It is getting hot in here, almost... steamy: Steam Summer Sale 2012 Thread

[Ramary]

The Yearly Steam Summer Sale is starting on July 12th. (I know this because I am psychic*). I am gonna update the thread with the deals each day because I am a nice guy.

So what are you guys hoping for? How will you shoot your wallets into Gabe's mouth this time?

Originally, I was mainly hoping for ARMA sale for DayZ but I head DayZ might spin off into it's own game so who knows.


*By "Psychic" I mean an indie dev whoes game will be on sale said the 12th, and the current midweek sale is ending at 10am steam time on the 12th instead of the usual 4pm.

[EVILNess]

I honestly have nothing on my plate that I want to purchase. I am kinda hoping this thread will bring some potential gems to my notice.

Also, Walking Dead is a spectacular P&C Adventure game and has *GASP* REPLAY VALUE. So if it goes on sale and you like P&Cs and incredibly depressing stories full of grey morality, snap it up!

[Bells]

i'm keeping my eyes open for some good sales, but mostly only the greatest of deals could make me put my hands on my pockets right now...

[Flarecobra]

Nothing going on here.

[mauve]

Depending on what goes on sale, I might keep an eye out for Harley Quinn's Revenge (yeah, because I totally haven't sunk enough hours of my life into that franchise already...), or maaaaybe Stacking, Quantum Conundrum, or Terraria. Possibly Killing Floor, since you folks tend to play it on Steam Nights occasionally, but it's not too high on my list of priorities. I dunno. I don't really have much of a wishlist right now. Hell, I've yet to even finish Skyrim.

[MuMu]

Definitely Getting:
Arkham City
Fortune Summoners
At least one sequel to Creed II

May be getting:
Rayman Origins
Human Revolution

Will Probably Not Get but Sis is Really Excited Despite Not Playing Games:
Skyrim

Dunno what else.

Rayman: Origins (12 hours remaining)

[Ramary]

Yeah I'm not posting flash sales, or I would have to be here all day. Feel free to do so other people.

[Ryong]

I've been thinking of Portal 2 but I'm terrible at the first so I dunno. And the games I want to buy aren't on enough of a sale.

( Skyrim, Torchlight 2, pretty much )

Edit: FFFFFFFFFF I bought Ys Origin last week for $20 and now it's $12.

[Arcanum]

Well the sale lasts until the 22nd, and the general rule of thumb with Steam sales is "unless it's a daily (or, now that they added it, flash) deal, wait until the last day."

[Ramary]

Torchlight 2 won't go on sale considering it is not even out, and Portal 2 is enjoyable even if you think you are bad at it, play co-op with someone if you can. Skyrim will get a daily deal, I assure you.

Remember rule 1 of Steam Sales, don't buy anything till the last day unless it is a daily deal or a flash sale.

Edit: Arcanum approved advice.

[mauve]

Oh man, it's just like being back in girl scouts except I don't have to sell cookies or build campfires or learn about saving the environment!!

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Really tempted by some of those bundles, like the THQ one. But my fundage is practically nil right now and this new job I've started won't pay until a few weeks from now. Even then my pc is still not up to scratch and most of my money is first and foremost going into a new car as soon as I have enough, before I even think about getting a new pc.


Damn you Steam sale, why must you taunt me so!?

[Arcanum]

Oh man, it's just like being back in girl scouts except I don't have to sell cookies or build campfires or learn about saving the environment!!

Wait, really? Are you sure there's no fire safety badge? Does this mean I burned down half of my computer desk for nothing? Dammit.

[Bells]

Borderlands for under 8 bucks... this late in the game cycle, you guys think it's worth it?

[Karrrrrrrrrrrresche]

I dunno. It really depends on if you can convince three smucks to play it with you.

[Ramary]

Borderlands for under 8 bucks... this late in the game cycle, you guys think it's worth it?

Not daily deal, not flash sale, not last day. Hold off on it till then.

[MuMu]

Day 1 Damage:
Human Revolution Augmented
Rayman
Legend of Fae

And voted for the Arkham City discount meaning there may be more coming :(

[Bells]

Thanks! Might pick up Terraria, since its just $2.5

[Revising Ocelot]

Stupid flash sale for Rayman Origins. How will I possibly be able to tell if it'll go on a daily sale for a potentially bigger discount now?

For that matter, my lack of 360 controller for PC or similar probably would make it a subpar experience anyway. Arrrrrgh.

[Ryong]

For anyone wanting to get Ys the Oath in Felghana: It'll be in a bundle one of these days.

Edit: Audiosurf + Gemini Rue + Greed Corp + The Tiny Bang Story + Ys: The Oath in Felghana for $10.

[Arcanum]

New Flash Deal: Warlock - Master of the Arcane
User Vote Deal: Saints Row 3

[EVILNess]

User Vote Deal: Saints Row 3


Goddamn it! Why did you fail me Steam Users? I voted for Batman, Dammit!

[Revising Ocelot]

Goddamn it! Why did you fail me Steam Users? I voted for Batman, Dammit!

I voted that as I already owned Witcher 2 & Arkham City. Vote Trine 2 now.

[Arcanum]

Part of me thinks that the alternate choices for the user deal are still going to go on sale, maybe during the last day or two, and the user vote is just to get the deals you want sooner.

[Osterbaum]

Damn, I kinda want to try out Crusader Kings II and Legends of Grimrock, but I think I'll hold off for now.

Vote for Trine 2!

