Wait, are you hoping for a sale on the daily price???

the flash sale

 

[Zeliard]

That 96% thumbs down rating on Gone Home, what the hell?

It's like totally a SJW game bro

*chugs mt. dew*

 

[MrFrankFontaine]

A lot of people don't consider it a game.

Is it really that bad and/or boring?

 

[Casimir]

lol, On top of world champion you have been buying the cards?

 

[Ogedai_Khan]

Since Valve isn't letting me vote nor will be putting these up anytime soon...I'll just pretend that they're up for voting.
This is what I'm voting for the next set of games!!!
WW2 it is!!

 

[Teppic]

I liked Gone Home. It's not overly exciting or very long, but I had some fun with it. I think it's worth it at that price.

 

[derExperte]

the flash sale

But why? It's a daily. Right now. And for 1.5 days more.

 

[The Dear Leader]

wow

you guys laugh at the votes being the prime example of the community being dumb but im gonna point to that right there

what the fuck?

No shootbangs = thumbs down didn't you know?

A lot of people don't consider it a game.

Yeah that's insane, I knew some people didn't like it but god damn, 96%!

Flash and community sales finally showing.

 

[Metroidvania]

So, the Kerbal deal is for $16.20? That makes four games I've spotted thus far that are more expensive in this sale than in previous ones.

Kerbal ($16.20 vs previous $13.79), New Vegas ($6.80 vs. previous $5), FTL ($4 vs. previous $2.50), and Just Cause 2 ($3 vs. previous $2.50).

Any others been spotted? Sort of weird how many games it's going on with.

I was fucking wondering about New Vegas, I could have sworn I remembered it being a 5'er.

That's really, really shitty

 

[Damaniel]

Is it really that bad and/or boring?

No (I actually liked it a lot) - it just doesn't have enough fancy guns or EXTREME headshots for most people.

*chugs mt. dew*

That better be Baja Blast Dew your chugging.

 

[cartman414]

also yeah, Gone Home being 75% during the whole sale and now being discount for 85% should serve as a lesson

you all "everything that is 75% off wont get cheaper!" nuts are whack

Or just wait for a bundle. (Has to happen sooner or later.)

Though $2.99 is pretty can't miss.

 

[Jason Frost]

I wonder. How much did you spend to get all the Bad Rats cards?

Less than $4.

But I probably made like $6 by selling card in the Summer Sale, so they were like free.

 

[Camisado]

Deals are finally up!

 

[Beelzebubs]

Logging out and back in sure didn't help

 

[Jeremy]

It's a 2 hour long

why post spoilers whyyyy god damn it.

 

[Haunted]

truly the baddest rat

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

Spec Ops: The Line is on the flash sales. Pick up that game people, worth it for the brilliant story alone!

 

[Darth Kupi]

Maybe its the shallow/lack of actual gameplay and not the politics?

 

[scorpscarx]

I played and beat Gone Home last night, because Speevy the magnificent gifted it to me out of the blue, and thought it was good.

Loved the slow exploration Amnesia style of gameplay, and I'll just say that I can appreciate the game for trying something different. The random music tracks were great.

More about the journey than the destination type of game, for me.

Yes, I'm sure.

So what's GAF's thoughts on Risen vs Risen2? Is there any Jerry Retarded Horse levels of bad in either?

 

[LurkerPrime]

Wow, the Red Orchestra developers are going to great lengths to ensure that RO2: Rising Storm is in no way connected to the previous debacle that was Red Orchestra 2.

I say this because Steam's image for the game just lists it as "Rising Storm - GAME OF THE YEAR EDITION".

So what's GAF's thoughts on Risen vs Risen2? Is there any Jerry Retarded Horse levels of bad in either?

Haven't played more than 30 minutes of Risen 1, and I've completed Risen 2. Lots of people don't like Risen 2, but I found it rather enjoyable; it's really more about exploration and adventure than mindless hack and slash, and that really elevates it beyond mediocrity.

It's by no means a perfect game, but it really delivers the "be a pirate" swashbuckling adventure that I was in the mood for when I played it.

Edit: Fuck you, Uzzy.

 

[Briarios]

I absolutely love Gone Home -- to the very core of my being. But, I could definitely see myself being in the minority. The story really touched me, due to some close friends. It was an amazing experience -- but, not for everyone.

 

[Salsa]

that kinda is a spoiler but it honestly doesnt ruin anything about the game

 

[Helmholtz]

Was that gone home spoiler that guy above posted like, an end game spoiler? Because I'm seriously considering not playing the game now.

that kinda is a spoiler but furthermore it really ruins nothing about the game

Okay I'll take your word for it.

 

[bluechox2]

But why? It's a daily. Right now. And for 1.5 days more.

so what purpose does the flash sale serve if it is voted next? wouldnt it get cheaper?

 

[legacyzero]

OK, there's something very strange about these flag races.

 

[Turfster]

why post spoilers whyyyy god damn it.

Why quote spoilers? =p

[Smash88]

Of course the retro games selection would not win.

 

[Thatoneguy64]

Kerbal will be a daily.

Yes, the $16.20 price for Kerbal I took is the price from its community vote. Which will be its daily price. Which is higher than it has been in previous sales.

Its main price right now is $20.

I was fucking wondering about New Vegas, I could have sworn I remembered it being a 5'er.

That's really, really shitty

Yeah, with New Vegas I chalked it up to Bethesda being Bethesda. I mean, they've done it before with RAGE. But noticing it with other games made the whole thing a bit odd. Dunno why this sale in particular was hit with increases.

 

[clockworkinyou]

Welp.

I just want DS2 and Tropico 5 and Broforce to go lower, then I should be done.

 

[Tesseract]

huge thanks for EYE, whoever it was that gifted me. apologies for not knowing your name.

 

[Trejik]

Why isn't Unearthed on sale? I want it, so bad.

 

[derExperte]

Oh my god I hope that wasn't a spoiler. Please don't be a spoiler.

Yes it was. And some words should get the spoiler-tag treatment. But it's not only about that and the game doesn't really hide 'it', you'll get what's going on after a few minutes.

so what purpose does the flash sale serve if it is voted next? wouldnt it get cheaper?

No. That's why we're laughing at it. It's 75% off now, it'll remain 75% off.

 

[vg260]

Buying Battleblock Theatre yesterday taught me never to buy a daily until after 40 hours if it's also a part of a bundle.

Yup. Fortunately I waited and got the cheaper bundle price.

 

[alr1ght]

Oh my god I hope that wasn't a spoiler. Please don't be a spoiler.

It's a slight spoiler, but won't ruin it. I'm pretty sure you find that out fairly early if you have any sense.

 

[Gintoki313]

Spec Ops The Line for $6? Gonna have to think about that one.

 

[jediyoshi]

Oh my god I hope that wasn't a spoiler. Please don't be a spoiler.

Yep. Game over.
