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.

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.

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.

It was already in the infinity bundle, and wouldn't you know it, I already had the game. It happens every time.
 
Got my Primal Fear beta key today. Pretty cool, they send two betas, one for a friend if you want to play co-op. Nice of them. If anyone wants it, just PM me and it is yours.

Why aren't you using a controller? Everyone knows the pizza functionality works better with the controller setup.

New Release Sales

Decades have passed since war erupted between the United Space Federation and the Alliance of Free Worlds. A bloody conflict that seemed to have reached a stalemate is now about to change, when a third faction suddenly appears.
Genre: Strategy, Indie

Postal 2 Complete 10% off ($13.49)

Live a week in the life of "The Postal Dude"; a hapless everyman just trying to check off some chores. Buying milk, returning an overdue library book, getting Gary Coleman's autograph, what could possibly go wrong?

Still too much for me, gotta wait for a 75% off deal anyways. The Toppings DLC I heard wasn't too great either. Just got Pizza Hut 2 last week so I'm good.

Regular Doom 3 is once again listed on Steam at $9.99, which is half of what it was priced at before being replaced by Doom 3: BFG.

There's also the somewhat confusingly named Doom 3 Pack which contains Doom 3 and Doom 3 Resurrection of Evil for $12.99.
 
I doubt this is of direct interest to many CAGs, but Fry's has World of Warcraft: Mists of Pan-daily-a for $20 on sale (reg:$40) and the CE for $54 (reg:$80). I find this interesting/surprising as I sales on WoW are quite rare, and just 6 weeks after release... that says something.

If it's on sale already you can probably bet they'll start giving out free MoP upgrades to inactive accounts after another six months or so like they did with Cataclysm.
 
Hmmm, Primal Fear was not what I expected. I really need to read up on these beta games before I start them. Or maybe not? This one seems like it could be fun - basically a Zombie Shooter/Alien Shooter styled game with online co op.

I think the online co-op is the big sell point.
 
There's only one acceptable game with "Primal" in its name:

I still have the action figures, man. Jose Canseco (featured) was always my favorite.

Huh. That's weird. There's a link in the middle of the game's page in the store. It's an underlined "Here". That worked for me.

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!

When I heard of this new Steam game I was like OMG If this is some sort of sequel I will die.

I had all of the toys and everything too! Oh man, I loved Primal Rage so much. Though Talon was my favorite : P

[quote name='anarchyoblivion']They're giving out Crysis 3 Alpha keys at fileplay.net right now. I saw a post on SD - i'll just link to there because they're several steps to get it. Obviously it won't be on Steam; another Origin exclusive.

Already had an account apparently and everything haha

Thanks for the heads up, redeeming my key now after Origin updates it lame self.

Well, it's a Primal year apparently. We have:

Primal Carnage: Humans vs. Dinosaurs game - so this one is definitely inspired by Rage if you ask me.

Primal Fear: Humans vs. mutant bugs - maybe bugs are primal?

Somehow I ended up with betas for both...lol... and I will own both... probably by this time next year.

Thanks. Got my key... apparently I had an account there (really not sure when or why). Then I saw minimum specs... DX11 card required... apparently my GTX 260 is too hipster retro for Crysis 3. ...okay, why do I suddenly think that plaid colored PCB should be the hot new thing?

[quote name='Pikagreg']Any thoughts on the Tomb Raider games on sale? Haven't really played any since PS1 but they are pretty cheap~[/QUOTE]

Anniversary is good, it is a remake of the original iirc. I enjoyed Legend quite a bit and recommend it the most of them all. I haven't played Underworld but have heard so so things, for the price can't go wrong getting them all, if you want to be cheap just get Anniversary and Legend.

You really shouldn't.
Origin is just another digital download client-program.
No, it's not as great as Steam - but's it's okay and is functional.
I got plenty of them client-programs on my PC - UbiSoft UPlay, Steam, EA's Origin, GMG's Capsule, etc etc.

If you want to play BF3, ME3, NFS: The Run, NFS: Most Wanted, Syndicate 2012, and most of the new upcoming games that come from EA's 1st party developers, you're gonna have to eventually install Origin.
