Steam Sale Spotlight

As much as I loved Terraria, I'm going with Bastion here.

[Darth Marsden]

Gonna vote for Bastion. Just to be different.

Plus, Dungeon Defenders has already been reduced a bunch. Not sure about Terraria, but meh.

EDIT: Ninja'd! So much for being different. OK, then Bastion deserves to win. EVERYTHING.

[Johro]

I voted Bastion too... eventually. It took over 30min before it would acknowledge one of my votes.

[RetroVortex]

Voted Bastion. For the sake of voting.
(Wanna get the shiny pointless badge! WHEEE!!! )

[Darth Marsden]

Here we go again. <DEEP BREATH>

Cities XL 2012 - 75% off
Hitman (franchise) - 75% off
Indie Bundle IV (A Valley Without Wind, Atom Zombie Smasher, Blocks That Matter, Sanctum and Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP)) - 75% off
Mount & Blade (franchise) - 75% off
Saints Row: The Third (+ almost all DLC) - 75% off
Serious Sam (franchise) - 75% off
The Darkness II - 75% off
The Walking Dead - 40% off
Trine 2 - 75% off

I'm noticing that several of those were previously up for public vote, though I don't think they won. Just FYI.

Latest Flash Deals are the Microsoft Flight Collection (66% off) and Killing Floor (75% off).

Saints Row 3 did win. As did Trtine 2.

And I am pissed @ the indie bundle. I was waiting for A Valley WithoutWind to go on sale and now it is in this bundle with 4 other games. 4 Games I already own.

[Darth Marsden]

OK, is the Trine 2 OST worth the extra 50% it'll cost me to get the Deluxe edition? I don't really care about the artbook, just need to know if the soundtrack is worth it or not.

[der_ketzer]

I like it but wouldn't fully recommend it to everyone. There is a cheap upgrade option by the way. Maybe try the game and upgrade later if you want to.

[Rather Dashing]

When it won the voting, I bought the standard version with the logic that, if I really love the game, I can buy the upgrade during a later sale. I don't need to rush to snag a soundtrack and art book, especially since the soundtrack may come in the highly probable "Indie Bundle" release of Trine 2.

[Darth Marsden]

Yeah. Cheaper by a PENNY.

Watched the trailer. If the rest of the music's like that, I think I'll pass.

[Gman5852]

Hey Mardsen, Steam keeps deleting your gift to me(thanks ) and won't let me add it, can you resend it?
On the plus side, Gumboy tournament showed up perfectly...

[Darth Marsden]

I, uh... I don't have it. Not sure what's going on there.

EDIT: Oh fuck, I know what's happened. I accidentally gave it away with all the other games I'd bought for my Secret Santa. Shit, sorry 'bout that. I'll have a word with DivisionTen when she gets back, see what I can do. Doesn't look good though. Sorry!

EDIT2: Hang on, maybe not. It says in my gift history I sent it to you. Are you 100% sure you don't have it?

It is not in my steam library, inventory, or pending gifts so no I don't have it either.

EDIT:I do however have the email of you gifting it to me, but when I click "redeem" nothing happens.

[Darth Marsden]

No, my Summer Santa recipient got it. Sorry about that. I'll get you another copy.

EDIT: New Flash Deal - Vessel. Usual 75% off.

EDIT2: Bastion won the public vote. As well it should have.

EDIT3: New Flash Deal is the Gothic franchise. 50% off. Don't bother, It'll be cheaper down the line.

Next vote trinity is Dead Space 2, Grand Theft Auto 4 and Just Cause 2.

[Gman5852]

I voted Just Cause 2 just cause(had to be made)

and now both monkey island special editions are on the flash sales.

Tales of Monkey Island is also included in the Monkey Island flash sale. It's (you guessed it) 75% off.

Pretty sure everyone here that had any level of interest in Tales already has it, but it's still worth a mention.

Sadly it isn't part of that pack, but the game is 75% off though.

[der_ketzer]

New Flash Deal:

Prince Of Persia complete pack 75% off
it includes the "Sands Of Time trilogy" and both new ones. All games are 75% off and the whole pack will only save you 21 cents in Europe right now.

Be warned: the newest game in the series uses the "shiny and new" Ubisoft DRM (booo) and has a digital Deluxe Edition, that will give you, amongst others, the great soundtrack (yeah!) and the first game of the old Sands Of Time trilogy (yeah!) for the price of both games combined. If you want the pack and the price of the individual games is only slightly higer I recommend the Digital Deluxe edition of The Forotten Sands for the soundtrack alone.

[Johro]

Same in NA

[der_ketzer]

Also: If you don't own the godlike soundtrack for Bastion yet and you don't get it on this sale: I hate you. Yes. I said it. I hate you.

In other words: If you got Bastion on Steam also get the soundtrack. I personally do not like the game but I bought the soundtrack. Twice. I own it on CD now.
