Agreed, except trading cards have given us free money so its essentially a free games sale assuming you idle cards.

That wouldn't be the worst, that would put it equal with the last few years.

Thats why the rumors say you might get invited to the beta or sth. like that.
I doubt it now that we are days away from the sale. I would assume they would roll out something like that via a beta of some kind first.
Tho it is Valve. I can see them releasing a broken client to everyone and watch the world burn while store page gets hammered during the sale. It could be up there with the gems nonsense they botched a few years back lol.

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.
This would all be configured on the user side, so a user would have to enter the phishing link into their options and then subsequently click on it - the only dynamic data it would pass to said site would be your SteamID64 (the long string of characters at the end of your Steam permalink). The custom links are also disabled by default so a user would have to go through multiple steps in order to accidentally phish themselves.
That sounds risky.

Random request but anyone around today to give me a hand with a RE5 level? I'm going through it for the first time on PC after rinsing it out years ago on 360, but I forgot how fucking awful Sheva's AI is.
I'm in the refinery bit with the ziplines and the chainsaw dudes, and she just keeps getting stuck on geometry and being instakilled.

I'm excited for the summer sale
A lot of games I've passed on that I need to grab. Trails in the Sky and Zero Escape: The Nonary Games are at the top of the list. I thought The Nonary Games was priced a little high on release so hopefully it'll be much better off now.
Though a small part of me wants to ignore the sale and grab new releases like Valkyrie Drive and Ultra Despair Girls.

Oh, er, that works way differently than I thought. I was envisioning people stumbling onto the Steam profile of someone they're chatting to, clicking the link in that other person's profile, and then visiting stork.steampovvered or something.
Not familiar with Silent Storm, but their reaction turns are being overhauled with XCOM 2's War of the Chosen expansion. It'll only occur if the turn is used in their line of sight, rather than universally. And then the expansion's Chosen will then take the universal reaction turns, unless I'm misremembering.
And yeah, the reaction turns completely change the way you operate. I've only encountered the super aliens as the last pod in a mission (maybe that's intentional, now that I think of it), but it's turned traditional cover-to-cover gameplay into something where the more important thing is where they are, not where you are. You basically have to ignore regular aliens to make anything work, otherwise the super aliens will outmaneuver and eliminate everyone.
It's super frustrating, but super cool. I can't think of another game that shakes up its rules so fundamentally while still remaining functional.
A little bird told me that Valve was toying with the idea of tying the beta into a meta-game in some manner. First-wave access shortly after the sale ends would make the most sense, assuming the client is far enough along.

Oh yeah nope that would be quite dangerous. Whatever you personally set here will only be visible to you and won't affect other users.
For example, there was this popular pull request that requested barter.vg be added to the custom profile links section. But after looking at the site, it looked like it was only in use by about 10,000 users which wouldn't be applicable to a large percentage of Steam (or even Enhanced Steam) users. This change would let people who wanted it to add "barter.vg/steam/[ID]" to the custom URL section which would add a barter.vg shortcut to every profile page you visited.
Valve has considered tying a gradual introduction of the client to the summer sale metagame.
So we're going to have mindlessly click a bunch of crap to unlock the client feature by feature?
The pod-reaction system is a whole different kettle of fish. Silent Storm has each material have different HP ratings and states of destruction, so if you machine gun a wall (you can aim at anything) it will eventually make a little hole to shoot/see through before collapsing all the way.
Reactions in Silent Storm are just a skill check to see if you spot each other and then if you both do another one for who goes first.
Lol, fuck that shit.
Sorry, by gradual I mean in waves. It wouldn't roll out for everyone at the same time.

Still on Binding of Isaac Rebirth...
I'm glad I got it. Played it for 15 minutes and it just feels so much better than the flash version... I get the feeling that this time I'll be able to enjoy the game. Thanks, guys!

Has anyone ever used a controller for binding of isaac? I feel like it would be hard with the 4 way shooting.

I hope they do, would love a meta-game, if only just for the nostalgia.
I played a lot of games I never would during the treasure hunt? meta. It was a lot of fun. But now with SAM and other hacks it is pointless
They made 10 games worth of the same routine.

I wanted to check the ranking of the games which you mention (maybe their Wilson score is lower, but their popularity score would make them appear in the ranking), but I got banned from SteamDB for
I should have foreseen this. So, well, it is not possible, I guess.
For what it is worth, this is the list of about a thousand games sorted by "hidden gem" quality, which is basically the first 1000 top rated games from SteamDB sorted differently. So the games which you suggested cannot appear there.
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/...6e5930406ad5ea8868d9b438e725b/hidden_gems.txt
SSR is 239th. Maybe a gem, but not so hidden...
Edit: With clickable links: https://gist.github.com/woctezuma/0b2213ca75e0116fd7e2188b0f17b3da
probably best decision ever since they were able to make those games annually

you just need to pull through until Revelations where the real game starts with the Tower Defence mode
What's the difference?

True. Man hunting for those coal lumps was great, while I only got some items for TF2/Portal 2, it was still fun.

Wasn't Alan Wake supposed to get delisted on Steam? The store page is still alive.
Looks like you can't buy the game but you still can the DLC
I played the original with keyboard, but with Rebirth I have only played with a pad, it is much better. Like Nabs said you use the face buttons to shoot in different direction and it works perfectly.
Oh on another note, that VN Humble Bundle has to be the closest I have ever seen beat the average be to the top tier
back in time for the steam sale :O

Ah, you're right. Didn't see the buy button being removed.
The Director's Cut has additional mission types for getting information about the targets.
It adds 3 or 4 different activities to the information missions, instead of being the same one activity for the entire game.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
FOMO culture is bad for your health. You don't need to experience everything. You especially don't need to experience all of the same thing, either.

II is the best. You can stop after it.
I played II and Brotherhood back when they released and loved the settings. Anyway, I just wanna be able to say "I've beaten at least one Ass Creed game!"
