The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

[Jinn]

classic trash, that is, don't waste your money.

It was $1. I'll draw my own conclusion, but thanks.

 

[Fedora Master]

I guess when the sale is as shit as it is, the only thing for me remains to be FUCKING PRESTIGIOUS.

 

[Zarniwoop]

Hurrr durr sale is shit derpa herp.

This is by far the best sale since millennial fucks demanded refunds and ended the ACTUAL Steam sales.

Which version of AC Odyssey is worth getting? I still have AC 3 on my old 360 so I am not sure if it's worth getting the "remastered edition" on PC.

As someone who owns all the games on that image on Steam, barring Vampire because I'm not a faggot, the only ones worth playing in 2020 are Thief 1/2.

 

[Metro]

OMG GUIZ THIS SALE IS GREAT

/posts shit that was similarly (or even more heavily) discounted ten years ago. BTW, Age of Decadence is currently in a Fanatical bundle and can be had for effectively $1: https://www.fanatical.com/en/pick-and-mix/build-your-own-r-p-g-bundle

Why are you fags buying shit on Steam that's readily available on gog?

Of all the games featured on screenshots that were posted on this page, Dark Messiah of Might & Magic is the only one that's not on gog.

I'd rate your post :hipster:, but sadly there is no such button.

Thief I / II, System Shock 2, Deus Ex, Arx Fatalis and Gothic are probably DRM free on Steam too. Meaning, they don't require Steam to work.

I avoided Steam for years because I like to go back and play Fallout, Arcanum, Baldur's Gate etc every few years. What if Steam went out of business? I wanted my physical discs with no internet connection required. Bought some GOG games because I could store the installers on a burned CD or DVD.

Nowadays the quality of the games is so much lower in terms of depth and replay-ability that I can't imagine still wanting to play them over and over for 15 or 20 years, even if I live that long and they still work with the operating systems of the day (which is itself unlikely), so I just treat them as disposable entertainment. If Steam dies five years from now and I lost all my Steam games, it wouldn't be a great loss, frankly.

Here's to you, Grampy-Bone. I'll remember you in the nursing home long after the drab POE characters are gone from my failing memory.

 

[FreshCorpse]

What I'm thinking about (haven't actually clicked "buy" yet).

Also thinking about Jedi: Fallen Order but still not sure about whether that's worth a go yet. It just looks a bit basic honestly and I'm trying to decide how much I'm interested in a decent Star Wars game.

EDIT: Just watched some of it on stream and I think it's not interesting enough

 

[Alphard]

bought deus ex ( i lost my original cd copy ) and of games that i never played dark messia, thief, gothic universe. yes i know.
i'm undecided on system shock 2 , what the game offers that modern games don't? genuine question

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

what the game offers that modern games don't?

it's an excellent game. and that's already a better offer than modern games's.
well written, interesting and believable maps, unnervingly frightening with only exactly TWO cheap jumpscares, best audio ever, awesome ost.

 

[M. AQVILA]

I bought Tale of Wuxia and and Tale of Wuxia: The Pre-Sequel, both 50% off. A Wuxia CRPG seems right up my alley.

I still have 4,80 eurobucks to spend but I'm undecided on what to buy.

Linux support. Valve/Steam has treated linux as a first-class citizen by contributing open source code(Steam Play /w Proton, Driver support etc.) to make playing modern games on linux possible. Meanwhile GOG has snubbed the platform by not even supporting it with their new GOG GALAXY 2.0 client.

While I agree that DRM-free games are good, not being stuck on a proprietary DRM operating system to play them is even better.
