Is secret of the magic crystals legitimately a good game? Also why is no one buying Super House of Deade Ninjas? Game is beyond legit, it's balloobial!

it's better than bad rats.
plus it has horse racing dlc

I've been eyeballing Transistor today. I know it is only 25%, but I was already considering getting it on PS4. Besides talking controllers and flashing lights is there any difference? Nerdy as this sounds, I thought the controller features sounded cool, but I doubt it will go on sale anytime soon on PSN. Decisions, decisions...

 

[BinaryPork2737]

I usually don't post about Greenlight games unless I call out really trashy looking ones, but this game looks too good to miss talking about it and I haven't seen anything at all about it on Gaf.

Timespinner is currently on Kickstarter and it's already nearing its $50,000 goal after only a few days (it's hovering around $33,000 right now).

Timespinner is a 2D Metroidvania Platformer for PC, Mac OS X, and Linux. At its heart, the game is a child of the great pixelated classics of the SNES and PS1 age. From the rich story worlds of Star Ocean, the expansive gothic castle exploration in Castlevania, and the tight gameplay of Megaman X, Timespinner seeks to weave all of these elements into one amazing game.

- Stop time to evade foes, use them as platforms, and solve puzzles.
- Explore a large connected world with areas such as a medieval castle, a petrified forest, a bustling metropolis, and a space-age laboratory.
- Clobber enemies with Magic Orbs found throughout the world. Every Orb has both a unique melee and ranged-spell attack that grow in power the more you use them.
- Travel through time to different eras across the planet's tumultuous history and reach areas inaccessible in other time periods.
- Upgrade abilities and purchase new ones with Entropy Gems obtained from fallen foes and secret chests.
- Discover hidden areas and treasure through breakable walls and platforming puzzles
- Fight intense boss battles with heavy emphasis on skill, timing, and dodging.
- Adventure alongside companion Familiars such as Meyef, the dream dragon, and more!

Here's a thread about it.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

It seriously don't bring the framerate down?

Maybe to a locked 30. I only have GTAIV on PC, never seriously played it. I'm speaking of my experience on consoles. I doubt it can get much worse than sub 20s if you can normally run the game at 60fps, for example. Someone else should weigh in on this though.

Speaking of hidden gems, I'd put my recommendation forward for Prime World: Defenders which is currently $1.99 (80% off).

Prime World: Defenders is a really competent tower defense game with an element of collectible card games like Magic: The Gathering. While it's true that the game can be "grindy" in some spots, for me it hasn't really gotten old even after putting in over 32 hours.

What I'm saying is: it's well worth the $2 if you're a tower defense fan.

 

[PandaPedinte]

I can confirm that KOTOR 2 doesn't work on integrated graphics, but it works fine on my GTX 760.

It worked for me.

 

[nbthedude]

Wow Valve striking back/picking up the gloves

http://blog.dota2.com/2014/06/6608/

is this a first?

I don't follow Dota 2 but those Fnatic guys sound like real asshole trying to ditch a team mate when he his battling depression and anxiety.

Fuck those guys.

 

[SniperHunter]

FEAR <3 At a good price as well !

[Red]

Man, I kinda want to get GTA IV. Is GFWL really that bad? And there's no way to remove it?

fwiw, it's one of the few games that never gave me any issues (besides the obtrusive log in process).

 

[Speevy]

So guys...what games have you kind of resigned to not getting during this sale even though you still want them?

Mine are

-Astebreed
-Transistor
-Shovel Knight
-Broforce

Thanks for the recommendation. I've wishlisted it for the last day.

Since i just won a game i thought i would give something as well

Dust is excellent, even if the art style is a little off-putting! Everything is hand-drawn, I beleive.

 

[Speevy]

It worked for me.

I should mention that mine was Intel HD 3000 when I tried.

Didn't even notice that, downloaded pretty fast. It's not exactly titanfall!

I'll make a thread about it in a few minutes, too.

Whoa, that looks really good. Backing

 

[C.Dark.DN]

What's up with the resolution choices for KOTR?

Has anyone bought this and can confirm 100% they work on a PC?

Star Wars

I bought it. They work.

 

[FlashFlooder]

Damn, wasn't quick enough to nab Orcs Must Die 2.

I really hope both of them go on sale, they look awesome.

 

[Caerith]

Dust is excellent, even if the art style is a little off-putting! Everything is hand-drawn, I beleive.

The creator of Dust is a professional animation artist. Kinda shows, doesn't it?

(Also he's a gaffer by the name of Noogy.)

 

[Sendou]

Just to be sure, there is no way I will not be locked from the market by loging from a different computer right? My laptop's hard drive died and I wanted to sell the cards. -_-

I thought that's exactly how you till get locked from the market.

EDIT: Well that's wasn't very recent post.

 

[Turfster]

What's up with the resolution choices for KOTR?

It's an old game.
There are widescreen fixes around, but last I checked, they weren't entirely perfect.

