The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

[Ivan]

imo only the first is truly worthwhile. 999 I believe it's called.

Little advice for everyone, before buying games check prices on other sites because you can often find better deals.

Or you could install the Enhanced Steam extension for your browser.

I think I'm finally gonna pick up BGII: EE. They're supposed to release patch 2.5 very soon, so that I can finally play my favorite RPG in the superior Herrensprache.

I actually mentioned Enhanced Steam in my post but unlike AllKeysShop it doesnt show prices of key seller sites.

Also site like IsThereAnyDeal lets you to wishlist game for certain price so you get email notification when the game gets on sale across all game stores.

Guise is GTA V good for 16 jewro? Never played a GTA game before but sometimes I enjoy dumb popamole open-world games like AssCreed or Far Cry.

 

[Ivan]

Sleeping Dogs is better and cheaper

 

[Don Peste]

I don't know what this is, but I recommend it.

Not the most exciting of purchases but hey, I own most of the good shit out there. Played some Duke already and that lighting does look nice I have to say. Assuming the new campaign is half-decent I think it's $5 well spent. Mega Man keeps the slowdown from the NES versions, which is stupid and atrocious. Fuck puritan losers who would ask for such a thing. Played Bulletstorm Windows Live edition already years ago and enjoyed it a ton, fuck you haters. Everything else on there will probably take me years to install.

Buy San Andreas instead.

Ah, Vendetta - Curse of Raven's Cry. I see you are a distinguished connoiseur.
If I remember correctly, I was positively surprised by the writing. There was a lot of cursing, posturing and sexism, which is as I would imagine a pirate society.
Gameplay was similar to Two Worlds.
But I think I stopped playing because of the sea battles.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

why did you waste dosh on Shardlight?

Why not? Is it bad?

 

[Zombra]

DalekFlay - Kathy Rain is good; good choice. Make sure to set aside a couple evenings for it back-to-back, there is no in-game journal and you will forget important stuff if you don't play it all at once.

I grabbed:
Prey refunded @($#%&@Q#* console controls
Firewatch
Distrust

none of which I expected to pick up but the prices were all so low I decided it was time. I am going to play them all.

oh also
A Long Road Home

 

[DalekFlay]

Ah, Vendetta - Curse of Raven's Cry. I see you are a distinguished connoiseur.

I'll buy damn near any open world "RPG" for less than $10. Whether that means I am drowning in American decadence or just have no standards is up for interpretation I guess.

I figured a Wadjet Eye adventure was worth a few bucks. Is it worse than the rest of their stuff?

 

[Zombra]

Never heard of this before. Glanced at the steam page, saw three cinematic trailers and zero gameplay trailers. This does not imply a developer confident in their exciting gameplay. Moving on.

 

[Ivan]

I figured a Wadjet Eye adventure

I'm being dramatic. It's easily the worst Wadjet Eye (published) adv game I've played, but by no means is it horrible/dull (e.g. Broken Sword 2). I was just expecting much much more based on the cool art and setting.

I still remember Darth Roxor's joke of the Prison Escape being stupidly easy

MAXIMUM PRISON - 1 guard. Butcher Bay it is not

Like every time, the current sale is worse than the previous ones. Most of the stuff in my wishlist has been on higher discount before. Devs seem to have second thoughts about selling their games for pennies like in the past. Too bad I'm a cheap bastard and won't pay higher than the lowest historical price. Doesn't matter that much though, my wishlist is full of 500+ titles of shovelware, sometimes I feel like I am collecting trash.

I probably won't buy anything at all, maybe I'll give AoD+DR a go or some adventure game. I am glad about speding ~20$ on the gog summer sale, got better discounts on some titles, plus they offered cool rewards.

 

[Ninja Destroyer]

I've grabbed "Beam me up Vince" aka Age of Decadence and Dungeon Rats in a bundle, very good deal.

 

[Ivan]

My tentative haul:

Dropsy
Fran Bow
Dying Light Enhanced Edition
Lara Croft GO
Hard West - Complete Edition
The Last Door

Still on the fence on:
Thimbleweed Park
Ruiner

everything else is still too expensive IMO

 

[Zombra]

The Last Door

Definitely good. Too bad the soundtrack doesn't come with it but you should still get it.
Actually, hit me up if you want the soundtrack.

 

[Vorark]

The sale is basically a case of

 

[Belegarsson]

I feel like I'm obliged to post this video on Raven's Cry whenever I see it being mentioned somewhere

 

[Latelistener]

The Last Door

You can only buy the Collector's Edition from Steam and it has the soundtrack: https://steamdb.info/sub/39280/apps/

 

[Haba]

Those days I only buy games if they hit 5.99 or lower.

Some games never will hit that.

Sad!
