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='Sophita']Anyone who owns the majority of Pendulo game think the Pendulo bundle for 35.99 is worth it? Are they long games each or do you wish you waited for a cheaper sale?[/QUOTE]

That bundle was cheaper I believe on a flash deal. It only popped up once IIRC s it could come back. I'd wait and see what the dailies and flash/votes are tomorrow.

[quote name='TraBuch']It was already on sale for $15.[/QUOTE]

This. Knowing that's it's hit $15, I would wait on it. I would assume we'll see it again in the winter sale.
 
Ya curses finding out about interesting games on the last day of sale. Oh well now to eagerly post "Is it the winter sale yet?" in here.

Also as I just found Steam had this game on its store a few days; but for anyone who loves space strategy adventure games like freespace should check out Space Rangers 2:Reboot

http://store.steampowered.com//app/46330
 
This was my first major Steam sale since I got my first gaming-capable computer about a year ago. It was great, except for that the community vote sales and flash sales were constantly repeating themselves, and what was on sale for the daily sales. But who am I to complain, I bought 10 awesome games for $46, that won't happen anywhere else. Problem is, even before I bought these 10 games, I was already behind by maybe 10 games already.

Which made me wonder...do I get more fun/pleasure out of buying and having these games around IN CASE I ever play them, or actually playing them? ;)
 
Another recommendation for Still Life, though I've only played the first one so far. Of note, Post mortem is a prequel in the series but isn't included in the bundle.
 
[quote name='Blade']Does anyone remember The Graveyard? You "play" as an old lady slowly walking to a bench and sitting down. Dear Esther is amazing compared to that "game" and they're both $2.49.[/QUOTE]
For those who are getting The Path (probably just me :lol:), you can just pay 50 cents more and get both The Graveyard and Fatale

[quote name='TraBuch']Can someone recommend some adventure games that's not Dreamfall, Monkey Island, or made by Telltale?[/QUOTE]
And some more that Spoony missed:

King's Quest Series
Dark Fall
Post Mortem (basically part of Still Life)
Nikopol
Machinarium
Secret Files: Tunguska
Myst Series (duh)

[quote name='Hop25']Universe Sandbox is the new flash deal for $2.49[/QUOTE]

Anyone have an opinion on it?

Edit: a ton of people on my friends list have it and I know ya'll are too cheap to buy indie games outside bundles. Was it in some bundle I missed?
 
[quote name='TraBuch']It was already on sale for $15.



Picked up Broken Sword, Syberia, Blackwell, Scratches, and Still Life. I actually picked up the Pendulo games when they were a flash deal. Forgot all about that.

Gemini Rue looks awesome, but there's no sale. I'm actually tempted to pick it up anyways.

Hector looks interesting, but I seem to remember TotalBiscuit doing a WTF of it and it kinda turned me off.

The Sherlock Holmes games look fun, but I dunno if I wanna spend $21 for the collection.[/QUOTE]

Nice haul!

FYI: The Sherlock Holmes collection often goes on sale for about $17 in the major sales (don't know why it didn't this time), and last winter, it hit $8.74 in a daily. That was a freaking awesome deal.

It's all about the peace of mind given by having options available to you for what to play. Of course that's offset by the stress of picking and the ever growing backlog. Course the only way to deal with that is to buy more games to be comfortable that you know you won't miss anything... if you get to it that is before the inevitable heat death of the universe that is.

Speaking of the inevitable heat death of the universe, looks like Universe Sandbox is the C&C replacement.
 
[quote name='Motoki']Anyone have an opinion on it?[/QUOTE]

It isn't a game. If you like space and want to run crazy "what-if" scenarios, or just watch solar systems be modeled, grab it, but don't go in expecting a game. I had fun with it for an hour or so.
 
[quote name='Motoki']Anyone have an opinion on it?[/QUOTE]

It is fun to mess around with if you have an interest in astronomy or physics. There aren't any goals or objectives, it is just a simulator.

I'm one of those arguing FOR Dear Esther, trust me; I need no warnings against getting non-games :lol:
 
Anyone have any feedback on Crysis 2 maximum edition? I am tempted to pick it up since the maximum edition doesn't have any nasty drm besides steam.

There was a Winter '11 event achievement for it, so I think a bunch of people picked it up then.

It wasn't in a bundle, but it had achievements associated with it during the winter sale and that's probably why everyone picked it up. It's a nice simulation game for aspiring astrophysicists. And hey, you get to play with more ball-shaped objects; right up your alley, CQ. ;)
 
[quote name='Motoki']Anyone have an opinion on it?[/QUOTE]

Somebody once described it as being like Google Earth. The sort of thing that you like to play around with for 20 minutes or so every once in a while. I think that kinda sums it up. It's fun to cause galaxies to collide or send Jupiter hurtling into the sun just to see all the havoc that it would cause to the solar system. But just like Google Earth, you wont be fooling around with it for too long. 20 or 30 minutes and you'll be moving on to something else in all likelihood. Though you'll probably revisit from time to time.

