LOL, Steam is crashing due to heavy traffic

Just keep refreshing I'm very glad that I bought Half Life Complete on Tuesday when it was 75% off, now it's only 50%. I made a good call for once...

 

[FriedPet]

I loved it. have you played the first one?

No I haven't. Wasn't even aware there's more than one :wtf:

 

[Toxin]

Bioshock Infinite, Don't starve, Hotline Miami...... After that we'll see. But I'm waiting for a proper Farcry3 special, at least 50%.

 

[MalicE]

No I haven't. Wasn't even aware there's more than one :wtf:

well my friend then you are in luck cause as far as I remember the 1st one comes bundled with Madness Returns

I would recommend you play it first

I wanna buy that buy can't because of region restrictions. Does anyone have any experience with workarounds for Gamefly? $10 isn't bad and I'm not optimistic that it'll be part of the Steam Summer Sale (no background sale on it at the moment)

Awesomeness, just got tropico 4 at 89% off. Went down to 80% almost immediately so must have been a glitch in their system.

Lucky you. It's a good game, enjoy

yeah I was surprised how much I enjoyed Tropico 3, so this was a great find. Now if only I could get through the other 50 games I still HAVE to play

Found a couple of hidden games at great discount I thought deserve a mention

Hydrophobia: Prophecy @ $1
http://store.steampowered.com/app/92000/
It is a short game (5 hours I think) and well worth the price. It is actually a pity that it is so short and a sequel would be nice.

The Bard's Tale @ $2.5
http://store.steampowered.com/app/41900/
Nice game with some humour (think it is a RPG)... Played it long time ago.

Watchmen: The End is Nigh (Part 1 + 2) @ $4.74 (or $2.5 per part)
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/13011/
Also a short action game which I would buy at that price.

 

[ViperGTI]

On another note, I'm looking at a couple of point-and-click adventure games. All of them are currently 75% off at $5 except for the last one. Can anyone comment / give feedback on these?

Chaos on Deponia
http://store.steampowered.com/app/220740/

Deponia
http://store.steampowered.com/app/214340/

The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav
http://store.steampowered.com/app/203830/

Memento Mori ($6.5)
http://store.steampowered.com/app/200490/?snr=1_7_15__13

Deponia

This is a fun game with a strange humour. It's worth it, but iirc indiegala had it cheaper before.
It's a good point and click in my opinion.

Chaos on Deponia

Haven't played this one before, but if it's anything like the first one, it'll be fun as well

Have you had a look at The unwritten tales of..... Can't remember the whole name now. It's $6.79 at the moment, but I'm hoping for a bigger discount maybe later on during the special.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/11450/?snr=1_7_7_151_150_1 <- apparently this is very good, so I bought the bundle for $5

Aaah, yes I started playing this yesterday. Its very casual but great fun, and you can't beat the price.
