Bought 12 Labours of Herculus II as a joke gift (it's 9p), but other than that, eh...

 

[Wingus]

7% off underrail lawl, why bother with a discount on that one

It was like when the game went out of early access a few days ago. I think the developer said it's an error.

 

[Jazz573]

Nah Returns is a great entry point imo.

Wish we could get the Genesis and SNES games.

 

[Sora_N]

Everyone who plays Dragonfall ends up loving it, you have no choice.

That's a pretty compelling reason hahaha. It's a great price now too.

 

[TheSeks]

How well does Phantom Pain run on GTX950 and I5 rig? I want to pull the trigger but worried it won't run well...

LMAO. Are you serious? This isn't a joke post????

I run the Phantom Pain on a GTX 760 and an i5 at 1080p with everything on High at 60FPS. Ground Zeroes was the same.

The Fox Engine (RIP) was amazingly optimized on PC.

Thanks. Will take a look.

 

[clashfan]

Should run great, I have a similarly powered rig and it can run it at high and above at 1080p/60fps, it's a very optimized game.

Thanks! Bought and downloading...

buy Overlord or were not friends anymore

 

[CHC]

How do I know if I'd like Shadowrun Dragonfall?

- Turn based combat
- Fun, light, not too "crunchy" RPG systems (not a lot of numbers and complexity)
- GREAT cast and pacing, almost like an 16 bit JRPG or KOTOR
- Rainy, neon-lit cyberpunk world
- Satisfying story with comic book-y writing

That's the deal basically. It's a fantastic game.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Maybe I should use a VPN just to get past last item in the queue....

 

[madjoki]

Userscript for discovery queues:

https://gist.github.com/nikop/0bf95...0b25e2c0b3db301768689f/discoveryqueue.user.js

(start one, and it gets automatically completed unless steam breaks).

Just to save some clicks.

7% off underrail lawl, why bother with a discount on that one

So it gets listed as a deal?

 

[KingKong]

Syndicate and Arkham Knight arent even on sale, didnt they get a discount on thanksgiving?

 

[Se7enSword]

How would ARK run on a laptop with 970m

It ran fine on my laptop with 970m

Admittedly, I closed it after 20 minutes though, it wasn't my type.

 

[zkylon]

The problem with the system is that it only works when they have enough data on you, the games you look at / buy / have no interest in, price ranges, genres, tags and people you associate with.

For all that to happen, you have to actually use it, which I suspect is the purpose of adding cards to it.

that's not true cos they already have tons of metrics on you because they know what you play and what you want to buy

pull the most recurrent tags out of the games with highest hour counts on your profile and grab the highest rated games out of those + the ones in discount

pull the most recurrent tags out of your wishlist and find good games with those tags

pull the most played and highest rated games from your friends lists. give priority to the ones that have the most shared playtime with you (say find people for me that play lots of new vegas and dark souls, ignore the people that have a billion hours in dota or whatever)

finally give some popular/good rating/best selling options but only as one or two every bunch of real suggestions, this way you're still peeking into unfamiliar genres and games

with your hourcount and wishlist you can offer much better suggestions than the garbage we're getting now

for the eleventh time i give no fucking shit about online shooters, stop suggesting that

 

[Saucycarpdog]

What's the consensus on Broken Age?

I'm only using it for the cards and that's it. Once the sale is over it's back to being ignored.

Ever since they changed the store-front, I've found myself caring less and less about checking the storefront and only waiting for people to say "yeah this is on Steam now" to wishlist/buy the stuff I'm interested in off GAF. That's a total redesign failure.

 

[Uzzy]

£2.19 for Shadowrun: Dragonfall is literal robbery. Buy it, feel ashamed of yourself for a moment, then play a truly incredible RPG.

On another cyberpunk note, Satellite Reign is 67% off, down to £7.58. A real gem that.

Damn :/

I remember really liking the Cold War Crisis campaign, but of course OFP was something completely new then, so it was easy to overlook its problems. (And weren't there many... Commanding a tank was such a chore as the AI was incredible accurate with bazookas.)

Yeah, OFP is still the best single player campaign they've done. I would still look at ARMA 3 for it's mods, especially Pilgrimage. You can check out a video playthrough from the author here. But if the price isn't right for you fair enough. The lowest it's ever been is 60% off though.

 

[Ozium]

How well does Phantom Pain run on GTX950 and I5 rig? I want to pull the trigger but worried it won't run well...

it will run fine you just might have to lower some settings

edit: oh a 950 lol you will be fine

 

[CHC]

7% off underrail lawl, why bother with a discount on that one

It's 20% off....

edit: yeah I made a mistake OK?

 

[Dr.Acula]

How do I know if I'd like Shadowrun Dragonfall?

As someone who played CRPGs from the late 80s/early 90s, the words "isometric, turn based cyberpunk RPG with branching dialog paths" was all I needed to hear. If this game came out in 1996 it would have been declared the greatest game of all time.

