Saints Row 3 might not be bad. I own the game, but I don't think I own any of the DLC. So, I wouldn't mind snagging it for pennies on the dollar!

I have Saints Row 3 and have played it for about 20 hours, it's a lot of fun. The main quest story missions are silly and absurdly over the top, but in a good way. The lowbrow humor is actually funny.

The "season pack" DLC is the one to get, it should be under $10 on sale. It includes a new car and motorcycle, and (more important) new content including a pretty good 3-mission sci-fi B-movie spoof.

Okay, 3 new games to vote on:

Trine 2
Magicka
Limbo

That's 5 out of 6 games that I already have. Limbo is the only one I don't have. So, voted for it.

This next vote is easy. Trine 2. :D

If you don't agree, download the demo and see how awesome it is.

Trine 2 vs. Magicka is a hard comparison. Both are good games, but Magicka has been on sale a ridiculous number of times. Trine 2 has only been on sale once that I recall (I bought it then) and I believe that was only 50% off (vs. the current possible 75% off sale).

EDIT:

Oh and of course, the Saints Row 3 DLC isn't even on sale! I would consider that if you might vote on a game just for the DLC. $25 for SR3 + DLC isn't bad, but I already own the game.

So, if you just want Magicka's DLC, you may be a bit bummed to find it not reduced as much as the game. :p

Sorry took a little bit to update, had to go out and get Chinese food and eat :D

You know, I'm pissed, I voted for Saint's Row 3 hoping to get some of the DLC for 75% off instead the DLC is still stuck at 33% off (unless you buy the franchise bundle)

Deus HR sale is over and Warlock Master of Arcane is now a flash sale.

Warlock rocks, if you dig civilization type games you should like it.

A pox on all who voted for SR3 for the flash deal. I have a non-steam copy of B:AC and have been waiting for a cheap deal on it to get it in my Steam library.

Yeah, I'll buy again to get a game into Steam o_O

Is $12.49 for Saints Row: The Third a good deal?

And what about DLC? I kinda just want the Genki outfit and car which is in the Funtime Pack for $2, but Funtime is included in Premium Pleasure which looks like it just includes cheats for $5. That brings it at $17, but then spending another $8 and getting the Franchise pack with all DLC might be worth it. The DLC for this game is kinda ridiculious.

BUY. NOW.

It's more stealth and guns than your average WW2 shooter, but it's awesome!

Deus Ex is mine. Thanks to the peer pressure of this message board.......and what put it over the top was my teenager sent me a text on my way home: "Dad, can I have Deus Ex? It's $7.50. Rated M for all the usual stuff, but I won't let it turn me into a bad kid"

I said yes (nice of him to bring up the rating, normally he tries to skirt the issue until I ask about it).

To note, I had to close Steam and reopen it for the DLC to even show up. The Steam Store said that I owned it, but going to the DLC section of Hard Reset's properties did not list anything.

When I logged into Steam, it automatically started downloading the DLC for me......when I go to the DLC store page it says I already own it. Thanks Flying Wild Hog!!!!!!

You just turned peer pressure into kudo points with your kid!

Yeah, can't remember which sale and the exact price, but it was a daily deal before. Hopefully it will be again, though it might not simply because of DayZ increasing the sales so damn much lol

That's what I was thinking. Arma II was the #1 selling game (before the Summer sale started anyway). Why would Steam put it on sale? Doesn't seem like they'd need to (same with Skyrim).

Yeah, but there is good hope, because just like Skyrim. Skyrim was a daily deal during the holiday sale and it was the top selling game since its release. So there is hope :D

Because no one gives a crap about ARMA 2! This should be a $10 game. They couldnt even give it away for free before DayZ was released. They should grow the user base as much as they can before someone does this type of thing better. And finally, I dont want to pay full price. :biggrin:

Isn't it possible SR3 will come up on a daily deal later where the franchise pack is $15?

Hard to say, I honestly think if something is a flash sale/deal it wont be a daily deal and if it is it wont be cheaper then the previous deal in the same sale.

Yay! Nothing much for me today, but hoping to get a couple things. Hopefully AC: Revelations at more of a discount one of the days.

Only reason I've not taking a beating yet in the sale is I already own 85% off it lol
