The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread - WINTER SALE 2024

[hexer]

Last year they crashed too.
How come they're never prepared?

 

[Morgoth]

Hmmm.... The Evil Within 2 for just EUR 7,50.

Tempting. Worth it?

Yeah, starting a sale with a few hours delay between different regions would probably help

It's a better game than the first. Only watched an LP of it but it seemed like decent fun.

Really liked it. Sneaking around in the spooky town was the highlight. Great atmosphere.

So, you get nothing when buying from existing funds in your account, you only get tokens if you use external funds to buy or add to your wallet.

That's a new low for Valve.

Sorry Gabe, I prefer to use my PayPal to buy from G2A or other shady sites than your prestigious shop. At least there, maybe I'll find some decent prices.

Greed, the true meaning of Christmas according to Valve.

I think this one can be placed on induced demand - the more bandwith they provide, the more bandwith is used.

Tried accessing Steam for the sale - the front page KEEPS REFRESHING ITSELF, meaning I can't do shit.

Anything good? I would murder for a blobber.

You could give Cleve a pity purchase of Turd Exemplar...he's practically giving away his 'never will be discounted' gaem....

Grimrock 2?

Most of these deals are losers and/or exactly the same as the Black Friday sale less than a month ago. I guess the consolation is that if you spend $50-ish (depending on how many silly community activities you do to get tokens) you get a $5 coupon for another purchase.

Final Fantasy 15 seems to be at its lowest price ever at $17.49 at the moment, from browsing my wishlist, so I guess that's something.

 

[Jenkem]

I guess you'd want to gather them tokens for the sale coupon, but most of the awards are absolutely worthless even by previous sale standards. Stickers, emoticons and backgrounds you need to waste tokens on to get? Miss me with that shit.

you dont even get tokens for buying shit with your steam wallet, only for adding money to your steam wallet (or using non-steam wallet funds to buy games) it's fucking shit. added money to your steam wallet before the say? too bad for you.. what hte FUCK is valve's problem?

Only thing I've noticed a difference on is Crest, which is $3 instead of $5. And Hand of Fate 2 is $12 and I'm fairly sure it was higher in the Thanksgiving sale (Looked it up, it was $18 during that sale). Considering buying both though they're both fairly likely bundle targets so I may hold off.

Will get some of this

More recommendations:

 

[someone else]

A deep, slow paced, with stealth, environment manipulation top-down rogue-like, feels like Ultima-Underworld.
I think the developers made a mistake with the one-eyed yellow character design which is an initial turn-off for me.

I have a nearly finished Let's Play on one of its free DLC The Mithril Run:
https://rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/lets-play-unexplored-the-mithril-run.130990/

I'm looking at similar games:


Seems a bit simple.



Any other recommended realtime, top-down fantasy rogue-like?

How in the FUCK is Spellforce 3 still this expensive? That pricing is like a KOEI game at this point.

lol valve's QA department really took a nosedive

the store page keeps CRASHING (crashing, it's not server load issues) if you're one of those poor sods who actually use steam features like the discovery queue and have a certain amount of not interested/ignored games. The javascript on the page generates an infinite loop that causes the page to use multiple gigabytes of memory then crashes, reloads and does it again, and again, and again.

If you suffer from the issue do not expect to find a "time" at which the store will work. Unlike server loads type of issues, it's not something that will resolve itself.
