Support NeoGAF

[sapsari]

I have a feeling that none of the games I voted for made it in top ten.

 

[zkylon]

I feel kinda dumb for asking now but wth is APS

 

[NaM]

SteamGAF you better don't disappoint me...

 

[Dusk Golem]

Sonic Racing Transformed deserved, fantastic arcade racer. Lot of fun.

 

[cicero]

Were the discounts and selection at the start of last year's sale this dire, too? (Honest question - I didn't buy anything through Amazon last year.) If last year's promo started out like this and improved later, I'd say you're right to tell people to be patient. But if not, I can understand them being disappointed right now - in general, these prices are a big step down from the Amazon sale we just came off of.

These prices are exactly the same kind of thing we saw last year. The key wasn't that they were crazy high compared to the Holiday sale, but that they were listed at all. I think everything listed last year went on a big price reduction of some kind. So the high prices now aren't indicative of what they will be over the entire sale. Unless they have changed things up or aren't getting the deals they want with the publishers, this should play out as it did before.

This isn't a frantic Steam sale, this is a slow month long Amazon promotion where Tony periodically adds on new games, or reduces prices for first come first serve type sales. I fully expect to see that Enslaved/Pac-Man bundle for something like $5 at some point.

Among some of the things I used my 12 credits on last year.
Darksider Franchise Pack - $8
Microsoft 5-Game Arcade Pack (Deadlight, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, Iron Brigade, Mark of the Ninja, Toy Soldiers) (I bought 4 of these, fantastic deal) - $5
Age of Empires III Complete - $5
Microsoft Fable Bundle - $5
Paradox 2012 Ultimate Pack - $10
Paradox Seas Bundle - $5

[bigwinnerx]

Infinite was great. Loved it. If it's 2 or 1, well deserved.

 

[Vecks]

I think I forgot to vote for spelunky. Good thing nobody else forgot.

 

[DukeBobby]

SteamGAF's number 3 was my number 3.

Nice.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

TLoU is going to be number 1 I can feel it.

 

[Smash88]

Rogue Legacy or Kerbal Space Program hitting #1 - I'll be happy with.

 

[Wok]

Spelunky? So this is it, there is no second and first.

 

[toddhunter]

Still a chance for Rogue Legacy...that would be about it.

 

[Tesseract]

volgarr #2
rogue legacy #1

 

[denx]

edit: wait I found a better image

Not bad. Spelunky was #2 on my list.

 

[Gamerloid]

Well done. The fact that it's number 3 give me hope for the next 2.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

oh god bio infinite is taking number one isn't it

 

[Dimitri2401]

Not bad, but I was expecting it to be at least 2nd.

 

[KenOD]

No surprise with Spelunky. For those that can get into such games, there simply isn't a better game of platforming with sense of reward for improvement in skill and skill only due to the randomisation.

 

[MRORANGE]

I feel kinda dumb for asking now but wth is APS

score/votes = average point score

 

[Wok]

2. Antichamber
1. Rayman® Legends

Still possible.

 

[morningbus]

Spelunky is caving to the pressure of our #3 spot.

Fuck you this one is good.

 

[Nabs]

The Swapper. Right? RIGHT?

Volgarr?

 

[Smash88]

I'm fine with Spelunky being #2 or #3. Thank you Steam GAF for voting appropriately.

 

[toddhunter]

volgarr #2
rogue legacy #1

I'm with you...but I sense the urge to kill rising.

I have two gifs ready....

 

[Tesseract]

oh god bio infinite is taking number one isn't it

please no, we're better than this.

 

[Grief.exe]

oh god bio infinite is taking number one isn't it

Dark day for Steam GAF

 

[Nzyme32]

MRORANGE, you are a god among men. Thanks for all the work you've put into this and the steam threads. This is too dramatic for me haha

 

[NaM]

2. Antichamber
1. The Swapper

Still possible.

You are goddamn right.

 

[Dr Dogg]

Rut rho. With Spelunky at 3 I've got a bad feeling about 1 and 2. I've pretty much quadruple dipped on Spelunky now.

 

[kutthoat5150]

For the love of god not infinite, save us oh shadow warrior

 

[Gamerloid]

Good thing I decided to see what's going on here before playing A Link Between Worlds. Would've missed this,

oh god bio infinite is taking number one isn't it

Or maybe Bioshock was #11!

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Wow, awesome! Way to go Spelunky!

 

[Zeliard]

The Swapper. Right? RIGHT?

That's my GOTY

 

[corrosivefrost]

Fucking letdown. I wanted to see Smash88's head explode.

 

[MRORANGE]

The next bombshell in 5 minutes time, 1 and 2 will be revealed.

 

[legacyzero]

Dammit... BS:I is getting it, isn't it

 

[Fox318]

Everyone voted for X-Blades right?

 

[Tesseract]

The next bombshell in 5 minutes time, 1 and 2 will be revealed.

it's teleglitch isn't it, you magnificent bastard.

 

[Widdly Scuds]

Obviously KOFXIII will be #1.

 

[Nzyme32]

The next bombshell in 5 minutes time, 1 and 2 will be revealed.

You tease you

 

[Vecks]

The next bombshell in 5 minutes time, 1 and 2 will be revealed.

Time to catch our breath.

 

[Rand6]

Guacamelee will be first!

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

Does anyone know when Valve updated the Steam installer and started disabling auto-start with Windows after first install? I have installed Steam and Windows like 2-3 times this last two months and each time, I have to enable it to start when the PC is turned on.

 

[Turfster]

Everyone voted for X-Blades right?

I just loaded that up again for the first time in... years.
No, I don't know why either.

Sigh. Are the servers being DDoSed again?
Can't get to my friends activity list.

 

[The_Monk]

Time for commercials.

 

[Wok]

It seems many people have put The Swapper as their #1.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Starbound, bound to star at #10
Gone Home is at home at #9

Saints Row IV comes marching in at #8.
FEZ turns everyone on their side at #7.
Dota 2 defends its #6 place.
Papers, Please is admitted into #5.
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed barely misses the bronze and takes #4.
Spelunky explores the uncharted territory of #3.

 

[NaM]

The next bombshell in 5 minutes time, 1 and 2 will be revealed.

You are such a tease

Spoiler

BITCH!

 

[Jørdan]

Sooo, anyone else vote Final Fantasy?

 

[rtcn63]

Is an arguably mediocre FPS that much worse than some arguably mediocre indie title? I'm not very fond of this whole "it's indie and thus better" any more than "it's AAA and thus better". I've had fun with both this year, as well as having been greatly disappointed by both.