[Ryong]

I will not hold out any hope for buying Skyrim on this sale as the only price I'm willing to pay is $20 and they sure as hell aren't doing 66% off on it.

Meanwhile, maybe I'll get legend of grimrock, I'll see.

[Revising Ocelot]

I will not hold out any hope for buying Skyrim on this sale as the only price I'm willing to pay is $20 and they sure as hell aren't doing 66% off on it.


The obvious solution is to wait two years or so until all the DLC is out, and pick up the inevitable GOTY/Ultimate Edition for a pittance.

[Bells]

Also, it's bound to drop in price as soon as the online game gets closer to release.. i'm guessing it will be a nice Christmas discount on Skyrim this year.

[Loyal]

Picked up Terraria. Pretty neat stuff, though I haven't had the chance to do anything interesting yet because I can't go very far in either direction without getting swarmed by Eaters.

How does Multiplayer work on Terraria?

http://terraria.wikia.com/wiki/Multiplayer

We had a Hamachi server set up ages ago, but I'm not sure of its current status.

[Aldurin]

Pip was the dude with the server for servering, so ask him.

Also new vote is up, not sure what to vote for that is not-Brink (UPDATE: Voted for Brink because Stronghold 3 somehow earned a metascore less than 50 and Ghost Recon seems 'meh'.)

EDIT: I also need some help with LEET IP HAX so I can see what two of the flash deals are (they say not available in my region). Or you can just say what they are (the not-Star wars and not-Backtothefuture). Lol valve placeholders.

[Revising Ocelot]

I'm pretty sure Ghost Recon is a lot, lot less meh than Brink.


Anyway, you haven't needed Hamachi for Terraria since forever. If you want to cheat a little, you can download a map viewer for whatever maps you generate so you can locate where all the tasty minerals are. Beats fruitlessly digging around for hours on end like Minecraft.

[Bells]

Messiah of Might and Magic for under $3 is a true blast from the past... i just might give it a pass, cause it's a pretty dated game and i don't really see myself finishing it. Trine 2 on the other hand seems pretty cool, i have Trine 1 and love it, but 2 has Coop Multiplayer? How does that work?

BTW, the Bethesda pack is totally worth it for people who don't have most of those games...

[A Zarkin' Frood]

It's like direct IP connection, I think. But you have to be part of a shitty community to get a good server it seems. And then the people on those servers are shitty too.

Most of those servers use third party server software which has tons of features necessary for playing with shit people. But last I checked it also fucks up bits of the game. so it's best to play with the two or three people you know who also have the game.

Also: for obvious reasons Terraria is more fun when you still don't know what the fuck is happening. I also recommend not using any map viewers and shit until you've got some decent mileage out of at least one character.

[akaSM]

We had a Hamachi server set up ages ago, but I'm not sure of its current status.


Meister had the server I played in, he had to shut it down because people weren't playing anymore IIRC. I?d be up for some multiplayer shenanigams if they ever happen again.

[Azisien]

I bought Portal 2 for some people, but nothing for myself yet. I actually don't need many games this year. Shogun 2 eats my gaming life entirely, and I'm still working through Saints Row The Third.

I recommend both, by the way! The former for grand strategy, the latter for mindless awesome.

Vote the Darkness 2 for the next vote sale, since it's a very decent game with potential multiplayer shenanigans. RAGE doesn't bring that much and burns out right when you expect it to bring more and Revelations is basically a copy/paste of the last two Assassin Creed games in terms of gameplay.

[akaSM]

Binding of Isaac 75% off

Everyone should buy this and the DLC. It's awesome fun for only 2 USD!

EDIT: Honestly, it's best to save the expansion for when you've cleared most of the vanilla game, but since it's also on sale right now you should probably go for it.

EDIT 2: Also, buy the soundtrack, motherfuckers.

[Thadius]

Also, buy the soundtrack, motherfuckers.

This, but don't put it on a music device that you use to lull yourself to sleep.

Horrible nightmares

[mauve]

Man, I love looking at my Friends History page during Steam Sales and seeing walls of text detailing how each and every one of you has emptied their wallets each day. XD

[akaSM]

SSFIV:AE is a flash deal...and it's 75% off....must...resist...urge...to buy D:

[Ryong]

To all people potentially wanting to try out E.Y.E.:

No.

Don't buy it.

It's terrible, not terrible like "these glitches are hilarious", terrible terrible.

[Bells]

I still think Street fighter X Tekken is coming down in price by Christmas, so i would hold off for it, it's just as good, but has more stuff

[akaSM]

And if anyone has a crazy urge to buy E.Y.E., ask, me, I got a couple extra copies. I'll save your monies.

And both are gone.

[Ramary]

And if anyone has a crazy urge to buy E.Y.E., ask, me, I got a couple extra copies. I'll save your monies.

If you don't mind I really wanted to try it, since people's opinions on it are crazy mixed (some say it is BEST THING EVER others say it is shit).

[A Zarkin' Frood]

SSFIV:AE is a flash deal...and it's 75% off....must...resist...urge...to buy D:

I was not able to resist, it is downloading, and since this is a game I've been waiting for to come on sale I'm a little sad I don't really have time to play games anymore today.

[akaSM]

OK, if anyone else wants SSFIV:AE, STOP. 4 packs are cheaper, we could get one of those.

I got the game :3

[Karrrrrrrrrrrresche]

And if anyone has a crazy urge to buy E.Y.E., ask, me, I got a couple extra copies. I'll save your monies.

