If you can only buy one, buy Oath, it is by far the best game.

I wouldn't say by far but it was the more enjoyable one compared to Origins (have not played I+II yet).

 

[JakeD]

Oh hush you two. You know what I meant. These are better sales than what we got for the Steam sale.

the Ys sale is a repeat from a flash deal in the summer sale, and the Trine franchise is often on sale for 80~%

 

[Cth]

I might buy Gun Monkeys just because of the dev's blogpost.

Edit: But that would mean I have to play the game, not just let it sit in my backlog.

I'm impressed, sounds like a great developer. A shame the community is crap from my limited exposure. I won a free copy, so I can't really complain, but I had nothing but people rage quit when I tried to play them. Maybe I'll give it another shot with the new people joining. It seems like it could be a fun game.

 

[Kifimbo]

:

Thanks xelios!

 

[Addnan]

Come on Steam, I need more cards. I have £1.90 in the wallet need to more than double that to get Ys I+II

 

[Stumpokapow]

Ahhh shit xelios, I just realized that the new ModBot speed improvements means that you'll probably get spammed with receipts. In the old system since receipts typically got delayed a few minutes, they'd combine no problem--but in the new system there's basically no delay so you're probably going to get 5-6 receipts. :/

I'll fix that over the coming day. Sorry.

Edit: Also, thanks for TR1. I have fond memories of renting it as hormonal adolescent. A replay should be interesting.

All the money Xseed's made on Steam with YS and they still won't port localize the Trails port.

It's like they want us to forget that ever existed.

 

[GazzaScotland]

KRZ is tempting. I was gutted when it lost the vote but in the post sale blues I'm not sure I want to spend anymore.

 

[jshackles]

I liked this part:

What’s more, everyone who has bought the game thus far has been gifted a free copy to send to a chum (or TWO free copies if you bought the double pack)

I paid full price, but I've yet to receive a gift copy.

 

[garath]

Origin or Felghana would be good. Origin has multiple characters with different attack styles at least, while Felghana is Adol only.

If you can only buy one, buy Oath, it is by far the best game.

I wouldn't say by far but it was the more enjoyable one compared to Origins (have not played I+II yet).

Hmm. Sounds like Oath is probably the way to go. Good posts. Appreciated.

 

[nexen]

Steam cards are selling.

Giana or Trine 2? I'm leaning towards Giana.

 

[mileS]

does the steam version of KR0 come with a soundtrack? I don't see it on the store page (might be blind)

 

[PixyJunket]

All the money Xseed's made on Steam with YS and they still won't port Trails.

What money?

 

[Ezra2680]

Don't think I can pull the trigger on KR0 at that price after just having bought 100 games. Think I'll just wait for it to be complete.

 

[Mugatu]

:

Thank you!

 

[X05]

Whoa, just saw the Defiance thing.

Super shitty move if it's not a mistake.

 

[Cth]

Damn... I waited that entire sale for KY0, now both that and Y's Chronicles are up. Sonofabitch

Woo hoo! Picked KR0 finally! I'm glad I waited!

 

[Tomodachi]

So guys, what's the latest word on idling multiple games at one for cards? Does it still work? Is it slower? I stopped doing it many weeks ago because I thought it stopped dropping card after the first one, is this confirmed or not? I have a lot of games from the new batch, multi-idling would be a godsend.

 

[Cth]

It's my lucky day.

Finally got a foil card from Bit Runner!

 

[Fuu]

Edit: Also, thanks for TR1. I have fond memories of renting it as hormonal adolescent. A replay should be interesting.

Haha, I sent him almost the exact same thing in a PM concerning Anniversary before you posted.

Thanks for the game, Xelios. I have many fond memories of the original and never had a chance to play the remake.

To me, it seems like it works for the first batch of cards, then it stops working altogether and I end up having to restarting with only one running.

 

[Whools]

So what's the definitive acronym for Kentucky Route Zero? KRZ, KR0? I saw some people saying KY0 which perplexed me.

OK guys, this is probably going to be my last giveaway for a while, at least until future bundles. I have gone way over my budget with the last sale.

Also whoever gets any of these 2 games please play them and not just idle for cards, They are both fantastic. Hope you enjoy them as I did.

I am giving away 2 Steam keys. To enter this giveaway, send a PM to ModBot with any subject line. In the body, copy and paste the line below that corresponds to the key you want (if you include more than one game, you will be blocked from entering).

