Yeah, that's what I told my friend who uses a 360. He said he wants to have a nice PC, so I told him to not buy any new console games for a while (he preorders a lot of stuff).

Would be ok IF he plays the stuff from day 1 then.

Thanks for the Costume Quest feedback, still debating it but tendencies for the bundle are positive!

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Light RPG. You should play it in October though

I know its the theme of the game, but is there any kind of reward or something for doing so?

Nah. It would have been cool of them to put in an achievement for playing in October.

 

[EternalGamer]

if you wanted to buy indie bundle 5 you better hurry up since it has switched places with indie bundle 4 and thus will no longer be on sale in a short whule

Wtf. It was in my cart waiting for other flash sales to join it.

 

[Omikron]

Damn, cancer, hope you are doing ok.

 

[JudgeN]

So KoA has no discount, I can assume it won't go on sale during the summer sale right?

 

[chixdiggit]

quoting myself:



not really a fan of it not being twin stick shooter

The Game controls way better with Mouse and Keyboard.

 

[scorpscarx]

Yeah. People in this thread have to realize that we're all insane. Normal people don't spend this kind of money on games. ;D

You have got to be kidding me... 'normal' people spend much more on games, as most normal people are console gamers who spend $60 bucks a month multiple times if they are 'hardcore' gaming types, or parents buying for children.

$100 on a steam sale once a year, with maybe a couple full price games a year, is the smart way to do it....

Anyway, I'm trying to say normal people spend much more without even realizing it.

 

[Artofwar420]

I beg to differ on that one. The typical dude spends way more a year buying his 60 dollar console games than I do. If you just buy games at their pricing floor (which doesn't take long), you can build a massive backlog spending 100 - 200 dollars a year easy.

I'm not in the extreme like some closing in on a thousand games (and who still purchase things Day 1 that they don't play), but being selective with my purchases, I'll probably cross the 200 mark barrier before this sale ends. So far I've gotten 17 games/expansions for 51 dollars (3 bucks a pop). And my backlog is well over 100 and would last for years with no additional purchases.

True, for the price of ONE console game and a half I've gotten like 20 games and 10 expansions/dlc stuff. It's often said with a snicker, but we are saving money.

Just popping in here to say GO KRATER!

That is all.

You're right but most people in here probably buy a lot of $60 games too lol

 

[Dog Problems]

It still might. If you're wanting to get it now I'd wait until the sale is over to see.

 

[Salsa]

The Game controls way better with Mouse and Keyboard.

that kinda sucks, but is it a good game? worth the sale price?

 

[Dacvak]

Damn, cancer, hope you are doing ok.

Doin' a lot better. Got to move home a few days ago. =)

I guess I didn't mean it like that. What I meant was most people don't buy the volume of games that we do. They won't wait for a Steam sale to buy 20 games, instead they'll spend the same amount of money on three games throughout the year.

You're totally right, I just meant that we're a more unique breed. Most people don't spend money like we do, is a better way to put it.

 

[1-D_FTW]

It hasn't. And it would be a shock. The pricing for the game on Steam is ridiculous, and probably the worst place to buy it from.

http://www.steamprices.com/us/app/23310/the-last-remnant

It was on sale for 10.00 dollars on July 8th and Oct 16th, 2011. So it does happen.

 

[MasLegio]

last remnant seems interesting but all combat in square games has been shit since ffx

The combat in FFXIII was great, best part of the game by far

O yea then totally agreed, for example even some of the people on my steam friends list who are constantly playing big name games, don't even realize there is a sale going on when I tell them but I always see them buying full price games day one.

You've clearly never played The World Ends With You (or Resonance of Fate, if that counts).

 

[jessecuster]

Hooray!!!


And now my first(and only) purchase has been made.



yes, I know Stronghold 3 is supposed to suck, but I just wanted to play it myself.

 

[dragonlife]

There's a demo you can try and see for yourself. It's one of the most fun turn-based battle systems I've experienced. Nothing trumps Baten Kaitos Origins's battle system, though

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

Guys, The Last Remnant is $8.99 over at Green Man Gaming. Buy this if you have any interest in RPGs at all. It's probably the best RPG Square Enix has done in a long time. Play it for the great battle system (turn-based) and fuckawesome music. The story is not why you should be playing this, but it does have its moments. Also, no random battles for those whose panties get in a twist over that.

The PC version is so godly compared to the bad 360 version. Lots of tweaks, improvements, and so on. The best one being a Turbo feature that doubles the speed of battles.

And, yes, it will activate on Steam!

On steam? Good enough for me.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Finally picked up a PC controller today

 

[Wazzim]

Finished Dear Esther, great game.

 

[chixdiggit]

that kinda sucks, but is it a good game? worth the sale price?

It's pretty fun in short bursts. I occasionally boot it up play a couple stages and am done. But I keep occasionally coming back to it. I bought it at twice the price and was not disappointed.

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

Haven't you got a PS3 or 360 controller?

 

[Koroviev]

Doin' a lot better. Got to move home a few days ago. =)

"Normal people" spend money on trivial things, such as clothes and food. Fie, plebs.

So here are the PC version improvements: [url]http://lastremnant.wikia.com/wiki/Differences_between_Xbox_360_and_PC_versions[/url]

Essentially the game is as it should have been on the 360. They really listened to reviews and feedback and changed very specific things to make the game better (saves between bases, enhanced difficulty with proper balance, and even extras like New Game+). Easily worth $9.

 

[Chittagong]

I am so damn weak. Bought Dear Esther. Had never heard of it until today.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Haven't you got a PS3 or 360 controller?

Nope. Sold my 360 and PS3 beginning of this year since I never used them any more.

 

[vall03]

ugh, was able to get a last minute vote on Sanctum and my badge still isn't upgraded. Oh well, theres still quite a few more days of sale left...

 

[EternalGamer]

Ok, below $100. Time to start making hard cuts.

Gemini Rue, you look cool and you're in a great pack along with Ys and Tiny Bang Story, but I'm going with just Ys solo so I have enough for Shoot Many Robots 4 pack instead. I dont know when I'd ever get to GR anyway, but I'm sure Shoot Many Robots will get some coop play in the near future (as most coop games do) with my group of friends.

 

[DeadFalling]

Going to hold out hope on TLR being on a Steam flash/daily sale. I got $45 in my Steam wallet that I've got to spend.

 

[marrec]

Nope. Sold my 360 and PS3 beginning of this year since I never used them any more.

Thats a PC gamer right there.

Try to enjoy it for what it is without expecting anything

Prolly your best Steam purchase in a long time though.

I wouldn't have a console if it weren't for Japanese games. They need to convert

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

Nope. Sold my 360 and PS3 beginning of this year since I never used them any more.

Fare enough, what controller did you get?

All the ones I saw last time I looked had a horrible cheep look to them.

 

[scorpscarx]

Sadness incarnate, I fell asleep thinking about it after that first area, damn.

 

[fluffydelusions]

It's not even about the graphics or anything tbh either. I just was always playing on PC be it LoL, TF2, BF3 etc. The 360/PS3 were covered in dust.

 

[naku]

Haha, honestly, there isn't much more of a story than that.

Huh, man, that was a quite good story. Amazing! I'm jealous, even though I'm not a hard gamer anymore. I used to be.

[Thoraxes]

Sanctum wins.

 

[Prophet Steve]

Anyone knows if Shoot Many Robots is a little fun with friends?

 

[Card Boy]

Do i want to Shoot Many Robots? I can't be effed downloading the demo off XBLA. Plus i skimmed out on the XBLA sale couple weeks back because i wanted to save my points for Tony Hawk and Hybrid.

 

[Nemesis121]
