I hope Far Cry 4 isn't actually Far Cry 3-2. But it's totally gonna be Far Cry 3-2.

I played some Dark Souls last night after being entrenched with 2 for the last few weeks. It really slapped me in the face how much better 1 feels and just how stiff and sluggish your actions are in 2.

 

[Sub Zero]

There are no RU-specific ARMA subs.

So I guess there aren't any cheap RU versions for these games, since they are so expensive on the gray market

 

[Stallion Free]

Brb, goin' to the alternate dimension where there weren't a ton of shitty games released on Steam prior to greenlight.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Hrmm not getting my gift e-mails or receipts right now. /:

There were considerably less being added than now though.

ARMA 3 is priced more or less identically across all regions but the earlier games are cheaper.

Guys, something odd is going on with my steam library. Every time I boot it up in grid view, various titles revert to icons in grey boxes instead of the normal art grids for each game.

It's messing me up, OCD wise ...

It's a bug apparently which I have as well. Beta version fixes it so I've heard but I'm just going to wait for the official update.

 

[TheLetdown]

For some reason, using TF2 Outpost or the Dota one to trade items and keys for items and keys feels legit. Doing it for a game felt off.

I'm not saying it's wrong to do, mind you. I just couldn't shake a shitty feeling, which had nothing to do with the fine Eastern European gentleman I traded with. He was pretty straight up about it all.

 

[Tizoc]

As an arab I read right to left, same goes with charts like these. Glad to see their quality has also increased~

 

[inm8num2]

Hey, having more choices is always good. : ) The quality titles will rise to the top while the poor ones will sink into well-deserved obscurity (except for "so bad its good" games like Bad Rats). Some people are panicking over the floodgates opening like they have, but I think things'll be alright.

My concern is that it's not just the poor games that will sink into obscurity, but possibly also the good games that don't quite have the budgets/marketing/awareness of the most popular/AAA games.

 

[Nabs]

DayZ is $25.49 (15% off)

 

[Pachimari]

I feel like I'm in gaming nirvana.

Currently playing Dark Souls 1, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Gone Home, Max Payne 3 and Papers Please, while I have still to play Demon's Souls, Catherine, Pokémon Y on all those other formats, and I haven't completed Persona 4: Golden yet.

Not to name Crysis, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, Dust, Fez, Super Meat Boy and Stalker: SoC which I have all put aside at the moment.

Games is at a high. Love it.

By the way, SOE's doing another stream of H1Z1 in less than half an hour.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

There were considerably less being added than now though.

I'd say it's the same, just more of everything. I mean, there was a time there where a lot of great indie games were coming out and I remember crossing my fingers and hoping for a steam version. These days, it's become more and more of an exception if a popular PC game isn't released on steam. So, instead of wondering "hey, i really wish gemini rue was on steam" now it's more like "man, i can't wait till X game is on sale/in a bundle" or "boy, EA sure is stupid, huh?"

 

[Volcynika]

You guys should pick up 140 on the Humble sale. It came out around the same time as Electric Super Joy, but unlike that game I really enjoyed 140. It stands out from the large amount of indie sidescrollers with pumping electronic music, at least to me.

Watch this trailer:

140 was ok, didn't really stand out too much for me overall. The 'hard' version of the last level can fuck right off though.

Good point.

 

[MUnited83]

So...it increased? Nice.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

$1.39 for Pat & Mat, really? Glad I put a copy aside when it was $.69.

I guess next time I'll have to go to the trouble of relabelling the entire graph!

 

[Gianni Merryman]

"The Stanley parable" 50% off?
I feel enticed.

 

[fantomena]

Meh.

 

[Pachimari]

"The Stanley parable" 50% off?

I considered it too. But isn't there a high chance it'll be 75% during the summer sale?

I'm really thinking of jumping on ARMA 3 now. I really miss my military online shooter. Something that is something else than CSGO, TF2, B4 and CoD. But I guess there's a free weekend coming up.

 

[Arthea]

It would be nice to see steamgaf as community to have more common sense than steam one, but it's probably too much to ask for

Spoiler

ya, I'm talking about hating on VNs, seriously...

The banner for the Bohemia Interactive sale has disappeared.

