Anyone here a Magic: The Gathering fan? I want to buy 2013 but I've *never* played *any* Magic game before, even in person. Is it accessible for beginners? Does it have a tutorial and all that stuff?

Its very easy to get into. It does have a tutorial. You can't build decks from scratch like MTGO. You get 10 pre-constructed deck, 8 of them will be locked. Each deck has 30 cards to unlock. You can customize your deck pretty easy in the deck manager once all the cards are unlocked. They added an end phase in this version.

this vote (that just started) was the 20th vote right?

did not get achievement :|

It's the 19th poll.

 

[Lkr]

fine, about to cave on sim city 4. poor bank account even though this is my first purchase

 

[nickcv]

Yes to all the above. Don't buy the deck unlocks unless you are impatient. Cards are unlocked through winning with the decks. Difficulty can be turned down so that the AI doesn't play well.

to be fair even on the highest difficulty setting the ai is pretty dumb most of the times.

Me either, I'll try again tonight :|

 

[Lingitiz]

This attitude gets repeated every steam sale, its getting lame.



I will probably pick up Sins (trinity) today. Been on my wishlist for a long time.

Well this is the first sale with flash and community deals, and a nice opportunity to get a good rotation of deals is being wasted on games that are regularly discounted. I would love for them to discount games that don't drop in price too often, for a shorter amount of time.

 

[HenryHSH]

I had to buy Saints Row the Third.

You'll love it, and it's twice as fun in coop!

 

[aasoncott]

I'm sorry, but I do not know how people can justify $27 for a java game.

Right, because if it was C# you'd pony up the cash.

 

[Katoki]

Is there a consensus on what to vote for?

Yeah this is frikkin' horrible.

No it has to do with the effort and just overall amount of content you are getting. The game uses a "retro" look as a selling point for a limited engine, and the game is limited in many things other than being essentially a barebones sandbox game.

By your train of thought, we should be comparing GTA IV to Minecraft, which would make it look like a joke.

 

[MRORANGE]

It's the 19th poll.

I thought SimCity was 19th?

 

[depward]

Dear Esther is amazing. Can't stop thinking about it.

 

[Link Man]

Oh, will we be having a hidden gems thread again this year? Would be a nice way to find out what to spend my remaining $1.50 on.

 

[Red Blaster]

It's like we're seeing the same 30 games rotated

 

[Huevos de Oro]

Is there a consensus on what to vote for?

The Darkness II if you want more people to have a chance to buy what seems to be an underappreciated, fine piece of work.

 

[Smash88]

This is the 20th poll you voted on, he is wrong.

 

[Yoshichan]

The Darkness II if you want more people to have a chance to buy what seems to be an underappreciated, fine piece of work.

Voted on Darkness II now.

 

[Cjdamon042]

What am I voting for? I have Fable 3 and I'm not entirely bothered about the other two so what does GAF want?

 

[GatorFan]

Guys there is an announcement from the Summer Sale Community Group every time a new poll goes up that says the number of the previous poll...

Voted Fable III just to troll.

 

[MRORANGE]

This is the 20th poll you voted on, he is wrong.

That's what I thought, hopefully it just needs updating.

 

[Stoof]

I'm sorry, but I do not know how people can justify $27 for a java game.

Bought it when it was like $13. Probably put more hours into that than any other game so it was more than worth it to me.

 

[LM4sure]

Dear Esther is amazing. Can't stop thinking about it.

Are you being sarcastic? So many people yesterday were saying it was garbage that I passed on it.

 

[Valnen]

I'm sorry, but I do not know how people can justify $27 for a java game.

Yup. Ridiculous. So glad I bought it in Alpha. Game is worth $10, MAYBE $15.

 

[Lingitiz]

What am I voting for? I have Fable 3 and I'm not entirely bothered about the other two so what does GAF want?

I'd go for The Darkness 2. The demo seemed really fun. Please nobody vote for Fable.

 

[Salsa]

I agree with the Minecraft thing sadly. Price should be waaaaay lower specially by now

but hey notch is charging a monthly fee with his next game, he loves dem moneys

 

[mr stroke]

so how is sim city 4? was hoping a game that is ~9 years old would be less than $5, but I am tempted to get it regardless

thought about grabbing it too at $5 but I can't imagine its aged well. Its an old ass game at this point

[zerokoolpsx]

Your right. I kept thinking of SimCity. That was the 19th. This is the 20th poll.