Rules for this Giveaway:
- If you are a lurker--if you have both fewer than five posts in this Steam thread and fewer than five posts in the immediate previous Steam thread--you are not eligible for this giveaway.
- If you won a game from ModBot in the last day, you are not eligible for this giveaway.
- If the key is already taken you will not receive a reply. Replies may take a minute or two:

Blocks that matter -- MB-5ED04F490CB913B1 - Taken by JoseOle5990

Nice, summer sale cards are up to 20+ cents each and Summer Skyrim is 30 cents.

 

[The Super Bob]

Think I'll give Galactic Civilizations I a game since I got it for the error price. Does anyone have any tips before I start?

 

[iavi]

What money?

No specifics, but the Ys always top the charts on release, and top them again at every initial sale (excluding 1 & 2). It's me guessing that they've made quite a fair bit of coin.

I stopped doing it many weeks ago because I thought it stopped dropping card after the first one, is this confirmed or not? I have a lot of games from the new batch, multi-idling would be a godsend.

I tested it over two nights, it does seem a little slower or more spread out than doing it one at a time. I can give numbers but that is my general conclusion.

Also thanks for the explanation Stumpokapow that makes sense, that is probably why it's only happened once to me in 8 years on steam where I was annoyed.... and with all the other cases I kind of had an inside understanding of when to buy something and at what price.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Okay, updated. Users who run giveaways will get receipts no more often than every 5 minutes, and no faster than 5 minutes after the initial giveaway starts. It's not perfect but it'll prevent people who do big giveaways from getting like 5-8 receipts in a 5 minute period. Sorry again xel.

 

[KiDdYoNe]

Well i just had a little conversation with the guy undercutted me.

- why undercut the whole euro, cut a few cents if you want to sell it faster
- oh sorry... i can make them cheaper!

at the end he said:

I know.. Everytime new cards appear, you see prices like 4 euros for a rare emoticon what you can get for like 20 cents if you wait.

yeah, and the reason of those 20 cents instead of 4 euros are you fuckers -___-

 

[Lint21]

Killing Floor and Natural Selection II are both MP only aren't they? They seem to be doing okay at least.

Edit: Forgot Chivalry and I own it.

I am not sure, but Chivalry and Natural Selection 2 have managed to get regular players. And this is about it.

All Valve games do well with it.

Chivalry, NS2, etc.

Napoleonic Wars is mp only and it has a nice community.

So no Chivalry? DayZ? NSII? Tribes? Planetside 2?

You are missing out.

I guess those are the games I couldn't think of

I'm not dissing on MP-only games, they just aren't for me, and here's why. Despite having been an avid gamer for the past 25 years, I kind of suck at video games. I also don't have fun when I'm losing or just being shot over and over again. I don't have the kind of time that I did when I was good at Quake II CTF, UT2004, etc. The time aspect is also why I don't touch MMOs anymore.

So, it's either buy games that I likely won't enjoy, with an additional risk of the community drying up and the game becoming essentially unplayable, or focus on games with an enjoyable single-player experience.

Feel like an idiot for only now making that connection. I always thought that logo was because that's how this highway 0 in kentucky would be represented or something ( i'm not american, not sure how they do it there), where as the game would have a different abbreviation made from it's title

Perfect, thanks. The five minute waiting period should mean most of the keys have been taken and a full receipt/no more than two receipts in most cases, which is ideal.

Edit: Great job btw on all the new rules and restrictions since the last time I used ModBot, it really lets you customize your giveaway exactly how you want it.

 

[JoseOle5990]

Uh guys? Is ModBot freaking out, because Cth keeps winning Critter Crunch from bornlivedie's recent giveaway. :lol

Also good for Europeans who want to pay in dollars to get it even cheaper.

He's just drunk now, will become sober later.

Am I crazy for holding on to two full sets of cards to complete the "Steam Summer Getaway" badge? Figure if i hold them for a couple months & they're hard to find, I might make enough to buy a game.

 

[Addnan]

Is ModBot a little backed up? Trying to giveaway Introversion games I got with Prison Architect.

 

[wetflame]

Oh wow, I won the Bioshock Raffle! Thanks backdrifter! Awesome

 

[maty]

What the hell is going on with my giveaway? Because Cth keeps winning CC. xD

Did I make a mistake with the format of the PM?

To the the winners, if you aren't able to add the games just send me a Pm and I'll give them to you

 

[tjohn86]

There are like 40,000 of each on the market. You may be waiting longer than a few months.

 

[m.gorecki]

Possibly, but the market is getting pretty saturated right now. There are about 35K of each card for sale, and the first 1K is within a few cents of what the going price is.

 

[fantomena]

Buying Kentucky from Humble store. Cheaper and a Steam key.
