What the fuck is this? I can't access my inventory because it is private. Steam is hiding my own profile.

What is with this?

You need to login?

 

[KenOD]

has or will Sonic Racing All Star Transformed dropped lower than $9.99? How does the PC version stack up against Wii U version?

It's been on sale numerous times, from $4.99 to $6.99 most often across various stores including Steam. Amazon will have it for $4.99 on the 1st of January.

You can also try to win it in my giveaway, which has an hour to go. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=95234293&postcount=15702

As for comparisons between versions, they are nearly identically outside of a few fixes to one course (Race of Ages) being smoother online for Wii U.

 

[Zushin]

Is Fall of Cybertron locked to 30 FPS like War? Was annoying to use the fps unlocker on the first. Oh yeah and is the game any good?

 

[Camel Master]

$55.00 spent. Still don't have a gaming pc. Really need to build one of those one of these days.

You're gonna be one happy person after you build it. It just makes everything better experience.

 

[nbraun80]

Everyone should own Legend of Dungeon at that price.

Eh just got it the other day fr Thessaly price from humble, and I'm not a big fan. Had no idea what the point of the tavern was and all the different levels I went through looked the same, had no idea if I've been there before or not. Maybe I'll give it another chance, but for now I'm just idling for the cards.

 

[Dice]

I always get from multiple stores so I can't use the Steam counter. But let's see...

Quote to reveal 18 items totaling $64.35

Fuck. This is how it happens. There is also a handful of GOG games. Looking at that, I can't be picking up Age of Empires Legacy Bundle like I was considering. The reason it's bad is because I haven't played games on PC since September, yet I have been playing my 3DS every day since I got it on the 5th. Somehow I maintained my PC game buying habit without the playing habit, ahh! New Years Resolution: No PC buying games? Maybe I should think of 3 that are allowed and 2 more that might come out that would be allowed...

I was in this position about a year ago. The games were so cheap that I had about 60 once my PC was actually built.

 

[Marauder Shields]

Just bought Alan Wake even though I have no idea what it is or whether I will ever play it. How can I say no to 90% off?

Digital Foundry have done a good write-up and video.

In terms of characters, PC has more, but is of course missing the Mii from the Wii U version.

 

[crazyrabbits]

[corrosivefrost]

I might pick up Rising if it appears again.

You didn't preorder it before?
Shame on you.
Personally, my 2013 GOTY.

It has been $5 before. PC version is excellent.

Mostly. Except for the weird shit that happens when you race online with Dunder. :lol

Crazy that Activision can discount Transformers heavy but can't throw a bone for the old Call of Duty titles.

Indeed. I won't pay more than $20 for Ghosts and I won't pay more than $10-$15 for older games... and yet, I've never seen them on sale for these prices. It's a shame. The Mac version of Blops was on sale over at Get Games, but that does me no good.

it isn't crazy, it is smart. COD sells a lot more than Transformers.

Not really. The amount of impulse buys they would get during one of these sales would be staggering, especially for older titles that people aren't going to pay anywhere near full price for anymore.

$55.00 spent. Still don't have a gaming pc. Really need to build one of those one of these days.

Best thing I did this year, gaming wise.
Now I game on PC or Vita. My PS3 is collecting dust with my 360 (but not as much so).
I can now play all the games I have amassed over the years during these sales and it is wonderous.

Do it. Best thing I have ever done

Indeed.

Yes, apparently it is bad form to pay less through trades and other stores than use the Steam Store like the ignorant as demonstrated previously.

 

[Mr. X]

Hows the PC version of Beyond Good & Evil?

 

[Myshkin]

$55.54

Hah. $35.39. Such discipline.

 

[scitek]

Holy shit does anyone know of an easy way to raise the FOV in remember me? This is killing my eyes.

In your SteamApps\common\Remember Me\Engine\Config folder, add this to the BaseInput.ini under General Bindings

Bindings=(Name="NumPadTwo",Command="FOV 90")

Change the number to whatever you want, then hit numpad 2. Word of warning, it messes up the in-game UI (the JUMP HERE arrows and such).

 

[jshackles]

GAF, what do you think?

This?

Or this?

 

[Turfster]

Definitely the first.

 

[C00kie M0nster]

I'm extremely afraid of how much I spent. I can't wait for January 3rd... Granted I only go on a PC gaming binge during Steam sales but it's bad when I do.

Spoiler

Like $300+ bad...

 

[yoshizzle]

Speaking of Amazon, will they match Flash sales?

I might be wrong, but I believe they've only been matching dailies. I don't think they usually match flash/community deals.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

GAF, what do you think?

The first!

 

[emiranda061288]

GAF, what do you think?

I'm sure they already have a feature to search the market for missing cards.

