Black Mirror Bundle: https://www.indiegala.com/mirror
Metro Redux bundle for $10 and Valkyria Chronicles for $5 are the two best deals from yesterday's sale I'd say.

We don't know if there is one.
Other retailers don't usually put out their best deals during the steam sale. Although we might see some E3 promotions this year, since they overlap.

No idea, it's ok and yes for VH 1 and 2 and maybe wait for VH3, it's buggy and incomplete. Released way to soon.

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.
It's about to be 8:30 pm here.

.WWAUT - Melee Improvements
With E3 only days away, many players are working out the best way to stream the content they want to consume. We strongly recommend that you tune in at http://www.twitch.tv/pcgamer for the inaugural PC Gaming Show on Tues June 16th at 6PM PST. It's literally a LIVE E3 version of WWAUT! Now with that out of the way, let us talk about bringing a knife to a gunfight.
Over the past few weeks, the melee system has been getting some extra enhancement. As noted previously weve been watching what players are doing as well as listening to their requests. Now change is underway and we would like to walk you through the highlights of what we are doing to improve the systems.
In the current live build, when a user hits the bash key, it uses an existing attack. No more! Now this key will have its own unique function. A few examples:
- Perk Knife - a new fast stabbing attack
- Katana - execute a powerful stab
- Pulverizer - push back that group of foes that is in your face
We have also been making enhancements to the parry system. We saw that some players were confused about when they had successfully parried (vs stumbled) so now each zed has a different animation for each state. Weve also flagged some zed attacks to be non parryable (but to help, these attacks now have a tell so keep an eye out!).
Blocking is also being refined. The next iteration of blocking will allow players to move at normal speed while blocking (where right now they are slowed down during the blocking state). Players will also now see hit reactions to give feedback to them that they are blocking (and taking mitigated damage).
Those systems are currently live in our latest dev build and under heavy testing and feedback from the staff (and we may continue to make changes and tweaks before they make it into public hands). Also as part of this undertaking we are working to improve the parry system so it works more consistently online (this is still prototype work and may not make a near future update).
And while it is not quite ready to show yet, we have just approved the new perk skill tree for the Zerker skill tree (having redesigned it from the ground up). As the new tree comes online in the dev build and we have vetted it we will be providing more details.
One final thing for those players who have been upset that they couldnt wear both their hat (to protect their heads of course!) and their shades (pure cool), we have made an enhancement to the player character system that will allow this!

What the heck is WWAUT?
Reading comprehension isn't that hard.

Ugh, so far got to say I'm actually not enjoying Bloodborne, seems quite grindy to begin with at least, and I've never felt the Souls games to be grindy >_>

A few months ago, can't remember the exact date.
Come on Ubisoft, put your classic titles on daily!
Oh man. The buyers remorse setting in quickly.

Personally I'm liking it more than what I've played of the Souls games. I'm actually enjoying it because it's grindy. As a result, I feel like I'm actually making progress because I'm seeing meaningful changes in my stats rather than just dying over and over again and getting frustrated.

I find myself grinding enemies for health potions alot cos the health system is so different in this game.
Considering I barely play my PS4 as it is, yeah.
I'm only at the second boss so far, but her's kicking my ass, but looking online for tips, it seems I am underlevelled, and the advice given was grind enemies and level up. I never found this to be a problem in Souls, so it's frustrating.

Got to level 320 in the game. What an awesome and dedicated team I had. I did contribute by firing a few nukes through the day.
I expected gem prices to crash when people figured out that they'll probably never be useful again. I was wrong, as usual. Prices did dip a little bit but that's all.
In the middle of the Steam sale I ended up spending money on overpriced amiibos so you're still doing better than me.
This event sucks

Is the game more linear in nature? Because in souls games you can always go back and try tackling another area if you find the current one to be too much of a challenge.

I'll definitely pick up the original Vegas if it hits a daily or flash sale. I played that casino level from the demo a million times with a friend on the original Xbox. We had codewords for every section of the level and everything.

Congrats to your pre-birthday! That is pretty sweet of you.
I'm disqualified by one day but good luck to you all!
Woah. Truly great times now that usually console games are coming to PC more and more.
Never played Monster Hunter, so I am interested. So soon even!
Good deals soon gone.
For now nothing for me though.
jshackles prepared for this better than Valve did.. Shame.I must say that jshackles really made sure that Enhanced Steam works good during the sale
