Sadly as a PC gamer...I've seen these games go on sale a thousand times.
I can go a whole year without buying a single PC game and not miss out on anything.

It's not. Most people overlook it as "just another zombie game", but it has some new elements not in other games.

I've noticed that they will change the prices on deals with no notice...this morning the Daily Deals were much worse. I guess the moral is to not buy right away because they might drop the price after an hour or two.

was tempted to pick up Machine for Pigs for $9.99 but I don't think I want to at that price...seems more worthy of an under $5 deal...hopefully Outlast will go on sale for $4.99...will bite on Metro Last Light and Far Cry 3 if they go under $7 (have too much of a backlog to waste $$ now when the game will be cheaper by the time I'm ready to play)
only game I picked up from the Holiday sale thus far has been Season 1 of Walking Dead ($6.49)

I'm with you on Machine for Pigs. I wasn't very enthusiastic about it after I read a review that said it wasn't "The Dark Descent II" but supposedly, even though they dialed down the terror factor and stripped some of the game mechanics away, it's not really an inferior game...just a different game. I'd have no qualms paying $5 or less for it.
Outlast is great; I picked it up during the last sale and it can be pretty terrifying.

Have actually made enough money selling those trading cards to get some games. Thinking about picking up the Trine complete series. Just not sure if its my kind of game though.

how does Outlast compare to the original Amnesia game?
I fucking knew this would happen. Brothers was literally the only game I gave a shit about this whole fucking sale. What do these fucktard people do? Vote for fucking chivalry. God dammit!
in their defense the vast majority of people have no idea what brothers is, so why would they vote for it? most people are just voting for the cards and aren't going to go watch the trailer or research opinions of the game. that said, this is the 7th time chivalry has been this price in the last 6 months.
get it and trick someone who doesn't play games into playing it with you. trine and the LEGO games are the only games I could ever get my ex to play.
Around black friday some were around $5. Although they older we get, we've kinda played it all it..it can be challenging to find an original game sometimes.
Unless you're into roguelike or zombie survival games, that seems to be the only non AAA games coming out anymore.
Episodic content every 2 months is not bad at all...especially compared to Half Life 2's episodic schedule
waiting for all the episodes and then buying it seems like the best way though...plus you get it for cheap
+1
Highly recommend Contagion, picked it up back during Thanksgiving and I've had a lot of fun with it. Although it has zombies and co-op it's nothing like L4D. The developers are very active on the Steam forums and have made adjustments suggested by the community.
It was. Steam even put out an ad saying thats the price. I told my brother about it, and when i went to look a 2nd time they made it 50% instead of 75% off, $30 instead of $15.
bait and switch!
edit: its even on the front page, first post in this thread right now showing 75% off at $15... they really messed up.

I'm not very far into Outlast yet, but both manage to scare the poop out of me. Some people say that Outlast relies on gore and jump scares while Amnesia is more about a constant sense of dread. But I know after my first "encounter" in Outlast, I can't walk around that damn place without a sense of dread as far as what might be in the next room or around that corner...
If you like scary games, give it a shot. It's pretty legit. I think it's worth $10 but if you can catch it at $5, you're not out much if you don't find it as entertaining as I do.

Yeah it was disappointing, but you know, while not as good a deal as it would have been on Steam, you can get Brothers for 60% off or $5.99 at amazon (steam code). Personally I will wait till it's on a site that doesn't charge me tax before I buy it but it is an alternative if you really want it now. Link

Just crashed out of a game due to unstable OC settings on my rig. Otherwise Contagion is one heck of a fun game to play. I played with 7 other people, the atmosphere of the game actually makes us feel like we're on edge, the scarcity of ammo/weapons is just right. Getting my hands on the AR15 felt so good while the others had pistols and MP5's. I would definitely recommend this game, though it does some more polish before final release.

Wow, Steam's download speeds are garbage compared to Origin.
Steam: 13 MB/S
Origin: 100 MB/S
Steam: 13 MB/S
Origin: 100 MB/S

So far, I just bought the 3DMark for $2.49 that Steam had on sale the other day. It's the first non-game I've purchased via Steam. I was looking for it in my Library wondering where the heck it is and then saw I needed to switch from Games. :O
I hate you,
I'm maxed out at 6 Mbps with my slow-ass DSL "Elite". So. I wouldn't have seen the difference.

Dang, today's sales suck
Nothing I want. I see Call of Duty: Ghosts on "sale" for $59.99, LOL.

Steam sales have gone the way of woot. Used to be great and fun, but now it's just a waste of time.
I bet when Origin has a huge sale their bandwidth per user goes to crap. It'd be interesting to redo this test during a non-sale time.
