The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

Apparently this Zombie Playground 4 player co-op kickstarter project (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/massiveblack/zombie-playground-zpg-3d-action-online-battle-rpg) has been 'pre-approved' for Steam release. Three days left on it -- $15 gets you a copy (plus an in-game hat omg). $25 gets you two copies and some other excl00000000000000sive weapons. Various other tiers with a shameless amount of exclusive items. I can see why GabeN green lit this because it's going to be stocked with items/microtransactions.

Why do so many of you keep buying tons of Steam games when you already have an enormous backlog? I understand making a huge catalog of games to play on rainy days at very low cost, but if so, why buy them when they're still above 10$, or even 5$ a piece?

Don't you think it just becomes a hindrance of having so many games to play eventually, and it is not worth spending that much money?

 

Why do women buy things om sale when they never are going to find any need of them?

Answer? Human behavior is complex man. And not rational. At all. Thank god for that.

 

Unless it's indie bundle crap I tend not to buy stuff I don't think I'll play. Even if something is dirt cheap I still scrutinize it. I did an in-depth analysis a few pages back.

 

Don't look at me bros I merely have 48 steam games


shit I'm not getting vessel even at 5 bucks even knowing it's good

this has been an intimate journey into a specific section of sgc_meltdown's spending tactics

holy shit look at all these cyclers

Not worth it until a nude mod is made.

 

That's exactly what I do. $5 if it's the release game, $10 if it's a GOTY/Complete version. That's more or less my guideline.

 

What next?

EA Presents



"You're not swinging the club, you'll never will. But Tiger is counting on you to pick the right iron, the right swing, at the right wind, and at the right time. Immersive. 9 out of 10." - GAMESPOT

"That feeling when your pick of the iron was right, and the wind just helped to nudge that ball right into the hole. Unbelievable as Tiger pumped his fist and hugged me tight. Emotionally engaging. 10 out of 10" - IGN.com

"Unmatched realism, and helping Tiger coping with his divorce and alcoholism...not to mention his tenacious mother. Unsurpassed." Rock, Golfclub, Shotgun

 

Absolutely nothing wrong with games that places you in an uncelebrated role, as long as it's a good game.

Management titles and the like are practically the only anti-console games there are.

 

Couldn't help it...

 

More evidence the Summer Sale won't start until July 12th: Vessel, that was a daily deal the other day, is on a 'special promo' of 33% off through June 30th. If the sale were starting the 28th as many are predicting then that Vessel sale makes no sense.

 

I don't really understand how people can buy so many Steam games that they'll probably never even play.

In other news I just bought Hotel Giant 2.

 

Bros, has anyone witnessed the majesty of today's daily deal?

It's rather prosperian in nature, I was wondering how it made it through qa, then saw it's source based.

(though the controlling troops feature in a team based fps is sorta cool, check the second video)

Multi-headed Cow , I assume you have this already?

 

I haven't got it, nope. Even $2.50 at 4-pack price isn't enough to tempt me. Not even naked lizard-woman butt.

I saw a TB's video of that game, p. hilarious shit. The character models look like something out of poser.

 

LOOK AT THE SKELETONS WITH FIRE EYES!

Amazing.

part of me wants to LP the Derp, but not sure if its worth that money, i could buy a cheeseburger or something crap instead and still be more fulfilled.

 

If you're thinking of buying L.A. Noire: don't. Check out youtube if you just want to see the amazing facetalking technology.
If you want to play an adventure game, you can install several others for the amount of space this'll take up.
If you want sum noir, read or watch that shit because this one takes half a game to get to it.

The dialog system gameplay is predicated on trying to guess what the designer had in mind for each option. There are no manual or quicksaves, and you don't know where the checkpoints are.

You cannot skip through dialogs or cutscenes. Ever.

 

Counterpoint, it's five bucks and you get to check dead bodies for semen.

 

For five bucks, it's kind of relaxing. Should have been about ten hours shorter and focused on just being an adventure game, and it's not in the least bit difficult, somewhere between an okayish TV series and a high-tech screensaver. You walk around. You click. You try on different outfits. I enjoyed it more than I can really justify. (But hey, it was about five bucks then, too.)

 

Yeah I'm really not eager to grab LA Confidential. Better off just spending that money on the (now expired) Tex Murphy Kickstarter.

 

I consider time spent on playing something with respectable gameplay worthwhile more than five bucks. It's not even a funny purchase like some your other stuff bro
This is pretty much the call of duty of detective games, except instead of nonstop action you get nonstop walking around looking for a hotspot item, so with a whole bunch of filler as well. HIGH PRODUCTION DETECTIVE LARP ADVENTURE GAMING

cases = levels

ps the gunplay is cover based of course

Wrongo, it's the coroner guy that does that. You check them for identification, receipts, letters and missing wedding rings. That said I'm sure all the fence sitters have been tragically swayed already
