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.

Yep, Zombies will be cheaper and it includes all the extras.

Why did I buy it in indiegamestand? :/
 
[quote name='MC Kage']eh... none of these look remotely intredasting.[/QUOTE]


Damn, you're right. On second glance it's very uninterdasting! I might grab two for $1.50, though.
 
[quote name='fignutz32']I've been using the "HORIPAD EX2 TURBO" Works like a charm![/QUOTE]

Thanks. That looks like the solution not just for the platformers I'm having trouble with but for a multitude of games I prefer with a gamepad. Cheers^^

In for Stellar Impact and Zombies.
 
Ack, posted this in the Amazon thread by accident.

[quote name='p-spiddy']I'm looking for a 360 controller with a decent D-pad. I'm using a PS3 controller right now and it works fine with DS3 tool in the background, but it sometimes jumbles the face buttons with games in Steam. It's not imperative or anything. I'm just plug'n'play lazy if there's a good option. Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]

The Logitech F310/F510/F710 are probably your best bet. They support Xinput (360 interface) natively (no 3rd party drivers), have a DS3 layout and a decent D-pad (though I rarely use the D-pad for much). There is also a button to swap the D-pad and left stick (so you can use the left stick instead of the D-pad, and vice versa). They are a bit bigger and heftier than a DS3 but have comfortable feel and a nice rubberized finish. The F310 lacks rumble. The F510 and F710 have rumble, with a hardware button to toggle strong, medium, weak, or no rumble/vibration. The F710 is wireless.

I've used a DS3 with MotionInJoy quite a bit. I've never encountered button scrambling, though once in a while I've seen a wrong direction when using the sticks at full-tilt, causing momentary disruption. (I assume to be an overflow-wraparound when converting the stick axes to Xinput).
 
The only problem I had with MotionInJoy was in Kingdoms of Amalur where the rumble was so faint you couldn't even feel it most of the time. I eventually bought a 360 controller just to have the buttons match what's on-screen, and just to eliminate having to start up motioninjoy every time I wanted to play. The d-pad is absolutely terrible but luckily I haven't been playing any games that require precise d-pad control.

The main and in my opinion only worthwhile DLC for Sleeping Dogs is the Nightmare halloween one. It's pretty cool. If I had to buy another one it'd be the street racer pack, but I wouldn't spend more than $1 max on it. It's just 3 races and a couple of vehicles.

Super meat boy is the game that made me learn to love my ps3 controller with motionjoy.
 
[quote name='stupidproz1']Super meat boy is the game that made me learn to love my ps3 controller with motionjoy.[/QUOTE]
Oh yeah, that game is hard as hell even with a Dualshock. If I ever wanted to play a game like that I'd definitely switch back to a DS3 temporarily.
 
My 360 controller crapped out on me a few months ago so I switched to MotionInJoy because I got lots of PS3 controllers lying around and I'm liking it so far. No problems. I like the PS3 controller more than the 360 so I'm actually more comfortable. I just wish there was a way my controller could always be hooked up automatically through bluetooth.
 
Death Rally is the same dumb minigame it was on Iphone. Play it for the free weekend and you'll realize that you have no need to ever buy this. And normally I'm a Remedy fanboy.

I said this in GMG thread and I'll say it again here. Sine Mora is offensive. The reviews are indefensible. It fumbles so much basic stuff (Hitboxes are almost indiscernable. Patterns are cute at times but boring most of the time. Pacing reminds me of R-Type Final. Randomized power-ups ensure playing for score is worthless and they have such a huge impact on the game that just playing for survival is going to be impacted by random chance as well, flashy graphics prevent clear recognition of patterns and a few dumb z-axis tricks add to uncertainty.) that it is a downright lousy shump, and gets so close to getting so many other things right that the dichotomy makes the game offensive rather than just bad. You have no reason to play this when you have alternatives like Satazius, Gundemonium, Exceed, and Jamestown at your fingertips. (And don't lie, if you're an enthusiast, you've got at least a half dozen Japanese ones squirreled away or a MAME folder you're constantly tinkering with and hoping to build up if you can ever match romsets to MAME version. You have MANY better ones. But even if you are a casual shumper Sine Mora is still at the bottom of the barrel.)

On Xbox your excuse was even flimsier with more, better competition like Guwange and Trouble Witches and that one game with the three cycling weapons whose name I forget. Even Ikaruga, which I spit on often, is a game I can still recommend. Sine Mora should never be played by anyone who is an actual shump enthusiast.

