Guys, I need a game like Dear Esther or Protheus, where you don't do anything.
Any game apart from these 2?

Trauma - http://store.steampowered.com/app/98100/
My recommendation from Steam: "It's more of an experience, than a game, but it's great... I loved it!"

EDIT: You can even try it out online: http://www.traumagame.com/

As I recommended earlier today, The Stanley Parable (the hl2 mod) for an example on how to do narrative based gameplay similar to (better than) Dear Esther.

I played it with K/M and it worked perfectly.

Of course, you can always use a 3rd party program to get controller up and running.

Dragging the cursor around the UI is atrocious with a thumbstick. It's just not worth setting up a pad for.

I'll buy it if there's a way to have a freecam without the HUD for screenshots.

You don't do much in DLC Quest. Fun, cheap and short.

Played both. I hope the hd version comes soon, I loved the first version!

I will look into it.

Hmm... does the lack of weekly deals signify the imminence of a certain yearly sale that will not be spoken of?

Spoiler

Probably not.

 

[Vecks]

X3 series seems to be another week long deal.

It's odd that so far there's only two deals, but they both end July 8th whereas if there was a sale I'd think it would end on thusday or friday.

Would be a bit of a misnomer to call it a week long sale if it didn't last 7 days.

So is Fable TLC like a special edition of Fable 1? Always been interested in the Fable series but never tried it.

Aye but I mean, typically when there is a sale incoming all normal sales end prematurely to accommodate. The fact that they're being called week-long deals and actually last as long says to me maybe they're just late in putting the rest up instead of it being evidence of a sale.

The original Fable had its ending changed because of time restraints. TLC is essentially the same game, but with an extended ending plus some extra items.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Where is seal?

 

[Megasoum]

So I guess I was wrong and the pc port is actually good for Fable...where did I read otherwise? hmmm...

Anyway, so basically the only con is the lact of controller support?

 

[Divius]

Amnesia

Haha. Just roam around this gorgeous mansion/castle and explore the wonders of its history

The port for three is bad, i'm guessing you heard that.

 

[Eternia]

Fable? The first Fable?!!!



GABEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you're really desperate and can't wait that much longer, here's an option. Go to tf2outpost.com, search for Fable III. Look for prices in TF2 keys and also check to see if they still have it in their inventory in case they've already sold it. Now you can either buy said keys on the Steam Market, then post (you'll need to login) asking for a trade or ask if they can hold it for that price if you don't feel like investing money into keys before a deal is in place.

I don't believe Fable III has any region issues outside whatever GFWL does so that's one less thing to worry about. At the time of this post, I saw a few listings with prices ranging from 4-6 keys and they cost about $2.20 USD per key right now.

Ah very possible... Anyway, bought and downloading.

The current deal for Rise of the Triad on GMG is pretty damn good compared to steam. Preorder bonus is the same, you get the Apogee Throwback Pack, both redeem on steam. It's £9.99 + the 25% off coupon apparently works with it (GMG25-BAWQB-8UQWG). Compared to steams preorder price of £11.99.

Overall that means its £7.49 on gmg vs £11.99 on steam for the same thing.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Does anybody know what time deals change on GMG in PST? It says 10pm UTC on the site.

Is it against the rules to offer your referral link here? I wouldn't mind helping out GAF members and myself get $2.

Spoiler

If it isn't against the rules, PM me. I don't want to spam the thread with my code

 

[Sblargh]

I approve GMG's hell themed sale. More sales should have themes outside of seasons.

Kentucky Route Zero
The Path
Bientôt l'été
Dinner Date
The Cat and the Coup
Thirty Flights of Loving

These are all Steam games and they lack conventional game elements, so they might be exactly what you're looking for.

As for non Steam try:
Blues for Mittavinda
Césure
Icefishing V
Remembering
Slave Of God
Souvenir
Katabasis

and you can find tons of others in Indie thread.

Yeah, do not post referral links. Even openly doing it via PM is probably not kosher.

It's a hell theme because of the eternal torment. Nice tasty discounts...what's that? you can't complete the purchase before the time runs out? nooooooooooo

It's a small but powerful glimpse of hell itself.

 

[justjim89]

Shit, the BL2 deal on GMG is tempting as hell. How does GMG work? Do I still get a Steam key?

It's £7.50 on Steam if you can find three other like-minded individuals.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Just to make sure, you can't redem codes in the Steam website, right? Only through the client?

 

[rookiejet]

I just found out I have metatarsalgia, and still no steam sale. This day's the worst! Uuuuuhhhhh.

You're given a key to redeem on Steam, yes. Remember to use the code GMG10-U49LX-GAE17 during checkout to save a further 10%.

yep, you get a Steam key for most (if not all) of their DD deals

by the way, for those who don't know GMG, it's one of the most reliables online stores out there

Bought the sweet BL2 deal on GMG.

I've already got the base game so I will be giving away Borderlands 2 in this thread. Stay tuned

I was actually considering a "guess my favourite dog race" contest

 

[Chronoja]

Stress must be easing up on GMG, finally able to buy stuff.

 

[Wok]

I think Two Tribes delayed the game to release at the beginning of the sale simply so people won't expect it to be discounted. FrozenByte was inundated with the question of "Will it be discounted during the Winter Sale?" when it released Trine 2 a few weeks before the 2011 Winter Sale.

Toki Tori 2 will be discounted (10%), but only for beta-testers.

I'd say 4 July. It's Thursday and all coupons are valid until that day.
