you dont have a gamestop anywhere near you?

we have none of that known shit dude

if only you could buy games with headphones....

at least I have bass again! Ive been using my shitty iphone earbuds for months LOL

 

[The_Monk]

back from my hunt, with no steam gift cards. Thanks based shitty little town.

Sigh, got some new headphones at least >_>

Rhaknar, do you still need these? I think I read your post regarding you Credit card or something.

 

[ViviOggi]

if only you could buy games with headphones....

Should have gotten earbuds

 

[liezryou]

Ok anymore interest in a Banner Saga 4 pack for 3 TF2 Keys each? If not gunna take a little break from steam, whew it's been intense since that price mistake.

 

[Dusk Golem]

YES, got Cryostasis for 15 tf2 keys!

Is it any good?

I played it a couple months ago. I liked it as a horror game fan. If you've played a lot of horror games, the best way to describe it would be like a mixture between Echo Night and Condemened. That'd be the perfect way to explain it, but if you're not really familiar with those titles, it's a game where you beat up a lot of monsters, solve puzzles that are mostly related to people's fates, and there are some cool twists and turns, and actually a pretty good intelligent story (though it may need to be played more than once to fully understand it).

Biggest gripe is the game is badly optimized.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

so, um, now that im stuck with a tf2 key is there any decent trades i can make without making a heavy investment in more keys?

 

[Pachimari]

Man, if only I could predict what once cheap games would become rare. To answer your question, I thought Cryostasis was very good. The story is unique and interesting, especially for an FPS, and the setting is very well realized. The gameplay is fine too, but occasionally it is a bit janky (would we have it any other way though?). I remember the melee being very heavy feeling which was pretty satisfying. When I played this game, I played on an i5 750 and an HD5870 with an 8800GT running PhysX. It ran like ass with and without PhysX on, so hopefully it was optimized a bit since then, or modern rigs can brute force it. But do play it. Especially given that price.

I'm playing it right now with everything turned on and to the highest, and it's above 30fps at all times. Though I haven't met any enemies yet.

It already has a very great atmosphere and it's very interesting, making me want to explore more.

But it have crashed to the desktop 3 times now. Maybe I should change the color scheme to Basic Windows 7.

 

[Lucifon]

It was like 15 cents on the Russian Steam Store, I was able to get a copy for 2 TF2 keys some where able to get 2 or more copies for 1 key, shit got wild for an hour or so.

Oh wow. I just bagged a copy for 2 keys, obviously could have got it cheaper if I was quicker but I'm super happy about that!

 

[RionaaM]

If you guys had to choose between getting Child of Light now of waiting for Transistor to show up again, what would you decide?

Other recommendations are also welcomed. I'm looking for a story rich game, with pleasant visuals and slow gameplay so I can play while I watch the world cup.

CoL is my GOTY so far, so I'd choose it instead of any other game. Beautiful, beautiful game.

 

[Zeeman]

Come on, get in the game Blue Team

 

[Pachimari]

With all due respect, why would you even spend that much if you didn't know beforehand? I wouldn't have done that unless I was a collector trying to fill a gap in my library or if I was going to resell and profit from it.

But I'm a collector, and Cryostasis have had my attention ever since it released and now I finally get to play it and explore it.

 

[Chariot]

huh. Man, it already looks like the other days again. The hell.
Only with Red dominating overall.

 

[Dusk Golem]

Also curse Steam Community for not picking the other community vote last night, I really wanted The Last Door 75% off.

 

[Palehorse]

Finally Company of Heroes 2 is on sale. I've been waiting on that this whole darn time.

Valiant Hearts is one I've had my eye on for a while, interested to see when it receives its first sale.

What is with team Red? Guess we love those badges.

 

[Cyberquake]

we have none of that known shit dude



at least I have bass again! Ive been using my shitty iphone earbuds for months LOL

Dude, go to a FNAC store. Now almost of them have steam cards in Portugal.

 

[Pachimari]

How finished is Next Car Game? If it's still unfinished when the Black Friday or Christmas sales come, I won't buy it because it may get a bigger discount.

I don't care about playing unfinished games, I just want the complete game day 1 as cheap as possible

There's not much content in it. You get a track and 3 cars and a 2.0 demo, and that's it. The destructions are crazy cool though.

I love Condemned and that one were one of my favorites last generation.

Also, how the hell does one trade for a .5 key? Like how am i supposed to give someone 2.5 keys, for example?

 

[IMACOMPUTA]

Is anyone on here selling/trading VH?

 

[UncleBiz]

Check TF2 Outpost. Will be hard to find though I think.

thanks, managed to get one for 2 keys

 

[Shadownet]

Anyone have any thoughts on the Testament of Sherlock Holmes?

Also, even though I'm tempted to finally buy Tomb Raider, I'm disappointed that Guardian of Light isn't part of the deal

I'm wondering the same thing. Love me some Sherlock Holmes game.

 

[Orthogonal]

has Grim Dawn been a flash sale/community vote yet?

wanna grab that game, but gotta wait to see if its a daily first.

I don't think it ever has been in any sale that I know of. I hope it does to get some more exposure.

 

[outunderthestars]

I will go two tf2 keys for a Valiant Hearts Key if anyone here has one.

