Welcome to the Steam Deal Thread V4! You can find the V1 thread (Nov 2010-July 2011) here, V2 thread (July 2011 - Feb 2012) here, and V3 thread (Feb-July 2012) here. Read post #2 of this thread for Steam FAQs and more.

This is a Wiki post. Please read this
We appreciate you helping keep this thread up to date. The sales change virtually every day so no one person has the time to update them all. If you notice a game is no longer on sale, feel free to delete its line from the sale list. Of course, if you see a game is on sale, add it to the list. Make sure your changes match the thread's format! For example, every game that's on sale is part of an unordered list. When adding a game to the list, copy an existing line and update the link, title, and prices. That way, the format stays correct. Do not list percentages off! We list the original price and the sale price here. If you have any suggestions for major changes to the post/thread, PM me (EastX) about them.
for instructions on updating the thread.

Preorder Deals - Updated 8/9
Group Buys - Updated 8/14

Several multiplayer Steam games are available in 2-packs or 4-packs. These packs offer a discount over buying multiple copies of a game separately. We also maintain group buy trade threads for several games, so please use those threads if you're interested in setting up a group buy.

Free Stuff - Updated 4/3

There are several free games and mods on Steam. These are a few choice ones; you can find a full list here. Note that free games are not permanently attached to your Steam account like actual purchases would be. You'll need to manually download a game again from the website if you uninstall it.

Steam around CAG

If you are interested in joining the Steam CAG Community or participating in a trade or group buy with fellow Cheap Ass Gamers, please do so in the dedicated threads and not in the deal discussion thread. In the dedicated threads you will find CAGers with the same specialized interest who will be much quicker (and happier) to respond than in the Deals thread.

Steam Retail Key List

What is a CD key and where can I find it?

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7480-WUSF-3601

The CD Key is a serial number with a combination of 13, 18, or 25 letters and numbers - it can be found on a sticker inside your game's case or printed on the game's quick reference card.
The CD Key acts as your proof of purchase for the game - Steam Support may ask for it if you need to establish your ownership of an account. It is recommended that you keep your CD Key in a safe place to ensure the security of your account.

To get that achievement you have to add a friend to your list (invite them) and then gift them a copy of Coconut Queen.
 
So I've got the standard version of Fallout New Vegas, and it would be cheaper for me to get the Ultimate Edition (which comes with all the DLC) than all the DLC separately. If I bought the Ultimate Edition, what would happen to my current copy of New Vegas? Would I have a duplicate, or would it overwrite it or what? I don't really care if I lose my saves too much because all I've really done in the PC version is mess around- I got the Ultimate Edition as a gift for my PS3 and played the crap out of that one instead (mods and cheats are too fun/tempting on the PC version XD).

Buy it as a gift to send later and then claim it in your inventory. It should add the missing DLC for you! ;)

Ive heard this mentioned as a work around, does it actually work? Does Steam differentiate between purchases and redeeming gifts? I just wonder if they don't allow you to purchase the ultimate edition since you own the base, would they allow you to redeem it as a gift?

Also, I'm happy to report my Trains vs. Zombies giveaway has hit the 30 entry mark, shattering all expectations. (The End, I'm looking at you).

I personally found the rubber-banding, AI, and difficulty spikes so awful that the enjoyment I had was greatly diminished. The beginning's fine, but the back 1/3rd is where these problems become most apparent. I finished Mile High Club in COD4 on Veteran with less desire to break a controller than playing through a few sequences of The Run on normal. :lol:
 
[quote name='Sifilus']I would say NV is the superior game, but there is just some magic about FO3...

Thanks! Follow Up: I'm ready to commit $10, should I go for Fallout 3: GOTY + New Vegas Standard OR just New Vegas Ultimate, skip FO3?
 
fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk I missed F.E.A.R. Collection as a quick deal? If anyone would be kind enough to sell me it a copy, please shoot me a PM

[/QUOTE]
I believe I did this a couple years ago, so they might have changed it since then. I know you can purchase as a gift and store in your inventory. Personally, I would just test it.If you are unable to claim the code yourself - it will be extremely easy to get rid of Fallout NV in the trade forums. Just my thoughts. Hopefully someone can chime in that has done this recently.
 
I don't see any recommendations for Nexuiz, but I just want to say that I didn't enjoy it at all. It's highly inferior to both the Quake and Unreal franchises and is not worth $2.49. Zero story or dialogue, unnamed power-ups and unbalanced weapons, stilted online play and shitty level designs. I didn't play it long enough to notice if there's a way to create your own skins, maps, or weapons, and this is coming from someone who mildly enjoyed Duke Nukem Forever on both 360 and PC.

If UT2K4 was the FPS arena equivalent of getting a beej from Mary Elizabeth Winstead with the help of Mila Kunis, Nexuiz would be the equivalent of getting a footjob by Dustin Hoffman's Hook. It gets the job done...but oh god is it painful.
 
[quote name='lolwut?']fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk I missed F.E.A.R. Collection as a quick deal? If anyone would be kind enough to sell me it a copy, please shoot me a PM[/QUOTE]

If it wasn't a daily then just wait for it to be. It'll probably pop up again.
 
