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.

[quote name='veb']...found this really odd game called Dinner Date ($1.50) with a pretty odd description:

"Julian Luxemburg has prepared a dinner for two at his place – but things go awry when the date does not show up and he is left waiting at his dinner table, the clock’s ticking growing unbearably loud."

I thought I'd ask you guys since you know of games like secrets of the magic crystal, so surely someone here have an extensive review of this.[/QUOTE]
From what I've seen/heard, it's a boring, pretentious, incredibly short game. It's 20 minutes of being the subconscious of a guy stood up for a date and hearing his thoughts.
 
[quote name='sunasun']tomorrow is the last day.[/QUOTE]

Uh huh. That's why I said that you should buy anything that's not on daily/flash/community choice until the last day of the sale... which is tomorrow and ends Monday.
 
So DayZ ... worth it if I have no interest in Arma alone? I know they're planning a standalone game for later this year or early next year, but for those who have played DayZ is it worth the $15 and different enough from anything else out on the market to merit a purchase?
 
Watched Total Biscuit's round-up video for today and he confirmed that the Dawn of war 2 Retribution DLC was all cosmetic, useless stuff. Pulled the trigger on that and Driver San Francisco. Now just hoping for a Bully flash sale as tomorrow is most likely a repeat day.
Edit: And might get Fable 1 for $2.49. Not sure yet.
 
[quote name='Umair56']Hey guys, any of the Arkham City DLC worth picking up? I don't know anything about any of them.[/QUOTE]

If you are into challenge packs then pick up Robin, Nightwing, Challenge. Look at the locations and decide what you are most interested in. Robin and Nightwing are kinda like Catwoman vs Batman in that they move slightly differently but it's largely the same. It's still cool to fight in the Batcave and what not though.

If you are into story get Harley Quinn's. It's basically the PS to BAC and it's a steal for 3 dollars

If you like pretty skins then get Arkham City Skins. That's all it is stuff to make Batman pretty.

Not excited about anything today? You must buy Coconut Queen. That thems the rules.
 
[quote name='Umair56']Hey guys, any of the Arkham City DLC worth picking up? I don't know anything about any of them.[/QUOTE]

Harley Quinn's Revenge.

The others add extra characters that can only be played in challenge maps. The Harley DLC adds extra story and a playable character in that story.

I can't say for sure, as I have yet to play it, but I did buy the game just for this mod. One of the podcasters on PC gamer podcast is always raving on it... he sold me on wanting it
 
So I guess KoA is not going to get a discount at all. The way things are being recycled it looks like it would have come up on a flash or comm vote deal by now if they were planning any type of discount. Guess I will see if I can scrounge up a pc copy from BB and just deal with Origin instead.
 
Good news, everyone! Coconut Queen runs great on my netbook and thanks to dropbox and symlinks my profile syncs between computers. I can now continue my game in the bathroom if I choose to.

I promise you that I am genuinely enjoying the game. No irony. Of course I've voluntarily played casual management games before without broadcasting it to the world or knowing anyone else who played them. It's not for everyone.
 
I don't dislike casual management games. I play them from time to time.

But I like to play them on a phone while I'm doing something else.

When I'm at the computer I want to play something more involved and substantial.

I can experience getting stood up for dinner in real life. Sounds both pretentious and depressing.

Then again, I guess I could experience driving a semi poorly in real life as well, given the proper circumstances...

I know where you're coming from. My desktop has an old laptop next to it for streaming video and my laptop works great on the couch. Every second of my Coconut Queen play has been alongside something else. I really only play phone games when I'm out. I prefer my laptop at home.
 
Never in history have there been more completely flummoxed and frustrated gamers as there will be tomorrow, when they all have finally played Day Z for the first time and find that it isn't what they thought it would be at all.

Can I ask under what circumstances everyone has Jade Empire on their list for the last day? I've played it, beat it, love it, but I'm confused as to if it's just never been on Steam before or just never on sale before?
 
