It took me several, several tries to get there. Best non-spoiler advice I can give you? Pick a theme and stick to it, and also make sure to work on your social/royal skills (composure, court manners, etc). My Elodie was Sansa Stark + Tywin Lannister-- skilled at dance and diplomacy, but also a military and economic genius.

I went military, faith and athletics way, athletics saved her life once already, but lack of social skills will kill her, I can see it clearly.
I don't mind trying several times, as I'm enjoying it.

How long does it take to beat DLC Quest?

Not that long at all, depending on how much of a completionist you are.

 

[Sarcasm]

Having many issue with steam loading pages. I have a comment can't load. I can't load my inventory (I got a booster pack). =S

 

[Miker]

About to pull the trigger on this:

I know, I'm a bastard who should wait for the daily deals, but it's the lowest it's been for both games ($2.50 each), and Capcom has already pulled games off sale (Lost Planet 2, RE5). I don't see these dropping below 75% off, and hell, when has a Capcom game been more than 75% off anyway?

Am I good to go or should I wait?

 

[freakk5]

Steams dead again noooooooe

 

[SixStringPsycho]

Why is steam dead? is something free today too?

 

[Kaper]

Oh, awesome, thanks for the heads up, i'll look into it

Edit: Is the version bought through the site a steam key, or just a normal download. Its 5 bucks on there right now, and i'm totally willing to bite the bullet on 5 bucks.

Go here to get your steam key if you buy the game: http://nettle.spikycaterpillar.com/

Same here. I have a new item and I can't load my inventory.
Probably a booster (what else could it be?)

Speaking of the Humble Store sales today, I was wondering what people thought about 140? It's 2 bucks on the Humble Store. Looks interesting enough, but wasn't sure if any Gaffers have played it yet.

You might have better luck in the indie thread.

It's the best Autechre music video ever made, super short

Spoiler

though apparently there's a set of "mirror world" stages

and the third boss is a huge dick. I love how everything is connected to the music and each obstacle providing a new layer for you to monitor. For $2 you're getting some pretty great music (if you're into the track that plays during the trailer) and some fun but not particularly difficult platforming.

Done.

I think you're probably good. Doubtful it'll go lower.

 

[Pachimari]

Are The Stanley Parable and Gone Home still on sale?

 

[Caerith]

It had nice stealth discount at the developers site, may be still has, somewhere in this thread there are instructions, search might help

It's still up. I lost the post in this thread, but here's a thread on the community forum about it: http://steamcommunity.com/app/251990/discussions/0/648814842861479703/

How long does it take to beat DLC Quest?

If you're being thorough with DLC Quest and its DLC, an hour. There are hidden achievements for speedrunning both campaigns in like 12 minutes each, but you pretty much have to ignore everything to do those.

I went military, faith and athletics way, athletics saved her life once already, but lack of social skills will kill her, I can see it clearly.
I don't mind trying several times, as I'm enjoying it.

Having high enough social skills also lets you find out that... oh, I'll let you figure that one out on your own.

Spoiler

It leads to an interesting marriage.

Yes, our suffering.

anyone having login problems?

How long does it take to beat DLC Quest?

Took me 90~ mins according to steam, I don't bother achievement chasing to fill out some arbitrary list of tasks though.

And thanks to Wok for Solar 2.

stanley is only 25% off right now, I'm hoping it goes on a bigger discount as well again

It's highly doubtful they will see a better deal with that, especially when it comes to Capcom.
However you should buy them individually rather than a bundle. Save a penny, those add up over time you know.

Should I open booster packs?

 

[Drkirby]

I was thinking about buying Lost Planet 1, any significant single player content I would be missing out on by getting the normal release instead of Colonies?

 

[Turfster]

How is TAGES on Anno 2070? I can live with UPlay.

It's great! (They claim they've changed it so it doesn't do this anymore)
(and this doesn't even mention the fucked windows installations and other problems)

 

[Arthea]

How long does it take to beat DLC Quest?

about 2 hours, another little game I enjoyed a lot, have fun.

Should I open booster packs?

I open them, always, hoping for foil, never had one from booster pack! but I persist.

 

[Blue Ninja]

I think I'm gonna call it quits this sale. Have pretty much everything I wanted, and then some, while only spending around €20. I still want stuff like the Stanley Parable, but I think I have enough games to last me until it goes on sale the next time.

 

[Miker]

You're good.

I think you're probably good. Doubtful it'll go lower.

Okay, gonna buy it now (separately!), but you guys owe me the difference if they go on sale for cheaper

 

[Wookieomg]

Just won Project Freedom from Wookieomg. Thanks a lot dude.

I just took a quick look at the screenshots and it looks like a sweet space shooter, can't wait to give it a shot.

No problem! Cheers!

 

[Gunstarheroes]

Go here to get your steam key if you buy the game: http://nettle.spikycaterpillar.com/

Yep, i went for it. I doubt it will be less then 5 bucks even on Steam, so i'm striking while the iron is hot.

 

[Prophane33]

Should I open booster packs?

No.

 

[dream]

Bit Trip Runner 2 is the best game I've ever played in my life.

 

[Divius]

Much thanks to afternoon delight for Half-life.

I feel ashamed I didn't have it in my library yet.

 

[tylergregg]

Please vote for Spelunky, thank you.

 

[throwawayname]

Thank you GuardianE!

 

[Divius]

Should I open booster packs?

Depends on the game. Check what individual cards sell for, check what the boosterpack sells for. Maybe you'll get a foil. Who knows.

 

[Peachpies]

thank you to Seagoon for the bards tale

 

[ArynCrinn]

Volgarr needs to go on sale seriously, got about 5 copies to gift. Dustforce's discount absence is weird too.

 

[kutthoat5150]

is Spelunky as addictive as hotline miami or FTL because those are some of the only games in my library which I keep coming back to

 

[grosvenor_92]

Ubisoft doesn't give a shit about optimization.

I didn't run into many issues while playing Far Cry 3

 

[isny]

All of the Command and Conquer games for $5 on Amazon. Optimized for Windows 7? Yes please! Wait...I have to use Origin...ack!

 

[Chocobro]

Should I open booster packs?

Might be a good idea to check the prices of the individual cards and the price of the booster pack. I personally don't have too much time to do that so I just sell the booster pack instead of opening them.

EDIT: Basically what Divius said.

 

[Dipper145]

I was at work and asked my friend what I missed on sale, mentioned that I was hoping van helsing was on sale (as it was the last game I REALLY wanted badly) and turns out it was! And then he bought it for me! So happy!

[Haunted]

I love Trials a ton while recognizing what a bad port it is and how uplay ruins what's left.

Still love it, but man. Tragic.

:/ agree.

 

[corrosivefrost]

My first giveaway. Good luck guys.

Nice titles to start with. Gone Home will be popular.

Cheers to your charitable nature!

Coming in a bit late to this one - have I already missed Sleeping Dogs?

I still have 2 unclaimed copies of Bad Rats. I guess I need to do another giveaway soon.
