Steam "Exploration Sale" -- i.e. Autumn Sale -- now live (November 26 - December 2)
- Thread starter JaseC
- Start date
DR2's online co-op isn't really the star of the show, so it doesn't really matter if that's impacted too much.
But really, it's why the whole "OMG STEAMWORKS PORT OMG GfWL DIE DIE DIE" stuff makes me leery of cheerleading. When the port jobs turn out to be like Ultra? Eeeeeeesh.

Is there any way to upgrade Fallout: New Vegas to the complete edition without paying the full $5? I'm feeling dumb for buying the original game sans all DLC.
Extremely overrated.
This was what I was hoping for too.
Hopefully the DLC will be 75% off during the holiday sale.

This is cheaper than buying the GOTY edition right?
It's not broken so much as it is just a product of its time. It crashes if you have a multi-core CPU since it was developed with single-core CPUs in mind. A simple tweak to the ini file fixed the stability problems of the game for me.

I didn't like it at all, but I am up to this challenge.

There, that should do it.
You could buy the DLC separately, since the UE isn't a separate app but rather a game + DLC Steam bundle (you'll notice that the app id used for the store page is abnormally high -- 2028016 versus ~335000, meaning the app doesn't actually exist), but doing so would actually cost you more.

Can't be as bad as Bastion, right?

How do you see yesterdays deals? they should still be availble right?
They're in the OP. You may notice that the current deals have "Dec1" in the image filesnames, but that's just because the store updates at 2am here (1am when the US is observing daylight savings).

Watch the opening on YouTube. If that doesn't sell you, I don't know what will.
the goty edition is 7.49 while the base game is 4.99 and the upgrade pack is 2.49.
so you save a penny instead of just buying the goty if you don't have the game at all
I got Max Payne 1 to run but I had to mess with the compatibility settings and the sound was all messed up. Apparently there's an unofficial patch that fixes the sound but I couldn't find a working download link. I didn't try Max Payne 2 but it's probably the same deal.

Everyone being swayed this: GET LEGEND OF GRIMROCK II with it! It is an amazingly well done dungeon crawler: exceedingly clever, a vastly improved skill system, and fiendishly good level design. There's very good reasons the % on these deals are so small. Very, very good reasons.
It has wonderful art and music, plus the Function battle system could be incredibly powerful, even for as well-realized as it is now. It does do some things wrong that Bastion did right that they share though.
Shame. Doubt you can use a controller too.
When?
Ever? 100%
Now? 0%
At Christmas? No idea, but usually there aren't many better deals compared to Autumn.
Sometimes I wonder how people found neogaf if they do not know how to use google.

the types of sound files used in MP1 are older formats that arent supported, the patch can be found via the game's discussion pages on steam, after you use that it works great..
MP2 works out of the gate
edit: link to mp1 patch above lol

Picked up Oniken and Gunpoint... Was great to see NeoGaf listed as a primary source recommedning Oniken for me haha- after playing through Metal Slug 3 and Jobbs' Ghost Song Beta I've been itching for sidescrollers.

I don't feel like Transistor has gotten nearly as much of the praise that Bastion did.
You wouldn't have happened to have played Chivalry Medieval Warfare just now? Someone legit asked the same question in the chat, thought it was a joke at first

Oh no, I'm not playing now. I were playing Call of Duty: Black Ops II when I were reminded of the ping.

Bastion is novel, Transistor is not. After the breath of fresh air that is Bastion, releasing a game that so desperately wants to mimick it can only end in disaster. I mean, they all but directly copied the well-received storytelling and sound design of Bastion, while the forgettable gameplay was drastically overhauled.
The last time I googled for a solution all I found was an old forum thread with a dead download link. This was during the Summer Sale so it was before that solution was even posted.

Ok so not this year probably. Thanks
Not at all. You want to look at Endless Legend or Civ for comparison.

I might be crazy but didn't you used to get an email from steam when a game from your wishlist was a daily deal? Could of sworn that's how it used to work..

Not in times of sale.

I just want to mention that Titanfall is awesome on PC and only $5. And since it's on Origin you can try it for 24 hours to see if you like it.

I don't see what's wrong with that. are indie developers somehow expected to make drastically different games every time?
(note: I haven't played transistor)
I'm playing Max Payne 2 on 8.1 at 4K right now.
There are unofficial widescreen and sound patches available. You may also have to do some other fixes to get the game running appropriately on your system.
Pcgamingwiki is always a good place to start.
Age of Empires is an RTS, Age of Wonders is a 4X.
I don't really think anyones saying that there's anything wrong with it so much as that that's why it doesn't have as much hype
I felt the game was critically overrated compared to where I feel the game's at for gameplay/music/story, etc. I'm in the minority though, and I respect others who dig the game.

Age of Empires is like Starcraft. Age of Wonders is turn-based like Civilization.
If you're looking for real-time combat with turn-based gameplay as well, look into the Total War games or even King Arthur: The Roleplaying Wargame.
Regardless of my feelings on Transistor, I think the lack of sublime new ideas are what stopped it from being a media sensation like Bastion was. That's all I was getting at.