RE: Sleeping Dogs DLC, it's all mostly cosmetic game-advancement. The only DLC you might want to look at is the zombies one, the retro triad costumes, and the racing one, and even then they will go on sale later. There's more you'll probably like coming soon, but they will be small isolated mission packs a la the racing missions at best. Fortunately the game is fully featured and excellent as is.

[quote name='Blade']I guess that means nobody should buy today's daily...Stellar Impact is included.[/QUOTE]
Don't think that was in danger of happening anyway.

All I can say is keep trying.

Are you in it for the sport of it? Because if you don't actually care if you win it yourself, I've got codes for several of the coupons.

If you like hex based strategy games, Fantasy Wars is pretty fun and worth picking up. There's nothing particularly ground-breaking, but it's like a better looking Fantasy General.

Was after the 75% off Trine 2 Goblin DLC. Got you on Steam anyway :)
 
[quote name='The End']Oh really? So it's not just the Sewers that I have an extra of, eh? Interesting.

I hadn't bothered to try and redeem the Anarchy code just yet because I usually like try a base game without the DLC first (whenever this is an option, that is) so I have a sense of what has been add with the DLC.[/QUOTE]

[quote name='RollingSkull']Yeah, my copy of RAGE Anarchy Edition activated both DLCs with the game code and the two add-in DLC codes were extra copies of that. Happened the same way to me.

There are probably a lot of RAGE buying CAGs who didn't get the AE and would like those extra codes[/QUOTE]

[quote name='DPsycho']This reminded me that I hadn't activated my copy of Rage Anarchy Edition yet. I input the game's code (which like yours only had 14 digits but worked anyway) and then entered the Anarchy Edition code from the insert, but Steam tells me I already have the product(s) associated with the code. Now I'm confused. As far as DLC, it showed (and still shows) from the initial code that I have the Authority Pack and Sewers.

Authority Pack IS the Anarchy Edition DLC, right? Did I get the whole shebang from the initial code and now have an extra Anarchy Edition upgrade from the insert? Or am I in fact missing something?[/QUOTE]

[quote name='MysterD']Authority Pack DLC and Sewers DLC = the extra content for the Anarchy Edition.[/QUOTE]

[quote name='The End']Just so you guys know, according to the Retail CD Keys page on steam support, the Rage retail CD Keys need to be in this format: 1AB2C-D3FGH-456I7 to work. That's three separate groups of 5 characters (5-5-5). However, the key that I got was missing one digit in the last group (5-5-4). After a few moments of fretting that the key wouldn't work, I decided that I should at least try the darn thing just to make sure. The key worked fine. So if the key that you get appears to be missing a digit, try it anyway.

I should also point out that when I redeemed the key, I got the Base Game, the Authority Pack DLC & the Sewers DLC. If you did receive the Anarchy Edition, you need to redeem the key that comes on slip of paper inclosed to get the Anarchy Edition DLC. I'm not sure if it works the same on non-Anachy Edition copies, but I also had a key for the Sewers DLC on the other side of the insert that has the Anarchy Edition DLC. But since I already get the Sewers DLC just from redeeming the main key, I didn't need to use that key. So it looks like I got an extra copy of the Sewers DLC.

EDIT: MysterD informs me on the next page that all of the content of the Anarchy Edition are received when you redeem the base game key. This leaves you with extra copies of the Authority & Sewers DLC.[/QUOTE]


OK, Thanks to all in this thread. Mine shipped from New Jersey, and had Anarchy Edition printed right on the front cover. On the inside was the main code (the one I redeemed on Steam,was a sticker on the inside of the dvd box) and it was missing the last digit, but validated just fine. It came with a double sided insert with DLC codes on each side. One side for the Anarchy Edition Pack, the other side for the Sewers DLC. I DID NOT need to redeem either code. I've only used the main code found on the inside of the case, and Steam shows that I have both DLC's as separate entries in the "View Downloadable Content" tab. They are listed there as "Authority Pack DLC" and "Sewers DLC".

I would be more than happy to send my unused codes to an unlucky CAG that got the regular edition instead of the Anarchy Edition, but because of the recent BS with CAG's trying to make a profit off others generosity, I'll need a scan/photo of your NewEgg receipt (blur out any sensitive info) as proof that you bought the game. More than glad to help, but I'm tired of trying to help out people just to see them trying to sell it somewhere. Thanks to all in the thread again.

and NewEgg still has it in stock for $5:

I don't know much about it, but I think you can get a blue tooth adapter for your computer. That is if you are using USB cable to play. I think one if the updates where the programs developer got a certificate to mademade it possible or something.
 
