The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread - AUTUMN SALE 2024

[ortucis]

This reminds me of a Flash game where you were homeless and had to travel to some kind of big city. I recall having this minigame where you have to hit a twitchy vein with a syringe to regain health, setting up bear traps to stay safe from bears while camping on the road and some other stuff like that. I played it a good 10 years ago, but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called anymore.

Bear traps? That sounds hilarious.

This game takes a more serious tone, but honestly, it doesn't really do it that well. There is text pop-up at the shelters, telling some stories of events that happened that night you stayed in there, or something when you sleep outside (like waking up to find people gave you some coins while you slept), but overall, you play a generic homeless guy that you can't even customize. This would actually work better if you could create a custom homeless guy and select his backstory (Arcanum type) with de-buffs applied, dealing with issues of health (mental and physical) or some addiction that got you fired?

To be fair, they intend to add more stories in full version, but I don't really see how that'll improve the game since the story is delivered in text in the beginning and the end (for your character) while any text pop-up during game is unrelated.

Oh well, I had this game for a while on wishlist. Just disappointed how it turned out.

LOL @ price.

I can buy 20 good indie games for that price. Wait for 90% discount in a year or two.

On Voidu you can get it for 22.50€, not too bad considering there are three games in the collection I think.

I just noticed something,Borderlands The Handsome Collection was on sale with a 93% discount but now suddenly it changed to 86% discount...


Is Randy Pitchford too butthurt that people are review bombing his games on Steam and decided to lower the discount to stick it to those evil steam users?

Probably accidentally typed 93% while browsing his child porn.

On the side note, I initially disabled the Steam's new option where they hid negative review spam from total scores, but it was a bad idea.

Turning it on cause this childish negative review spam ruins so many games I want to see genuine ratings of.

 

[Azalin]

Er,it changed back to 93% now,probably just a bug.

StarCrawlers is currently 70% off for anyone looking for a burger-priced RPG.

I want to but negative reviews mention things which scare me.

Anyway, bought that Borderlands: Handsome Collection, since they fixed that discount. Might as well, haven't played an FPS for like 2 years now.

I don't remember but I'm pretty sure they removed the licensed tracks from the Steam re-release.
Anyway yeah, for that price Obscure is a great purchase. Obscure 2 is a bit less interesting, still worth a play.

Well that sucks. I played it back in 2005, when it wasn't on Steam. Music definitely added a lot to the creepy atmosphere in Obscure.

I haven't played the sequel myself, I didn't hear anything good about it when it was released.
