I'm going to ask things a little differently this time. What games should I not buy?

.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Ah I see thanks, will they appear as flash deals?

....They'll appear as the Monster Game deals tomorrow.

 

[Vazra]

.

The real game is the +1 so buy everything.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Yeah this is not good at all.

Spoiler

I thought that said RAPE REWARD....

So they made it easier to get the

Spoiler

shitty

rewards now? Nice.

This is, indeed, very nice and actually both rewarding and easy-to-avoid-scam than using the old method achievement based.

Right. Instead of cheating and using SAM to idle and unlock achievements, now you can just chat and use SAM. This won't get abused at all.

 

[Arthea]

Tokyo school life sounds like something that could end up in a bundle eventually.
Like a Groupee Japan bundle or something.

that will never happen, to this day we had no more expensive VN appear in any bundle, any tier, only cheap ones.
That might change one day, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

 

[BruteUA]

The winners will be selected randomly, and announced 2nd June at the Playfire Rewards Batman: Arkham Knight page.

Well I didn't win.

 

[velociraptor]

What are the chances of dark souls 2 being a daily. So badly want it to be discounted...

 

[YianGaruga]

How is it rewarding? You get 5p. You'll never win the prizes anyway
It's a joke

 

[Nabs]

5p? We talking pence?

 

[Rhaknar]

100%

 

[YianGaruga]

5p? We talking pence?

yes, $0.08

 

[Dsyndrome]

I took it as pounds, guess I'm wrong.

 

[Vuze]

So, is 5p = £5 or is it literally 5 cents? lol

E: nvm haha

 

[Arthea]

guys, who cares about playfire anymore, let's talk games, ones that are on sale like right now?

 

[inm8num2]

That reminds me...I have a bit of Playfire credit I obtained last year.

 

[derExperte]

If they would've meant pounds they would've written £. See the £1000 price.

But you want us to tell you what not to buy. That's disgusting.




I would kick everything off that list except DreadOut.

 

[MUnited83]

Now will just need like a year of play rewards to buy a 2$ game!

 

[chronomac]

Anyone else having trouble adding items to their cart?

 

[Kifimbo]

So, one game a week x 5p each game = 2.6 £ per year. LOL. Just scrap the whole thing.

 

[Tizoc]

Did you seriously didnt notice the monster game deals unlock until now?

I never cared for that thing :V

 

[garath]

Yeah, it does that for some unknown reason (I'm sure someone can actually explain it in here though)
http://store.steampowered.com/app/322520/

Thanks for that. I even had it on my wishlist. Guess my wishlist is getting too large. (136 items lol)

 

[Pachimari]

It already is?

It is out already. Go to W3 Store page and download them.

Woah, I didn't know this either. Nice!

 

[FLD]

Oh wow, that's fucking ridiculous. I still actually used the rewards and was able to build up a decent amount of credit over a relatively short period of time but now it's essentially useless.

I guess the achievement tracking thing was too much of a hassle? It seemed like every single week people complained about rewards not unlocking for them. Last support ticket I had to send took like a month before they even responded.

but I haven't played any of those games, except MGR, how I will know what not to buy if you don't say me how they play?

DreadOut is being bought, I decided that after Dusk's review long time ago, the question is only when.

Buying MGS:GZ makes sense if you want to get MGSV day 1.

 

[JustinBB7]

Welp, Playfire is dead then, was wondering why I didn't get anything lately, thought at least witcher would have something.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

PC has Killer Instinct, Street Fighter V, Sea of Thieves, Shemue III, FFVII Remake, MGSV, Gears of War UE, DS3, Cuphead, Fallout 4, No Man's Sky, Star Wars Battlefront, Tales of Zestiria, FFXIV Heavensward, DOOM, Rainbow Six Siege, and more.

Feels fucking great, man.

 

[Jazz573]

If I could do that I wouldn't have asked. But no, I value my money, and I don't want to waste it on terrible games, so I'd like to know which ones to avoid.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Welp. Clicker game won't let me spend any of my points and I can't get out of the screen. Guess I'm useless today.

 

[Sch1sm]

Started playing Lisa today. At first it was difficult to get past how weird the very beginning points are, but now it's just funny. Dark humour, best humour. Too early in to really form any real impression, though, considering it's length.

Just broke 900K in the monster game. My level times are hitting negative.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I was gonna buy MGS Ground Zeroes but I remembered they never added cards to it. So fuck konami.

 

[spindoctor]

5 pence lolwut

This video goes into a bit more detail of Sony's thinking - https://youtu.be/yRZzuTwTEUE

They are providing funding (undisclosed) and doing marketing. Development is all on ysnet

 

[rtcn63]

5 pence lolwut

5 pence none the richer

 

[MMBosstones86]

So this is the 2nd year that Reddit has made a complete joke of Steams Summer game?

Hilarious.

Not like it matters this time around. Everyone gets discounts, Reddit gets a useless badge in addition.

 

[Uzzy]

Capcom streams are back up with SFV footage. They're talking about mechanics and frame data, the chat is asking for the frame data on Chun Li's jiggle.

Gotta love it.

I want an epeen badge.

I want it too! Just saying that Reddit manipulation is basically a non-issue

 

[DXLelouch153]

can someone explain to my why Idle Master isnt working for me?
i know FOR A FACT i still have cards for Axium Verge because ive never played it yet

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

you on the latest version? It worked for me yesterday, though it seems that card drops are taking much longer than what we're used to

 

[Amzin]

I just saw a thread on the Steam subreddit that was saying games will no longer drop cards for the first two hours of play. So that's probably what's going on.

Edit: The reddit thread is actually someone posting jshackles comment from the Steam community: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/idlemastery#announcements/detail/203007488879621804

jshackles knows about this. Said he was gonna test it himself 'cause a couple people mentioned the drops taking hours.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Some of us have been noticing that the cards drops have been pushed back, with the first card dropping around 2 hours. Jshackles mentioned this too.

Okay I'm pretty sure Valve changed the card drop algorithm yesterday. I've been idling almost non-stop since the sale started and have received (on average) about 28-30 cards overnight each night. Last night I received 11 cards.

Most of the games took around 3 hours each to drop all of their cards, so I'm guessing cards didn't drop at all in the first two hours. I'll continue to monitor the situation, but it appears that Valve is trying to prevent people from buying a game, idling the cards, then refunding the game.

hmm ill leave it up for 2 hours and see what happens

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

the +2 hour thing makes complete sense if they're trying to curb refund abuse. Make folks own the game past the point of no return(s), then let the cards fall.

but im just using it to add more funds to buy your games Steam
damn abusers -_-

 

[Vibranium]

Oh well, won't really miss Playfire too much. Maybe they will reconsider if there is a big drop off in people taking part.

Half my rewards never unlocked but they could have tried to improve that system.

[Ruruja]

I got my first Hyperdimension card drop earlier when I hit 2 hours played so it seems to be true, I don't have a problem with it - it makes sense.
