Psst, this is the steam sales thread. You and a couple others gave your PS+ p.s.a.'s. Time to let it go and move on.
Just bought Brothers and Dust. Happy happy joy joy

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
Dust is great. Beautifull Metroidvania (we really need to find another term for the genre) with an absolutely awesome combat system. Animations are incredible. Great atmosphere as well. Story is a whole lot darker then expected, though.
Buy it.
Buy it.
Nasty.

Seems like previous sale items... with the price cranked up 5 bucks
Although I got fun use out of it last year when Hotline Miami had it's price error and you could get it for free with the coupon.
I think you're the first person to ask without trying to belittle everyone while doing so. Points for you.
Dang, Brothers flew up to no.2 on the charts, good for it.

I spent enough this sale, but almost nothing from Steam (Superhexagon by selling cards, MGR, and The Wolf Among Us by buying 6 TF keys), for me Amazon stole (again) its thunder.

Mass Effect 2 was on sale yesterday? That's been on the top of my wishlist for a long time, and I've been waiting for it to drop lower then $10.
I would defiantly recommend playing it with a dual stick controller.

Mass Effect 2 is tomorrow, Day 11.
You're in luck because that's tomorrow.
That sale is upcoming.
So far I've been able to hold the leash on my money.
About a year ago I had the following guideline:
- don't buy games over 15 euro
Then it turned to the following because there were too many games dropping under 15 euro so fast:
- don't buy games over 10 euro
Now that has also been pretty easy to fulfill so now I following this one:
- only buy games when they are under 10 euro AND they are -70 or -75%. Preferably try also to go under 5 euro but that's optional.
So far only bought these:
I have yet around 70 games in my wishlist though... http://steamcommunity.com/id/Asgaro/wishlist
But only 50 are in the "buying zone": around 20 are Early Access and I don't see the need to buy those yet. By the time a game is actually finished you are probably already bored with it.
I'm around 80% completion of my backlog. Around 15 games to complete.
I hope I will have them finished before the Steam Summer Sale starts.
Imaginary champagne will be popped.

if i didn't already have basically everything today I'd say it's actually a pretty decent day. i second everyone saying Dust is awesome.
I'm kind of interested in SNOW, I used to love Cool Boarders 1 & 2, loved a few of the SSXs, and I've only every skied/snowboarded like twice in my life, but I love the videogame versions

Day 11. Tomorrow (if the list is to be believed)
Dumbest comment I've read this month. That's like saying if you want to manage a restaurant go work for one instead of playing Cook, Serve, Delicious.
uh? No, it's going to be on sale tomorrow.

wow what a horrible list, hopefully they add something decent to use this $5 with
The game is very narrative focused.
Expect a lot of feels.
Oh and use a controller, it's a must.
Rage seemed kind of short to me (don't mean that as a negative) and I loved it contrary to what feels like everyone else in the world thought. Then again I had it running pretty great almost right away when a lot of people had LOTS of problems performance-wise.
it will be on sale in 1 or 2 days on steam

Whoops, I was reading the list the wrong way.
"Why do people play FIFA, just go outside and play real football."
Hmm... Miasmata maybe?
I haven't played it though so maybe another gaffer could tell if it's what you're looking for.

first time doing this, hopefully I didn't mess it up. Ha
Thanks, nbraun80 for Don't Starve. Winner out of 41. Will count my blessings (and play the game).

So I was reading the 'Best Games of the Generation That No One Played' thread and saw a couple of awesome JRPGs from Sega.
These came out before they started their big push for the platform, but I would love to see both Valkyria Chronicles and Resonance of Fate on PC.
What can we do to get these two releases on PC? Who do we have to bother at Sega for all of these and Bayonetta, Vanquish, etc?
Valkyria Chronicles

I'm sold. I watched the trailer, saw your GIFs and read GAFs positive input on the game.
Getting it together with Brothers.
Yes, Brothers! Very curious to see how the game plays. I've got about 10 left on my account. Now every purchase has to be well-considered heh. Shelter looks interesting, too, but the video I've watched... to see your little baby badger taken away by a bird of prey - no I couldn't deal with such a loss.
Don't worry, it was $10. ($9.99 actually)
If you don't care about STEAMZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzz you can probably get the Trilogy for $15 total (So like... $5 each) on Origin sometime.

kinda bummed final exam online has no players. its a fun game, good mechanics, speedrun and scoring potential, but playing alone is kinda lame.
Why do people play dark souls? They should go outside and kill everything that moves.

Not sure why everyone is so hyped about King of Fighters; I live and breathe fighting games but it and Mortal Kombat are literally the only titles I have no interest in. Played about four hours of KOFXIII at a friends a few weeks ago, and couldn't get into it at all.

Dust looks nice, I'm still mulling over whether to get it or not but I think I'm mostly done for now. Might get Game Dev Tycoon when it hits it's sale day, though (12th day I think?)
Torchlight II is ick, in my opinion. It was fun to watch how fast it went from this supposed savior to completely being forgotten once people actually tried it.
Path of Exile until Reaper of Souls is the way to go, I feel!
