It is still the most expensive emoticon. Doesn't mean anyone have to pay for it

I'm pretty sure every item on market has some unrealistic priced items. You just have to look to see.

There is one wskull: in the market that is for sale and it's priced insanely. Plus the image you have there is showing cards, which also are insanely priced.

Most expensive emoticon ever?

10 year anniversary sale.

10 year anniversary sale.

When is the anniversary?

I poked through the specials list and didn't come across a Daily. Also, uh, there are no Prima/Brady guides on Steam at all any more.

When is the anniversary?

September 12th.

 

[JordanKZ]

Half-Life 3 announcement is September 12th then?

I don't think you're quite getting it.

 

[Echoplx]

What happened?

Probably not happy with the community guides addition.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Nice, thanks Badger. *wishlisted*

The timing ties in nicely with the X weekly sale on Humble later this week... (right?)

Believe

Probably next given the bundles already on.

Rebirth is a little too pricey given the chances of me playing it are around 0. The new features towards accessibility look good... But I suspect they'll be the types of things you do once and never do again. For example walking around a station that is empty before getting back to the spreadsheets.

But I really hope for the best. I want to love a X game.

I'm hoping it'll be a little more fleshed out, with actual reasons to visit said stations (stores, missions, etc.). I love the direction they went, it's been too long since I've played an X game.

 

[JaseC]

What happened?

No idea. It's particularly strange because the Brady guides were published through the publisher of the game itself while the Prima guides were self-published.

 

[FloatOn]

X: Rebirth is way to pricey for me.

It looks to have an insane amount of content. I would say the price is fair.

If you are not into this type of game you might want to save yourself any price and not purchase it at all.

But...there are already shoes in TF2. Especially for Scout, it would seem.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Went to go sign up for classes, realized there was a math credit I misread as being optional last semester and and subsequently can't register for the medical class I was going to take. This could delay my degree by an entire semester or more.

Not even the two games coming out tonight will drown my sorrows ;-;

My cousin gave me the best advice when I was in school : don't ever leave. He was right.

But seriously, that blows....hope it works out. Enjoy it while you can!

 

[Overdoziz]

Anniversary, Legend, and Underworld were all excellent. I have no idea why people thought there was some issue with their format.

Legend was so hilariously bad you'd think it was parody.

Sadly, this could never happen to me. I play the odds. I never gamble. Sell those boosters, that's my melody.

 

[Cheddahz]

pfft, you didn't get all the collectables? you don't have the right to shit on the game

I bailed out when I realized that the tombs weren't fun

 

[fantomena]

Can't wait for the winter sale. Gonna be nuts. Will be getting at least AC IV and Blacklist.

 

[Kipp]

Unless you're planning to use Steam Wallet funds, buying Blacklist on the B/S/T thread from people who got it with their graphics card would probably be just as cheap, if not cheaper, than it will be during the winter sale.

Sometimes it's worth checking. If a booster is going for about the same price as 3 average cards....You can easily justify opening it. Worst case if you lost .05 or so

I don't want to download it through UPlay.

X Rebirth up for Prepurchase http://store.steampowered.com/app/2870/

Nice, that is right on the line of prepurchase territory for me, but given the amount of content I will be getting, I am going to go ahead and pull the trigger tonight. I put 100 hours into X3, and I only really stopped playing that because I heard that this game was coming out this year.

It looks to have an insane amount of content. I would say the price is fair.

If you are not into this type of game you might want to save yourself any price and not purchase it at all.

I think the humble bundle is perfect for this type of game. It's a little too niche to make huge day one sales, but if ~$5 gets you the whole series, lots of people will see the value in that, and quite a few will likely try it out, and some of those people will really like it. That was me 6 months ago actually.

 

[Kifimbo]

Hammerwatch is the definition of average. Playing with the ranger and I feel I've been doing the same thing for three hours: click on a A button to launch arrows. There is just no depth. Oh, I guess I've been using bombs here and there.

 

[Blue Ninja]

I've only gotten one, and it was worthless.

 

[FloatOn]

I went ahead and bought The Bureau an hour or so ago.

I really need to finish off Ys 2 before I dive into it because I doubt I'll ever come back to it if I don't.

I thought I had until Thursday...

 

[Dolor]

I did this with an earlier graphics card deal (Never Settle Reloaded), and I ended up being able to sell my Steam codes for a decent resale price, but I basically had to include for free the one UPlay game (Blood Dragon) because no one wanted it there. The irony was that at the time, Blood Dragon was the newest game.

Point is that if you are willing to take it on UPlay, you can probably get it for quite cheap.

 

[ThePeoplesBureau]

Still no price on Hate Plus, and it unlocks at a rather odd time ('This game will unlock in approximately 7 hours'). Hope it actually gets released today.

That's exactly what I got out of the beta and which prompted me to delete it from my wishlist. It looks nice but the gameplay is very mundane.

 

[Leon Belmont]

A compelling argument can be made that LoS is objectively better than GoW as it runs in native HD resolutions and at 60 fps.

Well you're right but I would call it an "improvement" instead "better than"... now if you compare LoS for PS3/360 and PC, you can say that the PC version is better than the PS3/360 version because it runs in native HD resolutions and at 60 fps. IMHO

 

[SpongeBob NoPants]

X: Rebirth is way to pricey for me.

In absolute terms I can see where you're coming from, but if you think of it in terms of money spent divided by hours played, it could end up being a real bargain.

 

[Addnan]

£39.99 base price in the UK. wtf. Yeah, I'll get it from a different region once I have some money.

 

[hlhbk]

How is Guardians of Middle-earth? Worth it to buy the complete edition for single player only?

 

[fantomena]

Yeha, I know, I may buy it closer to release.

 

[HoosTrax]

How is Guardians of Middle-earth? Worth it to buy the complete edition for single player only?

$72 for a singleplayer MOBA? I'm going to have to say no, based on the premise alone, unless you really love LOTR or there's a chance you might try it online.

 

[Hofmann]

I don't get the market sometimes. I sold an item, even though there were others cheaper than mine by a margin of $0.15, and I haven't noticed any form of speculation. Weird.

 

[Derrick01]

uc 3 is not that bad people. also gow> los.

Depends what game you're talking about. 1, 2 and 3 is better but LoS is way better than Ascension and the PSP games. LoS doesn't really try to do the big epic events like GoW does.

With the randomly shit performance in mind, I reflected upon my experience in Tomb Raider thus far.

1) Watch shitty story with annoying shaky cam
2) Run down guided path
3) Pick up things on the guided path
4) Climb the only thing you can climb on the guided path
5) Shooting gallery fight
6) More crappy story or QTE
7) Repeat

At first I thought it was just the intro to the game, but it happened a few times, so it is probably how they designed the game. After I solved one ridiculously easy puzzle in what was literally one small room in a cave and it said "Tomb Raided!" it all became clear to me. Salsa is right. So I deleted the game, and now I guess I don't know what to play instead, so I will be disappointed for a bit. Maybe more RE6 until The Bureau comes out would be best.

No that's pretty much the entire game. There are 2-3 big hub-like areas but all they're good for is hiding a bunch of useless collectibles. You get so much damn XP in the game for doing almost nothing (I seriously lost track of all the times I got anywhere from 100-500xp just for watching a cutscene) that going out of your way to collectible hunt is pointless.

Then you realized the foil only sells for 40 cents!