Anyone want to help me out? I have $5 in Amazon Payments that I need to turn into $5 Paypal. I need to buy Civ IV Complete before the sale ends!
 
[quote name='rirath']I must admit, the 8 billion editions, expansions, sequels, sidequels, dlc, and etc for the Dawn of War franchise confuses me greatly.[/QUOTE]

Me too, I think they try to make it look like a great deal (and maybe it is!), but all I see is 3 games:

Dawn of War 1
Dawn of War 2
Dawn of War Retribution.

I'd probably wait for something where I can just pick them up in a solo pack unless the DLC is really that necessary but quickly browsing shows it's skins and units, etc...

I really wish these developers/publishers just come out with 1 final ultimate edition and be done with it.
 
[quote name='Eldredpe']But how stoked is Bohemia Interactive right now?[/QUOTE]

Honestly, I'm surprised it went on deeper sale than it already was. The insurmountable hype for Day Z has kept that one at the top of the sales chart on Steam since Day Z became infamous two months ago; there's no reason for them to discount it at all, really.

The cool thing about Bohemia is that they don't really care if their games are not immediately engaging or interesting to someone who knows nothing about them. Arma 2 is an old game, by game standards, but you can bet your ass you're going to see beta patches for months from now for the literally thousands of people who regularly play 50-player+ 'games'. And now here they are, reaping the best possible benefits of that attitude: sales skyrocketed (no pun intended, for the savvy) years later by a mod made by a single person that makes the game even less "game-like" than it already was.
 
My haul so far:

==Groupee's Bundle Pack Purchase for $5.10==
The Tiny Bang Story
Syberia 2
Dogfighter Comp
Alien Breed: Impact
Stroke of Fate: Operation Valkyrie
Dino D-Day
==

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction - Echelon Edition Collection (pack of all the splinter cell games for $11ish)
Red Orchestra 2 (ROW)
Alan Wake Bundle (Summer 2012 - both games)
Plants vs. Zombies
Fable The Lost Chapters
Thief Bundle 2012 (about $6 total!! - $2 a game)
Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City (finally $5)
Company of Heroes
Stacking (already had psychonauts and I'll wait on costume quest)
Age of Empires III: Complete Collection (3 games here, love it. playing this one now)
Fallout 3 - Game of the Year
Prince of Persia Complete Pack (all the prince of persias for $12ish)
Terraria
Aliens vs Predator (a $2.99 daily not long before the sale)

Only spent about $75. Budget is $100 so I'm happy

Would go with a big pack but they all have a lot of stuff me and friends don't want and some really suck in value anyways. Rockstar's pack is hilarious when that massive GTA 6-game Collection was a daily for $12 O.O! That was the ultimate pack I've seen so far, but a lot of people already got most GTAs.

Yeah, that game sounds like a really hardcore game. I'm sure most people will probably quit after they die for the first time and discover the joys of permadeath. Especially if it comes at the hands of another player backstabbing them.

Yup, The Steam version doesn't have a publisher, so no one to ask for a discount. Best buy would be your best bet, Amazon also has it for $25 as well.
 
Well I finally took the plunge for Evochron Mercenary. I had a friend recommend that to me a few months ago and while it probably has it's flaws, I'm happy to support devs who think outside the box.
 
[quote name='Dalrint']Does the sale end tomorrow at 1 (10...whatever) or will there be another day of sales that end on the 23rd?[/QUOTE]

Notice the timer on the full sale games. 44 hours to go. So it ends Monday at 1, meaning there is another day tomorrow. Probably a best of wrap-up, but possibly not, considering how many times they're repeating things throughout the sale with flash deals and community choice deals. Those might be taking the place of a wrap-up day. That's what I hope at least. Probably isn't the case.
 
