Support NeoGAF

[mclem]

So, I have a gifting plan slowly brewing to act as a finale to the sale. A question, though: When's a good time to run it? The weekend's a given, of course, but when can I catch most people online; I think it's something that, like Bingo, would work best handled live.

For what it's worth, I'm in the UK. So if it means I don't have to stay up particularly late, that's good too.

Maybe I'll buy the DLC I don't need and will never play.

I'm staring at the Fallout New Vegas timer. I already played it on Xbox 360, but I don't own it on Steam. But I don't want to spend money on a game I already played because what if a game I haven't played goes on sale? Tick tick tick. Help me GAF. I don't know what to do.

Game is better on PC. Check this thread.

It's much better on PC and it's cheap as hell.

If a user puts the NOLURKERS rule in place, then yeah 5 posts in this thread (or the one before) is needed.

But that rule isn't always put into effect.

What is the joke about bad rats?

The whole "lol Bad Rats" spiel started earlier in the year, when a bloke in the SteamGAF thread kept bringing up a game in his library that he'd like to do away with. Instead of heeding advice to contact Support to have it removed, he continued to complain about this mystery game, often broaching the issue out of the blue, and eventually said he was going to make a new account to avoid its taint. Naturally, the questions about what game it was continued to come, and eventually he had a meltdown about it all, getting himself banned. The common assumption, given the few decidedly vague hints he dropped, was that it was Bad Rats.

It's also a very poorly-conceived and poorly-designed game.

Do you have all the DLCs on X360 Fallout? If not, I would rebuy NV and get the Ultimate edition.

 

[fantomena]

Does ModBot still work? Have a code to giveaway.

Spoiler

no, it's not the "upcoming" game

Quoting from last page. Damn this thread goes fast.

I have about 500 hours of LoL and I don't really like MOBAs, it is one of the better games I've ever played.

I used to be pro at LoL true story. Won the first official riot games tournament ever (sponsored by razer, the TT one). Quit for medical school though! I am back into dota now xD.

LOVE IS NOT OVER! Thanks a bunch for this! I've been meaning to get both for ages.

Your welcome bro!

It's working.

 

[schuey7]

Got Dishonoured and Hitman .Great sales and my first time picking up games on sale as computer games in India are usually cheaper in retail shops rather than online.The only problem is the the huge install for Hitman haha

For the new page:

I was being ironic, but it's true I'm hesitant on Reus, because I don't know, I already got like thousands of indie game in backlog, and right now I'm more into big lenghty games.

But, anyway. I'm actually very much into strategic (as in TBS more than RTS, because I'm slow as hell), and way less into puzzles (I can't stand math stuff, like in 999, but I like... I dunno... puzzle bobble? ).

Overall, the fact is: I'm attracted by Reus, but I feel it's not the right moment, and also I',m expecting it to fall in a Humble Bundle in the next months.

Well, if you dont want to spend the money now or whatever, thats perfectly fine. I just feel that these devs absolutely deserve every purchase I can convince others to do due to the amount of passion and love they put in the product. Its one of those games that just makes me feel happy thinking about it because its just so well made with much love for detail that wouldnt be made from big developers anymore.

You can and need to play this slowly, pausing a lot, but the game has some puzzle like nature to it where you build different elements of the surroundings (minerals, animals, plants) and try to activate symbiosis' to maximize the output these plants give (research, money and food). Finding some suitable combinations and patterns will take some thinking and testing, if that might be a "puzzle" mechanic that might turn you off. But really, its just a delightful game that I would love to see expanded on.

Buy games that you want to play and you will enjoy.If you want to play again F:NW on pc buy it,if you want it just for collection maybe skip it if you have it on 360.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

DLC is $13 discounted.

Yeah.

Okay.

 

[Toma]

Game Debate says my specs can run it on low/medium settings. And at least I'd have the game for when I can play it with better specs

Problem is that it doesnt run on any graphics card that doesnt at least support DirectX 10 atm (they are working on it though), and I have serious doubts your integrated Intel 2000 can pull that off.

 

[Toki767]

DLC is $13 discounted.

Yeah.

Okay.

It'll probably be 50% off. Only Legendary Edition is 40% off.

Okay.

It's not even live yet.

Holy shit hahahaha why would someone care that there is a random game in their library?

 

[liezryou]

Only if the giveaway specifies NOLURKERS.

I've had it up to HERE with your "RULES".

I wanted to make sure someone who has given back AND has not had a chance to get back got it . Next few giveaways i do will be more lenient. Probably givers only.

 

[Sullichin]

I wanted the PC version of Skyrim to fuck around in, $36 is still way too steep.

 

[antitrop]

Seriously. Have some perspective.

How do you people get through their day worrying about what people will think of what games they have in their Steam library. Or if they have a game they shouldn't... or something. Can't even fathom!

Don't support trash games like New Vegas and buy Fallout 3 instead.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Awww yiss, about 25 minutes left till sales time.

Damnit I want Dragonborn but its so pricey! Why do they punish us that bought Skyrim day one for 59.99

You don't HAVE to get the legendary edition.

Well, there was one guy yesterday that has LoL as his favourite game ever...

But Lands of Lore is grea...

Oh.

 

[e36wheelman]

Looking at the Total War packs, seems like they're incomplete. Rome: Alexander and Medieval II: Kingdoms expansions aren't included, so even if you bought the Grand Master pack you'd have to get them separate. Are they worth getting?

In general which of the TW games are good for someone who doesn't play a lot of RTS?

Shogun 2 base game. If you like it get Rise/Fall of the samurai during the next sale.

I thought that guy was the dude who ended up in the press because he wanted Steam to remove Bioshock Infinite from his account because he was too offended that the game was forcing you to get baptized at the beginning lol.

Silly post, get them both.

It was not Bad Rats, it was a AAA game.

Random aside on the Bad Rats topic: If you want to gift someone a really bad game, gift him Eternities Child. There is even a guy working on that game, who is ashamed to have worked on it.

 

[lmpaler]

Plus mods

I like how Skyrim legendary edition bundle contains Skyrim legendary edition. Infinite recursive Skyrim!

It could still be Bad Rats. He might have mistaken a AAAA game for a AAA game.

This makes sense. Do you have any reference to support your claim?

Well, that's the "Legendary" edition, so I assume all the DLC.

Still too much. I want all that for, at maximum, $15.

But really, its just a delightful game that I would love to see expanded on.

This, in fact, may be a bit of a turn off.
I usually fell uncomfortable when I have to try different stuff in games (specs, combo, or.. like, I never played Dota2 because I'm always stuck in picking my hero).

But then again, when I hear about indie devs who put such love in their creations, something clicks in my brain, and I end up buying it even if I don't like the game (like what happened for Meat Boy and a lot of others).

Still, right now money's tight, and I think I'll put it back until last day "best of" sales.
