MGSV GZ costs as much as TPP... Wtf srsly konami

 

[derFeef]

Do Tecmo games go lower than 50% usually?

 

[NingenJanai]

PSA, get Rambo, it's really cheap and will get removed from the store soon probably.

 

[Card Boy]

Hard to resist The Legend of Adventure Time at $1.50. The game was like $40 at one stage.

 

[rainking187]

I just got a card drop after about half an hour of idling. Guess my two hour wait time disappeared for some reason.

Fallout 4 (physical) is 10 bucks at Gamestop. http://www.gamestop.com/pc/games/fallout-4/122220

 

[derFeef]

what's the best way to browse steam sales now that they don't have the daily / flash deals changing every day?

I like importing my wishlist to isthereanydeal.com and going from there. Also shows that often Steam has worse prices

 

[hooijdonk17]

Is Skyrim a good game on its own, or is the Skyrim + Addons pack an essential?

 

[Eila]

Grabbed it, thanks.
I really don't like this new format, as it's really hard to find good deals.

Game is awesome without it - but amazing with it. IMO they add some really good content.

 

[AxeMan]

I think that always happens. IIRC it's a byproduct of the Family Sharing system.

Ok. Thanks for your help. You too JaseC

 

[JaseC]

No. I just logged in.

Picture below. Name is the same on both that I cropped out
Top one is my laptop, bottom one is my PC

Can't get imgur to work properly

So you've the option to play the games on the newly-created account that doesn't actually own anything? If Family Sharing had enabled itself, the "Play" button section would name the account owner, so my only guess is that it's some sort of strange bug related to the two accounts sharing an e-mail address.

The Legendary Edition can be gotten for under $9 from Cdkeys (with Facebook like) if its that much of a hard choice

I've played it for 100h+ without touching the addons.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

How's Hyper Light Drifter? Interested now with that 60fps mode.

This explains it.
I just tried to launch one of the games and it says that it belongs to my normal account and would I like to request access to it.
So it seems that the Steam client will see any games already installed regardless of the account purchased with but you can't run them

 

[texhnolyze]

I need a good RPG. Preferably 3rd person. Cheap. Not Elder Scrolls or Witcher. The more depth the better. Not an old school one.

I'm being too picky, aren't I?

Dark Souls games? Other than that, perhaps Divinity 2 and/or Kingdom of Amalur.

Do Tecmo games go lower than 50% usually?

Yeah. I've been eyeing on a couple of them and they're still staying at 50% off at most.

Most of their games has barely sold 50k or less and they're still so persistent. It's baffling.

60 fps mode makes i play properly imo
It has offlime coop so u and a friend can play thru the game together!

My Alt account does this too, just checked. Though mine have two separate email addresses and my alt account has some games for card reasons! I also had a "Lift it" booster waiting for me!

Will probs get it. I do enjoy indie games more than most AAA titles these days.

Larian Studios just posted a new video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=og0DutO6_gg

New patch for Dragon Commander, or Dragon Commander 2?

Given the end of the video, something like a "Long War" mod for Dragon Commander?

Maybe I'm reading too much into it. Anyway, I really enjoyed the Dragon Commander campaign.

Oh, yeah, that's standard behaviour and what Corpekata was referring to earlier. It's definitely rather inelegant, though, so I can understand the confusion. Installed games that the account doesn't own ought to be moved to a separate subsection in the list (e.g. "Installed on this system").

 

[hooijdonk17]

Thanks to all who replied about Skyrim. Here's another question, are Dishonored DLCs essential or substantial?

 

[Mutagenic]

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis for $1.49, aww yeah.

 

[JaseC]

Thanks to all who replied about Skyrim. Here's another question, are Dishonored DLCs essential or substantial?

The Other Side of the Coin The Knife of Dunwall and The Brigmore Witches are both solid mini-expansions that last a few hours or so. The antagonist in the latter is also the antagonist in Dishonored 2.

Edit: Err, antagonist, not protagonist.

