Not open for further replies.
How long does the sale last for?

As long as it has to.
For as long as there is money in your bank account, the sale will thrive.

Can't wait for disappointment!

I know, right?
Now imagine that you owned 4 or 5 times as many games on Steam...

Unless you're JaseC looking for +1s... it's reaaaaaaally reaaaaaaallly dire for some of us. :p

The first 'Hey guys X game is -33% off and not a daily should I buy it now?' that I see I'm going to gouge my eyes out with a spoon.
 
There are two achievements: beat all missions, beat all missions with 5 stars rank.
I completed 64 missions. The only thing remaining is doing chocobo hunts, but I really don't want waste my time here, since it's totally random and useless now. Also Chocobo Hunts have another achievement, so I don't know if those count as mission, but I think they don't, since are not actually missions.



Yeah, saw that. But sadly I can't purchase it. Also it's 1€ expansive compared to aSteam 75% off discount.

And for Ground Zeroes and GMG, we EU users probably won't even see the game here, since Konami games are not available for EU users (we can't purchase Castlevanias nor Rising).

64 is the total # of missions, so I'm not sure why it didn't pop for you.

We've survived dozens of 'at what time does the sale start' (why exactly is that the new thing, never was before?), we'll survive everything else too.
 
Reposting my question for new page:
I've got a question about the region restriction of MGS Rising (https://steamdb.info/sub/36077/). If I activate the key using a VPN, can I play it without a VPN later while in a restricted country?

check steamDB...

and you're not on a new page... at least not in the world of the 100ppp royalty.

Hey guys -- X game is 33% off as a daily... is it worth it?

You're doing it wrong.
Gouge out their eyes.

Judging by the twitching of my eye every fucking time that question got asked, I don't know if survival is worth it =p

Speaking of which, for the 50pp plebs:

Very soon. Hope for many price mistakes :3

What's the plan for those who want to buy from Russia since trading is off the table now?

I just don't see why yall are getting excited about wasting your money. You can send it to the fund mokoi's new computer, so he doesn't have to waste his money instead. Just saying. :)

No. Probably not. It might really trigger that aneursym that I'm always worried about... and then I'll be dead with a large Steam library of unplayed games. :(

See, I knew we saw eye to eye, even if we occasionally disagree. If only I could hit a button and send assassins to do the good work of Turfster (using a melon baller, no less) every time I saw one of the offending questions...

Luckily, most of the idiocy should move to the sale thread that Salsa or MRORANGE should be creating?

if street fighter x tekken gets a good discount i think i will buy it ( even if is still in GFWL )

Keep wishing.

Ok, so time for a lesson:.

https://steamdb.info/sub/36077/

Code:
AllowPurchaseFromRestrictedCountries	No
PurchaseRestrictedCountries expand	BT BN KH CN HK ID JP KR LA MO MY MV MN NP PH SG LK TW TH VN
AllowCrossRegionTradingAndGifting	No

Now compare to something like... Wolfenstein:TNO, which I believe DOES require a VPN everytime you play:

Code:
AllowPurchaseFromRestrictedCountries	Yes
PurchaseRestrictedCountries expand	AM AZ BY GE KZ KG MD RU TJ TM UZ UA
onlyallowrunincountries expand	AM AZ BY GE KZ KG MD RU TJ TM UZ UA
AllowCrossRegionTradingAndGifting	No

See that nasty little ONLYALLOWRUNINCOUNTRIES attribute? Yeah, that's what requires a VPN everytime you want to play.

Resident evil revelaitons is still 40€ base price, whelp.

I hope i can get cheap valdis story and dark souls, the rest can wait for christmas sale.
 
I won't get most games I wished to buy. Can't afford to pay more than 10 euros for single game.
Buy less stuff. At least that's gonna be my plan.
Eh, that sucks but I think you are right :(
The dream is dead. Russia will prosper again. I believe!

Sadly, if past experience holds true, this thread will be locked for the duration of the sale and we'll all have to move to the sale thread.
I remember MrOrange saying that this thread will get locked during sale. So, yeah I think that's already a certain.

That happens when there are 2 threads in gaming... however, this is the first time we're in community when it happens, no?

Maybe they won't bother to lock this, and they'll leave the other thread open in gaming for all the idiotic questions that make my blood pressure skyrocket. ;)

If not, I suppose I'll be disappearing once again. Maybe I'll see you on the other side. :3

This sale sucks. Nothing is discounted!


That's the post that's gonna make me want to punch my monitor.

Odds are that will be one of the first responses. That and why has the store crashed as everyone tries to rushing in the door at the same time.

Don't worry. We're in Community now. Nobody will hear them scream.

Well isn't the Sale Thread going in Gaming and this thread getting locked as per usual or am I missing something?

We've survived dozens of 'at what time does the sale start' (why exactly is that the new thing, never was before?), we'll survive everything else too.

I like to see myself as a tolerant and patient chap but there's only so much asking of the same questions which could be answered themselves I can take.

Hey guys -- X game is 33% off as a daily... is it worth it?

Well crankyfrost is going to rear his head at some point in the sale thread and much worse than my off the cuff remark :p

You're doing it wrong.
Gouge out their eyes.

Sadly I'm not Mr Tickle and don't have the blessing of arms to reach out into the internet to make that a possibility.

Oh thanks. However it turns out to be sort of a non-issue now because I can't even purchase it from Gamestop with a non-US payment source. Maybe I can find someone to buy it for me.

I'm sure there are GAFers out there with a heart of gold who would help you with this.

If I wasn't headed out the door in a minute, I would do it.
If it's later on and you still need a hand, send me a message on Steam or something.

I'm only hoping for some cheap DLC for Dishonored and Sleepy Dawgs, price mistakes notwithstanding. Maaybe The Witcher 2 if it finally goes under 80% off...

If getting Witcher 2 specifically on Steam isn't too important to you, I can give you my extra GOG Witcher 2 key if you want it, just let me know via PM.

So just got an email from Zavvi with the subject saying 'New Strategy stuff coming soon...' Thinking this might have a deal on TW Attilia or something I checked out the body text...
Yeah, that's not quite right Zavvi. I don't know if they're trying to tell me something like buy a PS4 or that 'The Crew is a Strategy title, honest' .
 
I can understand that, but do you really need 2 versions of the same game? Are you going to replay the PS3 versions when you have the option of playing them on PC with higher res and fps? If not, why keep them?

You're right, I don't need them and I'll probably never play those versions (for those where I do get the superior PC versions). But if I don't need the money, I still like being able to look at the boxes on a shelf. I guess I'm old fashioned that way.
