Has Rouge Legacy been on sale for cheaper earlier this sale? Would it be smarter to wait till tomorrow or should I bite the bullet? It's already half off, don't know if it's been on sale previously...

It was on sale at least once

 

[jshackles]

Cool. Cool cool cool.

Lots of new features in the next version.

It has been almost $5 this sale (around $4.90 something)

I'm also hoping for a sale of that one again since I didn't buy it last time

 

[legacyzero]

Are you streaming Nether right now Legacy?

Also, can you write a brief synopsis/impressions on the game, or link me to one you have already?

Not streaming at the moment, but I did a couple times.

It's an early access, and is still rough around the edges. But it's really the same situation as DayZ is. You are all alone, in a city type setting looking for supplies, and trying to stay alive. PVP and Kill on site are still a very real threat as well. The difference is, there are a few safe zone type areas where you can purchase goods, ammo, food, first aid, etc. Also do missions between safe zones (like courier type missions where you take a package from one safe zone to another on the other side of the city for money.

The main attraction are the "NETHER", a beastly type foe that is capable of warping in and out of your dimension. Their weakness is they are mostly blind, however sensitive to sound. So sprinting in a building like an idiot while around a Nether will get you attacked pretty quick.

Also, most buildings have interiors and/or scaffolding to climb on the outside of it.

Another great way of getting around are subway tunnels. CREEPY!

If this is the level of awesome that they are offering, and still patching in content (they just patched in a wingsuit, and a new "GOLEM" nether monther), I can't wait to see what the end game will be. Was worth every penny.

Slender is still in this bundle http://www.bundlestars.com/all-bundles/indie-capsule-bundle/

Saw this just now, thank you for mentioning this, got a few games from this I've been meaning to check out, all for nearly the same price as Slender by itself. And the Steam game count continues to rise!

If you own 100 cards they will turn into HL3 on Friday.

[Sajjaja]

Anyone got cards 1, 5, 9? I got an extra 2 I could give. Pls, i need globe pls. pls gif.

Also, I'm guessing there is no chance that CSD will go on sale anymore. Says the Holiday price ends in 14 hours.

Items.

 

[legacyzero]

Thanks for the impressions Legacy.

No problem!

 

[kurahador]

Man...I really wants to play Dayz, Nether, Rust and the like. But the lag and early access thing scares me off. Not to mention the gameplay videos I've seen looks really rough.

I wish there's an AAA level kind of game in this genre.

 

[Sayah]

Thanks for the impressions Legacy.

Try DayZ's mod for $5-8 right now through Arma2's sale?

 

[JennyTablina]

Just realized unlike the snow globes, the summer sale cards don't seem to expire at all. Crafted an extra summer badge with some spare wallet cash because I was halfway there anyway. Bumped me up to Level 13 so yay?

I can hook you up with #1.

Any Delver impressions? Worth $4?

 

[SixStringPsycho]

So should i Buy Arma complete to play the Dayz Mod. Cheaper than the actual standalone game right?

Yeah, I can 1:1 trade numbered cards. Clicky here

Yes, but standalone will sooner or later be a better overall game.

Yeah, I was hopeful that the Summer cards not expiring would make them more valuable as time went on (because of dwindling numbers and such), but instead it has driven their prices to the ground. Summer cards are selling for like 5 cents now.

Not nearly enough to fund Valdis Story, damn it!

 

[Teknoman]

So then...I should buy Valdis?

 

[JaseC]

Come on Acti there's at least 2 Flash sales left, you have barely made any money from Space Quest Collection, heck I don't even think JaseC has it, just let me get it for $10 or $5 already, and more people will buy it just because they realized they don't have it in their steam collection!

Haha, I keep forgetting to buy it because:

AllowPurchaseFromRestrictedCountries No
PurchaseRestrictedCountries AU NZ

Thanks for nothing, Acti. I've overspent as it is and still need to get my hands on Guardians of Middle-earth so Space Quest will have to wait.

 

[Coppanuva]

So then...I should buy Valdis?

