losing my shit over this lol

this steam sale isn't the same

 

[JeffZero]

oh I'm totally with you, I hated vanilla Civ V, I still think it's very flawed Civ game, for reasons I won't go into here, but at least expansions made it more fun to play and it's likable now.

Hmm. Alright. Glad I'm not alone on this. (Well, I knew I wasn't; my roommates hated it. But they'll rip anything apart, haha.)

Likable is good. I'll pick it up!

 

[KingKong]

Why do i get the feeling Ubisoft is gonna cheat again and have dailies for stuff like FC 4 etc etc? Also the deals are pretty underwhelming tbh.

shit they better, finding ubisoft deals that come with steam keys is pretty damn hard

 

[Big Chungus]

Anyone doing a Rocket League 4 pack?

 

[Theanine3D]

As someone who loved the Telltale Walking Dead games, how much would I enjoy The Wolf Among Us and/or Tales from the Borderlands? Is one better than the other or are both good?

I haven't played Tales from the Borderlands, but I *loved* The Wolf Among Us despite not knowing a thing about it before I played it. All I knew was that it was from the same people who brought me the amazing TWD season 1. I think you would enjoy it too.

In some ways I actually liked TWAU more than TWD. The characters felt even more charming and memorable to me in TWAU.

Yeah I think they will, especially considering that only a few assassin creed games are on offer currently
Either that or halfway through the sale Valve will sudden go "SURPRISE DAILIES!"
But I doubt that will happen.

 

[Nillansan]

So what's the verdict on stasis?

It is awesome.

 

[derExperte]

So what's the verdict on stasis?

Pretty great, very dark, puzzles aren't too hard, mostly lives from story and atmosphere.

 

[cyborg009]

Got half a minute hero I loved the game on PSP.

 

[dEvAnGeL]

so, all the games have the highest discount they will get from day one? no more new deals every 24 hours?

 

[GaussTek]

Yes. No more dailies.

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

FFVII on PC, is it like the PS4 port where you can speed up the game and halt random encounters when you want?

 

[Lord British]

I can't get ys origins or ys vi, which is better then, Oath or I+II?

Oath.

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

FFVII on PC, is it like the PS4 port where you can speed up the game and halt random encounters when you want?

It's what the ps4 port is based off of so yeah

 

[Skux]

PSA for anyone considering The original Force Unleashed: The sound is totally screwed up if you are using a 5.1 setup. Music only comes out of the left speaker, and no audio comes out of the back channels. I have been looking for a fix for years but do not believe there is one. I have tried both a digital and pc speaker 5.1 setup.

Does it work if I set my PC to stereo or use headphones?

 

[Monooboe]

Holy shit, my ISP has upped the internet speed during chirstmas from 10mbit to 100mbit, perfect for downloading new games.

 

[Azull]

I was thinking of picking up fallout new vegas since I've never played it before (I'm sorry, I'm planning on amending that I swear). One question though, is the ultimate edition (the dlc attached to the main game) worth it?

 

[StereoVsn]

Sabaton in-game soundtrack for just £2? If I had the game it'd be a definite purchase!

Ooh, thanks for the reminder, need to catch up on some DLCs, and Common Sense is 66% off. Probably going to get El Dorado as well. Now, time to check Crusader Kings.

So looks like some EU4/CK2 DLCs, Endless Legend Shadows Expansion, Starpoint Gemini 2 Titans, One Way Heroics Plus, Long Dark, and Read Only Memories is going to be my haul for the sale.

I am debating on D4, Satellite Reign, Odallus Dark Call, Pathological HD, Chroma Squad, Neon Struct, Shantae Pirate Curse, Else Heart.Break, and Dreamfall Chapters.

Definitely.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Kind of wish SOMA was a little cheaper, I'd like to play it before my GOTY list is done because it looks right up my alley.

 

[Parham]

Woohoo! Picked up Pac-Man CE DX. That about wraps it up for me, as far as Steam sales go.

 

[Monooboe]

So if I had to choose, which one should I get Undertale or Ori and the Blind Forest?

 

[GaussTek]

FFVII on PC, is it like the PS4 port where you can speed up the game and halt random encounters when you want?

Nope, the PC version doesn't have those integrated. AFAIK, the only "official" cheats (which btw, need you to login on S-E website, weird I know) allow you to increase your character stats. But you probably can do it with an external trainer or something like it.

Edit. Here's more info about it:

[Self_Destructive]

FFVII on PC, is it like the PS4 port where you can speed up the game and halt random encounters when you want?

No. You can not do those things in the PC version.

You can speed up the game by using cheat engine and then binding the hotkey to a button on your controller, but those features are exclusive to the PS4 version of the game.

