Welcome to the Steam Deal Thread V5! You can find link to past threads at the bottom of this post. 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.

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='CAGkrazy']Is winter sale starting today? Need to buy steam cards now! Hehe[/QUOTE]

last i heard, the winter sale will be starting on the 21st and go through to January 4 or 5
 
[quote name='Preedatore']Oh, you kids, my first Steam game was Half Life 2 retail. I was so annoyed that I had to install Steam just to play. I was on 28.8 back then and an update meant I wasn't playing that day. Even though I have been a member that long, my library is still smaller than most due to decent self control.[/QUOTE]

That was my first Steam game as well and probably the first digitally distributed game that I bought. I caved and bought it like 4 hours before it was due to release but Steam wasn't quite up to snuff back then and it was awhile before I finally got to play it.
 
[quote name='voken']Thanks, that helps. So is the game any fun and worth playing despite its age? (assuming you had played it before selling it)[/QUOTE]

My best friend as a kid used to have Jade Cocoon and I remember really enjoying the game. It has been quite a few years now and I was in my early teens at the time of playing, so if I played it now I might have a different opinion. Just from a nostalgic point of view I would say it was was one of my top games of the PS1 generation. I would put it somewhere in my top 10.
 
[quote name='JakeNome']last i heard, the winter sale will be starting on the 21st and go through to January 4 or 5[/QUOTE]

The winter sale starts on Dec 20th and runs until January 4th.
 
Looking back in my store transactions brings back memories. I activated Half Life Platinum Pack back in 2004 after I got it for $10 during Black Friday at Fry's. I didn't touch the account until Jan 1, 2009 - the first "Winter Sale" steam had. I got Bioshock for $5 then. I remember at the time this price was unprecedented. Now in 2012, I own 1,987 games.

Take a trip down memory lane to the first major Steam Sale...

Sadly my first Steam game was the F.E.A.R. Bundle from Amazon this Summer/Fall. (Though I am currently up to 51 Steam titles.) And just so I can date myself, I'm pretty sure my first computer game was Pirate Adventure (on tape) for my Ti-99/4A. Loved that game. :cool:
 
Feel free to add me too. I'm into KF, L4D2, payday (so little, it's hard to find matches) and sometimes BFBC2. Also tried some space marine and usually playing hawken.

Can suggest more games also :)

If you get no answer its because my kids are playing with my account ;)
 
In case it hasn't been mentioned.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Mega Man and Street Fighter, Capcom are giving away a new game: Street Fighter x Mega Man for PC. It's like classic Mega Man with Street Fighter characters as bosses.

Download from: http://www.capcom-unity.com/mega_man
More info: http://www.capcom-unity.com/brelsto...eet-fighter-x-mega-man-now-available-for-free

Their site seems to be under heavy traffic, so feel free to download it from my Dropbox: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/29343837/Street Fighter x Mega Man.zip

(It's the "European" version although I can't see it being any different to the US version.)

*EDIT* Should also mention that this game has no save function.

Thanks for the heads up - I'm excited to see a Sega Saturn game make its way to Steam. Of course, hoping that such a thing leads to other titles from the same platform getting ported/emulated is a different story.

Nevertheless, I'm thrilled to see the Steam entry for NiGHTS, and I cannot wait for it to go on sale.

My biggest question is the quality of the port - Jet Set Radio was a fantastic PC port, but the Dreamcast Pack's Sonic Adventure DX was the absolute bottom of the porting barrel. (Really, SEGA, if you had a full-fledged port of Sonic Adventure DX already released for the PC, why port the game again with far fewer features?)

[quote name='Lord_Ashour']I think I added everyone so far :)
That's weird. I got a few invites from here. Can you try again, or send me your profile so I can add you.

Also, I still can't get these damn Oblivion mods to work T____T[/QUOTE]


I got and accepted your invite now.

And I have a love/hate relationship with the Elder Scrolls games. Every time I go away from them for a while and then come back I always seem to spend more time fiddling with mods and configurations than I do playing.

I think I spent the better part of the weekend trying, and failing, to get Skyrim back to the way I had it perfectly running and looking when I played it months ago in the spring and summer. *sigh*

It's been on sale at GMG a couple of times and I ended up getting it there for $7.50 for the complete pack all steam once I applied a voucher to the sale price.

If somebody really wants it and is patient it will probably go back on sale again there or else it might even start showing up in bundles, at least the older ones, since Nordic is starting to work with Indie Gala lately.

Thanks for posting this.

I tried the game earlier, and it's a bit of a pain using the 360's default controls. (The Left Analog Stick is the default and features no dead zone, making even the level selection screen a bit spastic. In addition, the reconfiguration option doesn't allow the movement buttons to be changed.) I tried Chun-Li's level first and found that it freezes upon reaching the boss battle. Doing so again resulted in the same problem. I guess I'll have to wait for a patched version.

At the very least, I hope I'm supporting Mega Man by downloading the game.
 
[quote name='Bloodbooger']Free from Capcom? Sounds like a trap...[/QUOTE]

The game is developed by one guy with Capcom's supervision so it wasn't a big budget.
 
Can't wait to get home and play some Megaman x Street Fighter. That will last me until the holiday sale :D.

