Mirror's Edge is the main reason I bought VorpX. While it does work, and works pretty well but here is the downfall. Whenever games take the head control away from you (in ME case, this is rolling, climbing, vaulting, etc) it makes you feel sick.
Doom 3 BFG has a great VR Mod but the CGI scenes make you feel horrible as they jump the camera angles around the room.
This is now one of the "VR Standards" that devs are respecting for native rift support. It is a nice that the injectors at least work pretty well - despite a few VR design flaws like head movement being taken away during scripted actions.
Can't say that I was very impressed with the quality of the re-releases. But the effort of bringing them back is commendable

Sheit, if it'll be $15 or less up til early July I'll get it once I get my paycheck.
How bad are we talking here?
Not bad. I liked it. I even made a video of my reactions.

Not entering but nice giveaway. I have to admit that the only RTS I ever played was Dune II: Battle for Arrakis.

It's going to be $15 at launch, according to the PC preorder. On the fence about getting it day one, but still might bite.
Send a PM to ModBot titled "My Loot".

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Good choice. I've really enjoyed Season 2 so far - so much so that I'm on the lookout for The Wolf Among Us this sale.
Didn't spent much time with RoN, but Age of Mythology suffered from very frequent lag and stuttering.
Also for the price tag all these games are offered in, I'd expect a little more work to be done for the visuals. They updated the terrain textures, water, shadows etc but all the units and buildings still look the same as they did in 2003, making the games feel a bit uneven graphically

I can't speak for RoN, but AoE:EE's multiplayer and improved visuals--probably the two major features advertised--seem pretty bad. More info here.
The single player is about as good as I remember it, but I'm not overly impressed overall.
E: What SubZero said. $30 for steamworks is basically what you get. I swear some of the textures (like fish) are somehow worse than the original.
I'm liking the Season 2 of TWD much more than the Wolf Among Us. I loved TWAU first episode but after that it was a hit or miss. The last one was really "empty" when it comes to action, however I can't wait for the next episode for The Walking Dead S2.
Either way they have great characters and the intro music is simply perfect in capturing the mood of the game.
Impressive giveaway!

My body is ready (and wallet)
Haha I'm prepared. The rumoured date is the 19th (2 days) right? That's the day before pay day, too! Oh sh...
What rules would those be, sir? I am a n00b you see.
Welcome to STEAM-GAF.
The first time during these sales are always the best since there's a lot of great titles for great prices. Hope you find something that will fit your taste. I'm sure you will. If there's anything we can do to help during these times feel free to let us know, there's plenty of helpful people in here to help!
Hey man, thanks for the offer. I am sure I'll be posting away and questioning certain games.
I was tempted by the Gamers Gate and GMG sales recently, but a friend said to hang on for Steam's own sales, since those prices are even better!
Yeah that's exactly why I can't wait for this one, particularly to see how much I can grab Skyrim and Fallout 3 + all DLCs for.
That and the Civ V expansions, since I got the vanilla game the other day for £5 on Gamers Gate. I always loved Civ but never got around to this one because I hated the changes (one unit per tile), etc. So I thought I'd best not get the expansions as well in case I hate the vanilla.
Turns out the one unit per tile was the best change ever IMO. I'm absolutely loving this Civ more than ever, and find it so much more tactical now you can't dump a stack of 20+ units on one tile.
Wow... went off on a tangent then.
Hey thanks for all the helpful tips. Enhanced Steam sounds good. Where can I get that?
And I was planning on spending about £150, which is $254.. but I guess that's too much then lol

People, do you know if Anno 1404 still has Tages DRM?
I have all the AAA games I want, and am waiting for B-tier sales.
Time to add some garbage games to my wishlist for drunk/spontaneous sale Hoping for The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct and/or Star Trek for less than $5.
It's like being so desperate for companionship that I need to go down to the sketchy part of town trawling for crack whores.
Yes, that was it. Steam acknowledged the new key and is downloading the episode.
I got that episode in a giveaway from Terra_Ex and Terra_Ex fixed it for me.
Oh wow, there's hope for Stormrise yet. If it does come back I'm going to re-open my ticket with Sega's "Chris" and push for a key since the "If it's not on Steam then we can't do it" excuse will no longer fly (not that it was valid even at the time since the game was voluntarily pulled, but policy is policy).
It's completely DRM-free.

It is the impossible dream. Not even Don Quixote can conquer that dragon of licensing and legal.
I've been avoiding buying some games prior to this sale and just adding them to my wishlist. I think I had 60+ games on my wishlist prior to the summer sale last year and did a decent amount of damage. I believe I had about 850 games at that time.
since that time my steam library has grown to over 1100 and now I have 100-110 items on my wishlist - There is no question I have a problem, and I'm a little afraid of this sale...

What kind of game is Nekro, it LOOKED interesting but I didn't bother to get it from the bundle.
The same applies to Dawn of Destiny.

Right in the middle of Steam sales.
Not a good date unless they're doing a day-1 sale and are featured as a daily (in which case I imagine those that pre-ordered from their site wouldn't be happy).

So the Summer Seal is rumored for the 19th, eh? Gonna fill mah wallet!
Diablo-like RPG with some elements from the Overlord series. Very good game and it's a shame that it got devalued so fast
Weekly deals end on the 19th.
So a pretty safe bet. Mid-week deals that go up today will likely end earlier than usual as well.

I wonder if Vin's likeness is even an issue. I mean, sure, he's in the game, but it was developed by his own studio, so it's not out of the question that his role was just, for all intents and purposes, a regular acting gig. In other words, perhaps Wheelman was pulled simply because Ubi's publishing contract expired (the game itself was owned by Midway, but the company wasn't exactly in a position to return the game to Steam at the time) and WB just needs to be granted access to the app and its subs.
well... its not really diablo style at all. its level based and each level is quite small, almost arena style (but not that small)
I did enjoy what I played quite a bit tho
