Tizoc, I followed your advice to check out that bird game (Aviary Attorney) but now I'm so confused. Are they birds with human hands or humans with bird heads? For reference there are more animals and the same questions still stands. I need answers.

Also, I found your lack in mentioning Marlow Briggs worrying but then I saw there is no discount. So it's okay. ;)
 
Just saw this in the Lightning Returns thread, was it posted in here?

24th December 2015 Game Update

24 DICEMBRE - KNISHIKA

Hi everyone and thank you for playing LIGHTNING RETURNS FINAL FANTASYXIII!

On the 24th of December 2015 we issued a game update, the details of which are below:

Changes to game content:

1. The following display resolution settings have been added:
「3840 x 2160」「3200 x 1800」「2880 x 1620」「2560 x 1440」
「2400 x 1350」「2160 x 1215」

Caution: Please note that if a resolution setting is selected that is not supported by your display, the game will automatically run at the maximum resolution available within your PC environment.

Caution: Depending on the resolution settings selected, the game may suffer considerable drops in processing speed or cease to boot properly. It is recommended that you play using resolution settings suitable for your PC’s specifications.

2. Support for booting the game in an offline environment:
As LIGHTNING RETURNS FINAL FANTASY XIII is a software title that supports SteamCloud, it previously required an online environment for play. We have listened to your feedback, however, and added in the ability to boot the game in an offline environment as well.

We hope you continue to enjoy LIGHTNING RETURNS FINAL FANTASY XIII and wish you a very happy holiday.
 
From the makers of... uhh, Hard Reset and Shadow Warrior 2013
(it's good)

well i guess i can't because that game isn't available in the chilean steam store for some reason ( i can see the page but there is no price or purchase button ) , too bad it looked like a game i would like :/
 
As someone who likes adventure games, should I play The Longest Journey? I noticed there's a bundle with it and its sequel on it. Should I grab that?
 
Which is absolutely a good thing. Rather than being pressured into making a choice and spending money you don't have, you can browse at your leisure and pick up discounts.

It's crazy how ingrained the cynical marketing ploy of 'flash sales' is in our psyche, that we've decided that the lack of them is boring.

This x 1000.

It's so refreshing to not feel pressured into buying via Flash/Daily windows. It makes me look at the Big Picture and decide based on my entire Wishlist as a whole, not just scraps that show up here and there during random Flash or whatever.

It gives me better context to parse out genre purchases. As I mentioned before, if I want a hot new retro-CRPG, blindly purchasing Divinity: OS on Day Two of the sale because it's a Flash and it's my ONLY CHANCE for that price, it does me no good when I see Pillars of Eternity, the title I really wanted more, on Day Four Flash sale.

The pressure makes me waste money impulse-buying "close enough" titles for fear of not getting what I really want as there's no guarantee my #1 choice will even get a deep discount.

The new system does away with all of that mental juggling and offers the luxury of sorting through my top pics and deciding what I really want and what I realistically have time for.

My buying has dropped precipitously since, but this can only be a good thing as my prior habits had my buying dozens of games that have yet to even be installed on my computer. Now I'm making intelligent purchase decisions and ** GASP!! ** immediately playing the games I bought.


To me its not about whether its boring or not, but it kinda seems the discounts arent that great like they used to be.
It feels like, because publishers/devs dont have that one day or 12 hours, where they could set the discount at 75%, they just set it as 50% and wouldnt want thee game to be on 75% for 2 weeks.

Not so sure about this. Prices seem the same to me (Wolfenstien is -85%, Pillars is 60%, etc.). Though I obviously don't have the historical data to back it up. Just seems like newer to older, popular to niche IPs/generes that I'm interested in have the same deep discount percentages that I've come to expect during Daily/Flash over the years. Only this time it's for the entire sale and not some arbitrary high-pressure window.

Yeah you should, the series is well regarded, in addition check out
Monkey Island series
LucasArts games (there's a bundle of them)
Broken Age
Grim Fandango
Blackwell series http://store.steampowered.com/sub/13237/ (Bundle was cheaper during past sales but the games are more than worth it)
Aviary Attorney

That's it off the top of my head :P
 
I really hate you GAF! Damage so far because of this thread:

- Brothers A Tale of Two Sons
- Final Fantasy XIII-2
- Final Fantasy Type-0 HD
- Just Cause Collection
- Life is Strange
- Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky
- Resident Evil HD Remaster (8€ in the Ubi shop)
- Tales from the Borderlands
- The Last Remnant + Murdered Soul Suspect (Tier 1 SE HB)

Everything for 60€. Initially I only wanted to buy the FF's + RE Remaster, I hope I made a good decision buying the others (specially Trails in the Sky and TftB)
 

4.27$ price mistake in Colombia. If you live in a South American country try to find someone in Colombia so you can take advantage of this deal.
 
Just sold a G-Force foil for 5$

Thanks! I've already played most of those. You did remind me to grab Monkey Island 2 SE so thanks for that :D I'm gonna wait for Aviary Attorney to drop in price a bit.

No luck in Costa Rica, for the record :P

For some odd reason the only thing that shows up in the bundle is sniper elite 3. I think something is wrong with the store page :(

Merry Christmas everyone
 
the Rebellion deal. That's a great deal, I'd for sure paypal someone a bit extra off they area able to buy that. Pretty great deal. What's the regular sale price on that?
 
So the damage so far..

KOTOR 2. Never played any of these and I read number 2 is a really good game. Just kinda hoping I don't need to play 1 to know what's going on.

Undertale. Played an hour earlier and it looks great.

Dark souls 2. Played on PS3 but never did the DLC. So looking forward to this.

That's it so far. Kinda want alien isolation but have played half the game on PS4 and don't really fancy playing it through again to get to same point.
 
I'm considering buying my dad a game on this sale. He loves puzzle games, things like Mah Jong, Chess, Sudoku. Back in the days of old when he used to play he loved Sokoban, Boulder Dash, and Lemmings. I'm sure there are many great indie games he would love but I'm out of touch with these kinds of games. All recommendations would be welcome.

Desktop Dungeons

It's got an RPG and rogue-like overlay, but at its core it is a straight up puzzle game. It can get really difficult.
 
My purchases so far:


  • Why Am I Dead At Sea
  • The Longest Journey
  • Dreamfall: The Longest Journey
  • Grim Fandango Remastered
  • Monkey Island 2 Special Edition
Also bought Undertale as a gift for a couple of friends who wanted it.

Anyone know if this is cheap anywhere atm?
Alt. known as the Genesis collection.

Well I'll admit it's a short game, but hasmultiple endings, IMHO the length and presentation of the game, visually and dialog-wise is well worth the price of admission :3
 
So how does a US person purchase from Nuuvem now? In the past, I've used a Brazilian proxy to go in and then pay via paypal. That doesn't seem to be working anymore though.
 
My purchases so far (using funds from the Trading cards I sold on the market):

  • Particle Mace
  • Origin: Prelude
  • Kung Fury: Street Rage
  • Double Dragon: Neon

You need a brazil paypal account as well for most things. There is a guide somewhere. I only buy proxyable games because I am lazy.
 
Happy Holidays GAF, I hope you all have a good time the next days :)

have some games!

Well, that kinda kills that.

I guess the only hope is getting a Brazilian GAFer to make the purchase, and I paypal them. Probably too much hassle for the little things I'd wanted to pick up (about $16 worth).
