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='selcouth']I've heard good things about SR2 as well. The PC port is regarded as one of the worst in porting history but I've read that if you have a beefy PC and install a certain mod it becomes playable and even enjoyable. Note that it's $3.74 for the next hour if you want to take the risk. http://store.steampowered.com/app/9480/?snr=1_7_7_151_150_2

[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I read some similar things but I never had any problems with it and didn't require any mods either.

[quote name='MysterD']Was it the RC mission?

I still would love for Rockstar to do a Vice City 2.[/QUOTE]

You know, I think it was--the one where you have ten minutes(?) to guide several remote-controlled helos loaded with TNT into specific areas of an unfinished building.

I don't remember the one in III. The one in SA was stealing guns from an Army base, IIRC, and the one in IV was also helicopter-related (the helicopter controls on PC are horrible).
 
[quote name='Jaysonguy']Yes, now that it's patched and all the DLC is out it's a very good buy.

If you loved Fallout 3 you'll love New Vegas[/QUOTE]

THIS.

Also worth mentioning...
FO:NV - Old World Blues is one of the best DLC's ever made.
 
[quote name='keroppilee']im always sad when steam sales end...but this year more than ever it seems it will go out with a whimper....[/QUOTE]

Saints Row 3 says hi.

Also this is my saddest sale, this is the best time I've had for one of these and the funny thing is the most fun was made from a game that costs 2.50.

I think it's because we actually have a real community going now here, it just took some time.

[quote name='monkeysez']Fallout NV was okay. I gave up on it because it was riddled with glitches and bugs. I got tired of not being able to complete some missions. The storyline was semi-interesting. Maybe it just isn't my type of game. BTW, I played it on the Xbox and not on the PC. Maybe PC version is better?[/QUOTE]

They patched the hell out of the PC version. I'm pretty sure that the vanilla console versions didn't get those patches but presumably the more recent GOTY re-release should have.

Also, as with most Bethesda games, there's lots of mods for it if you get the PC version.
 
It's sad, I usually recommend Everyday Genius Square Logic on the last day of these big sales because it goees super cheap and it really is an awesome little puzzle game, but it was unfortunately removed a month or so ago. Hope the developers are able to get it back on Steam for the winter sale:

[quote name='KHarward']The distribution rights for SquareLogic have reverted back to us, TrueThought, the independent developers who created the game. It was previously distributed on Steam by MumboJumbo.

We are hoping Valve gives us the opportunity to continue to sell and update SquareLogic on Steam. We're waiting to hear from them. We very much want to continue to use Steam as our primary distribution platform for SquareLogic.[/QUOTE]


Also, for a final purchase, I'm thinking of picking up Inside a Star Filled Sky because it looks really neat....any thoughts?

Less than one hour left then summer sale is officially over...

I wonder what the daily deal is for today... hope its something nice

I didn't know that. Hopefully the developers will be able to get it back on Steam. It is a good game.
 
Kinda off topic, but does anybody know who cs_451 is on steam? I just logged on to steam and I see that I've been invited on to his/her friends list. I don't wanna click accept until i know who the heck it is.
 
[quote name='MysterD']Was it the RC mission?

I still would love for Rockstar to do a Vice City 2.[/QUOTE]
The worst mission in Vice City, for me, was The Driver. I don't believe it was a required mission, but, nevertheless, it pitted the player against an aggressive AI with a much faster car. In the end, it was more about the AI messing up than about the player's prowess on the road.

I did end up beating it, of course, and the mission afterwards was quite amusing. However, I do look back upon that as the worst designed mission of Vice City.

Feel free to debate; I like reminiscing about the PS2 era.

What! Everyday Genius got removed! I thoroughly enjoy that game still today and occasionally play in short bursts. I hope the developers can get it back on Steam as well. Really glad I bought that a couple winter sales ago.
 
Picked up SPAZ as my final purchase. Damage wasn't so bad this year...

Pre Steam Sale grabs:
Borderlands GOTY (Amazon, $7.49)
Endless Space (GMG, $22)
Sniper Elite (Amazon $15)

From the actual sale:
Hard Reset - $3.75
From Dust - $3.74
Payday - $3.75
Fallout New Vegas Ultimate - $9.99
Driver: SF - $7.49, game is unplayable though, so I'm trying to get my money back.
SPAZ - $2.49

Freebies from Amazon:
EUIII Chronicles
Mount And Blade: Warband

Pretty light sale for me. I was thinking about some other stuff (MP3 especially), but there's only so much time in a day. I'll pick up MP3 once it's cheaper and I have less "new" stuff to play.
 
