The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

[attackfighter]

yeah I got 50% off drakensang, which (un)surprisingly is the exactly the same as the current discount

edit: also got the AI War achievement by downloading a save with 29,000 deaths on it

Now to play King Arthur until the next batch of annoying achievements!

 

[Metro]

50% Rockstar games -_-

 

[OSK]

Today I got 50% off Fear 3 and a lump of coal.

Looks like Cave Story+ is getting a large update today...

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Up to 4 coal, and got a 50% off Gemini Rue coupon

 

[Metro]

Just Dredmor DLC and Double Fine Pack (Psychonauts + Costume Quest) for me today. I'll wait for some super cheap bundle on Derp Nerk'ems after they finish inexplicably cranking out DLC for it. Note if you're getting Psychonauts and Costume Quest the pack is 80 cents cheaper.

 

[Markman]

I got Madballs and Left4Dead for free. 1 coal and 50% of any Valve game.
I already got these 2 games so if anybody wants just give me a shout.

Im still hoping for Arkham City discount.


edit: Gone

 

[Gragt]

Yet another lousy 25% on Valve games. I prefered the summer event because you could chose what stuff you'd get.

 

[OSK]

FUUUUUCK!

I think I hate Super Meat Boy.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

I got a single lump of coal and a 33% discount on a Valve title... of which I already own all of them. I think. Not interested in owning any of the others except HL2:EP3, but I doubt it'll be released before the coupon expires.

Aaaanndd... I'm buying Psychonauts. For the third time. The only other game I've bought as often as this is Ultima 7 (both parts). :-/

 

[mugarod]

Is there a way to turn the coupons into coal? Got 25% off any valve game and 50% off The ball. This is beyond useless would rather have coal.

 

[Majestic47]

the achievement system is largely worthless to me since I don't own 75% of the indie games they have to be achieved in.

Meh. 50% off valve title? Yeah, right. Is it valid till 2015?

Spiral Knights appears to be free, I don't yet own it, but I guess I'll give it a bash since it won't cost me anything (except my precious time... in which I could be finishing my Icewind Dale runthrough... or my Risen playthrough... or my Killing Floor achievement whoring... ah fuck you, Gaben.)

You barely have enough time to play games?

Where the hell do you find time to make 4 LPs at once at any given time... of massive, time-sink games? RK, you baffle me.

Teach me your ways.

 

[Majestic47]

That was 2 days ago, sir. I was living alone then. Suddenly this Christmas Countdown starts and my relatives flew into town, booked a hotel, asked me out. Parents reminding them of their flight hours over phone. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

I'm out tonight again. Fuck. MY PRECIOUS TIME!

As for maintaining LP? Uh...what's so hard about it? You burn 10 hours on weekend, with enough content to convert to 4-5 updates. Then weekdays you just...trickle it down, bit by bit.

Skyrim was easy as pie. I had a lot of content caps ready to convert. I haven't even touched it for a week and still I have content to update. I basically blew a weekend on it and had enough for a dozen updates.

FFH 2 was different. I had to take it slow. It's turd-based. It's best when slowly enjoyed. One update I wanted to power through fifty turns but stopped after one game of Somnium!

Weekdays I just get home 7 pm. Burn 2-3 hours on Battlefield 3, trickle update for 30 mins. Porn for an hour before bed.

Easy.

 

[Metro]

Just did the Psychonauts achievement... and another lump ' coal!

 

[Gragt]

Lucky you. I keep getting 25% on Valve titles. That shit ain't even tradeable.

 

[Majestic47]

Bought that anime game from something awful company ...been curious about it. Heard good things about it, will try it when i have time.

 

[Gragt]

Chantelise is great if you like dungeons, explorations, lots of secrets and a fun magic system. Recettear is nice but could have unfortunately been better, though I have had lots of fun with it.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

All this pro-Chantelise sentiment is confusing and angering me. JRPGs are terrible, and Recettear was pretty bad, but READING GOOD WORDS FOR OTHER GAME WHICH IS $2.50? WHAT DO!?

 

[Metro]

Chantelise is great if you like dungeons, explorations, lots of secrets and a fun magic system.

What if you like all of that but can't stand anime?

 

[Gragt]

Chantelise is more if an action game than a RPG. And Recettear was good, you scum.

Then sucks to be you, I guess.

 

[Majestic47]

I *LOVE* Hentai. So I should be happy with Racettear. Giving it a spin when I get home tonight...I hate. Work. So. Much.
