NO!

Not buying another Double Fine game until Iron Brigade gets a daily/flash deal, piss off Psychonauts, you've been on sale like 50 times already.

wtf dude you don't mess with Psychonauts.

 

[Fou-Lu]

Okay, I'm gonna buy Oath in Felghana for $3.74 and if I like it, buy Origin in another sale. Is that a smart thing to do, or should I go for Origin only? I don't think I want to buy both.

You'll want both once you finish Oath. I haven't played Origins yet though, so I don't know if it's better than Oath.

 

[Naeblish]

Has anyone played Forge yet? It looks and sounds pretty cool!

Forge™ is an online, class based multiplayer shooter set in a distinct fantasy universe. Forge features only the best aspects of MMO and FPS class based combat to provide a multiplayer gameplay experience unlike anything you've played before. A malicious being named The Devourer has swallowed the great pantheon of gods.

 

[Snuggles]

How accessible is Garry's Mod? I love sandboxy stuff that I can just experiment and do dumb stuff with but if the tools have a steep learning curve it's probably not for me.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

ys oath in felghana is also 75% off. $3.74

I bought that Summer Sale Indie Bundle Day Five which included Ys Oath. A bunch of other games was included too.

 

[Torraz]

Very tempted by Ys Origin...

 

[Semblance]

I've had Oath in Felghana installed for months now and haven't even started it up once. I should probably do something about that.

Ys Origin was dope though. Tick up the difficulty and enjoy them bosses.

 

[Htown]

ooh, I am tempted by both Ys and Grimrock

but I only have 20 bucks to spend this whole sale

should I pull the trigger?

 

[Tomodachi]

Help me gaf, which ys should I play first if I never played any episode of the series?

 

[Pancakes]

You'll want both once you finish Oath. I haven't played Origins yet though, so I don't know if it's better than Oath.

They're both very good games however, Origin has multiple characters whereas Oath only has 1 so it's a shorter game.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

€15,73 spent so far.

 

[Typographenia]

hehe I already own it. ;P

I've got my eye on you...

Going off the sheer amount of content produced through G-Mod, I would have to assume it's very accessible.


Can anyone compare Y's to anything? I'm tempted to gift it to a friend, but I just want to know a little more before committing.

 

[Dingotech]

wtf dude you don't mess with Psychonauts.

Haha, I'm glad I got some attention from this!

Maybe Double Fine can take note and take some action!!!!

 

[HoosTrax]

I actually enjoyed Ys Origin more. Didn't really care for the overworld aspect of Felghana.

Can anyone compare Y's to anything? I'm tempted to gift it to a friend, but I just want to know a little more before committing.

It's an isometric 3D hack-and-slash JARPG with Metroidvania area progression (based on finding items that allow you to progress into previously inaccessible areas).

Sorted of like an isometric version of Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance.

 

[ameridion]

Is there a good racing game on sale? I want Driver San Francisco, Ridge Racer or any of the Dirt games, I'll settle with a good Indie driving game. Thanks

 

[Infinite Justice]

I see Valve is doing the same darksiders pack but for 13.59? LOL

40cents? really?

 

[legend166]

Okay about to buy my first things from the sale. Sim City 4 and Ys Origin.

Excellent.

 

[Sadist]

What is Ys exactly. See GAF folks hyping it up on twitter. More traditional JRPG or...?

 

[Pancakes]

ooh, I am tempted by both Ys and Grimrock

I haven't played Grimmrock so I can't comment on that but both Ys games are fantastic choices.

What is Ys exactly. See GAF folks hyping it up on twitter. More traditional JRPG or...?

Action rpg that's kinda hack and slashy with most of the emphasis on the big boss fights they have.

 

[KingKong]

Are Ys Origin and Oath basically the same things? Like if I play one, would I want to play the other too?

 

[Htown]

oh wait there's totally a demo for Ys Origin

downloading

 

[Shorty11857]

Is there anyway to change the default install directory on Steam? In Big Picture mode everything is installing to my SSD

 

[PaulLFC]

Bought Ys Origin, haven't even played the other Ys game yet. Steam...

