If anyone is debating about getting Prey, it's $30 on Newegg.
Gaf convinced me to refund Quantum Break after all the tepid reviews on it.

QB is a great game if you have the hardware for it. I was very surprised by the quality. Gameplay mechanics and animations are top notch. A typical Remedy game.

I put 25 good hours into Faerie Solitaire. It was done well, but I managed to beat the game before getting some of the time-based achievements. So if you're good at Solitaire-type games, you might consider it too easy.
Oh! Well I already refunded it, so I'll probably get it next sale, as I have way too many games I bought from this sale to devour. Appreciate the heads up there.
The comments involving framerates being a slight mess even with a top notch card is what deterred me.

I had great fun with Quantum Break. Even got all the achievements for it.

This is the official Steam thread until the 5th. So go ahead and post anime gifs if you'd like.
Hah, no gifs, I just saw this earlier today and thought it was funny
Come on Valve, the father has spoken, unban them at once
Hey Nabs! Appreciate it! Was about to buy it on Steam directly but found someone selling the key for 5$ in the Buy, Sell, Trade thread.
Thanks again for the heads up!

Ah, so there is - I've just completed my collection and see that I have the badge. I think that today may have been the first day by when completion was possible, so that will be why there's been no previous mention.

OK GAF, moment of truth.. I'm about done with Baldur's Gate EE, so now do I go for Wasteland 2 or Age of Decadence?

How do you scale and rotate the stickers? There's like billion of image libraries that Valve could have used for this but didn't
Click on a sticker and you'll see "rotate" and "stretch" icons, provided you've completed the page and unlocked it for editing.

Click on a sticker in the area under the picture to add it to the picture / Click on a sticker that is is in the picture. It will have a dotted box around it - remove is the X at the top left. Rotate is the anti-clockwise arrow button at the bottom left. Bottom right dot arrow is the enlarge or shrink.
You only need to click once to toggle that option and then move the mouse around. Click again to end.
Be careful of too many layers or stretching too big, as you can then make it impossible to edit (in which case refresh the page and start over)
think im about done with Hollow Knight. second attempt and just not enjoying it. at mantis lords right now. the platforming in this game is way too frustrating and there are so many times where inputs dont register its just driving me insane.
this was the only thing I bought during the sale..someone save me. I need something fun

Hey, no problem. Have fun! I can't wait to finally get a headset so I can be consumed by all these racing games.

sincerely?
I can vouch for both Faerie Solitaire and Card City Nights, both are good fun. Faerie Solitaire will last you quite a bit longer than Card City Nights, though. Also, I feel like you might be right on CCN being cheaper in the past.
This may be a bit too specific of a question, but does anyone know if a Steam version of X-wing Alliance can be combined with the CD-ROM version of X-wing/TIE Fighter for their graphical upgrades?
Dug my old discs out of storage, but XWA won't work with DOSBOX or Win10 by itself, and I don't feel like downloading questionable installers from random websites.

I'm with you on Mirror of Fate. It's actually quite alright. Better than 3DS performance goes a long way on making that game actually pretty decent.

Afair, I did a couple of missions on hard and had to change the difficulty to normal simply because of how difficulty is done in that game, enemies hp go up and your damage goes down, which is not fun at all. But the combat technique remained the same, dodge at the right time to trigger a slowdown and spam the attack button. The only way I managed to finish it was to play one mission per day, otherwise I'd be bored to tears.
As far as the plot goes, I personally hated it. It was nonsensical and predictable at the same time, which is a feat in itself. I guess japanese artsy games aren't for me.

Played an hour and half of Firewatch, LTTP but that's definitely some AAA voiceacting and writing, really good!
You get a badge and the ability to use the stickers and backgrounds as a picture you can feature on your your profile.

So, I have wanted to see how close the Steam tags were on a kind of map of Steam tags, where the closer two tags are, the more games share both tags. It turns out they are not that close.
Map of all the 336 Steam tags (you need a magnifier)
Anime is close to "Exploration", "Comedy", "Funny", "Story Rich", "Female Protagonist", while "Visual Novel" is very close to "Nudity"and "Cute".
I thought card games would be close to "Free To Play" and "Early Access", but it is not.
"Early Access" is close to "Survival", "Sandbox", "Free To Play" and... "Zombies". For rogue-lite games, no surprise, we get permadeath, procedural generation, dungeon crawler, etc. while rogue-like games are more associated to replay value, and that's it.

Not spooky for the most part. Unless you are terrified of inanimate objects turning on you.
I decided to dig into my remaining Assassin's Creed games (everything after 3). After a good amount of hours into Black Flag, it seems kind of...overrated? It's clearly a skin on top of AC3, and the expanded ship combat kind of loses its charm after you've boarded X ships. And the side missions are all pretty boring - the diving bell, bombing forts, assassination - there's nothing crafted and interesting save for a few of the main missions.
Is Rogue basically an extension of Black Flag?

It's almost literally Black Flag transplanted into a slightly different version of 3's colonial America.

Any essential mods for Binding of Isaac + DLC? It is only $2 more on Switch this week at Best Buy and that seems a better place to play it. Will get on Switch if no mods are needed.

I like Ubi games and think they make good games, but they really need to mix up some things. Every single Far cry, Assassin's creed, ect. Is the same thing after a few hours. AC has a cool concept and the core game is fun they just need to...make it less repetitive.
Hm. Maybe I will load it up when I get to it and see how I like the story. I already own everything except for the second two chronicles games. I wonder if I'll be able to mainline Black Flag to the end from where I am. I jumped into the first fort mission without seeing the warning to upgrade my ship in time but managed it. It's got some pretty decent upgrades at this point. But I definitely don't want waste time on whaling and hunting.
At least with Far Cry 3 and 4 I like the core gameplay of taking over camps. The stealth in AC3/Black Flag is really clumsy and the combat is very limited. They even took out the ability to block! And why can't you crouch between hiding spots?

I don't see how, considering the former was released by Epyx Games in 1983.
Ubisoft has very talented coders.

All this talk of BG2EE is gonna get me to reinstall it and play that again for the umteenth time.
I mean it would be a nice break from Darkest Dungeon. A game in which my most recent party was just completely destroyed by a surprise boss encounter in a dungeon IN WHICH I HAD ALREADY BEATEN THAT BOSS ONCE. You might think, oh I beat this boss once, why would it be in this dungeon multiple times. but no. Darkest Dungeon hates you and your characters. So you will apparently sometimes fight a boss multiple times in the same dungeon. Fun. By comparison BG2 is like a merry stroll down a brightly lit lane in the spring time.

Are there any other sites that do "quicklooks" for games? I like the Giant Bomb ones but they dont do a lot of games.

Between Dishonored 2 and Prey, which is better for a GTX 970 owner? I want 60 FPS locked or very rare drops.
