Support NeoGAF

[Kid Ska]

I'd think you'd only need like 50 active players to really blow through levels on the minigame.. just seeing the numbers on the lanes on my game.. of the like 900+ players.. only 10-15 are actively playing at all.. you can tell by how many switch lanes after a kill to an active lane.. it's surprisingly little.

Yeah I totally want to get a GAF game going when the switch happens. If we all had autoclickers we would annihilate this shit.

I leveled my auto cannon and little else.

so does anyone think Tales of the Borderlands will drop any lower than 50% this sale?

 

[cyba89]

I used to regularly see 90% sales. Now, that is basically never.

I see two 90% sales and ten 80%+ sales on the front page right now.
I did every summer sale since the first 2010 and the discounts were not significantly better (or worse). You just bought every older game you are interested in and of course newer titles wont be 75% off two months after release.
Some act as if the whole store was 90% off back in the day.

 

[Finalow]

I still can't play this stupid game "pls try again laterz". am I the only one here

Isn't it already a daily deal? If so it can't possibly go lower.

Frequently ignored answers:
Q: What is the general rule of thumb when it comes to purchasing?
A: During the Summer Sale, virtually everything is discounted and there are featured deals with greater discounts on the front page of the store. If an item/franchise is a featured deal, then it is at its lowest price. There is no difference in price between the various types of featured deals (e.g. short of a mistake, a game being 75% off as a Daily Deal will also be 75% off as a Flash Sale).

all signs point to probably not. it's currently a daily

No. It's a featured deal, so this is as low as it will go unless a mistake is made. The matter of when to buy is covered in the OP.

Play Long War!

The developer recently called the base game a "20-hour tutorial" for this mod.

Cool, bookmarked. Thanks.

 

[cyba89]

Mirrors Edge is 78% off right now. Might be a mistake since it was 50% off yesterday.

 

[zma1013]

Is the $50 steam card ebay deal code not working anymore? CFATHERS10 gives me a message like the remaining balance on the code has been all used up.

Valve was a bit -- well, massively -- late with applying the featured deal discounts on a few of the games (ME included).

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

man, why Can't I get these kinda multiple and immediate responses when I get stuck tryna find a potion recipe in witcher 3.

 

[JaseC]

Yeah, I was hoping to at least by 10 $100 cards, but I live in Australia and got paid on the day the deal expired.

Oh ok.

And the censored Darkness 2-version is still full price...

Check the OP.

 

[aku:jiki]

Because recipe drops are random and as such no one can answer that question for you brah.

 

[Khronico]

Well, decided on KOF2002 for my first summer sale purchase. Everything else is either too far past my price point or not interesting to me. Hopefully today will bring new and exciting discounts.

 

[JaseC]

Oh ok.

Yeah, whoever manages 2K's Steam presence didn't apply Summer Sale discounts to the package/s. This happens sometimes (see Ubi always forgetting that Dawn of Discovery is separate to Anno 1404),but even though there is a deadline for the submission of sale discounts, Valve will fix oversights, so try e-mailing pr@2k.com with an explanation of the situation.

 

[Burnburn]

Alright, so I bought the Metro Bundle and Towerfall, that would net me enough money to get a steam card, right? Because I didn't get any card, I think it didn't register my Towerfall buy. What to do? D:

 

[Sarcasm]

Think I found out why my wife isn't getting cards.

It appears you've made a valid purchase on the Steam Store, but it's not 30 days old yet. More info...
If nothing further occurs to restrict your access, you'll be able to use The Community Market on 7/12/2015, 1:11:45 PM.

Welp oh well I guess.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Today is my day off, surely Steam will grace me with perfect deals.

That's what it says in the rules. So yes.

 

[Kid Ska]

Is the Boss Loot upgrade even worth it?

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

Got the GTA complete pack. Holy shit GTA IV is the worst piece of sh*t game I've ever installed.

Had to download gaming for windows or something? and then launch it in windows 7 compatibility mode. the game launches in 800x600 and is a real pain in the ass to try adjust and even then it's still totally broken cause you can't adjust anything at all.

I give up. Completely uninstalling it. How can Rockstar allow this? I know the game is years old but c'mon. Just happy I got it on a sale for dirt cheap.

Ever since this sale started Rockstar has gone done fucked up big time. Ripping off people for GTA V and IV won't even run on a modern system.

It runs, but like garbage and you need launch options to get around vram... http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto_IV

 

[Kadin]

Noooooo! The game is over message just popped up. Now back to square one... ugh

 

[Poetic]

1 hour hype. Hoping to put a dent into my wishlist.

 

[Onemic]

if ive never played the original HL, is it still worth buying or should I just get Black Mesa?

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

Thanks but I give up. I just wanted to revisit the game. More hassle than it's worth.

 

[Kid Ska]

Oh shit, guess it resets at noon EST.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

So the game just died... And everything is relocked?

 

[The Handsome Llama]

I can't believe that mini-game is Vavle's most recent game in ages!

 

[Vamphuntr]

So the game just died... And everything is relocked?

It resets at noon EST everyday...

 

[MrGlugi]

WTF?! I was just kicked out of the monster game... And my progress was reset! I can't join my previous game, just start new one. Fuck it...

EDIT: Ok, thanks Vamphuntr for info!

 

[the_firewithin]

Today is Skylines day right? or will Volvo wait for E3 to start

 

[Kadin]

WTF?! I was just kicked out of the monster game... And my progress was reset! I can't join my previous game, just start new one. Fuck it...

Working as intended. Now we get to do it all again today starting from the beginning.

 

[Yrael]

Yay, I can finally start a monster game.

 

[twothunder]

Bought Valkyria Chronicles , Double Dragon Neon and the KOF triple pack.
Pretty good prices

 

[Tarin02543]

Yesterday I bought:

- upgrade from ds2 to ds2:sotfs 20 €
- edge 0,3 € (90% discount)
- killer is dead nightmare edition 10 €
- sonic cd 2 €
- metal gear ground zeroes 10 €

I think I'll buy a couple of more games in about one hour.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

I don't even know what other games I want to buy. All I got on my wishlist is Fallout 3/NV both at 9gbp. guess i'm just waiting to see if they go lower.

but bring on 6pm. i'm sure there will be something i'll grab.

 

[Videospel]

Oh no, I thought the monster game would be going for one more hour. Only managed to get 2 cards out of it today, even though I played for 6-7 hours.

 

[yuraya]

Play the original. Its still a timeless classic and better than 99.999% of games today.

Also wait for the dailies because Valve will surely put up their games one of these days.

But those aren't daily deals! You done fucked it up.

Guys. Seriously. If you have too much money wait for the dailies and then donate the difference to a good cause.

 

[DaBargainHunta]

Oh no, I thought the monster game would be going for one more hour. Only managed to get 2 cards out of it today, even though I played for 6-7 hours.

Not to rub salt in your wounds, but I played for 6-7 seconds and got two cards. The game is a boring waste of time.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Is everyone's Steam level being 0 an error on my end?

 

[Kadin]

Haha. Started up a new monster game and it finally grew to 1000/1000 players and then immediately, "The game is now over" popped up. So yeah, probably best to just wait until 10am PT to try and start again.