I can't see any deals on the front page at all, all disappeared

 

[J_Macgrady]

Ok so I'm walking through a marketplace in Sleeping Dogs because I'm doing a favor and I could have sworn one of the salesmen said Cheap Suits like the dude in Rush Hour 2

I burst out laughing. Did anyone encounter this man or did he say something else and I'm bugging out?

 

[Gianni Merryman]

I considered it too. But isn't there a high chance it'll be 75% during the summer sale?

Exactly, it was 50% off during last Winter sale, so it can be reasonably expected that it will be even cheaper eventually.

 

[fantomena]

No, 40%,

 

[JaseC]

-66% is more likely. Games are usually discounted in steps: -25% -> -33% -> -40% -> -50% -> -66% -> -75% -> -80/-85% -> -90%.

 

[Mavromatis]

A board game as daily deal?

 

[Stumpokapow]

-66% is more likely. Games are usually discounted in steps: -25% -> -33% -> -40% -> -50% -> 66% -> -75% -> 80-85% -> 90%.

Punctuated by intermittent bursts of -97% for a few minutes when Valve makes a price error

 

[Gianni Merryman]

No, 40%,

I stand corrected, in fact I was tempted but I resolved to wait for a better deal.

 

[Pachimari]

Exactly, it was 50% off during last Winter sale, so it can be reasonably expected that it will be even cheaper eventually.

No, 40%,

I actually thought it had hit 75% before, bad memory.

 

[Nabs]

Battleblock Theater is cheaper ($9.74 - 35% off) if you own it. I wonder if that extends to people who own CC.

 

[JaseC]

Punctuated by intermittent bursts of -97% for a few minutes when Valve makes a price error

Haha, and of course the occasional -100% or higher that renders the game unpurchasable.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Speaking of VNs, did anyone try World End Economica yet?

 

[Jag]

I stand corrected, in fact I was tempted but I resolved to wait for a better deal.

Me too. I'm still going to wait. The demo was interesting, but its a one trick pony that feels like a HL2 mod.

 

[Arthea]

A board game as daily deal?

Is it any good? I think, I never heard of it.

 

[Dimitri2401]

Is it any good? I think, I never heard of it.

Yes it is. The boardgame is fantastic, and the PC version is quite good too.

Edit: The AI in the game is not so great. The game is clearly designed for multiplayer.

 

[Anteater]

Battleblock Theater is cheaper ($9.74 - 35% off) if you own it. I wonder if that extends to people who own CC.

I read that as Buttock Theater at first glance

 

[ItsGeeMcGee]

What are some good rogue likes you guys would recommend? I've got spelunky, binding of isaac, and rogue legacy and really enjoy that style of game play

 

[fantomena]

When I see how slow 100-500 copies of some games are selling at somewhat good discounts I wonder how GOG sales are in general.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

What are some good rogue likes you guys would recommend? I've got spelunky, binding of isaac, and rogue legacy and really enjoy that style of game play

FTL is a good rogue like, though it's not as action oriented as any of those three.

 

[Sub Zero]

What are some good rogue likes you guys would recommend? I've got spelunky, binding of isaac, and rogue legacy and really enjoy that style of game play

Risk of Rain and FTL

 

[woo and indeed hoo]

FTL and One Way Heroics are well worth a look.

Desktop Dungeons is really enjoyable (it's also on sale right now). FTL and Risk of Rain are excellent games too.

 

[Zeeman]

Ahahaha this Banner Saga Humble Bundle

 

[YianGaruga]

Banner Saga bundle is real and also a joke.

 

[Sub Zero]

I don't see why anybody would expect Banner Saga to go below $15...

 

[Tizoc]

Somebody explain that bundle for me because if the base game is $15 then I'll wait for the Summer Sale.

 

[TheLetdown]

What are some good rogue likes you guys would recommend? I've got spelunky, binding of isaac, and rogue legacy and really enjoy that style of game play

Risk of Rain!

Also, FTL if you haven't already jumped on it. I'm a pretty big fan of Desktop Dungeons, too, but as it's depth grows, it begins to play more like a puzzler.

If you have iOS, I've got a few more recommendations for you. Love me some roguelikes, man.

Edit: Beaten! Even got beaten on the Desktop Dungeons thing, and I thought I was the only dude around here into it.
