Is Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising any good? For less than 4 bucks it seems like a pretty good deal.

I put 175 hours into it. Buy the complete if you like the genre. It is simpler than the more hardcore roguelikes like Nethack though.

Anyone know if the Operation Flashpoint series supports an Xbox controller?

Dungeons of Dredmor is absolutely worth it if you're into roguelikes. 180+ hours myself.

Caved and bought KOTOR 1+2. Not that I have any time to invest in them...

I know every game is on sale at least 33% from the looks of it; just want to make sure I'm not missing anything since I usually wait to buy anything that I might would buy at it's "regular" discount to see if it goes on a "special" deal. Thanks.

I'm thinking that the 48 hours will include the rollover time from the deals tomorrow.

Civilization 5: Gods and Kings is 50% off. Think it'll drop to 75%? I've been staring at it since the summer sale, I think.

It's that price currently on Amazon, and it does activate on Steam.

Do the smart thing, check back frequently and see if it goes onto a daily sale or flash sale. Then if not buy it on the last day of the sale.

Or of course, get it on Amazon like the above poster said at 75% off. I don't pay attention enough to know prices elsewhere.

Since there seem to be several new folks around, let me again remind everyone to read the guide in my signature. Above all, remember that being patient gets you lower prices down the road.

Where? It says 14.99 when I look at amazon.

Unless I have Sigs disabled, there's nothing in your signature.

Rule of thumb is to purchase only/mainly during Flash Sales, if I'm correct?

Look at the Mac version. It activates for both, so don't worry about that.

BEST PRACTICE FOR STEAM SALES: Use your wishlist or other services to track your most wanted game prices. ONLY purchase on Daily Deals, Flash Sales.

You may get luckier with a flash sale price over a daily deal, but that's a risk only you can decide.

Save all other purchases until the last day. The last day is usually a repeat of the most popular sales.

Also, there is a Winter Sale only one month away. Not low enough now? It may be in four weeks. Enjoy the games you get and wait for the others.

Oh and use some restraint. I now have 300+ games in my steam library. Yea, I only paid maybe a $5 for bundles of them, but cmon... even now I'm like "WTF?"

FTL, Hotline Miami, Mark of the Ninja, Dishonored are on my watch list, but I doubt any of them get into my "buy" zone.

Lucas Arts adventure pack. I've got my eye on you......

Everything drops... eventually. Just set the price you're willing to pay and dig in. Do not falter! Steel your resolve!

I have limited monies this sale. I'm buying KOTOR2 and one of these today: Critter Crunch, Dead Hungry Diner, or Offspring Fling.

What say you CAG?

Anyone think Chivalry will drop even more by the end of the sale? Had my eye on this one for a while but not sure if I should bite

Critter crunch is definitely the way to go.
