In other news I finished Remember Me and here are my impressions.

Gameplay - Automatic platforming with some room for mistakes in 1 or 2 areas. The combat system is simplistic despite the build a combo feature since its limited in terms of combos. The enemies are interesting and fun to fight with. The few bosses the game has are decent but nothing special. Memory mixing is pretty much for 4-5 scenes and nothing else which I wished had more moments to it.

Story - Interesting world, setting and plot. Overall it's solid and you keep playing to know what happens next.

Final Thoughts - The game despite the shortcomings of length,simplicity of the combat and replay value the game managed to kept me entertained from start to finish. I might play it again to get anything I missed but all in all a fun game.

This is a game that I wish was an Adventure title, rather than trying to grab those interested in more games like Arkham Asylum. A full game of the Memory Mixing as it's puzzle mechanic tied into the story with more options, variety, and possible outcomes would truly be an amazing game with what the mechanics have in potential.

Even if they need some action in it, something more along the lines of Dreamfall would have suited it far better.

Personally I'm getting close to the 1,500 mark and will most likely be there by the end of the sale:

Ah,I knew there was a group I forgot to join. Just did so.

I'm playing BROTHERS


:')

Good for you brother. I would stay and chat, but time for me to leave for the day.

 

[hohoXD123]

Hmm, if that leaked list is legit, Alan Wake would be tempting at 90% off. Worth getting?

 

[The Red Wizard]

i have those but i tried hitman 1 and silent assassin as a kid (couldn't understand/get into it) and they were just blah.

So try them again now as an adult. I'm not alone in saying that they're incredible and much better than Absolution.

 

[Mechazawa]

Meh, doesn't hurt to wait until the last day.

I know, but the crying gifs dawg.

Maybe I should stop reading too much into Steam sale hyperbole.

Maybe I should stop reading too much into Steam sale hyperbole.

Yeah probably.

Hmm, if that leaked list is legit, Alan Wake would be tempting at 90% off. Worth getting?

Of course. I played through it twice.

 

[Eanan]

I'm pretty sure a friend of mine got his there (he said it was from a Brazilian site) and couldn't use it in the US after the beta was over.

scratch that, just bought it using FlyVPN for a brazillan IP and activated it fine.

Currently downloading. FM 2014 for €6! Score. Been waiting for this price point for a while. Won't need to upgrade now until FM 2016!

 

[Grief.exe]

Wow. I forgot to add Brothers to my wishlist! That mistake has been alleviated.

Added Rust as well. Looks like an interesting take on DayZ and Minecraft.

Yes. There are some legitimate complaints about the game, but I thoroughly enjoyed my experience.

Awesome dude, glad to see that worked out fine.

 

[DunderHassan]

All right, I'm pretty bored and have a spare SpeedRunners sitting in my inventory.
Was thinking to simply give it away here but... nah... let's make this a bit interesting, gonna have a small competition.

First 3 entrants get to play a game of 8 matches (all levels) up against me.
1st place = 4p, 2nd place = 3p etc.
The best of the three gets a free Speedrunners gift to do whatever he/she pleases with it.
If you come 1st (ie. beats the Dunder of Speed), you will get another free gift, whatever it may be (haven't decided yet).

 

[Madrugador]

From what I can tell they are all cosmetic or just add a few extra guns. No new playable content.

My wallet is safe

Spoiler

for now.

 

[Rhaknar]

SURELY Brothers is in the missing day 10...or 13...or something right? >_<

some really amazing giveaways :O

Nice one, have fun with it. They did a very good job with this year's iteration. I've sunk way too much time into it already.

I agree with you. The Memory Mixing parts were super fun and they were underutilized. If they used Dreamfall or maybe even The Walking Dead style of adventure game it would have GOTY for me. Hopefully someone laters picks up the idea and uses it better.

 

[Coldsun]

So, I'm debating between picking up Starbound or AC:Black Flag?

Also, is Assassins Creed 3 worth picking up for 7.49?

 

[Grief.exe]

Thanks. Here I was thinking I was finished with this sale...

This is a serious problem with the PC gaming indie scene. The 'must-have' purchases just keep piling up at a ridiculous rate.

