I got a bunch of stuff during the sale that I really wanted.

A certain someone gifted me Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin (boss spoilers for this game and the first Dark Souls ahead). I'm enjoying it, but the early bosses feel pretty bland compared to Dark 1's bosses. Though I did just 100% Dark 1 last week, so maybe I'm a little burned out, I don't know. The two homage bosses that I've fought (

Spoiler

Belfry Gargoyles and Old Dragonslayer

) were especially disappointing compared to the Dark 1 equivalents, they were just so easy. The most memorable boss I've fought so far is the boss of No Man's Wharf,

Spoiler

Flexile Sentry

, but I feel like the fight was sort of diminished by how soon you see it again as a regular enemy in Sinner's Rise. Like it's cool seeing

Spoiler

Capra and Taurus Demons

later on in Dark 1 as regular enemies, but that's because you fight the boss versions in the beginning of the game and don't see them again until near the end. With

Spoiler

the Flexile Sentry, and the Pursuer

, you see them again so soon that it diminishes the lasting impact of their boss fights, like Dark 1's

Spoiler

Pinwheel

fight.

No Man's Wharf isn't required to progress though so I personally encountered the Flexile Sentry in Sinners Rise first, and the Pursuer showing up multiple times is kinda his thing, he is a pursuer after all

 

[jonno394]

Didn't spend much during the sale tbh:

Dead Rising 2: Off The Record
Ryse: Son of Rome
Deponia: The Collection
Bioshock
Out There Somewhere

£14.70 in total

 

[Zeeman]

Ended up getting gifted Stardew Valley right at the end of the sale, really looking forwards to trying that out

 

[Anno]

Looks like I ended spending ~$50 on games and $15 on the Dota hat pack. Not a bad sale. Already really enjoying Momodora.

 

[zkylon]

welcome to japanese animation, or "anime" if you prefer

does that game even have animation

 

[Grief.exe]

Was thinking about Subnautica and Stardew Valley, but I still have The Long Dark from the last sale.

Was also thinking about Hyper Light Drifter, but I still have The Witcher 3, Dark Souls 3, and Dragon's Dogma to finish.

Mostly picked up some old games that I will get to eventually like Doom, Quake, and Titan Quest.

 

[Zeeman]

Also I finally got an Ys game to try out (Oath). Very curious to see what all the fuss is about

How's Why am I Dead at Sea? Looks interesting but I don't have much Earthbound nostalgia.

 

[Ban Puncher]

omg those umineko boobs are giant

 

[the_firewithin]

How's Why am I Dead at Sea? Looks interesting but I don't have much Earthbound nostalgia.

I got this last winter sale. Thought it was great

 

[jshackles]

How do i enable the WebExtension api in the current Firefox so that ES works?

Install Firefox Beta
Install Enhanced Steam (click "try the beta")

There are still some bugs though, all of it is stuff I'm waiting on Mozilla to fix before I consider it "not beta".

 

[Corpekata]

How's Why am I Dead at Sea? Looks interesting but I don't have much Earthbound nostalgia.

It's not much like Earthbound really.

It's pretty good. I think it's a bit disappointing in that for all the endings it has, it lacks one that feels really complete.

Had much more to spend, lackluster percentages off on deals kept that from happening though. I wish I would have simply assumed the sale would be pathetic once again and had spent more at GOG...

I've tried to dump this stuff before and had little success (for obvious reasons). A couple notes: I have no idea if these keys are good. I simply asked for my "full loot" from ModBot and then copied over those supposedly unclaimed keys and URLs here. If something doesn't work I sincerely apologize but don't send me mail on it. I know we shouldn't really use the dump feature but in this case I feel it warranted.

Cool? Cool.

 

[-MD-]

That's like the 4th sale in a row where I've bought nothing.

 

[Rhaknar]

that Icarus mmo looks kinda cool. I like the idea of the game revolving around taming a bunch of mounts and using them in combat

 

[KainXVIII]

IT'S OVER.
IT'S ALL OVER.



Someone needs to explain to me the hype for this.

