Steam Summer Sales 2014 |OT2| The valiant never taste of death but once

Status
Not open for further replies.
Again, thanks everyone. My questions in this thread are going to seem very novice-level because these aren't the sorts of games I play, but they are the sorts of games my girlfriend plays. I just gave her a PC, and as a long time 3DS gamer, she's experiencing PC gaming for the first time.

She loves story-driven games a la Mass Effect and adventure games like Zelda.

Maybe The Testament of Sherlock Holmes? Broken Age? They're not "action" games like Mass Effect or Zelda, but have tons of story.
 
Extra copy I had lying around.

I've lurked these threads for ages, time to give a little back:

is MGS worth $15 btw? how is the performance?

Yes. The performance is fine assuming that it doesn't have any issues with your display. Some people that were using HDMI to a HDTV had some weird framerate capped at 24 issues. People using monitors had fewer problems (I had none, using DVI).

Resolution is capped at 1080p without modifications, just fyi.

It's a fun game, I think 15 dollars is a good price for it. A little short, but very replayable.

If anyone's making a Saint's Row 4 giveaway, please make it 24 hours >_>;
Going to bed soon

To anyone thinking of doing this: Saint's Row IV is pretty well regionlocked in a bazillion different regions, so I'm not sure those would work as well as hoped.

Battlebricks is a MASTERPIECE.

Most fun I've had in a game in a LONG LONG time.

Came out of nowhere for me. Only found out about it this morning and damn it's good.

GOTY.

Voting for Retro because I want all four of those games, but I don't have high hopes for it winning, even though it totally should because almost everything in the Open World set has been on sale already.

Doing some serious wallet damage this sale, but my first new PC in six years arrives on Thursday and I had budgeted for way more than I spent so zero fucks are being given.

I managed to fix this by deleting my CC card that was registered on Steam and then re-entering my CC information. I waited for a bit and then I could use the market again.

I logged out and logged back in and I couldn't use the market again. When I get home I'll try the CC re-enter trick.
I've done this as well and had no luck. I'll just have to suck it up and use the trade thread on the last day to try to get the rest of my summer cards to make a badge before everything ends. I've got about 9 games already in my gift inventory (prior to the Summer sale) that I'm sure will get one or two to trade. We'll see.

If you have a couple friends and they like simpler gauntlet like games go for it. It's pretty fun, starts off easy ramps up quickly. My group has a mix of controllers and keyboards and there is no difference there.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, I'll see if my group is interested. Also, this thread moves way too fucking fast.
 
I am asking myself why they didn't produce Bad Rats 2 yet, GAF alone bought probably enough Bat Rarts copies to fiance an AAA Bad Rats.

"Activision presents a new take on the Call of Duty franchise, set in the world of Art Spiegelman's MAUS... Call of Duty: BAD RATS. Follow the intertwining story of four Auschwitz survivors as they embark on a mission of revenge, tracking the evil General Katze from Germany to Argentina"

That's alot of wastelands

Kinda want to buy Borderlands 2 but I'm planning to play it solo do you guys think I should or not ?
It's okay solo, Co Op sorta makes enemies more bullet spongy, for 4.99 why not.

So skipping all the cut scenes in one playthrough of Marlow Briggs is TWICE as rare as finding all the collectibles... wha?

Those must be some glorious cut scenes.

LoS 2 was a flash sale but only -25% I think ($44.99).

Please Aarklash, I need that 75% off and I'm done with this sale.

Yeah, MGR have some weird issues with HDMI connection, for me the fps is capped at 50, but there's a fix that I found on steam community somewhere that works.

Oh, and Dario ff create a patch for resolution over 1080p as well.

The more ridicilous the scores get, the less I believe that Valve don't have their paws in the game.

I thought that too but Valve would surely make the scores closer so they get more money.

And I also thought it was Reddit but surely they aren't that powerful.

Who knows. Either way, I can say with 100% certainty that this is not a normal competition.

Tempted to pick up saints row 4. Not sure if I want to support a censored game of though(Australia). From memory not a lot is different but still, don't enjoy being told what I can't see at 24 years old still.
