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.

Voted for Ys, and now I'm sort of curious about the game.

[quote name='Wolfmight']Some people like a wild crazy set of customization and action of an RPG, others want a simple fun straightforward TellTale puzzle solver/adventure game. [/QUOTE]

I think there's also a big nostalgia factor. Most of the Telltale titles are from established and usually old franchises, so the old school straightforward point and click style mechanism actually compliments that and works in their favor.
 
Aw, c'mon, Kotor again? There are other good Star Wars games worth putting on sale, Steam. I guess I'll vote for Ys since everyone seems to be asking for it.
 
Voted Ys as I missed the flash deal. Also wanted to say thanks to whoever mentioned that Fable TLC was also on sale, thought it was just Fable 3.
 
[quote name='Sophita']Maybe this is me being blonde but what is a INTJ? and so is it like The Path, where you just experience a story and interact with the world or?[/QUOTE]

This is what I found on UrbanDictionary.
"Personality type from Myers Briggs. Otherwise known as the Mastermind. INTJ's are emotionless juggernauts that have no respect for you and don't care if you don't like them.

INTJ's include God, Dr. Gregory House, Michelle Obama, James Bond, and Einstein."
Voted Ys.

Also, I can't decide if I want to buy Dear Esther. I would probably like it, but I am just not sure.
 
[quote name='Sophita']Maybe this is me being blonde but what is a INTJ? and so is it like The Path, where you just experience a story and interact with the world or?[/QUOTE]
stands for = ' introversion, intuition, thinking, judgment ' type personality. It's theorized to make up only 1-4% of the world population's personality types, so it's a bit rare.

Yeah you basically follow a path and gaze as the breathtaking visuals and clues as to what happened to the character you play. He speaks as you continue making progress on the path. You even come across some ghosts or something a couple of times as well, but not up close as far as I know (maybe you can see them closer). The path is not always too obvious though and I believe the creators claim the experience of each gamerun is unique (whatever they mean by that).
 
I know this isn't the trading forum, but if anyone can swap my $5 Amazon Payments for their $5 Paypal, it would help me buy one last game from the Steam sale. So far I've spent under $10. That isn't enough!

Ah kay that makes sense I guess. Didn't know they tried to measure personality types then again I was more into filthy sociology and not psychology.

Ya may pass then if it is true all you do is walk on a path and listen to someone speak(what some reviews have said). But could see where the "movie" part comes from now and the appeal of that.
 
[quote name='streakermaximus']Voting KOTOR, maybe it'll hit other SW games as well.[/QUOTE]

I really doubt it will, since no other Star Wars games were discounted the last two times KOTOR was a flash deal. But I voted KOTOR also, just in case;)
 
[quote name='The End']Has anybody played Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures?

Since I have few things that I was looking to get in this sale that haven't showed up yet (unless tomorrow proves to be the most awesome sale day ever), it looks like I might have a little extra money left. So I'm looking for things that might be of interest. I love the Wallace & Gromit animated shorts, so I'm probably likely to cut the game a little bit of slack if it's not top notch. But there's only so much slack that I'd be willing to cut the game if it isn't any good.

So, has anybody played it? Opinions?[/QUOTE]
I enjoyed Wallace & Gromit myself, but then again I'm enjoying Coconut Queen so not sure how good my taste in games is. lol

Why? You only need 2.49 for Coconut Queen.
 
[quote name='Dark Rider']Also, I can't decide if I want to buy Dear Esther. I would probably like it, but I am just not sure.[/QUOTE]

DO NOT BUY IT, I'm serious just don't..... Dear Esther is an anti-game, all you do is walk along the enviroment while a narrator reads you pretentious crap from time to time, you can't interact with anything, there is no enemies or bosses and it takes about 90 minutes to finish the 'game'
 
Please vote for Ys, everyone! I'm not sure if I'll be getting it, but everyone should have the opportunity to get in on the awesome series that Ys is!

On a side note, how likely is it that Demigod will go on sale? It was a choice in the community vote, but it lost. I'm really interested in it, especially because it's not on console.
 
[quote name='sunasun']

I need it for Civ IV! I'm already tempted by Coconut Queen, don't make it worse.
 
Ys Origin was this released another system or is this a brand new entry? I have no clue if I ever played it before, I voted for it anyways.

Why the hell is Binding of Isaac so fucking addicting (I played literally for 5 hours straight without realising it)
 
[quote name='Ralph444']I am buying Red Alert 3 and expansion.

Someone stop me XD[/QUOTE]

Haven't played much of the expansion. But played the Soviet campaign in Red Alert 3 it is enjoyable not at the greatness that was Red Alert 2 but still very fun.

So consensus is RA3 + exp are the two to get? I haven't played c&c since red alert 1, but it looks like C&C 4 got terrible reviews.
 
[quote name='Poor2More']Ys Origin was this released another system or is this a brand new entry? I have no clue if I ever played it before, I voted for it anyways.[/QUOTE]

It's the Ys game where you don't play as Adol. The prequel to Ys 1 & 2. I want to say that this is only on the PC, but honestly I can't remember and my searches aren't turning up anything related to the PSP, the only other platform it would have been released on here.
 
Also, what exactly is included with Age of Empires III: Complete Collection? The description is really vague, says it includes "three epic Age of Empires III games" but doesn't say which ones.
 
has anyone been able to link their youtube account with their steam account to get the share a video achievement? I'm getting an error whenever I try it and its the last one I need for the badge. Anybody know a fix?
 
