Official steam sale™-thread!
Post damage reports and disappointments, refunds and if, by some strange reason you are having FUN, tell us about it!
What's the point of these threads if there's no game, no gambling, no flash sales or dailies? Old Steam sales at least had an element of momentum and excitement to them, like you were participating in an event. This is just a two week discount. Everyone's already bought what they want, it's already over.
>>342756156
I am alone in my house. It is over midnight. I haven't been outside for 5 days now. I've received no phone calls or messages. I want to talk about sales with people who care about same things as I do. My life sucks and this is the escapism I need.
Bought LEGO Batman 2, 3, the Hobbit and LotR, also F1 2013fucking Codemaster pieces of shit never put it on sale so fuck it whatever, they win this one.
Downloaded Batman 2, dowloading F1 2013. Dunno if I'm gonna play them now, started emulating Skies of Arcadia like 2 days ago so prolly gonna finish that first. And yes, having fun so far.
Dungeon of the Endless won't let me past the fucking splash screen
>>342756832
Glad to hear that.
I was going to buy Lisa but it's more expensive now than it was during the winter sale.
I was going to buy the Tomb Raider reboot but it's also more expensive now than it was during a previous sale.
There's no reason to look at the sale after the first time you look at it because nothing changes.
>>342756156
>no game
You mean no attempt to coerce people into buying more stuff in the hopes of winning a pointless competition?
Bought BAD COMPANY 2 and L4D2
HAHAH LE PRAISEEEEE GABEN XDDD OH GOLLY OH JEEZ MY WALLET ROFL SO MANY GREAT DEALS RIGHT?????
>>342758010
I see my thread title did what it was supposed to do.
>>342756156
Im waiting till payday desu. so ill be buying all my games on the 1st july
>>342755727
Just bought these.
>>342758010
>>342758150
O U T P L A Y E D
>>342758679
Grim Dawn is good
Ziggurat is ok and devs are cool guys, but you can finish it in one hour and after that it gets boring.
Dishonored is great. I hope you got the dlc as well.
>>342758805
I got the one with all the DLC for I think around 8 dollars. After I play Grim Dawn for a bit I'm going to play it.
>>342758679
>Crimzon Clover
>Darksiders I & II
>Impossible Creatures
Is The Longest Journey any good? It looks neat but I am afraid the story is going to be girly YA novel trash.
I have been trying to find games with actually good stories and worlds after recently beating the first Deus Ex. There just aren't that many actually good game stories after you have been reading books for so long.
>>342758805
I was considering Grim Dawn, but I'm playing through Van Helsing Final Cut at the moment, and I wanted to go back to the post-game stuff in Victor Vran. Plus I have Torchlight II which I haven't touched.
What are the best roguelikes on Steam? ADOM isn't on sale so fuck that, I'll just stick to the free version. If I can't find anything new I'll probably just pick up that Rage DLC for ToME.
Also how is Styx? Long and/or lots of replay value?
>>342759117
Surely you're not implying Deus Ex has an actually good story.
>>342759337
Dredmor?
The only one that comes to mind, I personally like it but /rlg/ mostly hates it. They also hate ToME though, so that may not affect you.
Im considering getting GTA V and Gauntlet, how is the SP for Bad Company 2? Im sure MP ist dead by now.
>>342759151
I've beaten torchlight 2 so many times. Grim Dawn is a much darker version of torchlight. I haven't beaten GD yet, but Its about on par with TL as of 4 hours into it.
Diablo 3 is such shit.
>>342757972
How many people does Bad Company 2 still have playing? I haven't played it in years, and that was on PS3. To play it on PC now at 60 fps would be great. If it's a ghost town though, I won't bother.
I have 10+ games on my wishlist, but I know if I buy them then i'll never get through my backlog. Oh well, i'll probably buy said wishlist in the next few days.
>>342759337
There's Dungeons of Dredmor but it's babby tier in terms of depth and difficulty, so I doubt it'll appeal to you if you've already played the good stuff.
>>342756365
>I am alone in my house. It is over midnight. I haven't been outside for 5 days now.
>>342755727
Gonna buy Infinifactory right now but overall there's not that many games that I would buy without a -80% sale 2bh
>>342759413
It's average genre-fiction tier. But the themes are well established, the plot isn't handed to you freely, there are some nice twists and turns, and it doesn't feel hammed in to the game.
In the end I only bought these.
>>342760156
Is dustforce good? I enjoy super meat boy. It kind of looks kind of like the same game.
>>342760156
>Go Go Nippon
>>342756365
hey m8, I picked up Age of Mythology EX, FortressCraft Evolved, and Dominions 4 today. Only played AoM so far, and the game is just as cool as I remember it.