I wouldn't mind having a copy either.

[Arcanum]

So who grabbed Trine 2? More importantly, who grabbed Trine 2 and wants to play co-op?

[Bells]

Downloading it now!

[Shyria Dracnoir]

Got the Killing Floor bundle and currently have two guest passes. Let me know on Steam if anyone here wants them, but better do it fast because I'm off to advertise.

[Revising Ocelot]

So who grabbed Trine 2? More importantly, who grabbed Trine 2 and wants to play co-op?

I'm currently at level 3.

What's a Killing Floor guest pass consist of, by the way?

[akaSM]

I'm currently at level 3.

You get the full game for a set amount of days. Like those free weekends Steam does.

[Bells]

I'm almost done downloading Sanctum, hope it's as fun as it looks!

[Ryong]

I'm almost done downloading Sanctum, hope it's as fun as it looks!

The shotgun is terrible. Everything else is nice, including the text-to-speech, so you no longer need to play moonbase alpha for those shenanigans.

Edit: I got The Binding of Isaac and a key on DotA 2 because of the steam summer sale chests...Which I may end up being able to trade for some crazy good shit, so it's a good call actually.

[MuMu]

I'm almost done downloading Sanctum, hope it's as fun as it looks!

It's great the first time you play it with friends. And that's it.

The only thing stopping Orcs Must Die from being the incredibly superior defense game is the lack of Multiplayer and even then it's still better.

Day 2 Damage:
From Dust
Street Fighter IV Arcade
Isaac
Half-life 2 stuff
A 5$ game that I traded for Sonic Generations with some guy.

what's happening to me :crying:

[A Zarkin' Frood]

I'm kinda tempted to buy a lot of copies of Isaac to give them to random people I don't even know. Because that seriously is one of my favorite games of recent times.

Oh yeah, so far I got Trine 2 (even though I didn't play the first and have no idea what the game is even about) and SSF4 Arcade (even though I suck at fighters, but I love them)

(and Rayman Origins for RO who'll give me a hopefully censorship free version of L4D2 in return)

[Ryong]

I got The Binding of Isaac and opened a chest on DotA 2.

I am now looking for someone to trade the item for a game.

( It's a Dragonclaw Hook and I want Skyrim and I know it's just wishful thinking but whatever but hey, if anyone wants to buy me Skyrim I can give in return an item that's worth $5~20 )

[akaSM]

No, I'm not telling you what's wrong with this image.

http://i.imgur.com/lXSZV.jpg

[McTahr]

Numbers is hard.

In non-summer sale Steam related news: I have a copy of Dungeon Defenders and Nuclear Dawn. First to dibs gets it. I was hanging onto one for a friend who never got around to playing and just never cared about the other.

Sidenote: I am under a boil water area in my area, so instead of drinking boiled water like a sane person, I'm clearing out my booze cabinet because I'm thirsty or something. You should, ideally, beat me to the liquor cabinet with your dibs.

Claimed.

[Aldurin]

I call bullshit, especially since I voted Metro.

[Arcanum]

Dibs on dungeon defenders!

[Bells]

Uh cool, if you don't mind i would take the Nuklear Dawn, was eyeballing it just the other day

[MuMu]

I wanted F3AR :(

WHY AM I SAYING THIS I ALREADY WENT OVER MY BUDGET AND HAVEN'T EVEN BOUGHT WHAT I WANTED YET

also, the current poll is shit. Voted qube because is the only one I don't have even though I most likely won't buy it.

[Karrrrrrrrrrrresche]

THAT'S OKAY
F3AR KINDA SUCKS.

[Ryong]

You fuckers should buy Ys Origin, it's 60% off now.

I feel like an idiot for not waiting.

[Revising Ocelot]

I feel like an idiot for not waiting.


First rule of Steam sales...

[Ryong]

The thing is, there weren't any plans for Ys Origin to go on sale, just the other Ys, or so everyone was saying.

[Revising Ocelot]

Ignorance is not a valid defense!

[Ryong]

Okay, fine.

Still.

Grab Ys Origins, it's good.

And maybe if one of you gets the Bethesda pack and already has Skyrim maybe give it to me I'll give you a totally bitchin' dragonclaw hook for DotA 2.

[Bells]

Hey, since a lot of you now have blacklight retribution, how about we set a game later today ?

I mean, it's the ONE shooter you all have that i kinda don't suck at it...

Just a heads up about Frozen Synapse btw, when you buy it, you actually get 2 copies, so try and set that up for other people who want the game.

[Ryong]

Welp, guess I won't get Skyrim, then.

[A Zarkin' Frood]

I got Frozen Synapse for 90& off and got it for like... 2,50 Eurobucks. Now it's 80% off, but whatevs. No idea how the game is, I'll probably not play it until months from now when I'm too bored with my thousand other games and various obligations.

Also, Skyrim just really isn't worth that money for me, somehow.

[Bells]

Borderlands is not lower, it's the same price it was when the sale started...

Still highly on the fence on that one... if it was that price WITH the DLC, i would be all over it though...

Also, the new Pool seems to be just picking the games that weren't picked before and put those on a the pool... weird.

[Ramary]

$7.49 for GOTY edition is as low as it ever goes Bells, and that is what it is for me right now.

[Bells]

$7.49? Mine is showing up $5.61 !

http://i49.tinypic.com/10wm9h1.jpg

[MuMu]

Voted L4D2 for IG(And because both other options were already on discount on the last days)

And goddamn, I'll hold off on Origins. For the first time I have too many games to play, still have to buy Arkham City and Fortune summoners, and will probably replay Oath in Felgana before buying the next one.

