Gotta get up to get down.

IT'S UP AGAIN!

Never forget.

[TheChits]

All I wanted to do was play L4D steam. Is that so much to ask for?

 

[KingKong]

Steam is going to be in Korean when it goes back up

 

[~Kinggi~]

Im gonna spend big this sale, BIG i tells ya!

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

IT'S HAPPENING.

 

[neoism]

Four drops.



New language packs.

meh mine was stuck at 11% for 2 hours then it went back to 1% and nothing was downloading just uninstalled it. :/

I have to stop myself from buying Dragon Keep now that the rest of my Gabens have hit.

 

[Joe Molotov]

Steam is going to be wholly owned by EA when it goes back up

fixed

Anyone tried Ride to Hell yet? It's definitely candidate for worst game of the year. And possibly most hilarious game of the year. And least amount of video options of the year.

Didn't really look like $30 material.

Four drops.

And only when the community shows the heart to work together to make the badge, they announce HL3.

28th is when my milk passes its used by date. Coincidence? I think not.

 

[bronson]

A couple games come out on the 28th. Why would anyone release anything on Steam Sale Day?

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

I finally got my first booster pack!

But I don't know if I should try selling it, or opening it hoping for a Foil card.

 

[Nabs]

I regret opening my booster pack.

must be waiting for some cards to drop.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

I regret opening my booster pack.

I just went ahead and put my Super Meat Boy booster pack on the Market. If I get anyone to buy it, I'm gonna get Retro City Rampage.

All according to that k word.

 

[LQX]

Sold all my cards and made $6. Will buy them back when the market crashes.

To any of you who ever praised Alpha Protocol and said it was underrated - you're god damn right. I played through a few missions yesterday, totally feeling like James Bond. I love the conversations and how doing sub objectives gives additional dialogue and adds to your mission report.

 

[bigace33]

I spent like $160 last steam sale. I'm hoping to spend a lot less this sale. Right now the only thing on my radar is Max Payne 2. 8^\

 

[sibarraz]

Hope to see alpha protocol at a low price

 

[Madrugador]

Did someone else see PC Gamer's teaser for August? It's about Valve.

Look for Wario64 on Twitter if you haven't.

Edit: Just saw the thread, sorry :lol

One of Wario64's CDNs must be undergoing maintenance and slowing down its ability to post to Gaf.

 

[Stallion Free]

New Visions is pretty awesome. Although I haven't played much with it, yet. Detroit looks amazing.

That's NYC lol.

I wouldn't be surprised if New Visions changed it.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

I'm hoping to spend a lot less this sale.

Me too. Not many games on my radar. Backlog is too much!

 

[Jørdan]

Well there goes the sale.

 

[Grief.exe]

The Bioshock 2 and Arkham City updates are, seemingly, being done by the same company.

I bought alpha protocol for like 3 dollars from steam back in the day.

Not worth it.

 

[Kaidfather]

My favorite thing about the Steam summer sale(and winter sale too) are people complaining about the Steam summer sale(and winter sale too).

look no further than this post for an example of objective bad taste

This post is fucking disgusting.

the neogaf consensus of this game being an underrated diamond in the rough is something that I fell for and in actuality turned out to be a myth.

I genuinely tried to play the game and it failed me in terms of what it offered as a 1) rpg 2) stealth action and 3) functioning game in general. It didn't help that it's story was equivalent to James Bond fan fiction.

I'm still waiting for someone to legitimately justify that games existence.

I'm also waiting for someone to make a spy rpg worth a damn.

 

[wilflare]

the cards... are worth almost next to nothing now.. :O (i looked at the price... and just price a few cents lower for my cards.. so most are like 30-50cents) is this the right way to go about it?
I should have sold them off earlier..
but it's quite exciting to get the email buzz that something was sold

There's no other game like it. Existence for better or worse has been justified.

1) It sounds like you didn't build out your character correctly.

2) The story is nothing like James Bond. It's bad Robert Ludlum fanfic if anything.

 

[ShaneB]

Speaking of bad taste, I'm not really digging Mark of the Ninja I guess stealth play just isn't for me.

I'm totally good with not being in the alpha protocol bandwagon.

Risen is the much better example of a b-tier rpg done right.

Yup. Alpha Protocol is great. I played through it thrice, back to back, just to see what could be done differently. First I played through without stealth, but that was terrible. Playing with Stealth and Pistols was definitely more fun.

 

[zkylon]

how cheap is AP? it shows 15$ on steam for me atm

I'm still waiting for someone to legitimately justify that games existence.

how does this even work?

see, you're doing this right, you accept that a game is beloved by many and word your post in a way that it clearly shows you don't like it and it's a matter of taste, which is perfectly fine

you don't grab the game and say it's not worth 3 bucks because reasons

 

[morningbus]

I think he's trying to find a way to answer it himself. I imagine it is a question he is personally asked constantly.

 

[Prelithe]

So bummed I missed that $2 sale eons ago. I almost had it but at the time I'd moved country and Steam locked my account. Hoping I can get it cheap this coming sale.

So yeah, what good is a rpg that forces you into one "correct" style of playing again?

I get that the dialogue system was pretty cool and the different story outcomes are intriguing on some level but telltale's walking dead had that. Or any number of games with multiple endings.

see, you're doing this right, you accept that a game is beloved by many and word your post in a way that it clearly shows you don't like it and it's a matter of taste, which is perfectly fine

were you not the one that said I had objective bad taste?

I mean, I thought it was common knowledge that we speak from our own perspective and so there will always be a degree of subjectivity involved.

So to be clear, Alpha Protocol for 3 dollars wasn't worth it to me.

Much like Soccer Manager or Crusader Kings has yet to be worth anything to me. My opinion may change one day though.
