[Head of Vengarl]

Someone try to convince me that Dark Souls won't be an absolutely miserable experience. From what I've heard, the "appeal" of the game is that it's incredibly punishing and difficult, but very satisfying once you succeed. That sounds kinda like purposely giving yourself blue balls so it will feel really good once you get laid.

 

[Alex]

60FPS versus 30FPS.

So yes.

But both are mediocre. :/

I thought it was a blast on PC. Combat was perfectly fine and it was just such a fun and pretty game.

Can anyone tell me about Van Helsing? I'm particularly interested since it has pad support and online co-op

 

[TheSeks]

So will the game still be playable after GFWL goes away?

Yes, offline. We dunno how they're going to do online.

 

[Rhaknar]

it annoys me greatly that Gone Home isnt 5 :/

 

[corrosivefrost]

Today is Brothers day, right? Right?

Yeah, sure is. It was announced to be free for PS+ members (PS3) in January.

90% off believe!

75% off and I voted for that one, just for you.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

I voted spelunky although I already have it on the superior format (vita)

 

[Derrick01]

Gone Home is the perfect game for people who thought Dear Esther had too much violence.

But I thought that game didn't have any combat in....ohhh. It's that boring huh?

 

[rezn0r]

I think I will grab a copy of Dark Souls to give away later.

Really guys, is Van Helsing any good? I like Diablo and it looks like a fun Diablo clone.

Haven't touched Van Helsing yet so I can't comment on it, but if you haven't played Path of Excile, which is free, check it out!

 

[Cyrano]

Will ask again, is Inquisitor any good?

 

[MachoSuave]

I have ascended passed the "you already own this game" point and have arrived in "you have already gifted this game to that friend" territory. Gotta remember to check these things beforehand.

Voted Spelunky but Moncao gon' win, majority voters just seem to be piling their votes on the biggest % discount. If Steam could stop incentivising voting by next sale that'd be nice.

 

[Hellsing321]

Just Gone Home for me today.

 

[Dascu]

Good thing I held off on the Amazon sale for Dark Souls.
Preparing to die...again

I've read some conflicting opinion: how are the kb/m controls? I've read posts on Steam saying people feel comfortable and more precise with kb/m,

Those people are likely in a mental asylum. Really, use a controller.

 

[VisceralBowl]

I remove my holiday cards from market listings, not realizing its 10. My cards did not get put into my inventory..... Did I just loose my cards?

 

[Nabs]

Good thing I held off on the Amazon sale.
Preparing to die...again

I've read some conflicting opinion: how are the kb/m controls? I've head posts on Steam saying people feel comfortable and more precise with kb/m,

It's bad, but there's supposedly a mod that can fix it. You could just plug in your DS3 and set it up for PC.

So will the game still be playable after GFWL goes away?

You can crack the game for offline play, but you'll miss a lot of the cool online stuff. No clue how the GFWL stuff will be handled by From/Namco.

They are awful. It's the best game ever but don't even try the kb/m, you will be eaten alive.

Another day when I own everything I want.

Still holding out on:
- maybe if Shadowrun Returns returns
- another copy of CS:GO

 

[Krusenstern]

I want dark souls, but big backlog + gfwl is a no for me

Dark Souls isn't a game you put aside because of your backlog.

It's a game that makes your backlog look like shit.

 

[-MD-]

But I thought that game didn't have any combat in....ohhh. It's that boring huh?

No combat = boring?

 

[VitalNerve]

Just don't do it. Most overhyped garbage game I have ever played. I want that hour and a half of my life back. Wee for a visual novel about a teenage coming of age story.

Jesus Christ, the game is more than that dude.

 

[Sulik2]

But I thought that game didn't have any combat in....ohhh. It's that boring huh?

You have no idea. Its audiologs the game. And the story is hot garbage.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Asking again, how's unEpic?

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

But I thought that game didn't have any combat in....ohhh. It's that boring huh?

Don't buy the game. I don't want to read you bitching about it for months.

 

[feel]

Oh so now we're cool with voting for the super popular game everyone here should already have.

That's part of it but Dark Souls is special for countless other reasons too.

 

[antitrop]

But I thought that game didn't have any combat in....ohhh. It's that boring huh?

I thought it was the exact opposite of boring, it was one of the most engaging experiences I've had in gaming in the last several years.

 

[Sullichin]

I got DMC for $10 on GMG yesterday, in case anyone was thinking about getting that. Not sure if it's still that price there.

