I've been waiting for morrowind to go sub 10 dollars for 2 years. The only reason why so many people want ARMA 2 is for Dayz (myself included) but 16 is pretty ridiculous.

Crap I've been trying to avoid 10$ games, but the Alan Wake franchise was calling my name

No, the flash deals and community choices are mostly past daily deals.

It's selling more than well enough already so really no it doesn't. I realize we all want cheap prices and that's the whole point of this site but I also think we need to look at it from the other point of view sometimes. A sale makes sense for games whose sales have dropped off. Most games peak in the beginning on release then drop off and only spike with a sale. Obviously Arma II is a strange anamoly so as much as we all want cheap prices it really does make sense for them to not ride the popularity wave as long as they can before slashing the price.

TL;DR if you could sell something for a higher price and have it sell really well, would you lower the price? That goes against supply and demand.

If you grab the free games and vouchers and such at Greenman you can potentially end up getting it for a decent price with trade in value + a discount. It's Steamworks so it will activate on Steam anyway.

They are all actually fairly decent but I would put Old World Blues as the best and Dead Money as my least favorite with the other two somewhere in between. That seems to be the general consensus as well.

Well maybe they could announce ahead of time that every flash sale will eventually be a daily (not sure if this is 100% true) and it'd take the sting out of things cause you could choose to just check the store once a day and not deal with these repeats. Those who are into it could still try to grab flash deals instead of waiting to pop up in a daily later in the week.

Anytime I click any item pages, it just reverts me to the top of the store page. This happening to anyone else?

Just be careful with MZ. When I was only a few hours into the game I was abducted. Never got of the ship. Could just be me though.

I take it you do not need the dlc for ARMA 2 to play DayZ..

At least I been buying good games this sale. I would go get some help if I started buying stuff like 18 Wheels of Steel. I decided to grab F3 GOTY.

So my purchases this sale so far are...
Fallout 3
Midevil II Total War
Rome Total War
Thief 1&2
Fortune Summoners
Railworks (the $4 Deluxe Edition)
Stacking
Prince of Persia Sands of Time
Monkey Island: Special Edition
Q.U.B.E.
Sam & Max Complete
Alice Madness Returns
Toy Soldiers
Half Life 1
Legend of Grimrock

So I spent $64.5 and I got all of that. Now with that said though $50 of that did come from my GF repaying me for stuff she owed me like concert tickets among other things so it's not too bad.

80% of the Steam sale seems to be a variation on one of these comments.

1) Rehashed sales are bullshit.
2) I missed the previous 75% off deal for this game. Good thing it went cheap again.
3) The indie bundle isn't available in my country? Motherer! Oh, there it is.
4) Everyone voted wrong.
5) Coconut Queen, bitches!

I'd like to get in a 4-pack as well

Originally Posted by warreni Yes, that's what I paid for it at that time.

Strange, at the time I passed on it without much trouble but this time it's more appealing to me. I think I'll still pass tho cause I've only played 2 chapters of the first game and then got distracted.

C'mon guys we're not even OVER 9000!!!!!! yet .... keep going.

Right there with you.

I bought FO3 when it first game out for the 360 for 40 on ebay. I completed it and bought the GOTY, installed the dlc, and flipped it for a loss of 5 dollars or so. Then I bought the GOTY on steam last Christmas for $7.50 but I still haven't installed it.

I like FO3 but this is verging on insanity.

I thought it was pretty fun to play through, but I really enjoyed the whole game and all the DLC. For this price you really can't go wrong.

You need ARMA II and the standalone expansion pack, ARMA II: Operation Arrowhead. They come in a pack called ARMA II: Combined Operations.

Yep, same here...

Thanks! Going to go ahead and snag up Old World Blues for now.

6) So how is [blank] (even though 8,000 people already answered this question)
7) Which DLC/what version/Should I get the deluxeuberplatinumgameofthemillenium version? (even though 8,000 people already answered this question before)
8) Why isn't Arma II on a better sale. I just want it for the DayZ mod (even though 8,000 people already said this before)
