Red must rise!
We are almost there!

It will make not winning just worse...

There's a metaphor for this from Game of Thrones, but posting it would get me howled at for spoilers.

[milena87]

smells good doesn't it?

Something doesn't feel quite right there. I can't pinpoint exactly what it is.

 

[Sblargh]

So, I got state of decay. I enjoyed the mechanics, but not the story mode. Should I just jump straight to the not-story-mode DLC?

 

[SSPssp]

 

[Avinexus]

Purple getting pummeled with them point steals.

 

[thereisnoif]

So uh I'm an hour into Call of Juarez Gunslinger and no joke this might be my favorite gaming experience of this year

At 3.75 this is a no brainer

I'm on the fence and have just one question: does it have uplay?

 

[Salsa]

Honestly I know sales threads are usually pretty active but this metagame is probably contributing far more activity than usual here and in other forums. There's only so much we can talk about the same 8 hour/24 hour sales.

I think in about 2 days it'll calm down when everyone realizes that pretty much every single one of the major crafters and high level users switched to purple on purpose

it's a feedback loop. Purple won the first day so everyone with money switches to it. There's threads organizing it. It's fun but I think Valve shit the bed by not swapping people every day.

 

[Wunder]

Crafting game badges seems so futile :[

 

[StarlordDial]

so mad with myself right now....i shouldn't given myself in last year with the borderlands 2 deal last summer sale sigh

i got the full game and 3 dlc's but not all of em...so i pretty much spent like $25+ back then and could've bought it with the whole package with the GOTY edition and got the whole dlc this sale

sigh...just gotta wait it out till they add it hopefully in the flash sale

 

[Turfster]

Yes, MumboJumbo owns SiN. SiN Gold, in all its uncensored glory, was put up on GOG earlier in the year. I asked MJ if it had any plans to release the GE on Steam (the Steam version is censored for some bizarre reason, and the expansion pack isn't available at all), but unsurprisingly I received an utterly unhelpful response.

Yeah, that's why I got the GOG version of OG SiN.
Emergence is Steam only, tho.
Come on, Mumbo Jumbo, be a pal and put a percentage on it.

 

[Copons]

It doesn't!

 

[GringoSuave89]

Do you get contribution points just by buying games? (Team Purple!)

No, but you build a pool to get Summer Sale Cards, iirc. The checkout/shopping cart should have a gage to show progress

 

[xenoflux2113]

Thats really quite true. And live thread helps make it feel way more active.

 

[Sub Zero]

Let these dumb fools craft badges and waste their money. I already got Marlow Briggs and One Way heroics for free by selling the summer adventure cards

 

[Puppet Shadow]

Hope you like Gunslinger, I had great fun with the game. I simply love how they decided to tell the Story, very creative.

As for myself, I'm tempted to grab State of Decay. Anyone decided to get it today? Seems a game for a decent length and the price is more than fair.

I found State of Decay to be lots of fun, I thought it was worth it at full price.

 

[d3vnull]

we're in the lead again! gogogo!

That's really strange. Are more steam games censored? I knew about Loren before, but I thought it being exception.

 

[thereisnoif]

It doesn't!

Thank you cat! Off to buy it!

 

[Fracas]

Red team took the lead!

Don't call it a comeback

 

[Woffls]

What the shit we're winning??!! Suck it purple. Purple isn't even a colour.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Lol they stole 5,700 points from Purple.last tick.

 

[JakkuFurosu]

After about a thousand reviews Im still not sure so hoping gaf can push me in right direction from people with experience in both.

Can only afford 1 of the following:
Kerbal Space
Prison architect


Which one is more complete/i'll get more outta now.
I do realize they both early access and know what that entails, hence my question.
I know Prison on sale now but will hold out for KBS as im sure a similar sale on the way if thats what gaf tells me

Thank you for any help

 

[Hugstable]

Blue is never gonna win

 

[rtcn63]

I like to think this is a time zone war of sorts. One end of the civilized world versus the other, one party preparing for nightfall and the other, just arriving home from work. A seesaw, maybe.

 

[Doomedfool]

I must say, one thing I am definitely liking about this little contest thing is all my cards that were rotting in the market before this sale are getting snatched up. I like free monies!

 

[Chariot]

ATTACK ON TITAN!

No it does not.

KBS is more complete, and has a thriving modding community

I'm actually stashing whatever summer card I'm getting, because I could craft a badge just for fun. Or because maybe last day people goes full frenzy and start buying summer cards at like 10$ each.

It would have been fine if the teams didn't switch at all, too. The tokens have really ruined the meta game.

 

[MikeDown]

This is our hour reds, prepare for victory I get Bad Rats on your wishlist!

I think I know what you're hinting at, lol

You stole them from us, we are only getting it back

lol no, on the contrary. Last day is when everyone sells the spares so all cards end up going for jack shit

they're already lowering fast

sell what you get

That's really strange. Are more steam games censored? I knew about Loren before, but I thought it being exception.

Well, to clarify, the censorship is exceedingly minor: it's just nudie calenders and the like replaced with textures befitting of an overly conservative PG-rating (again, bizarre for a violence-heavy game, but I digress). There are no significant alterations -- it's certainly no L4D2 AU vs L4D2 US situation.

 

[Lomax]

so, when one guy sells thousands of the same card and there no cards cheaper than his, I should assume that he sits all day and night and singlehandedly buys every one of them, and does it for several cards at once no less?
seriously?

No, I'm saying those are the vast exception, not the rule. Besides, back to the original point, he's saying bots are beating him because of the two step process. Bots will always beat you, one step or two. In fact, the odds you'd even see the item before the bot buys it is virtually zero.

And again, the new system eliminates bots by basically giving everyone a bot.

 

[Salsa]

It would have been fine if the teams didn't switch at all, too. The tokens have really ruined the meta game.

yeah, I don't like it. Tokens are $35 atm. Valve has taken the high road and chose "make em spend more money" instead of an actual fair competition

oh well

 

[Gentleman Jack]

I'm actually stashing whatever summer card I'm getting, because I could craft a badge just for fun. Or because maybe last day people goes full frenzy and start buying summer cards at like 10$ each.

The only way I see this happening is if Valve raises the stakes in the latter half of the sale. People will deffo burn out on the point grind otherwise, and card prices will fall back to earth.

 

[Halo 2]

Either the shadow or the shit on his head.

I see, thanks for clarifying that.

It's not like gamers as a whole would actually remember being ripped-off.

I mean, is this really all that shocking?

It's a pretty par for the course sort of decision for the Steam team at this point.

 

[milena87]

Either the shadow or the shit on his head.

Possibly. It's also an interesting shade of green.

 

[clockworkinyou]

Go Red.

Spoiler

this shit is gonna hurt when we lose

I wish DF would acknowledge the matter of whether or not the original version will be released on Steam/GOG.

 

[Salsa]

it still comes off kinda weird

in the sense that I kinda doubt they'll just sit around and let purple team win every day, for example.

there's people with enough money to make this thing competitive WHILE making them spend money. No need for the tokens.

 

[Raijin_Cain]

Is it possible for someone to buy me Bully?

Im in Brazil and it says its not allowed in my region.

Id buy them a game of equal value in return no problem.