[Arcanum]

Might as well spam this here one last time before I resort to steamgifts.com. Does anyone want Bit.Trip.Runner or VVVVVV or Dino D-Day?

e- Also I grabbed the Red DLC for Frozen Synapse, which apparently has co-op against AI matches. So if anyone wants to play that, let me know. Or if you want to do a versus match. I haven't touched the game in forever (and I barely played it when I first bought it) so I'm probably just as terrible as someone new to the game.

[McTahr]

Just a heads up about Frozen Synapse btw, when you buy it, you actually get 2 copies, so try and set that up for other people who want the game.

If anyone happens to not want their spare copy, I would certainly dig that. Nothing to offer in return. Just gave away my other freebies in this thread, derp.

[MuMu]

fuck, caved in and bought Ys, Skyrim and Dead Island

[Jagos]

Giving away freebies.

Portal

Torchlight I

Cthulu Saves the World

Breath of Death

[BB]

Knights Of The Old Republic is the one everyone loves, right? It's on a flash sale for £1.74 RIGHT NOW if you go with haste.

[mauve]

I'd take Torchlight, if it's compatible with Vista 64.

[akaSM]

IF anyone's tempted byt the Renegade Ops sale, I got 1 copy sitting in my inventory.

[Bells]

If you don't mind, i would love to have one of those if noone else wants it

Actually, considering the amount of games i got as gifts from you guys, coming the Christmas sale this year i'mma gonna go Full Santa in this forum and spread some of the joy

[Ryong]

I've yet to return the joy of L4D2 that was bestowed upon me by Arcanum and I would do the same had I a job. That is not the case, unfortunately.

[BB]

Does anyone have a spare copy of Ys floating around from the flash sale? I'll give you four refined metals for it (not a good offer I know but it's all I have)

[Ryong]

Upon an extensive night of wondering how fucking much are my TF2 items worth I found out that unless I find someone who is either a)kind or b)an idiot I'm not getting Skyrim even if I throw in 90% of my TF2 backpack as at best it's worth $17, including the $5 item I have from DotA 2.

The fact that, if my life depended on my trading skills, I'd be dead several times over doesn't help at all.

[Aldurin]

Hm, A Valley Without Wind is 40% off during the sale. I would definitely recommend keeping an eye out for its flash deal or whatever since it's definitely fun and has been reworked to be funnerer over the last two big updates. It'd also be interesting if we could arrange some small groups of relentless pillaging since there's easy co-op built-in.

But should no sale come up then just buy it on the last day, since the current price is reasonable for it.

[MuMu]

Day 3 Damage:

Do you have a group or are you just one of the public regiment? I'd reaaaaally rather have a group or clan or something.

[Jagos]

Fuck I bought Saint's Row 3 and Trine after buying $30 worth of games yesterday...

[Bells]

Steam tells me that 9 NPF'ers have Warband, which means we COULD try to setup a small squad sometime.

Hell, it would be better than my usual medieval strategy of Spamming arrows on the Choke point on the map, and my Napoleonic strategy of going Engineer and building a small fort around the team canon... or being the drum boy.

...i love being the drum boy

[Sage Harpuia]

Do you have a group or are you just one of the public regiment? I'd reaaaaally rather have a group or clan or something.
It's a public regiment for the NA Hardcore Tuesday and Friday LInebattles. There's a Steam group for it I think.... : http://steamcommunity.com/groups/Pub_Regiment

Not to brown-nose too much, but the public regiment I'm rolling with are more discipline than about 80% of real regiments(clans) in the NA scene, which is kinda.. sad in retrospect. Mostly because the pubs are drilled with a simplified Prussian Line Infantry manual for about 15 min before the actual event starts. Anyways, it's a great best to start off getting into the community events since everyone can be accepted into the pub regiment from disgraced leaders of regiments, muted 12 year olds and even Quebecois. As long as the buggers behave, of course.

More youtube videos of the public regiment !(but as line infantry):

[Azisien]

I went into this sale thinking I would spend next to nothing, and I'm up around $100 already. It's a 50/50 split games for me/games as gifts, but still. There's so much time left! And I'll be on vacation for the second half of the sale, meaning I will have AS MUCH TIME AS I WANT to check sales and ponder how much money to throw away.

Score so far:

Payday: The Heist
Warhammer 40k: Space Marine
Tropico 4 Bundle
Darkness II

I already played some Space Marine and I think it's pretty cool!

[Arcanum]

Damage so far:

SMNC Turbocross bundle
Trine 2
Warhammer 40K Dreadnaught assault DLC
Frozen Synapse Red DLC
Tribes Ascends Starter Pack
The Witcher 2
Darkness 2
Vessel

[Red Fighter 1073]

Bastion has become community choice like I knew it would be (even though I wish Dungeon Defenders was picked... I already have Bastion) and it's only $3.74 US Dollars. For the love of god, pick it up if you haven't already.

Damage so far (thankfully small)
Dungeons of Dredmor
Magicka

With that being said, I'm down to do some Co-Op Magicka with some peeps if others want to. Hopefully multiplayer isn't as buggy as it was when I last watched the Yogscast play it.

I'm waiting to pick up the Walking Dead, but I'm worried that it might go lower. Though it is a Daily Deal so it probably won't sell for less right now?

