Support NeoGAF

[Toma]

The LA Noire sale ends in 5 hours and 30 minutes.

There could still be a Summer Sale. ITS THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!!

Trying too hard.

No? It's my first summer sale.

Dont believe him.

 

[nyong]

Except it's a sale that has only existed for two years. People are extrapolating supposed start times of said sale using two data points, and then get disappointed when their prediction is wrong.

Two years in a row in sales is establishing a pattern...or setting consumer expectations. Call it what you like. We aren't talking global warming here.

If they intend to switch things up significantly, some communication would be nice. They read the boards...they know we're expecting it (it's going to happen).

Summer sales are never as good as winter sales, calm down guys.

It's better because all the games that came out last winter will be half-price or lower now.

 

[toastyToast]

Well, I got a Dota 2 invite a couple days ago.

Gabe-sama can only be so generous

 

[Koroviev]

No? It's my first summer sale.

Don't listen to the non-believer! Shun him!

 

[Wok]

The fact that a game called Analogue: A Hate Story is the Steam daily deal convinces me someone at Valve reads NeoGAF....

I'm glad I downloaded the demo. $6 saved.

We are guinea pigs in a cage under the scrutiny of Gabe. This is not a game, Valve, this is not Bad Rats, this is life.

 

[Terbinator]

I feel worse than i did after this year's E3.

 

[dosh]

No? It's my first summer sale.

And it'll be glorious. Believe.

 

[iSurvivedTheOutage]

fuck...MY LIFEEEEEEEEE

Spoiler

j/k glad it isnt today

 

[Syril]

How long is Analogue? And by extension, how long is it's predecessor Digital: A Love Story?

 

[Fixed1979]

There's still going to be a sale this summer though right?

Valve has cancelled summer.

 

[xenoflux2113]

I'm still sticking with my prediction of next Thursday. Right after the 4th of July. It'll happen...

 

[Binabik15]

Guys, seeing Dawn of War 2 made me remember to install my new copy (gave the old one to my brother), but activating the cd key with Steam didn't work, went to the installation mu on the disk, it went through until a Steam window for the key pops up, but it still says invalid key. Now it's also a GFWL title, but the installation manager surely would bring up the GFWL window for me to put the key in, not Steam if it has to go there, right?

If not, I open up GFWL myself, put in the code and Steam gets the info, or what? Never had a dual game before.

It's a UK retail copy and German Steam, though, will this make it not work, or what? Never had troubles before, except for SR3, which has a special retard cut for Germany, but that worked with a little tunneling magic. Germany doesn't have a special DoW2 version.

 

[Glass Rebel]

The Retribution DLC seems to be mostly useless. How is the Tau Commander for Last Stand?

 

[Omikaru]

How long is Analogue? And by extension, how long is it's predecessor Digital: A Love Story?

No idea how long Analogue is, but I finished Digital in a couple of hours, I think. Very short, but also free.

Serious Sam 75% off steam coupon code reward on raptr is live. It puts the coupon in your inventory and is tradable.

http://raptr.com/rewards/75-percent-off-serious-sam-3-bfe

Expires August 1. I assume it will stack with the summer sale price... if it ever happens.

Thanks, got one. Hopefully it stacks with the summer sale price.

 

[la_briola]

Requirements:


Earning the coupon funner than playing the reward confirmed.

Claimed. Thanks.

 

[Kelegacy]

WTF is DoW 2 really GFWL or is it just for the multilayer? I don't want DRM on my DRM, but I will only be playing singleplayer.

 

[Kandrick]

Retribution is not, but the original DoW2 + chaos rising are GFWL i think.

 

[Geoff9920]

WTF is DoW 2 really GFWL or is it just for the multilayer? I don't want DRM on my DRM, but I will only be playing singleplayer.

DOW2: Retribution is the only Steamworks DOW2 game. The rest are GFWL... but they work pretty well for GFWL games.

 

[xenoflux2113]

So is the Space Marine DLC just for multiplayer or is it available in singleplayer?

 

[louiedog]

Requirements:

Well, the reward is the coupon, not the game. I don't think it's designed to be fun. Now, Coupon: The Movie: The Ride is designed to be fun and totally nails it.