 

[flaxknuckles]

I see Fall of Cybertron was $3 less of Gamefly 14 days ago. I kinda wanna wait to see if they'll post that deal again, but this game very rarely goes on sale so I'm itching to full the trigger on the Steam deal.

 

[DocSeuss]

I hope Wrack wins. I've got just enough Steam money to buy it. Wish I had more cash.

GAF, what do you think?

If the first does the same as the second, then I'm definitely liking the first more.

 

[WhiskeyDiver]

I think on January 1st, I'll go on a snow globe card purchasing tangent just cause. They should be down to around 10 cents by then if the trend continues. It's surprising that they're still in the at least 15 cents a piece range. Usually, with tens of thousands of the same card on the market, the price usually plummets to the 6 to 8 cent range.

 

[firehawk12]

Wow, Transformers?? Is this like Marvel vs Capcom? A firesale before the license lapses?

 

[Gunstarheroes]

So, i haven't really seen any, but is Legend Of Dungeon worth the price?

 

[skullmuffins]

GAF, what do you think?

First.

Also, I know I use a red-headed stepchild of a browser, but are there any plans to update the Opera version of Enhanced Steam? Tbh, I was pleasantly surprised a version existed at all, so don't take this as a complaint

 

[Terra]

Oh no...so I think that I missed out on State of Decay . It's currently only 33% off.
Is there a chance that it will be a flash sale once more this time?

 

[Radio]

GAF, what do you think?

First is easier on the eyes.

 

[Ragnarsson]

Damage so far:

- Gone Home
- Final Fantasy VIII
- La-Mulana
- Guacamelee! Gold Edition
- Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons
- Spec-Ops The Line
- Deadlight
- The Stanley Parable

I'm pretty happy with these sales, gotta say.

Give in. I used Opera for like 10 years (maybe more), but last month I finally gave up and moved to firefox. Couldn't be happier.

The last day is a recap, so... maybe!

Thinking about Dark Souls but I'm already useless at video games, do I really want to play a game that's going to make that even more apparent?

Currently stuck on the first crate box level of "Flyn" of all things D:

You will either ascend to godhood or take your own life. Probably the latter once you hit Anor Londo.

[Dice]

Yes, apparently it is bad form to pay less through trades and other stores than use the Steam Store like the ignorant as demonstrated previously.

Is it bad form to say you won't get something then get it anyway? That's what I just did. I think I'm gonna roll with that resolution. 2014 is year of 3DS or actually playing PC backlog.

 

[gabbo]

Stanley Parable
Metro Last Light
Sanctum 2 (great fun with coop)

GoG
Re-volt
Wing Commander Collection

Humble
Outlast
Guacamelee
Paper's Please

GamersGate

Gifts:
Dishonored DLC
Ducktales

edit: Spent waaaaay more than I wanted, and it's still only like 50 bucks

 

[Archaix]

Just finished Risk of Rain for the first time. Very fun game, I'll definitely go back again. Not sure how much is left to unlock, I still have less than half of the classes so I'm sure there's a bit to go back for. That soundtrack stays amazing the entire way through.

 

[TriangleOfCorruption]

Being addicted to Spelunky and Risk of Rain at the same time is very bad for my state of mind.

 

[LGom09]

Aside from fighting games, what are some good games on Steam to play with a fightstick? Already have Jamestown which feels great on it.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Does the amazon 5USD voucher require you to buy something more than 5USD?

No

 

[skullmuffins]

Give in. I used Opera for like 10 years (maybe more), but last month I finally gave up and moved to firefox. Couldn't be happier.

Noooooooo. I'm another decade-long opera user. I have FF/Chrome/IE (blech) installed mainly to test if things work properly in various browsers. Definitely not ready to make the switch. I'm a little bit of an Opera fangirl.

 

[hitmon]

Anybody have impressions on Outlast? I got it mixed up with another game, but after watching the trailer it looks pretty good. Wondering how long and difficult it is.

 

[toddhunter]

Very easy once you work out how to exploit the AI (or lack thereof). You'll see the lot in 5 hours but it is a decent enough ride.

 

[mannerbot]

Aside from fighting games, what are some good games on Steam to play with a fightstick? Already have Jamestown which feels great on it.

Obvious suggestions would be arcade games like Pac-Man CE DX+, any shmup, beat-em-ups like D&D: Chronicles of Mystara or Castle Crashers, any platformer that doesn't require too many buttons.

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

Does Dark Souls still have GFW?

Also was X-COM a daily or flash yet? I'm looking to buy the stupid cosmetic DLC, but only if it's unbelievably cheap.

 

[Boss Doggie]

No

Hooray!

...

I just hope they have 5USD worth games during Jan 5.
