The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

[Phage]

Derpblivion will probably win the next vote.

I voted for it.

Reason is, there is no fucking reason to buy it when the Deluxe version have all the DLC, voting for it is being a Troll as voting for Far Crap Too is being a fucking asshole because people might buy it and people should just buy Torchlight II.

It will include the deluxe edition. Every other poll like this has included all of the DLC/other editions in the sale.

Unreal Collection now in a flash sale.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Unreal Collection, we meet again. ONCE MORE I WILL STARE AT YOU AND THINK ABOUT REBUYING UNREAL TOURNAMENT AND UT2K4 JUST TO HAVE THEM ON STEAM. WILL TONIGHT BE THE NIGHT? WILL YOU FINALLY GET ME?

(maybe should, damned if i know where my ut disc is. hell, not even sure where ut2k4 is)

 

[Forest Dweller]

Just getting Unreal 1 and 2 is cheaper. Have no need for multiplayer bullshit.

Let me know if you want that MHC and then I could get you something else for $1.50-$2 to fill in the OMD2 gap. New flash deals are up... JC2 and Anomaly... wow. I really think every deal is a daily, flash, and in a vote at least once. Talk about overkill.

Ok, so here's the weird question: Is Unreal Tournament 3 fun to play with bots? I remember playing first one long time ago and having real good time with those pretty smart artificial dudes.

 

[TripJack]

Save your money bro, UT3 is garbage anyway you slice it.

 

[insukk]

Money saved.

 

[Gragt]

I don't mind creepy modding but the Tenth Doctor and the Tardis in Oblivion are where I draw the line.

Also UT3 is very good.

It's probably not anything special, if you joined the summer camp group (and why wouldn't you!?) you'd be hearing their whole stupid little story. And how they talked about activities the first few days then promptly shut up about them. Where are my activities Valve, I can't play videogames unless I have activities.

Screw activities! I want my Half-Life (Episode?) 3, god damn it! In Episode 2 someone died, if my memory serves me well, i want to know how Gordon wil avenge this someone.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

I'm gonna take a wild stab in the dark and say he beats a bunch of people and zombies to death with a crowbar. And then Gordon and Alyx have first person unskippable non-cutscene sex where you're staring at Alyx's face as Gordon thrusts and you wiggle your mouse left and right to shake your head no no no and blinking your flashlight but Gaben doesn't care, you're watching this whole scene until it's over mister.

The TARDIS by Drekmoor is set up to react to different control input. Depending on which controls you choose to insert the TARDIS will materialize in different parts of Cyrodiil. E.g. in 7(+/-) different locations of each of the nine cities, at deadric shrines, at wayshrines, in cloud Ruler Temple plus a lot more.
All the controls are however locked. You need to activate a console in the Auxiliary control room to add you character as a pilot for the TARDIS to fly. Being added as a pilot also changes a few other things which I've chosen to list in the spoilers section of the ReadMe found in the compressed file.
Once you are a pilot you can dematerialize the TARDIS and then select either a city or a direction north, south, east or west.
From there you can choose either you specific destination, in the city or somewhere in the worldspace of Cyrodiil.

The n, s, e and w settings are a bit complicated to use since they are only marked in numbers, where as the city options have hintfull names.
If however you read through the manual on the desk next to the main door there is a list of the different combinations and where they'll take you.

The TARDIS also has a few optional features which can be turned on and off at will.
Buttons that changes preferences:
- Blue stabilizers
- Helmic Regulator
- Handbrake

The Blue Stabilizers control the 'Shudder effect', which is the players view being rattled whenever a flight control is set.
Also, if the blue stabilizers are off, while in flight, random shudders might occur at different uncorrelated time intervals as you would expect in the real TARDIS.

The Helmic Regulator, inspired by atlantiantokradesu on the nexus forum. The background information on this item is that it levels out fluctuations in the TARDIS time/space travel capabilities and makes the positioning more accurate as opposed to being completely random and never being able to land in its designated destination.
How it works ingame: If disabled the TARDIS will most often still land where you choose, but occasionally it will take you somewhere completely different. It's about 81/100 of getting you to the right place but it varies from each destination.
The Helmic Regulator has one additional effect listed in the spoilers section, but if you want the full experience of this effect you should in stead just play with the Helmic Regulator off and see what happens, though it should be said that there is a very low probability of the special event occurring so you might have to play with the setting off for a while.

The Handbrake simply switches off the TARDIS flight sound and enables it again.

so much more immersive than fast travel eh Gragt

Hmmmm.... UT 2k4 without having to juggle a ton of CDs would be cool...

Just fetched my discs. The CD key that came with them 8 years ago won't activate on steams

And still that would be, because it's Valve, they can't be wrong.

 

[sgc_meltdown]

they have been pretty wrong with this whole wondrous sales thing so far

ideally there should be a new knockout deal every day but so far there hasn't been a single one except for the 90% railworks thing which made the ZERO train fans here very happy and no mhc is not a train fan he's just a buying stuff from steam fan

why perhaps he might even purchase this because it's going for 75% off right now

How the fuck did Torchlight win? Guess it was basically a three way tie but who the fuck doesn't have Torchlight by now?
