The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

Oh I don't play the games, I just acquire them.

Hihi GW fanboy here:

What's this Steam Rating thing, anyway?

 

[Kane]

My time played stats are all messed up from leaving my computer on and walking away to do other stuff. But my top 10 played games:

1. EU III

What's this Steam Rating thing, anyway?

a number connected to hours played last week, for example, 38h total playtime gives you a 10.0 rating. if you play less you get less rating. call it the no-life multiplier.

 

[Humppaleka]

I hate how I can't compare my steam penis, I played Red Orchestra for hundreds of hours and now it shows I've played it for 53 hours. Now Dota 2 is at it's rightful place on the top with 230 hours. TF2 at 26 hours (full playtime), fuck that shit. If I suddenly get an urge to play Paradox games again I might rack up some mighty hours there, I played EU 3 from disc mostly, no Steam stats for it yet.

Offtopic: Has someone played Space Marine multiplayer recently? Is it still the horrible laggy and unbalanced POS it was when I tried it?

 

[Konjad]

Suck it, suckers

No Dragon Age 2? Shocking, Konjad! And I won't even ask about 300 hours of Witcher.

There is Dragon Age 2 down the list, I have 29 hours counted of it.
I replayed Twitcher a few times, same with Bloodlines and Baldur's Gate.

How do you generate such a list? I just see the number of hours next to each game's name when I click on it...

It's not Steam, it's Xfire.

Ah, thanks.

340 hours of Dwarf Fortress immediately redeem Konjad for all past and current transgressions.

299.5 of those hours were the potato learning english via the game.

300 hours of Oblivion?!?! Also how the fuck could you possibly get 300 hours out of Witcher? Wouldn't even take half that time to do all three paths Order/Scoitel/Neutral and that's even if you had the patience since they're mostly the same.

It's meaningless -- just based on time played.

Guys... he's Polish.

Retail Steamworks games going on sale at Newegg.com starting June 5th: Rage, New Vegas, Brink, and Brian Fargo's classic: Hunted the Derpon Forge -- all $8 plus free (U.S.?) shipping.

 

[commie]

Only 28 hours of Dragon Age II? You mean you've been trolling us all this time Konjad? At least you have a lot time for Twitcher and Total War series when it was still good. I won't say anything about Oblivious since I put in 100 hours into Fallout 3 with all the DLC myself(modded as fuck to make it semi palatable) but even rushing it as I was such games just take an inordinate amount of time to finish so the normal time comparison to other games just doesn't count. Everything just takes 3 or 4 times as long to do in a Beth hiking simulator than in another kind of RPG. I'm sure if you transferred all the content of Fallout to Fagbryo you'd find it would take 50+ hours to finish.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Rage is worth $8. As is New Vegas, though I'd say just wait for a deal that includes the DLC. Brink... Probably not. I play it once in a while against bots and have a decently good time, but not sure I'd really recommend it. And no idea on Hunted. Been interested but hasn't gotten cheap enough on Steam for me to grab it. Also not sure retail copies activate on Steam for that one.

 

[Metro]

None of the deals are amazing. Except for Rage they've all been cheaper at other times and I'm sure will be again during the Summer Sale. Also they were in that Quake Con pack last year and probably will be again.

Hunted is repetitive as fuck, though the banter between your heroes is pretty good. I actually finished it by playing in short doses and it's ok for that. If you get it as part of some deal then go for it, but $8 is too much for it alone.

1: League of Legends - 814.3 hours. Actual number is Way, waaaaaay higher since i haven't been playing it through steam for ages. I think I may have kicked the habit for good though
2: Massu Effectu 2 - 138.4hrs. Most of it is idling as it stopped my computer from shutting down and I accidentally left it running for 4 days while I went on an extended weekend trip to London
3: Elder scrolls SKYRIM - 66.1hrs. I want to be a dragonborn.
4: Champions Online - 62.4hrs. Played a bunch with friends when it was first released. Didn't renew after free month. No desire to play again.
5: Team fagtress 2 - 48.5hrs. Pretty ok but the influx of weird hats ruined the clean look and the influx of derpy noobs ruined the game.
6: Crusader Kings II - 47.1hrs. And that's in a week and a half
7: Desu Ex: HR - 34.6hrs. 2 playthroughs. One normal and one no kills/ghost run.
8: Blood Bowl: LE - 30.4hrs. Codex cup and my LP.
9: DoW Retribution - 29 hrs. Good for what it is. Didn't bother with MP much
10: Dawn of War II - 28 hrs. Same
11: Dawn of War: Chaos rising - 27.8hrs. Ditto.
12: Fallout: New Vegas - 27.4hrs. Good for what it is, kinda overrated.
13: Alien Swarm - 23.4hrs. I liked the original better, but this was a mild incline. Never got around to playing many custom maps.
14: Magicka - 23.2hrs. Time spent "accidentally" killing my friends: ~22.8 hrs
15: Kings Bounty: Crossworlds - 19.5hrs. Stopped around the 4th island because it had gotten extremely same-y

New Dredmor expansion released for free -- mostly just a collection of modder work polished by Gaslamp.

 

[villain of the story]

I have a Dredmor key I got from one of the bundles. I'm utterly uninterested in the game so if anyone wants it, let me know.

You have no soul. Also the base game and the first expansion are 70% off to accompany the release of the free DLC (for anyone that doesn't get villain's key!).
