Awesome dark souls giveaway

 

[~Kinggi~]

I loudly declared that I was done buying games until spring break.... And then MGS V went on sale everywhere.

Kojima is so based for marking it down day 1. He knows how big of suckers we are for steam sales.

They are making a small fortune i am sure this here day.

 

[Lomax]

I know the general rule is to wait for a daily, but a few of the Marvel Heroes DLC is tempting at 50% off. I don't think those have ever been included in a daily have they?

Yeah, f2p games sometimes get dailies, especially popular ones like Marvel Heroes, it's worth waiting unless you really really want it right now.

 

[ZeroCDR]

Nothing for me today, glad they revamped the voting to once per day!

 

[kd-z]

OK, I've not bought anything yet, though my wishlist this year is rather short. Off the top of my head I can think of NEO Scavenger, Door Kickers, Baldur's Gate II Enhanced Edition aaaand probably a lot of stuff I'm forgetting. A lot of indie games I didn't have time to play nor buy were released this year!

 

[Hugstable]

Aw you changed your avatar from Sakura Chiyo. Miss playing with you dude. I know I say that all the time about you and Phoenix but I mean it every time !!

Heya Kano. I'm finally on break. Message me on steam and I'll find the time to play!

loool everyone likes different avatars of mine! I gotta find away to make Chiyo more in the spirit of Christmas like my Fuukatar. And I'll definitely be down to play some CS with both of ya come around monday or so, I'm gonna be heading outta town for the weekend later, but I'll be back on sunday. Haven't played CS in so long, I'm gonna suck

 

[alr1ght]

Thanks guys. I will probably try MGS2 first then.

Make sure you play the main games in order.

How does Dark Souls 2 control with a mouse and keyboard? Don't really like 3rd person games with one but I don't have a controller for PC games. Any recommendations for one as well?

I can't say about two, but I played through 1 quite easily with mouse and keyboard.

 

[Kanokare]

Is it against the rules to host giveaways in more than one thread? I'll stick to the community thread if that's the case.

Don't think there's a problem with that. Only if you have rules like NOLURKER since Modbot will get the 5 posts from this topic.

Heya Kano. I'm finally on break. Message me on steam and I'll find the time to play!

Sweet! I'm off and on right now but night times or weekends. I'll check to see if you're online whenever I can as well

Haha I like the avatar. I just like Sakura cause Nozaki-kun was too good.

Yeah what's up with that?

The flash deals every 8 hours had me constantly checking steam and more likely to make purchases.

Seems like a silly decision.

 

[Im a Manatee]

Hopefully the combined forces of Kojima and Kamiya can finally get it across to Japanese devs that PC matters and should get a little effort.

 

[Blitzhex]

Lili http://store.steampowered.com/app/266490 has a steep discount and looks fun. I would buy it just for the graphics.

Thanks, bought.

Edit:
Wait, it's not a daily. Doubtful it'll be on a daily, tho. Still bought. Really cheap anyway.

No more getting up at some random time to check the flash deal

Given the community's seemingly willful going in the opposite of whatever I picked, I can't be assed too much, lol.

 

[Lagamorph]

Wasn't the MGS V engine designed with PC in mind?

 

[Blitzhex]

Thanks, bought.

From what I've seen, games with 80%+ discounts don't get daily or flash deals. I could be wrong though.

 

[RandomSeed]

Didn't Dark Souls already got rid of Live? Why is it saying I'm offline?

It's under properties/beta "dsptde-2.0-"

 

[Kanokare]

Sorry, GuardianE. MG Raiden is just a little bit better Love DMC4 though

I never seemed to have any trouble with catching all the votes.

But then I do have children that get me up at the crack of dawn without fail...

 

[Panda Rin]

No more getting up at some random time to check the flash deal

and less time spent feeling disappointed in the community's choices!

 

[LGom09]

Dark Souls II now or wait for the remaster. Decisions...

 

[Corpekata]

I'd wait for the remaster since we don't know if Namco is going to offer any sort of sensible upgrade path.

 

[Snuggles]

State of Decay is interesting so far.

