Steam Summer Sale 2016 |OT| It's better than nothing

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is $4 and includes both the original and the UE4 version. Opinions on the game and which version is better? I've heard reception was mixed.
 
The apparent lack of a metagame makes this summer sale feel far more rote than last year's. Feels like the only reason this sale exists anymore is because Valve has to have a summer sale, there's nothing really unique about it unless Valve is doing another shitty ARG akin to the winter sale one.
 
Momodoro III was listed as $-.01 for a minute there.

The other Momo game only had a 20% discount when I saw it. Those two were ones I was looking forward to getting.

Westerado was sitting at 33% off. Not quite there yet.

Finding Teddy is at a good price. Neon Struct is, too. Technobabylon is looking like it's getting close to BUY territory.

And Beyond Good and Evil is still at its typical 50% off. Ubisoft hates me.
 
What's the cheapest non region locked region for Doom ? Kinda want to get it but not at my regional price.
 
Think so, it makes the sale much less of an event to me.

yup.

and don't forget with how valve has their market set up now you will have to set up a mobile authenticator (which requires you to put in a code any time you want to log into steam on pc or client... yay), and then for each card you want to sell list it and then confirm your listing. If you want to use an add on on PC to get you the prices quickly to sell, it means you list it and then have to click a button on the app.

you can do multiple listings but i error out most of the time after 3 or so.

i mean if you don't want to use one there is only a 15 day waiting period before the listing goes live, which makes it impossible to price correctly and while I haven't gotten a card yet I assume it expires before that 15 day waiting period would be over :/
 
The game still queues up actions like other Souls games. So if you are mashing buttons it will queue up the next input after the animation finishes.

I learned this the hard way in DS1 fighting the stray demon. I'd line up to do three hits to cause bleeding but would freak out a little and hit back too soon, so I'd go hit, hit, turn around and whiff. Eventually got it down and beat it but that was frustrating.

Me personally I am hoping for a sale on Dragon's Dogma.


I have an 80 game wishlist so I am sure I will get some emails about it.
 
I know the sale just started so problems are expected, so is everyone getting unexpected errors trying to check out?
 
Ghost 1.0 50% off, maybe a price mistake since it JUST came out last week. its the new metroidvania from the maker of UnEpic, which was great.

theres actually some decent deals if you look deep enough, like on stuff that wasnt this deep before. Gabriel Knight and Castaway (gaffer made I believe?) both 75% off for example
 
Ugh, money taken out of my wallet but no email confirmation nor the game in my inventory

Goddamn it, if I have to go through support for this, I'm going to be annoyed
 
This is actually worse than nothing. I don't see any good deals that I feel comfortable jumping on before the humble monthly drops.
 
Guys, Satellite Reign 9,23€

Get it

They're also testing co-op for that game in beta patch!

Game is pretty but i was pretty disappointed by what the mystery is revealed to be about, but it's worth it for $4. Good hiking simulator similar to Firewatch.
 
God damn, the store is slow as fuck, as always. The percentages for most of the games on my list are shit, though. Won't get Firewatch and SUPERHOT.

Probably going to get Stick of Truth, MegaNeptunia ReBirth1, Valkyria Chronicles and maybe DOOM. How's Symphonia PC now?

bundles in general and especially humble have really taken the wind out of sales for me the last few years. Mot of the indies I would buy I just think "mweh not gonna play them right now and it will just get bundled"
 
website not working for me, but I can use the steam client. it's slow though.

edit: nm, it's not working either.

Why stress so much? Buy when everything has settled so you don't have to worry about these things
 
I'm seeing Hotline Miami 2 for dirt cheap and I'll probably snag Undertale as well.

So prices will be the same till 4th of July and there'll just be other games highlighted every day without an extra discount?
 
Stardew Valley at $11.99? Go for it?

Also Fable Anniversary for $5. Time to finally play it.

Stardew Valley is getting a Wii U and/or 3DS release right? Thinking I'm going to keep waiting if that's the case. Rather play that on the big TV relaxing or on the gamepad.
 
Oh, and the Project CARS GOTY got a price raise to 82€, just so they can slap the 50% tag on it. Fuck these guys.
