The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

Binary Domain you faggots. Get it.

I already watched the walkthrough and no.

Thief games need to be 75% off.

Thief games are now not good enough for you to pay a proper price?

You cheap cunt you.

Why buy them now when I can wait two or three days and get them for less?

 

[Morgoth]

If you don't own them by now....

Either way. I'm contemplating about Dreamfall: The Longest Journey. Played that 6 years ago and loved it. I think it's about time to replay it. Does it run on Win7?

Please top trying to pass yourself off as the arbiter of good taste/connoisseur of old games when most of the shit I see you extol/hype/make threads about on the Codex are console ports.

 

[Zed]

I got company of heroes. Dunno when I'm gonna play it though :multi-headed cow:

 

[Ulminati]

ulmipoo what did i do to offend you so

I don't need a reason! I'm an irrational angry old cunt!

 

[Gord]

So I finaly bought AssCreed2 yesterday and am already regretting it.
The game is the worst console port I ever played.

Thanks to the stupid mouse acceleration the game seems to stutter like hell, even though it runs at 50-60 fps.
Interestingly it's nice and smooth when looking around in 1st person view (when mouse accelleration is apparently off).

Fuck Ubisoft.

Looks like just Stacking for me today. May end up in an indie bundle since Psychonauts did, but I'm gonna assume not.
May pick up Krater if it wins the vote. Not sure.

Edit: Guy on CAG selling Stardock collection for $30. May pick that up. Tempted to do so now, since absolutely nothing listed in the "Pack deals" category has gone on additional sale yet. Hell, Railworks is on sale today but didn't change the price of the Railworks bundle in the pack deals area.

Edit 2: Yeah, fuck it, I'm gonna do it. I'm curious to see if SoaSE improved after all the expansions. And hell, maybe Galciv2 did too. Didn't like the vanilla game so I never played with the expansions. MAYBE EVERYTHING WILL BE OK.

Edit 3: Dude's out of stock at the moment but I'm ready. I'M READY. Yet another case of a Steam summer sale deal that isn't as good as I hoped, though. The $45 Steam price was fuckawful, and this $30 price is just tolerable. Keeping track of how much I spent during this sale, and it's going to be shameful compared to what I'm getting out of it.

MHC, you already own Railworks and all the DLC, don't you? This is where 10% of your 1k games come from?

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

I only own Railworks and the FREE DLC! There's a difference!

I found Twilight of the Anor to be quite good. Graphics & performance are improved and the races have unique tech trees.

Biggest problem is that some races are too passive to counter the rapid expansion of others.

Well you need only 766,14 euros to get all the other DLC too,come on MHC you know you want it,what would GabeN say if he found out you don't have them?

 

[commie]

isn't the multiplayer community for coh pretty much dead by now? if it isn't everyone left is probably playing with the expansion(s) anyways

No, it's still active, at least it was a month ago...and yeah, better just bite the bullet and get the whole collection as you get the turtle and rush sides as well.

Get the mods to fix that for the most part. Didn't realise Gal Civ was on steam too.

Even with as much videogame money I had set aside for this sale I don't have enough for all the Railworks DLC. I'm sorry Gaben.

 

[Metro]

Nothing for me today unless one of the flash/community deals is any good. Funny enough the most expensive thing I'll probably end up getting is Orcs Must Die 2.

Fake/real edit: Hmm, might grab Shoot Many Robots for $2.50. Fortunately it doesn't have the shitty Ubi DRM... at least... I don't think so.

Great interactive movie that. And I use "interactive" in a very loose sense. I loved the story and setting but there's very little actual gameplay involved. The only reason to keep playing is to see what happens next. Definitely not the kind of thing you'd want to replay, even once.

Orcs must die was such a disappointment when I learned you could just hold the left mouse button to repeatedly shoot. I thought my crazy mouse APM gave me an advantage.

I'm not sure how many more games I'll buy from this sale. I'm pretty much limiting myself to 2-3 euros per game now. Do you guys recall if they've ever done some sort of "BOOM 99% OFF ON 100 TITLES!" thing at the end of the sale?

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Shoot Many Robots is pretty enjoyable. Simple as hell, but holding D and LMB is entertaining enough for a couple bucks.

Uh... you really can't. That is, just holding down the mouse button causes your shots to do less damage/harder to aim. It's better to line it up and go for the head shot.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Nope. They most commonly use the last day of a big sale for repeats of the most popular deals. Since they're doing repeats DURING this sale I dunno if that'll be the case this time or not.

son of a bitch. I held off because I heard so much about the semiauto crossbow and how they refused to add autofire on principle

Do you guys recall if they've ever done some sort of "BOOM 99% OFF ON 100 TITLES!" thing at the end of the sale?

all they do is revisit the most popular daily titles with the same discounts

Oh yeah, that's how it was. Still, my mouse APM was of no advantage.

By the way, bought Vice City at -75%.

Shoot Many Robots is pretty enjoyable

first thing they tell you is how it supports 4 player co-op

so is it crap in singleplayer in a borderlands way

Since I played through Borderlands and all DLC twice singleplayer and twice co-op I'm probably not a good person to answer that. M:
Every map involves running left to right, generally holding down LMB to spray your gun wildly. Leveling up gets you some minor bonuses (I forget the specifics but it's shit like a hair more damage) and gets you access to higher level items. The items can be rearranged for different builds/loadouts depending on your taste and playstyle. Very little enemy variety and very little map variety.
