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.

Hi everyone, missed the first few days of the summer sale, just want to know did batman arkham series already flash deal or daily deal.
This is my first time aiming at summer sale. Last year only bodoh bodoh found out about summer sale on the last day, so end up a lot of nice game no more discount.
This year only missed few days, realised about it only yesterday. Damn the email notification thingy on wishlist didnt send any notification. Aiming for FFXIII and Batman Arkham Series. This morning only used up <RM10 for commandos packs and NFS Undercover.
Read from forum seems that FFXIII already up from 30% to 50 %. But remember last year got flash deal upto 70%. But missed it last year.

2nd page!! Yes!

no card drop today...

2nd page! haha,
missed first pg

for me 60 dollars
tonight another 50 more.

Lets brace ourself for this weekend then.

I think now they dun drop card directly, they drop it when reach our midnight.
I dunno they base on what.
Yesterday night they give me 3 cards

i got 3 cards too last night. but dont get any cards playing the stupid game. now tell me got 12 more cards to get from drop.

that one is actually the amount of cards u got from the game. not 'remaining' as it says

Batman Arkham series already featured on daily deals. so just hoping it will come up on encore day.

btw, Final Fantasy series never goes beyond 50% off.

but the few days before this only got like 1 or 2 cards. only yday night 3 cards 1 go..

Final hour remaining for CK2 DLC Collection:
http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/Ag5PN/c...-dlc-collection

Buy CK2 if you don't have the base game. It's been bundled many times before.

Card drops remaining is actually your total cards you've received so far. Not actual drops. Failprogramming.jpg

What's the highest level in the Steam Summer Monster game so far?

Mordheim: City of the Damned
http://store.steampowered.com/app/276810

anyone buying or playing this?
how is it?
got single player already?
worth now?

I see. Thank you very much for the info.
Seems like I can make my decision.

The monster game?

http://steamga.me/

Close to 2 mil.

I wonder how did they cycle through almost 2 mil games in 24 hours?

Does anyone here use the Kwik card from CIMB? Can you use it on Steam?

I do, yes you can.

new badge for monster hunt minigame is awesome

what new badge :0

Wormhole + script + badge points

I joined a room an hours ago along with bunch of script user and we are at level 600k++ already

Once you apply for it online, can you use it instantly or is there a waiting period?

IIRC you can use it instantly online, just need account and ccv number.

Awesome, thank you

Not confirmed yet.

I just received my cimb kwik card today through mail

Oceonhorn looks like one of those top down Zelda game. Gotta wait for 75% first... next sale I guess.

Nothing to buy today. Hope they can keep me uninterested for tomorrow too.

There you go

lyl, some games really had less discount that last sale. Looks like many publisher thought the number of people buying the game won't be much difference even if they give higher discount

Ah Speedrunners 4 pack should be interesting. RM3+ je

i reply wrong post

Planetary Annihilation 85% off.. single player can now save games..
http://store.steampowered.com/app/233250

that day Telltale Collection RM99 for everything..
now GoT Telltale on sale, but Telltale collection rm201 now

is metal gear solid v a good buy now?

this is Ground Zeroes.. which is like a prologue to The Phantom Pain.

buy only if u dont mind the super short content for this... or else skip this and wait for TPP. (read recent reviews to get an idea how short it is - less than 10 hours to finish the game). TPP will take you much more than that..

"You’ve requested a bunch of refunds recently. If you’re unsure about a product, make sure to check out the customer reviews before purchasing."

--- anyone get this message while refund o_o? will it do harm?

lol kena warn.

How many games did you refund already?

no wonder. i was thinking why my terraria hasnt been dropping cards ;3

Off topic: Anyone here using Idle Master to idle card here?

Used that on last sale.
It work last time. Juiced all my game already lol

Can be trusted? Thinking to use the software to farm all my card. Kinda lazy to download and idle.

Its perfectly legit and working on last sale. Cant say now never try.
Just try it doesnt take too much effort.

Hmm I wonder if should get Telltale GoT now or wait for Winter Sale when all episodes have been released..

Also no Eso sale.. Guess there won't be any. mmo may not be bound by summer sale..

Selamat berpuase

i was thinking of getting it too..but The Phantom Pain doesnt include Ground Zeroes right? So, if we wanna know the whole plot should be getting both GZ and TPP?

ok for all school boy cant accept my comment with the witcher ! first im very sorry about witcher II.