 

[Hugstable]

Come on, get in the game Blue Team

We already had our day. Now that Reddit's plan has been blown, Blue is always gonna be last. .

 

[Motorbreath]

Is anyone on here selling/trading VH?

Also interested, please contact me

 

[Sub Zero]

How come some people are selling Next Car Game for 6-7 tf2 keys? They don't look like scammers but such a low price for it seems suspicious

 

[Pachimari]

Hmm, can't seem to find Deadpool for cheap anywhere.

 

[corrosivefrost]

I feel like I should buy Child of Light to counter the VH error and pretend both games were 50% off.

I would have rushed to buy Child of Light @ 40% off. I would've still been there instantly at 33% or more ($9.99 or less).

Giving me <$4 off a $15 title? It's not that big of a difference, Ubi.

 

[Shadownet]

we have none of that known shit dude

This might be the only time in your life you wish you have a GameStop or Best buy near you

 

[Vade]

If transistor does not make it to a daily because of that single vote.... I might have to buy it at 10% what blasphemy.

 

[corrosivefrost]

How come some people are selling Next Car Game for 6-7 tf2 keys? They don't look like scammers but such a low price for it seems suspicious

it's a community deal where it's about 9 keys in US prices ($18).
Figure in a Ruski discount and that seems legit.

Hmm, can't seem to find Deadpool for cheap anywhere.

The game or the new pinball table?

If the game, of course you can't, it's no longer on Steam, so prices shot up.
If the pinball DLC, of course you can't, it came out today.

 

[Defyler]

Is it worth picking up the two Burial at Sea DLCs for Bioshock Infinite at 50% off or wait for the final day of the sale?

 

[masterkajo]

so, um, now that im stuck with a tf2 key is there any decent trades i can make without making a heavy investment in more keys?

Also, how the hell does one trade for a .5 key? Like how am i supposed to give someone 2.5 keys, for example?

Haha, we are in the same boat again. Well I don't know what good deals you could get for 1 key. Lets see and find out. Regarding 0.5 keys. I understood it as 1 Tour of Duty ticket = 0.5 TF2 keys. You can also use refined metal which is something like 8 refined metal = 1 TF2 key. Pretty complicated and a whole currency in itself this online trading.

 

[dosh]

Hmm, can't seem to find Deadpool for cheap anywhere.

Wasn't it pulled from most online retailers?

 

[Saty]

Thanks for Final Slam.

 

[JakeD]

I'm wondering the same thing. Love me some Sherlock Holmes game.

I haven't beaten it, but it's a pretty darn good puzzle/adventure/PnC game from the few hours I've played

 

[BinaryPork2737]

huh. Man, it already looks like the other days again. The hell.
Only with Red dominating overall.

You see what your false whales have brought you?

 

[Tizoc]

Valiant Hearts is one I've had my eye on for a while, interested to see when it receives its first sale.

Uh...it's $0.20 on the Russian Steam store...

Also, how the hell does one trade for a .5 key? Like how am i supposed to give someone 2.5 keys, for example?

Basically 0.5 means half the price of a regular TF2 Key. In this case a Tour of Duty Ticket, which goes around $1.00 or whereabouts is treated as 0.5 TF2 Key.

 

[Lomax]

Also, how the hell does one trade for a .5 key? Like how am i supposed to give someone 2.5 keys, for example?

Usually a tour of duty ticket, or some combination of cards/compendium points/refined metal of approximate value.

Testament is a quality adventure game. Extremely enjoyable and incredible production values.

Worth pointing out though that for $40 (yes I know 10x the price) you can pre-order the next game coming in Sept (Crimes and Punishment) and get Testament for free immediately.

Wasn't it pulled from most online retailers?

No. Activision's license with Marvel ran out so it was pulled from PSN/XBLM. Retail copies were never pulled but it's no longer being manufactured and no longer available digitally meaning physical copies were gobbled up.

 

[MMBosstones86]

it's a community deal where it's about 9 keys in US prices ($18).
Figure in a Ruski discount and that seems legit.

eh. The russian price doesn't seem to be THAT much of a difference from what I can see. about $17 and change?

 

[Enthus]

I really wish Steam would allow us to customize the order of games in our library. Having Final Fantasy XI come before III because it has a copyright sign is stupid. Oh well, at least now I have every Final Fantasy title available on Steam.

 

[Turfster]

Uh...it's $0.20 on the Russian Steam store...

They fixed it an hour ago.

They seem to be working on sorting order stuff in the steam database, so maybe soon.

Yeah but I heard people got it for 6-7 tf2 keys and right now it seems like the sellers want around 20.

yeah I saw that too. But I'm probably going to buy Crimes and Punishment on PS4. and then wait for a super cheap steam sale later on for PC

If I end up liking the game a lot.. Thanks for the info though!

 

[Garcia]

Omg, I totally missed the Valiant Hearts craze :'(. I was in the middle of an exam; logged into Steam just to see everyone gettting it. What was the pricing?

 

[Chindogg]

Damn Valiant Hearts was .20 on the Russian store? I wish I could have snagged that real quick.

My Steam name is Chindogg btw. *cough* *cough*
