Man what a terrible set of Dailies, I'm so hating checking Steam all the time afraid of missing Flash deals despite knowing they will probably be back again and again.. My wish is that next time they just do like 15 deals per day the entire day without repeats and that's it.



Picking up Divine Cybermancy and Longest Journey. Unsure if I should grab Dreamfall too.

 

[Joe Molotov]

But is it a good stealth-action game or it's just really a bad game with good story?

There's really only one stealth-action part around halfway through the game. It's like 30-45 minutes and it's godawful. The rest of the game was pretty cool, although the gameplay mostly boiled down to fetch quests.

 

[DyTonic]

Why is Terraria so damn popular...?

 

[YianGaruga]

To "activate my Withcer 2 on GOG, do I get a product key somewhere or do I have to go through the process of printing out my proof of purchase and so on as described on the site?

Not sure whether to get my sister Recettear or Fallout New Vegas. She didn't end up being too keen on any of the old GTA games since the graphics are rather dated. She loves sandbox games. She has 30 hours in Just Cause 2, which she is teaching herself to mod, more than 100 hours in Gary's Mod (is it a sandbox? I don't really know...) and a ridiculous number of hours in Minecraft. She also really likes sim-type games, including Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon. I'm open to other suggestions concerning what she might enjoy.

So far I've gifted her the Portal games and Terraria.

Easy hard. Gift her both

They better come up with a Lego Harry Potter daily deal..

 

[Tomat]

I wouldn't hold your breath.

You can right click the game in your Steam library and view the CD key. Copy it and put it in the GoG thing, and that's it.

 

[BioHazard]

Me too, but the LEGO games are notorious for not being on big sales :/

 

[HoosTrax]

Because Castlevania Minecraft.

 

[Koroviev]

That's a distinct possibility. How difficult is New Vegas? I played a decent amount of 3, but I haven't really played much of NV. My sister typically prefers "making your own game" and sidequests to working through the main story, though she doesn't have much experience with RPGs.

 

[Cjdamon042]

I wouldn't hold your breath.

I've been hoping for a LEGO franchise deal

But with all this repetition, it doesn't seem likely...

 

[Dog Problems]

Because Castlevania Minecraft.

When you say it like that it sounds so appealing but the game just didn't click for me.

 

[Markster]

What's the word on today's Indie Bundle? SOL, and Demolition Inc. look interesting.

Demolition Inc, at first glance, seems like a modern successor to Blast Corps, but ultimately it's too twitchy and finicky. The precision needed for some of the challenges just isn't there.

Swords and Soldiers is fun. Eventually you'll likely min/max the build order, (and since it's a 1D RTS where everything marches forward at a set pace, there really isn't much else to control) but it's got a nice variety to its 30 levels, and building laser towers is pretty gratifying.

 

[Koroviev]

Am I voting for Shogun 2 or Dead Island?

 

[Alts]

Whaaaaat? PixelJunk is 80% off, not even as a Flash deal? What other awesome games have I missed because they weren't put in the spotlight? That's a great deal!

All games $3 or less

is it true you can't gift stalker at the discounted price?

If she likes mods and modding, there are piles of mods for New Vegas and making your own mods isn't too difficult. Same is true of Fallout 3. Though there's a lot of shooting in both games, and the look of the games is pretty grimy compared to how clean those other games are.

 

[ActStriker]

How's the emulation on the Steam versions of the Sega Genesis games versus the Wii VC versions? I'm debating on whether or not to get some of those over the weekend.

Asked this yesterday but didn't get a response. Can anyone help?

It kinda clicked for me, but I'm just too damn lazy to build stuff, never did shit on Little Big Planet and didn't even try with Terraria lol

 

[derFeef]

Am I voting for Shogun 2 or Dead Island?

Space Marine of course.

 

[frozzted]

is it true you can't gift stalker at the discounted price?

Maybe it is because of the loyalty promo stipulations attached to it.

 

[Fireblend]

is it true you can't gift stalker at the discounted price?

Can't you add it to your cart and check if the "gift to a friend" option is disabled? I highly doubt it, but you could check by yourself.