 

[JoduanER2]

Orcs Must Die 2 - free to a good home.

thank you Ragarra

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

Yes, they are.
They basically turned a scary as hell enemy into a bimbo with make-up and bolt-on tits.

The release notes for the newest version of REBIRTH says that they changed the midwife to make it scarier again after people criticized older editions of the mod. I think I'll be fine.

 

[Kadin]

If that doesn't work, I got a reply from Steam when I reported the issue too. this is what they said

Well I appreciate the post. I did that with deleting everything but the file/folder and then even tried IE and it's still not working. I honestly think it has something to do with my account because I can add a CC and buy on my alt account. Have to just wait until I hear back from them.

Made my first purchase of the steam sale this year, and it is Octodad! Had 50p in my wallet as well so got it for £3.50

what a surprise

 

[nbthedude]

So guys...what games have you kind of resigned to not getting during this sale even though you still want them?

Mine are

-Astebreed
-Transistor
-Shovel Knight
-Broforce

For Me:

Transistor - I bought Shovel Knight instead and think I made the right choice

Might and Magic X - It looks awesome but not a steep discount and the the kind of game I'd really love to play with a controller (which was the deal breaker)

Jazz Punk - I just decided it wasn't worth the price and I'm not even sure it's my thing in terms of humor

Heavy Bullets - Really thought this one looked neat but I have enough to play

Sir, You're Being Hunted - Ditto

Ether One - ditto


But I did pick up a TON of games - Betrayer, Dead Island Riptide, Shovel Knight, Dead Rising 3 (from B/S/T), Witcher 3 (B/S/T), Shadow of Mordor (B/S/T), Strike Vector, Steamworld Dig, Kentuck Route Zero (B/S/T), Space Hulk, Miasmata (gifted to me), Metal Slug (gifted to me), Upepic, Double Dragon Neon, Agarest War (gifted to me), Battleblock Theatre, Talisman Digital, Blackgaurds (B/S/T), Shuggy (free), Marlow Briggs, and Halo: Spartan Assault, Retrograde (gifted to me)

I also gifted several of the above to friends for coop play.

[Turfster]

True, but since he only said KOTR and said he bought the newegg pack, I'm 95% sure he meant the first one

The release notes for the newest version of REBIRTH says that they changed the midwife to make it scarier again after people criticized older editions of the mod. I think I'll be fine.

I'm not forcing you to listen to me, just giving a warning like the doomsayers of old!

 

[OnionPowder]

It's an old game.
There are widescreen fixes around, but last I checked, they weren't entirely perfect.

It takes a little bit of work but you can get the HUD to work with it. I play it in 1080p. Only issue is when it loads it fades the screen in at a 4:3 resolution still.

[Acccent]

What lesson would it teach them? To buy from other retailers and give Valve less money? Very productive.

I'm a big business supporter, and not one of the businesses would ever stop a sale because of whining about said sale if the dollars keep flowing.

You're right. Because Valve does these sales simply from the love in their heart for their consumers and are not benefitting at all from it. They only do it as a favor to all their little steam children.

Also, publishers get to independently decide if their game goes on sale and for how much at any point anyway, so?

So basically a company deciding that its most profitable periods of revenue should be shut down because making money is no longer in its own interest. Why? To teach a whiny "lesson" to groups of its own userbase who it deems to be "whiny" enough to deserve "lessons" at the extreme expense of their own bottom line.

Stop. Please.

huh, I think I utterly failed to get my point across... I'm not saying Valve will stop the sales nor that they should &#8211; of course that's not gonna happen ever

I'm just saying I find it kinda annoying how everyone in the thread was complaining because some games happen to have received greater discount more than once, or because the discounts are 'only' -25%...

To build on that discussion though, I think it's definitely a possibility that Valve is currently trying to fix the ecosystem they partially damaged with the sales &#8211; we all know there's a problem with people never even considering games until they're on sale. It's a complicated issue, and Valve isn't the only one to blame (and of course Steam has also been a huge benefactor to the industry, I'm not saying otherwise), but maybe they're experimenting with ways to dampen the problem by making sales somewhat less 'dramatic', and maybe to make it more of an event focused on the metagame rather than the discount themselves. Someone else mentioned earlier how it would have been better if users gained points by, say, winning in competitive matches in various games; I think that's definitely the kind of thing we might see in the future, things less focused on 'lower prices' but still incentivising sales, to both keep the cash flowing and try to counter the phenomenon where Steam users get 'trained' to wait for sales before buying anything.

Well, I think you're the first to reply about my question and I was just looking for confirmation.

 

[Ganzor]

Thank you Ganzor for Dust though the key was already redeemed.

ok add me on steam if you want then we can fix it Ganzzor on steam

 

[Aurarian]

Well that's encouraging. I just created a ticket a while back, did it take very long to hear back from them? And was your experience just like I described?

Yep. Except now I'm locked out again for the marketplace. Haven't tried purchasing since nothing really awesome came up today. It's apparently an automated thing from what they told me.
