What if next steam sale, valve had some sort of LIGHTNING deal thing, games only on sale for 1 hour?

 

[Deliverance]

I'm hosting a 4-pack for Monaco, we are only two so far. Since I'm from Europe it would be 4.1€ per person (which is around $5.4). I can only receive money via Paypal.

Edit: We are full! Thanks anyway!

Nothing for me.

Community vote is shit too.

 

[Pancakes]

Repeats, repeats everywhere.

Skyrim must've gone on sale like 4 times now.

 

[neoism]

looololol yup I leave my window open in the winter cools my pc by 10+ degrees lol I have 6 fans in an on my computer right now..

Then we'd have to put up Lightning Returns gifs for all the repeats.

 

[Acccent]

It is. I was just wondering what you were doing here.

...I'm talking about games I bought but never play? Am I missing something?

 

[mrgone]

Whoa. Star Conflict's already selling stuff on Steam

edit: Ah crap, I was thinking Star Citizen

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Voted for Football Manager.

Jay Z gets my vote XD

 

[ElRenoRaven]

At this point it's safe to say we're not seeing anything new from here on out. They've had a lot of rehashes and here are more. It's been that way for the last couple days now.

They had 4 hour flash sales in a previous sale. I think they decided to go with 8 because it's more possible for people to follow every sale, and they probably get more overall sales that way.

 

[maneil99]

Well that seals my fate, seems like there is a 0% chance of sonic going on sale

 

[Pops Maellard]

Man, what to vote for.

 

[Turfster]

Rayman Origins is DRM free, and very worth it.

After reading a review today I decided I want it and need to gift it for a friend. Has it been a daily yet?

I... think it was a flash sale.

Also, Jesus Christ Valve, could you make it even harder to tag an image as a spoiler after you've uploaded it? You have to go to screenshots, click it, click on view comments & details in the popup, which takes you to another page, where you can finally click the spoiler tag.

 

[alr1ght]

That link to FONV is still broken on the main page. C'mon, Gaben.

 

[zhorkat]

I... think it was a flash sale.

It was.

Still waiting for SSFIV. Saw it appear once in the community's choice but it lost... D:

How depressing

[Franklinator]

Bleh, bunch of repeats. I voted NBA, because it's fun.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

SS2, it's much shorter.

Play both at the same time.

Thanks for the input, I'll go with System Shock.

 

[mclem]

i am thinking about getting in to civ or sim city kind of stuff. do this game require great skills?

There's a lot of things to learn about in Civilization, but the tutorials and reference materials in-game are comprehensive and good at keeping the player informed.
I can't speak for recent SimCity titles, I've not played one since 2000 (but back then that pretty much required having the manual to hand to learn the game)

can they be played in small sessions?

Well, you can *try*. Civilization created the term One More Turn Syndrome, after all...

They're better suited to big chunks of time, really.

my favorite genre by far is though is third person adventure games like zelda but on pc i do not see any games such as that.

Beyond Good & Evil springs to mind. Ys to a slightly lesser extent. Also might be worth taking a look at the Carpe Fulgur titles (Fortune Summoners, Chantelise *might* fit what you want. Not so much Recettear, but it's a great game)

Any Gaffers who don't give a shit about the new Commnunity vote should vote for NBA2K13

 

[maneil99]

Man, what to vote for.

NBA, its the first good port they've made,reward them for it so we get 2k14

 

[Deitus]

I don't give a shit about sports or racing games. What do I vote for?

 

[GK86]

What shit flash deals.

 

[zkylon]

new vegas again

did I already say this game is great and everyone should experience its greatness?

because they should

but why no cards

 

[DukeBobby]

I just voted for the best sport.

Easy decision.

I'm sure we'll have one or two more tomorrow. Prison Architect for one(unless I missed it).

I remember last sale. I forgot that it was 4 hours though. But wouldn't it be fun to set your alarm every 1 hour and buy games on steam, go to sleep, and do it all night?

 

[Meizzner]

same waiting on SSFIV and SFxT

 

[Megasoum]

Hey guys, how's Dragonborn? I'm kind of itching for some Skyrim but my save game is so old that I forgot what was happening lol... So maybe having one specific set of quests to do would be fun to put me back in.

 

[cicero]

...I'm talking about games I bought but never play? Am I missing something?

I was referencing the picture you posted in response to Crayons and his list of money spent. It seemed like you were making a pointed comment, now you are including yourself in it too though, so...

Prison Architect tomorrow....

Gunpoint - 40 minutes played: Gunpoint is very fun, it's a cute little puzzle game, jumping and movement feels glorious, the rewiring mechanic is pretty good, most levels seem to have multiple solutions, the saved time score and medals give you an incentive to replay, the sound effect design is fantastic, and I like all the ideas put into it. And I think (easy for me to say, it was given to me as a gift!) that it's worth the price based on what I've played so far. It reminds me of something like Indiana Jones Desktop Adventures or Yoda Stories, not in gameplay but in how it's this little thing you can open, poke at for a few minutes on your break, and then get back to work.

But it's also very clearly a Game Maker game. Something about the text, the way things load, the odd lack of main menu, the UI graphics, the static camera, the wide level of zoom, the fact that most of the screen is background if you play on a higher resolution... it all comes together to feel like the first game of someone doing it for a hobby. I hope that in the future Francis gets an engine programmer to work on giving him some tools that feel a little more pro on that end. I mention this not to ward anyone off a purchase, again, the game is good and there are many great ideas, but rather as an observation that I don't think this is something that would have got on Steam a year ago.

P.S. I found a bug.
- Start mission
- Play to completion, get score / time / awards
- View previous missions
- Pick any mission you've completed
- Immediately abort mission, your score will still be saved but your awards will be zapped. I have no idea how that could possibly be intentional, failed runs shouldn't overwrite successful ones.

Are both of these GFWL? I can't find them in the store in my region.

 

[outunderthestars]

Fallout 3 is also $2.49 and $4.99 for regular and GOTY editions! I missed it the first time. Feeling good now!

 

[Krappadizzle]

Any Gaffers who don't give a shit about the new Commnunity vote should vote for NBA2K13

Exactly what I did.

 

[UncleBiz]

Compared to Torchlight or Path of Exile, what's Van Helsing like? None of the new deals are too exciting

 

[Acccent]

Vote for NBA2k13, it's a very good game and Football Manager was in the dailies (then again maybe NBA was too?)

 

[xBlain]

Capcom loves GFWL.

 

[Stitch]

NBA2K13 is incredibly cheap on nuuvem

yeah football is nice

[Uiki]

Relisted all my cards and undercut the lowest sold price by .01. Made a good 19 bucks! No idea what i want to buy now tho :/

how many cards did you sell? like a million?

That would destroy me. I would be dead by the end of the sale. Please Valve, don't do this to me.

Yes. Just imagine all the fun we'll have only getting sleep in 55 minute bursts.

 

[Eternia]

Anyone buying FTL should buy it from their site at http://www.ftlgame.com/.

Voted NBA cuz Jigga Man.
