The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

[Commissar Draco]

buy muh game, apparently I arranged for it to be 50% off for a while:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/983640/Theseus_Journey_to_Athens/

Edit: Seriously though if you buy it, leave a review. Apparently I don't have enough reviews to get a score or whatever, and I want my official steam score

Will it work on Linux? I will pick it up if so as the setting looks interesting and graphics are simple but nice will pick propably also Arcanum, DOS 2 and FNV 2 and the ultimate edition if both will run under Linux or Wine of course.

Uh... Yes, it definitely maybe works in linux and wine. Buy now while stocks last!

I don't know if anyone has tried to do that yet, and I don't have the setup to test it. I imagine it will run fine, but if it gives you trouble Steam will let you refund the purchase. If Steam tells you to pound sand, write an angry post about how I ripped you off and then I'll magically appear and send you money.

If it does work, please come back and tell us, or better yet post a review about how considerate I was for making my game compatible with non-windows machines. May the gods be with you.


EDIT: Just figured out how to post the button instead of a link:

It works like a charm using Steam Proton 4.11 and Steam play Comrade, very intro btw, will leave my leaned review after playing it for a bit (Should have time after Christmas or Dies Solis Invictis for your heathen).

FNV 2

Fallout: New Vegas 2 ?!

is that some cheap commie knock off? (where the chinese won and you play as the occupation faction)

Ninja Destroyer is correct - Strange Brigade is good fun solo, even better in co-op. The same can be said for Zombie Army Trilogy, in fact I like Zombie Army even better.
Both games are published by Rebellion, which means they are insultingly overpriced at list, but they do insanely deep sales.
Huge value for your $ on sale.

Full endorsement for Zombie Army Trilogy. Surprisingly the zombie spinoff games did something that Sniper Elite has always been lowkey best at - one where you set up the warzone with traps and utilities to deal with inevitable face to face encounters. Sniper Elite 2 and 3 suffered from too much point n click sniping, but 4's superior level design and Zombie Army games legit felt like pure arcadey survival fun where it plays best when everything clicks.

Strange Brigade, sadly I'm not a fan, game felt a bit too safe, didn't find much replayability compared to ZAT. But if you have spare cents for a fast paced game then why not. Not like we have that many adventurous Indiana Jones-ish shooters outside of maybe Deadfall Adventures.

Is there any racing games where you race yourself, but also have to manage things like in Football Manager? Maybe some hidden title or something, mostly I find seem to focus on only the actual racing.

F1 2020 has an very in-depth career mode if that's what you're talking about. You own a team, you manage schedules for various activities, manage financial and technical development, making deals with sponsors, answer post race interviews and so on. It operates like a usual career mode in FIFA or Pro Evolution Soccer, and while some aspects can be a bit shallow (like the rivalry system or dialogue choices in interviews) the career mode as a whole feels really immersive and well thought out.

I think SB excels in co-op, especially if you play "coopetitively" i.e. you are racing your friends to grab all the gold but still working together to fight the enemies.
Solo, the main game loses some oomph for sure ... try the horde mode though, some good challenge there I thought.

A must-have for British Codexers.

You should throw it up on ProtonDB: https://www.protondb.com/app/983640

That's probably where most Linux Steam users check for compatibility.

My stuff is on sale, if you enjoy dungeoneering and would like something that doesn't follow the Wizardry/Dungeon Master template, it might be right up your alley.

 

[DalekFlay]

I wish I liked the kinds of games you make zwanzig_zwoelf, but good on you for getting out there and doing it.

Honest question: Can you make a living out of it?

Probably yes, if his games mine bitcoins in background.

Not unless you make it big or find your own niche. You can try, but I'd suggest doing it in your spare time and not abandoning your day job (at all, given the current circumstances).

I bought Valkyrie Drive Bhikkhuni Complete Edition from winter sales:


Its pretty fun action/hack-n slash game. Fun gameplay with bounching titties. Also has like 30 mins of dialog between gameplays and Manpukumaru-chan has more personality than all cp2077 characters combined.

Manpukumaru-chan <3.

Only thing i dont really like is maps where you have to play with Mana, because her attack moves are so weird.

Hey I have that game, dunno how I got it but never played it.

Wolcen has horrible reviews and has had them for awhile, yet it keeps getting even more (negative) reviews and I guess people playing/buying? I don't understand it.

Fans of Hack & Slash, who already played to death everything from Diablo to Grim Dawn and want something new dont have much other options. So probably even if its mediocre game its still good enough for them.

 

[Latelistener]

Not sure if it's worth shilling, but it's from one the creators of 7.62 and E5.

 

[LESS T_T]

Hey, this game is getting overwhelmingly positive reviews even before it's out.

And you see who is trying all these sort of deceptions by another game they linked in the description. It's PlayWay, in the guise of CreativeForge.

Can you pillage and rape entire villages with your orcbros? Emphasis on rape.

Is Desu EX: MD worth getting? It's peanuts so I might as well buy it.

Big fan of the original, played it on release. Didn't like HR all that much and never finished it.

I got bored with MD and didn't get very far, but it's not like it's super terrible. It's there, it's a game, if you're asking the question "should I" it's probably worth the $2 at this point to just try it.
