I am rating up everyone that has. Also gifted it to my brother and a friend. SPREAD THE LOVE

Yeah its great. The only reason I don't have chronicles yet on steam is that I 100% it on PSP. I'll double dip eventually but I can wait for a 75% off in a next sale.

So, I asked earlier but no one responded. How similar is it to the Master System version? Which I think is just Ys 1? I guess I'm about to bite if it's just the first two games, with nicer graphics.

 

[scottzorus]

Just played the demo of Ys Origin with a controller and wasn't liking it until I put always dash on and Hold attack to use special

Now all three games will magically end up in my steam library

 

[Salsa]

I have now 60 games. Jesus...

 

[wetflame]

Fez is technically a daily deal, even though it's on for three days, right? I can't see it going lower. Will wait until tomorrow to see if I still want it anyway.

First two games, cleaner graphical style, you can choose which version's music you want to use and such.

 

[YianGaruga]

I have now 60 games. Jesus... I should stop buying stuff but then again... Levels...

Level 7 now just 3 more for 10 >_>

I thought about stopping at 500.

I didn't.

 

[OverBlood 3]

Played 8 hours of Dark Souls, never really found it difficult it was really engaging what I played of it but once I saw the game was opening up quite a lot I just felt overwhelmed by the lack of direction. Which is nice that I'm not being forced up one way but I just couldn't be bothered anymore.

I might get back to it, the combat is brilliant by the way.

Two days. But yes, daily deal, buy it.

 

[Volcynika]

I didn't.

Just look at Xelios' library if you want to feel better about your own.

Read the key features on the store page, it explaines the upgrades well. It's mostly extra soundtrack remixes and redone artwork.

 

[Papercuts]

Impulse bought Ys. Don't fail me gaf.

 

[intheinbetween]

I have now 60 games. Jesus

I remember those days...

 

[antitrop]

Just found out about a game called La-Mulana today. Waiting for it to go 75% off, looks amazing.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

I have now 60 games. Jesus... I should stop buying stuff but then again... Levels...

Level 6 now just 4 more for 10 >_>

I don't remember when I had 60 games =/

 

[Volcynika]

Impulse bought Ys. Don't fail me gaf.

I&II? If the gameplay style doesn't jive with you, keep in mind Origin and Felghana use a different system.

 

[zkylon]

look at all the health I had left lol is this game for babies

drake sword makes all your comments null

Ah, thanks! That actually sounds really nice, guess I'm gonna get it!

 

[PixyJunket]

Okay so those trading card bots are ostensibly useless for the duration of the summer sale, I'm guessing.

"You are in position 208 of 222."

Yeah, how about no?

 

[YianGaruga]

It's extremely unique and fun, but also hard and unfair.
Definitely try it for yourself.

 

[scottzorus]

YES!
Been on my wishlist for a while, waiting for a daily/flash.
Even if it doesn't though, I'll get it before the sale ends with it being half off

I would recommend really playing it with a walkthrough after maybe the 2nd or 3rd area...

There are parts no one could ever figure out themselves, I think. The walkthrough I used even said something like "I needed to translate some of the japanese ones, because I didnt know how to progress".

 

[r3n4ud]

Good! Now, impulse buy the other Ys's.

 

[Whools]

Level 6 now just 4 more for 10 >_>

I think I had like 30 at the start of June, thanks to a run of good humble bundles and this sale, I'm sitting at 70. I don't even have a desktop, and my laptop can barely run half my games.

 

[Tenrius]

I was out of steam and gaf a couple of months for my work and man the new system of steam of cards, levels, experience, etc. Is too much in a very bad way, requires too much time and money

Before was just buy games and don't play it and with the sales was just little games or achievements

Requires too much money? On the contrary, it makes you money.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

It's stupid that there is no mention on the front page of Ys OiF en Origin also being a flash sale. Most people will just pick up Chronicles, hate the old school systems and don't give the others a chance.

 

[Vazra]

Emma Watson give me 1k for the steam sales. That for you its pocket change afterall.

So true...

Yeah, they need like an Ys franchise image or something.

 

[Anoregon]

I hope Dark Souls wins the current vote, I'd love to snag it for under $10. I'm hoping it does, since XCOM was just on sale for the community vote price and I dunno how popular hitman is.

 

[wetflame]

Two days. But yes, daily deal, buy it.

Oh, I think it spans three days for me because of my time zone. I have it on the 360 already so have the luxury of waiting for future seasonal sales, trying to limit purchases to what credit I can make from selling cards and that, stick mostly to indies I'm interested in around the £5 and under mark. I just got back into PC gaming so have a bunch of the bigger games on console already.

 

[Papercuts]

I&II? If the gameplay style doesn't jive with you, keep in mind Origin and Felghana use a different system.

Yup, 1+2 Chronicles+. I know nothing about any of these games! Didn't realize there were other ones, lol.

Yes, I would recommend going in completely blind at first. Try to figure stuff out, the beginning is doable. Later on, before you get frustrated, look at a guide to see what your next move should be.

The game is very open, the world isn't small and some off the puzzles are really impossible to solve unless you acidentally stumble on the solution with trial and error.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

It is recommended for new players to start with Ys Oath in Felghana. They are all great games though, but the first two can feel pretty outdated.

 

[YianGaruga]

This made me think.
How much would you think it would cost to buy EVERYTHING on Steam right now, while it is on sale?

 

[Timedog]

Outdated how? 16 bit games are the best.

 

[Volcynika]

The gameplay and needing to bump with fury has turned some people off in the past.

 

[dave is ok]

Trouble in Terrorist Town is pretty neat. I still have no idea what I'm doing 90% of the time though

 

[DukeBobby]

Voted for Hitman: Absolution, but only because Dark Souls and XCOM have already been on sale.

If it wins, don't buy it. It's a sorry excuse for a Hitman game.

EDIT: Unless you've never played a Hitman game before. In which case, play Blood Money.

I had to ditch out for work and have no steam access so I'll miss the other two if it's a flash deal. Oh well, I'll try later.

 

[The Return of]

WTF thank you because I didn't even get an email about that....Glad I came into this thread. Time to buy all 3 even though I own OiF and YS1 and 2 on PSP lol

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Outdated how? 16 bit games are the best.

The combat consists of: run into the enemy in an angle or from the back It's more fun than it sounds however.

 

[DaBoss]

How is Antichamber?

 

[Gbraga]

I want FTL, but I would have absolutely no idea of what I'm doing, is it too hardcore?

 

[fluffydelusions]

Off to do controller shopping. Wired or wireless 360 controller hmmm

 

[UnluckyKate]

Voted for Hitman: Absolution, but only because Dark Souls and XCOM have already been on sale.

I never played any hitman. It looks like a fun 7$... whatever game it is, game.

 

[legacyzero]

LMFAO exactly what I was thinking hahaha

AMATEURS! :lol

 

[zephervack]

Really glad to see that Call of Duty is not in the top 5 of popularity, silly discounts , ohh Acti

 

[oipic]

Just watched a few videos and did some reading about Under the Ocean - looks very promising (official site here, has lots of videos and a rather interesting development roadmap).

I may pick this up before the sale is done, I think.

Games!

 

[DukeBobby]

If you've never played a Hitman game before, you'll probably like it. It's a decent stealth game.
