Is there a way to see ignored friend requests again? Last night I got a bunch of requests, was on mobile and clicked ignore on one of them by mistake :s If you read this, please send a request again if you see I didn't accept

Ys I and II.

I don't know, I've always wanted to get into the series but are these the best starting points?
Click to expand...

not really, they are very dated compared to any semi-modern action rpg. Oath in Felghana or Origins are much more tradional and better starting points in my opinion. I & II (which I just bought myself) fall more in a "lets see where this awesome series started" category, more of a curiosity if anything (at least for me).

Hell you dont even attack, you literally run / bump into enemies to damage dmg them :p

What's this Steamgroup everybody talks about.

Would love to join it, if I'm not already a member...

Another Steam-moment for me today: Excited seeing Ys 1+2 being on flash sale. Realizing moments later that I already own them.

Waking up to see that Brothers had lost to fucking Chivalry was like waking up and stepping on a giant horse turd at the side of your bed, only to then stumble into an active volcano, where your nightstand was supposed to be.

Goddamn unbelievable, i have zero faith in PC gamers now.

Chivalry is a great MP game, if that's not your thing though, I could understand your dissapointment, BUT, it has some of the best(if not the best) first person melee focused combat you'll probably every play in a game. That said, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is $6.00 on Amazon. It was $5.00 earlier in the week, but even at $6.00 it seems like a good deal.

What's the general consensus on Ys I & II Chronicles+?

I'm looking for something different to play, I haven't touched any of these styled games in years and looking to get back into it. It's only on sale for 40 more minutes and looking for any reason to buy it.

I would bet good money that Brothers will get a daily or at least a flash deal anyway. People need to chill and realise we are on day 5 (of 11 not counting the last encore day) so not even halfway done :)

dont get me wrong, Im not trashing the games (like I said I just bought them lol) but I dont think they are the best starting point.
Click to expand...

They are pretty amazing for something that was originally released in 1987. Lovely music as well.
Origins is the better starting point, true.

I wonder if I'll enjoy Gone Home. Of the other 2...non-games as some call them, I loved Stanley Parable but hated Dear Esther (hey I guess I dont like everything :p ). I'll definately pick it up if its 75% like some weeks ago, but not sure what to expect
Click to expand...

If you like good narratives then this game will satisfy. It's not as bad as Dear Esther from what I've gathered.

Wake and see that Brothers didn't win. Chivalry, already on sale, did.

Steam is great. Community are idiots.

It's a shame but it's no news, to be honest. After some Sales it has been really predictable and it will be always something like this:

The cheaper game or the most known game always win. It does not matter if it's been on sale or not, the bigger discount, the more people vote in. Action games tend to win even if they were on sale several times, less known indies get less votes even when they are good ones and so on. a game like The Walking Dead will always win for example, this Sale was no different.

Anyone ever have problems launching games in steam? Sometimes when I launch Dark Souls it hangs on the 'Preparing to launch' window for a few minutes (!). Then again, sometimes it launches instantly so it's quite weird.

Mod it up with Requiem and Frostfall and experience Dark Souls level of masochism and immersion. Plus the many many combat mods that fix some of the very basic fundamental problems of the Skyrim Vanilla.

Skyrim Gems is a good place to start. It has some of the best mods you could want.
Click to expand...

Wow, this is amazing. I just picked up Legendary and having never beat the vanilla game, I'm really looking forward to going back to it with mods + DLC.

Small giveaway, but it has the bonus of being one of my favorite gaffer made games.

Well Braid just won and it was the most expensive one just now! Haha, but these are really low prices for games that has been in several bundles before, so it's an exception.

Either way I hope you can find your most wanted deals in this sale, there's always a chance if not in the Encore day.

I bought it recently and was looking into some mods. Looked a bit too far...

They have bestiality mods out there, among others.

My eyes. My soul!
