Support NeoGAF

[Meizzner]

Hey guys, how much was The Swapper when it was on sale? I think that's honestly the only game I'm missing from the sale. Hope it comes back.

i think Swapper was $7.49.

 

[Nymphae]

How is Infestation? I was going to gift that for a friend who likes L4D, but I have no idea what this is like.

 

[derExperte]

Singularity isn't going to be a daily/flash, isn't it? Bought quite a lot but my wishlist hasn't become much smaller.

 

[dave is ok]

War Z is #11 and climbing. It'll be #1 shortly

 

[MikeDown]

How in the world is Van Helsing 20 gigs?

 

[Cth]

OK here, this is the best I can do to sell the game to you.

I got to create my own trucking company which of course I named NeoGAF, and once I start hiring drivers I'm going to start naming them after GAF personalities. I'll be able to send Wario64 on a trip all the way to Poland, maybe send Evilore back to Spain so he can try again to get some ass there. Stump you're going to be on my crew too.

If this doesn't sell you nothing will.

You need to add DukeBobby and have him deliver lab rats everywhere

Bought Euro Truck. Now anyone tried Farm Simulator 2013?

I liked playing Sim Farm, does it have enough farm-ey elements to it or does it only involve driving farm vehicles and doing stupid things with it?

 

[DietRob]

Does euro truck driver support wheel controllers? Can't tell if you guys are trolling about enjoying the game.

It does.

Indeed.

Is he a friend or a 'friend'?
The game is horseshit.

 

[ant_]

Sorry for all the Euro Truck questions, but does it have objectives or is it more of a free-form game?

 

[Ceebs]

So did they ever fix Risen 2? It was a giant clusterfuck of a game when it first came out.

 

[HoosTrax]

I gave up on trusting the Steam estimate long ago. I think they must double the actual download size because they're counting both the amount that must be downloaded to disk, as well as the amount of data generated once the download is uncompressed. Or something.

 

[The One Who Knocks]

Wasn't Blood Dragon like 6 bucks on the second sale day before shooting up for now reason. I would buy at that price. I don't see it on the Dailys today. I guess its on sale due to FC3 being on sale.

According to Enhanced Steam (thank you once again to whoever created it as I know they are on GAF):

"Lowest Price: $8.99 at Steam (Info)
Historical Low: $6.74 at Steam on Fri Jul 12 2013 (Info)"

It is on sale because Far Cry 3 is on sale. While this isn't the lowest it has ever been, it is the daily deal for the sale.
EDIT: I know the redundancy in the parenthesis has already been quote below but I felt compelled to remove it.

 

[phantomspiker]

Bioshock 2 multiplayer beta build entry just updated again.

It wasn't great, but I had some fun with it for a few days.

*edit* btw, thanks for keeping us up to date with this stuff

 

[Gbraga]

How in the world is Van Helsing 20 gigs?

I think it just asks for 20GB because they keep updating the game with content, so they want you to make sure you have that much space in case they end up using it all. They already added some post game dungeons and bosses.

 

[SHarris78]

Pretty sure I've seen vids on youtube of people playing with a wheel.

Also, ain't no trolling going on, the games great!

 

[ReverseFate]

When your character dies in Infestation, you either have to wait an hour to respawn, or pay real money for an immediate respawn. Yeah, fuck this game.

Sigh, why didn't I heed the words of Gaf and avoid this terrible excuse of a game? Three bucks I thought, what could possibly go wrong? NOPE! T__T

It is on sale because Far Cry 3 is on sale. While this isn't the lowest it has ever been, it is the daily deal (as you've pointed out, because FC3 is on sale).

I still don't know the difference between Lowest Price and Historical Low.

 

[Grief.exe]

I seriously think that the Bioshock 2 and Batman:AA/AC conversion are being done by the same company.

How is Infestation? I was going to gift that for a friend who likes L4D, but I have no idea what this is like.

Be a good friend and gift him Killing Floor.

 

[Nymphae]

The game is horseshit.

A friend lol, perhaps I will hold off on that one then.

You're welcome!

And yeah there was a pricing error on Blood Dragon that caused it to go down to $6.74. There was a flash sale on Far Cry 3 at 40% off, but for some reason Blood Dragon was 55% off.

 

[derExperte]

So did they ever fix Risen 2? It was a giant clusterfuck of a game when it first came out.

They stopped patching it two months after release or so. You can complete it just fine, I did and liked it, but it has a lot of little bugs.

