Talking about short games with almost infinite replayability, Long live the Queen is awesome.
Have I mentioned that it is my favourite this sale game so far? finished 4 times already and plan to get back for more.

I want this hopefully it gets a flash or daily. Lots of time left.

 

[ZeroCoin]

I managed to grab a couple Don't Starve from Steam thinking I'd give them away in here, then added something more on top that I grabbed from Humble while picking Volgar for myself and added something else that I had stored away and decided to do a 24 hour raffle to give more people a chance to see and get something. Hope there is something for everyone.

Just got back and saw that I won Just Cause 2. Thanks a ton!

 

[Pops Maellard]

I want this hopefully it gets a flash or daily. Lots of time left.

It's $4.98 on the developers website apparently.

I want this hopefully it gets a flash or daily. Lots of time left.

So, update for Long Live the Queen, the Dark Souls of Princess Makers. It's currently -10% off on Steam, but it's actually -50% on the developer's website and you can get a key to redeem on Steam.

Here's how:

1. Go to this link: http://www.hanakogames.com/llq.shtml#buyit
2. Price still shows up as $9.99? Add it to your cart, it changes to $4.98.
3. Purchase it.
4. To get your Steam key, go to http://nettle.spikycaterpillar.com/ and enter the license code you get.
5. Redeem on Steam.
6. Celebrate with chocolates!

Besides the fact that you don't have to wait for fickle dailies or flash sales, or rely on the community to vote for LLTQ, all the revenue goes to the developer and it costs $0.01 less than it would cost on Steam.

Here you go

Dammit - was all set to buy DmC but didn't make the cut off time for the 12.99 sale. 24.99 is far too expensive for me so I'm going to have to sit it out until next year (?)

 

[Balehead]

Have an extra copy, have fun

Got lucky and won, thank you!

 

[Creamium]

I can't let go of Spelunky, somehow I keep going back. I unlocked the shortcut to the ice world, but the last requirement for the final shortcut is so very cruel

 

[emiranda061288]

Gunpoint and Brothers are both great. I didn't like Dust, for many different reasons. Art, voice acting, type of action, feel of the jumping, none of it grabbed me.

Dust was a nice experiment of the genre but it has many flaws that can't be ignored. It is worth at a discount tough.

Brothers is a great narrative experience and the art direction fits the fairy tale theme nicely, the controls blend with the overall experience... the puzzles are a little simple but I feel like with was on purpose so nobody could get stuck and miss the story.

I have played a lot of that since yesterday. My God, I can't stop dying. I'm killed in an ambush so I take precautions to avoid that next time. This time I triumph only to be poisoned because I didn't put enough points into one area. I am enjoying the game a lot, but I just can't. stop. dying.

 

[Cth]

I thought swapper was at least 5 hours?

Yeah, just wait for the encore.

 

[Turfster]

I thought swapper was at least 5 hours?

Yeah, I spent quite a lot longer than 2-3 hours with the swapper...

 

[garath]

Here you go

Thanks I'll jump on that if it doesn't hit a flash on steam. Would rather use my wallet if possible.

I can't let go of Spelunky, somehow I keep going back. I unlocked the shortcut to the ice world, but the last requirement for the final shortcut is so very cruel

I got so lucky. I was able to do it on my third try.

I got climbing gloves and I found two bomb boxes, so I was able to just bomb my way down the jungle, and with the gloves I could just slide down the side wall all the way to the exit on every ice level.

 

[JaseC]

Snow won! How exciting.

 

[EdmondD]

Has anyone played Contagion? Sorry this is a bit late, but I just installed Windows 8 on my laptop and bought it a while back since I'm a sucker for Zombie stuff

I was going to buy this because I'm also a sucker for zombies or horror games in general but decided not to. I regret not buying it. If I see it go on sale again I am definitely getting it.

 

[darkvir]

Voted KOF... just trying to remember if I bought it already on PS3.

 

[LGom09]

Took me 5 hours to beat it according to Steam.

 

[emiranda061288]

it was on playstation+

 

[dinopoke]

Gunpoint is tempting but that Exclusive Edition is tad pricey.

Has Swapper been on sale yet?

Oh, that's nice. I don't use items nearly enough... I'll try out those gloves. The jungle is what scares me the most, those stages can be way tougher than mines or ice caves.

 

[Ruze789]

Went back to play Aliens VS Predator and managed to finish the Aliens campaign. I started with the Aliens Story because I wanted to get rid of this one really fast (so much motion sickness because you can climb any surface and will confuse you a lot). Started now the Predator one and the last will be the Marines.

