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='aus_nacht']I've been waiting for morrowind to go sub 10 dollars for 2 years. The only reason why so many people want ARMA 2 is for Dayz (myself included) but 16 is pretty ridiculous.[/QUOTE]

it was 5 bucks on january 2nd 2010(when i picked it up)
 
[quote name='ZerotypeX']any thoughts on the Carpe Fulgur collection?[/QUOTE]

Recettear is the best of the three but I'd say it's worth grabbing all three if only to support Carpe Fulgur

[quote name='aus_nacht']That's the spirit. We are all working towards the 500+ club.[/QUOTE]

pssh 500+, weak

I'm almost at the 1500+ club

[quote name='veb']Out of curiosity, how many of you have played the games you've bought in this sale so far, and if so, which ones did you jump on?[/QUOTE]

Well I will give you guys a wild guess on which game I bought during this sale that I have actually played and played the most of recently.

PS - the giveaway ends soon so hurry!
 
I think it's the lack of achievements and prizes that has made this sale really boring. I played through a ton of the games during the winter sale to get some coal just to get crappy coupons and had a blast doing it. Now all I do is check to see which deal has been reused in a flash/daily/community slot.
 
Cant wait to go home and DL these purchases!

Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 - 75% off
Allan Wake Franchise 75% off
Witcher 1 - 75%

Yeah, apparently i missed these games the first time around. good thing they went back up!
 
[quote name='dracula']it was 5 bucks on january 2nd 2010(when i picked it up)[/QUOTE]

Thanks for the salt. I know about that sale. It's what gave me hope for a future sale. It was the only steam sale I've missed...
 
[quote name='Tsel']Is Nexuiz really that bad for $2.50?[/QUOTE]

[quote name='alkaliv2']For Nexuiz, are these the same devs who designed the Nexuiz FPS for linux? I mean, I know that this version of the game isn't the one from linux but I support anyone who promotes gaming on linux.[/QUOTE]

Nexuiz is pretty cool. I played a bit when it was free. The WTF for it is really good at giving you background on the game and the gameplay. It is fun, has some balance issues, but looks great. The reason so many people diss it is:

1. It used to be free so how dare anyone want to get paid for a good game when they used to give it away for free.

2. One of the devs of the free version did something some people consider shady and put it up for sale somehow. Obviously, legally he is fine since it is up for sale on steam, but a ton of people who worked and contributed to the free version were soured by this since they felt it should have been a perpetual community free game.



As far as the sales, yeah - they suck. Period. Not suck in the "oh these games or prices are bad" - but in the "we're not discounting all the games as much this year as we did last year, we're using the flash sales as an excuse, but we're repeating them as dailies and community deals too so our excuse is really a BS way to keep prices higher."

Their sale is only working in the sense it is wearing me down and I might buy stuff just because nothing I want has gone on a good sale. (Dead Hungry Diner I'm looking at you).
 
I'M DONE. I've finally gotten the first Witcher and bought Alan Wake American Nightmare and I'm done. Didn't spend over 50 for the whole sale. If ARMA II goes cheaper, too bad for me.
 
Fallout New Vegas Complete for me today...but the link seems a little messed up in the storefront. I guess I'll do a manual search.
Edit: Doesn't Left 4 Dead 2 have every single left 4 dead 1 map included, except with the new infected and weapons? I can't remember exactly because it's been a little while since I've played. I'd just buy that one if that's the case.
 
[quote name='veb']Out of curiosity, how many of you have played the games you've bought in this sale so far, and if so, which ones did you jump on?[/QUOTE]

Oddly enough, Dead Rising 2: OTR (1000/1000 GSC on 360 DR2) and Fallout 3: GOTY (~700/1000 on 360 vanilla). Want to start up Witcher 2, but my computer is showing its age . . . so I just ordered a RAM and video card upgrade which should arrive Monday.

Good thing I don't drink or smoke or leave my house except to go to work. Games are my passion . . . they make me happy. (Justification to stomach the ~$400 I've spent this month on my hobby).
 
[quote name='mightymek']Looks like nothing for me today, unless something exciting happens with flash deals or community vote deals.[/QUOTE]

I possibly take back this statement. I see the Witcher 1 is on sale. I think I read this does not work with Windows 7. I can google to confirm, but anyone have any experience with this?

