So two day encore means no more new dailies? So I'm safe to get Baldur's Gate even though it hasn't been a daily?

 

[Chucker]

That's tough, I like both but they're so different. Isaac has more replay value IMO, but I really like the gameplay and music in SK.

Personally I'd go SK.

 

[Lazulic]

Possible final haul, with about 40 steambuks left to spend. If anyone has some neat smaller games to recommend, I would be down to give it a look. I'll be scouring the hidden deals thread until then.

Game just got removed from steam

woah, woah, wtf? Why?!

This was actually one of the best Alien games. Fuckton more playable than Colonial Marines!

I'm seriously baffled!

Edit:
CM was removed too. I don't understand. Why remove things post release? Sure, licenses may expire, but that should have no effect on items that were made during that period of license. This is the fucking downfall of Digital Content Distribution. If this is going to be a more common occurrence, I may need to reevaluate how I spend my money, and to whom it goes to.

[Sajjaja]

Hmmmm. Shadowrun Online is £5 on bundlestars. Worth it?

Steam reviews say it's shit.

 

[shockdude]

Purchased:
Metal Gear Rising
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit - probably my favorite pickup from this sale.
Super Meat Boy

Crimzon Clover

Won through Modbot:
Worms Reloaded (thanks scokem!)
Devil May Cry 4 (thanks GuardianE!)

Not bad.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

I have a question about NaissanceE. Does it have puzzles (ala Antichamber, QUBE) or is it just exploration ? I'm deciding between that and The Swapper.

 

[MichaelFassbender]

I'd get it and play it on mute, but I really like the game.
Oh dear, my bias is showing.

Welpth, you've convinced me. It's on your head if this game is a gigantic slog or not.

ARE YOU READY FOR THIS RESPONSIBILITY?!?!?!?

 

[Widdly Scuds]

Shovel Knight or Binding of Isaac Rebirth?

both great games but rebrith will give you 100+ of gameplay where shovel knight wont

 

[Lulubop]

The South Park game is really easy, right?

 

[Lazulic]

Crimzon Clover
La-Mulana

Mulana has been on my wishlist for a while, consider both of them picked up.
Also got the DMC bundle. Hope the PC versions are decent.

 

[PixyJunket]

I have three extra Holiday 2014 cards, Sparkles, Tender and Zippy.

I will trade 1:1 for any non-Holiday card except um, anything Double Fine, McPixel or.. Retro City Rampage?

Or maybe any card, I just need to get rid of them.

Send me an offer:
https://steamcommunity.com/tradeoffer/new/?partner=30349029&token=GCN6esIR

 

[Lazulic]

Also here are cards I don't want.
Blase x4
Clementine x3
Zippy x2
Tender x2
Itsy x1

If anybody needs any of them just ask, though try not to be greedy.

 

[FoneBone]

Also got the DMC bundle. Hope the PC versions are decent.

DMC4 is considered a great port; DMC3 is... not. There are fan patches for that, though.

 

[Chucker]

Welpth, you've convinced me. It's on your head if this game is a gigantic slog or not.

ARE YOU READY FOR THIS RESPONSIBILITY?!?!?!?

This is the fate I've been given.

 

[Ladekabel]

Seems like the sale is over for me. Would buy Shovel Knight if it wouldn't be on sale on the eShop this week for 9,99€.

 

[uncredited male]

The South Park game is really easy, right?

That is generally considered true yes. You could play on the highest difficultity setting.

[A Sentient Keyboard]

Has The Fall been a daily deal? I was expecting it to come up but haven't seen it. Did I miss it or has it just not been a daily?

It's dumb. I would like licenses to be written so publishers can sell a particular licensed game forever, but it seems that is never how they work. It's super common for licensed games to get pulled from digital storefronts after a couple of years (or even a few months, like what happened with that Deadpool game last year). At least you can still download and play the games if you already own them, they're just unavailable to purchase. Maybe with digital distribution becoming more common, they'll rethink the way licenses should be handled.

 

[Dusk Golem]

Has The Fall been a daily deal? I was expecting it to come up but haven't seen it. Did I miss it or has it just not been a daily?

Has not been a daily, but it is on sale matched at it's cheapest price it's ever been on the Steam Store.

 

[A Sentient Keyboard]

Has not been a daily, but it is on sale matched at it's cheapest price it's ever been on the Steam Store.

Yeah, I just looked up the price and 50% off was what I was expecting out of a daily anyway, so I will get it. Thanks!

 

[sixghost]

Highly recommend Endless Legend BTW.

It and XCOM have been my gems of this sale, already have put a lot of time into each.

Would you recommend it for someone that hasn't really gotten into 4X other than enjoying Civ 5? I love the idea of those games, but I tend to get overwhelmed the first time I play them.

 

[teiresias]

I have $6.97 left in my Steam Wallet. I'm thinking either Bastion, Borderlands, or Borderlands 2? Any opinions?