Obviously an interest in astronomy and physics is a requirement to get some enjoyment out of it. If you're not interested in astronomy and physics, don't bother.

Guess I'll hold off on it then. Thanks for the recommendations.

Any opinion on Post Mortem, Nikopol, or A Stroke of Fate: Operation Valkyrie?
 
I'm still kicking myself for passing up that Sherlock Holmes collection when it was $8.74. I was hopping that it would show up again this sale, but I don't hold out too much hope at this point with only one more day of deals.

Post Mortem is the prequel to Still Life. And it's honestly pretty good.

All three together are an interesting story too.
 
[quote name='Terlan']Anyone have any feedback on Crysis 2 maximum edition? I am tempted to pick it up since the maximum edition doesn't have any nasty drm besides steam.[/QUOTE]

All it is is Crysis 2 + the two multiplayer DLCs and of course SecuROM FREE!
 
[quote name='Terlan']Anyone have any feedback on Crysis 2 maximum edition? I am tempted to pick it up since the maximum edition doesn't have any nasty drm besides steam.[/QUOTE]

Umm, yeah it do...SecuROM and Activation Limits. I should have got it when Amazon had it DRM free.
 
[quote name='walkonshadows']Umm, yeah it do...SecuROM and Activation Limits. I should have got it when Amazon had it DRM free.[/QUOTE]
Crysis and warhead have securom, back when it came out Crysis 2 had solidshield. But from what I have read on the steam forums. Crysis 2 maximum edition doesn't have any drm aside from it being on steam.

If it makes you feel any better, I still haven't played any of them, so my spending $8.74 on it hasn't given me any more play time with them than you :lol:

I paid 13.74 for the holmes collection in January 2011.

In checking my account I see that in the Winter sale of 2010 I actually PURCHASED Bad Rats!!!!!!!!

I had Bad Rats from IndieGala, and Coconut Queen came from Motoki, so yeah. I did buy a few bigger games that hit sale points too low for me to pass, but I'm skipping my $1-$3 bargain snatching this time.
 
Think I'll just pass on Crysis 2, save the money for potential last day purchases. I'll grab it come winter sale and by then I'll have built a desktop that will be able to run it a lot better than my laptop.

Hey guys I'm new to pc gaming and just made a steam account. Bought a few cheap games so far like plants vs zombies goty when it was $2.50 and some scary point and click games, but now i feel i should i buy Torchlight since it's $3.74. Any opinions on the game?

Try the demo, and if you like it, pre-order Torchlight 2. You get a copy of torchlight for free right away.

Its worth 3.74 but id go check the Steam trading thread. Alot of people got Torchlight with Torchlight 2 4 packs. Some were selling their Torchlight for $1.

Here's the deal, I love it and you being a great person with fantastic taste by taking part in a Steam sale will love it as well.

BUT

If you get Torchlight 2 you get the first one for free right now which makes Torchlight 2 for 16.25 (since Torchlight is 3.74 right now)

So the power is yours (Captain Planet for the win) you can either get a fantastic game for 3.74 and wait on the second one until it's on sale or grab them both now.

I would support either direction you choose.
 
I see a lot of people talking about Civ V expansions, and I want to make it clear for anyone who enjoys multiplayer: YOU CANNOT USE CIVS THAT THE OTHER PLAYER HASN'T BOUGHT. A HUGE bummer if you ask me, but last I tried, they are explicitly stated as being unusable because my friend did not own them.
 
Well after doing my taxes (I filed an extension so don't worry) I felt like crunching numbers and came up with this list of totals spent on digital gaming lifetime:

Amazon: $216.73
Steam: $161.73
Indie Royale: $45
Humble: $40
Groupees: $28
Gamersgate: $26.98
GOG: $21
Indie Gala: $12
GreenManGaming: $3.99

Total: $555.43

Price Per Steam Game: $1.96 (284 Total Games)


Not bad at all. Of note is the fact that not all the games in the bundles or on amazon or gamersgate are on steam, so my price per game is really closer to $1.45 a game if I count those.

Other interesting fact is all my amazon digital spending has been from December 2011 to present so they have definitely replaced most of my steam purchases (even though most of the games I do purchase are still steamworks).

Probably will cut back since I have built up my backlog since Fall 2011 with all these bundles. Will never stop bundling :) But might reduce my retail purchases to a trickle until I clear some of the bigger titles.


And My Steam Summer Sale 2012 Total is:

$59.02, with $32.97 actually being Amazon purchases during the sale and $3.99 at GMG.

What I bought:
Saint's Row the Third
Sniper Elite V2
Railworks 3 Haulin USA Bundle
Trains vs. Zombies DLC
Just Cause DLC
Killing Floor DLC
Crusader Kings DLC
Mount and Blade Napoleonic Wars
Red Orchestra 2 Deluxe Edition
Deus Ex:HR

Nikopol is alright; short, first person adventure. I think I dropped a buck or two (if that) and got an hour or so of game play. You solve one puzzle in one room, move on, solve another, move on...linear, but interesting design/art style.
