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.

Second page, kira ok...

to get the thread going i guess

guys what happen to PES2015 in steam? did i miss anything? cant find it in the store. any idea why?

sudah kena region locked. cannot buy through steam anymore.

easiest is buy retail.

dayumm. what happen to those who purchased it previously?

It is playable and can be activated even if they just put in inventory for ppl who already purchased. They do not revoke.

Buy retail still get steam key. but retail is higher price than previously on steam, too bad.

I should have bought it. Dayummmmm!!!!

So tonight got encore or not?

just played Saints Row IV after buying during the latest sales..



damn funny sial the game.. first time i laugh so much and had such a good time playing a game..

graphics not bad too.. kinda latest.. running it on Medium only and it's max for me already at 1920x1080 resolution. Sure can push even higher with latest GPU.

nice.. highly recommended.. i will sure come back to it and complete it just because of the feel good factor not bored at all in the whole 1 hour of playing..

(game is still on sales on Steam.. gonna be over in 2 hours 40 minutes: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/47804/ )

www.steamgamesales.com
then sort it by discount...

nah as in using my current setup method

im using this atm + SVP
http://haruhichan.com/forum/showthread.php...waii-Codec-Pack

SVP is a software that forces frame interpolation on media players, which force videos to run at 'fake' 60FPS
http://www.svp-team.com/

example of a forced 60FPS video


this one NSFW, so open at own risk

Nice vid tho.

http://animatorexpo.com/mememe/

so steam now have broadcasting, can compete with twitch ?

Steam Broadcast is here
http://steamcommunity.com/updates/broadcasting

need to turn on Steam Beta though
