Hey so anyone care to answer as to when the sale ends specifically? Is it usually at 1 p.m. ET of the day of? Is that what it's to be this year? So 1 p.m. on Tuesday?

 
GUYS MAGICKA'S ON SALE FINALLY

Anyone interested in a COH2 40% off coupon? It expires 12/3 and I already have the game.  Not a bad deal since the game is $19.99 and you'd get it for $12...

First to PM me with their Steam name so I can trade you the coupon.  Couple of caveats.  1) must have 200+ posts and been a member for at least a year.

I just want the code to go to use before the end of the sale and hopefully to someone who wants play the game.

Cheers.

....And gone.

Thanks everyone!

I have about an hour to decide if I want to drop $2.50 on the Far Cry 3 DLC. Hard to determine if a couple of extra missions and a re-skinned animal or two is really worth it for me.

Yes. 1 PM EST tomorrow.

You can go to the page of any non-flash/daily that has a discount and get a countdown to the end of the sale.

For those with pinball issues, I had laggy response on mine too.  One thing that helped, this is only if you have an nvidia card, set pre-rendered frames to 1 in the nvidia settings for the game.  It helped mine out and got rid of the lag.  i do still have the spiderman table glitch though

 
Couple of questions for a Steam newbie: I have the base Magicka game already, can I buy the pack that includes the game already and gift the base game away? Either way it seems like it would be cheaper to buy the collection I just would like to make use of an extra copy. Also looking to snag the DLC for Civ V. I have the base game so I'm guessing my best bet is to get the Gold edition upgrade and Brave New World. That sound about right?

The collection pack will not give you extra gift copy of the base game if you already have it, the dlcs will just be added to your account.

To get the complete Civ V if you only have the base game, you will need the Gold edition upgrade, Brave New World, Scrambled Nations Map Pack and Scrambled Continents Map Pack.

Ah thanks, good to know. I figured I wouldn't be able to give away my extra copy but worth checking. I might wait on the Civ content and buy a "complete" upgrade whenever they put one out.

*Disclaimer - have not played the game* When I purchased FC3 a while ago, most of the discussions I looked through when trying to decide the same thing seemed to indicate that the extra missions weren't particularly impressive and didn't take too long to complete.

Thank you kindly. Had I had $2.49 in Steam bonds, I would have probably picked it up... but the economy is killing my trading card bidness and after Black Friday I'm not looking to use my credit card anymore this week.

 
Needed to say thank you to pasports31 for convincing me not to jump the gun on Reus.  He saved me 9% and that is a debt I can never repay...unless at some point he needs to borrow a dollar.  Sold!

 
I don't know why they can't get the % off to display correctly on the front page when they are posting these deals.  You have to go to the game page to see the real discounts.  Whatevah.

 
Was hoping Bionic Dues would get a bigger discount on the last day.  Anyone have this game, worth a 50% off purchase or should I wait on it?

 
Might have grabbed Shadow Warrior if it had popped up before Deadpool. The only thing tempting today though is Age of Empires II HD.

I have deluxe and I say go for it. My reasoning is that it's fairly cheap, I remember the missions being pretty cool, and I really wanted the thylacine cause they're awesome. Plus I love that feel when you own all of the content for a cool game. But you can easily live without it, so whatever you wanna do will be fine.

Bundle fodder.

Any thoughts on the Tomb Raider DLCs? The Lost Adventurer tomb and weapon stuff worthwhile?

Also, do those digital book things ever go on sale?

EDIT: If you don't have Age of Empires II HD and you like RTS games, find some friends or enemies and get that thing for less than $4.

What do people think about AOE2HD vs AOE3? I was just introduced to AOE3 recently (by my girlfriend, of all people), and I liked it quite a bit.  Any reason to go back to AOE2? What about the Legacy pack?

(and boo for 75% off on 2 but not 3)

 
A quick question, if Dirt 3 web won't show to me on steam because of region, but I could still activate it with a key to my account and played it, will Dragon Age ultimate edition will work if someone send me it as a gift thorugh the store? since it's the same restriction I guess...?

Edit: weird, ultimate edition restricted, both games separatly not, so I went the safe way :)

The Lost Adventurer Tomb will take you five minutes to complete. It's .59... you have to decide if that is worth your time.

All the rest of the DLC is either early unlocks or multiplayer stuff.

The mechanics are fairly different. AoE III introduced the "home city" concept that Robot later tweaked when developing AoEO. AoE III had a story that ran through a single campaign, while AoE II had four campaigns in the base game that were based on actual historical figures (not a few made-up people that were in the Americas during Revolutionary times). I haven't played the tweaked HD version yet but I can tell you that AoE II remains one of my favorite RTS games of all time. If you've never played it, it's worth checking out at this ridiculous price (especially for that 4-pack).

I will add that, although it took some getting used to, I eventually played and enjoyed AoE III and its expansions. I still liked AoE II better though.

So the silencer and reticule are unlocks that you will find in-game? Hm. That seems frivolous. I can use my meager Gabencredit to buy the tomb though.

 
I passed on tomb of adventurer last sale, but 59 cents is cheap as hell. Might pick that up this time.

There are also single player outfits. Some were preorder bonuses and some were just released as DLC. At 19 cents each I might grab those.
