Has Far cry 3 and Blood dragon been on sale with more than 25% off yet?

It was in a Flash deal on the first or second day AFAIK. I want Blood Dragon, but unfortunately it didn't register in my head that it would also be on sale in addition to the main game. I'll have to hope it goes on a daily at some point.

Thanks Just bought 'em.

Awesome!

Also lucky bugger! My net speed is garbage. I'm getting max download speeds of 600kbs! Can often average 200 - 400 at peak times

For downloading a big game I usually leave the PC running all night while I'm asleep and its often not even done by the time I get up the next day

I download at a solid 10 from steam. Tis lovely! Buy a game, downloading, make a tea. Come back and done. PLAY ALL THE GAMES!!!

This is also bad for my wallet... As I know buying a game means I can try it in minutes...

I've been away from the gaming scene for a few years, how does Deus Ex fair?

I thought it was absolutely brilliant. Genuine stealth play and very slick. A steal at those sale prices.

I would add a hint of caution and say that while a good game the boss fights are truly terrible and ruined the experience for me

Yes I'm hopping they both go on a daily soon, with at least 40% off, 50% would be nice

Manage around 1.4MB/s at work on laptop but half that at home

It's an RPG from the developers of the Gothic series - if you've played Gothic, think that with pirates but nowhere near as good.

Destination · 18 Jul 2013 at 13:30

How good is Gothic? I see 1 2 3 and Arcania can be bought for a tenner?

What are they like?

Is Tropico 4 worth buying at £5? Or getting the version with all the DLC for £6?

Definitely! One of my favourite games ever, the DLC make it even more better!

Enjoyed Saints Row: The Third, already had it from the THQ humble bundle a while ago but it seemed rude not to get the full package for under a tenner, Pitched out a small grave for my wallet in the corner of the garden

I'm start to dig my own grave mate... I told the misses that I wouldn't be purchasing anything this steam sale... so far I have bought 7 games including Dishonored and Cities in motion 2... she really is going to kill me lol

I tried to tell myself that i was going to abstain from this steam sale, but as always it just seems to be "rude" not to buy it at that price! Best bargain of the sale for me had to be DE:HR for £2.25, i don't think people understand how bad the steam sales are

No I get it, really I do! Last year I was on holiday and I managed to get wireless and text my best mate to purchase games for me and then gifted them to me when I was back... I know, I have a problem

So, Tropico, Says it uses Kalypso Launcher, Does it not just launch though Steam or is this another Farcry 3 Uplay style thing?

Terrible in what sense? I mean yeah they were of place in terms of the pacing of the game and a bit pointless, but it didn't take long to get them out of the way and forget about them... A minor irritation really not something I'd caution anyone about (IMO)

Yea, they were a bit meh but I wouldn't say they were that bad really.

The problem I had with the game was more that it was so close to legendary but missed out in some key areas: http://tumblr.v4nt0m.com/post/33090392840/three-reasons-why-deus-ex-human-revolution-just