I use ps3 through usb cord on my pc... I haven't used it through bluetooth. In motion joys driver there are instructions on how to sync via blutooth. I have tried it but it dod not like my adapter. They recommend a specific bluetooth adapter in the instructions I mentioned. I would shop for that one.

You're welcome.

I do hope to play some of these.
 
I guess it's never too early to start rounding up/harassing developers for a Volume 2 ;) Good idea!

Leftovers of the last live stream, 4 free copies can be sought using the discount code YESPLEASE123 at the Summerbatch page (go to cart, enter code, press update cart and then checkout!) - when they is gone they is gone :)

Grabbed one, downloading now. Thanks!
 
I'm sure that this has come up, but I'm quite thrilled about Velvet Assassin being in the next Groupee's bundle. I didn't grab the game when it was less than $2 as a Steam Daily Deal, and this is an excellent opportunity to remedy my mistake.

Strangely enough, the other deal I regret not jumping at was Insecticide: Part 1 of Only 1 when it was about $1.24. One day, that shall be remedied, as well.
 
[quote name='m0ds']It's the last 24 hours of the Summerbatch sale (Barely Floating, Jailbreak, Nancy The Happy Whore, Patchwork, PISS) for pay your own price (50p minimum)...

There are free codes up for grabs via the AdventureX Live Stream from 15:00-15:30 GMT today (Sun 11th) and again tonight at 00:30-01:00 GMT at which point the sale of volume 1 is officially over.

Thanks to everyone who supported Summerbatch from the Cheap Ass Gamer network :)[/QUOTE]

I had actually created a separate thread for this:

http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=327266

Hope it drove some CAG traffic to it.

I'd also like to know if/when we can expect volume 2 ("Winterbatch"?)
I've already finished all the adventure games in volume 1.
 
Re: Sleeping Dogs. Yes, the DLC is on Gamersgate at 50% off. Probably will go cheaper at some point but Squeenix is still within the DLC release cycle of it so you won't see it end THAT fast.

Forgot that the SWAT pack is out and that has a lot of random cop missions too.

In my experience passing on VA was not a mistake but YMMV
 
Decided to get over my prejudice against non-steam things and pick up the Summer Batch bundle. Some of those point-and-clicks sound pretty cool. PISS in particular.
 
[quote name='DPsycho']Is the Autumnseal.com site broken for anyone else? It's been giving me an error for the past hour.[/QUOTE]

Works fine for me. It loads, at least.

Getting codes on the other hand... I got matching Frozenbyte symbols but didn't get any code at all. Hmph.
 
[quote name='p-spiddy']I'm looking for a 360 controller with a decent D-pad. I'm using a PS3 controller right now and it works fine with DS3 tool in the background, but it sometimes jumbles the face buttons with games in Steam. It's not imperative or anything. I'm just plug'n'play lazy if there's a good option. Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]

[quote name='Umair56']My 360 controller crapped out on me a few months ago so I switched to MotionInJoy because I got lots of PS3 controllers lying around and I'm liking it so far. No problems. I like the PS3 controller more than the 360 so I'm actually more comfortable. I just wish there was a way my controller could always be hooked up automatically through bluetooth.[/QUOTE]

[quote name='NamPaehc']I don't know much about it, but I think you can get a blue tooth adapter for your computer. That is if you are using USB cable to play. I think one if the updates where the programs developer got a certificate to mademade it possible or something.[/QUOTE]

[quote name='shaggyc']I use ps3 through usb cord on my pc... I haven't used it through bluetooth. In motion joys driver there are instructions on how to sync via blutooth. I have tried it but it dod not like my adapter. They recommend a specific bluetooth adapter in the instructions I mentioned. I would shop for that one.[/QUOTE]

I use my DS3 over bluetooth with MotionInJoy all the time. I paid $2.00 (shipped) for my bluetooth adapter on Amazon, seller: Importer520. It was one of the non-official recommended ones on the MotionInJoy site. The way MotionInJoy uses the bluetooth adapter, you want to have an adapter dedicated to MotionInJoy if you use other bluetooth stuff simultaneously. I do have to launch MotionInJoy, click through a UAC, hit the center button on the DS3, and click Xinput and enable in MotionInJoy before I start playing. (It's rather trivial.) If I take a break I just need to hit the DS3 center button again to re-activate the bluetooth connection and everything is good.

[quote name='RollingSkull']Death Rally is the same dumb minigame it was on Iphone. Play it for the free weekend and you'll realize that you have no need to ever buy this. And normally I'm a Remedy fanboy.

