Support NeoGAF

[fuzzylogic]

I can't decide whether to pick up this variety bundle I've created for myself, or buy only Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun for $30. Really liked Shadow Tactics' demo and I'd waste less of my life on one game I'll never play instead of on seven games I'll never play.

Search box works fine for me in browser: Just erase all text in the box and enter your search criteria.

it works, just in an odd way, if you go like this: in the search window press ctr-A, then type the game name, full, no typos.

At least that's how it works for me

Thanks, that works. But what's wrong with Valve though? How hard is it to program (and test!) a simple editbox?

 

[shockdude]

this is new.

Edit: and it's fine now.

 

[Sarcasm]

Is swat 4 on steam?

 

[Patrick S.]

Are people panicking that Steam will run out of games or something? :/

worked fine before, can only assume the summer sale update borked it somehow.

Nope

 

[Wok]

Price mistake?



It looks like the discount of The Way was applied to the whole bundle:

 

[n0uhad]

caved in and did it. VR wishlist will have to wait, food and sustenance are more important for the moment

 

[Large Professor]

I'm looking for an indie game that came out 3 or 6 months ago. It's a Zelda 2D-like with neoretro graphics. Any ideas?

 

[Eusis]

Well, Black Friday in the US is November, so they'll be better in the sense that some titles will have natural price drops between now and then, so even if the discount is the same, the price will be lower. But beyond that, no reason to think they'll be better.

I suspect some publishers may consider that a better time to dive deeper, and some games not on sale will probably be on sale then, though they might apply that to Christmas itself rather than just Black Friday, which would be more a Thanksgiving sale anyway.

I was in a similar spot. Was doubting between buying Xenoverse 2 or a handful of indies/cheap stuff. Unlike the cheap stuff I had in my basket that I was mildly interested in playing some time, I'm actually itching to play Xenoverse 2 right now, so I went with the latter. I've already got a backlog of a couple of hundred cheap games that I bought because I thought that were good deals rather than great games, so I figured my time and money would be better spent enjoying what I'm interested in playing right now.

Wow, I'm getting higher speed from a US (NY) server

That sounds like Blossom Tales.

I only want 3 games from there though :/

in France (near the German border)

 

[Patrick S.]

Man, fuck that! I'm not even buying anything, I just want to play one of my games but can't because of forced updates and shit download speed (((

Either Secrets of Grindea, or Hyper Light Drifter.

Paris server for me:

Mob Psycho 100 starts out pretty strong.

Arataka is such a fake asshole.

 

[Ascheroth]

Let me just say this:
There is no way you're going to play all of this before the next sale, where they will likely be cheaper or at the very least have the same price. Think about that for a moment and refund all the games that can wait while you still can.

 

[chugen]

Paris server for me:

weird

and Berlin server works fine for me

 

[b&jy77VjiKn$#F]

What a second, he moves WAY too similar to Steve from Tekken.

Cuz Urban Reign is based on Tekken engine at the time. It even has Paul and Law in the roster.

 

[MarkMclovin]

Good to see Civilization 6 half price.

Got it cheaper though at CDKEYS.

 

[Ascheroth]

Mob Psycho 100 starts out pretty strong.

Arataka is such a fake asshole.

Like I've been saying, Mob Psycho is art.

Im on Berlin now, d/l at 56 bytes per second for a while, then download error. I'm REALLY angry now. I had an hour to play, wanted to play a specific game of mine but I can't because of the stupid forced auto updates. I'm downloading a 28mb patch for almost an hour now. Result? have to go out and haven't been able to play my game

Hi guys,

I'm mainly a Playstation user but it will receive my new gaming laptop tomorrow and I would like to profit of it to try some "Xbox console exclusives". I will buy Ori and D4. Are they other games of the same kind you recommend me on this sale?

 

[dr_rus]

Kinda went a bit overboard yesterday and purchased ~10 games outside of wishlist, just going off Metacritic scores and Steam reviews:

Hopefully I won't regret it...

Forza Horizon 3 and Gears but for that you'll have you go to Microsoft's game store. Halo Wars is on Steam if that's your kinda thing. Quantum Break is mediocre by all accounts, but I haven't played it myself.

 

[ramparter]

Will definitely get Rise of Nations EE for 5$. Considering also AoE II HD with all expansions.

 

[Lanrutcon]

Base price is $20, sale price is $5 in my region (South Africa). Eh Besthesda.

Is it possible to buy games with a VPN and not get banned? Castlevania LoS Ultimate isn't available in my region. LoS 2 is, for some reason. How would I go about buying a game that isn't available in my region?

Oh, hey. A local.

Didn't Steam clamp down on VPN purchases and redeeming keys from other regions?

Alan Wake, Quantum Break?

 

[Ocarina_117]

Likelihood of Prey being further discounted?

 

[Tizoc]

iT KEEps getting better.
Reigen-Sensei is the GOAT.

 

[daxy]

Alan Wake, Quantum Break?

Alan Wake was pulled from Steam a few weeks ago. Might be available through third party resellers though.

Likelihood of Prey being further discounted?

In the next few weeks on Steam? None.
Try other marketplaces like Gamersgate, Humble Store, Gamesplanet, Gamebillet, etc. (Or simpler yet: wishlist it on isthereanydeal). It's apparently 35 EUR on Amazon atm.

 

[kiyomi]

Alan Wake isn't on Steam anymore. Might be available through third party resellers though.

Oh, shoot, I totally forgot.

 

[Tizoc]

CDKeys has it cheaper if you're interested

If you are after some eye candy, Ryse might be worth a look.

 

[someguyinahat]

EDIT: Another game in the bundle also looks pretty decent:

The Night of the Rabbit? Terrific game. One of the few Daedalic games that has a protagonist you want to root for, unlike the asshole Rufus in Deponia or the sad sack Sadwick (nominative determinism!) in the Whispered World. Heartily recommend.

tRANSlation felt pretty wonky to me so I couldn't enjoy it. I do recommend the Dark Eye PnC games though.

 

[AlanOC91]

My hauls:

Was actually pretty expensive mainly because of Attack on Titan and Berserk. But I can't see them ever going too cheap.

Dark Fear didn't get a discount at all but it was like €3 and seems really really fun.

 

[MaxiLive]

I'm guessing this may of already been answered but how many cards can you get per a day during this sale, is it 2? If it is more how do you go about getting them?

I've completed the discovery queue twice for 2 cards but I think there is usually 3 per a day?

So true -- Night of the Rabbit is probably my favorite Daedalic adventure game. Lovely game.

Is Pathologic Classic HD worth it or should I wait for the remake?

 

[Freeman76]

caved in and did it. VR wishlist will have to wait, food and sustenance are more important for the moment

That is fucking insane man! were you starved of games as a kid or something?

 

[Dragon1893]

As always, I'll vouch for Xanadu Next, a chronically overlooked and underrated dungeon-crawler from the same developer which brought us the Ys and Trails games. Feel free to get more details in the OT.

Trails is one of my favorite franchises but I don't like Ys, if Xanadu is very similar in terms of gameplay it might not be up my alley

I actually got a third when I did a third pass through the discovery queue even though steam didn't tell me it would give me another card.

It's more RPG-ish than Ys IMO.

Hahaha, congrats! Happy for you

I'll fourth it : P
Xanadu Next is fantastic.

How's the story and atmosphere?
