Support NeoGAF

[yuraya]

Until Dec 26th. Well, almost all of the previous sales had ME2 as a daily or flash, so, chances are it will be featured again.

Ok thanks for the info

 

[Dambrosi]

I'll form/host a Rise of the Triad 4-pack if anyone is interested. Let me know. Comes out to $2.25 a person.

I'm in, if you'll let me - UKer here.

 

[Salsa]

who is this video game made for?

id say its pretty clear

 

[nexen]

Can someone explain to me where I'm getting XP from? I'm not crafting badges. All I'm doing is idling, buying games, and selling cards.
I did get a few achievements last night, is that it?

 

[Beelzebubs]

The Sonic Transformed 4-pack is currently $15, and I'd quite like to get a 4-pack buy in organized. It would be $3.75 a piece, sent to me by Amazon gift card to cover your buy in. PM me if you're interested.

PM sent.

You get XP for buying games.

Bad Hotel keys unavailable at humble bundle BTA... really guys >_> oh well, gotta wait. Speaking of BTA games, here's Bard's Tale enjoy

Nice giveaway. For those that don't know this includes Bard's Tale 1 through 3.
Not sure if they improved them, but they look better than I remember. (maybe these are the Amiga versions or something)

from buying games

You get XP for buying games.

Didn't know. Thanks.

Damn I have like 7xp before I level. :\

 

[Eusis]

People will buy it solely for the insane discount/price. :/

They probably won't even look to see if they own it. "Wow it's 30 cents and I know nothing about the others, let's vote for that!"

Seriously, I see I have it via a Humble Bundle (... probably) and the other two games legitimately interest me, so it'd figure the one time I'd be most inclined to get the community deal the two games would outvoted by some dumb piece of crap many got through a Humble Bundle anyway.

You get a badge everytime you spend 10$. Gives you 100xp each time. I think.

 

[Saige]

If you didn't want to wait, you could've bought it from Amazon for $5.99.

Oh I did, I thought it was going to be just $5 as a future daily.

Damn chivalry voters made me pay $1 more. You're all dead to me.

So gaffers.

 

[firehawk12]

Any Rise of the Triad four pack groups going around?

 

[ChiefofCitadelSecurity]

Yep, Long Live The Queen is gonna lose. Kentucky should have this in the bag unless people are feeling cheap as fuck.

 

[PandaPedinte]

long live the queen looks and sounds awful.

who is this video game made for?

It's GOTY material.

 

[FloatOn]

id say its pretty clear

the internet never stops being creepy.

 

[inm8num2]

Just out of curiosity from seeing another comment, I checked ROTT 4-pack at checkout and it says it's not giftable in my territory. I'm in North America - does that mean you can't gift it within NA, or is that a mistake?

 

[Arthea]

for all what's good and fun, I hope you all voted for Long Live the Queen!

 

[honorless]

Some LLTQ knowledge for the uninformed.

LLTQ is definitely not an RPG in the traditional sense. You basically pick what she is going to 'study' each week, which raises some of your numerous stats. Then each week something happens and it checks whether your stats are high enough to 'pass' it using various means, or if you fail. Then, at some point in most playthroughs, you fail a very important test, and die in some horrible manner. So yeah, it's closer to a visual novel than anything else. There's a number of story beats that happen in every single playthrough, but depending on your choices things can go off in a number of surreal directions, from engaging in a magical duel for the fate of your kingdom, to taking an arrow in the gut on the way to a kids birthday party.

Long Live the Queen is a game where you have to survive 40 weeks until your coronation-- preferably with your kingdom still intact. You study things like dancing, flattery, history, swordplay, and divination, and get various skill checks along the way based on your choices.

The screenshot you posted is trying to deliver a backhanded compliment to the woman trying to seduce the king, and failing.

 

[CambriaRising]

Son of a bitch. Didn't realize Far Cry 3 was Uplay on GMG. You finally got me Ubisoft. I'm fucking installing Uplay...

You would have had to anyway.

 

[waby]

Dang, I want RPG Maker VX Ace for that price... no way I'll have enough through selling cards.

I though I was the only one wanting to get that. Nice to know someone is interested.

I bought some super cheap indie games ang gifted them to my rl friends. Happy holidays GAF!

 

[MiKeD]

My sis wants a game like Civ but then fantasy world stuff, doesn't matter if it's turn based or not. Any suggestions?

 

[corrosivefrost]

I'm in, if you'll let me - UKer here.

We could do one if you find two more.

It sure is. I can easily find it for £20.

Where. I'd bite for $20.

Warlock: Master of the Arcane

you missed it for cheaper tho

 

[Dambrosi]

Any Rise of the Triad four pack groups going around?

Bigwinnerx is doing one.

Where. I'd bite for $20.

He's probably talking about retail copies. Yes, the retail market in the UK is that bad.

Oh, and he said £20, not $20, which is more like £14 in real money.

 

[Momentary]

ME3 and DA2 for cheap at Amazon? AND it's on Origin? Damn what a DEAL!