 

[Adventis]

Is Strike Suit Zero worth getting?

Also which is generally regarded as the superior one to get between the original and Director's Cut edition for someone who doesn't own any of the Strike Suit games?

 

[famfrit]

Someone tell me if its time to buy Dark Souls II or wait for Scholar Sin ?

DS2 DLC arent in the sale, thats why I ask if its a good deals or not.

 

[CecilRousso]

Steam Hidden Deals Thread is now as complete as its gonna be, and open for business

You're still "ignoring" the Pixeljunk games.

 

[Bebpo]

How is desktop dungeons?

 

[Kadin]

I have $6.97 left in my Steam Wallet. I'm thinking either Bastion, Borderlands, or Borderlands 2? Any opinions?

If you've never played Borderlands, I'd highly recommend going with the first one to get a great impression of the series. To many, the 2nd is a step up but I still feel that you should play and enjoy the first one... first.

 

[.hacked]

Also got tales from boarder land off of green man gaming.

No more games until next sale.

 

[Frecklestein]

How is desktop dungeons?

More of a math-ish puzzle game than a roguelike/lite. It's not exactly what I expected. Loved the art style, try a demo if there's one available. I was left disappointed, personally

 

[denx]

Can someone from the US help me get FFXI? I'm in South America and the game is not available on the Steam store here. I was told the US version is not region locked for the Americas... hopefully.

I'm taking a bit of a gamble here, but anyway. If someone can help me send me a PM, I can paypal the money.

 

[Dusk Golem]

You're still "ignoring" the Pixeljunk games.

I'm not ignoring them, they've been way cheaper before though, dramatically so. They were 91% off earlier this year.

 

[Exis]

Done, ten games total, the most was Endless Legend at 18 bucks. .

 

[Moonlight]

Quick question: I'm thinking of gifting someone the Complete Edition of Civ 5, but they already have the base game. Does that mean I'll be gifting everything besides vanilla Civ 5?

Also, can someone sell me on Endless Legend? The price is attractive right now, but I remember playing Endless Space and finding myself kinda put off by how... sterile it felt. Can anyone say if Endless Legend if any different? And how it compares to Civilization 5 in particular. Does it do political/diplomatic/etc stuff better or something?

 

[Messiek]

Also here are cards I don't want.
Blase x4
Clementine x3
Zippy x2
Tender x2
Itsy x1

If anybody needs any of them just ask, though try not to be greedy.

I could use itsy and tender : )

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Someone tell me if its time to buy Dark Souls II or wait for Scholar Sin ?

DS2 DLC arent in the sale, thats why I ask if its a good deals or not.

Wait for scholar sin, alll the content + graphical upgrades.

 

[Skab]

Wait, probably a stupid question but I want to make sure here; Are these encore games going to be the same ones tomorrow?

 

[jimboton]

8 € left. Rex Rocket or Freedom Planet?

 

[eot]

Wait, probably a stupid question but I want to make sure here; Are these encore games going to be the same ones tomorrow?

Two day encore hasn't happened before, so I don't think anyone can say for sure, but I doubt they'll change them tomorrow. Either way they'll last to the end of the sale.

If you bought the game, it is still in your library, you can still install and play it. It just means no more new sales.

Pretty good deals still?

 

[feel]

Does nuuvem do encores? I'm sad I miss sub $10 ground zeroes (and $5 lords of shadow).

I kinda want to buy Flight sim X even though I don't ever plan on playing it. What is wrong with me.

 

[famfrit]

Wait for scholar sin, alll the content + graphical upgrades.

Thanks. Looks like the better choice because the DAMN DS 2 DLC arent in the sale.

Any notice about Scholar Sin price ? $40 looks a good price to me.

 

[Volcynika]

8 € left. Rex Rocket or Freedom Planet?

Both fun, but if you want more replay value, I'd go for Freedom Planet.

Posting in here as well, to all my good GAFfers:

Still some hours until midnight but I might as well leave this here. I really hope you all can have a great entry to 2015. I wish that you can all achieve new goals during the next year and I hope I can be here to witness that. You all have been beyond amazing and I'm so proud to belong to this fine community. Lot's of great people, great discussions, some great recommendations and some good people to chat about our fine hobby as well.

I managed to offer some goodies (food related) to those who are less lucky to have a nice meal during this day so I hope at least they can have a slice of our traditional deserts. This time of the year it's all about helping those who might have less so that I can share a bit. If I could I would give you all some slice of our traditional cooking around here, you would love some of these things, I promise!

I have the biggest respect for you all and I hope we can all keep getting strong as a community. Happy (upcoming) 2015 for you all, my good, fine GAFfers.

Here's some hand-made, traditional deserts I gathered:

Spoiler

I'm a big fan of a good, traditional, well made Sangria, that glass is mine, I admit!
