Anyone else getting one "Not available in your region" game? It's not the Indie Bundle.

 

[Shadybiz]

Not much for me today, but I am tempted to get Medieval II, just so I don't have to fool with the disc anymore; for $2.50, why not?

 

[Lyude77]

whats the last game?

Indie Bundle VII. Avadon, QUBE, Dungeons of Dredmor, Vessel, and Zombie Driver.

People who have Chantelise or Fortune Summoners: Can you give general impressions for me/us? I have Recettear and like it, but I'm not sure about the other two. Thanks in advance.

I refreshed mine and it was the Indie Bundle. If it's not that, it's gonna be one of the ones on the previous page.

 

[SparkTR]

I don't want to buy all of the Total War games because I know I will never play all of them. So if I'm going to pick 1 or 2 of the ones on offer, which are the better ones?

Get Shogun 2 and Rome. Rome is antiquated these days, so use mods.

 

[HoosTrax]

Anybody know of a site where they've saved all the different pictures? I've missed a couple, I think.

Just refresh it a few times and it'll update.

 

[Hakkuei]

Should I bother with Thief collection or just buy Deadly Shadows?

 

[Fuzzy]

Today's update.

 

[MaritalWheat]

Yes Sins Trinity for $5!!! THANK YOU STEAM. Question, which Thief game is the one people always lovingly talk about, Deadly Shadows? I want to try it.

 

[Pancakes]

Chantelise - A Tale of Two Sisters for $2.49, is it worth it GAF? I really enjoyed Reccetear but it mostly because of the Item Shop portion of the game.

 

[sorijealut]

For new page: Yes, this appeared as "region locked"

 

[echoshifting]

Well, I'd kinda like to pick up another Carpe fulgur game, but I haven't finished Recettear anyway and getting all the Thief games in my S.library is too good to pass up. I don't think I ever finished the second one, and I never tried Deadly Shadows.

 

[Bricky]

The Recettear-demo was awesome, bought. Furthermore, I can finally complete my Thief-collection.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Holy shit

I've owned Recettear for nearly 2 years and put in like 4 hours

Put in moar!

Seriously, the game's not for everyone, but if you get hooked on unlocking new story paths and unveiling new items to sell in the shop, the replay value is quite sizable.
I've clocked about 17 hours thus far.

 

[Nelo Ice]

So the Steam versions of Thief work now and with the mods/patches? Was waiting for those games to go on sale on Steam or GOG.

 

[Increased Chances]

I have been waiting since the start of the sale to get Recettear cheap, I was starting to lose all hope. Nice it's here. I may get Chantelise as well...

 

[MDSLKTR]

I am safe today. That's one of the benefits of buying virtually everything in previous sales.

 

[Monroeski]

First one holds up great. It has a bit of a learning curve at the start but once you get the hang of firefights (take cover, use lean and peek like shooters were meant to be played back in the day!) it's a blast.

And then Call of Pripyat. Clear Sky sucks.

Odd to hear "back in the day" in reference to shooters requiring cover and leaning and peeking. To me "back in the day" means running into a room with a hundred enemies and firing everything you have until they die, ala Doom or Duke 3D.

 

[Petrie]

Ok, few questions.

I've never played a SoaSE game, should I just pick up the older one for cheap today?


Debating Fortune Summoner and Chantelise, are they worth playing?


Also never played a Thief game. Still worth playing? If so which?


also know nothing about Stalker, should I be looking its way?

Thanks for any and all help!

Repost for new page.

 

[Stumpokapow]

What do you think this means?



It was posted in the daily sales post in the Summer Sale Steam group.

the clues are written like that because la noire is the featured daily

the content of the messages are part of the ongoing plot of the summer sale

nothing more to read into it

 

[paperboywriter]

Indie Bundle

thanks @ ClosingADoor, The_Monk, sorijealut, Soyongdori, Ultimadrago, frozzted, Scoops and chaosblade!

 

[QuiteWhittle]

Is Sins of The Solar Empire:Trinity standalone?

 

[drhankmccoyphd]

Getting Stalker Clear Sky to round out my stalker addiction. How's Fortune Summoner? I love retro platformers and the looks really pretty. How does it hold up gameplay wise? And also thinking about Sins trilogy. Is it impenetrable as it looks?

 

[Crayons]

Damn you, Gabe. I tried to resist but just get coming back for more.


$4.99 Dead Space
$8.73 S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat, Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale
$9.97 STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl, Thief Gold, Thief II

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Does Thief play similar to the Hitman series? I kept hearing about Thief, but never played it.

