The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

[Darth Slaughter]

For anyone interested, Prey (2006) can still be bought online even though it was delisted from Steam. I got it from Eneba for less than 2 bucks. Usually, these delisted games can be very expensive, but this one isn't. Might be worth grabbing a key if you liked it. I'm definitely glad to add it to my library.

Also, if you have prey 2017, they are installed in the same folder, if you use the same drive (at least it was like that when I bought prey 2017). But the thing is both games work normally since there's no overwritten files.

Not in my case, luckily.

need a good sci-fi game with a story to play, pls recommend

Starcraft 1,2

I kinda like it regardless, but Starcraft 2 is closer to Dragon Ball than it is to a good sf story. Similar thing happened to Warcraft 3 - it's as though someone was giving out free lobotomies at Blizzard in the early 00s, specifically in the writing department. Wing of Liberty is an OK rehash of all the space western tropes you're probably tired of, but the rest goes off the rails with power levels over 9000 and all that idiocy.

Stacraft 2 is weak compared to Starcraft 1 (and Brood War).

Wacraft 3 was pretty good though, because they managed to evolve the series - you got 4 unique races instead of 2 copy-pasta ones, the story went beyond "Good Humans vs Evil Orcs" and the characters taking part were much more involved in the events (Arthas, Illidan, Muradin, Uther, etc.), also heroes actually became the heroes; the most important units on the battlefield.

I think Starcraft 2's problem was that Warcraft 3's formula didn't fit Starcraft and the writing wasn't good enough to carry it entirely on its own (especially for Starcraft 1 veterans, whose obviously had much higher standard than the casual crowd). It has its moments, sure, but overall there are just too many holes for the ship not to sink.

Well yeah I meant WOG only, it had RELATIVELY OK plot for an RTS. HOTS and LOTV were a real decline though. As for WarCraft 3 plot come on man it was absolutely epic.

That's nostalgia talking, and I sympathize with that, but even if W3 is a good game, and even though the plot is serviceable (it does its job - for an RTS that kind of faux-epic is good enough), the writing itself is beyond atrocious in that game. And that's for the target audience of 12-year-olds.

I've wanted that game for ages. I never thought to check key resellers. Thanks.

Rogue Dungeon, the video game themed board game becomes a video game:

I like your style man.

Anyway, eat shit for life.

Those Who Rule, some tactical RPG.

Ankh Tower, a dark-fantasy rogue-like strategy. Art looks cool but unfortunately this seems like another one of those vaporware from PlayWay family.

What's wrong with Dex?? If anything its a 10 times better cyberpunk action RPG then that abomination made by polish for 300 000 000.

 

[Theodora]

This looks dooope, esp. for any old school MGS fans.

Cool, mercenaries with legs!


Wartales is out on Early Access too, more mercs with legs!

 

[curds]

Well I got the ultracheap Control key.
But it's for GOG: I can afford having even the entire GOG account nuked.
In fact, I never meant to buy anything again from them.... but then I didn't, even now, as a matter of fact.

If you don't want to support gog, why even buy from a key reseller and not just pirate? I get buying keys if you're using steam and want the cheevos, etc.

 

[mastroego]

Honestly, I got it for like 0,18 €, transaction included, or close to that.
Storage space is worth more...

[Great Deceiver]

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is 90% off. One of the best Commandos-style games ever released, I bought it at full price and it was worth every penny.

Buy it for yourselves and gift copies to your friends. The devs deserve support.

 

[mastroego]

I was considering it but I spent everything remaining on the pre-paid card for a gift.
I'd have to physically go to recharge it but I'm lazy so it's unthinkable.

Not worth it. It's literally a singleplayer MMO with console-like controls for the party, which makes combat control tedious.

Enjoy amigos, this is a very fun shooter.

Also it’s missing a ton of dlc, because EA were jewish af and cut out a thousand pieces of the game to sell as micro transanctions making for some weird holes in gear progression, notably swords. So you want to access the final tier of sword weapons? Well fuck you, gotta pay 5£ on origin for that, otherwise hope you like maces.

even if you roam into higher lvl mobs area by mistake, you will quickly discover that enemies give same amount of xp regardless of their lvl

Put it simply and in a few words: It's a giant piece of shit.
