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='Solid-Snake-Eyes']That guy was told they would try to have it resolved by the end of the day. Meanwhile other people were told all different things. Someone was told it was Steam's fault. Another person was told they would get a new key in 3-5 days. I filed a complaint with Securom and provided my key and some screenshots, hopefully MS resolves it soon and I don't have to wait for support to deal with my case. Uggh![/QUOTE]

See this is why I generally try not to buy games with 3rd party non-Steam DRM. I obviously broke this rule this time around and looks like it might come back to bite me in the ass.

I'll try it when I get home and if it doesn't work Microsoft, Valve and Securom are all going to get nasty letters (yeah I know they don't care but still).

And I still blame Valve partially. They allow those publishers to sell products with additional unnecessary DRM when I think they should push them to yank that crap out. Why do I have to verify multiple times? Steam already verifies I paid for it. Also as the store it's their responsibility to make sure the product is working correctly.
 
Went to check out The Longest Journey to see if I would be interested, turns out I already own it lol. First time for this to happen to me, I guess I now have too many games.
 
If they're announcing HL3, wouldn't it be smarter to announce during the sale? Put HL 1 & 2 on sale throughout the rest of the summer sale on the same page as the HL3 announce page? Drive traffic/sales. Am I missing something?
 
[quote name='ctclements']Someone talk me into or out of Recettear...I just bought the Dreamfall bundle after talking myself in and out of it all day. I have a huge backlog, Fallout NV, Bioshock 2, Alan Wake, all 3 Deus EX, Stalker and FEAR games, AssCreed Bro and Rev, and way too many other games...but Recettear seems to be pulling me in and I don't want it to yet.[/QUOTE]

It's a really good and neat take on the jrpg. The combat is simple zelda type stuff, as it's more of a chore than the meat of the gameplay, which is playing the market to buy and sell items at high margins, craft high value items, customize you shop, etc.

It has a lot of depth and you could probably put 100 hours into it if you liked it, though story mode is around a dozen hours.

If that's up your alley and you think you'll get to it before December, I would recommend picking it up. Those Carpe Fulgar games really only go on sale for the giant holiday sales, unlike a lot of other games that will get discounted again to the same amount by the end of the summer.

If you see it being in your backlog for some time, though, I'd wait on it.

That happened to me for the first time during this sale, as well.

I think it was for a piece of DLC, though, which makes a little more sense.

[quote name='Arben']Eh, it's just a couple of bucks. You might really like it! :twisted:[/QUOTE]

Thanks for the tips guys...I watched a gameplay video of it on youtube and I'm sold...hopefully this is my last buy of the sale, I've only spent about $50, but I wasn't planning on that at all. So how do you guys recommend playing Recettear? With a controller? On the TV?
 
[quote name='rieper']Interested in getting The Longest Journey before the daily flash deal expires in the next hour or so....my biggest concern is whether it can be played @ 2560x1600 my dell monitors native res.

Any info is highly appreciated. Thanks.[/QUOTE]
What Ive seen on the net, no.

I can't even imagine it at that rez. Hand drawn backgrounds may be ok but the protags, ugh.
 
Today's sales are a lot of games I barely talked myself out of getting when they were flash sales. Today I bought Fallout 3 GOTY, Fallout New Vegas Ultimate, Plants vs. Zombies, and Saint's Row 3 (From Amazon) after passing on all the first time they were on sale.

I'm also now considering the Alan Wake Bundle again.

I'm downloading Fable III now, it will take awhile, but I hope my game works (doubtful though.

I need one of these. Was gonna DL Railworks today, but that sucker is 13 gigs!!! I guess you get your moneys worth for those $1000.
 
Are there any good shumps out on steam that is on sale? Was looking at Jamestown, but can't get myself to buy it cause of knowing that it has been cheaper and in an indie bundle.
 
[quote name='EarthBoundX5']Why the hell is there no Myst III and IV in this pack/on steam?![/QUOTE]

They were developed by Presto and Ubisoft Montreal, respectively. That's why Myst V has been a while coming. Cyan had to get the rights back from Ubi.


[quote name='Jodou']Lol, why is Amnesia still $5? Might've given it a shot for closer to $2. What a fail sale so far; total purchases is still zero. :\[/QUOTE]

RollingSkull has been pushing Gundemonium and its sequels a lot.

Haven't tried them yet, so I can't really comment on the quality.

You're missing the part where it's a joke. No way HL3 is announced.
 
I just got sad all of the sudden. As this is my first true Steam sale, I realized it will also be my best. Sure, I can say Ill finish a bunch of games and need to reload in winter, but who am I kidding?

Another day my wallet is safe (unless someone can talk me into one of the games I don't already own!)