 

[HoosTrax]

Why ever would you think it was about doing stupid things with farm vehicles

I'm actually curious about this one as well.

 

[Gbraga]

I still don't know the difference between Lowest Price and Historical Low.

Lowest Price must be where you can get it for the lowest price right now.

 

[Creamium]

Played a bit of Mark of the Ninja and holy shit what an awesome game. I'm not that big on stealth games, but Mark makes being undetected actually fun. The instant checkpoint restart is a plus as well. Good job Klei.

btw, don't think I've dropped my id in the thread, can always use more steam friends

[EmCeeGramr]

Oh thank God my Steam cards came. UPS said they'd probably arrive on the 22nd and I was going to be mad as heck.

 

[jshackles]

I still don't know the difference between Lowest Price and Historical Low.

Lowest price is the lowest currently available price.

Historical low is the lowest price a game has ever been.

 

[Stimpack]

Guys I think Torchlight II might just be a hell of a lot better than the first. Should I buy Torchlight II and wait to get Helsing during the Winter sale?

 

[hom3land]

Euro Truck is great, everyone should buy it!

When I was stationed in Italy all the truck drivers had nudie calenders in their trucks, which always made inspecting them fun.

Can you design your own sleeping space in your truck?

 

[haikira]

Glad to see the thread title. If only you could bold sections of thread titles, makes them multicoloured and maybe even vibrate. No one deserves a fate worse than Bad Rats, Aka Infestation: Survivor Stories/WarZ.

 

[calder]

I hope people give Sang Froid: Tales of Werewolves a look at least. It's a weird strategy game, Total Biscuit did a really thorough WTF is... video about it.

He accurately refers to it as "the most Canadian of games" in setting and character, so it has that going for it too.

 

[Lasthope106]

Torchlight II

I have two copies of Torchlight II from the 4-pack. Pm me if you are interested.

Already bought, looks like Orcs Must Die with a little more depth.

Since we are talking about movies and godfathers, the Gaffer who answers this question gets Angelina Jolie and the Angel of Darkness as a gift:

-From which movie is the quote: "The stuff that dreams are made of." ?

 

[davidsaurus]

The amount shown is the uncompressed. You download it compressed though which is often 50% of the size.

 

[The Super Bob]

Alright guys. I have £4.58 in my steam wallet. Is there currently anything on sale you can recommend? I'm not fussed about the type of game, although an RPG of some sort would be nice.

 

[Divius]

The Maltese Falcon!

 

[marrec]

It's pretty fun. I've put about 4 hours into it already.

Backing up a truck with a trailer into the perfect spot will be one of the most rewarding gaming experiences of your life.

I know I joked about this earlier in the thread, but you're damn right it is.

Once you get it and you can unhook that trailer and you see the extra EXP it's earned you... makes you feel damn good.

Can you design your own sleeping space in your truck?

I don't actually know about the sleeping space, there are a TON of extra bits and parts you can buy for your rig (and a huge variety of trucks to buy of course) but my driver is still too poor to bother with fancy paint jobs and such.

I just find driving from one city to another so strangely relaxing. I especially love it when it rains.

That must be the case, for me downloading Empire: Total War it was only 9.8 GB but it ended up being 16gb once uncompressed.

I keep forgetting that game had even been released

 

[DukeBobby]

Deus Ex Human Revolution is -85% right now.

I second this recommendation.

 

[Stimpack]

Just for reference I'm lvl25 out of 30. The game has had a lot of support since release (I haven't tried the multiplayer so can't comment on that) and they are continuing to release free dlc for content above the level 30 cap.

Have you played Torchlight II? I'm trying to figure out which one would be a better buy right now.

 

[Vazra]

Who feels like gifting me Van Helsing?

 

[NIN90]

Alright guys. I have £4.58 in my steam wallet. Is there currently anything on sale you can recommend? I'm not fussed about the type of game, although an RPG of some sort would be nice.

Pick one:

Deus Ex: HR (or the oringinal DX), XCOM, Dark Souls or Torchlight 2.

 

[Grief.exe]

Watching the Castle Crashers stream from last night right now for some laughs

http://www.twitch.tv/rain_1/b/432023867

Fast forward to 45 minutes to see Anderson solo a boss.

 

[Nymphae]

I hope the community picks UT3, I want.

 

[DietRob]

XCOM is probably the best game up right now. However, I don't know how to convert your funny money into USD.

 

[Junior Mint]

Van Helsing is 20gb? No thanks then.
