It was gone for a hot minute there, it just showed the Shark Card box and not an option to buy the game.
Actually it's just gone on sale £26
Edit: why do I bother posting when I am always beaten
Yup, they replaced with version with bonus money.
But they forgot to increase base price this time.
I agree Nintendo's might be a better way to do it in theory, obviously I'd rather watch gameplay/trailers over guys talking, but you can't deny the traditional press conference gets more discussion and people watching it.
I watched Sony's E3 conference live at like 3am in UK, and the FF7R and Shenmue III reveals with the crowd going nuts could only be done in that traditional way, that and you won't get all the crazy memes like caffeine guy and Konami's entire 2011 conference, but I guess you don't really care about those either.
Like I said, Nintendo's might be better and they'll all probably end up doing it like that in the future, but it'll be a sad day for me personally when they do. It's part of the circus.

They can't remove GTA V...there are sales coming up and they have to raise the base price by adding Shark Cards then apply the discount so the game is still the same price as before

Im seeing $33.49 USD
You have numbers to back that up?
Nintendo Directs can be made into memes just as easily. Yes you're right that the audience reaction is fun but the biggest reaction to Shenmue 3 came from GT.
Weird. Is there a discount for owning some other Rockstar game?
Rockstar will never remove GFWL from GTAIV
Rockstar will never port Read Dead
Fanto will always talk about PS4 exclusives in PC threads
Gif is also relevant for this post.

Live up to your tag man! Don't stop believin'~~~ hold on to the feeling
Its called reverse psychology.
That's a bit presumptuous to say I don't care about aspects I haven't touched upon regards to live pressers. Look at the two elements you're bring up in Mr Caffeine and Konami's crazy E3 of 2010 and compare them to my bug bear I brought up about specifically Sony's press events. What was my issue with Sony's events and why do they bore me? Because they generally have executives that waffle on about things that would be more apt in an earnings call than Tak Fujii and his 1 million trooops! Surely you can see my issue I raise as to why I'm not interested and don't have to jump to conclusions?

Sony PGW conference is starting.
Let's see what makes the leap to PC or not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdnRDdWu0rM

*Ayumi's annual SteamGAF post*
bruh, that tag is on some next level shit. i dont even anime and I would take that tag anyday.
I thought this was an interesting question (for what it potentially tells us about Steam scores) so I went through most of my library and checked the "candidates" I liked which I expected to be rated somewhat poorly but which I enjoyed. The vast majority of them were positive, quite a few even very positive, and only a scant few mixed. None were mostly negative.
I guess you really have to mess up to arrive at that score.
Nothing concrete, it just generally seems that way, don't you think?
Here's Sony E3 conference thread, Microsoft's and Nintendo's Direct E3 presentation thread, for a quick reference.
Cool, guess I'll pick it up. I've been hankering for something new to play and I doubt that the games I want are going to be on sale for the Halloween Steam sale.

How come none of you are posting in the Paris Sony Games thread?
He lives in a territory where the base price is $50 rather than $60.
That was supposed to extend to Inquisition overall lol
Steam reviews are just broken.
It's simply not possible to have 90% of the whole store be amazing, 8% be so-so and and 2% being crap. It just doesn't work this way.
Also, the fact that it doesn't take into account the number of votes is insane.
A game with one positive review is placed higher than a game with 10k reviews, 94% of them positive.
Wait what? I thought Inquisition was generally well-received, just that it came out at a bad time with other big releases.

just checked, and thats right, the base price is $49.99
And owners of the original CE get the EE CE. I was worried about that for a moment.
Holy shit. Ubi actually remembered to discount Anno 1404 (Dawn of Discovery). They generally forget. https://t.co/koiGYJikE6
No DRM either
Mainstream critics seem to enjoy the game, but the long-term consensus on GAF has been abysmal.
It seems to be extremely shallow game on the series, but if you enjoy Skyrim than there is a good chance you will enjoy this.

Ah. Oh well.
Shame because the Xbox One right now is poorly optimized.
I don't think they are broken, you just need to pay some attention when interpreting them (to both the percentage and the number of reviews -- or just actually read some of them).

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.
I agree that they're not indicative of actual critical review, as Stump pointed out they're similar to the CinemaScore numbers for movies: the people reviewing games on the store are the same ones that were initially drawn to it for some other reason and spent money on purchasing it.
But it's all weighted (slightly) so that your last statement isn't true. Games with 10k reviews, 94% positive are categorized as "Overwhelmingly Positive" and get a higher "ranking" than games with 1 positive review. With one positive review, a game is simply "Positive" (such as this example at present). This is even farther below "Very Positive" (such as this game with 10,000 reviews at 89%).
They aren't broken at all. A game having "mostly positive" ranking doesn't mean that it's a 10/10 game. It means that most people have a positive opinion on it. Which how a review system should work, not on a branding of "hey this game is overall a 77/100 because reasons".
And your second argument is factually wrong. It does take into account the number of votes. A game with one positive review does not rank higher than a game with 10k revies (94% positive)
That's actually really tempting.
To be fair, that line could apply to damn near any game in existence.
It's a miracle! Buying before they screw it up.
RUMOR: Someone is claiming Humble Bundle showed them what games they were getting when they signed up for the Humble Bundle Monthly
