Voted for adventure - comedy. I need Jazzpunk, sorry GAF.

 

[SmithnCo]

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

4chan loathes that game like no other.

 

[Helmholtz]

Yes it was. And some word 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 he posted wasn't a big 'reveal' that happens late in the game? Phew.

 

[Orthogonal]

I almost think Dark Souls 2 won't be a daily now. Usually only one game from a franchise is a daily and then all previous in a series are also discounted. Would this be unprecedented for both Dark Souls 1 and Dark Souls 2 to feature as a daily compared to other franchises?

 

[Fornaximus]

Life's too short to wait for 90% off. 85% will have to do. Gone Home bought. Let's see what all the fuss is about. Polygon gave it GOTY, right? It must be good.

That better be Baja Blast Dew your chugging.

Baja Blast is overrated.

Voltage, on the other hand, is so good I actually used it in a homemade BBQ sauce recipe.

 

[RionaaM]

I'm going to give my 3 votes to adventure-comedy just for the sake of having lego both on community and daily deals. I'm sorry that's too hilarious.

Is that comedy to you? I'm not laughing. I'M NOT LAUGHING!

 

[Doomedfool]

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

Don't think so. I think Valve just effed up by it being in that list. Course they could screw up with the price if it went through, so /shrug

 

[Salsa]

So what he posted wasn't a big 'reveal' that happens late in the game? Phew.

nah

but more to the point the game doesnt really work in a way that anything important needs to or will be revealed. just enjoy exploring around

 

[Uzzy]

Gah, sorry guys. That was very inconsiderate of me. I thought a year old game was past the time limit on spoilers. Again, sorry.

 

[Articalys]

So I just sold off all my cards for one game, but now that game's disappeared from my Badges page. Is that supposed to happen?

 

[Jeremy]

I wouldn't have seen it without your post Tad bit hypocritical to complain about spoilers then repost them for others to see.

Well I guess I am glad that you're reading my posts. I went back and edited it. I don't think about things like that, I just assume people are reading the thread and not specific posts.

 

[legacyzero]

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

The story is worth that price alone IMO.

[Altazor]

navelgazing question time:

why do some games that haven't won a Game of the Year Award (ANY of them, even those with no credibility) have GOTY Editions?

Spoiler

why do I care?

 

[tmarques]

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

I kind of do too. The reviews are hysterical.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

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

It was in a 1$ bundle last week.

screw it. Bought it too,

 

[The One Who Knocks]

Unlimited has worlds with stages with set objectives to accomplish.

Unmasked has worlds where the objectives are randomized each time you visted the world.

I've beaten Unlimited and only played a little bit of Unmasked. Unless you really love the DC universe i would get Unlimited

Perfect, just picked it and Gone Home up, thanks!

I'm also out of money, so unless I can get a gift card tomorrow I'm out of the sale it seems.

 

[Helmholtz]

Gah, sorry guys. That was very inconsiderate of me. I thought a year old game was past the time limit on spoilers. Again, sorry.

It's not past the time limit in this thread anyway. I've been waiting until a heavy discount to check the game it.
It's okay though, we can move on now!

 

[Rhaknar]

Two people on my friends list bought Unity of Command during this sale without waiting for dailies. Failure of Believe.

maybe they got it from the weekly humble like me?

 

[Spinluck]

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

I noticed that too lol.

Still thinking about buying it, looks really interesting.

 

[Turfster]

@ everyone who voted against double dragon :

Are you going to murder them in them sleep?

 

[Soroc]

If I purchase games as a gift and add to my steam inventory. Can I only trade them away or can I decide at a later date I want to keep the game and add to my library?

 

[jholmes]

Didn't like the most recent vote (I have pretty much everything there) but I want people to enjoy Little Inferno at $2.50.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

The Lego Movie is still up for community choice?

Come on, Valve, get it together.

 

[TheExhaustedWalrus]

Gone Home is probably worth it at that price. Even then I don't think it's a good game.

 

[3phemeral]

Thank you, tmarques!

Does anyone have any experience with NEStalgia? I saw an old coworker playing it, I briefly read the description and it sounds pretty awesome. What say GAF?

Gone Home is great, a fine palate cleanser between shootbangs.

spec ops the line!

woooooo! good thing i waited.

Cool I got ratted, what was the other mystery gift? Magic Crystals?

The latter.

Ex.

 

[therealminime]

I think Gone Home and Spec Ops are both very much worth the price of admission if you are curious to see what games can do with story telling. Both do really neat things with their stories and how they tell them.

 

[scorpscarx]

don't look, gone home spoilers below.

There should be an edict for everyone who voted Sim to retake grade school math. Even the discounts sucked.

Good Luck!

Is it really that bad and/or boring?

Apparently, the story's really good if you're into emotions and empathy and all that soft girly bullshit. Tumblr types love it.

Myself, I'd put it in the same class as Dear Esther and Slender - walking simulators, bereft of gameplay. Hey, at least you could die in Slender, which makes it more of a game than GH is.

I prefer more manly games, with such masculine things as gameplay and win/lose states, like Barbie's Dreamhouse Party and My Riding Stables: Life With Horses. Though, maybe that's just my half-white cis-male privilege talking, in which case I'll shut up and try really hard to empathize with the Collective Will Of The Oppressed.

Wow, that sounded better in my head as I was typing it. What I mean to say is that Gone Home is best suited to those gamers who prefer story over gameplay, and who can appreciate a story that doesn't involve all the old gaming tropes, a smaller scale tale than is usual in games. However, because of that, be warned: You will only play it once. Ever. After that, there is nothing else. Think long and hard about whether just watching a playthrough of the game on YouTube would be the easier and cheaper option before you part with your hard-earned.

So I just sold off all my cards for one game, but now that game's disappeared from my Badges page. Is that supposed to happen?

That's normal.

 

[Arthea]

on the second thought, I'm not buying anything! that's not double dragon and just go to sleep.

 

[Cyrano]

Do people actually trust thumbs up/down as an adequate measure of anything? I've certainly learned to ignore anything that resembles a "like" button.

 

[MrFrankFontaine]

what is all this pink team, green team business? Anyone care to explain?

 

[Smash88]

Gone Home is probably worth it at that price. Even then I don't think it's a good game.

It's not even a game. It's more like an interactive story telling experience you would find at your local museum, where would would have digital trips to explore dinosaurs.

This "game" is terrible, sad to see it take a slot where other more meaningful and better games could be on sale.

A year old game that all of us were thinking of buying?! Come the fuck on...even you are smarter than that!

 

[XANDER CAGE]

It's funny that Gone Home and Spec Ops are both on sale because they're both pretty average, basic games where you walk in a straight line and have a story told to you, but one is The Internet's Most Wanted and the other has a novel-length critical analysis available on Amazon

 

[Widdly Scuds]

The Lego Movie is still up for community choice?

Come on, Valve, get it together.

Here's to hoping if it wins, the 75% discounts mistakenly stack

 

[The Dear Leader]

I noticed that too lol.

Still thinking about buying it, looks really interesting.

Yeah it's definitely worth playing, especially at $3.

 

[Sober]

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

Is the

lesbian romance

thing a spoiler?!

Edit: Fuck you, Uzzy.

The game is more than that. If people think that's all the game amounts to then they are terrible people who can't find value in anything except thinking every little detail they weren't told about beforehand is a "shocking twist".
