BigglesSWE posted:Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor at 25% off is a decent price for a VERY good game. Price might drop even more in the coming days, but in any case I highly recommend it. I think it might be GOTY for me. It's just an overall solid and fun experience. Seventeen dollars on Nuuvem is an even better price.

Putting my wish list on the front page, prominently displaying how discounted all those games are, was a devious move Valve. Devious.

Taking the first day's Daily Deals just as an example:
Those unadvertised Daily Deals may not repeat, but if people strictly follow the "wait for the daily deal" rule and only go by what appears on the front page of the store then they're going to be missing out. Enough people seem to spot these unadvertised Daily Deals to push them into the top 20 best sellers, but I've lost count of the number of people I've seen saying "I didn't see games Y & Z go on sale!" when everything's over, simply because they didn't check for the unadvertised deal. As always, there are exceptions. During the last Summer Sale when Skyrim went up for a Daily Deal, Oblivion and Morrowind didn't get a deeper discount at the same time (although they did in previous sales) but did later get their own deal. Also, if Far Cry 3 appeared as a Daily Deal on its own then it's unlikely that Far Cry 4 would get an equally deep discount, but then if FC4 does end up appearing as a Daily Deal itself for 33% off, then there's a strong chance that all the previous Far Crys will get a deeper discount. TL;DR: If an advertised Daily Deal is part of a franchise, there's a strong chance other games in that franchise will be unadvertised Daily Deals.

I have the seasonpass but (to my knowledge) there's nothing in it thus far that warrants it. Sometimes it's nice to be a rich bugger and buy it all, but in all honesty, I'd say buy the full game only.

In general you should always check Isthereanydeal.com or a similar site to be sure, even if a game is already on sale on Steam.

Mung Dynasty posted:I never know what street address to put when ordering from Nuuvem. I put my own, there's none of that restriction like on Amazon.com for non-Americans. They do restrict a handful of games (can't buy Shadow Warrior for like 3$), but I'm ok with that because I figure those keys might be region locked anyway.

Generally the game page will warn you with a big red label if a game key is region locked, but sometimes they won't let you buy it anyway. Going through a Brazilian proxy can get you around that, but that boils down to a question of money saved vs. time spent finding a good proxy.

Is anyone having issues trying to make purchases? I've tried paying with my debit card and paypal through my work PC and I'm getting errors and the transaction's not going through. Tried it on my phone as well (on work wi-fi and on data plan alone) and nothing either. I just want Defense Grid 2 before it goes off sale

Looks like 'tis the season for Activision to not renew the licenses on it's failed licensed games from the past year or so: Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse, Ice Age Continental Drift Arctic Games and The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct have been yanked from the Steam store. No big loss, but worth noting.

I feel like a big old turd because I really didn't like Thomas Was Alone. The platforming is not great, or even good really, and the writing and narration is uninteresting but has a British dude. I feel like everyone loves the hell out of it, so I try it out again every once in a while but it seems like it just kind of... loving blows. It goes for cheap in sales, but I still say you ought to avoid it.

Somehow I completely missed Red Faction: Guerrilla getting a full steam conversion. Do people still do multiplayer? Cause Rhino-packing everyone through walls on XBL never got old.

They don't care if you activate a key or use a VPN to unlock a game earlier. If you use a VPN and purchase through the Steam store by pretending you are in another region, they take notice. I think some goons had a warning or temp ban in the past?
