Support NeoGAF

[Boss Doggie]

Nothing for me today. Will wait then.

 

[maquiladora]

Picked up Sniper Elite 3. The only other game on there night now that interests me is Farming Sim but its not enough of a discount for me to pull the trigger.

 

[Tecnniqe]

This is lame...I have to sit here clicking stuff to get summer badge. I know there are other ways but I miss the vote system

Yeah, the vote system was great, i just had to use my phone to click what i wanted to vote for and got one card.

I don't have time to spam a monster that's broken all day D:

 

[Red]

Hoping for Axiom Verge.

 

[elementalsin]

No Life is Strange discount at all?

Fingers crossed for this one as well :/

 

[bndadm]

They all come as separate codes, you could just give away the ones you don't want on GAF.

Ah I didn't realize that. I'm not a usual Humble purchaser so I wasn't aware how it worked. Well, now I know for next time.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Hoping for Axiom Verge.

Not gonna happen. As others posted, the dev went on record to state that he won't be putting the game in sale until fall/winter.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

I'm a little sad I won't be checking every 8 hours for new deals. But sleep is good too.

From the Minigame FAQ:

Play the Monster Summer Game
If you’re Steam Level 5 and above, you’ll get a Summer Sale trading card at random intervals while playing, up to three per 24-hour period. (If you reach Steam Level 5 before the end of the sale, you’ll be granted the cards you earned by playing the Monster Summer Game).

Also, this was posted a few pages back, dunno if doing this will also get you cards, or if you have to actually click "Resume Your Game" to get them:

 

[Yarbskoo]

The problem isn't that GTAV isn't discounted enough, though that is the reason I'm not buying it.

The problem is that they're tacking extra costs onto the base game in order to fabricate a "__% off" deal that's complete garbage. It's a promotion, but it's not a sale.

 

[Red]

Not gonna happen.

5% off maybe?

Ah, saw your edit. Will wait for the Christmas sale then.

 

[nded]

No they raised the price just to make it look discounted.

I think they just bundled different things with it instead of discounting it.

 

[MattyG]

Anyone else still having trouble signing in and staying signed in?

Also, I can't even start a session of the mini game.

 

[Infinite Justice]

5% off maybe?

IIRC the dev said it wont have one for a while.

Also if there was an amount it would have been added at the start of the sale

 

[depths20XX]

I suppose I'll see if I can get a refund on Valkyria Chronicles to get it on sale. I got it at launch (which is rare for me) and haven't touched it yet. :|

Pretty sure that's not how getting refunds works.

 

[The Omega Man]

Any chance of Shovel Knight getting a juicy discount?

 

[longnosedgoblin]

Is Ziggurat any good? 70% of at the moment.

Yeah. If they didn't want to put it on sale that is fine but tacking on extra things (in game currency microtransactions) and then "discounting" it to the regular price is kinda dickish, especially when its then advertised at x% off. I mean, yeah, the game + the money is discounted but it's like, letter of the law against spirit of the law. Yeah, it's a discount in a sale, but it's not really a discount in a sale.

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

Picked up Blue Shift & Opposing Force, so will play Half-Life soon. I had played it once more than 10 years ago on PS2 and can't remember anything about it.

Also picked up Operation Flashpoint Red River and Bet On Soldier; both will probably not be discounted further.

And picked up Despair. For £0.07 and trading cards, I can't go wrong.

 

[OrlanisWorks]

I think they just bundled different things with it instead of discounting it.

Just be careful. The addition of the Shark Card might make the game impossible to get a refund. Microtransaction attached to it.... pretty goddamned clever, Rockstar.

 

[Miker]

Any chance of Shovel Knight getting a juicy discount?

Pretty sure it'll drop to $7.50 at the lowest. It was $10 during the winter sale.

 

[DSix]

Please Help: Should I grab Styx?

 

[Danthrax]

so the click game, like, doesn't respond to my clicks


what the fuck

 

[Bytes]

I think I understand now. The whole point of the Monster game is to wear out our mice, thus encouraging us to buy the Steam Controller.

 

[JoeyJungle]

Any chance of Shovel Knight getting a juicy discount?

I think it had a discount of 25% or 50% not too long ago, so it'll probably get one of those again.

 

[mullet2000]

Any Wreckfest impressions? Looks cool.

 

[The Omega Man]

Pretty sure it'll drop to $7.50 at the lowest. It was $10 during the winter sale.

Cool, I'll be waiting

 

[Aaron D.]

Anyone notice that the Steam web browser isn't showing "X # of Friends want this game" on individual game pages?

I want to get some gifting on, but it's not showing Wishlisted games from my Friends list.

 

[Gravy Boat]

Did GTAV really cost £51 before the sale?

 

[Dreavus]

Pretty sure that's not how getting refunds works.

I thought that was explicitly how it works, according to the OP. Insofar as it not being abuse, which I'm fine with.

 

[TheTux]

I gave that Monster game a go. It loaded, screen said kill the monsters, but there was no monsters on my screen, and I got a message saying I died.

Harder than Dark Souls.

LOL.

Yeah it's buggy to me too

 

[Item Box]

Yeah, thought that was just me. It's not showing up

 

[FF Seraphim]

Shit I still cannot get on... says 1 million people playing... talking about not being prepared for the server load.

 

[Impeccable]

Follow-up since I'm a virgin.

Prison Archetect is something I want and it's at 75%, I'm assuming the max it would go to is 85%?

 

[garath]

Pretty sure that's not how getting refunds works.

That's kind of exactly how it works.

 

[Aaron D.]

Is Ziggurat any good? 70% of at the moment.

I pulled the trigger.

Giant Bomb Quick Look sold me ages ago.

Just been waiting for a nice discount like this.

 

[Caerith]

I keep clicking, but the only thing I'm killing is the little hamster running in a wheel that's powering Valve's servers.

 

[IcyRhythms]

I'm probably alone in this but I'm not feeling the design of this sale. Too generic and looks pretty standard. Oh well, hopefully a couple of games I want go on the dailies!

 

[Kid Ska]

lmfao
genius

 

[El Topo]

Hard to blame them. There's only so much you can do. Just ignore it.

 

[cyba89]

Any Wreckfest impressions? Looks cool.

The basic game is fun and the destruction is really good but it does not have much content right now and got no update for eight months.
It will get a big new patch this month: http://steamcommunity.com/games/228380/announcements/detail/242413803139076759

 

[chuckddd]

Dammit Valve, fix your mini-game!

 

[SliChillax]

Steam not working for me. The monster game doesn't work, neither the market or the wishlist.

 

[Asgaro]

 

[Starwolf_UK]

I saw that but I couldn't quite figure out how to only buy Super Meat Boy (didn't want the extra games).

Humble Bundle gives you a Steam key for each game (if you don't want them just ignore them or better still modbot give away them...there might be one person left who doesn't own World of Goo) and can fully customise where your money goes via the Choose where your money goes option.

If you are into super Meat Boy though, Dustforce might be up your alley.

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

That's kind of exactly how it works.

But it launched months ago, while the refund grace period is only 2 weeks.

If it isn't a daily or flash, it can go lower.

 

[Zombie James]

Anyone else having issues logging on through the web site? Most of the time it just sits there spinning for a while, other times it says the password is wrong (it's not).

I suppose. The most important thing here is that Valve made a new game lol

 

[Dr.Acula]

Thoughts on left for dead 2?????

One of the best games ever. It's not a daily though.
