All of them. I'm idling 6 games atm.

Didn't think of that. I'm dumb.

 

[ShizWhiz]

BUY IT (and starve)

Do they still give you a second copy? I still have mine sitting in my inventory gathering dust doing nothing.

 

[NingenJanai]

Okay unrelated question, do you guys know of any game on Steam where you can run a business? A simulation game if you will.

Vegas make it big, but I think it's not very good, you might enjoy it though, and it's very cheap.

 

[Big_Al]

It's competent. It has nothing to do with the Ridge Racer franchise outside of the label though. Gameplay wise, it has arcade handling, but it was developed by BugBear so don't expect the typical RR mechanics. It feels like a game BugBear would make. The developers did add destructible environment mechanics that change the map or damage your enemies. The editor is versatile enough that you can make some hilarious maps too.

Yeah it's very much a BugBear game at heart. I loved it because of this and had a great time but FlatOut remains their best franchise. Ultimate Carnage is so damn good.

Pfft, I'm not voting for Mirror's Edge. I already bought it yet never played it three sales ago. I was watching the trailer for L4D2 contemplating buying it when I notice it says "You already own Left 4 Dead 2" at the bottom of the screen. Man, I love Steam. Now all I need is like three months of no work.

 

[DrTeflon]

So... about this modbot thing, I dont have a lot of posts on this thread but I wanna give out some games, can I still join the fun?

Yes, everyone can create giveaways.

On top of the other recommended games, Recettear isnt really a simulation game, but still somehow fits the description and has a lot of charme.

Being at work means I can't idle for cards all day. What game should I leave idle while at work?

I almost bought it but I remembered it was the low-violence version. Valve needs to resubmit it to Australia again

 

[flotsam]

oh poop, I just bagged SR3 for £5 thinking how clever I was and now I see that it is available for £6.24 with all DLC...

I've heard that the DLC isn't particularly good, but it's probably not £1.24 terribad

 

[Jintor]

I can't believe Cook Serve Delicious is still bloody stuck in greenlight.

Just get it gifted from someone outside of Australia? That's what we Germans do

Try Capitalism 2. It also has a demo:

Its literally about running a business and is used for management simulation workshops and competitions. Its as complex as it could possibly get however, so be warned.

Prison Architect, Euro Truck Simulator 2.

Thanks for the recommendations guys, will probably check out Prison Architect since I have heard good things about it. A bummer that there haven't been good business simulation games in a while (although it seems Game Dev Tycoon will launch soon on Steam)

Woah! Can I trade you for it?

Thanks !

I voted for GTAIV, as I haven't played a game in the series before.

 

[ShizWhiz]

Would that actually work with activating it in the library? If so, I'd consider buying it.

Yes, a few keys are region locked (VPN is your friend) but gifting is no problem, once you have a game in your inventory it's a done deal. As long as it's not from Russia, then it can get complicated.

 

[Ogedai_Khan]

I voted GTA IV. Most people probably own Portal 2 already.

 

[Mengy]

DAMNIT, woke up to see Civ V on the flash sale. I already own it with G&K, but the gold upgrade is now $5? I don't have any of that except for G&K itself. And Brave New World is now 33% off?



Yeah, I know the sale rules, but I'm not waiting anymore. I need to play BNW, and this is an acceptable deal for me to do so.




Might as well upgrade to gold for $5 too and get all of those other civilizations, lol.

brave new world is a daily, you're going by the rules

 

[Metalmurphy]

I've been trying to buy games for like an hour and the damn cart keeps resetting. I pay a transaction fee on my card so I'm not gonna be buying games individually.

Fix this shit Gabe!

 

[Caerith]

Okay unrelated question, do you guys know of any game on Steam where you can run a business? A simulation game if you will.

Recettear. You play a girl who has inherited her father's massive debts, so you open an shop to try to raise enough money for your weekly payments to a predatory loan shark.

 

[Deleted member 98878]

Just get it gifted from someone outside of Australia? That's what we Germans do

So, this works? When someone outside of Germany would gift me e.g. Saints Row 3 I would get the uncut version?

Correct. Other way around, be careful when you gift games to others from Germany.

Game Name -- MB-E3713DEB91041DCD - Taken by Darkroronoa

That "Game Name" there should be Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II: Retribution. If it doesnt work pleease let me know. This is a steam gift, not a key.

 

[Alien Bob]

Game Name is probably my favorite game ever

 

[CmdBash]

hope they do another dark souls flash sale, missed out by a little bit on the last one.

 

[Rickenslacker]

I can't believe Cook Serve Delicious is still bloody stuck in greenlight.

Greenlight is suffering.

It will likely be a daily.

 

[derExperte]

WHAT? For how long? I'm at work right now and I wanted to get BNW for myself and whatever else I can get for my uncle.

Exactly 6hrs remaining.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

no, they sell a two pack though. are you sure you didn't buy a 2 pack?

 

[Toma]

6 hours left.

They should add card drops to voting for stuff on Greenlight.

I wouldn't be surprised if it makes it's rounds onto the Daily deals eventually, it's always such a popular game in sales.

Hey thanks

But the link did not work It was a link to the store page!

 

[PriitV]

Shit, that should be enough time for me though. Thanks a lot for the info. Can I buy something as a present and gift it 24 hours later?

You can buy everything you want and store them in your inventory for gifting.

 

[Zero-Crescent]

Okay unrelated question, do you guys know of any game on Steam where you can run a business? A simulation game if you will.

I've heard that Railroad Tycoon 3 gets pretty deep into business and economics. Don't know how well it runs on modern PCs though, being a game from 2003 and all.

Of course. If you can't make it I could buy it for you btw.

I have my opinion on Game Name, and you have yours... let's just leave it at before you derail the thread with your crazy anti-Game Name ramblings

 

[KuroNeeko]

If you can stomach the low resolution for the older Geneforge and Avernum games, they are among the best RPGs (sorry for the hyperbole, but.. its true) that arent Infinity Engine games. Especially the Geneforge series is a favourite of mine with a huge map, lots of loot and hidden secrets, an engaging summoning system, oldschool challenging situations, focus on player decisions (fight? talk? sneak?), multiple endings and great lore.



Avadon is a bit dumbed down in comparison to these series, but looks prettier/is more accessible. As I said, technical issues aside (resolution), they are hundreds of hours of complex roleplaying fun for 3 bucks. Ridiculous price considering he sold those games individually for 20€ each a few years ago.

Gospel of St. Toma.

If you're an old skool RPG fan and don't mind older graphics you can't go wrong with buying this bundle.

 

[Deleted member 98878]