A couple more Steam-activatable games on sale elsewhere:

Stealth Bastard Deluxe - £3.49 at GetGames (50% off)
Resident Evil 5 - £3.50 at GMG (use coupon GMG30-DPLIM-DN831)
Doom 3 BFG Edition - £7 at GMG (use coupon GMG30-DPLIM-DN831)


BTW, is the GMG coupon code above multiple use? Will pick up both DMC4 and RE5 if it is.

 

[Delusibeta]

What is Ys exactly. See GAF folks hyping it up on twitter. More traditional JRPG or...?

Less traditional JRPG. I'd be more inclined to compare it with Zelda games than yer Final Fantasies.

 

[HoosTrax]

Btw, the platforming aspects of Felghana are a lot more challenging than Origin. fwiw

 

[Shepard]

ooh, I am tempted by both Ys and Grimrock

Grimrock is an amazing game, if you like classic dungeon crawlers. Also, I'd recommend you to grab it from the Humble Bundle, beating the average will give you it (steamworks) and other nice games too.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

I've been slowly gathering 25 pieces of a map to find the location of this treasure:

I'll do whatever it takes to roll in this bitch.

PMing code to you now, enjoy!

 

[dragonlife]

Both Ys games are great. If you were to only get one, I'd say get Oath in Felghana first. You should get both if you can, though!

 

[Fou-Lu]

Ys Origins bought, as well as a Torchlight 2 4-pack for my roommate's birthday. I figured it would be silly to give him the game and keep him from playing with his friends!

 

[1-D_FTW]

If you have a wheel and like sims, GTR 2 is an awesome buy for 3.60. Install the Power and Glory 3.0 mod and it's 60s and 70s car porn. But it's a sim. And the graphics are dated. So you're buying it for best in class physics and dem amazing cars.

 

[Salsa]

Fantastic deal on Grimrock. Get it peeps.

 

[Isaccard]

Grabbed both Ys games.

burning through that student loan eh?

 

[KarmaCow]

Is there any word of the map maker for Grimrock? I loved the game, but I want more.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

WHat are the Ys games similar too?

 

[Fou-Lu]

Fantastic deal on Grimrock. Get it peeps.

Only if you don't have every other game in the current humble bundle I'd say.

 

[Tomodachi]

Oh what the hell, I'll get both Ys and think about which I'll play first later

Spoiler

(in at least 10 months from now)

.

Steam!

 

[Dingotech]

Fantastic deal on Grimrock. Get it peeps.

Probably better to buy the current Humble Bundle if you don't have the other games in that deal.

 

[Ra1den]

Are the PC versions the best versions of these two Y's games? Probably a stupid question but I want to make sure.

 

[Ifrit]

What is Ys exactly. See GAF folks hyping it up on twitter. More traditional JRPG or...?

Action RPG, kida like secret of mana but more fast paced, the series also have of the best videogame music ever made

 

[dragonlife]

Yes. And as far as I know, Origin is only on PC.

true dat, forgot

but yeah someone might not want/already has the other games

 

[Ra1den]

Yes.

Thanks, I'll grab em.

Steam!

Don't wait to play them, seriously, went from a series I'd never played to one of my favorites EVER in just playing Oath alone.

 

[dani_dc]

Oh nice, Ys Origin!

First buy of the sales!

 

[HoosTrax]

Ryu called. He would like his theme song back.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Alright, passing out for 6-12 hours. Laters Gaf.

 

[Eternia]

Both Ys' games were very enjoyable games. Not a lot of fast paced action rpgs out there so that sold me alone back during the summer sale. I do not regret it one bit!

As a newcomer to the series, the game really forces you to pay attention to patterns and enemy tendencies or else you will get wrecked fairly quickly. That and not charging into things recklessly.

 

[Yoshichan]

Alright, passing out for 6-12 hours. Laters Gaf.

Same.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Are Ys Origin and Oath basically the same things? Like if I play one, would I want to play the other too?

No they aren't.

 

[Htown]

I already have the other games in the bundle.

So, which is better, Origin or Oath? because I'm not getting more than one