I was getting back into Skyrim but Skyrim needs to wait. 2D Megaman games (especially 8 bit) are my favorite games ever so this is Christmas for me :lol:. Also it's free even though I would easily pay $10 for this.
 
spellforce 2 has 3 incoming future dlcs as well. you may want to wait for a more complete "complete pack" if you have yet to play the game.
 
[quote name='sir_fragalot']...i would easily pay $10 for this.[/quote]


Sssshhhh!! :p

Uh Capcom, uh, thank you for this, uh, game that we never ever would have paid for normally.

Just checked over at the Steam community discussion forum for NiGHTS and saw that someone said this:

http://steamcommunity.com/app/219950/discussions/0/846939854302073588/#c846939854315195057
It's way more than just a port. It has a brand new set of extras, including a full remastered version, the original Saturn version, both of which work seamlessly together, as well as the Christmas NiGHTS level pack.
This is a game for the fans, requested by the fans, delivered by a company who does things for the fans.
Click to expand...


Though there is another thread that states it's locked at 30fps so there is that if that's a concern for some. Jet Set Radio is locked at 30fps too though and I didn't have any problems with that. *shrug*
 
Thanks for doing the research, Motoki. It sounds like SEGA put as much effort into the NiGHTS port as they did with Jet Set Radio, which is good news. I won't know for sure until I pick it up myself (An eventuality, to be sure.), but I'm definitely looking forward to when it's on sale. (In addition, I'm glad that Christmas NiGHTS is bundled with the main game.)

SEGA has been quite good about bringing their older titles to platforms like the 360 and PC. From Guardian Heroes (XBLA) and the SEGA Genesis Classic Game Packs to Jet Set Radio and NiGHTS, I'm glad there are modern, cost-effective ways to access these old titles.

Personally, I hope SEGA continues this trend for a while, getting games like Skies of Arcadia and Sega Saturn games (Panzer Dragoon Saga, Shining Force III, and Shining The Holy Ark come to mind.) over to modern platforms.
 
I think the Christmas NiGHTS might give me an excuse to get this game now. I mean who wants to play Christmas levels in January or February?

Yes I am justifying. :p

[quote name='EliotAndrews']Personally, I hope SEGA continues this trend for a while, getting games like Skies of Arcadia and Sega Saturn games (Panzer Dragoon Saga, Shining Force III, and Shining The Holy Ark come to mind.) over to modern platforms.[/QUOTE]


Those are all great choices and Shenmue as well. I also hope Sega continues this trend.

*Edit: I guess Shenmue was Dreamcast. I seem to blur Saturn and Dreamcast together in my head but regardless it was a good game and I'd like to see a re-release.
 
The War Z just got posted. Does anyone care about Day/War Z anymore or has that fad passed? In the summer there were like 30+ posts a day about it. Now weeks go by and no one ever mentions it.

*edit: Ewww they are selling "gold credits". Stinks of microtransactions except it isn't even a 'free' game.

*edit2: Holy hell, it's been up all of 5 minutes and the forum is filled with angry people saying Don't Buy This Game. I haven't seen this much rage since Towns went into official release as an alpha.

*edit3: Wow there's a ton of people complaining about being banned for (supposedly) no good reason on their support forum. https://warz.zendesk.com/forums/21423088-tips-tricks

I would normally think they were full of it and it's something they did but this volume of people with similar sounding stories I don't know...
 
I only played it on Xbox, but I enjoyed it. It plays nothing like the first four, more like a cross between third person cover shooter and stealth (with emphasis on stealth usually). People complain about the mark mechanic, but I thought it was a really cool thing that allows you to pull off some pretty awesome stunts. I heard it's got big technical problems on PC, though. Also the co op campaign is fantastic.
 
[quote name='Motoki']*snip*[/QUOTE]

From my understanding is not the same developer or team that did the mod for ARMA. It's just another developer that went and used the "hype" to sell their game. Aside from that, it's really unpolished game and really has a lot of micro transaction for it. Like ridiculous amount of micro transaction.
 
[quote name='Motoki']I think the Christmas NiGHTS might give me an excuse to get this game now. I mean who wants to play Christmas levels in January or February?

Yes I am justifying. :p




Those are all great choices and Shenmue as well. I also hope Sega continues this trend.

*Edit: I guess Shenmue was Dreamcast. I seem to blur Saturn and Dreamcast together in my head but regardless it was a good game and I'd like to see a re-release.[/QUOTE]

Supposedly they have hd versions of shenmue 1 and 2 completed. They just haven't decided what they are doing if anything about shenmue 3 which is why they haven't been released yet. This is for Xbox but I assume they could be released on steam as well.

It's pretty fun. The DRM could suck for you though. I think you have to always be online. Although I remember something about it being patched out... I'm not sure, but you might want to look into that before you buy.

The game itself is a pretty decent romp. I had fun with it for a few hours, anyway.

You're right, the DayZ team that made the mod for ARMA are working on a standalone version of it that won't be released until next year.

The War Z is very unfinished and the microtransactions really kill a lot of the survival aspects that made DayZ popular.
 
Sacred 2 Gold was recently added to the registry. I know a few people have been interested in that (including myself). Not entirely surprising since I believe both Sacred 3 and that interim golden-axe style beat-em-up Sacred whatever are using Steamworks.

I really enjoyed it. 16 Steam hours. I'd guess it would take a typical CAG 10-12 hours. Snagged it for $5 on the Summer Sale IIRC.
