Okay, pulled the trigger on God Eater 2 for £16, and SanctuaryRPG for 55p. Think that'll be it for me unless something good comes up on Humble soon.

Stranger of Sword City

Nice!

Allright Steam Sale!!!

Struggling to find things to buy though. I need to stop buying things... I like the Steam Awards idea though, thats fun. I like being able to nominate the things I want as opposed to some list of preselected things

They have a good discount over at S-E's US store.

Not any more, turns out that was a pricing error. Now they are 30% off.

 

[Tizoc]

Is Stardew Valley the same as fantasy harvest moon on the DS?

its a better harvest moon

 

[Garmonbozia]

Trails in the Sky or Stardew Valley?

 

[Nzyme32]

TowerClimb is 40% off - absolutely worth jumping on - the game is awesome, with a ton of content - go buy!

Hello fellow NeoGAF member. You should spend an extra couple bucks at Humble Bundle and get it there along with a bunch of other really good games. You can use Steam support to return games bought through their store to return games.

You mean you can get Steam credit back for HMB games you don't want?

edit: I get it now.

 

[Adam M]

I'm new to this Steam paradise. Prices can go lower during this 1 week or why to wait till the end? On my wishlist there are games up to 80%, I don't think that this can go higher or just bundles can come up randomly?

 

[Rockin' Ranger]

Trails in the Sky or Stardew Valley?

I honestly can't say which I'd recommend, they're both amazing.

 

[hampig]

I thought Momodora RUTM was cool before it won an award.

This.

 

[Nabae]

Trails in the Sky or Stardew Valley?

Trails in the Sky.

 

[C4rter]

TransOcean 2 in the Bundle with the first one (and if you have the first one already) for 9,74€
That's the lowest yet I think.

He is saying return Dogma to Steam (as he just bought it appears) and buy the humble bundle. He will get Dogma today and 5 more games next week. Not return humble games on steam.

HAVE TO SELL STEAM CARDS BECAUSE WA TAXES MY ASS FOR CYBERGAMES.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Yay, Ace Rimmer title.

 

[rtcn63]

Is the single player portion good?

It's typical ubisoft fare. Not great or memorable or enjoyable at times. I stopped playing a few hours in. If you plan on doing it solo, I'd say pass.

Read the first bloody post mate~

[Crow Pudding]

Starbound 33%, so it was true...

Time to get it I suppose...

 

[freshVeggie]

How did the appid trick work again to make Steam think you're playing a game you don't have installed?

 

[Bronetta]

No hes saying to refund the game you bought through Steam.

 

[KainXVIII]

No Final Fantasy discounts? Shame! (and i don't want bother with S-E store)

 

[J_Viper]

I play Siege fairly often, there are some hardcore types out there, but they mostly stick to the non-casual matchmaking section. There have been times where I messed up and got an earful over my headphones. It's a great time outside of those super rare occurrences, I'd say communicating isn't required (some would say it is, though), I go in and just listen to teammates when things are about to go down.

Thanks, I'll check it out

Would it be eligible for a Steam Refund? I'm not sure how those work on Uplay games.

 

[rtcn63]

So would you say that someone with open world fatigue played the game they would get bored easy? It's the reason I have been avoiding Far Cry Primal, I am burned out on open world.

I gave up on Primal after a few hours too.

Mind you, I played Division at launch. People have said that the game has been improved with patches. I just didn't find the core gameplay, loot, or difficulty (normal is too easy to solo, hard is a fucking chore) to be at all compelling. It's a "play with your friends while throwing back tall boys" experience.

 

[TheMadMan007]

Trails in the Sky or Stardew Valley?

Stardew I found was much more fun, but dropped off about 12 hours in. Too many other games came out that I wanted to play, but it is really fun

 

[arts&crafts]

Is the single player portion good?

I bought full price at launch and played mainly single player and I enjoyed it and it was worth full price to me. Since then supposedly a lot has changed (for the better) and it is even better now. Watch some videos and see if its your cup of tea. It is essential a TPS Diablo 3, although loot is a worse. Gunplay feels nice though.

 

[RootCause]

Lol all the games on my wishlist have been heavily discounted. 😳

The Steam Controller is Growing Up

Grower not a shower.

 

[professor_t]

How good is the Grand Theft Auto V PC port? Will I be able to enjoy it in 1080p at max settings and 60 fps without weird issues (frame drops, stuttering), or is it a game like Dishonored 2 or Forza Horizon 3 that will not run optimally no matter what the circumstances.

I'll do some digging around the net, but thought I could get a quick - and current - perspective here.

It's excellent, provided you have the PC to run it.

It's great.

 

[Ophiuchus]

I think I will go with Dreamfall Chapters only.It is 9$ (70%) and I don't expect it to go any lower in christmas sale.

 

[Zapages]

I think this is the lowest GTA V has been on Steam? Correct?

What are the extra cards for though? Are they worth investing in?

 

[rtcn63]

Ahh I see, doesn't sound too bad, I kind of like the mmo feel of it but I am just completely burned out on open world side quest filler at this point.

It's pretty much all filler. The story is... there really isn't one. Do the same tasks over and over in hopes of getting experience and weapons that don't play any different than your current ones. But as I said, things may have changed now.

EDIT:

The loot experience is (was) nothing like Diablo 3. In a bad way.

 

[Caspel]

Will grandia be discounted on gog also?

Yeah!

 

[Ibuki]

Yes, and if you are referring to the Shark Cards, they are just GTA Online currency.

You can run it at 4K/60 on a 970

 

[White Wolf]

thinking of getting gta 5. I've been waiting until it reached 50% off. there's no way it'll hit lower this winter sale, might as well buy now right?

 

[theRizzle]

The "cards" are extra money for GTA Online. I wouldn't buy them at all personally, and would suggest you at least try the game and GTA Online before putting your money into microtransactions.

Trails in the Sky or Stardew Valley?

The answer is always Tits.

 

[Sun Bather]

A game that deserves more attention I think. Good price.

 

[Vic_Viper]

Any chance Planet Coaster will be on sale?

 

[serenewarfare]

Trails in the Sky or Stardew Valley?

Even in a crowded year, Stardew Valley is probably my GOTY. Can't speak to Trails though.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

How did the appid trick work again to make Steam think you're playing a game you don't have installed?

It's easy, just go to one of the games you've got installed and change the game's app id, it'll fail to launch but you'll idle the game. You could always use idle master, too, but you have to change it slightly for games that have already had their cards dropped.

For the first method navigate to your steam folder, then go to steam apps, then go to the "common" folder, choose a game you want to idle and grab its id, open your installed game's app id text document, paste the id of the game you want to idle in, and then run the game through the folder.

 

[J_Viper]

I wish I could just install the GTAV campaign without also having to download all the updates for the terrible online mode. Same goes for Doom.

 

[pantsattack]

Dishonored DLC cheaper than the definitive version! Yes, I will pay with steam bucks.

Bummed MGSV got a repackage. That will keep the price higher for longer. I hoped it would hit 15.

 

[bbd23]

I think I will go with Dreamfall Chapters only.It is 9$ (70%) and I don't expect it to go any lower in christmas sale.

hopefully they fixed performance in that game..I had to stop playing at the final chapter because it was so shit on release. thanks unity.

 

[Ascheroth]

Trails in the Sky or Stardew Valley?

They're both amazing and you can't really go wrong with either of them.
I vote Trails though.
