The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

[mastroego]

Got Rise of the Tomb Raider too (basic, none of the additional skins and all that stuff).
Final tally of all the shopping: about 65€.

Not that you care, I know

 

[Country_Gravy]

Endless Legend Collection. Hope it's worth it.

 

[mck]

Is there a chance Stardew Valley will be marked down further, or will it just stay at 20% off til the end of the sale?

 

[Siveon]

It'll stay at 20% off. Steam doesn't update sales anymore.

 

[Forest Dweller]

So...there's no daily deals or flash sales? Every discount I see is going to remain the same until July 4?

 

[Siveon]

Pretty much, yeah.

Yes. Some games won't be on sale during the whole sale, though.

[Metro]

Actually talked myself out of Dungeon Lords. Might be the first Steam sale I don't buy anything. Still considering Thea, though.

 

[Desur]

Is there a way to see if a game is on steam but not gog without manually searching gog for each one?

You could also try salenauts.com, just search for a game there and you'll see if it's available on Steam/GOG (and it has the added benefit of listing the current prices).

 

[Infinitron]

WTF? Civ 5 with all DLC 92% off? Is this a bug? http://store.steampowered.com/bundle/575/

 

[Unkillable Cat]

WTF? Civ 5 with all DLC 92% off? Is this a bug? http://store.steampowered.com/bundle/575/

Looks legit on my end.

Still doesn't make me want to buy it, though.

Half my friends list has the game now. It's been this price since the sale started, I think.

This thread for the last two years or so: kodexers gathering around PC gaming's remains.... less and less every year....

Bethesda inflating Steam price of Skyrim in order to take advantage of steam summer sale. So, those who are planning to buy for whatever reasons (free" new version", Endreal releasing, etc), don't.

 

[The Dutch Ghost]

Does anyone here know of any decent sci fi themed FPS that are now on sale?
I already have the Half Life games, Jedi Knight games, most Wolfenstein games. Deus Ex series (though I would not classify those as full FPS), System Shock 2 (similar thoughts as with Deus Ex), Doom 3 and expansion (not interested in Doom 4 as I already mentioned on another thread), and * sigh * Aliens Colonial Marines (it was a birthday gift)

Decent? Dunno, I got Hard Reset (not the redux version or whatever) for pennies years ago, is k, never finished it. Blatant Blade Runner thematic rip off, but whatevs...

Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon is not scifi but it's possibly one of the best shooters releases in recent times.

Spoiler

On a more serious note:
The Crysis series(apparently there's some trouble with getting the first one to work on modern systems so might want to just get C2 instead) - http://store.steampowered.com/app/17300/
The Metro games - http://store.steampowered.com/app/286690/
Lost Planet (2 seems to be the most popular if you want to buy just one) - http://store.steampowered.com/app/45750/?snr=1_5_9__300
Project Snowblind (basically Deus Ex: Invisible War with even less RPG elements and more shooting, it's hardly a masterpiece but maybe what you are looking for) - http://store.steampowered.com/app/7010/
All of them are 75% off. Metro is probably the best unless it doesn't fit your idea of sci-fi.

 

[The Dutch Ghost]

Thanks for the reactions.

racofer. I have Far Cry Blood Dragon and it is sort of sci fi ish with an 80s movie atmosphere but I really don't want Uplay on my PC.

Lunac. Yeah I have played that game and finished it but I don't think it was really that special. Hmm, it ripping off the theme of Blade Runner, I had not thought about it at the time but I can see the similarities.

Desur. Years ago I bought Crysis 2 for a Star Trek FPS mod that never got finished (taught me never to go ahead and buy a game in order to play an upcoming mod for it). I played it for a few days but afterwards never came back to it.
Metro, I played 1 but for some reason a bug prevented me from finishing that game.
The Lost Planet games, had forgotten about those, I'll check them out.
Project Snowblind. I remember that one, bought the boxed version years ago but for some reason it did not want to run on my PC back then. Could be an okay new experience.

Metro has a very strong atmosphere of its own which is more depressing post apocalypse than Fallout which still has a form of optimism.

 

[Martius]

First two Lost Planet are pretty decent although mind few warnings. Second game uses gfwl, first game too but there is also separate steam only version. Both game are pretty good, second one is focused on co-op. Bots ai is pretty bad so I would avoid this one unless you wont mind that or have someone to play with. Third is not using gfwl but its pretty bad game since it wasnt developed by Capcom. What was pretty fast third person shooter with small mechs is now cover shooter with qtes disguised as mech.

 

[The Dutch Ghost]

Ugh dammit, GFWL and QTEs, two elements in gaming I really hate. Thanks for the warning in advance.

I see you are missing E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy, which is quite good and fits your sci fi themed requirement (and it's also on sale).

 

[pippin]

As a friendly reminder, try to get the Dark Forces games on GOG if you haven't. Jedi Knight games work alright on steam but the Dark Forces games are shit on Steam, not playable at all.