>>342760221
It is great.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J18jj0d1uto
>>342760395
Nice pick. Is the multiplayer still fucked?
>>342757017
Oh so apparently trying to to use a 4K resolution scaled to a 1080 monitor breaks the menu on this game, and the registry in the game folder is the wrong one to edit and I was meant to edit one in my documents
what is this fucking Stardew Valley game and why cant I stop playing it
>>342760807
>4K resolution scaled to a 1080 monitor
Why? Isn't it a 2D game? There's nothing to gain from downsampling.
http://steamcommunity.com/id/Galbadan/wishlist/?sort=price
Could someone pick up a few games for me?
>>342761028
Except muh numbers
>>342759740
That's good to hear, guess I'll give it a pass until next sale.
>>342761118
Yes
What's the best game I can buy for $3 or less?
>>342761118
Why do you want more, you dont even play the ones you have.
>>342760791
Thanks. I haven't checked out the MP yet. I have a few friends with the game so I imagine if official servers are down I can find a workaround. Kinda wanted to experience the campaign and a few casual DMs against AI before I bothered with MP.
Why can't we beg for games?
>>342761118
>all that weeb garbage
Just get grim fandango. Maybe MGSV if you have the extra money.
>>342758805
meh, when i played dishonored on release it seemed ok and i liked the setting but it's just way too easy. blink everywhere and fuck shit up with zero effort. lol.
>>342761118
>canadian
no thanks
>>342761735
Yeah it is easy. It can be finished without blink though (nearly).
Any recommendations for point and click games? They are my favorite but they are either trash or amazing.
Played Broken Age (sucked), Armikrog (sucked), Grim Fandango (okay), all the Sierra games (played KQ remake ep 1 wasn't too into it might season pass...) all seasons of Sam and Max and SBCG4AP.
Day of the Tentacle worth it?
>>342758679
Styx is great
Recommend me some cheapo SHMUPS anons.
Did they ever fix the crashing and shit performance in just cause 3? What about arkham knight, did they fix that too?
>>342762839
Machinarium
Samorost
7 Days a Skeptic (its free)
>>342763213
Deathsmiles
Thought about Doom 2016, but then decided not to get it since I have a ton of other shit to play and Rocket League is consuming way too much of my time.
>>342763213
Crimzon Clover, Raiden IV, Ikaruga. Not that cheap but Mushihimesama is fantastic.
>>342762839
Fran Bow
Anna's Quest
Technobabylon
Primordia
>RETARDED ANTI-VIRUS THINKS GAME.EXE IS SUSPICIOUS
>Bought LISA RPG and played 20 minutes
>Come back 6 hours later
>This happens
>Can run Roller Coaster Tychoon A-OK but an RPG Maker game that a Toaster can play is what's a threat?
>>342763382
Deathsmiles isn't cheap
>>342763513
Got Crimson clover, ikaruga, and raiden and mushi too expensive
>>342763213
DARIUSBURST Chronicle Saviours is AMAZING. But it's 40 dollars now. God damn, that's too much. I pirated it and I'm waiting for the price to go down to buy it for free.
I posted BASICALLY this list with some small changes last night. But I finally buckled down and spent $70. Which is more than I usually pay on anything except actual hardware.
How did I do /v/?
What's the best JRPG I can get for the low-low?
>>342763704
Don't know what Particle Mace and Detective Grimoire are, the first one in particular sounds like shovelware. The rest is pretty solid, lots of good picks.
>>342763651
>having Antivirus at all
just refunded spore + galaxy + creepy cute bundle
it was just so fucking boring.
i've bought game dev tycoon too and that was fun. so now ill have 14 dollars. thinking about castle crashers + battleblock theater but i dont have friends so idk
>>342763690
>Raiden
>too expensive
Nigga it's 3.75.
Is Civ 5 fun? I have 2 friends wanting me to get it. I enjoy AoE but I'm not sure how I feel about turn based games
>>342764171
I only have $2 which is why I asked for cheapo shmups
I bought all the Hitman games last year, but I don't know which to play. Should I just get through all of them?
Same for Ass Raider, except for the newest one.
>mfw Dragons Dogma
>>342763878
>the first one in particular sounds like shovelware
It basically is. I followed the devblog years ago though.
>>342763385
Is Life is Strange worth it or is it just a bandwagon meme?
Also is Littlewitch Romanesque any good?
>>342764610
>Is Life is Strange worth it?
No it's tumblr shit
>>342764381
If you can stomach the older games, sure. Mandatory to play are Blood Money and Contracts. They are the best games.
