I always get drops within two hours.

There's some discussion that if you're a long-standing member or have never refunded a game, Valve doesn't hit you with the idle time restriction.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/3qicjc/2_hours_for_card_drops_removed_for_some_games/

I think restricting the card drops to be after two hours is silly. Make it so cards can be traded when you hit two hours. That way, short games could be played back to back and still get your cards without wasting time.
 
The amazing ones are the first two, right? (I have only played them, and if other are even better...)

Yeah the first 2 UFO Defence and Terror from Below, Apocalypse is pretty good too though a bit jarring being set inside a single city and it adds real-time with pause. The other two, bleh....
 
An X-Com-related post is close to "happy x-mas" isn't it? Close enough.
The amazing ones are the first two, right? (I have only played them, and if other are even better...)

X-COM: UFO DEFENSE is the GOAT. You will know true fear in those dark nights.

It'll take like 15 hours to figure out what the heck you're doing, though. And the Steam version has miserable performance for a DOS game; not sure if there's a tweak for that or what.
 
I loved the original X-Com games, but with Xenonauts out there just really isn't much reason to play them. Xenonauts gives you everything those games did, and some of what the Firaxis reboot did and didn't as well. Well worth whatever you end up paying you're a fan of the genre.

My sale looks to be over after picking up Kings Quest Ep 1, 12 is Better Than 6, and Sunless Sea. I love wierd fiction, so I really hope Sunless Sea delivers!
 
Finally 100%'d SquareCells. It took me 7 hrs because the last world is pretty tough and I have no patience at all. It's no Hexcells, but it's still great to have. I'm there for any future installments.

Also, Dark Mode is life:

I'll take this time to tell you all to buy the Hexcells complete pack. An amazing puzzle series for less than $3!

didn't know there was dark mode

that's such a game changer damn it
 
How's it coming along, anyway?

And what about that other SteamGAF game where they showed off the WinterDemons walking (swaggering?) sprite?

Last few months have seen a bit of a slowdown for production, since everyone's been hit with finals, work and family time for the holidays. We've tinkered with some odds and ends in the meantime, but we won't be back to the grind until 2016 rolls around. I want it out just as much as everyone else! X_x

i want a winty man plushie

Negotiations on that were rather pointed, to say the least. We're closing in on a contract we think will leave all parties satisfied!

I notice some cameos!

Hopefully it releases in early 2016!

\o/

There's a few characters there being teased whom we haven't revealed yet! You'll know who they are sooner or later. Preferably sooner!

Thanks for posting this. I love Hexcells and had no idea the creator made a new game.

Edit: Oh maaan it's like Picross? I'm buying this immediately.

Hey friends, I'm going to take this time to recommend Elliot Quest. It's like a Zelda II + Metroid-ish open-ass world, and it's really cool. Really, really cool. It's got a ton of content, lots of it optional, and it's got some interesting puzzles built into the world. Here's the thing, it doesn't hold your hand. Like, it won't even go anywhere near your hand. It plops you into the world, and you have to figure it out from there. It can be difficult, but it's not La-Mulana confusing or anything like that.

It's 5 bucks right now, the cheapest it's been on Steam (it's been cheaper on Humble), and it's a 12-20hr journey. 12 if you just do the mandatory stuff, far more if you decide to explore. Pro tip: Keep track of stuff in the world. You may need to backtrack a few hours later, and it's really easy to forget things. Keep track of locked doors and unreachable items. Trust me on that.

It's good stuff. One of my favorite games of 2014.

Happy Holidays everyone!
 
Bah, not enough money. Only game I really want that's out is Rainbow Six Siege with the Season Pass, but I'll hold off, I think. I'll keep what little Steam cash I have for the new Homeworld or Dragon's Dogma.

Someone remind me to do a modbot giveaway at some point; I think I have a few games.

Guys, another game I recommend is Boot Hill Heroes:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/313470/

The game is very very good, it's a not-too-short rpg with some Mother's vibes.
The combat system is simple but challenging, the soundtrack is AMAZING and the story very interesting (I'm waiting for the sequel).

There's also a 1 dollar DLC adding around six hours od additional gameplay.

Oh, did I mention local cooperative?
 
games i've got so far:

papers, please - really enjoying it but not sure what i'm supposed to do with those strange people who keep turning up? i think they are part of some secret organization. i really want to unlock endless mode. i assume that means you can't be removed from your job and don't need to worry so much about family. i don't know.

system shock 2 - just started this. seems interesting but will take time to get used to the controls and how everything works.

undertale - everyone is going stupid over this game so i want to see what the fuss is about.

less than 50 dollars! not sure how this compares to the rest of you in pricing since im in a different region but wow!!!!!!! it's amazing. Going back or more!

Are these deals better than the typical pricing? I have no idea but all those star wars games and tomb raider seems like quite the steal at 10 and 5 dollars. Everything else there was 5 dollars or less. amazing... new steam user btw :)

How many games is that, i dont even know but have to go through this thread for more deals.

Some are, most aren't, but they are concentrated in space and time so you don't have to wait a year keeping an eye on prices, which is a big plus (for me).

Great loot! Cheers! I am enjoying the sale a lot as well. :-)

By the way, in terms of suggestions, I see you are into shooters, check out Binary Domain - it's a fairly modern one (and good).

not a creature was stirring
except everyone on GAF

here's the final beta key, nerds. Please PM me for instructions, per usual. To install, you need to right click the game in your library, go to Settings>Betas>Opt in to the beta.

Army of Tentacles FINAL GAF BETA KEY OMG -- MB-88FE5F4F3F688438 - Taken by kami_sama
 
I loved the original X-Com games, but with Xenonauts out there just really isn't much reason to play them. Xenonauts gives you everything those games did, and some of what the Firaxis reboot did and didn't as well. Well worth whatever you end up paying you're a fan of the genre.
!

The biggest thing the original games have is re playability. The maps are procedurally generated, so you never know the terrain, beyond generalities.

(XCOM2 will apparently feature this)

What's the game you're making for those of us steam thread newbies?

Erm, am I reading this wrong or are the maps on the new XCOM (of 2012) fixed???
 
XCOM: EU (Firaxis' XCOM) has premade maps, yeah. With the expansion, Enemy Within, it's not a big deal. But in the base game it could be a bummer, with you seeing the same map a few times in a campaign.

If you played XCOM:EU a lot it would be even more of a bummer.

XCOM 2 will definitely feature procedurally generated maps. That and mods are the main reasons they went PC exclusive this time 'round.

Yeah, it's great to have so many games I like and want to play. I will probably be adding BD to my list. I already finished it on ps3 but if the price is right might as well go for it!

Going to try and get a second haul going before sunday is over. :)

I love many genres, shooting, racing, platform, action, rpg so I need to do a better run through . Just seems shooters are most popular on pc and easily found.

I love puzzle and amplitude games as well. Anything with fun physics is nice too, contra, flight adventure, ico whatever.
 
Merry Christmas! :D
