The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

Man people must really hate this game if steam is willing to sell it for negative money.

 

Is Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space worth a try?

Deponia and Chaos on Deponia are very good, as is anything published by Carpe Fulgur (Fortune Summoners, Recettear, Chantelise) if you can stomach the anime. Kentucky Road Zero is also surprisingly compelling for a hipster indie game.

 

I got The Dark Eye

 

Crooked Bee Weird Worlds is a fun, albeit limited, exploration roguelike with real time combat. Games are meant to be short with small maps taking about 5-10 minutes and large ones maybe 30 or so. I got it for $1 during an IndieGameStand promo and it's also been in an Indie Royale Bundle. Its current price of $7.50 is a bit high considering what that can buy in terms of digital downloads these days -- while I have over ten hours played I'm probably atypical in how much I love fiddling around with roguelikes. To other people I'm sure it can get repetitive fast as there isn't much variation and, again, the mechanics are all very simplified. Wishlist it and grab it when it hits $2.50.

 

no, too many bumfaces

bumfaces are scary

 

There is a whole lot of stuff on sale, I looked through the list, some things stand out, like Frozen Synapse and Dark Souls. Any other reccomendations ?

 

So I decided to pre-purchase Don't Starve. Anyone want the extra copy that comes with it ?

 

I purchased it too. Make two extra copies, guys.

(I purchased also Unity of Command DLC, a random soccer game and cortex command. Sweet sale).

 

I'll take it, if you don't mind. MHC's (I think) LP of it looked cool.

 

Gimme dat steam ID.

 

They've added a ton of content and mechanics to Don't Starve during the beta. Played it a couple of months ago but waiting for the full release to get back into it.

 

Same here. Also, the game itself is very nice, I'm just not quite sure I like it as a roguelike.

 

Tons of steam activated games on sale at GMG: Some total Wars, some old Sega stuff, 2010's AVP

I can understand that. It's more of a builder type versus a traditional roguelike and a lot of the gameplay is just exploring and stockpiling materials which can get tedious.

 

Quick someone shoot me before temptation gets ahead of my rationality.

 

Better wait

 

Are you Princess AP in the CDS?

 

Yes.

 

I'll put my head up against yours so we can die in the same shot. I'm considering it too.

 

don't do it. buying arcania is a better option (just never play it)

 

Anyone know of any indie games worth picking up this weekend? I feel like there's billions and billions of games out there and I've fallen a bit behind lately on the indie scene.

Also, I know people love Amnesia, but I'm not big on horror games. Does it have strong survival elements? And how is the stealth component? In other words, how does it stand up as a real game, and not just an "oh god this is fucked up" simulator?