I haven't played the game, but if it the game is 75% off in the next month (please come soon, Steam Sale) and the coupon stacks that'd bring it down to $2.50. Not too shabby, even if it isn't amazing.

 

[Derrick01]

There's still going to be a sale this summer though right?

Summer sale starts when Sony says it does.

 

[Semblance]

How long is Analogue? And by extension, how long is it's predecessor Digital: A Love Story?

Analogue is a bit longer than Digital, but still pretty short. About four-ish hours, I think? There are two very different story routes though, so it can be replayed for more.

Thanks! Just grabbed this so I'll be ready when it eventually goes on sale!

 

[Toma]

Sony?

 

[moojito]

Bleh. Steam sale preorder cancelled!

 

[Nabs]

Does the coupon expire?

 

[DyslexicAlucard]

Sadly yes, I'd pay a lot of money for a single player Space Wolf skin...

Is it the same with the DoWII: R DLC?

 

[Volcynika]

Does the coupon expire?

He said it expires August 1st.

 

[xelios]

[ShaneB]

Well now I'm just bummed out, and ready to spend 40 dollars on a game I'd actually play I'm not sure if I should feel bad, or good that I'd actually play something.

 

[xenoflux2113]

MP

Bah I won't worry about it then.

 

[Derrick01]

Sony?

I thought the joke would be more obvious

 

[Rufus]

Guess we gotta play games instead, huh?

 

[Toma]

I thought the joke would be more obvious

Sorry

 

[echoshifting]

Our backlogs are just another persons wishlist.

Damn, man. Damn.

Time for my Valve-is-dead-to-me 11 am drinking binge

 

[Delusibeta]

Well, the SS3 coupon is only valid between June 19th and August 1st. I think we've got a possible end date for the Summer Sale, folks.

 

[louiedog]

For anyone curious, everything you always wanted to know about the coupon, but were afraid to ask:

 

[Petrie]

So now I want to buy something. How is the new Penny Arcade game if you aren't a huge reader of the comic, but occasionally dabble?

 

[Glass Rebel]

motherfuck mid-July confirmed then WHY

 

[Deleted member 20415]

Steam clan... Dawn of War II... will playing Dawn of War I first benefit my DoW II play through?

I'm trying to decide if I should pull the trigger on the lot of it.

Thanks!

 

[TheNamelessOne]

Damn you Gabe stop toying with my emotions!

 

[Prezhulio]

For anyone curious, everything you always wanted to know about the coupon, but were afraid to ask:

wow, assuming it's valid during the summer sale deal, that'll make the price point for ss3 unavoidable.

 

[Thrakier]

The lack of communications is a bit weird, I don't know. It's kinda arrogant. That's how feel about the steam service as wel.

 

[volturnus]

But they don't activate on Steam...so I can't buy the DA games! I pass on a lot of sales if there is no Steam Key. I am so weak.

I understand when it's some kind of garage store and you don't know how long will you be able to download it again, e.g. people that don't buy non-steam games on GMG, but Amazon isn't going anywhere anytime soon, and their customer service is fucking miles ahead of steam.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

The wizard Nigiro has spirited away all the games from the Steam Kingdom in a misguided effort to protect their IPs—but now, hidden away from everyone, they've begun to fade into obscurity and will eventually disappear. Beseeched by King Gaben, you are tasked to find and return them so the Sacred Summer Sale can commence. Join forces with the ogre Gog, the priestess Desura and G.G. the rog—

There we go, honorless has fleshed out a deep and rich story already.

 

[Petrie]

Looking through my Steam, I apparently still have a bunch of giftable copies of games I bought too many of during the last sale. Anyone have anything they're looking to swap? Have a bunch of copies of Sequence, Worms, Napoleon Total War, Empire Total War, Dungeon Defenders, Saints Row 2, Strong Bad Season 1, and Alien Breed 2. Shoot me a PM or something.

Don't want to have a bunch of different stuff from different stores. Blizzard is the only exception.

 

[FelixOrion]

Oh, this will be fun.

 

[Delusibeta]

wow, assuming it's valid during the summer sale deal, that'll make the price point for ss3 unavoidable.

My working assumption is that it won't, judging by the dates the coupon is valid in.
