Support NeoGAF

[Zia]

"Oh, a Devolver sale! Love supporting those guys. I'll just go grab... some... thing... oh."

I own every game they've released, apparently.

This Canada Day Sale daily is rather disappointing.

 

[MUnited83]

All that talk about movie games... I really wish Enter the Matrix and Path of Neo could be put on Steam.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

that's too much for canada. Wait for winter sale.

This Canada Day Sale daily is rather disappointing.

I wasn't expecting much just coming out of the summer sale. Canada is always disappointing.

All this Magic talk makes me remember the one time I won anything.

Story time:
Years ago, I went to check the mail at my post office box and found a large package I wasn't expecting. Taking it home and opening it I found boxes for three computer games: Magic: The Gathering, X-COM: Apocalypse, and Star Trek: TNG A Final Unity. Turns out I had won second place in a Microprose/WotC contest that I didn't even remember entering and that was my prize. That was a great day and I played all those games a bunch, especially the Shandalar M:TG game which I loved. Turns out first prize was just a bunch of Magic cards from the current set (which I don't even remember what it was), and I was much happier with the computer games.

Those games were great - would really kill for a remake with full cinematics (although the original 1 hour of footage was cool) and HD textures, but would settle for a Steam re-release.

 

[iosefe]

Wait for the daily d-- wait, nevermind.

They sold it for less on GOG during that sale ($4.99). I was hoping they'd at least match it

so it's very worth then?

Jesus Christ, X05

Someone has to do a summary of this insanity and Lionel Mandrake doesn't post in this topic

Yeah, I know, hence why I gave myself some wiggle room.

True true, just wanted to state the small difference with actual numbers

X05 and his super post! He makes sure to get everyone in one shot haha

The only way to quote™

Hey, does anyone know why Steam windows keep getting bumped from my second monitor to my main monitor? It's been doing this for ages and I've never quite been able to pinpoint why. I mean, there are probably dozens of reasons why, I'm just curious if anyone's had the same thing happening and if there's a solution.

so it's very worth then?

Everything points to yes, but I havn't played the full version yet

Reminder: 1 hour remaining for Abyss Odyssey giveaway. (Includes the soundtrack)

 

[Automatisch]

What, "Yup, everyone has something else" or "Yup, it's Mark of the Ninja"?

It was MOTN.

 

[charlequin]

It feels like they're chasing the Hearthstone money, though.

The point of DotP isn't to make money, it's to get people to play paper Magic, and in that it has been ludicrously successful. Hearthstone money isn't really available to them since they can't ever match its business model with an online game.

 

[YianGaruga]

It's not virtual booster based. You unlock cards by playing (or buying unlock DLC) the same way you did before. There's just a base pool of about 300 cards instead of 300ish cards split between different decks this time.

This is in the store description though

Deck building: Open virtual booster packs of Magic cards to build decks and battle in single- and multi-player modes.

Fingers crossed, this game looks fantastic!

 

[HoosTrax]

Are we expecting a new Humble Fail Bundle today? It's usually on a Tuesday, at 2PM EST right?

 

[Black Soma]

So, new Humble Bundle today?

Yeah, I always saw DOTP as a gateway to Magic. Hell, even though I don't actively play it gets me hyped to buy boosters/decks and collect cards when a new one comes out.

That certainly was a fun game back in the day. So nice that they had I think every single voice done by the actual actors/actresses too. I still have my old Mac copy around somewhere.

 

[StAidan]

Well heck, now Luftrausers hits 40% off... yes, after I emptied my Steam wallet. Would've bought it for that price had it been during the summer sale.

Oh well, Luftrausers, I'll get you next time... and your little dog, too!

[Nabs]

An anime game with no cards? Pfft.

 

[Volimar]

I'm pretty much done with Hearthstone until the PvE content comes out.

 

[_hekk05]

Noo I'm 2 bucks short for luftrausers and a buck short for yawhg

I guess there's always winter seal

 

[cicero]

Almost half time

Was Dark Scavenger in a recent Indie Bundle or something?

Nothing for me but some solid deals if you missed them from the Summer Sale.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

http://store.steampowered.com/sale/canadaday

dammit canada, you guys don't know how to sale.

 

[MUnited83]

What a terrible sale.

 

[phoenix296]

Rogue Legacy 50% off? They're not even price matching themselves from the summer sale. -_-

 

[TheSeks]

"Oh, a Devolver sale! Love supporting those guys. I'll just go grab... some... thing... oh."

I own every game they've released, apparently.

Buy me Shadow Warrior, Marc Ecko's: Getting Up, or Heavy Bullets, plz. ;_;

Also the comments to this article make me sad.

 

[Sub Zero]

A Carmageddon 1 gift just got added to my inventory. Must be a bonus for all Carmageddon, Reincarnation owners

 

[JaseC]

I'm missing TowerFall, but I need to cool off for a week or two.

Ah, nice. Thanks for the heads-up.

 

[Panda Rin]

How's Shadow Warrior? Playing through Wolfenstein makes me want more Arcade FPS goodness.

 

[RS4-]

Pretty disappointing for the Canada Day sale.

 

[Mokoi]

An anime game with no cards? Pfft.

Ewww gross generic ass animu art.

 

[Chariot]

Rogue Legacy 50% off? They're not even price matching themselves from the summer sale. -_-

Maybe it's purpose is to make us feel better about the summer sale.

 

[Hugstable]

UGH, learning very quickly that I probably shouldn't take breaks to post while in Anor Londo, especially while Human.. Just got ganked by someone and his claymore

 

[Seraphis Cain]

An anime game with no cards? Pfft.

Oh shit I hope I have a Steam key waiting for me over at Groupees from that Doujin Bundle.

EDIT: Nope, not yet. Hopefully though.

 

[charlequin]

This is in the store description though

It's not virtual booster based like Hearthstone/Hex/whatever where you pay money to get more cards. You play the campaign and it gives you unlocks in the form of "boosters."

 

[Automatisch]

Ewww gross generic ass animu art.

Rockin Android hasn't let me down in the past with their other published games.

 

[Adnor]

Hey SteamGAF! How're you all doing?

 

[Tizoc]

Ewww gross generic ass animu art.

Who is the character in your avatar btw?

 

[TheSeks]

Right, but you also have the ability to buy boosters like the "Sealed"/draft boosters in '14, yeah?

 

[phoenix296]

Where are you in Anor Londo for, umm, reasons.

*avatar quote*

Nozomi from Love Live School Idol Project

Curiously, Sang-Froid is not on this list. Cue the quebecois jokes.

Just quit to menu the next time you want to take a break.

 

[Scythian]

I'd probably buy Rogue Legacy if it was sub $5, and Shadow warrior looks fun but too expensive still.

I'm tempted by Mark of the Ninja, but I feel like I could get it cheaper in a bundle or later down the line. Been hankering for some good platformer action.

 

[ANuclearError]

The Inbetweeners is such an excellent series, I still haven't watched the movie though.

You should, it has some good moments in it, it's probably on Netflix.
