Thoughts on, 7 Days To Die?

Don't have it myself but a constant in most of the reviews I've read of all involve griefers/cheaters which is a shame really :/

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

playing lost planet

shit still looks so good

Does Lost Planet use GFWL? Or was that Colonies?

 

[TuckingFypo]

I've finally purchased my first game of the sale - Prison Architect. I think I've looked into it before but didn't bite.

Lost Planet - Steamworks

The latter never goes on sale.

Ahh that's too bad.

Was hoping to see Ryse at £15 or under

This game broke my winter sales virginity as well!

Seems that if you buy the Bit Trip Collection and add it as a gift in your inventory, then unpack it, the games you already own turns into separate gifts.

 

[Uthred]

The review that dissuaded me from getting the game was the apparently *very* low to-hit chance.

Hmm that is offputting, not a big fan of "whiff-fests"

Well hello there friend

 

[creamfarts]

Depth looks really good, but are the servers well populated?

 

[PFD]

What's the lowest CS:GO has ever been? I'm thinking of getting it

 

[Benedict]

Well hello there friend

There still is a 30 day quarantine

 

[Willy Wanka]

Does anybody know whether the Stronghold and Stronghold Crusader games in the 'Stronghold Collection' are the patched HD versions? I see you can buy those seperately but I was wondering if the ones in the collection were different. Cheers.

I went ahead and bought it and the answer is yes, just incase anybody else was wondering, which they probably weren't. Nostalgia trip, here I come!

 

[Kinyou]

Is Dreamfall Chapters acessible if you haven't played the previous games?

Should I perhaps wait and get " Dreamfall: The longest journey" when it's on sale?

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

There still is a 30 day quarantine

What does that mean? 30 days before inventory items become giftable?

 

[Lomax]

What's the lowest CS:GO has ever been? I'm thinking of getting it

Before it got popular it got a few 75% off sales, but recently it hasn't gotten anything more than 50% off.

 

[Jirotrom]

Following the post about LTTP Wolfenstein: The New Order, it's currently 50% off. Wondering if it will be lower during the sale before pulling the trigger.

it was just on sale on greenman gaming for around 72% off yesterday :/

 

[Caffeine]

What's the lowest CS:GO has ever been? I'm thinking of getting it

$3.74

 

[Teeth]

Word on the street is that Valve aren't going to sell it super cheap anymore because it brings in too many scammers.

It was 3.74$ a bunch when it wasn't popular, but now it never goes that low.

 

[Benedict]

If you buy a game and store it as a gift in your inventory, you can't gift it until after 30 days have passed.

If you buy a game and give it directly to another user, there is no 30 day wait.

That's not correct. There is no lock on gifting for any amount of time, only trading directly. I bought some Xmas gifts in the sale to send next week, and I can do this no problem.

 

[Ark]

How is Ethan Carter? I've been wanting to buy it for a while now but £8.99 feels a little steep for a four-or-so hour game.

 

[Zimbardo]

Depth looks really good, but are the servers well populated?

ya not bad ...currently over 900 in game at the moment and that should continue to grow.

you can also play against bots, so if the user base ever dies you can at least still play it. heh.

very pretty. story is good. some interesting mechanics. i loved it but like you said its not very long

That is what I said. There is no restriction on gifting.

 

[Jomjom]

Is there a list somewhere of all the games that have had dailies or the special flash sales so far?

 

[robotrock]

Any guesses for how much Lords of the Fallen is going to drop? Kinda shocked its already 50% for the entire sale.

 

[Marow]

Two games bought so far... Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and Ethan Carter.

Still hesitant about buying Batman Arkham Origins. Perhaps they'll release a Complete Edition later on... because in at least Europe there seems to be a physical version like that. Ohh, the choices you gotta do during sales.

Nice, now to con my friends into going in on a 4 pack with me, lol.

 

[Videospel]

I think there might be some issues with unloked FPS in Deus Ex, like dialogue skipping. I recommend installing the DX10 renderer that you'll find with some quick googling.

Get the DX10 renderer. It fixes issues like that and it adds widescreen resolutions I think.

Downloaded the DX10 renderer and combined it with Kentie's launcher. Everything seems to be working fine now. Thanks for the help!

I think for Origins you need the season pass + the black mask challenge pack for all the relevant DLC. The rest is just multiplayer supply drop crap.

I'm expecting 66%.

75% seems very unlikely but what a treat that would be.

 

[xezuru]

I got $2.50 on my steam wallet, and $2.11 on my Greenman Wallet, IM READY.

 

[TheKurgan]

I want to pick up the Boarderlands 1/2 GOTY editions. Is 75% off as good as it's going to get?

 

[~Kinggi~]

Yes

Just note that the BL2 GOTY does not contain all dlc.

careful you big spender!

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Think I'm gonna grab Endless Legend as my 4X this sale since I held off on Beyond Earth and Gal Civ III. (When it goes on daily of course. I know, I know, it was on sale just before the main sale started.) Any opinions on the additions the Emperor pack adds? Will probably just get it anyway to be "complete".

Probably will snag Dungeon of the Endless too.

Never got too into Endless Space, but this one seems a bit more up my alley based on a few videos, even though I tend to prefer sci-fi themes.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Best explosions of previous gen.

Only colonies.

Lost Planet - Steamworks
Colonies Edition - GFWL

The latter never goes on sale.

Thanks, I might get it before sales end if I have spare money.

Thoughts on, 7 Days To Die?

It's alright if you don't mind the multiplayer have literally no anti-cheat. Anyone can screw with how much damage they receive, they give, where they spawn, etc. It's a good game regardless, enjoyable to play. Better on a LAN/PvE with friends, though, least you're not dealing with absolutely dreadful communities in that case. Graphics aren't the best, but the atmosphere is great. Sound FX are good, as well, minus the one at death.

Spoiler

Literally just a scream, there's no animation to it or anything. Screen goes away, then, you start over. Meh.

For an early access game, however, it's very well finished. Been playing since Alpha 5, no regrets.

E: If you enjoy Minecraft at all, you'll like it.

 

[Remote]

BioShock games are 66% off except for Infinite which is 50%. Are they likely to go any deeper?

 

[Face it Tiger..]

are the featured deals the Daily ones?

 

[Gruso]

Yep. Also check steamdb for dailies not shown on the front page ("hidden dailies"): https://steamdb.info/sales/

lords of the fallen is 50% off until jan 2nd on steam. think thats the lowest i'll see it this year?

Yes, same applies to every newish AAA-game.

 

[DylanTackoor]

I know it's already 80% off, but there's absolutely no chance Super Meat Boy would get any cheaper right?

And can anyone recommend some good games to buy a 9 year old? 'Tis the season of giving and I can't think of any games to give my sister for her first gaming rig.