 

[Dog Problems]

Yeah, that's basically what I meant also haha

 

[Bradach]

Shogun 2 please. I regret not getting it earlier

 

[Type2]

I was just looking through some stuff and it seems as though I have an extra bastion steam key, if anyone doesn't already own this wonderful game PM me! First one gets the code.

 

[CoachKevin]

Buy the Witcher 2 or I'll kill you!!!!

Can you sell me on it better than that? What should I expect?

 

[DyTonic]

How did i miss Dragon Age sale -__-, anyone help !?

 

[Katoki]

Shogun 2 please. I regret not getting it earlier

Lucky you, you're getting my vote as well since I had no idea what to click and didn't feel like asking again.

 

[marrec]

When you say it like that it sounds so appealing but the game just didn't click for me.

Did you play it multiplayer?

It only really clicked for me in Multiplayer whenever everyone wasn't too busy doing boring shit (like building).

I love exploring, making new equipment, fighting bosses, doing events and the like. But man is building boring as hell.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Voted for Dead Island.

 

[Koroviev]

Normally I wouldn't go with a shooter, but I think she might be okay with the VATS system. She watches a lot of tutorials and LPs on YouTube, so like you said, I think it'd be a good game for her to mess around with.

 

[HoosTrax]

When you say it like that it sounds so appealing but the game just didn't click for me.

I'll be the first one to admit that certain games have a certain OCD appeal to them, where they will be boring and won't click with some people, and this is one of them.

Me:
- My base has to be just so.
- I need those blingy-looking gold bricks to decorate it with.
- I need to make the perfect set of defenses and lava moats to ward off those goblins.
- I need to do have one of each NPC as a tenant in my base.
- I need to own every single weapon and armor piece in the game.
- I need to have an herb garden with a sample of every seed in the game.

etc, etc, and this eventually translates to almost a hundred hours of gameplay to satisfy said OCDness :3

 

[Gala]

Whats GAFs opinion on Jurassic Park? Is it good on PC? Is it a lot like The Walking Dead or a quick time event shitfest of a movie?

 

[Pandaman]

Witches

Heard nothing but bad things about it.

Space Marine of course.

Voted Shogun 2, lol. Space Marine holds no appeal for me

The great thing about Terrarria is that even if you don't like doing the boring stuff you've described above, you can still do the fun stuff like crafting and exploring and beating bosses. As long as you have a friend that will build a house for you.

 

[heringer]

It's kinda shitty. All QTE, like Heavy Rain but way worse.

 

[derExperte]

Go a few pages back. And don't buy, quality is not comparable with TWD.

 

[Moobabe]

Thanks for the input guys. I'll wait till at least the Winter sale on Krater then and play it when it's been improved. No rush here, what with about 100 games ranging from Bastion to Amnesia to Ys and Deus Ex in my Steam backlog.

Ignore these clowns - Krater has been massively patched since release - read any review from the major outlets and I guarantee that most of their complaints have been addressed.

 

[Cheddahz]

Man, these daily deals suck today

 

[chaosblade]

I voted for Shogun 2, it seems like the game the Steam audience would want. It's already been a daily and a flash deal, and after all.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Is there any real point to getting L4D when you can do the same campaign on L4D2?

 

[marrec]

Ignore these clowns - Krater has been massively patched since release - read any review from the major outlets and I guarantee that most of their complaints have been addressed.

But most of the complaints were that it was a lifeless shell of a game that built itself from various parts of other games and, much like Frankenstein's Monster, ended up being a creature that was in capable of integrating into human society. Or something like that.

How do you patch in a SOUL good sir?!

Was controller support ever added in? I really think that might be what bothered me the most. I had such a difficult time getting around. I hate playing sidescrollers with the keyboard.

 

[Soi-Fong]

Day 2 of nothing that I really want

Sins of a Solar Empire Trinity it is

Picked it up since a friend was begging me to play with him (and he said 5 bucks is cheap as hell) and while the entry is pretty complicated, I eventually got the hang of it and I'm enjoying myself.

 

[Neki]

Has anyone been able to buy Witcher 2? Have been trying for like 20 minutes now, keep getting errors, gosh.

 

[DyTonic]

Someone help this guy out ^
