The thought that someone is watching this video and thinking "Yes! This is what I want in my life!" just seems so absurd to me. But to each their own.

Not everything can be as awesome as Train Simulator.

 

[mrgone]

So did anyone from Valve explain why the mascots (Sir Roderick et al.) did not appear at all during the sale?

The high price on Prison Architect is actually their bail

 

[metalshade]

what on earth are you taking about. there's some mutters in this thread alright.

Guessing you missed memo that hyperbole and GAF are the greatest of friends?

 

[Tellaerin]

Hello my good fellow GAFfers, finally, I'm back! I've missed you all so much it's not even funny...!

Welcome back! We missed you too.

You missed pricing errors on Just Cause (the first one) and GalCiv, and the Steam community's poor taste in games. (And me getting all sappy and sentimental about how much I'm going to miss these threads when the sale's over, though most people apparently missed that in all the freaking out about Dragon's Lair winning the community choice vote, which is something I still can't fathom.)

Do the old fallout games still hold up? I bought the collection anyway, since it's dirt cheap, but are those games still good by todays standards? Also, any mods I should look into? Thanks.

Someone gifted me "The Ship" and I quickly clicked accept and now I can't even tell who it was to thank them. How do you tell who gave you a gift?

I think you get an email.

Summer Sale has taught me 2 things:

1 - Steam Community have no clue what to vote for
2 - Steam Community have no clue about economics, pricing and the market. UNDERCUT UNTIL THERE IS NO VALUE!

Pretty disappointing on both counts. I think my votes won maybe 3 times, out of 30.

On another note if anyone has an extra copy of System Shock 2 and would like to trade for it, please pm me.

Reminder that Cart Life is on sale for $2. Been looking forward to playing this empathy-focused story-driven game since the Giant Bomb Quick Look.

That's how any market works when the supply vastly outstrips demand. If people were interested in buying them at higher prices you wouldn't see 50,000 of these cards just sitting around on the marketplace.

Wasn't The Ship the game that was actually multiplying exponentially for a while? You get it as a gift, then you get three more copies to gift, etc. I was hoping we could drown all the Bad Rats in a sea of The Ship, eventually

That's how any market works when the supply vastly outstrips demand. If people were interested in buying them at higher prices you wouldn't see 50,000 of these cards just sitting around on the marketplace.

Oh shit, your avatar just reminded me that Spelunky's out in two weeks! That's not nearly enough time to recover from the broken knees and severed fingers the summer sale leaves in its wake.

The GAF thread has taught me that people expect things that they've gotten for doing nothing, that a substantial number of others have gotten for also doing nothing, should hold significant value despite either of those facts.

 

[chixdiggit]

Everyone who didn't buy Euro Truck Simulator is a bad person.

After watching some videos I just can't see how it can be any fun. I mean it looks exactly like going to work.
I used to drive a large delivery truck and in no way would I want to pay money to simulate it at home and not get paid for it.
I must admit I almost did pick it up because of GAF hype.

 

[outunderthestars]

Incoming PM, it may or may not work.

Sadly it didn't work, but i appreciate the effort none the less.

To buy or to not buy Dishonored?

I believe in Gabe Newell

 

[Calavera520]

any word on differences between the thief games on steam versus the ones from gog? aside from drm?

i'm asking with a particular interest in compatibility. i know new version of dark engine had been released recently by looking glass folks on their forum and was wondering if the steam version incorporated that?

the gog versions include that as far as i understand.

Buy this game people.

It's purposely tedious, but very addictive.

[NG28]

Daily deal games shouldn't be put up for flash sales and community deals. You end up seeing the same games on sale 2-3 times, and some games never get a sale. Daily's go for 48 hours yes? That should be enough time for anyone to get the game.

 

[KiDdYoNe]

Well, since it's THE END, i have some extras and still my wanted list has some games. So:

[H]
Bastion x2
Trine 2: Complete Story x2
PAYDAY x1
Fallout Collection (1, 2, Tactics) x2
Galactic Civilizations Complete x1
+ some McPixel, Time Gentelmen and Serious Sam Random.

[W]
Numbers 1-10

PM if something.

Of course buy.

Unless for whatever reason you don't have the cash at the time the game goes on sale. (Like I didn't for most of the week, since I was waiting to get paid.) Remember, not everyone is in the same position as you are. For some of us, the repeat sales are actually useful.

 

[Enco]

To buy or to not buy Dishonored?

Literally the easiest question to answer I have ever seen in my life.

Yes.

Well I guess if you used to do it for a living, maybe a game about it wouldn't really have the same novelty, al-right, you win.
It has cards......so technically you are getting paid for it...........

 

[AlphaTwo00]

So, Borderlands 2 is on sale again, but not the season pass?

 

[VandalD]

To buy or to not buy Dishonored?

Do it. Do it.

 

[mannerbot]

Anyone have an extra Reus trading card? I have extras for Dead Island Riptide, Kerbal Space Program, and Tomb Raider.

Super thanks.

Oh man, I forgot it was coming so soon... I'm going to need to power through some of these games before Spelunky sucks all my free time.

 

[FACE]

You're the best. Was looking on NMA Fallout as well, along with the restoration project.

You're too kind.

I've used the hi-res patch and this unnoficial patch(version 1.35) for my recent FO playthrough.

 

[The_Monk]

Most recent news:

Kentucky Route Zero lost to Dragon's Lair in the community vote.

Everyone (including me) went crazy.

What...? :/ WHY

where have you been, Monk?
we missed you too.

PM Sent fellow GAFfer.

Yaay, The_Monk has returned! Welcome back man.

Oh, hey look, another great fellow GAFfer, glad to see you here good sir!

Welcome back! We missed you too.

You missed pricing errors on Just Cause (the first one) and GalCiv, and the Steam community's poor taste in games. (And me getting all sappy and sentimental about how much I'm going to miss these threads when the sale's over, though most people apparently missed that in all the freaking out about Dragon's Lair winning the community choice vote, which is something I still can't fathom.)

Thank you very much for the kind update, I missed you all too, good people!

What does this mean fellow GAFfer? This thread is getting closed? A thread just for the final day deals? Thanks in advance for answering.

 

[Jason Frost]

So, how many votes left?

 

[Crayons]

Summer Sale has taught me 2 things:

The Summer Sale has taught me that nobody panics when things go according to plan. Even if the plan is horrifying! If, tomorrow, I tell SteamGAF that, like, Borderlands 2 will go on sale, or Skyrim will be a daily deal, nobody panics, because it's all "part of the plan". But when I say that little Kentucky Route Zero won't go on sale, well then everyone loses their minds!