I screwed up by getting Crusader Kings II on special. Figured I could play it since I was out on the road and had just bought the new Macbook Air.

Sweet mercy it takes about 10 minutes for the graphics to finsih loading and then basically crashes. Still not bad.

It's quite a good game. I don't even like sudoku or its variants and I've played over 80 hours. Disappointing it was pulled from steam, definitely worth getting if you would enjoy it.
 
I'm on the fence about Jade Empire.. $7.50 for a game is more then I'd like to spend at the end of the sale and I've bought a ton of games, but it's never been on sale before... *sigh*

Do y'all think this is a once every 2 year sale?

Wait, what? I've probably put in more time on that game than any other. If you like logic puzzles (Sudoku, etc.) it's a great game - and it's casual enough I can usually play it while doing other things (watching tv, etc.) Shame that it's no longer offered, if/when it comes back, I can't recommend it highly enough.

I didn't want to risk it, I grabbed it simply because this is the first time it's on sale. Maybe it's going to be on sale from here on in but ehhhh, I don't want to have that worry in the back of my head.

What is the most recent patch? Im pretty sure that vanilla console versions got patchs at least unitl 1.7.

I recall getting the game for $3.75 during Steam's 2009 Winter Sale. However, judging by this particular Summer Sale, I'm starting to question what constitutes the best deal. Indeed, I lost out in a few instances by waiting for the Summer Sale. (For example, Driver: San Francisco was a Daily Deal at $7.49 a few weeks prior to the Summer Sale, but returned for the same price during the sale itself. This is unusual, since waiting for the actual seasonal sale traditionally yielded bigger savings.)

Considering how much cheaper it was in the past, it might be a good idea to wait. However, if it wasn't cheap during this Summer Sale, it's a bit uncertain when [or if] it will be $3.75 again.
 
Huge haul for me, now to find the time to play them all.

The Witcher
Trine Bundle
Monkey Island
Thief Bundle
Beyond Good & Evil
Fallout 3
Fallout NV
Borderlands
Skyrim
Max Payne 1+2
Oblivion
Morrowind
Deus Ex: HR
Splinter Cell Bundle
Longest Journey
Dragon Age

Total $113 for about 20 games.
 
Still can't believe SR3 wasn't a price mistake. It seems insane to risk pissing off a bunch of customers for more sales, but who knows. Definitely makes me question the sales more, since if the dailies are no longer assuredly the best deal, it makes me much more hesitant to buy.

Should've not gotten it from Amazon. Damn.
 
[quote name='BernardoOne']What is the most recent patch? Im pretty sure that vanilla console versions got patchs at least unitl 1.7.[/QUOTE]

According to wiki 1.4.0.525 but it looks like the numbering system is different between the different platforms so not sure how that correlates. Maybe the console versions did get them all. I admit I am pretty clueless about consoles since I haven't messed with them much since the 16-bit days. 8-[

There are quite a few instances where a game never reached the "cheapest ever" price again, usually with older, catalog titles that aren't big franchises. While I had the same debate about Jade Empire, considering how inconsistant it has gone on sale, it was better to be safe than sorry.
 
[quote name='Motoki']CheapyD or one of the other admins would have to change it. Anyway I think most of the damage has been done now unless someone wants to manually go through and purge a huge mess of people.

In theory letting anyone already in invite anyone else seemed like a good idea but in practice it obviously got abused.[/QUOTE]

Unfortunately it's not possible to automatically restrict Steam Community Group invites / membership to CAG forum members only.

We could go through the member list and remove anyone without at least a CAG forum membership (name issues aside) and a few post count but of course this doesn't block them from getting an invite again.

Having smaller "vetted" membership groups seems to be a fair solution for this. Or you guys could just use the CAG forum contest section and a RNG for community giveaways.

It's disheartening to see non-regular/active members win but that's just the way it is as the group gets bigger and bigger.
We started with about 1200 members before the 2012 Summer Sale and now reaching 2000 (I should have kept track on how many members a sale rakes in hehe).
 