Dat art though

 

[zkylon]

I promised this. Just so you know:

i entered

i like to weird myself out

lmao

 

[rtcn63]

Dat art though

Sanji has seen better days

 

[Knurek]

Someone needs to explain to me the hype for this.

Just watch the first few minutes (until color change happens). If it doesn't affect you at all, you are a heartless human being, and should be ashamed of yourself.

Spoiler

\s

 

[Hektor]

Dat art though

I'd prefer a novel without art over a novel with this kind of art 24/7 tbqh

 

[Ludens]

Why am I dead at sea is 50% off on Steam right now, but the interesting thing is the game got a 50% off price cut too, so now the base price is 5€.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Dat art though

I wonder how many sales this absolutely terrible image has single handedly lost for Clannad?

Did you just call the Ouya edition of Broken Age trash?

 

[Megauap]

I missed this thread.

 

[Bonfires Down]

Oh man, I kind of want to get Obduction and Inside and Necropolis and Rimworld and Human Fall Flat and Phantom Brave. We'll see how much I can justify spending.

 

[The_Super_Inframan]

I did spend 94,85€

But 66,52€ of that I payed with card money, and I sold the Steam Controller for 50€ on eBay...

So I made around 15€ plus this sale after eBay fees and so on, feels good

Spoiler

I know that card money is not really free money, but I had more money after the sale than before, that has to count for something...

 

[Kaleinc]

No more 3 same cards dropping from the discovery queue, what a relief.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

No Man's Wharf isn't required to progress though so I personally encountered the Flexile Sentry in Sinners Rise first,

Yeah, the only reason I went through No Man's Wharf was because I ran out of Fragrant Branches and decided to go to a different area for more exploration and souls. I feel like encountering the boss version of the sentry would be even weirder after fighting the one in Sinner's Rise.

and the Pursuer showing up multiple times is kinda his thing, he is a pursuer after all

Killing it feels satisfying, so I hope it shows up more.

 

[KenOD]

That was the least active Steam sale I've ever done for myself, only five games to my account. It's better in the long run, but the whole mindset of "buy it only if I'm going to play it soon" takes a lot of the purchasing fun out of it.

Curse you responsible buying.

Time to see if Vanishing of Ethan Carter is worth it.

 

[Baron_Calamity]

I spent around $54 plus a bunch of card money. Got a lot of bundle trash for pennies for some +1s. I bolded the games I bought that I'm intending on playing.

I gave myself a budget of $75. I spent less than a third of that. Responsible buying does things.

Least you can refund if it isn't worth it, right?

PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate

One of the most underrated games on Steam.

 

[Large Professor]

Death's Gambit and Rain World have apparently been moved to 2017. I bet EITR isn't going to get released in 2016 either.

 

[Monooboe]

Aaah home sweet home!

Typical, the moment I come over some extra cash the sale ends.XD

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

There was a Shadow of Mordor price glitch?

If and when I am finally over with Fallout 4, I still got Witcher 3 to go through. Just in time for Winter Sale.

never feel bad about using the dump feature!

 

[More_Badass]

Death's Gambit and Rain World have apparently been moved to 2017. I bet EITR isn't going to get released in 2016 either.

Rain World's 2017 seems to be a "we don't want to commit to a date yet" kind of 2017. The game is content complete, and many recent comments from the devs imply we'll see the game sooner than later

 

[Monooboe]

If and when I am finally over with Fallout 4, I still got Witcher 3 to go through. Just in time for Winter Sale.

Yay.

Started with Fallout 4 again. I usually only play Bethesda games vanilla but are there any must have mods?

 

[Stumpokapow]

Time to see if Vanishing of Ethan Carter is worth it.

It's one of the most ethical games ever created for sure.

 

[Large Professor]

Rain World's 2017 seems to be a "we don't want to commit to a date yet" kind of 2017. The game is content complete, and many recent comments from the devs imply we'll see the game sooner than later

Sorry if old news but looks like Funstock digital has a dedicated US site now:

http://www.funstockdigital.com/

Had a bad experience with them pre-ordering Fallout 4, but I did get a free season pass out of the ordeal.