 

[Lain]

Was playing SRTT while the info about the new daily deals popped up and, after checking, grabbed Recettear, thanks to one of you (I'm not sure who's who on Steam ><) who added me as a friend yesterday and made me go and try the demo for it. Feels good.

 

[SparkTR]

Yes Sins Trinity for $5!!! THANK YOU STEAM. Question, which Thief game is the one people always lovingly talk about, Deadly Shadows? I want to try it.

Deadly Shadows is the one everybody hates. get Thief 2.

 

[phantomspiker]

Should I bother with Thief collection or just buy Deadly Shadows?

You should bother, the other two hold up really well. Thief 2 is actually the best of the bunch IMO.

 

[ElectricBlue187]

The original Sins of a Solar Empire (Trinity) is also 75% off, just not clearly advertised. I think I'm going to buy that instead of rebellion.

The Stardock pack is a way better deal than just Rebellion too

 

[fluffydelusions]

I'm getting STALKER: SoC and Recettear. Never played either and from what I gather these are the best ones to get?

 

[Basileus777]

Is Sins of The Solar Empire:Trinity standalone?

Yes. It's the base game plus the first two expansions.

 

[sorijealut]

So much commotion for so many games.. Today's a good day.

Thief? Carpe Fulgur? could someone help me with these two?

 

[Discotheque]

Odd to hear "back in the day" in reference to shooters requiring cover and leaning and peeking. To me "back in the day" means running into a room with a hundred enemies and firing everything you have until they die, ala Doom or Duke 3D.

Haha I was a big fan of Duke 3D and Doom. But my back in the day is like 10-12 years ago. Doom and Duke Nukem would be "back in ancient times" for me now

 

[Levyne]

Probably nothing for me right now.

 

[phantomspiker]

Deadly Shadows is the one everybody hates. get Thief 2.

Eh, I really liked DS...buuuuuuuut I do agree that 2 is the best.

 

[JaseC]

The switchover of the Dailies tends to break the indie bundles. Give it a short while.

 

[Double]

I wanted to buy Hot Pursuit at $5 but I'm disgusted at the sudden price hike as the deal went up. I know I can request a Gaffer to gift it but, bah, I'm not spending any on this game.

Hm? What happened there?

 

[echoshifting]

Does Thief play similar to the Hitman series? I kept hearing about Thief, but never played it.

Well, I never played the third game but Thief 1&2 are nothing like Hitman.

 

[Sora_N]

Dammit Steam...I might pick up Chantelise just because it's the cheapest of the 3. If I like it, I'll pick up the other 2 games in the future or something.

 

[Speevy]

Got the Carpe Fulgur games.

I've considered Thief, but as cool as it is, I don't care for stealth games.

 

[Basileus777]

Dammit Steam...I might pick up Chantelise just because it's the cheapest of the 3. If I like it, I'll pick up the other 2 games in the future or something.

I'd recommend buying Recettear, it's easily the best of the three games.

 

[Guri]

Shadow of Chernobyl.

get Call of Pripyat too, it's great. And for teh love of God avoid Clear Sky!

Thanks! I also saw that Loyalty Promo thing. I shall be looking for mods now. Accepting (thread) suggestions, by the way.

 

[Nabs]

Dammit Steam...I might pick up Chantelise just because it's the cheapest of the 3. If I like it, I'll pick up the other 2 games in the future or something.

Pick up Recettear instead.

 

[DarkChronic]

So the Thief games hold up well, eh? This might sound silly since I'm sure it's not really the focus, but how is the story in those games?

 

[Enco]

Repeats. Repeats everywhere.

Crappy dailies. Nothing for me. Yay wallet!

 

[GreatMightySymp]

Debating Chantelise

How is the controller support?

Worked fine with my PS3 controller (via Motioninjoy). I think I had to tweak a few bindings here and there, but the core controls worked great.

 

[Gala]

Picked up Stalker SoC and CoP and Thief I and II!

Thinking about Dead Speace 2 even though I have it on Origin already.

 

[marrec]

Repost for new page.

My personal opinion of STALKER is that you should skip it. The antiquated mechanics, poor gunplay, impossible interface, and general jankiness makes it dreadful to play. There are genuine moments of awesome gameplay to be had in STALKER, but to get there you have to wade through a pile of it's own mistakes.

Not to mention that even with the complete patch the game still ran like crap on my machine, and my machine is easily able to handle all newer games at very high graphics.

 

[haikira]

If I like Recettear should I like Fortune Summoner and Chantelise?

I'm interested in knowing this too.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

How is Fortune Summoner? Only really interested in Recettear out of the 3.