[MuMu]

Gifted Bastion to some asshole who already had it. Then he gifted it to some medic of the night or some shit.

Also yea, Walking Dead most likely won't go lower than that. Wait until Winter?

[stefan]

my general rule with steam sales is to never buy anything for more than $10 unless I really fucking want it. So far I've picked up Terraria, M&B: Warband, Republic Commando (had the console ver. years ago), L.A. Noire, Saint's Row the Third, Bastion, and I am thiiiiiiiiis close to picking up The Darkness 2, only wavering because I'm saving for Otakon and never picked up the original.

[IHateMakingNames]

Just remember this about Steam sales.

http://www.nerfnow.com/comic/image/796

Still caving in a bit more than I should, but I feel pretty proud that I resisted buying any of the Gothic games.

[akaSM]

I've only gotten SSFIV:AE, for 7 USD :3.

Oh, and 10 USD for my Steam wallet for no reason at all.

[synkr0nized]

The amount of the discounts looks appealing, and then I remember that I don't really care about hardly any of these games.

[Osterbaum]

Anyone who during the sale happens to get Magicka, Trine 2 or Dead Island; hit me up for some gaming because these are all games best played with other people and I feel like I'm not getting the most out of them playing by myself.

[Karrrrrrrrrrrresche]

Gifted Bastion to some asshole who already had it. Then he gifted it to some medic of the night or some shit.

Also yea, Walking Dead most likely won't go lower than that. Wait until Winter?

I SWEAR I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE FUCK IT CAME FROM
I'VE NEVER EVEN PLAYED IT

[Aldurin]

Cave Story is currently on a flash deal for 2.50, which is a perfect sale since it is not only a fun platformer, but it makes the best use of the simple elements it has to make a very satisfying overall game.

Basically whenever an awesome game goes for around 2 bucks you should buy it. Kinda like what happened with Alpha Protocol way back when they let it go for that price.

EDIT: Also get today's Indie bundle since it has A Valley Without Wind, it's probably one of the best deals you'll find for it.

[Shyria Dracnoir]

Anyone else here own Saints Row the Third? I just picked up the base version of the game and wondered if we had a group or whatever up yet.

[Ramary]

It is 2 player co-op only, I am sure someone else bought it too, if not I will play with you using my character that has achieved godhood.

[MuMu]

I could make a char to play with you if you're not into invincibility, sure, just hit me up when I'm on(And available).

I sold some books today. To buy more games. Steam is a drug dealer and this summer will end with me getting my mouse amputated.

Also, just bought Creed: Brotherhood.

[Osterbaum]

Guys, vote for Beyond Good and Evil for the next flash sale!

[mauve]

I'm sure Mirror's Edge will win, but TOTALLY VOTE FOR BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL. And if you haven't played Beyond Good and Evil, BUY BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL YOU HORRIBLE HUMAN BEING.

[Red Fighter 1073]

This has been the only Indie Bundle that has enticed me so far, and it's looking to be pretty good. Haven't played Greed Corp yet, but it has a FANTASTIC jazz soundtrack which I wish they would sell online. Ys I really want to sink a few hours in when I get the chance, but I haven't been able to play yet.

But I just started Gemini Rue, a point-and-click game that has a very interesting, film noir style in a futuristic setting so the story looks pretty good so far. And there doesn't seem to be as much pixel-hunting as other point-and-click have been that otherwise driven me from the genre. I feel like this game has been kinda overlooked though so I suggest people check it out.

[EVILNess]

I'm sure Mirror's Edge will win, but TOTALLY VOTE FOR BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL. And if you haven't played Beyond Good and Evil, BUY BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL YOU HORRIBLE HUMAN BEING.

Why Mirror's Edge won, I will never know. It was a terrible game. Especially compared to BG&E. Steam users I am disappoint.

I have to be the only person in this specific situation.

Aside from that, this Steam sale has been great.

[Azisien]

Y'know, Stronghold 3 is right up my alley premise-wise, but I've heard it's complete and utter shit.

RAILWORKS FUCK YEA TRIPLE X-RATED

[mauve]

Double Fine games are on flash sale. If you haven't played Psychonauts, this is a good time to buy it. BECAUSE IT'S AWESOME. AND ONLY $2.49!!!

[Shyria Dracnoir]

Loved Psychonauts on the PS2, going to definitely look into this.

[Bells]

Spec Ops THe Line... C'mon people. It's worth it. Do it. Do it now!

[rpgdemon]

I heard rumor that Pyschonauts on the PC had some game breaking bugs, depending on your architecture. Can someone confirm/deny?

[Arcanum]

I have dilemma.

I own Arkham City on the 360, but if I were to buy the DLC it would cost me $13 (1400 points costs ~$22 after tax, so 800 points is ~$13. Buying points in Canada sucks ass). For that price I can basically get AC and the Harley DLC on the PC. The problem is that if I splurge on all the other DLC it will cost me ~$21, whereas the Batman Franchise bundle will cost me $25.

Should I just get the Franchise, which basically gives me Arkham Asylum and Gotham City Imposters and all of the associated DLC for $4? I'm on the verge of doing just that. Thoughts?

BTW I'm aware that the Harley DLC was called lackluster (among other things) but I still want to play it.


I now own Batman.

[Jagos]

I heard rumor that Pyschonauts on the PC had some game breaking bugs, depending on your architecture. Can someone confirm/deny?

Playing, no problems. Seems it's mainly startup issues from playing it in 98 compatibility mode.

