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.

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='Monsta Mack']Witcher 1 Enhanced still $2.50 had to grab that as well.
On the fence with Zeno Clash even at $1 lol.[/QUOTE]

Buy it. Awesome game, easily one of my favorites in the last decade! It has one of the best melee combat I ever played.

I would recommend you to buy it on amazon though, its the same price, its for steam, and you get 5$credit to spend on January!

edit: damn Mooby, you are a ninja.
 
[quote name='utopianmachine']Sort of random. Anyone else's wishlist at the top right showing 0 games? If I click it, I see my whole wishlist, anyway.[/QUOTE]
mine's been doing that since the sale started
[quote name='CheapLikeAFox']ubisoft is having their own flash deals for uplay so I think that explains why.[/QUOTE]
thanks, didn't know about this.

[quote name='Jon7']If you actually still want to play the games in 10 years, the $2.50 they'll cost then will not be a big deal, though they might not even run on whatever OS is out then.
Arkham City is worth dealing with the DRM for the MUCH better graphics compared to the console version.[/QUOTE]
they'll be in an indie bundle by then. :bouncy:
 
Anyone who owns Arkham City can comment on the securom it has? Does it install anything to your computer, or leave behind anything when you uninstall the game? Or is it just an activation limit?
 
[quote name='teknikalei']Thanks, but the group buys are also in the first post of this thread, so I don't think my request was out of line, was it? I will post a request in your linked thread as well.[/QUOTE]

It's common courtesy to keep buy/trade/sell stuff out of this thread, otherwise it'd be madness. Newcomers or infrequent posters are just more likely than regulars to have their transgression commented upon.

When regs do it, I give 'em the stink eye from my side of the monitor; kinda like swearing at another driver with your windows up.

Meh, the more games on that list the better. I'm already having a hard time finding more than 3 games that I have some interest in, but don't already own. I assume that there will be more games added, but for now, it's slim pickings.

So these Flash Deals end in 11 hours 47 minutes, the Dailies from yesterday end in 13 hours 47 minutes, and the Current Dailies end in 37 hours 43 minutes.....when does this sale end exactly?
 
[quote name='Tsel']Seriously? The end date is listed on the storefront of Steam AND the title of this thread.[/QUOTE]

Yes the DATE is quite apparent, that why I'm quoting 3 separate TIMES. I understand it usually ends at 1PM EST, however the current countdown for the current dailies takes the end time well past that, and the Flashes are apparently ending an hour or 2 so before that.

The sale ends @ 1PM EST (10AM PST) on Tuesday. There will be one more day of deals tomorrow. Lord only knows if they will be repeats or new deals.

[quote name='nastyislegend']Opinions on Universe Sandbox?[/QUOTE]

I like it. It really isn't a game as it just simulators space. But it is fun to be able to change variables and mess around with things and screw around. I've gotten a fair amount of fun out of it just doing that, I think there is a demo on Steam. Hard to go wrong though for $2.50 though.

Here's the little odds-n-ends, see two quoted posts below.
[quote name='asheskitty']And now Silverfall Complete is on Steam for $3.74 through the 27th. I snagged it right away. (Unlikely it'll go lower, and I don't want to forget.)

Steam freaked me out with 21+10GBs of download, wound up being just 10GB total. Apparently Earth Awakening is just 224MB on top of the base.[/QUOTE]

[quote name='asheskitty']I just noticed
Zombie Driver HD is $2.49 (75%)
eXceed Complete Pack is $4.99 (%50) .. /em hopes for a daily (or flash)[/QUOTE]

Yes, I was totally forgetting to say that. Awesome deal right there :)
 
Maybe worth $2.87 if you're up for jumping into the .ini files and doing some tweaks. Almost certainly not worth $5, pretty much the epitome of bad console port.
 
[quote name='M_F_A_H']Two words: Critter Crunch.[/QUOTE]
I second this. Such a great game. I've put in a little more than an hour and find the game quite addicting.
 
Does anyone have problems with certain games running on larger hard drives?

I got a 4TB External last month pretty much strictly for backups and games, and took me a while to figure out but some games just don't work unless I install them to my smaller WD 1TB, namely Just Cause 2 & Orcs Must Die 1.
 
[quote name='Englando IV']People have mentioned Zeno Clash and The Witcher a lot (which I agree with). I also personally recommend:
E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy $2.49
[/QUOTE]
Agreed @ all of that.

EYE: Divine Cybermancy is one of the most bizarre and craziest FPS's/RPG genre-benders I've ever played.
It's like someone took some of Deus Ex, added in optional MP for good measure, huge environments, ability to hack others, ability for you to get hacked, secret society stuff, and anything else crazy and off-the-wall while they were at it.
Easily worth the $2.49

[quote name='dfg']And a wacked-out translation.[/QUOTE]
Shhhh, I have a thing for bad translations. Hard Truck Apocalypse's translation literally makes the game 56.8% funner for me.
 
Gonna wait on Mark of the Ninja. While it looks awesome, I don't really get the pricing. 15$ seems a bit steep for the 6-7 hours. Plus the 50% is only sitting at 7.50$. I just don't think I want to pay so much for an XBLA level title. With 100 hours AAA's going for 25$ ( Mega MEGA games like Dishonored, Borderlands, and XCOM), 7.50$ for a shorter XBLA seems very pricey. I'm gonna wait till Winter and maybe even longer.