To those who have played the DLC: am I missing out on anything by bypassing the vanilla game and just playing Breakdown if I don't care about story missions? I just wanna play in the sandbox.

 

[bounchfx]

has Ikaruga ever been on sale?

I'm hoping for good sales on Rayman Legends or Geo Wars 3.

and I soooo want FC4 but only if it drops to be ~$30. Too many other games to play to justify spending more than that at this time.

 

[LGom09]

True. I should probably play Demon's Souls first anyway.

has Ikaruga ever been on sale?

It was $5 in the summer sale I think. Don't think it's ever been a daily or a flash sale though.

 

[TheBear]

Why do the cost of booster packs fluctuate? Some are 400, 600, 1200 gems.
Is the cost the same for everyone or does it take into account cards you already have?

Does the game continue while you're not playing if you play sandbox?

 

[sfried]

Oh God...just tried out MGSV:GS and put settings to very high. Um...brb. (I might have to post on the other thread instead, since I'm an AMD card user.)

 

[Blitzhex]

Hope game of thrones gets at least a 30% discount.

If you don't care, enjoy the Breakdown sandbox. Fun shit.

Story's still kinda worth it I feel, but Breakdown gives you a lot of fun.

Based on how many cards there are on card set. So more cards -> cheaper boosters. (Boosters are always 3, so boosters for games with 5 cards are worth more than game with 15 cards)

So it's same for everyone.

 

[Kageshinzo]

I'll probably just get the badge again this holiday sale. Damn backlogs.

 

[bounchfx]

okay i'm not sure how I missed seeing MGS Ground Zeroes on sale.... FFFFFF. The temptation is too strong.. ugh. Is the PC port well made?

 

[waby]

Its the time to spam Steam Sale Thread!

With cards? Bad rats is free money.

What are they? I literally only have pennies this year due to cremating my dad last week. But if its pennies I can do it. I like making people happy!

Like what? I'm picking up every super cheap game I can find.

Each individual game in this is a bona fide PC classic and $0.79 http://store.steampowered.com/sub/4156/


And my personal favourite cheap game that I put well over 1000 hours into in college
http://store.steampowered.com/app/281280/

I guarantee each of these is a million times better than a joke gift, they're actually good games.

I would mention FTL: Faster Than Light, one of the best games I've played in recent years, but its $4.99. Was in dollar bundles before though.

 

[KojiKnight]

So I just sold all of my stockpiles of cards and my last remaining sellable TF2 items and I'm sitting at just under $5 (4.96, though it'll likely be up to 5.30 soon), any good suggestions so far from the sale?

(edit) Wow sweet, nice list just above my post even!

 

[bounchfx]

[General_Frags]

Still no Ass Creed Unity or Far Cry 4 in the UK, am disappoint.

Didn't Ubi stealth release Ass Creed 3 and Far Cry 3 in sale years ago in the UK?

 

[Salsa]

- bought game for giveaway

- remembered the new region stuff

- gave it to a IRL friend that doesnt really use steam that much and has like 5 games (thinking maybe he'll start)

I suspect this will start happening to other people too

Why do the cost of booster packs fluctuate? Some are 400, 600, 1200 gems.
Is the cost the same for everyone or does it take into account cards you already have?

The cost of a booster is 6000 divided by the number of cards in the set. So sets with 5 cards cost 1200 and sets with 15 cards cost 400 and everything in between. This cost has no impact on the gem value of the cards or backgrounds/emoticons. And background/emoticon gem value is not impacted by rarity, it by game and the same for all items from that game.

From what I've seen, games with 80%+ discounts don't get daily or flash deals. I could be wrong though.

It has happened, but it is very rare, and the change in price is usually so little that you wouldn't really care.

 

[LGom09]

Astebreed is 70% off. Haven't played it myself, but I've heard good things.

Arrgh that sucks Salsa!

Such a bummer that Valve felt the need to restrict all the regions.

 

[subtleglitch]

Ooh yeah, I missed these threads. Feels good to be back. Can't wait to throw my money at these sales. Definitely grabbing Ground Zeroes!