[Revising Ocelot]

I heard rumor that Pyschonauts on the PC had some game breaking bugs, depending on your architecture. Can someone confirm/deny?

Quite the opposite - I heard the game breaking bugs were on the PS2 version.

I bought Psychonauts a while back, and never had any issues.

[Ramary]

Dungeon Defenders is on flash sale, did we ever really get into it when we attempted to play it last time?

[MuMu]

It's one of those games that need a pre-defined group and some wizard asshole kept powerlevelling when not in a Steam Weekend.

Just Cause 2 is on flash sale right now. Just Cause 2 is pretty great so I suggest you all go and check it out. I'm even thinking of buying it again for PC because I "only" have it for PS3.

[Revising Ocelot]

Ooh, Thief. How are the older games? Is it worth buying the whole collection?

[Locke cole]

I was thinking of buying Recettear and Bastion. How good are those?

[Aldurin]

I was thinking of buying Recettear and Bastion. How good are those?

Buy Bastion, it's worth it on the art alone but is also really really fun.

Seize the Lightning has actually done a good job with Recettear, combining both rpg dungeon crawler with a "item shop Tycoon" system. So it's worth it for five bucks.

[Ramary]

Ooh, Thief. How are the older games? Is it worth buying the whole collection?

Thief 2 is the best one.
Thief 1 still worth it.
Deadly Shadows is considered shit.

[Locke cole]

Buy Bastion, it's worth it on the art alone but is also really really fun.

Seize the Lightning has actually done a good job with Recettear, combining both rpg dungeon crawler with a "item shop Tycoon" system. So it's worth it for five bucks.

Would it be worth it to get the Soundtrack Edition of Bastion? it's 6 bucks today.

[A Zarkin' Frood]

Would it be worth it to get the Soundtrack Edition of Bastion? it's 6 bucks today.

Definitely.

[BB]

Can anyone vouch for/against Fortune Summoners (http://store.steampowered.com/app/203510/)? It looks unbelievably cute which wins lots of bonus points with me and I greatly enjoyed Recettear (because... that was also unbelievably cute). I know Carpe Fulgur are only responsible for porting the games, though, so enjoying one of their titles doesn't necessarily mean enjoying others.

(Also, you should totally buy the Carpe Fulgur pack because they do a great service that should be supported as much as possible, localising independently developed games from Japan that we otherwise wouldn't see)

[Locke cole]

Are the other Carpe Fulgar games good? I was planning on just buying Recettear.

[Ramary]

Recettear is the big stand out of the pack, the other 2 games no one will put it against you to say they are just generic JRPGs. I did not hear bad things about them however.

[MuMu]

Why what ever do you mean by power leveling? I played one game on the hardest setting that is what happened. ::V:

I'm ok with starting another group, but like Killing Floor, I'll only be available to play after my downloads end(Not this weekend).

I call Barbarian btw.


CAPITALISM HOOO (and the other games from them guys) 75% off

YES!

This is the day I've been waiting for! I'm free! You hold nothing against me anymore, Steam!:mad:

Regarding Fortune Summoners, for the little I've seen it's like a Lost Vikings with super-cute girls instead and a bit RPG.

Sincerely, didn't enjoy Chantelise(It came before Recettear chronologically and it shows) and only bought it to support Fulgur.

[Malek]

There's a demo for fortune summoners you can download through steam if you want to try it first.

[synkr0nized]

Defcon is on sale.
Better yet, it and Uplink are in the Introversion package for less than either game normally costs alone.

[Loyal]

The Age of Empries DLC stuff has got to be the worst sale I've seen yet.

Hoping for some Sim City 4 tomorrow.

[IHateMakingNames]

If Sim City 4 is happening it's in the next 40 minutes.

And there you go.

[DarkDrgon]

So, Other than TF2 I don't really have anything played on Steam nights. What are some common games you guys play that I should keep an eye out for (and probably already missed)

[Locke cole]

I think I'll just buy Bastion and Recettear. If I decide to buy the rest of the games later, then that's fine.

I mean, buying the pack saves me a grand total of four cents, so it doesn't matter much to me if I buy them together or seperate. So, best to just get the one I know sounds good, for now.

[Ramary]

So, Other than TF2 I don't really have anything played on Steam nights. What are some common games you guys play that I should keep an eye out for (and probably already missed)

Left 4 Dead 2 and Killing Floor.

Killing Floor is yet to be on daily deal, and only been on flash sale once, you still got a chance for that, not sure about L4D2.

[BB]

I mean, buying the pack saves me a grand total of four cents, so it doesn't matter much to me if I buy them together or seperate. So, best to just get the one I know sounds good, for now.

That's 4c at the current sale prices- the bundles update to reflect the prices individually during the sale as well as the bundle's own sale price. I don't know the dollar conversion, but here each game is currently £3.74 on the sale but £12.99 usually.

[Locke cole]

I know that it's more if I buy them outside of the sale, but I don't know if I want the other two.

However, I did know that I wanted Recettear, so I bought that at the sale price.

[Red Fighter 1073]

Total War: Shogun 2 is possible next Community Choice. Hopefully people vote for it, though I'm worried that either Dead Island or Space Marine will be picked instead.

Though it's gone on sale a few times right? Ughhh I wish I had noticed how amazing it looked sooner.

Yeah it's been on sale twice so far, and I'd say it's a decent contender to go up again. Possibly on the "Here's the Top Sellers!" day. And yeah, it's fucking awesome, and anyone interested in strategy games needs to have the TW games.

