Hey Steam GAF. So I finished building my first PC this week (perfect timing with the Steam sale, eh?) and I've started work on my PC games collection. As the sale is about to come to a close, based on what I already own/don't own, can anyone make any recommendations for must-have games I should pick up?

Here's what I have so far:

Where is your Doto mate? Or why are you hiding it from us?

Pick Alien Isolation and Valkyria. Alan Wake is usually a very cheap and entertaining game that plays well on PC. I don't know how powerful is your rig, but these aren't really hungry games.

The Steam equivalent of the drunk friend who keeps offering to pay your tab all night.
oh yeah I forgot I said to myself early in the sale "I'd get Massive Chalice at 50%, really want to play it" and there it is.
Now im not so sure lol

Also no Dark Souls huh?

I have the exact same thing. Really wanted to get it at the start of the sale. Now, not so sure. I think I'd rather get Ori.
 
What's the best zombie game that's focused on single player story?
I've been ignoring them all these years and now I'm kinda overwhelmed there are so many zombie games on Steam.

Welcome to PC gaming.

I would recommend:

The Witcher (all of them, as they're amazing)
Vampire Bloodlines (you'll need to install a few unofficial patches and some mods)
Alpha Protocol
Knights of the Old Republic 1&2
Deus Ex & Deus Ex Human Revolution
Dark Souls 1&2
Pillars of Eternity
Divinity Original Sin
Dragon Age Origins (lol I wrote series instead of Origins...)

And moving away from RPGs:
Alan Wake
Max Payne 1&2
Grim Fandango
Monkey Island 1&2
The Longest Journey (and if you like it, then Dreamfall and Dreamfall Chapters)

Probably Dying Light, assuming the yesteryear REs are out due to their stronger focus on survival horror.

Went to sleep for 5h, everyone elses room moved 20-30m, mine moved 5m....
Well, at least now I'll have more WH and LN for the new day right?

Not a huge fan of RE (too linear), and Dying Light still full-priced.
How about 2010-2013 games? Pretty sure those'll be on sale right now.

Narrative-driven zombie games aren't exactly common. Dead Rising comes to mind, but Capcom isn't known for its storytelling prowess.

Okay. My room hit the 100m a bit ago. Managed to join Deques and Grief.exe in 47100.


I'll just leave the scripts running over night. Hopefully 100m is attainable. Night.

I read somewhere that this run will be longer, is this true?

I've spent about $50 this sale. I don't think I've spent that much since summer sale 2011.

Troll scripts are too strong.

There are no more Monster Deals, but the game itself was given a stay of execution and will now run until 9am on the 22nd (i.e. an hour before the sale ends).

it'll keep running from now until that time or will there be a reset and start over again?

bUT CAN i still buy Mighty #9 for $12 and redeem it a-OK?

Yes. That's my point -- games that were restricted to South American users are still restricted to South American users and games that were available to international users are still available to international users. Nothing has changed.

Ah but Jase.
if I am finally able to buy them via Paypal, with their Paypal charging directly from the card.
Then that changes
EVERYTHING
for me
 
I ran into the bug that doesn't let you access your badges page but redirects you to your profile. Looking around the internet this one is pretty old but still exists for several people.

The funny thing is, it's fixed by interacting with someone on your friendslist. Sending a message or initiating a trade and then checking the badges page works, until it screws up again. How does that even work? volvo pls

Is there a way to sort games by offer now on Nuveem?

Seems the new layout is still being rolled out.
You get an error for searching even for a game that's on their front page.

Give it some time for them to iron stuff out and you should be able to use the search better.

If you have your CC saved to your PayPal account as a funding source, you can switch to it on the confirmation page.
