Bough Valkyria Chronicles... I already own it on PS3 but I feel like I needed it again.

I'm a sucker.

It's a great port, especially if you use some of the cosmetic mods, at a great price. You're not a sucker for taking that deal.

That said, some executive at Sega is laughing his ass off as the PC port continues to bring in money, probably in spite of the expectations of most other Sega execs.

 

[OraleeWey]

I'll ask again since I didn't get a response a few pages back, but...

I would love to know too.

 

[Grief.exe]

I would be interested to know how many games you have in your library, what your backlog looks like, and what games you like to play. Maybe you already have the games you want? I've been back into pc gaming for the last 2 years and I still love the sales. Usually I drop about 50 to 70 each sale.

You're exactly right, people don't realize that their interest in sales is directly correlated to their library size.

Soany people saying yesterday was underwhelming....that's because your library consists of thousands of games. Think of the millions that are new to PC gaming. Considering people outside your own bubble is difficult apparently.

 

[Sarcasm]

Why does it say No Card Drops remaning for the Monster thing for my wife..when she has gotten 0...

 

[Baron_Calamity]

I'll ask again since I didn't get a response a few pages back, but...

I didn't care for it too much. I was hoping it was a more realistic "Don't Starve" but its not that at all. it ends up being a weird roguelike game with a difficult interface. It looks nice and if you can't get enough of killing zombies, its got that for ya.

 

[Diablos]

Gone Home worth it for $6.79?

Yes.

 

[OraleeWey]

Any great coop games I should be looking for? Except for Portal 2, already played it.

 

[Canis lupus]

Gone Home worth it for $6.79?

No.

Hopefully Yakuza is in the pipelines

 

[Daria Morgendorffer]

Are the Blackwell games any good?

 

[Future PhaZe]

scholar of the first sin stand alone 50% off for 24 bucks

upgrade for those who bought dark souls 2 20% off 23 bucks

come the fuck on

 

[Shahadan]

Are the Blackwell games any good?

YES

 

[Dmented]

Grabbed Darksiders collection, why not. Seems interesting and of course... Steam refund.

Still mulling over Valkyria Chronicles. It looks like a game I could play but then it also doesn't. Again, sure, Steam refund but I don't know.

 

[Zeeman]

Restart everything.

Tried that already, still getting the same error

 

[Lain]

I'll ask again since I didn't get a response a few pages back, but...

I found it fun for what it is. The crafting felt limited in the end though and as you advance, inventory management becomes kinda annoying. Still, for the price, it's a more than OK experience and the zombie killing is fun.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Damn. KOF 98 with online play for 2.99 is such an amazing deal.

 

[holygeesus]

YES

I'm after these as well but they are bound to go cheaper.

 

[toddhunter]

While that is very true! It also isn't quite the same as it used to be, simply because of regional price gouging.

Back in the day, you were certain of getting some great deals, no matter where you are. Now most of them are double what you would want to pay anyway.

Also a lot of modern games are shit.

Those would be the two main problems with sales these days.

Steam refund can't give you back the hours of your life spent playing games like Darksiders.

 

[marrec]

Do you like PnC games? If so they're some of the best being made today. They actually get better with the subsequent releases which is rare.

 

[Darkroronoa]

YES

double yes

 

[kami_sama]

YAY. Motherfucking YAY.

joke post? yay.

Nay.


...just fucking with ya, the game is great. It looks beautiful too.

YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY

Well then. It looks like it will be my first purchase this sale.

 

[The Elite]

Damn. KOF 98 with online play for 2.99 is such an amazing deal.

My only purchase so far.

Is 2002 any good?

 

[rainking187]

So do you not really have to do anything to get cards? I only played the clicker game for like ten minutes earlier but when I signed into Steam just now I had two cards.

 

[FaintDeftone]

Crosses fingers for a daily Dark Souls 2 deal today.

 

[Bronetta]

It's a Steam Sale. I don't wanna think, I just wanna buy buy buy!

 

[Baron_Calamity]

So do you not really have to do anything to get cards? I only played the clicker game for like ten minutes earlier but when I signed into Steam just now I had two cards.

It seems to me that if you buy something (anything really), and in the clicker game your team beats a level, you have a chance to get a monster game card drop, up to 3 a day. This could be completely wrong but from my experience with my kids accounts and my account, that's the way it works so far.

