The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

[Naveen]

Only if you play it on the highest difficulty setting and try to ghost you may feel -sometimes- you are playing some Thief-like game. I'd ignore the main story (and all the cutscenes and the "plot", which are retarded) and focus on the secondary missions or roam around the city, which may be the closest thing to a "thief" experience. It does not have a Thief atmosphere, though, as they removed Garrett's sarcasm and his personality, the Pagans, the Hammerites, the game's humor, its mood, and basically everything that made Thief special.

 

[tormund]

It really has nothing of the Thief atmosphere.
That game is an unsalvageable mess, but I guess if you still want to play it after everything you had to see and hear about it since its release, then there is no stopping you...

Divinity: Dragon Commander.

Once again, I remember how awful I am at RTS games. Take the worst player you can think of and multiply it by 1938695039.

If I get Disciples 2 Rise of the Elves and Gallean's Return on Steam is it the same as buying gold edition off GOG? I'm looking for more TB strategy games and RTS to play.

XCOM franchise (old and new) for sale. Got XCOM 2 Digital Deluxe. Got also WH40k Space Marine for 4.99 €.

Now I only need time to actually play these.

Also, is Thi4f really that much worse than Deadly Shadows?

I know it's not a great game, but I thought about experiencing it just for, you know, reasons. To enjoy the Thief atmosphere with modern graphics at least. It's better looking than the Dark Mod.

I mean people say shit tastes like shit, but do you really take them at face value? Why not try tasting a little shit to see if it's really as shitty tasting as everyone says it is?

Deadly Shadows was a proper Thief game. While there were some elements of the decline there because it had to be ported to consoles of the time (level breaks mostly), the game was good to very good with some great levels.

Thi4f is a fucking disgrace made for the retards of today, which are objectively worse than the retards of 12 years ago.

You can always ask for a refund, which you will do in ten minutes.

Install the Dark Mod instead.

Or poke one of your eyes out.

Or murder a beloved family member.

Any of these choices are a better use of your time than playing Thiaf.

I have never bought more than 2 games at one time, but I never paid attention to steam sales before and realize now I have been being stupid with my money. But now I may not need to buy another game for like a decade or something. I think I only spent like 84 dollars on all of these games and since I got a $100 dollar gift certificate to steam I still have some money left.

Is it possible to ever resell or trade these steam games somehow? I thought I have heard of such a thing, but never really have pursued it...

also fuck, now I feel overwhelmed, I don't know where to start..which one should I play first?

 

[Alienman]

Original War

 

[Drog Black Tooth]

the escapist + dlc
never alone

and i bought gabriel knight

0 dollars spent because i got the money from selling steam trading cards that have accumulated past 5 months

 

[Baron Dupek]

Srs Sam 3 begining would be ok if not the tight corridors. You play Serious Sam games to avoid them not to fall in them again.

If I get Disciples 2 Rise of the Elves and Gallean's Return on Steam is it the same as buying gold edition off GOG? I'm looking for more TB strategy games and RTS to play.

yes
I bought Gold Edition on GOG and can choose to install GR or RotE separately.

B-b-but that sweet, delightful feel of throwing money at products... things that we might never touch or drop after hour - two.
And better shitposting on ancient Thief1/2/3 entries.
Why not pay for good thing when you can pay for shit product and feels good because money were spend?

Halp, trying to buy a game for my niece, I know she liked the cover picture when we were browsing Steam a few weeks ago but can't fucking remember the name...or really anything about it.

There was a a big brown bear-like creature with glowing red eyes sitting on one side and I wanna say red or orange squirrel (?) on the ground, looking at it. It seemed like a forest setting or some such. I wanna say it's an indie platformer for kids but not sure. It's probably a relativelly new game, a few years back max. Rings a bell anyone? I've been wading through the Steam catalogue for 15 minutes now but it's pointless, there are thousands of games. Thx.

 

[Berekän]

This thing. I remember seeing it on my storefront a few times.

If you bought them as an inventory gift and have not added them to your account, then, yes, such a thing as SteamTrades does exist. Though it is a den of iniquity that preys on noobs. There's also trading for Steam keys and then cashing out, if you like pissing your virtual money away for spare change.

 

[Great Deceiver]

Pretty awful sale honestly, probably the worst so far.

 

[HoboForEternity]

Pretty awful sale honestly, probably the worst so far.

+1 for the Sorcery! game

i played trough all 4 when 4th game was released. one of my best adventuring ever

 

[Great Deceiver]

Sorcery is really great. Have you tried Warlock of Firetop Mountain? It's a really different interpretation of the "choose your own adventure" books. Combat is especially interesting.

 

[HoboForEternity]

no. didnt even know this exist till now (or i might have heard about it, but never really got into my radar)

 

[Metro]

It's great but... fundle bodder.

 

[Drog Black Tooth]

Just a heads up. Buying most EA games on Steam also allows you immediately redeem them on Origin. And Steam's prices are currently much cheaper, tons of great deals.
