Odallus: The Dark Call?

Stardew Valley is going to land in the vast majority of GOTY lists this year, both press & public.

JumpJet Rex is cool
Squirreltopia is fun (very tough, though)
If you have buddies, you could get Terraria. It is pretty boring solo D:

Rex Rocket for $2.50 is a fantastic pick up

Axiom Verge is $12, which seems to be the lowest it's been.

Kero Blaster is good stuff



Also a good choice.
Thanks guys.
I'll check these out.
 
Yeah, they could just make this a weekend sale now at this point.

Eh. This way they catch the people who get paid tomorrow and the people who get paid next Friday. Plus surface different deals on he front page daily. It seems like the right length to me.
 
how is sword coast legends? is this one of those where the game design is just poor to begin with, or is it one of those where later patches fixed problems?

I think I've heard people say that it's just "ok", good functionally but overall a disappointment. The later patched added a bunch.
 
The fuck? That seems like some anti-consumer bullshit. Imagine if someone told you this at a store.

uhhh, it's to prevent cheaters from stacking their inventories with the game I'm pretty sure. I mean, if you really wanted to gift someone CSGO, I'm sure there are alternative ways of doing so.
 
Wanted to pick up wolfenstein, skyrim, or dishonored but the "discounts" make it so the games are still pretty expensive. No discount on Ori, FFIX, or Mad Max is disappointing as well.
 
I finally made it through my discovery queue 3 times but I still can't see my inventory to sell the cards :(

I really don't understand how they fail to ramp up their servers properly at every sale. They know when the sale starts, they have a pretty good idea of how much traffic to expect, but they never do anything to prepare for it properly. Even without daily/flash sales, steam is going to be dead every day at 1PM because of it.
 
The fuck? That seems like some anti-consumer bullshit. Imagine if someone told you this at a store.

It isn't really anti-consumer, Valve just didn't tell the truth of the real reason. Every time there is a Steam sale there are a ton of new cheaters and smurfers who buy the game with their real account (that has money in the Steam wallet or valid credit cards) and then they just gift the game to various fake Steam accounts set up with throw away email addresses.
 
I really song feel like going to a store tonight for credits, and I'm not putting my card info on the client. Is there a reputable place to buy digital codes online? I'm not finding much.

Should I get Arkham City and Asylum or there is any chance that remaster will come on PC too?

I don't know if you've been keeping up on the 'remaster' news, but I wouldn't wait on that. You'll get the best version of these games now.

edit: read this thread, no need to get the remaster
 
Thanks, I'll check it out :).



Ah, I should've said that I've played all of the newer TR games (and I don't like them and don't think they're very comparable to the old ones at all). But I definitely appreciate the suggestion :).

Well that's some bullshit if you don't think TR Anniversary is comparable to the older games.
 
bought

Dead Rising 3
Ass Creed Rogue
Max Payne 3
Grow Home
Company of Heroes Franchise collection
Tales From the Borderlands

Plenty more on Wishlist but happy with these!
 
I just bought seventeen games for only a hundred dollars. The complaints in here about pricing are kinda bizarre, but maybe it's just because I live in Canada.

No, it's not just you. The complaining always bothers me for some reason.

As though if Valve isn't just giving away their entire store for 80% or 90% off, people act like they're being being cheated somehow.

It's kind of sad.

Like I get being upset when a game you really wanted isn't discounted enough. That's fine. (I was bummed about Factorio.)

But the incredulous tone some take over it is quite irksome. Just reads so, ungrateful, bratty & entitled.
 
It seems like with every sale the prices trend upwards. This is definitely one of the worst sales so far in terms of discounts. Very disappointed. Might pick up DOOM and leave it at that.
