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.

Hopefully steam does one of their price drops for the C&C bundle considering the pack is more expensive than the indviduals right now by a whole 3 cents.
 
How's Evochron Mercenary compared to Freelancer? From the video, it looks more like Descent's movement, but similar to Freelancer.

And on Coconut Queens... don't stone me. It's ok. I played it for about 2 hours so far, and plan on finishing, but it's not much different than Build-a-Lot, which I played 1-3 in like a weekend. If I hadn't played Build-a-Lot, I'd probably like Coconut Queens more.
 
[quote name='CapnO']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).[/QUOTE]

Just one more turn... Just one more turn... Just one more turn... ;)
 
I had been waiting for Command and Conquer, but I was hoping they'd make the bundle closer to $20. Since you don't save anything by buying the bundle compared to individual games, are all the games worth having? I've never played any C&C games before, but I like RTS - Age of Empires is one of my favorite series.

300 turns later.......

Just one more turn.........Spain has been conqured...........Just 3 more to to go......
 
On the look out for addictive turn based, space, or sandbox games.
Civ 3,4,5
X3 (Gonna try learn this in earnest before next sale)
AI
Endless Space
Mount and Blade
DayZ
Space Empires 4/5?
Universe Sandbox looked cool.
Other recommends? Looking for good addictions before sale ends. RPG, Strategy, Simulation, Hybrid RPG. Older gems.
Gonna pick up Divine Divinity, Bard's Tale, Star Ruler?, Sacred Gold?,
I wanted Titan Quest to go deep, but never did. :\
 
[quote name='sleeping_lights_on']Does anyone know of a hidden gems thread/list.
NeoGaf had a great one last sale or last summer.
This one: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=436731[/QUOTE]

My problem with some of those types of lists is that it ends up being just a Games Under $5 list sorted in ascending order by price. Everyone so desperately wants to add one someone else didn't that the whole thing gets watered down fast. Not to mention opinions and such.

I can go to Deals 4 Download or Steamsales and search by percent off or price. What's really needed are reasons why the suggested title is a hidden gem. And "because it's cheap" should be a given and not a reason.

The NeoGAF thread is nicely formatted but it offers little that I couldn't get from Steam itself. I mean, Garshasp? Burn Zombie Burn?

[quote name='garrett007']Serious Sam 3 worth $10? I have a feeling it can go lower[/QUOTE]

It is but it could.

Sins of a solar empire I've been told is good (haven't played it yet)

I'm hooked on Galactic Civ 2 right now (that was an awesome suggestion by someone earlier in the thread)
 
Serious Sam 3 will definitely be available cheaper sometime down the line. And, remember, it's Steamworks and Amazon carries it.

The best game in the series I think are Red Alert 3, and then if your ok with older games Generals and then also Red Alert 2.

I havn't played Command and Conquer 3 yet but enough people seemed to like I picked it up when it was on the weekend sale.

But you can't go wrong with Red Alert 3.
 
[quote name='SmileyMcSmiles']No kidding, huh?

Same, I loved OF back in the day and bought the pack without ever hearing about DayZ. Started by playing the original Operation Flashpoint (Cold War Assault) again. Brought back so many good memories. Then ARMA I and II really showed how much the series grows with each installment (ARMA III looks sick!).

But DayZ is so much fun! Not just the zombies, but the human interaction as well. :D And word of it is spreading like wildfire. Apparently the team behind the mod are actual developers at Bohemia...which is rare within the industry. So yeah...this mod is responsible for the high demand and the lack of deep discounts.

One of my favorite DayZ Twitter quotes: "Each second in DayZ... 35 zombies die, one player gets murdered, and 600km is walked by players. Every 3 seconds, a brand new player starts!"[/QUOTE]

I bought the pack because I heard the developers were the Original Operation Flashpoint guys and I sort of liked the newer ones by that other company. Checked out some videos and purchased without a second thought. Lol

Honestly, I don't really give a shit about DayZ. I watched a few streams once or twice and it had maybe 20 minutes (maximum) of gameplay I would enjoy for every hour of play. Not my thing at all and my backlog is way too big to spend time on this.
 
that arma II sale was a lot shittier than I thought It was going to be. I was hoping for at least 50% (In reality I wanted 75 off, I mean come on lots of games newer than arma went on sale for 75 off, but derp derp derp dayz to popular to give a good sale) but oh well.
 
Hey guys.

I'm a day or so behind on the thread, so forgive if this has already been asked, but is anyone else having a problem adding games from Inventory to your own account?
 
Everyone vote for AOEIII, because my GF didn't tell me she wanted that one until after it had gone off the first 9.99 sale~! Damn her! thanks in advance.
 
Evochron might get me today, looks like something I might like. Possibly also quantum conundrum.

About an hour left on this here bunch of Sam:

No firsthand experience, but the advice I've seen offered for this problem is to repeatedly try adding it until it works.

