Would highly recommend Rocksmith 2014 should anyone be considering that and can get a cable to use with it btw. Considering I've already spent close to 170hrs on it I'd say it's definitely worth grabbing at 75% off

I just got it, just browsing online to find a place to buy the cable.

Banished is great, glad I (blindly) bought it.

This sale realy has inspired me to just organize my steam list and play old games, while I have been running some stuff just for cards. I had forgotter how great game Waves is.

Can anyone explain The Stanley Parable do me? Thinking about jumping on that deal but I'm curious as to how it plays...I hate to say something dumb like..."Is it boring?" But I think you know what I'm asking. Is it a very niche type game or what?

It's a game based around story and humor. You listen to a narrator while making choices in the world which lead to different story outcomes.

 

[Parsnip]

Came across this in the Steam discussions.

Someone's claiming the winning teams are predetermined. It's probably fake, but it would be hilarious if the image predicted the forthcoming winners.

 

[Cydonian__Knight]

I have benefited a lot from SteamGAF's generosity in the past and I wanted to give back in a small way. This is, in my opinion, one of the best games ever made and I spent hundreds of hours with it growing up. I hope whoever wins enjoys it as much as I did. Cheers to SteamGAF!

It's a little niche and hard to explain. It can be finished in literally an hour or less but there are dozens of paths through the game that will take you much longer. It's basically entirely story driven but it's expertly written, very funny, and more than worth the sale price IMO (unless you are a real pincher for sales).

The best way to explain the Stanley Parable is to play the demo.

For games that are Uplay+Steam, Steam also backs up the save data to its servers or just Uplay?

 

[bakeray]

Did Steam crash for anyone else? Couldn't vote so I tried to relog and I can't connect :/

 

[chessnut]

thinking about getting a 4 pack for contagion, anyone interested in splitting it with me?

A parable is a story that's meant to allow the person experiencing it to reach some conclusion or realization.

It's that in game form.

 

[corrosivefrost]

It's still the best to me! Just barely ahead of Brotherhood, and maybe Black Flag. Hope Unity brings some needed changes to the franchise though.

What changes would you like to see? I don't have any experience post AC2 because I was so sick of GTA:R that I didn't have any interest in AC:B or AC:R... and I figured by the time I was going to get into AC3 that I should play the other 2 first but I just lost interest... now I own the large majority of them but haven't been motivated to play them.

I did play AC3:L on the Vita and that was a good time... but I think that's sort of the opposite opinion of a lot of people.

better red than dead mofuggas

Yeah, take this advice. The demo has totally new content from the game and is pretty funny.

 

[DarkFlow]

This is why you're in last place.

 

[WhiskeyDiver]

Anyone else not able to add Terraria to their cart? I'm not able to, and a few friends are having the same problem.

 

[Troblin]

Thanks for all the raffles guys!

My nostalgia is crossing its fingers for this one, thank you fellow GAFfer!

I have AoE III but it's the physical edition and it does not redeem on Steam. I miss AoE II much more to be honest!

 

[firen]

:***( C'mon Blue!!!!!

 

[Ventara]

Go to your profile, it'll say on the right hand side.

Check your profile page.

The "View My Profile" page? I looked there, but I don't see anything about colours.

Oh JaseC has like 30 copys.

Just Uplay.

wat

why

It's a licensed game, which means it's going to disappear eventually.

 

[Defect]

Oh, you're trying to imply I look like that ugly ass pic.

WTF, man? I look nothing like that lol.

No.

I'm having issues too.

Licensed game.

Its you trying to get out of Groundhog day with fantastic narration. You probably won't be playing it one week from now but until then you'll have a great time.

 

[Halo 2]

YOU BLUE IT

 

[BinaryPork2737]

It might be pulled one day, thus making more gabenbux than $.69 when we sell it to collectors, the price all of us who bought it paid for.

 

[soapypanda]

Is there an option to just start with the Dragonfall story in Shadowrun? Or do you have to beat the original story.

 

[RalliArtEvo]

looks like steam is down...

 

[Vuze]

I got this last summer sale on a price error, it's just been waiting...

Thank you very much!
I loved Just Cause 2, I hope Just Cause is fun too

 

[denx]

That's your problem.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has this problem in Firefox so I can ask jshackles about it.

 

[Tizoc]

Just Uplay.



It's a licensed game, which means it's going to disappear eventually.

So...what's the point of Steam then? Steam cheevos?

 

[Eanan]

Its our time to shine.

Steam detected Purple not winning again. Gabe's salty as fuck now.

Great giveaway, thanks.

Through steam, username > profile. there should be a big flag on the right side.

 

[Sober]

You might win the battle, not the war

It's the only way blue is ever going to be on that map.

You have to actually join a team I think. Try clicking the summer sale banner and there should be a link saying "Get Started" or some such.

Gaben hates the color blue most of all

 

[Cydonian__Knight]

I have AoE III but it's the physical edition and it does not redeem on Steam. I miss AoE II much more to be honest!

I bought AoE III when it came out, but it didn't have the magic that AoE II did. I can go back to AoE II and still enjoy it just as much as I did a decade ago.

 

[Anteater]

what the fuck is with green dude

 

[Sub Zero]

Is there an option to just start with the Dragonfall story in Shadowrun? Or do you have to beat the original story.

They are separate campaigns, so you can start with Dragonfall if you want

 

[Kadin]

Make sure you download the Full Combat Rebalance Mod from the official website. Makes the game so much better in my opinion.

Checking it out now, thanks.

 

[DarkFlow]

Thank you very much!
I loved Just Cause 2, I hope Just Cause is fun too

It's not as good as 2 but still fun! hope you enjoy it.