I personally don't care for those sales. I end up downloading and playing games that I don't have a strong desire to finish, which is a bit irritating. It's a bit like Steam telling me when I should play a certain game.
 
[quote name='Poorleno']I take it you do not need the dlc for ARMA 2 to play DayZ..[/QUOTE]

You know there is a free version of Arma 2 that works with DAYZ right ?
 
[quote name='Motoki']Well I will give you guys a wild guess on which game I bought during this sale that I have actually played and played the most of recently.

Heh. I'm going to wait til the last day, you know, in case it's a flash deal or a community's choice.
 
[quote name='veb']Out of curiosity, how many of you have played the games you've bought in this sale so far, and if so, which ones did you jump on?[/QUOTE]

Only Dark Messiah,Wings of Prey, and Rail works so far. Personally I am stocking up to last me to the winter sale. Games drop so fast these days in price I figure it's best just to wait for each of these big bi-annual sales and stock up.

No wonder! I could have sworn this used to be advertised as a F2P. That's pretty sad that they were douche'd out like that. Oh well.
 
Krater! Yes, finally! I've been hoping it would show up ever since it lost that vote. Really tempted on Last Journey and Dreamfall but not sure if I'll play them anytime soon so I wisely held off I think.

I think I'm all done with the sale. I got:
-Alan Wake AN
-FEAR 3
-From Dust
-Batman Arkham City
-GRAW 2
-Toy Soldiers
-Dead Space 2
-A lot of Dungeon Defenders DLC
-Krater
Smaller haul this year but I'm happy because I had a strict budget and focused on stuff I really wanted and knew I would play.

when you start, turn off the quicksave and autosave and don't save over old saves, i had to start over after my saves got corrupted.
 
[quote name='CAGkrazy']is krater any good? is newly release game... should i just for it to hit 75% in the future?[/QUOTE]

Played the beta, found it underwhelming. Reviews have not been kind. Setting is unique, but that's the primary draw. I recommend waiting for 75%.
 
Man, this is a pretty poor sale. I bought a few games, but for the past two days or so, I've just been seeing the same games over and over, and I expect it will be that way for the rest of the sale.

You still need OA though even with the free version.

I think this is a lot of the reason for all the silliness here lately. I know it is for me. The past sales gave us something to do whereas now we have to make our own amusement. I know we could actually play our games but really, who does that?

This.
 
[quote name='Solid-Snake-Eyes']Well maybe they could announce ahead of time that every flash sale will eventually be a daily (not sure if this is 100% true) and it'd take the sting out of things cause you could choose to just check the store once a day and not deal with these repeats. Those who are into it could still try to grab flash deals instead of waiting to pop up in a daily later in the week.[/QUOTE]

The flash deals are a lie.
 
[quote name='warreni']Played the beta, found it underwhelming. Reviews have not been kind. Setting is unique, but that's the primary draw. I recommend waiting for 75%.[/QUOTE]

alright, then its settled! the wait begins for next holiday sale. hehe! thanks! just added the game to my wishlist.
 
[quote name='stoned99']You know there is a free version of Arma 2 that works with DAYZ right ?[/QUOTE]

Nope I did not know about a free version, where is this black magic at?
 
Oh, I just saw Alan Wake's American Nightmare is only $3.74. I have the original game on Xbox. Any reason the PC version of this isn't a good idea?
 
[quote name='mightymek']Oh, I just saw Alan Wake's American Nightmare is only $3.74. I have the original game on Xbox. Any reason the PC version of this isn't a good idea?[/QUOTE]

Nope. Go for it.
 
[quote name='veb']Out of curiosity, how many of you have played the games you've bought in this sale so far, and if so, which ones did you jump on?[/QUOTE]

None yet. I tend to focus on one or two games at a time or I can kiss the remnants of my sanity goodbye. I'm in the middle of Mass Effect 3 at the moment on PC and inFamous on PS3. So far I've been pleased with ME3 and it's eaten up almost all of my gaming time recently except for a brief dip in the SWTOR free trial pool.

