GG Xrd released with a discount on Steam as well, so why not bring back THAT discount?

Because Arc is stupid to not have it be one month. But you know... new to Steam and all that.

What do you mean 'new to Steam'?
This isn't their first published game under the Arc Systems banner, they published
Battle Fantasia
Arcana Heart 3 Love MAX
GG XX AC+R

Hell even their bloody Japan-only Visual Novel is on sale.
 
Well I just finished Brother: A Tale of Two Sons and have finally composed myself after that ending. An absolutely brilliant game with very unique controls and interactions with the gaming world.

It's a bargain for its current steam sale price. I'm sure most of you have played it but if any of you haven't, it's almost impossible not to at least enjoy the game's uniqueness.
But if you can't engage with the story, you're heartless!
 
Occupational hazard of a Humble Bundle: stuff you already have.

Ah ok cool thanks.

And regarding buying it on steam versus free on ps4.. I think it's downright asinine to judge someone for getting the game for free via a service that you pay for...if you want to help the developer even more by buying it on steam then good on you but there is nothing wrong with not doing that.
 
Square Enix stuff.

The Realm Reborn MogStation codes only work on accounts that don't have the game yet, and thus can't be used to add additional sub time to your existing game.
Just so you know.

Any recommendations for local multiplayer games that are fun for non-gamers? Preferably at least four players.
Speedrunners and duck game are pretty simple concepts that people might be able to pick up quick. Also I have the Jackbox Party pack on my X1 and that's usually always fun to break out with a group for 4-8 people, plus they can just use their phones to play, no controllers needed.
 
Since Steam Sales bring out new players, here's a great game that everyone should have:

Let me know if there's anything wrong with the key.
 
Just played through Contradiction, and really, really enjoyed it! Highly recommended. Can anyone recommend a similar game to it? I've looked at Her Story and the Tex Murphy games, but haven't bit on any of them yet.
 
So I recently noticed Steam has been overcharging my purchases by a couple of dollars, ever since they changed the currency from USD to my local one. What is this hidden charge? Tax? They never specify this in their receipts.

I just added a ticket to Steam Support, gawd knows when will I get an answer back.
 
Xrd was released well afer Valve already requested discount levels for the Autumn and Winter sale.

What do you mean by that? I shoudl point out that FO4 WAS NOT discounted until a few days ago, since the start of the sale it seemed to be full price.

My first giveaway! I spent more money on the Humble Weekly then I needed to get D4 for you guys! Plus the previous Swery game that I have no idea ended up in my library! (I don't pay attention when bundles add games later on...)

I hope 3 hours is long enough. I may do 24 hours next for a larger pack of games (and allow multiple entries).

THERE WILL BE MORE TO COME
 
To claim that you own a game on Steam and that's it futureproof just solidifies some of my prejudice against the Steam-prophets that spit on other platform owners. Especially since the Christmas incident.
I'll enjoy playing GF on my Vita and buy it the next time it's on Humble Bundle, hopefully DRM-free.
You know, for the future proof I'll never use.

Did someone say Bad Rats?

One of these is Bad Rats and the other...? :)
 
I keep forgetting that's even a thing now.

I have used it three times this sale. I'll buy a game, give it a shot and if I don't like it I'll refund it. Been pretty nice. I have bought SO many games this sale since I got a $100 Steam gift card for Christmas. So far, here is my purchased list (I like survival games):

- The Long Dark
- 7 Days to Die
- The Forest
- Cradle
- Sherlock Holmes: Crime and Punishment
- The Talos Principle
- This War of Mine
- ARK: Survival Evolved
- Cook, Serve, Delicious

I still have about $10 - $15 bucks to spend. If anyone has any recommendations based on my list (top three so far are The Forest, This War of Mine and The Talos Principle) I would appreciate it. I am pretty sure I am going to get Portal 2. I had it for 360 when it came out but I have read about the mods for it and they seem like reason enough to drop $3 or $4 on it.
 

Cool, thanks for the tip about disabling the enhanced pointer precision.
I guess it will take some time to get used to, but apparently is worth it.


Even tho... I'm currently sporting a super old 400dpi (I think? it was the only number I've found looking around) Logitech optical mouse, that I've been using for more than 10 years (like, since before WoW, my god).

I should change it, I guess.

Is there a thread about gaming mice? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
 
Old mouse got loose contacts on both end of usb cord and so close to xmas I had to choose quick and got the cheapest, best-rated mouse. Will go for something more quality this time.

Check out Mionix, Steel series, Logitech, Corsaor, and Zowie. It's difficult to recommend a specific mouse since it's all about your hand size and how you grip it, bit those manufacturers tend to have good build quality and sensors.

I've actually owned quite a few mice since I'm very tall and have huge hands, so I've spent a lot of time finding a mouse that fits well in my hand.

What do you mean by that? I shoudl point out that FO4 WAS NOT discounted until a few days ago, since the start of the sale it seemed to be full price.

Ubisoft/ Bethesda likely scheduled those discounts individually before hand.