[quote name='supershammy']Never in history have there been more completely flummoxed and frustrated gamers as there will be tomorrow, when they all have finally played Day Z for the first time and find that it isn't what they thought it would be at all.[/QUOTE]

Those people should just check out "The War Z" which is supposedly coming out this fall and looks pretty damn good!

No. And all right. If anything, it surely adds a layer of intrigue to anyone's library.

[quote name='hhhdx4']I just want Mass Effect dammit, it hasn't even shown up as a community choice :cry:[/QUOTE]

That was one of the games I really wanted too but realized it just ain't happening. Thanks, Origin.
 
[quote name='hhhdx4']I just want Mass Effect dammit, it hasn't even shown up as a community choice :cry:[/QUOTE]

I'm surprised EA didn't celebrate the steam sale by pulling Mass Effect off steam, frankly.

A sale seems...unlikely.
 
[quote name='veb']That was one of the games I really wanted too but realized it just ain't happening. Thanks, Origin.[/QUOTE]

It's just weird that other big EA names were in this sale multiple times (NFS, Crysis, Alice).

Here's hoping to tomorrow, if not I'll be paging tony for a deal at Amazon :lol:
 
[quote name='Mighty Tor']Dawn of War is tempting, and now that I look at it again and they've dropped the franchise pack down to $30 from $55 or whatever it was, it's become a whole lot more tempting... damnit... when it was over $50 I could easily tell myself to wait until winter, but when I see a -92% sitting next to a price my resolve goes all wobbly... at least I have until tomorrow night to chew it over and see if I can convince myself to avoid it and avoid going over $300 for the sale.[/QUOTE]
Haha, this is my exact same predicament, sitting at $290 spent and wanted to keep it around $300 for this sale.

But the Warhammer DoW franchise pack is very tempting, looks like quite the bargin....ugh, this sale has to end, quick.

So I played the demo for Civ V- two and half hours later I bought the GOTY edition. I don't know how that two and a half hours went by so fast. I enjoyed it, but I don't know what the hell I'm doing (other than pissing off other civilizations).

Lol, I knew that after watching a buddy of mine stream it for two days. He lost viewers and interest.

Sigh, Valve needs to try harder next sale because this one was a total bust for me.
 
[quote name='boneless']I don't think this would apply to most of you because DayZ is your only reason for buying ARMA 2, but Steam pulled the anniversary edition with included all ARMA today.

http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2825955[/QUOTE]


I wouldn't read too much into it. Might have just been internally they weren't able to exclude it from the discount or something so they pulled it since they didn't want to discount it further? Who knows.

[quote name='Terlan']If kingdoms of amalur doesn't go on sale tomorrow might just break down and buy it full price. Would prefer it on the pc and i refuse to use origin.[/QUOTE]

Amazon has it for 24.99 again, yes, I know - Origin, but Origin ain't half bad. I wouldn't hold your breath for a Steam sale either.


I think my only regret so far is possibly Morrowind and Oblivion, but I wouldn't have time to play either so I can wait two more years.

As far as my take on DayZ, I played it a few times, loved it, but my internet is too laggy (or was) at the time for me to revisit it too much. Played a little Arma II and enjoyed it too, so I am happy with my purchase. If people have very unrealistic expectations of it then they will be disappointed, but for a tense survival experience it's pretty great. Servers are still hard to find and a lot of booting for high ping sort of stuff.

I can't wait for that War Z game (unoriginal name) but the gameplay and concept looks great. Still some annoying things I guess (like zombies not being able to climb ladders or open doors - the zombies in NOTLD were able to crash through doors) but still looks like the best of the bunch. Still looking for that perfect zombie apocalypse experience and that looks to be it.
 
To be fair, Mass Effect has always went down the past 2-3 sales, so I wouldn't blame EA for anything. Shame I always passed on ME2 every time because I was waiting for a complete DLC package, but doesn't look like it's ever going to happen. I'll sink into ME2 regardless if it goes 75% or not. Can't wait anymore!
