Who still buys steam cards?

For anybody at all interested in cyberpunk bartending there's a demo with a shitload of possible choices and endings here: https://sukebangames.itch.io/valhalla-bar
This actually contains important story content for the game, so even if you already bought the game, play the demo first.
Sales were better 20 years ago. They now SUCK.
Its not a mess, its a gem.
That's what I wanted to hear. The Survivor mode sounds fun. I very rarely play FPS multiplayer games nowadays, so I guess the itch comes from that.
Or kicking a fool towards the spike traps.

Just bought VA-11 Hall-A. Probably the only thing I will get this sale, as I want to
Just saw this post, thanks for the heads up.
The original is pretty much a direct conversion of the board game which made people who don't like direct conversions of board games with their slow movement and dice based combat super salty. If you like the board game you'll like it. Ascension is basically a more video gamey version of Space Hulk. Still turn based, adds a leveling system, new weapons, prettier graphics. Was broken for a long time because the dev went bankrupt but seems like they released a beta version that fixed most of the bugs that could prevent you from being able to complete missions.
Any opinions on this first batch?
Meh. mostly junk. Should look into Wrestling games.

I was hoping Shadow Warrior 2 would be even cheaper come this sale. I played the first game earlier this year and had a fairly nice time with it. Far from great, but an alright game.
Oh well, I can wait. Plus, it just came out this year, which I forgot already.

It's great. The ability to skip the pre-battle flyover alone makes it a good deal better than the PS version.

Are there any popular/recommended mods one should be made aware of?

The Xbox 360 port is considered a mess and I already love it so much. The stages and events offer a great sense of adventure.

Subnauticaaaaaa!
Sale is good if you are new to steam. Though I am just saying this as my wishlist didn't get much of a discount. Some 20% here and there but nothing else.
If you are familiar with the 1993 game Syndicate, it's similar to that. A spiritual successor, with even some of the original staff on board. So not like Xcom.
Shit, you're right. Better?
Now thats great savings for great entertainment. 10/10 purchases.
For real though, if i could id be putting each os those 1st 4 in my cart as well.
We got the same tastes.

What a deal!
It's excellent! I highly recommend you getting it. Graphics have been cleaned up to look more HD.
Were you able to sign in with an NA square account or did you have to make a EU account? I want to know before making either lol.

And if you're a Mac user, tough luck. The devs don't seem to care about making a version of the demo for macOS. It's why I haven't bought the game on Steam yet.
I'll dig it up when I get home but if you check the OT in the Community section (of GAF), there are some recommended mods in there. Also, note that the PC version has the ability to speed up battle, 9999 damage, full meters, etc.

Check it out...explains the port as well
Nice, FFX is also cheaper in Square Enix Store at $13 instead of $18.
I got both on the SE EU Store and redeemed fine on US Steam. Yet another Steam sale where you are better off getting games elsewhere.

I'm going a little smaller with my purchases this year, my backlog is starting to spread across my other systems since I got a PS4 for the first time and a few 3DS games recently.
Ended up with:
Assassin's Creed Rouge and Unity
Ori and the Blind Forest
Dragon Age Inquisition GOTY (on Origin, I already owned the base game, I just needed the DLC which was cheaper as the pack instead of separately)
The sales Sony and Microsoft are putting out are pretty good this year too plus I got $10 on both PSN and Xbox (gift from Sony, and Bing Rewards for Microsoft), so I'll probably get at least two more games on those marketplaces.

How do I purchase it if I don't live in the EU?
Not sure what to buy. Think I'll hold off on Planet Coaster until there is a bigger discount, I have had enough of RPGs for a while so Xanadu can wait. Would be good to find a fun local multiplayer/co-op I can play with my sister, been looking for a while but haven't found anything.

Thanks! Much appreciated
. Also congrats on the promotion (belated as the message may be haha)
.Been wondering this for some time now as I'm in the same position as you with Dragon Age Inquisition - does it just upgrade your game and add the DLC to your account, or does it add a duplicate entry of the game to your account?
'Waifu bartending' is sort of the self-deprecating way the developers describe it, but it really couldn't be anything further from the truth. It's a straight up character study of a pretty diverse group of people, and waaaaay more than wooing people it's about shooting shit with regulars and just being an ear to people's daily issues in a hyper-corporate dystopia.
And also mixing drinks to really cool electronic beats.

Honest Questions: is it better to buy SFV Deluxe or just the game? Can I still buy all the characters with Fight Money? How does FM work?