Fall of Cybertron is the cheapest it had ever been on Steam
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/53422/

I've been wondering if these are signs that Acti are losing the TF license >_>

I'll try to get a Hidden Gems thread up in a few hours time too

Always assume the worst when it comes to Acti's licensed stuff.

Edit: Oh, and a reminder that Acti's financial year follows the calendar and it drops unwanted licences late December/early January.

 

[Parsnip]

I've wanted the new Hitman for awhile now but is it still always online. I mean I'm always connected obviously but I heard if their servers go down the game boots you even though it's only single player.

Played over 90 hours of Hitman and have never had any server shenanigans happen to me.

 

[zkylon]

played a bit of hitman, enjoying it much better than disho2 lol

something about dishonored 2 isn't clicking for me, it may be the story starting out really shitty or the terrible performance, so the immediate silliness of hitman is kind of amazing in comparison

 

[Englebert3rd]

Selling cards like a madman just to get Dragon's Dogma. Only £1 left to get it for free.

 

[Uzzy]

For those of you who haven't bought Transistor yet, it's 75% off. As is the bundle with it's divine soundtrack. You can even get a FLAC version of it.

There's also a sale on at the Supergiant store, if you want to be cool and get some merch.

 

[kagamin]

I'm probably going to sit this sale out, wallet too light right now.

 

[Nudull]

Could use some RPGs, but I only have $20 to spare. Barely any of Squeenix's JRPGs are on sale either.

 

[hooijdonk17]

A tiny recommendation to all:



Very fun short indie platformer with great atmosphere and a nice Lovecraftian story..

 

[Backlogger]

Not Steam but MS is selling Recore Xbox/W10 play anywhere for $15

What a bomba, but I might cave at that price. I enjoyed the brief time in spent on the Demo.

It's a neat game if you like exploration (with grinding) and some tight shooting and platforming mechanics. For that price I can recommend it.

Two thirds of the game were enjoyable - the politics & intrigue part was great and the Risk like strategy part was fine as well. Too bad that the actual gameplay was tedious at best and no fun at all.

Could I buy from the USA windows store/buy from a GAF user who buys this and redeem on my UK account. We don't have this offer

i really wanted to play dragon commander without the rts bits in it

Who knows, but they still support it from within MS so I doubt it's happening anytime soon.

Get The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky

 

[Tapejara]

I think I'm going to grab all 3 Re;birth Neptunia games and that will be it. Gave the first one a shot on the Vita, didn't like it that much, but performance was one of the reasons. Hopefully it will make me laugh if I give it enough time.

Was thinking about buying Hitman, but even after watching almost all Giant Bomb video features with it, I feel 0 drive to actually play it.

I liked the first Neptunia on PS3 because of the writing, but after that the series lost me. Hopefully it holds up for you, because I thought it was really funny at the time. Not sure what I'd think of it now though.

IIRC the games are more of the same but improve on their predecessor.
Get Neptunia 1 for now. If you like it get 2 and onwards.
Neputnia VII is really Neptunia Victory 2 btw.

 

[heringer]

Bought Dragon's Dogma. Hope I like it!

 

[Cosmic Schwung]

Shadow of Mordor GOTY is -50%, it's been on a bigger sale right? (-75% I believe).

Yeah, it's been cheaper plenty of times. If you can't wait get it from cdkeys for £4.

 

[Tizoc]

Did you get ti from Humblebundle.com which nets you 5 additional games as well?

Must have missed that. The bundle is over though, how much was it?

I paid the equivalent of $8 on Steam (Brazil).

 

[Deques]

My first purchase

Must have missed that. The bundle is over though, how much was it?

It's not over, it's part of the next Monthly bundle

I'm talking about the monthly bundle-
https://www.humblebundle.com/monthly
Buy the bundle, go into your HB account details and unsubscribe from Monthly bundle so you won't get charged another $12 for the next bundle.
You'll get your DD key straight away and then next week you get the other 5 games.