[quote name='thahamburglir']Thanks! Follow Up: I'm ready to commit $10, should I go for Fallout 3: GOTY + New Vegas Standard OR just New Vegas Ultimate, skip FO3?[/QUOTE]

I personally preferred New Vegas to Fallout 3. The story and atmosphere felt a lot better, the world seemed more alive, and there is a faction system and a more realistic, grey karma system. It has a more authentic Fallout feel if you've played previous games (though the faction system and reworked Karma systems are new). It also has a hardcore mode that makes the game a lot more realistic (and harder) than Fallout 3. The only bad thing is some of the bugs (but others are hilarious, like the head spinning npc bug).

Fallout 3 has a much bigger world though, and it's more explorable because it has an enemy level scaling system- though that means that you can go places you probably shouldn't be able to early on in the game. Fallout 3 also has more items and weapons.

I'd probably go for F3 GOTY and F:NV- or you could just get F3 GOTY and wait on FN:V UE to go on sale again. It's almost guaranteed to be on sale during the holiday sale- you'd save money in the long run (assuming it hit the same price).
 
Interested in getting The Longest Journey before the daily flash deal expires in the next hour or so....my biggest concern is whether it can be played @ 2560x1600 my dell monitors native res.

Any info is highly appreciated. Thanks.
 
So I heard a rumor that at the end of the sale, Steam/Valve will have a major announcement. Anyone else heard of this? I know rumors can go pretty far from the truth.

Please no. I already have enough to torment myself over with the Shenmue franchise. Just no...enjoy the sale, haha!
 
Kind of considered Nexuiz, just because it's an arena shooter that looked cool, but with it's poor reviews and nobody seeming to like it much, I think I'll just play Deathmatch Classic to satisfy that itch.
 
I see that sniper v2 is $15 on amazon today and activates in steam. Is that a good deal, or is it likely to go lower than that anytime soon?

[quote name='lolwut?']I've been looking in the thread already; no luck so far.

It should. I mean it's only shown up a flash deal. Flash deals at the beginning of the sale have just proved to being allusions, tangible ones though, of course.

They ran out of keys last night. The last message posted was that they might come back with some more. Blame all the people who sucked up all the keys and kept putting them up on SteamGifts.com. That was insane.
 
Son of a... did anyone else buy Fable 3? It turns out many people including me aren't able to activate the game because Securom doesn't have the keys in their database. I've been sitting here all day waiting for it to finish downloading. I'm so mad. We're the paying customers, meanwhile pirates can play with no problems. Sometimes I wonder why I put up with this crap.

Isn't there special instructions on the steam page for how to activate that game?

You have to take, like, the steam key and run it through xbox.com to get a new key or something along those lines?
 
Eye still has my eye on it, though I know nothing about it. My biggest concern always comes down to indie bundles. If odds are good it'll be in one soon, why buy now.

That happened to me yesterday when it was still live. I actually won something on the seal game and entered my email then the site crashed and came back and the seal was dead. Never got my prize for that one. Ended up with both shadowgrounds though so I was happy.

If you plan on playing it any time soon that is the best price you'll find.

I bought Fable 3 last night. Haven't started downloading it yet though. Guess I'll wait a bit longer... So they ran out of keys? Or do the keys just not work?

The only game I've ever had not work on Steam because they ran out of keys was Shank from one of the Humble Indie Bundles- it was weeks before they finally got more in... Still have yet to play that :lol:
 
Did the math today and from sales on Amazon, BB, GMG, and Steam I have peaked at 159.21 as my total for my first Steam sale ever. Games bought

Spec-Ops: The Line (Amazon)
KoA Reckoning (BB)
Metro 2033 (GMG)
Left 4 Dead Bundle
E.Y.E.: Divine Cybermancy
Sanctum
Dead Space 2
Dead Space
Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition
Grand Theft Auto Complete Pack
Thief: Deadly Shadows

Terraria
Fallout 3 - Game of the Year
Fallout New Vegas Ultimate
Trine 2

Microsoft support gave a lot of people the runaround but one guy got an explanation that sounds legit, somehow Securom doesn't have the latest keys, which come from MS and are then sold on Steam. MS verified that the guy's key was valid, but Securom doesn't have it in their database. I didn't even think twice about this game having Securom because the Big DRM List says that the 5 activations reset every month. This is the first time I've been unable to activate a Securom game, fuuuuu-

That guy was told they would try to have it resolved by the end of the day. Meanwhile other people were told all different things. Someone was told it was Steam's fault. Another person was told they would get a new key in 3-5 days. I filed a complaint with Securom and provided my key and some screenshots, hopefully MS resolves it soon and I don't have to wait for support to deal with my case. Uggh!

[quote name='sotc1988']All will be well.[/QUOTE]

I bought TLJ bundle a little while ago myself. The original game, TLJ, only runs at 640x480 res. There is a tweak to run it in windowed mode, but that's about it. Backgrounds are hand-drawn and pre-rendered, so it still looks good. Just remember this game was released in 1999/2000.

Really wish Funcom could lay off the MMO sauce and simply add modern high res support to this game already.
