I fully expect Rogue Legacy to have a much better sale than this at some point this year.

Yeah but really can't wait, everyone saying how awesome it is .

 

[lmpaler]

:lol


Relax man I was kidding.

I disagree though. A friend gave me the first XCom and holy shit I hated it. The new one is cool though.

Never heard of XCOM until recently so I grabbed EU. I like it. Why is the first one superior?

 

[Shepard]

how long till we get a brave new world discount?

 

[Enco]

You hated it? How unfortunate for you. It still remains one of the greatest games of all time.

It was way too hardcore for me.

I couldn't handle the graphics, controls or mechanics.

 

[Salsa]

how long till we get a brave new world discount?

it actually got discounted by mistake on the first days of the sales

 

[toddhunter]

Yeah but really can't wait, everyone saying how awesome it is .

You should get at least 10 hours out of it.

Just grab it and enjoy.

 

[wilflare]

I just woke up, what did I miss. lol

 

[X05]

In thousands of years, historians are going to look back at the US civilization and be so confused about this.

I imagine it went something like:
- "Hey we need a name"
- "A catchy one... Got it! How about "football", like that other game?"
- "But this game doesn't even has a ball in it!"
- "... No one will tell the difference"

Spoiler

the second person is Cave Johnson, obviously

buffdudesrunball

but it's not even a ball XD

Soccer is only a major sport in countries that are former and/or non-empires.

Spoiler

American Football is boring.

LOL, good one

and yes it is

 

[Twentieth]

Bought Trials. It didn't work. I've been trying to fix and it still doesn't work. Thaks Ubisoft.

I actually like the unforgiving nature of older titles. It made success a much more tangible and noteworthy experience.

What's the problem?

I know, and it was like 4 dollars wasnt it? :C

 

[v0rtikal]

...and craft the summer badge. My first badge ever.

big mistake... now you won't be able to stop... at least you'll keep crafting badges every once in a while.

 

[kurtrussell]

Dammit, I hate people who do this.

Wait.... you mean to tell me that there's a guy who is selling his intangible pixels for TEN CENTS less than another guy?

Those bastards! This makes me so angry I want to vomit

He's lowering the value of the card! D:

 

[Caerith]

You hated it? How unfortunate for you. It still remains one of the greatest games of all time.

I have the first X-COM (bought the bundle years ago) and booted it up when XCOM: EU came out. I think I played maybe 10 minutes before calling it quits. It might be the better game, but it's fairly obtuse and all google results for "how to play x-com" came up "RTFM." So, maybe when my backlog hits single digits.

I'm making so much friends thanks to these summer sale threads!

 

[-tetsuo-]

I was talking about Frozen Synapse with octagon for some reason and man I really want Frozen Endzone to come out already

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAx2rLBE-B8

I dont even like football

This looks to be the best game ever made

Games are intangible pixels. Steam is an intangible piece of code. Why are you in this thread? Hell why are you on GAF?

 

[kurtrussell]

I saw this a couple of days ago:

I hate the Steam community so much.

Me too. Selling a trading card for nearly £6 more than it's market price is sickening. It makes me sad that there are so many members of the so-called Steam "community" who will readily take advantage of their peers for a few quid.

Lol wut?

 

[SteveWinwood]

How do you people still not understand how this market works in all these months. This is how it goes. They undercut the price so it sells, not to spite you no matter what you think otherwise.

 

[MikeDown]

would be nice if some ubisoft game went on sale beyond 35%

 

[Grief.exe]

Ubisoft is a complete joke.

 

[Sutton Dagger]

Is Rayman the same price everywhere? $6.09?

 

[Caerith]

I know, and it was like 4 dollars wasnt it? :C

Different mistake. It was like $4 in Brazil when it was first available for purchase, then it came out and they accidentally discounted it (only like -33%) during the summer sale, then they rectified their mistake and apologized to everyone who paid full price (and/or $4) by giving them free copies of Civ 4.

Seeing as they stated that BNW being on sale was a mistake, it is unlikely to be anything other than full price for a good long while.

 

[Twentieth]

What's the problem?

Crashes on launch evertime. Same problem I have with Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Never found a solution for both even using support and Ubisoft forums- thinking about asking for a refund.

