Darn, won't be around for the deal change. Going to go to the casino. Hopefully my luck there is better than my luck with foils and boosters.

 

[Pops Maellard]

All right GAF, you got me.

 

[JaseC]

Wait for the dailies.

After you've been through a few sales, you develop a sense for what's likely to see a deeper discount later in a sale. Battlefront 2 is no longer one of these games.

 

[Grief.exe]

I did not, but colour me intrigued.

Here is the thread

I don't know if you remember but we leaked this game out of the steam thread months ago.

Any recommendations that look nice? I'm currently using the Pig Hotline Miami background.

 

[Akkad]

I think this is the longest I've been through a Steam sale without buying a game, Van Helsing looks interesting ( I love loot games), but I don't know.

 

[MMBosstones86]

anyone have a link to Dunders store? I'm apparently searching the wrong spot

The very first one that I crafted (Offspring Fling) is quite nice. I've been rocking it myself and not seen anything that I like better yet.

 

[fantomena]

What's a booster pack?

 

[Pops Maellard]

Damn, Battlefront 2 is still so expensive for an eight year-old game.

Yeah, hopefully there'll be another SW game on sale before it ends so Battlefront can be had on the relatively cheap. Also Republic Commando.

If I liked battlegrounds in WoW, will I enjoy Forge?

They are quite different. I had pretty high hopes for the game before it came out but I'd honestly recommend skipping it. If you put the time in to learn a character very well, you would probably have fun, but the population isn't great and it takes far too long to kill anyone.

I had fun healing for a while, but after 4-5 hours I had no desire to play it anymore.

Okay. A Runner 23 booster pack just randomly dropped.

You know its coming.

Quite right.

One more time. Come on you know you want to.

Is Magicka good in single-player?

 

[SmarterUnconscious]

I've been meaning to start Binary Domain the past few days instead of buying something like Tomb Raider or Dishonored.. I think this may just be the motivation I needed.

edit: hell yes top of page fuck steam sales

Do it, Binary Domain is super entertaining.

 

[Zeliard]

All right GAF, you got me.

 

[Deques]

You can play it solo, but it's more fun if you play with other people

 

[NingenJanai]

Looks beautiful, is that with mods?

 

[JaseC]

It's enjoyable enough, but it's definitely a game that's exponentially better when played with friends.

 

[Dec]

Is Magicka good in single-player?

Worth the asking price for sure, but massively improved with coop. The only issue is that it's very buggy. It was a 50/50 chance if we were going to make it through each loading screen.

 

[Sportbilly]

I've been away for a few days- has Unity of Command been on sale yet?

 

[CatPee]

I just spent $5 on trading cards.

What have I done

 

[amishpriest99]

Really tempted by Strike Suit Zero/Infinity to just go ahead and pay the $6~$7...but I'm trying to wait in case Zero gets any cheaper. Not that it's expensive to start with, but still.

[BibiMaghoo]

Mic bascially required or is text chat ok?

Text chat works well, but can be fidely for timed stuff on harder settings. A mic is required for 145+ mode and stealth missions really, but you can get by without.

I figured I wouldn't enjoy it as much playing solo especially with having to plan out missions. I just have a shitty internet connection so it really hinders my ability to play online.

You will enjoy it 1000% more with other players, especially as it is not competative.

 

[AlexBasch]

Ah shit, I wanted to buy GTA4 DLC but didn't notice my wallet has $3.26 and I can't go to the bank until 1PM. Massive bummer.

You guys think the offer will return? Haha.

 

[Acccent]

All right GAF, you got me.

Since people helped me, here's a list of mods I found and selected, in order of importance:

• First get DSFix (almost mandatory!)
• Add two HD texture packs - a global one, and one specifically for flaura
• Make the UI and fonts crisper, to go with your improved resolution
• Tweak the health bars to be easier to read

edit: You can also add SweetFX if you know what you're doing - I think it changes the game's look too much, I'd rather pass on HDR but keep the exact colorimetry the devs intended.

edit: For the sake of 'exhaustiveness', I'll add those even though I won't use them:

• Connectivity Fix and DSVFix, which may improve your experience online
• Andres Cranial Ember which tweaks the face textures

 

[Zeliard]

That's from one of the pre-release Dark Souls CG trailers.

Nope.

 

[dark_inferno]

Is Magicka good in single-player?

Prepare to get a really really hard game alone. You can beat it but you wont have fun with it. Playing it with more than 1 friend makes the game funnier. But dont be too serious about the game.
Playing alone : Killed by enemies
Playing with others : Killed by friends.

Edit : Magicka is the ultimate magic-suicide-simulation.

 

[NingenJanai]

That's from one of the pre-release Dark Souls CG trailers.

Ah, I see, because that almost looked as good as the PS4 From Software demo.

 

[cebri.one]

I have seen some videos of DayZ, now I really want arma II to go on sale, i know it was earlier this week hopefully they'll repeat it.

Why bother play the PC version at all otherwise.

 

[Sportbilly]

Nope.

Cheers.

 

[Polioliolio]

This is from an early CG trailer for the game.

Game will look great anyway though, with DSfix, don't worry.

 

[Junior Mint]

So I'm willing to take a chance on one random game.

Van Helsing
Euro Truck Simulator 2
Payday

WHICH ONE GAF?

Awesome, thank you! I look forward to diving in after work today, glad I don't have to spend time digging around for stuff to make it playable.

Dark Souls will be mine when it hits $5 :X (with cards)

Same here.

I remember when I played it with a friend, it took us hours to get through chapter 11. We kept taking turns crashing and almost gave up at one point.

There were patches that might have made it better since then because we also did a fairly flawless speed run sometime after that.

 

[Papytendo]

Woah, Bully won.

 

[Polioliolio]

This is his most recent list.

Woh. Saints Row 3 Full Package for 5 bucks.

Should I bother? If it's decent, I can wait.. I don't need to play and waste money.. but if it's awesome, 5 bucks seems well worth it.

 

[Fireblend]

Now that we're talking about modding Dark Souls:

So, DSFix (Dark Souls) seems to make the game crash right at startup. I copied the files over just like the instructions said and whenever I try to launch it from Steam the game just plain crashes (this program has stopped working... message).

I removed the DLL and it runs just fine.

Any idea? I'm on Windows 7.

I already got a couple of suggestions which I haven't been able to try yet, but if anyone has more ideas I'd be glad to hear em.

 

[DukeBobby]

Yes, Bully won!!

Barely.

 

[Dec]

So I'm willing to take a chance on one random game.

Van Helsing

WHICH ONE GAF?

Van Helsing is my vote. Definitely not Payday, and I can't speak to Euro Truck.

I remember when I played it with a friend, it took us hours to get through chapter 11. We kept taking turns crashing and almost gave up at one point.

Very possible. It's probably been 6-8 months since I played it.