If you like side-scrolling action games and the more recent 2d-castlevania game style exploration, yes. I've only put about 1 hours in (2 if you count me having to mess with settings and controllers to get the framerate to work) but it's solid fun so far and I'm enjoying.

Haha yeah I tried to sell all my trading cards for Valdis to no avail. Managed to get £1.16 for my troubles. Figure if I craft some badges and up my level, then odds of boosters go up as well so I could stand to gain in the long run better from that?

 

[InfiniteNine]

So who wanted to split a 4-pack for Damned? I'm still interested in doing so!

 

[Tesseract]

yup nether is awesome, probably my favorite survival pyscho murderer griefer simulator out right now.

 

[legacyzero]

So then...I should buy Valdis?

Yes. for that low of a price for a metroidvania. YES.

 

[honorless]

Yeah, the big problem with the summer sale cards is that the bolded never ended up happening. There are ~30,000 more copies of each card on the market now than there were when the sale ended.

 

[alr1ght]

I just bought the rest of the Bit.Trip games, which means they will show up on the humble bundle tomorrow.

 

[mannerbot]

Definitely not, or at least not enough to offset the cost of the cards to level up the badges. There's a limited number of booster packs going out and a lot of very high-level users, getting to level 20 isn't gonna appreciably increase your drops.

 

[Momentary]

Damn. I want Planetary Annihilation. Has anyone bit the bullet on that 40 dollar price tag to find out about it?

 

[Tesseract]

Probably, but thing is the frequency of booster drops is tied to how many people are crafting badges for that particular game, so it can be pretty unreliable even when leveling up. I'm only level 20 though, maybe people with higher levels can say wether or not you get more boosters as you level up.

btw, I got my second Super Meat Boy booster today.

Ah, had not thought of that, presumed that the random boosters were plentiful enough that even low levels might get a few from time to time, that sounds more like I'll be lucky to ever see one. Ho hum : (

If you decide to buy it, get it here for $3.53. Part of a bundle that brings 6 other games. Almostheathen linked it two pages back.

You'll be spending enough cash to upgrade your badge level that it'll take litterally years to make the money back off of increased drops (unless you get lucky and get frequent foils).
This is coming from a level 40 (not particularly high or low)

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Valdis Story, bought. $16.26 left in my wallet from my friend's Xmas present, haha.

Thoughts on Slender?

Slender: The Arrival impressions from phone:

Slender: The Arrival is my favorite Slender-related game. It's not very long, about 2-3 hours to beat the first time, but there is some good replaybility and some very cool secrets, including a very well hidden level (which is the scariest part of the game, holy shit). The game is created by the two people who made Slender who he is today, the guy who made the original Slender: Eight Pages, and with a story by Marble Hornets, the people who made the Marble Hornets Slender series of videos.

The game is actually a fair bit cinematic, not in the sense of how taking control or forced set-pieces or anything, but on how presentation, pacing, and progression are handled. You start out in day read making your way to the house of a close friend, but something is amiss...

The stages are actually quite varied. There is a stage that is just like the classic Slender grab pages style, but different stages hold different goals, threats, and legitimate feel quite a bit different. They have a remade version of the original Slender Eight Pages stage away from the story as well, if interested in that. I don't want to say too much for spoilers, but Slender: Eight Pages does not scare me, Arrival scares me several times. There's good randomization element as well, and difficulties and the like to keep things interesting.

If you don't mind its short length and the sort of cinematic flair it has, Slender is different than other titles in a sort of more coherent experience and budget to allow a more thorough adventure that still manages to be rather ambiguous.

[Teknoman]

Yes. for that low of a price for a metroidvania. YES.

If you like side-scrolling action games and the more recent 2d-castlevania game style exploration, yes. I've only put about 1 hours in (2 if you count me having to mess with settings and controllers to get the framerate to work) but it's solid fun so far and I'm enjoying.

And done with the remainder of my wallet.

I thought Summer cards stopped being given when the sale ended. How did that happen?
