Steam Summer Sale 2013 Thread #2 - Many questions answered in the OP's FAQ

So how's Assassin's Creed 3 as my first Assassin's Creed? I played a little of it and the climbing impressed me, and I feel like starting it for real. I know it's not nearly the best AC, but all the climbing and stabbing stuff is still novel to me and I want to see more of it, but not enough to actually go and buy 2/Brotherhood/Revelations.

Asking this because I got it for the 360 for cheap but haven't touched it yet, screw you steam thread
Since you already have it I say give it a go, the initial sections are friendly to people who never played an AC before. Chances are you'll enjoy it but the story will be mostly garbage, so read a summary of what's going on if you care about that. It's far from the best game in the series but it's worth a playthrough to see if it clicks with you.
 
Pretty sure these weren't dailies:

Clive Barker's Jericho™
The Last Remnant™
Dungeons of Dredmor
Overlord Complete Pack
Garshasp: Temple of the Dragon
Blocks That Matter
McPixel
Bad Rats: the Rats' Revenge
Time Gentlemen, Please! and Ben There, Dan That! Special Edition Double Pack
Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition
Iron Warriors: T - 72 Tank Command


:p
To be fair everyone should buy Bad Rats: the Rats' Revenge regardless of price.

What's the deal with wallet funding from selling cards?

I've sold 4 cards today for the first time, and only the money from one of them has gone into my wallet.

Edit: I see the transactions with 'Wallet Credit' in my account, but not reflected in my wallet balance.

Should i pick up KSP? I played one of the free version a while back and liked it, but i don't know if i'd stick with it long enough.

It's awesome. But if the demo didn't grab you I'd watch a few youtube vids first to make sure it's for you. I personally have sunk probably 40 hours into in the last couple weeks. Keep in mind that it's an early build too, they'll be adding more stuff to do to the game as we approach release.

Yeah, not only that, but they're probably the people most eager to jump back into OTs when they see them bumped :p
That's actually a really good point. It happens with pretty much every OT. Subscriptions make a difference, too, since all the people who refused to stick with the game would have tuned out long before.

When I see the art style, I don't see furries. I see this:

I feel sorry for anyone who can't look at this:

Exactly, maybe it's just a younger generation that has problems with the Dust artstyle, but I grew up with the anthropomorphic Disney cartoon characters and Dust is absolutely wonderful.
 
I kinda wanna jump on Mirror's Edge, but I'm over budget as it is. I knew saying "that's it for this sale" would come back to haunt me. :lol

I've never bought Terraria before but I was waiting for a PSN discount since it has trophies. However, for $2.49 on Steam, it seems like I can't pass it up. Does the PC version have anything different that the console versions don't?

If you want I can gift it you for 1.13£, cheaper than individual. It's in my inventory now. That's less than 2$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, come on. Dust clearly has furry DNA in its art style.

I'll still buy it because it looks like it plays great. I assure you I will only play it when no one else can see the monitor though.

This is difficult. Mirror's Edge is one of my favorite games ever. However, I'm also a huge fan of frugality/budgeting. I'm pulled in two different directions trying to decide to recommend it to you or not.

Dust doesn't seem to be doing that well. In the 80's in the Top Seller list. #21 at under $10, edged by the masterpiece War Z.

Time to post that awesome avatar pic again :3

I can't do it myself fellow GAFfer. It would be a respost, people would call it spam and then I would be Banned! :(

I just feel happy to give something back. It's great to check on people's wishlists and then get them something. Felt good.
 
Does it really matter that Dust has a furry artstyle? Enjoying this great game won't suddenly turn you into a furry against your will or something.

Yeah, was mostly just teasing you about not waiting for the dailies on those super cheap indie games. :p
You picked up some great games.

It was an interesting stylistic choice because it heavily contrasts with the very dark story involving a species wide genocide.

I'll stick with what I said yesterday. There's bound to be some more games I really want but couldn't remember to put on my wish list, too.

I'll buy it during the Winter Seal, once this backlog clears up. Maybe if I'm lucky I'll be able to snag it during a giveaway here.

Yo someone convince me to buy dust.

As one of the members to have gotten and played through Dust, I can tell you that it is an engaging Metroidvania with a powerful combo system and move list upgrades. Progression is gradual and relaxing but there is a bit of backtracking. Not a fan of the Furry content in it but it did not deter me from the games playability. Luckily you could skip the talking scenes with the furries. Actually I did not mind the furries as much as the voice casting choices with the npc's cultural differences were driving me up the wall.

You are incredible dude. Your generosity and outlook make me feel good.

But your upside down avatar makes me feel uneasy.
