Support NeoGAF

[YianGaruga]

When the game has been out for a while, sure.

When it first launches? Pure idiocy.

Have you ever considered the buyer side? The people who would buy the cards for 1.00 when they can be sure by now that they will drop to 0.10 are the idiots. And less and less of these exist because of past experiences, so people start the prices lower to even sell them at all.

You're suggesting that digital pictures should have an inherent value of >0.10. (even that is crazy). Why?

 

[Sendou]

So is the PC version of Bully a crappy port? Any big problems with it?

Locked at 30FPS. Apparently bigger problems were fixed with a patch so it should be pretty good otherwise.

 

[DukeBobby]

Dragonborn is £9.79? Only 30% off?

Yeesh...

 

[fatty]

I've heard that Monaco needs to be played with people, is it not worth it for solo? Is local multiplayer just as fun or do we each really need our own screen? (was thinking about playing it with my kids)

 

[Datwheezy]

I'd be interested.

Looks Like I will start one too:

1. Datwheezy
2. Wheeliedude
3.
4.

 

[Megasoum]

OK, and why would I not want the Enhanced one?

Apparently, the original games with the proper mods is actually better than the enhanced edition that doesn't support any mods.

 

[dave is ok]

I'm not recommending that anyone buy Star Trek, but if you do buy Star Trek - do it for General Eric the Defiant

 

[chronomac]

Definitely buying Rayman Origins. I just wish it supported cards.

 

[Grief.exe]

Well, I already bought it, but the price was not that bad, I think.
I paid for Albion the equivalent to US$ 3,81 (R$ 8,49 - brazilian currency).
But thanks for the tip anyway!

I was eager to play the game. In fact, Star Citizen was the reason I bought X3.
When I saw the Star Citizen trailers, I felt I was watching some 3DMark benchmark, and started to think the huge scale of the game and all the possibilities. So I felt in need to play a good space sim "now". And found X3 (and there`s a sequel coming for this one, right?).

I'm really enjoying it, and can't wait to put my hands on Star Citizen too. I'm really excited for this game (and X3 sequel too).

Just making sure, I knew if you were interested in the X series, than Star Citizen would blow your mind. I see that it already has.

Have you heard of Freespace 2? It actually have a massive modding community, look into Freespace Open, that brings the visual fidelity up to modern standards.

New games have had bigger price cuts. Look at Metro LL.

It's not just release date. La Mulana is another example where the dev said Valve wasn't interested. With so many games on steam the release date can hardly be used as an excuse.


Valve Decision Making (TM)


Yes. Mods can fix it though.

Metro LL is 6 weeks older than Rogue Legacy.

 

[Corronchilejano]

What's better, Dishonored or Blood Dragon?

 

[HoosTrax]

Sounds like we need to be getting the GOG version of BG2.

Not really. Already have it on disc

 

[r3n4ud]

I'll wait for next sale for Trials.

Makes two of us Felix!

 

[cicero]

OK, and why would I not want the Enhanced one?

Are you trolling here?

 

[Boss Doggie]

Also instead of buying Rayman just add another dollar and go buy the superior La Mulana instead. You'd be helping an indie instead of Ubisoft too! Sell your cards, etc. That dollar can make a huge difference.

 

[JaseC]

I was waiting for a lower price too

I don't quite understand why Bethesda is being so cheap with the Dragonborn DLC. Not only was it half off during Skyrim's Flash Sale when the sale began, but it released almost half a year ago now.

 

[Gintoki313]

Wow, I just checked the new sales and they're all great. I don't even know what to get with my last $8. Rayman Origins, Eve Online, Civilization 5, or Portal 2.

Decisions decisions.

 

[drhankmccoyphd]

I'm interested in grabbing Rayman. Does it work ok with a controller in BPM? The menus and start-up I mean.

 

[nacimento]

Falllen enchantress is 7,50 in the US?

 

[DukeBobby]

It's capped to 30fps but you can fix that.

Huh, I never knew about this...

Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

 

[Petrie]

Are you trolling here?

No. I have never played Baldur's Gate and have always meant to. I assume I'd want the newer version.

 

[whitehawk]

How is 360 controller support with Bully? It says partial controller support. I can't play with a keyboard + mouse.

 

[DRG]

Locked at 30FPS. Apparently bigger problems were fixed with a patch so it should be pretty good otherwise.

Cool, I'll dive in then. Beat it for PS2 and 360 already and been wanting to play it again.

 

[Fireblend]

I'm interested in grabbing Rayman. Does it work ok with a controller in BPM? The menus and start-up I mean.

Yes. Get it. It's awesome.

 

[garath]

Today's deals are just a tad bit away from being must buys, and instead, are no buys.

Today's sales kind of suck.

I'm still looking for:

Prison Architect
Starforge Alpha
Drakensang River of Time (I'll buy it at $5 at the end of the sale np though)
Unity of Command
UnEpic (probably won't happen. Not even on sale now)
La Mulana

 

[Koeta]

man, gotta reinstall eve just for 3 cards lol

 

[Celegus]

What's better, Dishonored or Blood Dragon?

Hardly similar, but if you're only going to get one or the other, Dishonored by a mile.

 

[TheExodu5]

I really did not like what I played of Monaco. It's chaos in 4 player mode. Not fun at all.

