One more day of sales, right? Holding out on Hate Plus and Deadly Premonition Director's Cut

Deadly Premonition's been in a sale twice now.
I really hope Hate Plus goes on sale, tho.

 

[Gvaz]

So Elven Legacy was taken off steam?

You missed DP but it could be part of the repeats we'll probably get tomorrow.

 

[blainethemono]

just got this alert, not sure if i should buy it though

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

That is untrue. Just the first two. Origins and Oath have standard Zelda attack buttons.

Also, do note that the bump system from I and II is actually a bit smarter than that - collide with an enemy head on and you get damaged, attack them from sides, back or non-point blank and they get damaged. Ys II adds a magic subsystem as well, turning the game into a quasi shooter.

Wait, what. Fuck I should have bought it yesterday. JB!

Deadly premonition was a flash yesterday, so it has a chance. Don't think you'll see hate plus go further though.

 

[ChaoticEko]

Anyone up for playing some Damned this evening when it wins?

Get ahold of me on steam if interested......

For those still hesitating on Valdis Story, there's a demo available here. Seems fairly long, I didn't even beat it yet haha. I experienced massive screen tearing at first, but I went in my nVidia settings and turned on vSync and it seems to have fixed the problem. I'll very probably buy it, looks pretty cool and challenging.

 

[Curious_George]

Oh come on!

I'm totally cool with Valdis not having DMC style combat (never cared for that style myself). Isn't Dust: An Elysian Tail kind of DMC style combat already? People looking for combo heavy stuff should maybe look that direction as far as indie metroidvania-ish games go.

 

[SparkleMotion]

Everyone buy Botanicula before the end of the sale.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Oh come on!

That's mostly just my budget talking since I resigned to just get whatever my remaining wallet can carry and I got about $4 and I want Damned but I'm starting to falter on that a bit and get both.

 

[PandaPedinte]

I just want to say that Toki Tori 2+ is an amazing game and everyone should buy it.

 

[KenOD]

If you want a 2D "character action" game full of combos and depth to it's combat, you'll have to look toward the Game Boy Advance and pick up a copy of The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night.
Not joking or being silly, it's actually really good.

So with Marvel Activision games being pulled from everywhere, why is Spiderman still available on Steam? Any chance it's going to stay? Kinda expensive now.

There are two different licenses when it comes to Spider-Man (hyphen is important*). There is the one based on the comic books and cartoons directed by Marvel Entertainment (e.g. Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions and Web of Shadows) and the license based off the movies that go through Sony/Columbia such as Amazing Spider-Man.

Amazing Spider-Man is quite safe to hold on before buying it if you are worried as they have a far longer lasting license deal with Activision and are quite happy with the situation. Meanwhile Marvel Entertainment wasn't happy with Activision and the state of affairs for low scoring and wildly panned titles such as X-Men Destiny or Deadpool.

* Without the hyphen you deal with a Spiderman owned by DC Comics (a villain) or a boss fight in Shinobi with SEGA or just a generic monster (common fantasy trope of half spider, half-man, all terrible art).

I just want to say that Toki Tori 2+ is an amazing game and everyone should buy it.

Aye, that it is. Even though I lost my save file and Steam for some reason decided I hadn't play a single second of it, I'm not mad as it means I get to play it over again.

It's a fairly good pirate rpg game and much better than risen 2, but has much higher gpu requirements and right now I can't finish the game because i can't afford to get a better graphics card

Sony currently holds the rights to spiderman movies and merchandising. That's why.

It isn't as crazy as DMC (that's Dust for certain), but it isn't really stretching the truth to say that Valdis does borrow a lot from the DMC series. It has spots on a certain tree that give you higher attack, depending on the level of your combo. With the second character I was juggling shit and dashing all over the place. You've also got different strings, depending on what buttons you press...just like DMC and NG. If people are looking for something closer to DMC, then that's DUST.

I also need to get to that, right after I finish The Swapper. >.>

Master Reboot might be my last purchase for this sale.

 

[Dusk Golem]

;3; I am very humbled. I got gifts for friends and you guys, so I guess some gifting back is not completely unexpected, but between Honorless gifting me Deadpool last night when it was going of store and my funds for this sale run-dried, a friend just gifting me DayZ out of the blue, it still is a very good feeling to know people enjoy what you give others and care enough to goft back, a very heart-warming, giddy feeling~ on-top of things like Resident Evil Outbreak havin online availability again, this has me in a very humbled and happy mood for the start of this New Year!

 

[Gvaz]

It was a flash sale once later in the day, then one that was on at 6am-1pm or w hatever. I missed that one completely

 

[KarmaCow]

Crap.

interest gone

I don't think that was ever meant to be the draw of the game though. It's not DMC, but the combat is more complex than a beatem up.

 

[SparkleMotion]

Resident Evil Outbreak havin online availability again

...what?

 

[Wookieomg]

Do you guys think Recettear will be a daily or a flash deal between now and the end of the sale? It hasn't dropped in price at all so far.

 

[Link Man]

Just installed the Air Skin for the Steam client. Quick question:

In grief.exe's screenshot earlier in the thread, there were no margins between the games while in grid mode. How can that be achieved?

 

[InfiniteNine]

Yeah, I just have a limited budget I'm trying to keep that might break if Damned wins the vote.

 

[KenOD]

...what?

Japanese copies only, but that may be a "for now" statement.

She's had her time in the spotlight. I vote for Karen Gillan to become the new queen.

I vote Emilia Clarke because she's perfect.

But to be on topic. I have about 5 bucks left in my wallet, hoping something interests me in the next few rounds.

 

[Dusk Golem]

...what?

A fan effort has made it where Resident Evil Outbreak 1 & 2 have a fan-made online server available to play and now open, though you need a Japanese version of the game. Another GAF topic on it but exciting news~

This is the last daily.

The sale ends tomorrow at 1pm EST.

So do we have 1 more day of sales or is tomorrow at roll over it, every timer is set to end on 17 hours and the New page even says "runs until January 2nd"

Hmmm... I'm pretty sure Recettear was a daily or flash deal at some point this sale. Or maybe I'm thinking of the Thanksgiving sale. I thought I remembered seeing it on sale though.

Otherwise just keep watching to see if it goes on a flash sale and if not, get it the last day.

I think it was a Flash sale.

ns community has and always will persist.

Man I played the tutorial and there's like numbers and shit. Map is all big and there's all these abilities and pokemon evolutions. I don't want to play freaking dota.

I just want a rifle, a motion tracker, and xenomorphs. No predators, no killcams, no qtes...why hasn't that game been made

Spoiler

by a dev other than gearbox

? The game pretty much designs itself. There's literally first-person camera shots in Aliens.

 

[Uraizen]

Yeah, but that's what mainly caught my interest. Well, at least it has something to it, I suppose.

lol

Let's not talk about that.

Sorry I'm still new to these sales.

This better be done in the US at some point.

They want to do it for both US an PAL games, but need more info and old saves of the US's and PAL's online network stuff, as they worked differently than the Japanese servers and there isn't a current archive of the network files to reverse-engineer. I only know the basics, far better explained on the projects forum, but want to do the US and PAL versions if possible.

Infinite, very kind of you. Funny to sometimes see you here as well as stream chats these days, I should mention. But also want to comment your current profile pic makes me think you'd be able to do a pretty good Madotuski cosplay from Yume Nikki.

Sure many here will be happy with the giveaway~

You sure? Front page says through Jan 3rd. Tomorrow is probably the encore daily.