 

[derExperte]

Why isn't Inversion a bigger thing on GAF while everyone loves (for example) Binary Domain? Sure, the beginning isn't all that great but the game gets craaaaazyyyy. Not going to spoil anything but the last third is just one amazing sequence after another. And damn are some of the weapons brutal, everyone's screaming and losing limbs around me. Glad I finally picked it up. Only problem is that it crashes to desktop from time to time.

 

[Madrugador]

Is Rayman the same price everywhere? $6.09?

It's $6.79 here. Goddammit Ubisoft.

 

[maneil99]

Chances of Sonic All star racing going on sale dies if it isn't a flash sale or community vote in 2 hours

 

[Big Takeover]

You can get it from GMG for 30% off.

 

[Caerith]

I'm sure Ubisoft will put their entire catalogue on sale for -75%, but first they need to increase the base price of everything to 500%.

 

[Alo81]

Lol wut?

I know there were a couple times where I meant to put a card on sale for something like $0.33 and I accidentally put it at $33 or $3.3

 

[Magicman103]

Anyone running a Monaco 4-pack?

 

[FACE]

Because it was designed for consoles.

Which makes it terrible for a PC game

As for you, FACE, how the hell would I know? It's my first X-COM game!

Rectify that: http://store.steampowered.com/app/7760/

Never heard of XCOM until recently so I grabbed EU. I like it. Why is the first one superior?

You can have multiple bases and aliens can invade your them. Action points, the combat interface is better(yes, really), randomized maps makes UFO Defense a lot more replayable than EU, inventory management(YMMV) and I prefer the way the old game handles alien spawns. If I recall correctly, in the new game you have some aliens walking around the map and reaching certain areas of the map spawns a few more aliens while in the old games the aliens would always be walking around the map(not sure if this is 100% true).

I dont think it's terrible, I think its clearly designed for consoles

I guess we ended up on the loosing end a bit because of that, but honestly it feels like an alright marriage of making it console-focused without it being annoying on PC

like, the interface did what it was supposed to do for what the game is. I dont think a better one would have really benefited the game

Unfortunately, the nterface and camera controls annoyed the hell out of me.

 

[cicero]

How do you people still not understand how this market works in all these months. This is how it goes. They undercut the price so it sells, not to spite you no matter what you think otherwise.

I don't think anyone has been saying it was something directed at them personally, only that it ignores basic common sense and logic and bottoms the market out. I have been watching the prices of numerous cards/emoticons and seen someone come in and list it at 50-500% below the current going price while people are actively buying at that price. It makes no sense, people are stupid.

 

[Vodh]

Is Fable 3 worth my time? Liked Fable 1, never played 2.

 

[Deadbeat]

Is Fable 3 worth my time? Liked Fable 1, never played 2.

NO its quite bad.

 

[Grief.exe]

Is Fable 3 worth my time? Liked Fable 1, never played 2.

No.

Its a mediocre game and it is riddled with DRM as well. Skip it.

 

[Infinite Justice]

Well i'm officially out of this sale.

Preparing for winter

 

[Crayons]

You guys think Incredipede will be there tomorrow?

 

[v0rtikal]

Is Rayman the same price everywhere? $6.09?

cheapest I saw it? Ubisoft store for $5, but yeah 6 is its current cheapest.

 

[Card Boy]

Is Fable 3 worth my time? Liked Fable 1, never played 2.

It wasn't worth it even when i got it for free off XBL.

 

[liezryou]

Someone needs to make a game of thrones: steam edition. Or a steam of thrones.

 

[Wurst]

Thinking about buying Rayman and/or Bully. Don't have much time to think it through as it's late.

Quick thoughts?

 

[GAMERG0D]

You'd be better off flushing money down the toilet. Play 2 if you can.

I was going to wait till 75% (same price I bought Gods and Kings), but since I knew you can transfer food between your cities I've been reaaally tempted to buy it, this is a killer feature right there.

 

[RedSwirl]

Did I miss the flash or daily on Rogue Legacy or something? I'm starting to lose hope of that ever happening.

Same for Kentucky Route Zero. Those are basically the last two games I'm waiting to grab.

 

[blindrocket]

My to buy list:

Rogue Legacy ($11.99)
Van Helsing ($7.49)
Rayman Origins ($6.09)
The Book of Unwritten Tales ($6.79)
Bully ($3.74)

Problem: I only have $22.55 left to spend.

Sacrifices must be made.

Your prices, they are cheaper than I see on the Store. Luck dog.

Goddammit, so cheaps, but no monies. Time to sell some cards, methinketh.
