to get. black too expensive

this... im using blue 500gb. 4 years d and still going strong

im using blue too.. running two 500gb... c for software. D for games & movie. almost full .. lol

for everyday usage and random stuff, blue is cheap and good enough
but if you're using to store important data and watever black is better, or even better : ssd

for important data, i rather RAID two 500gb blue.. like those old pictures, memories..document..

games are not important, relatively.

that's why i raid a lot

Do you have any BSOD problem after installing MotionInJoy driver (assuming you're using that)? Been experiencing these random rare BSOD after installing MotionInJoy. It ran away for awhile after recreating my pagefile but it came back recently.

As for HDD, my WD Blue 1TB died after 6 month of usage. Bought a Seagate and still going strong after 2 years... fingers cross.

Also, I had a lot of issues with my 2x Western Digital Black 2TB.

RMA more than 4 times within 3 years or something. To the point that the warranty expired, if not mistaken.

Using blue 1tb now. I think i bought it in 2012/2013. Till now ok.

Used to have this many years back.

Difficult to setup and disassemble after using it.

I used XBOX360 controller back then, but switched to PS3 controller few months ago.
Instead of MotionInJoy, I am using ScarletDS3 driver which is opensource, and so far everything is fine, gives similar experience with my XBOX360 controller.

when i first using XBOX 360 controller, i have a difficulty memorize X, Y A, B LT, LB, RT, RB
now XYAB no problem edi, but still confuse with LB, LT and RB, RT, becoz B=Bottom, but they put at top, meanwhile T=Top, but they put at bottom

This post has been edited by melvintcs: Sep 24 2014, 01:13 PM

Yea Scarlet's DS3 driver is the way to go, works flawlessly

the thread has become a hdd and controller thread

ask anyone with pc xbox360 controller got the slow turn issue?


and is there any old school still remember this? http://store.steampowered.com/app/315670/?snr=1_4_4__123
its coming to steam

you guys making me want to buy new DS4 controller

DS4 can play on PC?

T=trigger
B=bumper

'slow turn issue', for action/RPG games, this is kinda annoying, even though i prefer mouse/keyboard, but controller is more shiok, plus you can seat further from the desk.
for FPS, no choice, can't survive with controller, i need keyboard/mouse, mouse is more faster and aiming is more accurate.

prev i bought Razer Onza, last me for 3-4 games only. i rarely play game and it spoiled not long after its warranty expired
after that i bought XBOX360 controller, been using for almost 2 years now, and it still works fine