Reminder that my CAG-only giveaway of Torchlight ends tomorrow at SteamGifts. Enter!

I actually have it (Indie Royale Bundle), but I can't seem to get into it. The 'ships' (characters) seems too big for two of the games and generally I find the art direction annoying imo.

Also, is noitu love 2 at 50% off worth the purchase? Hasn't it been cheaper and in a bundle before?
 
[quote name='omnicious']No, no. I really can't.[/QUOTE]
Dead Space is like walking along the beach at sunset, while a gentle wind blows through your hair when compared to Amnesia.
 
[quote name='omnicious']If I can't bring myself to finish Dead Space out of fear, buying Amnesia would be a waste of money right?[/QUOTE]

Dead Space actually gets less and less scary the more powerful you get. It still retains a tense and foreboding atmosphere, but it becomes more and more of an action game the further along you get IMO. Just take it in small play sessions if you have to. I have a friend on Steam who's terrified of the game, but he's made it to chapter 8. If he can do it, you can. Like I told him, those necromorphs aren't going to frag themselves!

I found them to be really good side scrolling shmups. While the art direction is going to be extremely hit or miss, they are really good samples of the bullet-hell subgenre both in terms of gameplay and difficulty. I'd wholeheartedly recommend them for shmup fans.


[quote name='dejeckt']Also, is noitu love 2 at 50% off worth the purchase? Hasn't it been cheaper and in a bundle before?[/QUOTE]
Noitu Love 2 was a LOT of fun, but very VERY short. I finished the game with the main character in an hour or so. There's a second unlockable character you get for beating the game once, but her levels are the same as the main character's. (With an exception on the final boss)

Overall it was really enjoyable, but i could see where CAGs would want more than a few hours (3 or so tops, unless you particularly revisit just to play again) for their $2.50.
 
[quote name='sotc1988']Dead Space is like walking along the beach at sunset, while a gentle wind blows through your hair when compared to Amnesia.[/QUOTE]

lol.
I agree that dead space wasn't so much horror, but more so a thriller. However, those in space moments were genuinely creepy.

I can't get myself through Amnesia. For an Indie game it has great sound design...the sound/noise is the scariest part in the game (being paranoid of every creek, thinking that you've heard a voice, etc)

Have you guys heard of the Slender game? I won't spoil it here, but it's a horror game and it's free.

Dead Space is kinda like the opposite of Resident Evil 4. In that the creepiness leaves once you get later in the game, but it still tries its jump scares on you. While RE4 does that random bit on the island all of a sudden near the end of the game. But you can do this! It's a pretty decent game, so a full play-through is worth it!!

And even though the steam group seems appealing, doesn't everyone think it's kind of funny how people are just popping out of no where asking to join? >_> I just can't bring myself to ask for that randomly xD.
 
[quote name='dejeckt']Also, is noitu love 2 at 50% off worth the purchase? Hasn't it been cheaper and in a bundle before?[/QUOTE]

I got it in a bundle, though I forget which one at present.

Post in the proper thread in the OP and you'll get added. When we hit a deals lull, plenty of guys here go over there and add away. :lol:
 
I've missed out on SPAZ in previous sales, so I'm hoping it wins. However, for the sake of it being totally fucking awesome and wanting more people to play it, I voted for the Walking Dead.
 
[quote name='ctclements']Is Recettear better with a controller or keyboard?[/QUOTE]

I used a keyboard had no problem with it at all.
 
Sweet new deal on cybermancy. Comes in at a cool 3.99 for the next three days! A value that could only be surpassed by the price that was set for the last 8 hours.

 
[quote name='CheapLikeAFox']Just a reminder, 1 hour left in the Saints Row III Spec Ops giveaway. New one starting once that one is done.[/QUOTE]


Where do I enter?


Also, 2 questions regarding today's Steam sale: Alan Wake -- has it been cheaper // will it be cheaper on amazon?
Also, Nexuiz -- worth it -- and if so, anyone hosting a 4-pack?
 
[quote name='ctclements']Is Recettear better with a controller or keyboard?[/QUOTE]

I used a controller.

Worked fine.

There's only like the dpad and 4 buttons.

A SNES controller could handle it.

[quote name='VACRMH']Looks like Beyond Good & Evil is the next flash sale at $2.49. Always wanted to try this one out![/QUOTE]
I can't put into words how much I want this. However, Ive gotten ultra mixed messages on this version v. the PS3/Xbox 360 "HD" ports.
Can any one shed light on if its worth paying the console network of choice premium for the HD version? I even read somewhere they REALLY phoned it in on the console so in some respects, even the old pc is better. So confused.