[quote name='Jon7']It was working for the first hour or two of the sale, then they changed the coupon to not stack.[/QUOTE]

I guess I tried it too late. Ugh.
 
Well bummer, doesn't look like there are going to be any price corrections to bring the C&C bundle below the individual price. Was hoping they'd at least drop it down to $25 or preferably $20 to make the bundle slightly more attractive.
 
[quote name='atreyuevr']There's really nobody who bought the current Indie Gala Bundle? =[[/QUOTE]
Nah, cause it's all mobile and stuff. Does it work with iPhone?
 
Anyone think collecting the Arma2 CO + DLC via Steam when I already have Arma2 CO is rather pointless? I'm kinda thinking it might be worth it, but then, Arma 3 is coming out at the end of the year. :/ The horrors of a CAG...
 
I have been waiting a month to finally get ARMA on the steam sale. But I'm not gonna buy it now. They made the mistake of waiting til the end of the sale and not putting it on sale as much as everything else. I have already bought about 15 games and the discount is only 40%. I'm just gonna play what I have and wait a couple months.
 
So, some of the complaints I've seen about Fable III is how combat is ridiculous unbalanced. I've picked up Lost Chapters instead and am wondering: is there anything I should know about this one? Magic overpowered? Melee impossible?
 
Bought Fable TLC during the sale and just finished it, really liked it and that's coming from a sports gamer. Anymore games like it to buy on steam? I'll try the Fable 2 next, but are there any other PC games like Fable? I want to buy a few more before the sale is over.

What version of Arma II do you own? Physical retail or digital on another service? I think that's a big factor I guess if you are worried about ever losing the discs. Also, do you have the DLC? If not how much would the DLC cost to be purchased alone? And what other sites sell the DLC and how likely is it to go on sale?

I'm usually not the one to double dip and if you already have you might want to wait for the DayZ hype to die down. Once Arma III comes out and DayZ dies down it might drop to 20 bucks MSRP and 75% off.

It's a very calculated move. Wait until the end, get as many sales at the lower discount for those without will power to wait, and then scrape up the rest with a bigger sale at the end. They got more money this way and I think most people who were wanting Arma II still bought. A few on the fence might have blown through their budget, but that money was still spent on steam.
 
Anyone know what where to get decent Command and Conquer mods, a quick google search yielded little. There was a mod that I saw a while ago, can't remember the name or what it was. Just know that it was pretty cool, which doesn't help..
 
I have zero interest in Arma II or the Day Z mod but, after hearing people complain so long for a sale, I almost half feel like I should get it just because it's "finally" on sale. I won't though.

Rockin' the chance for the Gents & Queens to explore a post-apocalyptic subway and try to stare down a giant mutant gorilla.

Don't have an Android, we have ATT here and I'm not paying 35 dollars for 300 megabytes/month and whatever overage crap they wanna charge. Hopefully the next bundle is for pc games.

I voted for Kings Bounty, but just so you know, there's a guy over on the Steam trade thread who has copies of AoEIII for sale. Better yet, his asking price is only $8. He's able to do that because he has a friend in another region of the world where prices are lower and he has the guy buy the games for him. Then he resells them here at a discount. I've bought a couple of things from him before, so i can definitely say he's legit.

His name is JakeNome and here is the link to the trading thread http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=279563

I believe JakeNome's most recent post is on page 430.

Edit: nevermind I guess. lol Looks like AoEIII won in a landslide.
 
[quote name='Commander0Zero']Anybody recommend Blacklight Retribution? The starter pack is 50% off. Would it be worthy Change of pace to BF3. Is the starter pack a good value?[/QUOTE]

Per my Steam recommendation:
[quote name='Myself']This is a good game with a couple of major flaws. For one, you have to rely primarily on "renting" equipment and weapons to do well in matches, that and it takes quite a while to buy something permanently. Secondly, the game suffers from its Free -to-play status in that there is always about 10 people in the main lobby who are spamming the shit out of chat and people who pay enough are quite overpowered.

One thing that the game does right is that it gives you legit wallhacks (press a button, and see where everyone is; however you can't shoot in this view). This somewhat eliminates camping and flanking, but being that it's something that can only be used so much (needs to recharge), it doesn't make it too overpowered. It's a game that's easy to learn, but difficult to master. I recommend the game to any FPS-lover. It's a great game, but it does have its flaws and takes some getting used to.[/QUOTE]

Also, the starter pack is not a good value to me personally, but others may have differing opinions. I'd say don't go with it (coming from a guys who played the game for 16 hours total in the first 3 days he had it).
 
Wow, voted King's Bounty with what seemed like everyone else and that wasn't even close... Looks like another AOE III sale, running out of community picks, hope some unique choices come up.
 
Is Fear 3 worth it? I beat Fear 1 and it was alright, nothing too crazy - just a one timer in my opinion. If 3 is better I might bite. The spooky parts could just be better. :booty:
