The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

Governor of Poker 2 - Premium Edition 75% off hell yes

 

Do specials hold for the entirety of the sale or are things likely to change from day to day?

 

Specials? You mean the Highlights?
Pretty sure those are just "highlights", their prices don't change at all when they're gone from the highlight section.

 

Specials/daily deals were scrapped years ago because whiny bitches complained about missing them and 'MUH REFUNDS' shit. Now you get the same shitty 40% off deals the whole duration. Sure was worth it, right?

 

Lolnope. It's hilarious and definitely worth it on sale.

Sure there are lots of in-jokes but that's what South Park is like. There's also lots of new stuff and the way they made combat work is at least very creative if nothing else. And the way it's all clearly just kids using their imagination = very well done like how "spells" are just farts. Also it's a lot longer than you expect going in.


Anyway Codex, I want to pop some moles. Which one is better, DOOM, the new Doom or PREY, the new Prey?

 

Millennial faggots can't handle C&C. They want all the options, equally shitty and available all the time. I miss the REAL sales where you could get GOTY editions for 80-90% off.

 

is the payment thing still overloaded for you guys; i cant give gaben any of my hard earned cash atm

 

These are the only ones from my 50 game wishlist that actually are on sale for the lowest price they've ever had:
Earth Defense Force
Little King's Story
Bastard Bonds
Don't open the doors!
Way of the Samurai 4
Warlock of Firetop Mountain

But even still they're pretty shitty deals

 

Each page should have a little timer saying how long the deal will last.
The "winning strategy" is to buy whatever you want as soon as it goes on sale, but don't play it yet (for more than 2 hours). Then if it goes on a deeper sale later in the month, refund it and buy it again cheaper.

 

Oh wow, even purchasing stuff comes with its own mini-game these days.

 

Doom starts out strong, but I became annoyed by the fact that it tends to lock you in an arena and send waves of enemies after you before unlocking your path again. The levels are huge but there are also unannounced points of no return.

Go for Prey.

 

Killing Floor free, if there's still somebody who doesn't own it:

It's not part of the sale (just got released), but it is 20% off until 5 July as a release promotion (it cost me 12 USD).

This is the best game I've played in years:



It's just fucking awesome. No bullshit, Robotron/Smash TV style arcade action on steroids with an amazing soundtrack. I think they even got the original Robotron designer to help as a consultant. Housemarque has always made great games (I played Super Stardust HD to death back when I still had a console), but the fact that they're independent now is great.

A game like this is so rare. It makes you forget everything else when you're playing it, it's one of those games that has a 'zone' . Buy it.

 

Bought one game.
Refunded one game.

Now was the perfect moment to test requesting a refund for the first time. How long does this usually take?

GalCiv3 Crusade

 

I've only refunded once, took no more than a few hours to be approved.

 

These days it takes basically about 20-24 hours

 

Lowest price for RUNNING WITH RIFLES
http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/running-with-rifles.115166/#post-5107277

 

I need to eat guys. And I totally need the money for my next game, which will totally will be an oldschool RPG game with turn based combat, AAA graphics and orchestral music. And I will do it all by myself.

 

Alien Breed Trilogy and Commandos Pack are cheap af atm. Same goes for Kult: Heretic Kingdoms. Also Aquaria (an amazing Metroidvania game) is finally on sale, with the biggest discount yet.

Divinity: Dragon Commander and Dungeon Siege trilogy are also at their biggest discounts.

 

I got the dlcs for Total War Attila at 75% off. Now I can check out that "1295" mod finally.

 

The first game is good, but the transition from the original game to CRPG resulted in players having bunch of useless skills and items. Crafting was also useless IIRC.
Haven't played The River of Time yet.
Just remember that the character you select in the beginning is nobody. The game is party based to the bone, which means skills have to be distributed between characters, and anyone can use, for example, Social skills in dialogues.

 

Did finally add addons to Dungeo Siege or is it still an inferior version you won't play even if you buy it (cause you can't use mods without addons)?

 

'Sales get worse every year' is mostly a meme, I had a ton of games at 75%, 80% and 85% off. Bredy gud!

 

I'd love to buy BladeStorm Nightmare but most reviews say it's broken. Has anyone here had any problem? I want to play it on a 2015 Mac.

 

Either way, Bethesda gets more of my money