So if you like that era of PC gaming, then you'll like Dragonfall.

 

[Jazz573]

buy Overlord or were not friends anymore

But I thought it was bad? Or is that the sequel?

 

[SeeNoWeevil]

Just picked up Life is Strange EP1. Jeez, is the writing this bad throughout or does it get better?

 

[GRaider81]

Sitting here in hospital waiting on a procedure tomorrow. Thought I'd check out the sale for (fingers crossed) getting out before Xmas and some games to play to cheer me up.

Bit disappointed to say the least lol!

That said I want wasteland 2 and Divinity OS enhanced which are £15 and £20 respectively. Worth just taking the plunge at those prices?

Think I might get Metal Slug 3, meat boy and Ryse as they are all discounted fairly well.

Have £8ish credit so those 5 games for £40 ish seems OK.

Sort of tempted by Dying Light and Elite Dangerous too (though I do have Star Citizen I barely touched before coming in here)


On a side note I've been sucked into Hearthstone during my stay, already bought the 3 adventures and 100 cards, Eek!

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Here are some interesting games that are even cheaper than the cheap $2.49 category:

I skimmed through it but Guacamelee and Super Meat Boy and Brothers: A tale of two sons are steal at those prices. Highly recommend all 3.

 

[Marow]

It's clever having to go through the Discovery Queue in order to get free cards. It gives exposure to up to 36 games per day, which means a potential of a whoppin' 504 games throughout the whole sale.

Exactly as I'd like it, as the lack of exposure is starting to hurt the storefront.

 

[Jazz573]

It's 20% off....

Underrail. Not Undertale.

 

[DXLelouch153]

But I thought it was bad? Or is that the sequel?

sequel isnt as good as original yes
still a good game though

 

[CHC]

Underrail. Not Undertale.

I'm a fool

 

[Purkake4]

Aww, why have a 12 day sale if nothing changes

 

[Condom]

Gonna wait if there will be a Star Wars daily deal, really need Kotor II and battlefront

 

[The Dear Leader]

Everyone should buy The Fall for $2. It's a hell of a game.

Gonna wait if there will be a Star Wars daily deal, really need Kotor II and battlefront

I've got some bad news for you guy, no more dailies of flash sales unfortunately. That's as cheap as it'll get.

 

[Annubis]

Cook, Serve, Delicious! - $2

Make Chub proud, get CSD.

 

[Jazz573]

Make Chub proud, get CSD.

Yeah. Support GAFer made games.

 

[Uzzy]

Aww, why have a 12 day sale if nothing changes

So that we can buy stuff with all the Steam cards we'll be getting from friends and family for Christmas clearly.

Also I get paid in a week, and GabeN did me a good one and made sure the sale would be on when I have cash.

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

But I thought it was bad? Or is that the sequel?

Series got worse as it went, first is the best. The one that came out this year is apparently awful.

 

[Mothman91]

FUK YOU HELLDIVERS,


GIMME SOMETHING!@!@!@!@

 

[JJShadow]

EDIT: nothing

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

LOL yeah, I give up. Not going to bother with the damn queue.

 

[AColdDay]

How is Shadowrun: Hong Kong compared to the two others? I'm surprised the Stick of Truth isn't on sale...

I think Dragonfall is better. If you had to pick one to start with, then I would pick Dragonfall. I liked Hong Kong a lot less then Dragonfall.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Just picked up Life is Strange EP1. Jeez, is the writing this bad throughout or does it get better?

Much better.

 

[Condom]

I've got some bad news for you guy, no more dailies of flash sales unfortunately. That's as cheap as it'll get.

...

Why.

Valve really is dropping the ball on this one, guess these prices have to do then.

 

[ViviOggi]

 

[oti]

For GermanGAF: Amazon launched a sale today too and some prices are better. Korra for 3€, South Park for 5€ and so on. Just give it a try before you pull the trigger on steam.

 

[Large Professor]

If the discovery queue cards stay around 10 cents, that's a nice free game from gaben (3 X 0.08 x 12).

 

[gust23]

Can we have more than 66% on USFIV?

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

...

Why.

Valve really is dropping the ball on this one, guess these prices have to do then.

Probably because not a lot of people have time to be glued to the Steam store, and don't like missing deals.

 

[Kalor]

I've finally bought Snakebird after hearing only good things about it for months and that's a really good game. I'm stuck on level 4 right now and I'm looking forward to getting stuck on more levels.

 

[Stratosphere]

Boy this steam sale really sucks.

 

[derExperte]

We went from one of the best sales this summer to one of the worst.
GG.

For GermanGAF: Amazon launched a sale today too and some prices are better. Korra for 3€, South Park for 5€ and so on. Just give it a try before you pull the trigger on steam.

Far Cry 4 Uplay key is 14,99€. Still too much after missing the Origin price error though.
