Does Ys hold up at all? Interested in picking it up but don't want to waste my time with an old game that is too difficult.

It totally does. Don't be afraid to use a guide, it is one of those games. You can straight break your save game.

It's not too difficult unless you play on a harder difficultly. It does feel a bit dated, updates and all.

Why the fuck is bethesda insulting me for purchasing their game at launch and most of the dlc as it was released. I was waiting to pick up dragonborn for it to be discounted but it's only getting a 33% discount. It's 20 cents cheaper than the legendary edition and that's straight fucking bullshit, it's fucking garbage -- it's not like I can gift the part of the legendary edition I don't need. It's super frustrating being punished for purchasing at release.

Welcome to video games. Now we just have to sit back and wait for publishers to bitch and moan about how nobody is buying games on release any more once people wise up.

 

[arts&crafts]

Own all 3 games voted Issac because I believe it is the best of the bunch.

 

[Saige]

I came back expecting Brothers.

I am upset.

 

[toastyToast]

Was about to buy Ys 1 & 2 but it turns out I already own it along with all the other Ys games on Steam

It's happening

 

[Erekiddo]

I'm tempted to pick up Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs but I haven't even played the first one yet...

 

[dani_dc]

I'm waiting for Dustforce, but are there any other top tier 2D indie platformers I've missed out on post Super Meat Boy?

If you don't have it, VVVVVV is an excelent game, though not your traditional platformer in the slightest.

And that's why I just wait for a cheap sale of GOTY version for certain publishers.

Dragonborn was also $5 a week or so ago on Amazon

 

[Arkanius]

Are you guys voting for Dear Esther?
I sure hope you are

 

[rrs]

Come on Skyrim GOTY/DLC be 75% off not this 66% wimp tier discount

 

[UrokeJoe]

Hurray, Skyrim for me please

This..

Played the first Dead Space on the 360 and enjoyed it, Dead Space 2 on Steam for $5 should be great!

 

[derFeef]

I'm tempted to pick up Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs but I haven't even played the first one yet...

it's completely different, no storry connections either. It's also not as "good" as the first one in terms of scare factor.

 

[FloatOn]

Beat Ys 1 and 2 a couple months ago. If you like mazes and grinding for levels these games are for you.

Rad soundtrack too.

 

[toddhunter]

I'm tempted to pick up Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs but I haven't even played the first one yet...

They are very different games. The first one is a horror title and a must play if you enjoy the genre. The second is more or less Dear Ether with pigs running around. I didn't much care for it but if that is more your style go for it.

 

[Random Painted HIghway]

But the mods!

Spoiler

Yeah I'm not buying the DLC till it is 75% off.

I know....argh..must be strong.

 

[rainking187]

Bought Ys, but I really wish the other games were similarly discounted.

 

[Salsa]

fuck you steam!

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

So Ys is good huh? Never played any in the series, I'm assuming these are good games to jump into it?

I suggest starting with Ys Oath in Felghana and Ys Origin. Chronicles plays completely different and can feel pretty outdated for newcomers. It's still a great game though.

 

[Dec]

Wise-y?

Eece-y

 

[Phatmac]

Don't feel confident buying Ys but at that price it's worth the risk. I'll probably dislike it but I'd like to try it regardless.

 

[FloatingDivider]

Welcome to video games. Now we just have to sit back and wait for publishers to bitch and moan about how nobody is buying games on release any more once people wise up.

I know I've personally stopped buying games, or atleast the dlc for games that I think are going to get a goty release. It has paid dividends for dishonored and other games but it's still dumb having my hand forced like that.

 

[not psycho]

I'm waiting for Dustforce, but are there any other top tier 2D indie platformers I've missed out on post Super Meat Boy?

Volgarr the Viking. Since you mentioned SMB, I'll add that it and Volgarr are my 2 favorite indie games overall.

 

[MRORANGE]

fuck you steam!

No cards, no deal.

 

[marrec]

You're a boooonerrrrr.

Dear Esther is definitely worth going through.

If you really like low quality purple prose set to okay looking backdrops with zero interactions sure.

Besides, Binding of Isaac is the Game of the Generation.

 

[Big Papa Husker]

WTF? How the hell did Brothers get beat out by Chivalry?

 

[Family Fry]

I'm waiting for Dustforce, but are there any other top tier 2D indie platformers I've missed out on post Super Meat Boy?

Please tell me you got Electronic Super Joy a few days ago?

It's the games long legs. Can only hope they drop it during the summer sale.

 

[PhaZZe]

Ok guys new flashs, WHERE IS KOF?

 

[tjohn86]

Skyrim DLC prices are a slap in the god damn face of launch buyers.

 

[Last Baron]

Enough with the voting Valve, haven't you caused enough suffering?

 

[styl3s]

Before i pull the trigger on Blacklist is the extra $5 worth the deluxe edition?

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

IF YOU ARE STILL THINKING ON GETTING YS, SEE THIS IMAGE.


NOW YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO!

 

[dani_dc]

fuck you steam!

As someone residing in Europe, where the game doesn't even have a release date, I can't begin to express the amount of hate and jealousyI feel at this moment.

 

[Cheddahz]

fuck you steam!

That game is worth the $30, though I would totally recommend that you try to get it physically

 

[Zushin]

Yup, great music and fun gameplay. I+II Chronicles+ is a bit older, but still fun. Felghana and Origin are the same style and are also great too!

Awesome, will buy.

I'm tempted to pick up Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs but I haven't even played the first one yet...

Isn't necessary to play the first, they aren't really story related too much IIRC.

 

[komorebi]

Are you guys voting for Dear Esther?
I sure hope you are

Definitely. I hope it wins.

 

[Vazra]

Who wants to me my not so secret Santa?

NOW TIME TO GET READY FOR WORK!!!!!

I SAW THAT.

 

[Sergiepoo]

Damn. I was hoping that Skyrim Legendary Edition would go lower than that.

Since this flash sale is just for the vanilla version, is there a chance that the real sale for Skyrim: LE is still coming?

 

[KingKong]

It says Brothers requires a controller, but does it still work with keyboard/mouse?

I have no problem playing GTA, Assassins Creed, Dark Souls (after fix) with kbm so just wondering

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

what?

I SAW THAT.

WRONG URL

It's really pretty though. I think the narrative was about kidney stones but I kind of zoned out.

 

[RazorbackDB]

bought skyrim just for modding.

 

[Salsa]

impossible

south america gonna south america

glad it's $30 since I had $70 sitting there and now I can save the remaining $40 for Bravely Default

all is well

[derFeef]

I SAW THAT.

So YS is based on Skullgirls universe.

 

[Hubb]

WRONG URL

It's ok Skullgirls is a good buy too.

Agreed 110%. I bought Skyrim at launch and right now it would cost me $25 to buy all of the DLC for my game, yet the freaking Legendary Edition, with the game plus all DLC, is $5 less than that at $20!!!!!

This is the second sale that's happened at, makes me want to skip Elder Scrolls 6 at launch and just wait for the inevitable GOTY Ultimate Legendary Gold Edition instead.


Fuck Skyrim, I'm waiting until the deal is worth it to buy all that DLC. The checkbook balancing part of me simply can't justify that, I just can't. I think I'll get the free mod Skywind instead.

 

[Levyne]

Haha. Great image.