When I finish that, I'm probably going to immediately jump into the Harley Quinn DLC for Arkham City I got during the sale and put Jurassic Park next in my queue (unless Ep 3 of The Walking Dead comes out first). Alan Wake is going to be one of the next ones after that (grabbed American Nightmare during the sale).
 
[quote name='PetersHere']Man, this is a pretty poor sale. I bought a few games, but for the past two days or so, I've just been seeing the same games over and over, and I expect it will be that way for the rest of the sale.[/QUOTE]
This. I think I've already seen all of what this sale could offer to me.
 
[quote name='veb']Out of curiosity, how many of you have played the games you've bought in this sale so far, and if so, which ones did you jump on?[/QUOTE]

I've played a bit of Alice: Madness Returns. Decided it might work better with a controller (or maybe the keys need to be remapped.)
 
[quote name='louiedog']80% of the Steam sale seems to be a variation on one of these comments.

1) Rehashed sales are bullshit.
2) I missed the previous 75% off deal for this game. Good thing it went cheap again.
3) The indie bundle isn't available in my country? Motherfucker! Oh, there it is.
4) Everyone voted wrong.
5) Coconut Queen, bitches![/QUOTE]

Which is why I stopped following this thread. I'll return when the sale is over.
 
Despite the mixed reviews, I think I'm going to give Krater a go. Was interested when it released, was disappointed when it didn't win the vote, etc.

Yet another Steam Sale where I went in saying "probably not much that I'll want". $87.37 later...

No regrets, though. I've gotten a ton of good stuff to keep me occupied.
 
[quote name='CheapLikeAFox']
Their sale is only working in the sense it is wearing me down and I might buy stuff just because nothing I want has gone on a good sale.[/QUOTE]

I'm pretty sure this then translates to WAI.
 
[quote name='louiedog']Nope. Go for it.[/QUOTE]

That's the way I was leaning. Just looking for someone to justify my decision...heh.

I should check these sales a little closer. I didn't realize America Nightmare would be on sale too. I just thought the original and it's DLC was on sale. Same with the Left 4 Dead flash sale. I just saw the L4D2 is also $5, but I wouldn't have known if I didn't click on a game I wasn't even interested in getting (L4D1).
 
Give me a larger discount on Arma2 already, all my friends don't have the patience that I do and already got it. This is making it very hard for me to wait for a daily deal.
 
[quote name='stoned99']You know there is a free version of Arma 2 that works with DAYZ right ?[/QUOTE]

Technically this is right, but if you use free ARMA 2, you still need to buy Operation Arrowhead.

If you want higher rez textures a paid copy of ARMA 2/OA (they are bundled as Combined Operations) makes it happen.
 
[quote name='veb']Out of curiosity, how many of you have played the games you've bought in this sale so far, and if so, which ones did you jump on?[/QUOTE]

I've played Trine 2, Shoot Many Robots, A Valley Without Wind, Sanctum, Dark Messiah Might and Magic (until the frame rate drops on Win 7-64 made the game unplayable), Orcs Must Die, Ys Origin and Vessel. Put the most time into Trine 2 and Shoot Many Robots and played the others around an hour or less each.

Anyway, probably pick up Krater today once I trade in some games to Gamestop for Steam credit. Still waiting until the last day for drops on a handful of other games I am interested in.
 
[quote name='dracula']it was 5 bucks on january 2nd 2010(when i picked it up)[/QUOTE]

steamprices.com says the lowest Morrowind been is $10. I would have scooped it up in a heartbeat at $5.

Edit: Oh, they don't go back to early 2010. Nevermind. Still, that's a long time with no -75% for such an old game.
 
[quote name='pantsattack']Technically this is right, but if you use free ARMA 2, you still need to buy Operation Arrowhead.

Hmm.. I'll look into both options. Not sure if my computer can even run it sadly. I'll have my desktop by November, though.
 
[quote name='aus_nacht']That's the spirit. We are all working towards the 500+ club.[/QUOTE]
ha, the sad part is if you use multiple DD services you'll start thinking about buying games on one site forgetting you already own it somewhere else (Sadly this has already happened to me). Also, I wish steam would have done daily achievements or something like the coal thing to motivate me to play some of these games.