>>342763704
divine divinity is a top tier diablo-like game with decent plot
think of it as isometric skyrim, as you are COMPLETELY free to do everything your way
>>342763381
Anyone?
>>342764230
Yeah, but only worth with all expansions. You'll start playing and wonder why its 4 am suddenly
>>342764381
TR just go chronologically, or 2013 then TR1 onwards.
Hitman games are all very good, 1 is kinda meh compared to 2-4. Start with blood money because it's the most beginner friendly and very fun, 2 is probably the most frustrating
NOTE: I am aware of the Sonic HB. I bought the last one which included almost every game currently offered except SA2.
>>342759117
If you're talking about the original TLJ and you like point & click games then yes, it's one of the classics, it's great. Dreamfall (the sequel) is nice too, haven't played Chapters yet.
Is Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance actually good?
Also, I haven't played through all the MGS games, just the first one but have been wanting to work my way through them. Will MGR spoil anything or anything?
>>342764610
How about you play the demo?
>>342764805
SA2 is on the humble bundle now, Anon. Go claim it before you make the mistake of buying that jesus christ
>>342765126
I have watched part of the first episode as a stream. It seemed alright.
Got Verdun, MOW AS2, and Blitzkrieg 1 and 2. Considering Battlefleet Gothic, Dishonored, Subnautica and Door Kickers.
r8 and h8
>>342764805
You can save 1c if you buy XV and season pass separate
Remove Ryse, it's overrated
Only get FF8 if you know you like it
Rest seem good
>>342764835
You should play at least MGS2 and maybe 4 first, ideally
>>342765529
>>You should play at least MGS2 and maybe 4 first, ideally
K cool thanks.
>>342765463
Good games all around
well done
>>342764805
>>342764805
>>342764805
ANON, you already own Sonic Adventure 2 from the bundle. Tell me you backed out at the last second, I'm worried about you.
>>342755727
> AoE II is over 15 years old
> AoE II has 11,000 people in game right now
> AoE II has two new expansion packs
> They're all 85% off
is this real life
>>342766138
we're in the best timeline, friend
>>342765861
ANON, I dont though. The last Sonic bundle (which I bought) came out around a year ago WITHOUT SA2.
Is Red Orchestra 2 still active? Thinking about picking it up
>>342766428

>>342767575
Super House of Dead Ninjas
>>342766253
>best timeline
>Ensemble is kill and we'll never get another AoE
It could be a lot better.
>>342766376
OH, sorry. I thought you meant the one going on right now..
>>342767815
considering how shit 3 was i think ensemble dying and us getting two new, good expansions for 2 and another for AoM is by far the better timeline
I can only afford 1 bigger item, sell me on one of these that were in my wishlist:
Dying Light
Doom
GTA 5 (alittle late I know)
The Witness
Rainbow Six Seige
>>342768343
Siege is probably the best out of all those
>>342768792
Reason? Im competitive and all but what makes it fun after 10 hours? Are the mechanics that good?
>>342767815
That last one is an ODST trooper from Halo innit?
>>342768904
Yes
>>342763949
I know this is a joke, but noscript and ublock have easily done way more work than my antivirus for less load on my computer.
>>342755727
Got Dark Souls 1, MGR and Fallout NV with all the dlc.
Might also get these
>decide to line up my wishlist from no sales to lowest sales
>three days and nothing changes
boy howdy
Thinking about getting Space Hulk to play until bed. Worth it?
>>342764805
>mirrors edge on steam
>no pure time trials DLC
I've spent about $130
>>342769964
Antiviruses aren't nearly as useful now as they were ages ago because things have changed quite a bit in the last decade, but it's still a case of better have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
>>342759617
MP is alive.
>bought tumblrtale
>actually had fun
/v/ you lied to me again
What's a good rootin tootin first person shootin game?
Multiplayer not necessary.
>>342771276
Serious Sam
>>342771276
Bulletstorm
Only thing I plan on buying this sale is Republique.
>>342770331
>MGR
make sure you get the pepsiman mod
>>342771403
GWFL seems to be a problem, should I just surf the seven seas on this one?
Is Styx better than Dishonored? Everyone keeps saying that Dishonored is meh for a stealth game.
>never actually "owned" Disgaea 1 but enjoyed the Disgaea games
>been interested in the Tales of and Nep series
>but my wife's son has Zestria for PS4
Is this worth buying? Or should I get Disgaea and Nep seperately?
>>342771674
Dishonored is alright at best. It's pretty fun, but it's only worth a play through at most.
>>342771015
But it's objectively terrible though
>>342761118
All you do is collect games and never actually play any of them.
