I got Witcher 2 and don't know why. I won't get around to it for a few months. I think I'm nearing the arbitrary limit I set for myself. Unless I'm forgetting something, Rage is the last deal I'm waiting on.

was thinking about getting borderlands, but since all the broritos are waiting for 2, i guess i'll wait

oh wait, my laptop won't run 2

yeah, if you're looking to play Borderlands on PC long term, it's better to wait for 2.

And you never know. It might run fine on lower settings. It's a UE3 game built for consoles, and unless it's a hack job it shouldn't be too hard to run well.

XD Gaben has given me a shot at redemption! If Alan Wake wins, will the flash sale be midnight to 8 AM PST? If I'm asleep and a borito hooks me up with the $10 Franchise Pack, I will repay them later in the sale for sure.

Civilization collection is up as the newest flash sale. Has a bunch of Civilization stuff from III, IV and V. No gods and kings in the package but apparently that game went from 10% to 25% off

Naked city is probably the best case. One of the others is interesting (can't remember which one but it would be in the thread here). They're all pretty short and there's one which is basically just a shoot out. If you like the main game it's a good price.

Edit: Since youre starting from scratch, one thing to keep in mind is that they don't integrate into the story, you play them from the chapter menus iirc.

I used a random number generator with my remaining Steam friends who don't own Ys Origin. Congrats to Cormacaroni, I hope you wanted this game because you have it now.

For today, I'm getting the Arkham Franchise Pack, Orcs Must Die GOTY, and the Burnout Paradise Box, which I didn't see advertised but is 50% off.

Another thing, DiRT 2 is 75% off at $4.99. I highly recommend this game. Probably one of my favorite racing games of this generation. Support the dying racing genre.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #338 on:** July 15, 2012, 10:44:09 AM »

LA Noire the complete edition is the only thing I've bought so far. I wanted Anno 2070 but forgot to get it before it went off sale on the daily deal.

I hope the Hitman games get cheaper. I've never played one before and like to before Absolution.

I'm waiting on the HD collection for my PS3, because, weirdly enough, it seems like the PC version of Hitman: Contracts doesn't seem to be available on any DL service, but all the previous and succeeding games are.

it's much more streamlined and currently only Hawaii (for free) and Alaska (paid). The two free planes kinda suck tbh.

It's OK.

Do not get it if you enjoy the old Microsoft Flight Simulators. Instead drop some money on this and a cheap flight stick like the logitech 3d. Then look into VATSIMS for ATC and such and have a way better time.

Sale sucks for new games that should be bomba but aren't bomba enough because the original MSRP needs to go down like Ridge Racer/DarknessII. For smaller $15-20 stuff it's good though.

So far just grabbed Alan Wake complete edition for $10 & Q.U.B.E. for $3.74.

Same here. I impulse bought Tropico 4.

I'm setting a limit of a max of $15 a day from tomorrow on. I bought 18 games that will probably take me months if not years to go through. That doesn't even count the stuff I bought before like Skyrim.
