How is the Trials Evo port? I've been waiting forever for it to go cheaper than what it was listed as.

I see it has UPlay DRM, which fuckin' sucks, but other than that how does it run?

Try the demo. Some people get weird stuttering if the framerate drops even 1 frame from 60fps.

Ok trials too expensive, ill wait for next sale.

Rayman seems nice, thoughts?

Star trek... damn how the mighty have fallen, still doesn't seem worth it.

P.S. Developer accidentally put Kenshi (http://store.steampowered.com/app/233860) for 33% off for the sale, this will be the lowest it will be for a while [dev says he might actually raise the base price], if anyone is interested. WARNING: It is very EARLY ALPHA.

"SUMMER SALE! Offer ends 22 July"

That's not a daily. I believe the poster you were replying to was commenting on the lack of a Daily Deal for The Elder Scrolls series (Skyrim, instead, being the only one with a discount from what I can see) because, typically, when one game is the Daily Deal, the previous games will also get a Daily Deal. It would seem that a few people, myself included, were expecting Oblivion and Morrowind to also go on sale when Skyrim was.

For the buyer, it's well known the longer you wait, the more the price drops.
Click to expand...

That depends. The summer sale cards will worth a lot more once the sale is over. You can't get them anymore. The best way to make some money of them is to stash them until the sale is over and wait for a week for those who need to level up their badges.

Supply and demand....

So I'm kind of in a predicament...

My friend left me €25 on his steam for some good games (and some good co-op titles)
since he has to work the whole time.

My question is, would I better buy Rayman: origins or Monaco? provided I buy the same one for co-op. I'm hearing some mixed reactions on Monaco and I'm not quite sure if we'll play it that much. then again, i'm not sure of Rayman either.

It's not exactly uncommon for Early Access games to go on sale.
Click to expand...

Direct Quote from the developer's site: "Also, due to a minor mis-communication I accidentally put the game in the Steam sales for 33% off. I'm thinking of actually increasing the price a bit more soon, so now is actually the cheapest you will ever get the game for if you don't already have it."

I never spout bullshit ;).

Copped X-Com earlier this morning for $10. Still downloading.

Sorry if this has been asked already, but is there any word on whether there'll be a greatest hits type sale near the end where the bring back the the most popular deals for a day? Was pinching my pennies earlier this week and decided not to pull the trigger on F:NV Ultimate Edition.

The game still being discounted is no accident, though. It's an "issue" a single e-mail could fix.

Rayman is the best co-op experience on Steam, period. Monaco looks great as well though. Maybe you can get both if you get on a 4pack for the latter? Still, I'd go for Rayman. In co-op it's the most fun I've had in years.

Yes, they always do a repeat.

Alright probably last ( or maybe second last call ) for anyone who wants Euro Truck Simulator 2 for 5.5$. I'm kind of running low on tf2 keys, so would highly prefer payment in steam wallet funds, but i can still accept paypal.

You can trade wallet funds for a game? I'll buy it if so, don't want a paypal account.

I'm guessing Driver San Francisco won't be discounted further for this sale, and neither will any of the Splinter Cell games. Disappointing to be honest.

Another question.. Is XCOM fully playable with a controller, or should I just use keyboard/mouse?
Click to expand...

Both work fine. I use mouse and keyboard when I sit at my PC since you have a but more shortcuts and quickslots and I use the controller when I feel like relaxing on my couch.

tried the demo for Binary Domain... couldn't even get the controls to work...
major turn off
Click to expand...

It's a little weird. There's an external program used for all the settings that I believe was added after the game's release. The demo might not have been updated :p

I actually preferred a controller. Totally implementation.
Click to expand...

I wonder if they ever fixed the batshit craziness to the mouse+keyboard in the more complex levels. I preferred m+k early on, but switched over to controller when the mouse cursor refused to make up its mind about what floor it was pointing at. Even the controller was a little weird at times, but definitely beyond my wildest expectations for a game of this type.