 

[Crayons]

Are you trolling here?

Of course he is. There's no way someone could seriously say that.

 

[FACE]

No. I have never played Baldur's Gate and have always meant to. I assume I'd want the newer version.

Enhanced Edition has a shittier intro, tons of new bugs and doesn't support the old version's mods.

 

[Enco]

Metro LL is 6 weeks older than Rogue Legacy.

Ok my bad. Still fairly new though.

My point isn't specifically about Rogue Legacy though. It's about Valve cherry picking a handful of games and repeating them over and over and over.

 

[Skerj]

I'll host a Monaco four-pack in a few hours for the after works bros.

$5.59 a pop.

1. PixyJunket
2. PixyJunket
3. ?
4. ?

Count me in provided temptation doesn't get the best of me and I buy it anyway. Even still count me in as I'll just gift the other copy. Now the wait for Rogue Legacy continues.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I'm interested in grabbing Rayman. Does it work ok with a controller in BPM? The menus and start-up I mean.

Grab La Mulana instead! The price difference is roughly a buck and that buck can give you quite a difference!

 

[Ardvent]

Looking for a monaco 4-pack for now-ish

 

[Stumpokapow]

Sounds like this is another bullshit decision by Valve.

Alternatively, the following happens:
- Valve asks developers how they'd like to participate in the sale.
- They write back with two prices: a regular sale price, and a sale price if they are featured.
- Valve makes a decision based on those prices which to feature, trying to get a mix of hit games, large commercial projects, and small independent games with a mixture of sale pricepoints. While they do feature independent games, they're looking for stuff that could be breakout hits or stuff that scratches a really unique itch.

WarZ was featured because despite everything, that shit sold really well, it almost certainly sold well yesterday, 10,000 people have recommended it to their friends on Steam (I have no idea if that figure counts negative recommendations, but the thumbs up thing next to the game metadata has something like 10,000). La Mulana was not featured because either Playism didn't discount enough or Valve correctly thought that even though the game is excellent, it's also pretty alienating and it would make more sense to feature something like Cave Story if they wanted to get a similar audience but sell more copies. Rogue Legacy was very very popular (and JUST came out!), so I suspect it's not being featured because the discount submitted with it didn't seem large enough for Valve to think it merited a slot.

That's not to say their logic is perfect or that they shouldn't take more chances or WarZ isn't a turd or whatever, but it's not like they're drunk monkeys throwing shit at a wall, there's obviously a process here that makes sense at some basic level.

 

[Double D]

I am now the owner of the PC version of Bully!

 

[Chavelo]

Alright, screw it:

I'm starting up a 4-pack for Monaco. Send me a PM if you want in!

 

[Sendou]

Also instead of buying Rayman just add another dollar and go buy the superior La Mulana instead. You'd be helping an indie instead of Ubisoft too!

DRM free (on top of Steam that is) Ubisoft games and Ancel are causes well worth supporting.

 

[BLunted]

Does anyone know if I buy the EVE starter pack, does my 30 day game time start immediately or after I log in for the first time?

Thinking about buying it, but want put it in the backlog for now.

 

[JaseC]

Today's sales kind of suck.

I'm still looking for:

Prison Architect
Starforge Alpha
Drakensang River of Time (I'll buy it at $5 at the end of the sale np though)
Unity of Command
UnEpic (probably won't happen. Not even on sale now)
La Mulana

Prison Architect will be tomorrow's spotlight deal; it's now the one and only game featured on the Summer Sale cards that hasn't been a Daily.

 

[chugen]

so we always get the same deals and when its fresh we have trials for 10€. wuts going on gaben why you hate us

 

[Huevos de Oro]

I, too, was hoping for a deeper discount on Skyrim's DLC. Dawnguard and Dragonborn specifically. Too bad it's not going to be this time but there's always Autumn Winter next Summer Sale I guess.

 

[Crayons]

So tomorrow is the last day of "new" deals.

The end of an era.

 

[phantomspiker]

New games have had bigger price cuts. Look at Metro LL.

It's not just release date. La Mulana is another example where the dev said Valve wasn't interested. With so many games on steam the release date can hardly be used as an excuse.

Rogue Legacy dev said nothing about Valve not being interested in a further price cut.

Once again, the game hasn't even been out for a month yet.

 

[toastyToast]

What's better, Dishonored or Blood Dragon?

Blood Dragon was fun until the novelty wore off. I wouldn't spend more than $5 in it now that I've played it. Dishonored is pretty sweet

 

[intheinbetween]

hey guys, add me so we can have a blast with Monaco:

[PixyJunket]

I'll host a Monaco four-pack in a few hours (5:00 PM CST) for the after work bros.

[RS4-]

Wtf, I can't gift the 3 pack of Awesomenauts because I already own the game? Garbage.

 

[Dr.Acula]

I, too, was hoping for a deeper discount on Skyrim's DLC. Dawnguard and Dragonborn specifically. Too bad it's not going to be this time but there's always Autumn Winter next Summer Sale I guess.

Is Winter not coming? I had it on good authority that Winter is coming.

 

[Petrie]

Enhanced Edition has a shittier intro, tons of new bugs and doesn't support the old version's mods.

Alright then. May as well just find the old disks at a thrift shop then.
