STEAM: Deals Thread

[Chun Liroy]

Yeah, they were all $7 that entire bundle. I went to go check again to buy them like 15 mins later and they were at $30 :/

LAST DAY
http://www.gog.com/

ALL DEALS ARE BACK, over 40 of the things.
(Also, if you prefer a Steam key for FTL or Defender's Quest, the developer's website is pricematching GOG, and they give keys since it's through Humble Bundle.)

Anything not as a big deal is also 50% off (with a few exceptions), so you'll have to judge if you want something 1/2 off now, or hope it gets (or doesn't get, if you buy) a bigger discount on Steam.

Sonic Adventure 2/2: Battle is an amazing game. for ~3.50 cant go wrong. The chao raising part of that game alone is so fun.

iirc, the PC version is vastly inferior to just playing on an emulator

No actually it isn't, ePSXe still has a lot of problems with FFVII as I tried it recently. PC version is the fastest and best version of FFVII you can find, the ONLY problem it has is the fucking godawful music. Thankfully someone went ahead and changed the shitty MIDI-like OST to the proper OGG format it's suppose to be with the actual original soundtrack. All you do is copy/paste the files over and set, you have the best version of FF7 you can find.

epsxe works fine with ff7, you have to do a little research because there's an option you need to check specifically for ff7 to get those battle swirls to work and to get the black boxes off the cursor. Other than that it's pretty fucking stable, it's prob less work than copying a soundtrack over.

[Hitoshura]

I did, and it didn't fix any of the other issues that were present. Copying and pasting the the soundtrack over only took me less than a minute, all the files are labeled and ready to run. I haven't seen a faster running, better looking version, and this includes caking and layering on filters on the emulator. The graphics are solid despite the age, the font, UI and art are very crisp and clean as well, and the pre-rendered backgrounds pop out a bit more, everything just looks and runs a lot better with no worries about crashing or weird bugs.

Believe me, I didn't want anything to do with it once I heard the shitty soundtrack they didn't improve, but thank goodness someone finally did the right thing and released a fix. SE needs to go ahead and label it official.

GMG is ending with an all deal encore, last chance. Everything is split across six pages.

Twelve hours left on a GOG sale
http://www.gog.com/promo/rollercoaster_gem_2013

Rollercoaster Tycoon 1, 2, and 3 for 9 bucks. ($6.50 if you drop number three, but dropping 1 or 2 makes the price go up.)

[Adajer]

MFER. I just bought RCT2 from them on Thursday for $4.99. Is that the right price? I can't check it since I own it now.

[Cantih]

$3.99 on it's own, $2.49 as part of the full set.

You have roughly 24hrs to tell all your friends that you won't have any money left to party this month. It's about to begin:

Think it's worth noting, as usual, the only rule of summer sale.

Don't by anything unless it's on a flash sale. Even things that are marked down in a daily deal can end up on the flash sale, cheaper. Every flash deal is available once again on the final day too, incase you missed it.

Even this rule has exceptions. There tend to be pricing errors that last an hour at most, and there are often games that are $1-$5 that do not see deeper discounts so they're safe to buy even when not part of a daily deal. GAF usually has an excellent thread every year of the $1-$10 games every steam sale and I always dig from that pile first.

This warning won't stop dozens of people posting here to bitch about how they bought something for 50% off then saw it 90% off later.

Every single fucking time.