Anyone played Sol: Exodus? That's seems like the only interesting one out of the Indie Bundle imo. Haven't seen video of it yet, but looks like Star Wars: X-Wing kind of game which could be pretty damn good.

[mauve]

Talk to me about Fallout: New Vegas and LA Noire. They're both on sale and I haven't played either. Are they good? Is New Vegas an okay choice for someone who's never played anything in the Fallout franchise, or will I be lost?

[A Zarkin' Frood]

New Vegas can be played without any prior knowledge of the fallout backstory. As far as I understand it story elements from the first two Fallouts return but the story is self contained. I enjoyed it even though the only other Fallout I Played was FO3. Gameplay-wise, if you played a few RPGs and FPSs in the last decade you should have no problem getting into it.

[mauve]

Thanks! I'm definitely considering New Vegas now.

Left 4 Dead 2 is $4.99, for anyone who has yet to grab it.

[Red Fighter 1073]

LA Noire is pretty good. I've heard it labeled as kind of a 3D Phoenix Wright. It's made by Rockstar but it's very much a linear game. The meat of the game is in finding clues throughout the crime scene environment, interrogating witnesses, and finding out whether they are lying or telling the truth through LA Noire's really amazing facial expression game engine. Story and characters are pretty good too.
So
I've heard the PC version was incredibly buggy on launch, and I'm not sure if all bugs have been fixed yet so look that up. Also, check out pcgamingwiki.com and they might have some fixes for LA Noire.

[Azisien]

New Vegas and LA Noire are both easily worth 5 bucks. The sheer amount of playtime you get out of NV justifies it, and now that the game has been patched beyond its launch-day bugginess, it's more playable. LA Noire is an enjoyable cinematic experience, but it's only good for one playthrough. You'll get a good 8-12 hours out of it, maybe a little more. I consider that a good buy, though.

[Arcanum]

L.A. Noire is fine if you always replace the word "Doubt" with "Force" because that's what it was originally labeled, but then they changed it for some reason before the game launched but never changed the dialogue that was made for the "Force" choice. So be prepared to have Cole yell at innocent old ladies that they are murderous satanic lesbians.

Also it gets really repetitive by the time you hit the vice cases. And I stopped playing when I got to Arson (the one after Vice, if I remember correctly) because I just got bored and didn't really care about the overarching story.

[mauve]

Thanks for the advice, all! I now own New Vegas. Woo! First purchase of the Steam Sale!

[Revising Ocelot]

Beyond Good & Evil is on flash sale.


Apparently it doesn't work with Vista/7, though?

[Flarecobra]

Would not be the first game to have that occur.

*Cries at the lack of VtM: Bloodlines and X-wing Alliance due to 7*

Course, it might be the 64-bit processer too.

[Ramary]

Thanks for the advice, all! I now own New Vegas. Woo! First purchase of the Steam Sale!

You get Old World Blues too? That is the best DLC. Honest Hearts is pretty good too, the other 2 you can skip, but Lonesome Road gives you some nice rewards at least.

[mauve]

I bought the Ultimate Edition, so yep! I've got 'em all!


Woo yeah, impulse buys. >.>

[Locke cole]

Yup! Recettear was a good choice. I can already tell I'm gonna enjoy this.

[IHateMakingNames]

I bought it and found it to be absolutely terrible. Note that I only played like the first two hours because I didn't feel like it was going to get any better.

[Ryong]

I've played it ages ago. I have to agree with IHateMakingNames. Every battle is a tactical unexplained clusterfuck. Your commands are as vaguely defined as possible and the whole thing with how unions and shit work are just downright terrible.

[DarkDrgon]

Also if anyone who doesn't have Magicka was considering buying it, I have a spare copy I can gift out.

How odd! I myself am right at this moment enjoying the wacky daring does of my malkavian ninja!

[Locke cole]

I am so glad I got Recettear and Bastion.

Recettear is nice lighthearted fun, with a surprisingly difficult dungeon crawling minigame. It's funny and silly and sometimes I feel like an evil overlord with some of the marked-up prices I can get away with.

Bastion couldn't be more of a polar opposite in tone and focus if it tired. It's dark, tough, and that narrator is amazing. Also great.

ArmA 2 doesn't show up for me in the main page, but it does everywhere else. Go figure.

Also, some dude tried to scam me off my dragonclaw hook. he had a key for the game I wanted, had changed his name 10 times since yesterday to completely different names, said his rep on his steam's profile ( the comments, which you can delete ) are enough proof that he's for reals, that he's not on steamtrades 'cause he's "a TRADER not a PLAYER" and then he gave me half the key to show how serious he was.

[Revising Ocelot]

I think even before the dailies rolled over ARMA II had crept back up to the #1 top seller again. Bloody hell.


...must admit I'm half-tempted due to the Day Z factor. Because Rock Paper Shotgun, almost everybody I know outside this forum, and almost everybody I don't know raves about it on a daily basis. Eek.

Something people always forget to mention is that DayZ is an Alpha, and very unpolished. I don't think it will hurt you to wait for a better sale down the line when the mod is a bit more complete.

And last day, recap of the best deals. Get Bastion if you haven't already.

So, I just checked my total Steam Damage aaaaand...U$152. On one hand, I'm pretty sure I'll only be able to pay that next week, on the other, no need for games until Winter Sale where I'll hopefully get Dark Souls.

