Steam Deals Thread: Tropico 4 + Borderlands 2 - Counterstrike

[Caine]

In for The Walking Dead and Saints Row the Third Season Pass.  I'd grab the M&B Napoleonic Wars add-on but they didn't discount it like the other titles.

Showing up at 2.49 on the page.  Maybe they hadn't finished updating the pages yet?

Also in for the Walking Dead.  Were it not for the last RPG I bought to revisit going untouched in my backlog, i would get that Two Worlds pack from yesterday too.   

[mirage775]

I'm gonna attempt to buy Saints Row: The Third and Darkness II (wanted both for a while)...

Bought one and got the other gifted

yep, it's showing as that now, just took a bit longer than the other titles.

Flash sale update:  Vessel $3.74 for the next 6 hours.

I'm glad I bought Saints Row 3, it's been really fun so far.  Everything is over the top crazy.  The opening 2 missions were nuts...in a good way.

Awesome!  My brother is gonna gift it to me!  Looking forward to playing it!  Did you get all the DLC's with it?

[EngineNo9]

Yeah, Saints Row 3 is a great game, so if you have any interest in it you should definitely jump on that deal.  The DLC wasn't satisfying for the price I originally paid for the pass, but for 1/4 of that price I think it's probably worthwhile if you want more activities.

Flash sale update:  Vessel $3.74 for the next 6 hours.

I picked it up when it was half off a while back and recommend it fully for those looking for a liquid and physics based platformer/puzzler. 

[CeeKay]

Bastion won the Community Choice round, and it's $3.74 for the next 8 hours.  Looks like the Monkey Island games are on flash sale now.

[CeeKay]

Arcania + Gothic Pack is up for the next 6 hours.  $12.49 for the pack or 75% off the individual titles.

Yeah, Fallout is a franchise sale - Fallout 3 GOTY for $5. I'm doing my best not to double dip on games I have on XBOX but haven't played

If I ever play the game and expansions at all it will be an achievement - I'll move on to another game before i try mods.

plus, flash sale update:



(last image in the flash sale should be Shogun 2)

[JCC]

WTF?! On the front page of Steam it says Fallout NV is $9.99. I bought it and got charged $23.99?! It STILL says it's $9.99 on the front page! What gives?!

Edit: Now it's gone up to $23.99. I swear it still said $9.99 for a good 5 minutes after I bought it... bastards.

your best bet is to contact Steam support and they should be able to help, probably with either with a full or partial refund.

[JCC]

Yep, already sent. If they don't refund me I will just dispute the charge with the credit card.

Keep in mind if you do this, your Steam account will be suspended and you'll lose access to all your games. You'll have to get a CS rep from Steam to fix this and remove the disputed game. I don't know if this is worth $14 of your time, but that's your call...

Agreed

Thanks for the info. In light of said info, I probably won't dispute the charge. I don't care if they don't want to give me the $10 price, but I do want them to give me a refund if they won't. After I saw that I was actually charged $24, I even fully exited Steam and restarted it, and their front page still showed the price as $10. Then after I submitted my service request it had gone up to $24. I haven't heard back from them yet.

It's been showing up as $11.99 for me all day. 

Also, why is Arma 2 CO still the number 4 top seller a few days in?  It's been $4 cheaper at amazon for a few days now.  does nobody cross check for better prices?  At this rate, why would Steam lower the price on it any more if it just keeps selling. 

[CeeKay]

since AssCreedRev came up again I'm tempted again, and the Indie V bundle is tempting as well for Ys, Gemini Rue and Tiny Bang.

Apparently Amazon has been having trouble keeping keys for ArmA 2 CO in stock, so people are probably just grabbing the Steam version instead of waiting.

[CeeKay]

missed the switch, but Amnesia The Dark Descent is $4.99 for the next 8ish hours.

Running out of flash sale ideas already? All three have been daily deals already I think.

[Victoria Raverna]

Fable 3 is up for flash sale.

Since the game is not available for my country, can someone here help me by gift Fable 3 Understone Quest Pack DLC to me. It is only $1.24 during the flash sale, but the sale end less than 2 hours from now.

plus some flash sales have become daily deals, plus the Community Choice choices have overlapped.

I'd offer to help but I'm away from the pc for a bit and Steam Mobile keeps crashing for some reason.  It fires up and then crashes when I try and check the catalog.

Not that it affects me, but apparently you aren't allowed to play this in Germany?
"Notice: Capcom requires that this game will not install or update when connecting from an IP address attributed to Germany."

Are Germans pro zombie or something?  Zombie sympathizers?  I just think that's a silly ban.

Sure thing.  It's sitting in my inventory, PM me your email or add me as a Steam friend and I can send it your way.

Sky Rim is $29.79 for the Community Choice.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/72850/

Flash sale update:

[CeeKay]

and the Community Choice vote is almost a repeat- Witcher 2 and Batman were already up for the vote.  I halfheartedly voted for Risen 2, but I doubt I'd grab it at 33% off.

[Zarkon]

Too many damn repeats in the daily/flash/choice sales.  It's making the sale pretty damn boring, to be honest.

Ze Germans aren't a fan of over the top violence in their video games.

[Roguetad]

I also voted for Risen 2, I had already picked up the others from previous steam deals.

Alright, who broke the Steam store?  It doesn't load on my iphone or my pc.