[quote name='Mr. Sax Appeal']Alright, I bought all Command and Conquers except 4, at least for now. Is it really that bad?[/QUOTE]

You probably made the right decision. I have not played 4 yet but I have only heard bad things from my friends who love the series. I loved all the game leading up to C&C4 so yeah, you should enjoy them if you like RTS.
 
4 is.... an abomination.....

It strays so far from what the C&C series has done well.
I don't understand why the game was even made. And it's got this weird "online only" thing.

Have you played the RA2, and the older games?

Ys Origin is PC exclusive. The Oath in Felghana, on the other hand, was initially released on PSP then given a few enhancements and ported to the PC.

I keep trying to play The Binding of Isaac but I'm so horrible at this game, I keep dying after only 10 minutes of playing. :cry: There are no save points in that game, right?
 
I should mention. C&C 3 is a really great game as well. Different style, but very polished.
The expansion is meh, but still worth it 75% off if you like single player campaign.

4 is honestly.... just no.....
It's not a real C&C game.
 
Red Alert 2. No contest lol.

It's serious and silly, but without losing it's identity.
Great, polished RTS.

Made by the formerly awesome Westwood.
 
[quote name='Lord_Zath']I had red alert 3 on my xbox. RTS on console sucks!

might pick it up for pc...

which of the C&C games would you guys consider to be the best?[/QUOTE]

I don't know if it is just me but I Loved Kane's Wrath.

I've never played any C&C games before, am I missing out by starting here?

[quote name='kwonster']Also, what exactly is included with Age of Empires III: Complete Collection? The description is really vague, says it includes "three epic Age of Empires III games" but doesn't say which ones.[/QUOTE]

It comes with Age of Empires III and its two expansions: The Warchiefs and the Asian Dynasties.
 
Red Alert 2 is by far the best of the series in my opinion (Yuri's Revenge is also great). Great mix of what made the original great with updated graphics that still look good even today.
 
[quote name='Mr. Sax Appeal']I've never played any C&C games before, am I missing out by starting here?


No, there's plenty of cheesy FMV to bring you up to speed storywise.
 
Mr Sax,

I would honestly suggest going back and at least trying the original C&C and Red Alert. They are both freeware now if I remember correctly. Or you could grab the C&C Collection.

You don't REALLY miss that much. There is a story from C&C Tiberian Dawn, Tiberian Sun, Tiberium Wars. But it's not like you wouldn't understand it.

As for the Red Alert Series:
RA1 is serious, and doesn't really have a big connection with RA2. RA2 ups the humor and personality, but is still kinda serious. RA3 just takes everything overboard and goes crazy.

To summarize,

Tiberian Universe has a decent story. You'd want to start with the original if possible.
Red Alert, not so much. It is a LOT of fun though. You could start with RA3 if you wanted. But RA2 is just so deliciously cheesy and awesome, I'd recommend that one first.
 
[quote name='Ralph444']I am buying Red Alert 3 and expansion.

Someone stop me XD[/QUOTE]

At least as far as Red Alert 3 goes, there's no reason at all to stop you. On the subject of Red Alert 3 Uprising though, that might be another matter. RA3U is much shorter (only 4 missions per campaign, as opposed to 9 in RA3), many of the actors from RA3 didn't return, and the writing in general isn't as good. There are a few good missions in it though, but over all, if you've played both, you'll think of RA3 as the clearly superior game.

I only paid $5 for each game. Knowing what I know after playing them both, I'd say that I would have been willing to pay full price for RA3. RA3U however, I'm glad that i only paid $5 for. They really shouldn't be priced the same.
 
Btw the best part of the Red Alert series, apart from the gameplay, is the cutscenes. Especially the ones for the soviet side. Great to see American actors trying to sound Russian =). Atrocious accent that makes even the serious scenes hilarious.
 
are any CAGs playing DayZ, the arma mod? I am interested to pick it up, wonder if there's people playing it together.
 
[quote name='kwonster']Also, what exactly is included with Age of Empires III: Complete Collection? The description is really vague, says it includes "three epic Age of Empires III games" but doesn't say which ones.[/QUOTE]

Age of Empires 3 and the two/three expansions for it.
 
[quote name='jer7583']are any CAGs playing DayZ, the arma mod? I am interested to pick it up, wonder if there's people playing it together.[/QUOTE]

I asked earlier if there was a CAG group but no one responded. I'm sure there will be plenty of people interested now that Arma2 was on sale though.

[quote name='Mr. Sax Appeal']

Thanks. I ended up picking it up. I think it came out during a gaming hiatus and I never knew about the game or its expansions.
 
[quote name='Tsel']How's Dear Esther? Worth the $2.50? I passed on it last time, but it's back tempting me again.[/QUOTE]

If you like games say like Superbrothers or Dinner Date, like your meloncholia, then yes, easy worth 2.50$ It should be noted that it is also a interactive ghost story, that changes slightly with every play through. Worth 2.50$ for a good 1.5 hour story? Eh, I'd more say 1.50$ but whatevs. I enjoyed it, and played through till the end. Has fantastic eery atmosphere.
 
[quote name='Tsel']How's Dear Esther? Worth the $2.50? I passed on it last time, but it's back tempting me again.[/QUOTE]

Somebody said the other day that you could simply watch game play videos of it on Youtube and you get the exact same experience as "playing" it. Any game where you can say that about it isn't worth owning in my opinion.

It's true. There literally is no gameplay at all. It isn't a game it's a semi-interactive movie.
 
[quote name='atreyuevr']Per my Steam recommendation:


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).[/QUOTE]

Thanks for the input!