I said this in GMG thread and I'll say it again here. Sine Mora is offensive.
The reviews are indefensible. It fumbles so much basic stuff (Hitboxes are almost indiscernable. Patterns are cute at times but boring most of the time. Pacing reminds me of R-Type Final. Randomized power-ups ensure playing for score is worthless and they have such a huge impact on the game that just playing for survival is going to be impacted by random chance as well, flashy graphics prevent clear recognition of patterns and a few dumb z-axis tricks add to uncertainty.) that it is a downright lousy shump, and gets so close to getting so many other things right that the dichotomy makes the game offensive rather than just bad. You have no reason to play this when you have alternatives like Satazius, Gundemonium, Exceed, and Jamestown at your fingertips. (And don't lie, if you're an enthusiast, you've got at least a half dozen Japanese ones squirreled away or a MAME folder you're constantly tinkering with and hoping to build up if you can ever match romsets to MAME version. You have MANY better ones. But even if you are a casual shumper Sine Mora is still at the bottom of the barrel.)

On Xbox your excuse was even flimsier with more, better competition like Guwange and Trouble Witches and that one game with the three cycling weapons whose name I forget. Even Ikaruga, which I spit on often, is a game I can still recommend. Sine Mora should never be played by anyone who is an actual shump enthusiast.

RE: Sleeping Dogs DLC, it's all mostly cosmetic game-advancement. The only DLC you might want to look at is the zombies one, the retro triad costumes, and the racing one, and even then they will go on sale later. There's more you'll probably like coming soon, but they will be small isolated mission packs a la the racing missions at best. Fortunately the game is fully featured and excellent as is.


Don't think that was in danger of happening anyway.

Thanks for that!

Don't lie. You got it for Nancy the Happy Whore, didn't you? ^_~ Oh and make sure you download it ASAP (~230MB), you only have 30 days and 5 downloads iirc.

I will indeed be playing Nancy the Happy Whore. But the drunk in me draws me toward PISS first.
 
[quote name='Sir_Fragalot']Prototype 2. Worth the $9.99 or no?

I own the first game. Of course since this is the Steam thread you know I have not played it yet :lol:.[/QUOTE]

I don't own either one so I'm trying to determine if it's worth both games and DLC for 9.99?

How do the games perform on PC? I heard about optimization issues with 2 is that still true?

To quote myself...
[quote name='MysterD']Just played for a little over an hour w/ Prototype 2, according to Steam and Raptr.

I'm running Prototype 2 here on my PC:
i7 950; 1 GB of GF GTX 560 Ti; 8 GB RAM; Win 7 64-bit.

My performance is always above 30 FPS (that is good!) and maxes out at 60 FPS (great!), but it's all over the place b/t there (ugh!) - you can notice slight slow-downs and stutters when the framerate drops majorly...b/c so much is happening on-screen here & b/c this game is a huge seamless world. It's not crawling when it stutters (b/c you're not hitting below 25 FPS or in single digits), but you do notice it.

Honestly, games should have a built-in feature to lock it down at 30 FPS or a max 60 FPS cap - just in case gamers don't want the framerate jumping all over the place.

Yes, I'm using my X360 gamepad when playing this. If you like Prototype 1 - chances are, you're going to like Prototype 2: it feels like it's more of the same, basically.

And now, back to the game...[/QUOTE]


EDIT:
To quote myself again...
[quote name='MysterD']Radical Entertainment is known for not-so-hot PC ports.

See Scarface: The World is Yours PC (performance issues and cannot remap your KB/mouse controls);
and both Prototype 1 & 2 PC ports (poor KB/mouse controls; performance & technical issues).[/QUOTE]


EDIT 2:
You haven't played any of the Prototype games, so here's, in short, my thoughts of them. They're A LOT of fun. If you like open-world games, you'll like these games. If you want lots of destruction on-screen - you'll like this. If you always wanted to be a bad-ass character w/ superhero type of power, you'll like this - you can grow claws; shapeshift into any character you consume; pick-up cars and toss them; jump-kick helicopters; run up buildings; throw people from the top of the building and then go find them and chase them down; etc etc. The story is P1 was alright, but it seems (at least, so far) it's better done and put together in P2 b/c it's definitely building right off the original. With Radnet DLC, it seems to stat-track everything you do and you can compare & compete w/ your friends, if they have P2 + RadNet. There's seem to be more collectibles and on-going stuff going on w/ P2, as well.