Witcher 1

I got say noob graphic and stupid combat system, I cant remember which RPG in year 2007 I got play have much better graphic and got good mechanic with combat system. u can try swing your sword in witcher 1 and Please don't ever expect he wil swing like a man fight with werewolf or any socceres. The master Gerald wil swing his sword like a KID HOLD A STICK to fight a dog. even Dante DMC 3 know how to swing properly haha. This game have so big FILE even in 2007 but honestly is no worth to download even cost u $1 because 10gb for a s hit? oh man ! time is a gold..only idiot do idiot thing.

Witcher 2

This one I really sorry but I got try it today. Good graphic and a lot thing they already repair.

Thanks YOU people for all those really take attention on my comment.

Yay new thread

Just get it

It has very little content. Me as a fan of the series kinda abit dissapointed, but it was nice trying out Naked Snake/Big Boss. The new engine is bloody well optimized. If you're a fan then you're gonna have fun just like me clocking around 24 hours already into the game. Else if you want to know backstory.

Download PPSSPP, and play MGS : Peacewalker to know how it went. Then head on to youtube and watch MGS : GZ. That's what I'd recommend.

CD Projekt was an unknown Indie developer when they made The Witcher 1, so can't really expect AAA quality back then. They didn't even know if The Witcher 1 will even succeed. So we really gotta cut them some slack.

And yes, I was laughing at the horrible animations for The Witcher 1 when I played, the way they hold the sword and swaying their bodies. That was kinda stupid and hilarious.

The Witcher 2 is a huge improvement obviously because of the success of The Witcher 1, which in turn means more funding for them to make a better product, which they did. It had 2 totally different story paths half way through depending on your choices. But the main problem would probably be that it is quite linear (it will only be a problem if you expect RPGs to not be too linear.) The Witcher 2 was probably more of an ARPG.

Then The Witcher 3 totally blows The Witcher 2 out of the water with so many improvements, of course still there were some changes that probably isn't that good, like the fact that your hotkeys are limited to make it work on the gamepad.

SO yeah, just clarifying I guess, because The Witcher 1 really was not an AAA product when compared to The Witcher 3. Damn The Witcher 1's cutscenes were horribly done if you noticed, transition was weird and awkward.

~min~
Wow, thank you for the info, wish to join them to leech
My TM line is down for 6 days and office blocked Steam.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 now Daily Deal at 80% off, buy? Lowest price was last year winter sale 85% off

If it is daily deal, flash deal or monster deal then it would be highest for this sale.
So it's up to you if you want to buy it now or wait again till Winter sale

ok

time to increase my tiny backlog

only thing nice in Witcher 1, collectible nude sexy cards

Dishonored is cool.. I mean.. I loathe fps, like figuratively speaking I would rather kiss a cobra in the back of its head than play fps game.. But Dishonored has its charm.. But why though they have big ass gun strapped on their chest..

this is the story behind witcher dev:

back in witcher 1 era, cdpr was a small unknown studio outside of poland. they didn't have much money, what did you expect?

but witcher 1 was a commercial success, so cdpr got money. Now they can afford to invest in AAA quality stuff. but they were too ambitious, halfway through money ran out, so witcher 2 had a lot of cut content

but then came witcher 3, where the devs had the money and you know the rest of the story

Dayyum..

Is it just me or this time's summer sale's games are more expensive than last year?
Is it due to GST?

Welcome to Gamers Hideout History Channel. Today Topic : The Witcher

Some discounts don't cut as deep as they used to.
Some devs jack up their base price before heading into the sales

Now this is a much more better complaint because have more words that explained what you hate about the game than simply this suck or that suck . Anyway as others had explained the first of the series was an unexpected hit at the time, not many people even knew about it when it was initially release. The third one is bigger than the previous 2 combined together, worth the download, and if you dont like it within the first 2 hour of playing you can refund it .

Too bad i can't play any FPS...makes me dizzy and vomit...even some 3rd person game like Sleeping dogs makes me dizzy (the driving sequence).

Btw, today's deal not interesting again...nothing to buy...cukur. Wait tomorrow.

The humble beginning. lol.

But yeah, different people have different opinion about stuffs. Even games that have 10/10 rating might not appeal to certain people. 1/10 might be enjoyable for others.

Motion sickness eh? I read that chewing ginger helps(not sure about motion sickness while gaming though, should be the same). That's too bad though with the age of virtual reality fast approaching

it's really bad for me...after playing even like 10 minutes, starts to sink in...if i play for 15-30 minutes, sure whole night kepala pusing-pusing and feel vomit and hard to sleep.
