That's actually what I found really attractive by watching streams speedrunning it. Looks really fun to speedrun.

[L.B.D.D]

i guess it still only appeals to people who enjoy getting better at a game for no real reason, or those who like time attack based games (racing etc)

but ME has a ton of tricks (some console/pc specific) and little nitpicky tricks that make it a great game for speedrunning (on top of the fact that it's a speed based game in the first place)

I enjoyed Mirror's Edge just playing it once casually too.

Quite short, but its quality and the uniqueness of the concept makes up for that even if you don't get into the speed trials side of things.
It's like Portal 1 in that regard.

Damn, I noticed there are a lot more summer sale games than the first 9 that it shows. Too many to keep up with...

edit: Guess all the others aren't daily deals.

[Kibblre]

You're right, every game has a baseline that it'll never go under. However, most games will at one point be on a daily deal, flash deal, or community vote deal.

I thought the general rule of Steam was "don't buy anything unless it's 75%+ off".

[XelNya]

Abandon your wallets yee who enter here

[dAnceguy117]

how the hell is spore & its expansion still being sold on steam (non-sale price) at $30? in the year 2014? what in the goddamn hell

please don't purchase spore. for your sake and for the sake of a better world where EA doesn't continue to increase its profit margin on a "game" which has very nice creation tools and anemic actual-game content.

[Izzy]

I don't know how that game even made it through QA.

Some newer released games might not reach 75%, but they still might go on daily/flash/community deals for around 50% usually from 33%.

Also, my team won yesterday. Too bad I didn't get any free games out of it.

Do things keep their discount even after the flash sale ends? All of the old ones still seem to have discounts.

i think their deal lasts another 24 to 36 hours after the flash/daily ends

cant go wrong with that price plus I enjoy games of that kind.

[Charu]

Wow, that kind of looks like a game right up my alley.

I think I will purchase it, haha.

[TC_Halogen]

getting Left 4 Dead 2; can't complain at $9.99 and personally I've been wanting it for a while, haha

[dAnceguy117]

props for waiting on that one, AJ. I felt scammed when I bought l4d1 at launch and a sequel was announced under a year later. I grabbed l4d2 for supercheap when it was on sale years back, but I've never touched it.

[Izzy]

Left 4 dead 2 has the potential to get 75% off from the next community choice voting.

[dragon890x]

I'm not looking forward to posting my loot list. This is by far the most I've ever spent on Steam.

oooooo, thanks for the info!

will be waiting patiently; I had no intentions on pulling the trigger right away since it says that sale is up through the 30th anyway, but I'm glad I know now!
