  • The "buyer pays" box.
  • The buyer pays, otherwise it will be 2-3 cents more expensive than what it's nominally selling for.
  • Sleeping Dogs complete with all the DLC for $8. Worth it?

    If you like open world games, hong kong style action flicks, or kung fu and one-liners, then yes. It's a pretty fun game, and it has a decent amount of depth to it.

  • I bought the DLC a while ago and never got around to playing it. The sidequestsI thought were mostly pointless but I've never really been much for sidequests to begin with. The only ones I did were the street fight ones because I think it unlocked new moves? I can't really remember. As for the game itself I enjoyed it much more than other open world style games. The shooting is pretty solid and the hand to hand was surprisingly good and fun to do. Also when I discovered I could hold the door open while driving that was pretty fun for a while just checking people as I drove.
  • Got Planetary Annihilation. At least I can enjoy the game now without having to play people :-p plus lol 15 bucks for a game that was 60 and still isn't technically "officially" released :-p
  • I picked up a couple of "complete" packs for games I already own because they were cheaper than just buying the missing DLC.
  • Better to put 27, people that try to undercut you sell out too fast to actually matter.

    I'm at $10 from cards alone and still rising. Nothing worth spending it on that I didn't already have, though.

    Also, X rebirth is on flash sale right now(and for the next five hours from this post) for a decent price. If you're into freelancer, privateer, or other flying around and building things/trading/shooting nefarious sorts/being shot at for being a nefarious sort etc games, pick it up. It caught a lot of flak early on because it was broken to buggery, but it's fixed up pretty well now, and there's new features and content being added pretty frequently.

  • Tropico 4 is going for $5. That game had some 10/10 humor, and mechanically was also a lot of fun. Would recommend at $10. This is a steal.
  • Found out I missed out on my first 3 summer sale cards because I was level 7, not level 8. In previous sales, you only had to be level 5. Upon further analysis, Steam levels are a hilarious joke (I've never even thought about Steam levels for 2 seconds prior to this).

    Experience seems to be almost entirely based on crafting badges. Since the winter sale, I've only played through 3 games with drops, so I sold the cards for 2 of them and that paid for the Hotline Miami cards I didn't have. Crafted that and now I'm a cool kid at level 8.
  • WTF are Steam levels? How do you "craft" a badge?
  • Go to your badges, under the link for your profile.

    Steam will show you all games that have card drops.

    Also go into your inventory in click on a badge. To the right you will see a sell button and a badge progress button.
  • Oh, screw this shit. Aint nobody got time fo' dat.
  • Steam badges are fantastic, they are what makes selling cards marketable.
  • Risk of rain: yea or nay?
  • The online multiplayer requires ip + port number connection. Only downside so far.
  • Fun facts - if you sell enough shit on steam within a 12 month period, steam makes you promise that you're definitely really paying taxes/not a US citizen on that money you're gaining via the market.
  • I missed Awesomenaughts at 99 cents.
  • I'm not deep enough into Risk of Rain to have a completely formed opinion of it yet. So far, I'm happy I picked it up at $2.50 but I think I would have been unhappy getting it for much more.
  • I was on quite a streak not buying anything so far this sale, when Castle Crashers at $1.50 caught my eye. Then I realized there was a bundle for both that and Battleblock Theater for a whopping $2.50. Done. First blood has been drawn.
  • Saints Row 4 for $10?
  • Saints Row 4 for $10?

    Well worth it at that price.
  • I disagree. I found the humor to be too absurdist. The superpowers were gimmicky and the plot was a bore. It's still a perfectly good sandbox game, but I'd wait until it goes for $5, even though that probably won't be until the next sale.
  • Well I don't have Saints Row: The Third and that's $5.
  • Be sure to install SR3 to your C drive else it will not run.
  • I got Outlast but after the first few scares it just seems more like an adventure game / visual novel.

    K.
  • Well I don't have Saints Row: The Third and that's $5.

    And I found the humor to be significantly better, at that.