 

[Jawmuncher]

Voted Long live the Queen.
Really hope that wins. It has absolutely no sale price aside from the current 10% and it's the main game I wanted this sale that I thought wouldn't get a bigger discount.

 

[Beelzebubs]

There's some good mods out there for Civ which will make it more fantasy.

Warlock - Master of the Arcane

 

[Rhaknar]

Attention Attention

Indiegala has 50% off their bundles atm, you can get Teleglitch for $2!!! (and gift out there rest here if you dont want them lol)

The codemasters and other bundles are also 50% off

 

[dani_dc]

id say its pretty clear

So, it was made for everyone?

I mean, I can't see who that wouldn't appeal to.

 

[FloatOn]

for all what's good and fun, I hope you all voted for Long Live the Queen!

nope. I voted KR0 even though I have no intention of playing it until all the episodes are out.

I had my fill of long live the queen when my little sister used to watch sailor moon years ago.

 

[RionaaM]

I can't decide which of the Arma games to get. I want Operation Flashpoint (Cold War Assault) because I loved it back then, but I don't know if Arma 1 and 2 are worth getting too. Are they? I only plan on playing the single player campaigns, and if they are similar to OF then I think I'll like them.

They probably won't even look to see if they own it. "Wow it's 30 cents and I know nothing about the others, let's vote for that!"

Seriously, I see I have it via a Humble Bundle (... probably) and the other two games legitimately interest me, so it'd figure the one time I'd be most inclined to get the community deal the two games would outvoted by some dumb piece of crap many got through a Humble Bundle anyway.

Super Hexagon is a dumb piece of crap now? OK, now I've seen everything...

 

[Arthea]

Rise of the Triad has any singleplay worth notice?

 

[corrosivefrost]

Bigwinnerx is doing one.

Pretty sure his life is full

 

[Copons]

Steam seems to love anime games (Agarest, anyone?), so there's high probability LLTQ will win (as it should).

RoTT bought, 80% is the new 75%?

Euro Truck Sim 2+DLC 75% off on GMG. Someone (Coupons?) sell the game to me.

If by "Coupons" you meant me, I won't sell you shit my friend.





I'm sure you already heard lots of people saying something like "if you enjoy driving for a long times" or "there's a cool web radio".
Well, while those things are true, I believe the biggest appeal ETS2 had on me was the totally huge surprise I had when I noticed I was actually enjoying that. And with "that" I mean a simulation of what arguably is a crappy and boring job.
Explaining why is so enjoyable, well, that's pretty hard to do. It may be the radio (which I don't use very much), it may be the overall relaxation, it may be because maneuvering a truck is hard as hell. I suppose anyone would find his own personal reason to appreciate ETS2.

 

[Caerith]

who is this video game made for?

It's made for people who like games that are hard as hell with stories where everything isn't spelled out for them but rather has to be pieced together from context and background.

 

[Razorskin]

My sis wants a game like Civ but then fantasy world stuff, doesn't matter if it's turn based or not. Any suggestions?

Warlock: Master of the Arcane

Galactic Civilizations II but that's less friendly than Civ

 

[Yuuichi]

My sis wants a game like Civ but then fantasy world stuff, doesn't matter if it's turn based or not. Any suggestions?

I think Fallen Enchantress would meet that description.

 

[bigwinnerx]

Pretty sure his life is full

I haven't heard from one of the maybes yet, if that opens up, I'll post again about it.

 

[Wynnebeck]

Hmm. Tempted to double dip on State of Decay, but I remember it being less DayZ and more Dead Island the last time I played. Am I correct?

 

[redfirm]

if KY Route Zero! doesnt win i will call a few people who know a few people..

 

[kurahador]

Fallen Enchantress.

[Jawmuncher]

Yep, Long Live The Queen is gonna lose. Kentucky should have this in the bag unless people are feeling cheap as fuck.

Thus far the cheaper the game price is USUALLY what has been winning the votes.
Also Kentucky Route Zero is on sale on Amazon if it loses the flash.

long live the queen looks and sounds awful.

who is this video game made for?

People with exceptional taste in gaming.
Such as myself.
_______________________________________________________________________-

grabbed Rise of the Triad 3 bucks is a sweet price there.

 

[Crash Station]

Voted for Long Live the Queen. It's not going to win though

 

[corrosivefrost]

I haven't heard from one of the maybes yet, if that opens up, I'll post again about it.

Am I #5 then and on deck to fill in?

US if it matters.

 

[belushy]

I though I was the only one wanting to get that. Nice to know someone is interested.

Yeah, I've been eyeing it for awhile now. That is a crazy price for it too. Maybe I'll have the funds next time it is on sale.

 

[Concept17]

Hmm. Tempted to double dip on State of Decay, but I remember it being less DayZ and more Dead Island the last time I played. Am I correct?

I'm wondering this too. I like the game's features, but lack of co-op is a huge downer for me. How fun is it single-player?

 

[DeadlyVirus]

Is there a trading card thread?
Got 3 stanley parable cards =/