How come no flash sales or daily sales?
>>342771925
valve lost it's fire and has sold out
>>342771925
Because refunds
>>342755727
Got some Sega games for super cheap so thats cool. Got Baldurs Gate II EE since my original disk copy isn't working. Gonna kill the fuck out of Neera
So far I've only spent about $15 so far.
Despite most of my wishlist being on sale, some of the games I wanted the most still aren't at a reasonable price imo.
I picked up L4D2, Bully, KoF2002, and KoF XIII.
>>342771816
Valkyria is p. good, ToZ is alright and PC version is better than PS4, Nep is overall a mediocre JRPG with a low budget feel that gets by on fanservice alone, Agarest is utter trash.
>Don't have a smartphone
>Cards literally expire before I can even sell them
Thanks Gaben.
How are the PC ports of Way of the Samurai 3 and 4?
>>342772448
awkward to say the least.
>>342763691
>I pirated it and I'm waiting for the price to go down to buy it for free.
>>342772368
Maybe you should move out of your third world country, Pedro.
>>342772448
Both are good ports it appears. 4 was my first in the series and after beating 4, I can't stomach 3 at all.
>>342772448
i can only recommend part 4
first playthrough might seem wierd and hard to get used to, but the NG system is great
>>342772368
Just turn them into gems.
>>342772581
Will you let me into your country?
Can someone recommend me some 3D platformers or 3D action games or horde based shooters? Something where I can defeat a lot of enemies in an enclosed space.
Like Bayonetta or Serious Sam.
>>342772861
>enclosed space
>Serious Sam
how are momodora: rutm and downwell? i'm looking for something to tide myself off until zero time dilemma next week
>>342755727
g2a is still cheaper
>>342772218
Worth the forty though?
So there wont be any encore day this year?
>Buy GTX 1070
>Buy mostly VNs
But it's actually for Witcher 3 and TW Warhammer which I already own.
r8 n h8 m8s
Though I only bought 1070
I picked up Shadowrun Dragonfall: Director's Cut for like $3 and Betrayer for about $3 as well, both are highly enjoyable
Looking for rec's of games in that same price range- no sense in breaking the bank on shit deals
Is it worth rebuying SA1 and 2 if I already own them for GCN?
>>342763381
>>342764747
I get fine performance, crashed once in 50 hours. It was just a meme at release.
Anything here I should avoid?
>>342772368
Well if you don't have a smartphone that can run their app AND get SMS, your "alternative" is that you can turn them into gems, which you can "spend" on random card packs that you might get a few cents back from, if you manage to predict what it is going for in 15 days...
I'd hate to see Valve run the stock market.
>>342773063
>g2a
Pirating is cheaper retard
Any games worth getting out of that Metroidvania bundle?
>>342773487
>VA-11
Don't fall for the virl's spamming, at least wait until it is actually on sale like the rest of the $0.99 meme filled indy garbage.
>>342773487
Dead by Daylight. Game is rigged for Survivors. Survivors often leave without penalty. Leaving the killer to get deranked, often. This causes less people to play killers. Which, in turn, is killing the game.
Avoid buying it till they fix it otherwise you might be buying a dead game.
>>342773815
Maybe, but check Environmental Station Alpha (not in an alpha, they should have changed the name in an age of early access)
>>342773837
>>342773841
Thanks.
http://store.steampowered.com/sale/LEGO
What's the best game out of all these?
>>342774216
The one based on the franchise you like the most. Only LEGO Batman 2 and newer have voice acting, if you care about that. If you don't care about any of the franchises and still want to check it out, get Marvel Super Heroes.
>>342774216
none, they're all repetitive childrens games. after the 2nd level, you'll be bored to death
I think that's all I'll get this time around
>>342766428
>>342766523
Active on 2 European servers during their Friday-Sunday evenings with the majority of the players being cannon fodder bots.
Tripwire killed the horse before launch then kept beating it to this day.
Kinda sad because the game is really good. They should've held off the launch for a few months so they wouldn't scare off 90% of the players.just wait for bf1
>>342775445
>Botanicula
Good work.
>>342775652
You are wrong though. 40-1 UK servers never use bots.
Literally the only game I'm interested in.
>>342772368
Get WinAuth.

>>342776727
Anybody got some comments?
>>342759773
I still play bc2 all the friggin time
>>342777534
The Last Remnant is really good, but know what you're getting in to. The game doesn't explain shit about the convoluted systems (leveling especially), so you'll be spending a decent amount of time on the web if you want to make better-than-average characters and parties. I had a lot of fun with the game, but it honestly doesn't do shit to explain the mechanics.
