"You there, Gaffer. Didn't you see the warning? Turn back at once. Steam, burned and abandoned by men, is now home only to discounts. They are of no harm to those above. Turn back... or your wallet will face the hunt..."

 

[Arthea]

Anecdotal evidence, but I noticed myself and others, spending significantly more in the Autumn sale due to the niche games on the wishlist actually going on full discount.

It's the first time I hear about this, every single post I've read during sale was about not caring, spending less and not checking the store after first few days and things like that.

I'm not sure if it has been posted before.

CLP$ 149 @ Chile ~ 98%

I think there are some chilean guys here.

It can be activated too in:
Belice, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panamá, Bahamas, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Perú, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, Bolivia, Guyana, Surinám, Brasil, México.

Sounds like some short-sighted reactions. We will have to wait for numbers for more Steamspy analysis.

 

[Monooboe]

Aaah I couldn't resist getting Elder Scrolls Online when I saw it at the store. It was 28 euros, while more expensive than it would be during a sale I have to say it's great to be able to install from dvds, for such a huge game.

I'm also thinking about going all in with French language on the game, since I'm trying to learn and might be good way while gaming.

 

[Tecl0n]

I've been playing Dead Space, the first one. It's quite a good game so far.

[MadGear]

There are two things i really dislike about the current build of SFV:
1. Cammy sucks big time (on the other hand Nash now feels like one of the strongest characters).
2. Playing against players with a decent connection is amazing but playing against players with bad connections is worse than the lag/stutter in USF4. The rollback is just insane. The most insane rollbacks I have seen so far are yolo cancels of blocked specials into super. For Ryu you see the uppercut whiff completely but the instant you get ready to punish the game state is rolled back and the animation for his super plays. I sometimes also wonder if those with bad connection actually are having as much trouble as the one they are playing against.

Same here. It was a pretty good sale, compared to, say, the last winter one. Although i'm afraid this winter sale will be little else than a repeat of the Autumn sale for the most part.

 

[Kyougar]

b-but we wanted to get more people into steamgaf.

 

[Kyougar]

is this dress blue or gold. You missed an epic thread and news outlets worldwide were fighting if it was blue or golden.

Thank you very much for the feedback. I edited the text a bit more to be a bit less away from the sides, and now to send it for review.

It took me a second to get it, but it's a reference to that blue/gold dress shenanigan earlier this year.

Hey, I want to play that (need that "summer lesson" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ), but maaan, I don't want to buy a VR device lol

 

[Lomax]

We'll know exactly how successful the "no dailies" idea was by next summer when Valve either brings dailies back or doesn't. No one in this thread is a "typical" steam consumer, so none of our anecdotal experience really indicates anything.

 

[Copons]

I'm curious how the lack of Dailies/Flash sales has affected the sale. Personally, I gave almost no shits about the Autumn sale. Outside some meta game I'm interested in (Clickerssssssss), probably not going to pay much attention here either.

Well, it may have been a pretty good sale, but with no dailies (and flash, votes, etc.) there was zero engagement with it. Having the same stuff at the same price for a week, didn't really make me visit the site more than once the first day for checking out the sale, and a couple other times to check out some "hidden gems" prices.
And in the end I didn't buy anything on the off chance that during the Holiday sale, those games could be cheaper - or worst case, same price.

I'm not making a price argument here, as I'm happy to learn now that niche games were cheaper.
Problem is: I learned about it now.
Featured sales isn't the perfect system (and as Steam grows, it inevitably gets every day worse), but at least can direct customers to games they would never have heard of, but may buy because they show an 80% off tag in homepage.

But really, featured games changing every 8/12 hours was just simple, dumb fun.
Like arguing against repeats, waiting for the dailies, Ikaruga losing the community vote, people asking the usual stupid questions. It may be annoying in the long run, but for 2 weeks, twice a year, it had kind of a party quality, that now is inevitably missing.

Consumer engagement could be the easiest thing to fix.

• Continually rotate featured items every 12 hours to keep people checking in to see if they potentially missed a hidden gem.
• Sale cards will help people identify with the sale.
• Meta game will also help.

I'm sure there are other ways to increase consumer involvement that Valve will assuredly unearth.

Instructions leaked from Valve to keep prices the same for Autumn/Winter sales BTW. The Autumn sale has always been a head scratcher.

so kerbel is 40% off.. theres no way it goes lower than that during the sale right?

so i should just buy it now, right?

right??!

I wouldn't say that auto confirms it since Namco is weird with Tekken but sure it's a better chance.

The first point, I believe is the sort of engagement that dies fast though.
In previous sale, if you missed a rotation, you basically missed a better sale on games that could have interested you (because in wishlist or for the good price, whatever). Now, yeah, maybe you'll miss that one game that surprisingly escaped your thorough quest to put everything that matter in your wishlist. The games that were featured when I was distracted by browsing the Origin store, will still be there tomorrow, at the same price.

And yes, this mostly applies to us loyal old-timer customers, but I guess that's pretty much the same for cards and meta games.

Dunno, maybe it's just force of habit, and I'll get used quickly - or even prefer! - the new system.

[fantomena]

Completed Pneuma: Breath of Life on Xbone. It was free due to Games for Gold and I bought 1 month for 1$.

It was pretty good too. Mind blowing ending.

Now I don't need to buy the game on Steam.

 

[Nzyme32]

I don't think either are officially confirmed yet. During the talk he apparently didn't mention that, even though he did show both Tekken and Summer Lesson and talk at length about what they had learnt.

I'd wait for the content show case Valve are doing at some point during / after CES in January

[Stumpokapow]

Followup to my earlier request of whether it was possible or not to sort my wishlist by Steam reviews. Since it isn't, here's my strategy: submit a blank search request, sort by reviews, hide all games I own, hide all games marked Not Interested, show me only games, go to page 280, go backwards through the list page by page, stop when I notice a wishlist game.

Dailies and flash deals are all fine and good, but I'd much prefer there be some kind of meta game and not have dailies at all. Just hook the meta game into whatever the rotation is for the front page items every day. Or how they did the Portal2 arg/game ages ago with certain games participating and the rest are just on sale with no connection what so ever