It's a lot like the original Zelda.

If you just run around swinging your sword you will die fast. But if you play properly, you will only die when you suck.

There is no hand holding. There is no special mark on breakable walls. You can miss stuff.

This all makes the game very rewarding.

 

[Eraser_Arcade]

You get multiple credits, but they can only be applied once per purchase. So you'll be able to get $5 off five different games for example, but not $25 off one.

Thanks, that's what I wanted to know.

 

[soontroll]

Is Van Helsing any good? I like vampire universes so I already like the premise but does the gameplay stack up?

 

[PandaPedinte]

As someone who likes a lot of roguelikes, is Sword of The Stars: The Pit any good? Also, is Lunnye Devitsy any good? I like exploration games.

SotS: the Pit is ok and I didn't enjoy Lunnye Devitsy.

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

These new deals are disappointing.

 

[dark_inferno]

Is the Dmc PC version superior enough to buy over a free ps3 version?

If you like the game buy the PC version too. You support the devs.

 

[mannerbot]

Best day of the sale so far, Dark Souls and Spelunky (assuming the community doesn't completely drop the ball). Everyone should own both.

 

[-MD-]

If Steam could stop incentivising voting by next sale that'd be nice.

Yeah, really.

 

[Jonm1010]

Why does the vote have to be Monaco, anti chamber and spelunky?

Spelunky is great and I already own it so I want either Monaco or antechamber though I don't know which. Then on the other hand I feel spelunky deserves my support cause I know the other two will end up at the end of a huge backlog....oh steam, you always like to do this to me. You couldn't just put one of those games up against Bad Rats or something.

 

[Rhaknar]

Asking again, how's unEpic?

I really liked it, cool metroidvania, quite long, huge map, gets a bit hard later on, I actually didnt finish it Did play like 18 hours tho

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

I got DMC for $10 on GMG yesterday, in case anyone was thinking about getting that. Not sure if it's still that price there.

It's not. I checked

 

[antitrop]

Van Helsing is amazing, I enjoyed it more than Torchlight II.

 

[GasProblem]

I voted for Spelunky on my mobile....but it says I voted for Monaco on my pc. Eh?

 

[RealMeat]

Anyone played UnEpic? Is it worth it now, or better to wait until it's out of early access?

 

[Nzyme32]

Steam won't start for me :c anyone else having issues logging in?

I wasn't able to log into the client for quite a while even though I could log in on the site and mobile. It's all working now for me, not sure if they were fixing things or something

 

[hellocld]

Does Dark Souls still have GFWL shenanigans going on? Or has that been removed?

 

[Kadin]

Really guys, is Van Helsing any good? I like Diablo and it looks like a fun Diablo clone.

I'm trying to decide on this too. I loved D3 and wasn't a huge fan of PoE although I only played during early Beta so... but I need something new now.

Just realized there's a demo... there we go!

 

[-MD-]

Oh so now we're cool with voting for the super popular game everyone here should already have.

All 3 choices are popular games.

 

[Grief.exe]

Dark Souls isn't a game you put aside because of your backlog.

It's a game that makes your backlog look like shit.

Very accurate.

 

[Cheddahz]

30 fps vs 60 fps

yeah

meh

free is free

 

[Lyonaz]

Voted Spelunky.

So how bad is Lost Planet 3?

 

[drizzle]

Lost Planet 3 for 75% is a good discount, but I'm nowhere near interested in playing that. I want to play Lost Planet 1 first. And then two, maybe... I'll pass.

DmC for 75% is, again, a good price. I'm nowhere near playing it anytime soon, so I'll pass as well.

Van Helsing for 66% pisses me off so much. I'll enforce my 75% rule on this game. Looks like a great game, but this is not a "put in my library for later" price.

Great deals today, specially Dark Souls. Everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY should buy this game.

 

[Gav47]

Come on Capcom, put the Dmc DLC on sale as well, christ.

 

[Oreoleo]

Oh so now we're cool with voting for the super popular game everyone here should already have.

You mean the one that's only been 75% off on Steam one time a month ago? Yes.

 

[NingenJanai]

I voted for Spelunky on my mobile....but it says I voted for Monaco on my pc. Eh?

Same here, voted for spelunky on my pc, but said there was an error and now it shows I voted for Monaco, wtf!

 

[Sullichin]

Does Dark Souls still have GFWL shenanigans going on? Or has that been removed?

Still has GFWL.
