Alright, so I'm new to Steam summer sales and I was curious if stuff that is currently on sale for 20%-50% ever go on an ever better sale? Like, if I buy Skyrim Legendary Edition that's 40% off, I'm not gonna see that shit for 80% later on in the sale? Lol

it will prob appear as a flash sale for a bit cheaper between now and the end of the sale. do not feel bad about passing on a daily sale because you will also get another shot at it later.

Thanks.

Yeah, I think I'll just keep an eye out for the games I want that aren't already above 60-70% and pick them up on the last day if nothing better pops up.

Don't buy shit unless its a daily deal, flash sale or community choice.

Always wishlist stuff you're waiting on, you'll get email notifications if things become regular steam deals or daily/flash deals. The daily/flash deals are what you want to jump on immediately, just hold off until the last day of a sale or until the next sale otherwise.

Also search for things you want at steamprices, you'll get a good indicator of where it's been in past steam sales. If it's been discounted a lot throughout the year but it isn't right now, fucking wait.

So dailies are better than flash sales?

Deus Ex is on normal sale 50%. Guess I'll wait until last day of sales?

[Correction]

Flash sales offer identical discounts to daily deals. They just don't last the whole day.
Also do note that flash sales have a habit of coming back as daily deals and vice versa, particularly at the end of the sale.

I thought Flash was cheaper than daily? Guess not.

anyway is enslaved worth 5 bucks? looked interesting when it first came out

[Mazmaz]

Soooo don't buy flash sales?

For 5 bucks, yes.

Flash sales offer identical discounts to daily deals.

How did you come to that conclusion?

[Mazmaz]

I don't know, seems to be a general sentiment that you should wait until last day of sales no matter what.

No, thats for if it doesn't pop up on daily or flash. Last day of sale won't give any bigger discounts than those 2. Just don't buy a non special discounted game before the last day.

[Mazmaz]

Gotcha, thanks.

can anyone recommend anything similar to Orcs Must Die?

[Kiarax]

Sanctum 2 is only one I can think of off the top of my head but it's pretty crummy imo.