Man, I lucked out with SR3. Was so close to grabbing it on Amazon but decided to hold off until a DLC bundle.
Lo and behold, ~$14. Good stuff! I'll post my damages later.
 
Really on the fence about Skyrim right now. %50 off is a good price, but I know by Winter it will be cheaper, perhaps even with expansion. And I can't be sure I will even fully dive into it before then with all the other games I have already picked up. I made a promise to not buy anything that was not %75 off, but they keep throwing this one in my face!

It's a price mistake, there's no doubt about it.

The way the sale is structured these things aren't found out until early morning hours on the East coast, by the time it was found there's only a few more hours to the sale and it's best not to piss off a huge set of people with "STEAM CHANGES PRICES HOW DARE THEY!"

The whole Terraria 25% difference is something people still complain about and have ill will towards both parties today. There's no sense in Steam changing this mistake now, just let it ride.

I was too, but between the things I just got from steam, and my console huge backlog, I decided I can wait. I was eying Max Payne 3 as well, but have successfully fought off both urges.
 
WAIT IS THE SAINTS ROW COLLECTION ONLY $13.29? i think i have to buy that now!! or is this because a game of the year edition will be out soon?
 
My Current Haul:

Divinity II - Dragon Knight Saga - 9.99
Tom Clancy Splinter Cell Conviction - 4.99
Thief Bundle - $6.74
POP: Sonds of Time - $2.49
Jade Empire - $7.49
Eschalon Book 1 - 2.49
Eschalon Book 2 - 3.74

Total around 38 bucks

Not too bad. I currently have the following in my acart, going to make a 4th quarter decision:

Fallot: NV Ultimate - Played the vanilla version on xbox...tempted to go back in
Jagged Alliance BIA - Loved the older ones and heard this one is pretty good not that it's patched
Sega Genesis Classics PAck 5 - Want those Phantasy stars

Trying to decide if I should get out with my current haul or bring my total up around $63 bucks...20 minutes to decide...

Doubt it was a price mistake. MW3 went to 75% off yesterday for like 3 minutes before the mistake was corrected to 50%. Somebody definitely monitors price updates.
 
ok i pulled the trigger on saints row! with only 30mins left on the clock... i just couldnt pass on a deal like that. hope i dont get burn with a GOTY edition or something!

Yeah, price mistakes don't last long on Steam.

I was thinking about it briefly, but I got plenty to keep me busy that I don't need to be buying a $10+ game on Steam. Also, I do have SR2 on PS+ that I have yet to play, so I don't really need to buy now to try it out.
 
So... I broke down and got Jagged Alliance at T-30 mins. Also got Coconut Queen for me, one extra for my first giveaway and got Spaz in my inventory to check the demo to see if I like it, if I don't it will be my second giveaway. :)

Final List :applause:
Endless Space - Emperor Special Edition (not in sale, but got it a day before it started so going to count it, hehe
Bejeweled 3
Civ V GOTY
Civ V Korea/Wonders DLC Combo
Torchlight
Limbo
Railworks 3 - Haulin' USA Pack
Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Standard Edition with all DLC
Magicka
Just Cause 2
Arma II: Combined Operations
TODAY:
Jagged Alliance with all DLC
Coconut Queen

For Gifts:
Coconut Queen

Undecided:
SPAZ

Total of: $125.88 ($90.85 without Endless Space)
 
Wizorb, Space Pirates and Zombies, Still Life, Still Life 2, Chronicles of Mystery: The Scorpio Ritual, Project Freedom, Cricket Revolution, Broken Sword II: The Smoking Mirror, Broken Sword III: The Sleeping Dragon, Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars - Director's Cut, Penumbra: Black Plague, Penumbra: Requiem, Gumboy Tournament.

Bought all those for cheap to round out my final day sales. That brings up my total another $17 to about $88 for the sale.
 
Two last minute Summer Sale purchases for me:

Legend of Fae
Coconut Queen - I drank the Kool-Aid

Well as I understand it, there's only one DLC on Steam that isn't in the pack and there's one more DLC item note yet on Steam. So you're basically missing out on 2 non-essential DLC items if they release a GOTY edition. The only thing left to worry about is the price.

It should be a good while before a GOTY edition hits this price point. So as long as you plan on playing this in the nest 6 months, I'd say you have nothing to worry about.
