It has village destroying giant rocks! And earthquakes.

Feel the wrath of the mighty giant. Burn. Burrrrrrn.

Nuh, I dunno, I'm still hesitant.

Some guy added me just to ask me for some 15 cent card I was selling on the marketplace. I said no, and he just kept on begging. WTF it's 15 cents!

Nuh, I dunno, I'm still hesitant.

Do you like strategic gameplay? Puzzle gameplay? I am sure there are plenty of people it wont appeal to. If you want an honest recommendation, let me know what you like and/or dislike in your games.

Dark Souls is my GOTY 2011 well over Bastion, even though I played the Durante version last year.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

FTFY.

Hey I'm actually having fun with it! lol

yo man I got these cheeseburgerrss

 

[JoseOle5990]

My GotY back then.

Fun mechanics, amazing story telling, unparalleled ost

The OST is fan-freakin-tastic.

Sadly this is the only OCRemix for Bastion, but it's still very good. It uses my favorite track for the mix

Don't use Win8 myself but according to this, it does:

There is a common fix for those issues. Check here.

I'm with the cheapskate here, guys.
With 15c I could buy like 1 and a half candies.

 

[JaseC]

Is it weird that I'm tempted to get 3Dmark? I've had the demo version downloaded and was wondering if there were any differences with the full version

It's never weird to want to buy something on Steam.

 

[toastyToast]

The secret ending for Hotline Miami only added to my confusion

Spoiler

wtf it went MGS4 patriots trying to wipe out the Russians. Why wasn't the meta ending with the 2 dudes enough?

I'm so confused. All these games messing with my head.

 

[kami_sama]

I'm waiting for the new sales to buy Reus. Can't spend too much.

 

[Timedog]

yeah its 15 cents why did you said no?

he asked if he could have a card, I said I didn't have any (didn't have any in my inventory, but had one on the market) then he started talking about how I had a card on the market and how I needed to give it to him. I'm not gonna give 15 cents to some weirdo.

Nothing wrong with that if you are a PC enthusiast and you want to benchmark, I bought it at release.

Nah. I prefer to test my hardware with GAMES.

Does anyone know a good game where you can be a samurai unicorn and kill people in 2D side scrolling levels located on a 3D world map where you need to use physics puzzles to get around...and it's entirely in black and white, except for blood which is purple. Oh, and the soundtrack needs to be an indie band you've never heard of. The ending should make me question life, the universe, and everything and/or just confuse the hell out of me as it turns out the samurai unicorn was Hitler the entire time. So, suggestions?

Dear Esther.

It has village destroying giant rocks! And earthquakes.

Feel the wrath of the mighty giant. Burn. Burrrrrrn.

The game will be 4.99 for another 24 hours right?

 

[Firehead]

he asked if he could have a card, I said I didn't have any (didn't have any in my inventory, but had one on the market) then he started talking about how I had a card on the market and how I needed to give it to him. I'm not gonna give 15 cents to some weirdo.

Yo, want some of my cards to add to your inventory? Will probably get even more beggars!

haha, sound like an episode of the steam sale tv show

 

[Turfster]

Welp, time to lower my foils again.
At this point, I don't really care anymore, I just want something before they're totally worthless.

 

[HundredEyeMonk]

Yup, you can buy the dailies for that day and the day after.

 

[BadAss2961]

haha

 

[Timedog]

You need to give me those cards. I need those cards. Give them to me. I see them in your inventory.

I was thinking of one that meets all of these criteria, but it turns out that instead of the unicorn being Hitler he's actually Stalin. Oh well, maybe next time.

 

[Firehead]

Yep yep. The game reminds me of Populous...

 

[Toma]

The game will be 4.99 for another 24 hours right?

Yeah, but you still cant run it :/

 

[JaseC]

The game will be 4.99 for another 24 hours right?

Yes. There's a 24-hour grace period on Dailies.

 

[Slacker]

The game will be 4.99 for another 24 hours right?

Yes. I'm tempted to purchase it but I'm going to wait to see the dailies today and the next two flash sales before I pull the trigger.

 

[dark_inferno]

Sanctum 2. Yes or no?

Sanctum 1 is a Tower Defence game with FPS mechanics. Sanctum 2 is a FPS with Tower Defence mechanics. I hope this helps. If not : Its fun with people. It is fucking boring alone.

 

[Prophane33]

Damn, so close to the perfect game.

 

[H3xum]

Yes. I'm tempted to purchase it but I'm going to wait to see the dailies and the next two flash sales before I pull the trigger.

Doing the same exact thing.

I'm going to get Reus unless there are 3-4 games in this next batch of dalies that I must have.

Half of the money should be sent to Toma

 

[Firehead]

You need to give me those cards. I need those cards. Give them to me. I see them in your inventory.

Sure thing. Add me on Steam.

 

[Raticus79]

Stardrive wasn't the best. Glad I got it cheap. High speed ships act silly and spend more time fishtailing around than hitting anything. The ships have a circle strafe mode, which was a good idea, but they don't know how to adjust targeting so they'll never hit anything unless you use guided missiles or something.

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

You need to give me those cards. I need those cards. Give them to me. I see them in your inventory.

You're turning into what you dispise.

 

[Toma]

You're turning into what you dispise.

Thats what Steam sales do to you.

Wow you do not realize it happening when it's only 1 or 2 at a time.

Absolutely and, honestly, that's why I really think it's better for people to only go with what they had an interest in prior to the beginning of the sales or, alternatively, keeping money in your account until there is something you know you'll enjoy. If you don't, and you get tempted by the prices, you can very easily spend a significant amount of money not realising it. Somebody on a previous page mentioned that Steam, more than anything else, teaches you that cents add up over time and it's absolutely true both for spending and selling; everything begins to add up over time. On the other hand though, it's an absolutely amazing way to sample a large, diverse seletcion of games that you may not have otherwise tried, provided you have the funds of course.

EDIT:

Half of the money should be sent to Toma

This is true for a significant amount of the independant games on Steam! I can't count the amount of hidden gems that have been exposed through his numerous threads and recommendations.

 

[HerbertFish]

What's worse Bad Rats or Dear Esther?

 

[JaseC]

Thats what Steam sales do to you.

But I love buying games I'll never play and levelling up badges that have no practical benefits.

This is a fantastic post, more people need to realize this.