[BB]

My damage:

Beyond Good And Evil
Fortune Summoners (was a gift)
Star Wars KOTOR
Thief and Thief 2 (I already had deadly shadows)
Trine 2
Torchlight (was a gift)

All in all I spent around $14 (about £10?), so I'm pretty content. Especially since that lot would cost £64 out of the sales!

[A Zarkin' Frood]

That's what I got so far, most of the other games on sale usually don't interest me at all. I didn't even know there were so many generic strategy games out there. And I generally refuse to even look at things that are Pay 2 Win.



Ys The Oath in Felghana
Dear Esther
Left 4 Dead 2 (Did a few streams playing that already (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSSQUzKBokU&feature=plcp))
Frozen Synapse
Super Street Fighter IV: AE
Trine 2

[akaSM]

All I got was SSFIV:AE

My debit card would be happy IF I hadn't spend my money in random doodads online, most of them for my phone <3

I may get one more game since I still have 10 USD in my Steam Wallet, which I added for no reason at all.

Payday: The Height
Warhammer 40k Space Marine Pack
Tropico 4 Bundle
Darkness II
Crysis 2
Batman Arkham City DLC
Burnout Paradise: Ultimate Box
Galactic Civilizations II
Evochron Mercenary
Jagged Alliance: Back in Action

and some troll gifted me Railworks 3''

And considering I pay $70 for a newly released console game, that's pretty damn good for 12 games (I already owned World of Goo), two pieces of DLC, and two bundle packs for F2P games.

[Karrrrrrrrrrrresche]

$34.24 in games, even considering that I bought a few for Ramary. Adding on a few in game store transactions for DOTA and TF2, it comes up to $45.

[Ryong]

Oh and I just traded the item I got from the chest I opened with that dota 2 key for Legend of Grimrock.

Gemini Rue is probably the only Point-and-Click that I've gotten through without getting stuck within the first five minutes. Sure glad I did because the plot is amazing. One of my favorite games of the year right now. I'm thinking about going through some other Point-and-Clicks but I'm not sure which to try next. Sam and Max? Monkey Island?

Greed Corp is hard as hell, still haven't gotten past the first level haha. But the Jazz soundtrack is so amazing. Wish I could actually download it.

Ys is also so damn difficult. The normal mobs are easy but the bosses are ridiculously hard. Even with grinding, they rip you apart. I wimped out and switched to Easy difficulty.

[Locke cole]

Darnit. My only complaint with Bastion is that it left me wanting so much more of what I'd already had from it. It is such a good game.

[Pip Boy]

Amnesia is a great game, I wonder if we can get a first time player to do an LP for us.

[Melfice]

Revolving Ocelot, if you've still got that copy of Amnesia, I might have a friend who could be interested.
If you're willing to trade with a perfect stranger, he might be up for that.

Give me a second to ask him. He's definitely interested.

EDIT: Also, my damages:
2 copies of ArmA II: Combined Operations (for DayZ y'see. One for a friend)
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Still have it on the Xbox, but the emulator is less than... perfect. So, now I have it on the PC. Along with KotOR 2, which I bought way earlier.
And now The Guild 2, which I'm sure I'm going to regret. But it was just 10 bucks, so whatever. It sounded very interesting.

Amnesia is a great game, I wonder if we can get a first time player to do an LP for us.

i tried, but I couldn't get the stream to work and my recorded episodes look like ass. I did only get to The Library

Darnit. My only complaint with Bastion is that it left me wanting so much more of what I'd already had from it. It is such a good game. I'll second this. There had to be more!!! The narrator needed to say more things!!!! The music needed more levels so it could continue to be awesome!! The Kid needed to get into more trippy dream fights!!!

Well, at least we still have New Game Plus.

This HAS to be done. I saw Al and Lazy have the game but haven't played it that much :3

So here's something fun: I bought a four-pack of Borderlands Regular Edition instead of the similarly priced Game of the Year Edition and I feel like an utter chump. I'm trying to bargain with Steam Support but I don't think they want to help me.

Outside of that, I bought a whole bunch of great games including The Walking Dead, which is currently leading the pack of my "Early contenders for Game of the Year" list.

On the other hand, you can now easily enslave 3 other people for co-op. I had to play it solo and found the experience rather dull.


Anyway:

Started playing New Vegas last night and am thus far enjoying it. I like the world, the in-game culture and the unusual perks/stats system, don't like the somewhat confusing controls and settings, and the fact that my first save turned out to be "corrupted" which got my computer stuck in an endless loading screen when I tried to continue my game.Ended up having to revert to an autosave file and lost about 20 minutes of gameplay.

Basically it seems to be a lighter version of Skyrim with guns and more options for playing dress-up. I like it though.

[Ramary]

I would not call it lighter version of Skyrim, considering I actually gave a shit about the story and setting in New Vegas.

[mauve]

I meant in terms of gameplay and the overall feel of the game. Collecting food from plants, random cosmetic outfits in addition to actual armor, open world, having the option to just loot a place blind down to the paperweight on the desk and the empty cans in their dumpster... it just feels like Skyrim With Guns. Not that that's a bad thing, necessarily.

Although so far, yeah, the story is much more interesting.

....if there's a Cowboy Sheogorath in this game, it'll be the greatest thing ever.

[A Zarkin' Frood]

New Vegas uses the Oblivion engine, so yeah, there are going to be similarities to TES games. It's also where the game's problems come from. (like the crashes, which didn't happen a lot to me, but other people really seemed to get a lot of crashes)