 

[JobenNC]

For a dollar over my modest wallet balance I picked up Revengeance, Valkyria Chronicles, and Mirror's Edge.

 

[Kagemusha]

Why does it say No Card Drops remaning for the Monster thing for my wife..when she has gotten 0...

Is she level zero? I think your Steam level has to be over 1 for sale cards to drop.

 

[Muffin Awesome]

I hope one of my wish listed games hits a sale today I have my money queued up, just waiting:

Wolfy TNO
Wolfy NB

FF8
FF7

TitS
Ys

Fingers crossed, I just don't want to mess up and miss anything.

 

[Baron_Calamity]

It's a Steam Sale. I don't wanna think, I just wanna buy buy buy!

Kinda but also it does seem the percentage deals have been sliding. In sales pasts, new games only a few months old getting 75% or more off in the daily deals was common. Now it seems like 25% - 33% for anything released in 2015. Plus we have companies raising the price before sales. Something retail stores did for years but it hasn't been that common on steam until this year.

This is not to say this sale is bad or terrible. Just different.

Believe in dailies for TitS and Ys!

my god no i have car payments and phone payments and especially other game payments!!!

I imagine publishers and independent devs crunched the numbers over the years and concluded it's better for their bottom line not to slash prices too early even it they were getting those daily spikes. That's my suspicion anyway.

 

[Baron_Calamity]

I hope one of my wish listed games hits a sale today I have my money queued up,

Same here. Good luck.

My top 20 wish list is all indie games and most aren't that new. 75% is my bottom line discount before I pull the trigger and most of them are sitting at 10% - 25%. However they haven't been dailies yet (except for Detective Case which I did buy yesterday) so there is still hope.

 

[The Cool One]

anyone elsse having troouble joining this "monster summer game"

The hours of darksiders i played were not enough for my lifetime
Good solid games even if 2 had avrious misteps.

 

[BigAT]

Is there any way to increase the number of games that appear in your recent games list when you right click the system tray icon?

 

[Ladekabel]

Added 20€ to my Steam wallet and immediatly bought Valkyria Chronicles!... which I'll play after I finish Trails in the Sky, the Kingdom Hearts 2,5 Remix HD Collection and Catherine.

Now waiting for a Resident Evil 4 discount and maybe 1-2 other small things.

Anything that goes on sale on your wishlist will have an e-mail sent to your account e-mail.

 

[braves01]

In for Valkyria Chronicles and KOF2002. So glad I didn't buy yesterday at $7.49, but I'm sad that there are no more SNK games left to buy.

 

[Wensih]

Gone Home worth it for $6.79?

I'd say wait; I've gotten a better deal on it before. It's a great game though.

 

[Daria Morgendorffer]

YES

Do you like PnC games? If so they're some of the best being made today. They actually get better with the subsequent releases which is rare.

double yes

Alright, I'll get them during the sale then.

 

[Baron_Calamity]

Anything that goes on sale on your wishlist will have an e-mail sent to your account e-mail.

I have that setup and almost never get those emails during the sitewide sales.

 

[AkuMifune]

Sir, You are Being Hunted for $1.99 is crazy.

 

[MickeyKnox]

I'll ask again since I didn't get a response a few pages back, but...

It's a neat little game with a really great crafting mechanic

 

[mm04]

It's my first Steam sale too. PC Gaming... where have you been all my life?

A few years back I posted a 1 to 1 comparison of console game prices vs. Steam/other downloadable services prices at the time and the amount you save per game as a PC gamer adds up to quite a bit. We all know that PC gaming can be expensive to start but the gap in total money spent for gaming isn't as drastic as console-centric folks would have you believe. And this is completely discounting the fact of better game performance and visual quality and non-game related computing activities you also use your PC for.

 

[suplex]

I can't connect to the monster game at all. If I click on play now I get an error, if I try to join a friends game it says I need to be within 10 levels of the game.

Anyways, picked up KoF 98 and 02. I probably own them elsewhere, but might as well at $3 a piece.

 

[Deft Beck]

I'm getting more into fighting games. Which KOF game should I get if I haven't played the series much?

Although, they are both so cheap that I might just get both.

 

[Nabs]

Remember folks:
