Support NeoGAF

[zkylon]

Apparently it was pulled off on January of this year due to legal problems. You can't even vote for it if it's on your library since you need the store page.

So was I, but I think a publisher dispute was the cause of it coming down from Steam

[JC Lately]

With the Mega Man Legacy collection in sale on both Steam and PSN, which is the better version?

If only we could nominate games on GOG, it would work

I'm wondering if I should double dip on Mirror's Edge for $5

 

[D3RANG3D]

[Rhaknar]

[TheSeks]

I'm wondering if I should double dip on Mirror's Edge for $5

Yes. And buy copies to give to people. Spread the gospel.

 

[Nibiru]

This is true. I attempted to play the game a few months ago after getting off a 16 hour shift at work and was just looking to relax. Servers were down, couldn't log in to play the single-player campaign. Deleted the game out of frustration, haven't reinstalled since.

Oh man this pains me because I really want the game.

 

[QFNS]

Oh man this pains me because I really want the game.

And I will say again that I have had the opposite experience. Never an issue with servers and played it just fine every time I've tried to play. /shrug

Hitman is probably my game of the year, although I need to play a few more rounds of Civ 6 to be sure, but both are up there. It's that good.

 

[MattPeters]

Tempted to grab Divinity Original Sin enhanced edition. Heard so much about it being great co-op, but how is it just solo?

 

[Deleted member 98878]

Just found out that steam exposes your full email address when you gift a game to someone. It's "just" my email address but I want to decide who gets to know my full name...

Most of you probably already knew this but I'm kinda shocked at how Steam treats my personal information :/

Fantastic. Never touched coop.

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Can the DualShock 4 be used in Bluetooth mode without the need to be hooked with an USB Cable with Steam? I just read in the latest Steam patch that now it supports Vibration with DS4 and Bluetooth lights.

 

[Majukun]

this sale i want everything and nothing at the same time...there are several games i'm interested in but none at a low enough price to justify the fact that i'll probably never play them beause of all the games i still have yet to finish

 

[daxy]

I'm wondering if I should double dip on Mirror's Edge for $5

It's come down to $2.50 before, if I recall correctly, so if you're not burning to play it now maybe wait until the winter sale.

 

[alr1ght]

Yeah, just pair it via bluetooth. PS button + Share.

They're both the same I hadn't noticed any performance issues.

 

[Majukun]

same here,got the game but never played it after the first day because the game kept kicking me out of my single player session because the servers were down or some shit

 

[LurkerPrime]

It's time to finally pick up Shardlight. Finally!

And speaking of Wadjet Eye, pretty much their entire catalogue of adventure games are 80% off. (Excluding Shardlight and a few others.) Highly recommend them all--great stuff.

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Yeah, just pair it via bluetooth. PS button + Share.

Nice thanks. I didn't know you need to use share button for that. Does the lights correspond to the game changes programmed in the PS4 versions of the same games on Steam? Waht about the motion controls? Is there any walkthrough for how to use the DualShock 4 on Steam?

 

[Dongs Macabre]

Perfect time for Bad Rats Show to be on sale.

 

[iosefe]

Life is Strange deserves that "I am not crying..." award so much!

i chose episode 3 for it, might change to episode 4, but i doubt people are choosing specific episodes like i am

 

[MattPeters]

Fantastic. Never touched coop.

Good enough for me, bought.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Let's face it, we're voting 8 of our Steam Favorites in this list (or at least, I did).

Felt good to go thru and not only buy some stuff SOOPAH cheap, but also get rid of some EA stuff that had shit the bed from my list either from bad updates or none at all.

Congratulations. You are an unpaid think tank for the valve corp. Sue them!

"Get in line" you know? heh

 

[rainking187]

Contradiction isn't on sale again. Wish I'd bought that bundle it was in.

 

[Regginator]

€29,99 for GTA V on Steam, or €22,79 on GamesPlanet... which one should I pick? Obviously the lower the better, but all sites except Steam sell a Rockstar Social key. I'd prefer having it on Steam, but to pay a €7 premium for it... Are there any reasons to choose Steam above other stores? Can I still play online with Steam players?

 

[Django.Mango]

Is Dead Age any good? Its 35% off.

Dropsy is 75% off.

 

[texhnolyze]

Just Cause 3 and Fallout 4 are on their all time low, right?

My main target, Dark Souls III is only 35% off. Other than that, I'm eyeing I am Setsuna but it's 33% off still. XCOM 2 is tempting, especially since it has a gamepad support now. Well, I guess I'll wait for the Winter sale. :/

We're talking about the same company that left people's personal data open to random members of the public for hours, and then didn't say anything about it and also didn't acknowledge that certain bits of info could be seen like phone numbers and full addresses.

At least they apologized for the issue in general, contacted the specific people who they believe were affected, and posted a pretty lengthy explanation for what happened. But it took days for that to happen.

I read various things about GTA online. I am not convinced that you should buy the game mainly for the online features. That being said, I think Steam is just really practical to download games, you should not be penalized if you opt for the cheaper version. Not sure what I would do.

 

[voodooray]

In the mood for a puzzler, and picked up Slayaway Camp. Love the options menu:

Also loving the themed 80's slasher horror in what's a fun puzzle game.

 

[PandaPedinte]

The wallpapers are nice, and their descriptions are funny. I liked this one so i just set it as my current wallpaper

Worse, it didn't take them days, it took them months.
The leak happened on the 25th of December, 2015, and I got an email about them leaking my account information on the 3rd of March, 2016.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Let's be honest, nobody's reading them.

At most they might make a script that finds the most commonly used words or phrases.

You don't have to deal with the Rockstar client and you get Steam achievements

 

[zkylon]

well i mean in the end this is some datamining bullshit so it's not like there's much prestige lost lol

 

[Shizuka]

Everybody should buy and play Steins;Gate. Install this mod to fix everything while you're at it.

 

[zkylon]

was this sale expected?

it caught me by complete surprise

 

[PandaPedinte]

I think so. At least I remember having an Autumn sale from when I started paying attention to Steam.

 

[Regginator]

I wouldn't be playing much online anyway, but if would play it from time to time, not being able to play with Steam players would be disappointing.

You don't have to deal with the Rockstar client and you get Steam achievements

Honestly I don't care much about achievements, though not dealing with their client would be a tipping point. But unless Enhanced Steam is wrong, it says GTA 5 uses R*SC on Steam..

 

[Abhor]

Here I am still waiting for a steeper sale on The Witcher 3 DLC / a sale on the season pass.

Cause I bought the base game on sale a month or two before GOTY edition came out, and haven't really played it yet beyond a few hours.

Meeeeh

Was also hoping for a Total War: Warhammer sale. Guess our planned co-op campaign is going to have to wait.

 

[JaseC]

was this sale expected?

There's been an Autumn Sale in November every year since 2010.

 

[someguyinahat]

Only seven items on my wishlist. Two are 75% off, but one of those is Arkham Origins and I never end up biting on that one. The second is Shadowrun Hong Kong, I might go for it.

Zesty Tales is 66% off. Worth?

Trails in the Sky SC is 35% off. Part of me wants to, the other part wants to replay FC to get those final points (I missed something in the friggin' prologue apparently.)

Phantom Brave is 25% off. Part of me wants to, the other part wants to wait for a deeper discount.

Contradiction is yet again undiscounted. Cmon, people, even Cladun X2 cracked.

And Bookworm Adventures 2 isn't even offered for sale anymore. I just keep it in my wishlist for posterity.

Rings a bell...

Just changed my Steam email address to a neutral one.

It's always expected if you're refreshing whenisthenextsteamsale.com every day.

For anyone looking for a good cheap game I'm going to recommend one of my favorites:
Space Rangers HD: A War Apart -75% $3,74
Space adventure, open world RPG, strategy, arcade, quest and more!
Recent:Overwhelmingly Positive (130 reviews)
Overall: Very Positive (1,773 reviews)

It's extremely hard to describe this game and the trailer doesn't make it very clear either probably but it's absolutely magnificent at what it does. (pasting part of a review that seemed to give a decent summary)

This game is an amalgam of Ur-Quan Masters, text adventure games, space sims and RTS. The main game is a space sim: you're taking control of a space ship in a semi-turn-based 2D space environment. You can fight, trade, hire companions and do various tasks like patrolling sectors or delivering valuable goods. You can also enter black holes, which changes the game to an Ur-Quan-esque arcade shooter. Sometimes the quests you get on planets or stations are text adventures or RTS missions of varying difficulty. Some are balls-bustingly hard.

Looks like a good time to get age of empires 3, age of mythology, and rise of nations again. Lost the discs ages ago

 

[Lashley]

You do for online

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Kept my custom award more traditional compared to everyone else it seems.

 

[def sim]

GMG is selling Mafia 3 Digital Deluxe Edition (includes season pass) for $35.79, lower than just the base game with voucher code.