 

[texhnolyze]

I thought it made a game crash for many people, and caused other problems too. At least I remember this from that fix discussion thread.

It was, on the very first build (1.0).
The mod has been updated since then, now at 1.4. It's flawless.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

So if I had to choose, which one should I get Undertale or Ori and the Blind Forest?

That is a difficult decision. Undertale is chock full of charm and Ori is one of the best platformers and has stunning art.

 

[hlhbk]

Does it work if I set my PC to stereo or use headphones?

The music comes out of both speakers, but in my experience the sounds are still a mess. I really wish someone would find a fix for this issue since the pc version of the force unleashed at 60 fps is great.

 

[synce]

Any way to sort sales by % off?

 

[Onlinehero]

Is Puzzle Agent 2 as good as or better than the first one?

 

[Miker]

Did the devs ever fix the bug where custom songs wouldn't load if the path had a non-English character, like an accent (for example "á")?

I have absolutely no idea. Sorry

 

[RealityCheque]

Whole lot of stuff in that $10-12 range that I'm looking at, gotta decide what to pare down to:

Hand of Fate
Satellite Reign
Darkest Dungeon
Talos Principle
Alien Isolation
Cities Skylines

And there's always Dying Light, but weighed against two of those games, I dunno. What's the deal with the enhanced edition for that, again? Free upgrade? Comes out in a few months?

Alien Isolation 100% deserves your attention. Great, great game.

 

[hlhbk]

You guys are making is seriously hard to resist. I guess I'll keep telling myself that there's no way my graphics card would be able to keep up anyway.

 

[Dusk Golem]

Spoiler

I really liked how the twist at the ending was that the protag never actually was a soldier. He basically just learned all the skills through a feverdream of beeing one

Spoiler

I was tempted to me tion that, but I like how Alex fantasizes himself as some American Hero and how it effects him in the game.

 

[hlhbk]

Alien Isolation 100% deserves your attention. Great, great game.

I 100% second this.

 

[jshackles]

Any way to sort sales by % off?

https://steamdb.info/sales/ will show just that

 

[Bboy AJ]

Alien Isolation hands down.

 

[Toshin]

oh man 15+ pages already and its ale season...eep.

 

[Nimajneb]

Lords of the Fallen looks pretty tempting at $10, but the reviews are rather mixed. Is it a bad game compared to Dark Souls, or just a mediocre game in general?

 

[Hesh]

Man, no Ubisoft games on sale for this sale either? They keep playing hardball in trying to get me to pay for Assassin's Creed: Rogue Deluxe for Uplay, hopefully Amazon can be my savior and offer the Steam key for $15 again.

 

[Annubis]

You guys are making is seriously hard to resist. I guess I'll keep telling myself that there's no way my graphics card would be able to keep up anyway.

My 750 Ti runs the game flawlessly (although I don't have any crazy additional graphic modding / sweetFX)

 

[ramoisdead]

Don't know if it was mentioned and if it was, sue me, but Sonic: Lost World is 50% off during the sale. OK price if you like to go fast.

 

[iceblade997]

I was thinking of picking up fallout new vegas since I've never played it before (I'm sorry, I'm planning on amending that I swear). One question though, is the ultimate edition (the dlc attached to the main game) worth it?

Yes - the DLC is really good, and if you plan on modding it, a lot of mods may end up requiring it.

 

[KingKong]

apparently crafting the holiday badge adds flair to your profile page. anyone craft a badge yet?

 

[silva1991]

I bought the complete season of Life is Strange. do I need to download all episodes at the same time?????

 

[Gurkenmeister]

The first chapter of King's Quest 90% off!
Go!

 

[ramoisdead]

So if I had to choose, which one should I get Undertale or Ori and the Blind Forest?

I say Undertale since Ori is getting a Definitive Edition next year and who knows if there will be a loyalty discount for previous Ori owners.

Aw rasberries

Don't worry. The other site isn't selling a Steam key so no harm, no foul unless you don't care for adding a +1 to your Steam library.

 

[Ozium]

Even though there are no dailies, it feels weird to be buying things, and I keep thinking in the back of my head to check the store for new discounts

Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel the dailies... and the flash sales... even my meta games.

The deals I've lost... the excitement I've lost... won't stop hurting... It's like they're all still there.

You feel it, too, don't you?

 

[Anno]

Has anyone played KOTOR 1/2 on Windows 10 recently? I really want to replay the games and have them on Steam, but so many of the recent reviews say it's hard to get them running properly. Maybe they're better GOG purchases?

 

[Brazil]

Skylines is probably great. I hated the TT GoT game. All the choices lead to nothing (I know that all the TT games do this, but in the GoT game it's too obvious)

You should definitely play Tales from the Borderlands. That game does everything right - even making choices matter.