 

[KingKong]

man I hope that summer camp picture thing and badge turns out to be something cool, I'm a little disappointed by no game achievements

 

[ImRight]

Oh jesus. Usually I only hit the 'You already own this game' thing like once a week, during sales, maybe once a day.

I just got it 4 times in a row!

Just means I'm only buying 1 thing instead of 5!

Lol the fact that you hit it on a regular basis at all is just Hilarious !!! Love it!

Major props dude >.<

 

[Jdez15]

Now, my friend keeps making the argument of buying strictly only mulitplayer games on the steam sales, his logic is " I can just burn them" what would you say to him for these remarks?

Burning games as in story only games.

Edit: I refuse to burn games. It aint right.

 

[Tess3ract]

And the sad thing is people will buy it.

Someone gifted me terrarria way back and I liked it but it ended up getting backlogged.

I guess I'm just not into these kind of games.

 

[xenoflux2113]

this vote (that just started) was the 20th vote right?

did not get achievement :|

Same thing happening to me. At least there are still more polls so we don't have to worry about it if we miss one.

 

[Raknar]

Don't the votes get counted when the results are tallied up? Either way, you won't have to wait long to get it.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Voted for Payday.

 

[MRORANGE]

Yeah true, it's just annoying as I voted for every single one.

Tell him to download a car for me.

Also, he must not have a job.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

26... as in 26 fucking dollars?

Holy.

Fucking.

Shit.

Really?

Yeah... definitely kicking myself for not buying in during the alpha when you were guaranteed updates forevers and junk.

Good thing Terraria exists.

Anyway.

Thief games!

Which one(s)?

Tell him to download a car for me.

Also, he must not have a job.

Who even bothers burning things to disc anyway? Virtual drives are free!

 

[Whitebison]

Somebody knows if Bully has been in any sale?

 

[Smash88]

Now, my brother keeps making the argument of buying strictly only mulitplayer games on the steam sales, his logic is " I can just burn them" what would you say to him for these remarks?

That he is a pirate, that refuses to buy PC games, instead of supporting one of the greatest (if not greatest) platforms in existence. It heads the way in graphics, and we can see what happens when developers think (or want) to blame piracy for all their problems. You are not only taking money away from big developers, but from indie games, as well as making the PC community look bad. That and the fact we are generations behind because a lot of developers see consoles as more profitable (at least to the shareholder). He is hurting the PC community more than he is hurting them. They will just not want to bring optimized, high graphic PC games, and he'll be one of the many to blame.

RISEN 2 CAN BE YOURS FOR THE LOW LOW PRICE OF £26.79. HOW TEMPTING.

I probably would have never played it if not for a friend who kinda dragged me into it and co-oped the entire experience. My impression of it going in was 2D Minecraft, and I didn't like Minecraft because I am a shell of a being and have no imagination.

Though what I got out of Terraria was a lot of fun. In fact we kept the building to the main essentials of getting housing for the various NPCs and the rest of the time was spent spelunkin', combat, and getting loot. Also, the game has awesome spears. Take that Skyrim.

I'm sorry, but I do not know how people can justify $27 for a java game.

Whether or not you like it, it was definitely one of the most influential games released last year. People who got it early got a better price and all updates to the game. It also has an incredibly huge modding community than can turn Minecraft into completely different games.

Yeah this is frikkin' horrible.

It was around $13 if you bought it during the beta. It only got more expensive as time went on.

But I digress. Minecraft won't be on Steam because notch wants all the money, no money taken away by Valve, and it's worked for him. He's damn rich.

 

[Chaos]

Anyone here a Magic: The Gathering fan? I want to buy 2013 but I've *never* played *any* Magic game before, even in person. Is it accessible for beginners? Does it have a tutorial and all that stuff?

Yeah I was new to it and learned the ropes with the 2012 version.

 

[graywolf323]

Risen 2 Dark Water's is the new flash, recycling deals confirmed.

it hasn't been a deal before, it was up for a Community Choice but lost

Influential? How? That more clones that are similar to Minecraft were made that offered nothing to the gaming community? Or that it is a popular indie title that got spread through word of mouth and the casual crowd bit on it like Farmville on Facebook.

I think you are over embellishing what Minecraft is, a plain, mediocre retro themed sandbox with basic building/mining gameplay structures.

Nabbed . Thanks.

No problemo.

 

[Yoshichan]

I've read this sentence multiple times... and it kinda boggles my mind.
