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

Not open for further replies.
NV and FO3 are about as different as two games can be when they share the same game engine and same base game mechanics.

I like to think that NV is an RPG with some shooting, whereas FO 3 is a shooter with some RPG. NV has wonderful quest design, characters, dialog, story, and a unique reputation system that leads to a highly replayable, branching end-game. There is a lot of hand crafted content such that finding a shack out in the wilds is more fun than it is in FO 3. That content is also interconnected smartly, further improving the overall story. The vaults are highlights, really good stuff there. The SPECIAL stat/skill system is better implemented in NV as well, leading to characters that feel more differentiated than in FO3.

You just sold one copy :)

30 team members who scored points will win 3 games
2nd place team

Did Reddit have an effect during the first week? yes
Do they now that the terms changed? shit no

Steam changes the terms.

Top 3 teams win games, instead of top team.
I still can't help but wonder if it was rigged some, but maybe I'm underestimating the influence of Reddit (and it DID kind of snowball) which would be kind of terrifying. But yeah, I can see this firing up everyone else to create some REAL competition, and perhaps the whole reason Reddit had that influence was a sort of defeatist attitude to even trying, and once there was reason to try anyone people got fired up.

Ive only spent five dollars for far and that was on five copies of Marlow Briggs. I thought Steam sales were supposed to be a big deal

My first 3 Steam sales where a slaughterfest. Now not so much maybe a game or three. After a while you just own all games that you want and can't be bothered to buy games unless they are cheap or you want them. Unless you are JaseC, then you wish to collect them all.

Ugh. Stupid M&M money. $6 is not worth not being able to buy/sell cards for a freaking week :( if I email Steam support is there any chance they'd remove the restriction sooner?

Steam sales have lost their thunder, in my eyes.. I went crazy over the last few, but now I feel like I have everything I want... and... I still haven't played most of them.


I did pick up some games though.

Pacman Championship All You can Eat
Pacman and the Ghostly Adventures
PixelJunk Shooter

Outlast

Nidhogg
Tale of Two Brothers



Okay, that's even more than I realized.
No respect to the wallet.

Thanks for the Indigo Prophecy replies.

Pros: It's cheap and starts off well form what I gather
Cons: It'll go to my backlog and the ending sucks

I think I'll give it a miss. Sure the price is really low but the chances that I'll end up completing it are slim so might as well save it for another game.

So after Rhaknar gifted me the Blackwell bundle I thought I'd check out the games. Hadn't actually heard of them before, but it turns out that Rhaknar is amazing because it's a series of point and click games WHICH I LOVE. Proper old school but with great art and voice acting. Good stuff. Looking forward to enjoying these knowing nothing of the story!
 
Hopefully there's still someone who doesn't own this game.

There's a reason New Vegas feels like a real sequel to 1 and 2, while FO 3 feels like Oblivion with guns (imo). A lot of the people who worked on New Vegas worked on the original Fallout games. An example of this pedigree can be seen in the fact that New Vegas is based in the Western United States and again features organizations like The New California Republic, which any fan of Fallout 1 and 2 will be familiar with.
 
Amazon's ability to have amazing sales and competent price-matching left with Tony. The new guy doesn't know WTF he's doing. CAG's been in an uproar over it for months. Kinda sad, for a while there Amazon was killing it with the deals.

Damn, I just realized this is totally true. Amazon Tony was great.
