      I found http://store.steampowered.com/app/48220/?snr=1_6_4__421
      Heroes of might and magic vi which was one of my favourite games earlier in the series

      • ProspectiveDarkness on 13/07/2012 - 06:03

        I haven't played it, but Hard Reset for $3.75 looks to be worth getting. I bought Mirror's Edge when it was a weekend deal not long ago, and I think its a great game for $5. Also: The Witcher for $6. DX:HR is also highly recommended.
        /$0.02
        goes back to scouring the under $10 section…

        • Ace on 13/07/2012 - 06:06
          -6

          If you've played the demo of Mirrors Edge then you've played the whole game. I honestly wouldn't even bother spending a dollar on the game when there's a demo available.

        • ProspectiveDarkness on 13/07/2012 - 06:11

          I got 8 hours out of it, so I was pleased. Given the choice, I would probably still pay for it, anyway.

          Yep.. I told him that I would buy the uncensored version for him for $5 when the Steam sale starts but he insisted on buying the censored version himself for $20.

        • Michael15286 on 15/07/2012 - 01:43

          @Ace Hahaha :)
          Exactly. But he actually went so far as to say "you're waiting for something that probably won't happen"
          sigh… I even showed him that Reddit post…

    • brent3000 on 13/07/2012 - 11:14

      he brought the aussie L4d2 :( Poor guy… Thats the worst thing on steam :/ best would be to buy it from overseas or a key site :/

      • Elijha on 13/07/2012 - 12:10

        hey just thought with the R rating system coming out will they upgrade us Aussies?

        • iammimix on 13/07/2012 - 12:35

          doubt it. they'd need to modify & resubmit the game to get it reclassified
          why would they bother since it's pretty old already?

        • leonheart1 on 13/07/2012 - 12:39

          Why do they update it frequently?

        • Elijha on 13/07/2012 - 14:42

          yes they modify a few of the game types and add maps fairly regularly.

          @meeks
          I wouldn't think that they would need to do much after all they have a 'gore' version already for everyone else .. they just need to resubmit that.

          why would they bother since it's pretty old already? It's still a great game and I'm sure the publicity would sell more copies .. more users of L4D2 will help sell more L4D3 when that eventually comes out too.. any way heres hoping.

        • Ace on 13/07/2012 - 14:56
          +2

          The German version is censored as well BUT they can opt in to enable the gore via a patch that Steam offers. Aussies *should * be able to have the same option, but then again since it's already been classified/rated and whatnot so they probably won't want to review the game again.

        • Satoria on 13/07/2012 - 22:30

    Bit of a letdown, at the moment. Not as good as the winter sale, where a <50% off discount was a rare sight, and the Australian regional pricing is a bit of an annoyance.
    Still, some good bargains to be had!

    • apexplosive on 13/07/2012 - 08:21

        I know; in general, though, that's just my initial impression - that the discounts aren't as great as they were for the Holiday Sale. Don't get me wrong, they're not bad…

  • ProspectiveDarkness on 13/07/2012 - 05:48

    Some pack deals are noticeably absent from our store, but present on others (for the moment, at least):
    Valve Complete Pack
    Square Enix Hit Collection
    Bethesda Collection
    Activision Hits Collection.

    Other region's pack deals also have better percentage discounts than we do (in addition to the already better pricing). Can't help but feel a tad cheated, I suppose.

      Green man gaming are about to kick off a Winter sale, tongue in cheek at steam.

      From greenman gaming

      "Winter (Sale) is Coming

      Why winter you ask? We think it's important not to forget that we're living in a very small world these days, and our friends in the southern hemisphere are in winter now."

      I'm at the point where games I really want to play are $10 but I'm still not buying them. With so many serious best-game-of-all-time candidates already sitting unplayed in my steam, I know I won't run out until the Holiday sale (where they'll probably be $5 or $7.50).

        To be fair, that Amazon one is shipped, whilst this is a Digital Copy, so much, much easier to deal with. I wonder why Amazon has no Digital copy of Skyrim - something of a disappointment.

      Probably steam sale fatigue.

      Typical OzBargainer-gamers have a conditioned pavlovian saliva response for the big steam sales by now, but we've already bought more games than we can ever play, and aren't wowed by any discount less than 80%.

        My back catalogue is terrible. Around only half were ever downloaded, and maybe half of those played seriously and 10% played to completion. I have more games than I can play for the rest of my biological life.

          That is why I still buy physical games. The self-induced guilt-trip brought about by staring at my still shrink wrapped copy of "Duke Nukem Forever" sitting on my shelf may one day compel my masochistic side to "play it".

    Are any of the indie games any good? I saw terreria for $2.50, so I bought that… well actually the "4 pack" for $7.50, since the kids have steam accounts too. I've no idea how to gift it to them yet though.

    That and Portal 2 for $5 were the only things that have caught my eye so far.

    EDIT - I'm still playing Ghostbusters from their Halloween sale :(

    • Black Feed Dog on 13/07/2012 - 09:35

      apart from stuff you mentioned, i've bought audio surf, maybe you should check it out and make sure you're not interested in other ones in the day 5 bundle, now im waiting for oil rush from day 2 bundle, day 4 is also decent, a valley without wind looks kinda interesting like terraria and sword & sworcery is a great game even comes with soundtrack

    As with any Steam Sale, WAIT for the daily deals. If the item you want has not hit a daily deal, just grab it on the final sale. I would hazard a guess that ARMA 2 CO will be at 50% off sometime during the sale, so no rush.