Black Flag steam key for 35 buckaroonies on amazon btw

Black Flag steam key for 35 buckaroonies on amazon btw

Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately I'd be spending steam gift cards and a lil out of pocket. However I guess the 20 bucks of steamcash would only give me the amazon price on steam.. so maybe I should just suck it up and buy it from amazon .

 

[Derrick01]

I just noticed I have dota 2 items that I can sell now. Valve must have made some of the international stuff sell-able sometime in the last few months because I tried to offload them then and couldn't. More money for sales

 

[liezryou]

Black Flag steam key for 35 buckaroonies on amazon btw

25$ from iheo on b/s/t thread.

 

[Jenks]

Going up the attic/loft to get my arcade stick to play Volgarr as im guessing its the best way to play it.
Also just got D&D Chronicles of Mystara another game to use stick with

 

[DXLelouch153]

[Turfster]

Man, so many Don't Starve giveaways. Guess there was a price error, huh?

 

[derExperte]

Impossible to say as it's the first time cards will disappear.

 

[Vazra]

Correct. It was 1.16 I believe with a 92% off

 

[kris.]

Also, is Assassins Creed 3 worth picking up for 7.49?

no, not really. skip it and go straight to ACIV.

 

[Turfster]

Correct. It was 1.16 I believe with a 92% off

Nice.
Bought it when it was... much more than that, don't regret the purchase

 

[DXLelouch153]

1.19

 

[Eanan]

Awesome dude, glad to see that worked out fine.

was alot easier than I expected. Flyvpn is a very good program, connects to brazil VPN instantly.

Nice one, have fun with it. They did a very good job with this year's iteration. I've sunk way too much time into it already.

Yeah last one I had was FM 12 and sunk over 100hrs into it :O

Need a football manager fix though.

Time spent on Football Manager isnt time wasted

Just need to find some good logo/face/kit packs now.

A SEGA Saturn USB Classic Controller is actually the best way to play it, but an arcade stick is more than suitable and fun.

 

[BraXzy]

You have a serious problem.

Thank you Dusk, this makes me feel slightly better about the dent in my wallet that Steam has made.

 

[KarmaCow]

Probably the last day. Tons of people selling trying to make some money rather than nothing, just like TF2 seasonal crates.

 

[Vazra]

1.19

Oh not too far

 

[Coldsun]

25$ from iheo on b/s/t thread.

Added him on Steam, perhaps I'll be picking up both

 

[Cody_D165]

Any of you SteamGAF folk use a Wii U Pro Controller with PC games? I've heard good things about the Mayflash adapter and am considering picking one up. Wondered if anyone here had opinions since the thread for it is essentially dead.

 

[NaM]

Probably the last day. Tons of people selling trying to make some money rather than nothing, just like TF2 seasonal crates.

That's my bet.

 

[walkmetothelake]

Saw Resident Evil 6 up for the daily sale today and got excited hoping 5 was finally down from $20 but nope. Finally grabbed Revelations though!

 

[dream]

jesus mf christ, i was not prepared for this Volgarr game.

 

[Alex]

Added him on Steam, perhaps I'll be picking up both

I bought two things from him, nice guy.

 

[zkylon]

well bought ac3 without the dlc

I figure there's enough padding in the main game to last me a lifetime

 

[JawesomeJaw]

25$ from iheo on b/s/t thread.

I know the preorders were region locked at one point, and I thought the full game was too.

 

[Gvaz]

shit i want ac3 because that's next after i finally finish ACR but I don't have $15 until like the 6th

 

[drizzle]

YAY!

Ass Crack franchise has FINALLY got the daily deal update.

-75%
£14.99
£3.74

That's Great. I found it weird that it didn't before.

Anyway, I still have to play Assassin's Creed 2, so nothing for me

Ok, so I have been away from the house over the holidays and also working pretty much the whole time, and managed to miss the fact that endless space was on sale.

GAF, any way any of you know someone or somewhere selling it for the sale price or cheaper still? I REALLY want it.

I also posted in the Buy/Trade/Sell thread, but thought i'd ask all you fine folks here as well.

Thanks, and Merry New Years!

Its historical low price (according to Enhanced Steam) was £6.24.. It is currently £8.49 in the sale so it isn't too different in price. That's the lowest anywhere right now.