As soon as I started the Predator campaign I noticed a decent improvement on the graphics when comparing to Aliens Colonial Marines and this game is much older than CM, it also seems to be vastly superior. Such a shame because the Aliens universe have a great potential for a nice horror experience. I'll be sure to post some impressions after completing the two remaining campaigns in case someone is interested.

Thanks for posting some thoughts on AvP! After passing on ACM when it comes up for $2, I've turned my eye towards AvP 2010 instead. I think I'm just gonna bite soon at $7.49.

 

[Effect]

I have money to spend now from Christmas gifts but there has been nothing I've really been pushed to buy lately with this sale. Kinds sucks because I want to buy something but nothing has grabbed me enough to get me to buy. I've instead been playing older games on my Steam list like Overlord 2 of all things.

 

[Widdly Scuds]

Has Swapper been on sale yet?

It should be 66% off tomorrow

 

[trailmix16]

Brothers has great art direction and settings. but its just so corny, even moreso than gone home. It places sentimentality over player agency, and thats my biggest gripe with it. Sucks that people are overlooking kentucky route zero and the stanley parable. different tastes i guess.

 

[Snakethesniper]

I hate you guys, you always get me interested in some new game...
now I'm curious about that princess maker thing...don't think I'll buy it though, I have spent enough xD
ps: bought Volgarr, great game

 

[Jintor]

Started up brothers. Don't think much of it so far, but gosh is it pretty.

Hilariously I am reminded of Black and White for some reason

Ah Ah. All according to keikaku. Yes it's really great isn't it.

You know I was joking about it being the Dark Souls of Princess Maker because of the number of deaths but my prolonged adventure into the

Old Forest

kinda vindicated even the difficulty. Damn you have to plan almost perfectly to make it out of there alive (and not have something terrible immediately kill you before/after because you were too busy focusing on the needed skills).
Also I'm really bad at strategically saving. Pro tip for everybody starting LLTQ, make savepoints at important junctions...

It was (might still be) the same price on the developer's website and you got a steam key. Only problem is if you have steam credit.

 

[Charles Alan Ratliff]

Almost forgot about the DLC for Saints Row IV. Glossed over the deal since I already own the game and forgot everything for it would be 60% off.

No problem fellow GAFfer. I think I've seen it cheaper every now and then, if your budget is a concern I would advise you to wait. I might post some impressions later on, after completing the other two Stories.

 

[MRORANGE]

Does anyone have a Steam review of Papers, Please? or posted a review?

 

[Hubb]

Would have been better switching out know for won and even better if snow lost. I don't know what I am getting at here.

 

[Servbot #42]

any good small gems that i'm missing? after spending 30 dollars in the dota store i could go for some actual games

 

[Colin.]

Thank you Colin for Sanctum 2! The mix of tower defense and FPS sounded really interesting to me. Can't wait to play!

I finally own Garry's Mod lol. Thanks Colin!

Oh I won Orcs Must Die 2, thanks Colin! The original game looked interesting but I never played it, don't imagine it's the type of game where that matters though.

No worries. Hope you all enjoy!

Finished Brothers. That makes two games in one day.
Great game, visually stunning. Sadly it didn't really emotionally resonate with me. Still some fantastic scenes due to the downright gorgeous world and great music.

 

[GraveHorizon]

This game comes with both games. Get it on GOG, the drm on the Steam version is nasty

Escape From Butcher Bay is the good one. I played it for the first time earlier this year and it still holds up today.

It's the only place to get it DRM free. Escape from Butcher Bay is probably the better of the two, but it's included so why not pull the trigger for that price?

Bought, thanks!

AVP 2010 is pretty fun. It looks and runs great.

I liked it a lot as well. Never quite understood the hate this game gets (even though I never played the original AVP)

What about a quick look? Those usually do a good job of determining whether I purchase a game.

KR0 is deeeeefinitely not overlooked. It was the talk of the town during the summer. It's only natural for the hype to die down months after release.

 

[Alo81]

Oh, that's nice. I don't use items nearly enough... I'll try out those gloves. The jungle is what scares me the most, those stages can be way tougher than mines or ice caves.

The climbing gloves are huuuuuugely useful.

There have been so many close deaths and dead ends I've escaped from with those gloves.

The difficult part of the ice stages is that there isn't a bottom and that everythings slippery. With the gloves it becomes completely trivial.

Every level was "slide down left wall. Go through door." or "Slide down left wall, don't see door. Climb back up and switch sides. Slide down right wall. Go through door."

Basically 0 danger on the ice levels.

The Jungle is a tricky one yeah. There's a lot of instances where you can just get insta-killed.
