Been a pretty luck lustre steam sale for moi. Usually I end up spending between £50 - £100. However this sale my wallet is only a tenner less, only one game bought during the steam sale which was Planet Explorers. Ho well maybe the winter sale will tempt me.

Wish I could have held out that well. I must have spent at least £50 so far, almost got everything I wanted

 

[Mono]

If anyone has card money left, I recommend:


$1.69

That looks really fun!

 

[Seraphis Cain]

It was fun while it lasted, finally we can be unzombified and have normal sleeping hours if we still have on what to sleep

It's 2:30 PM and I'm about to go to bed.

Gabe plz.

 

[Copons]

I didn't realize your avatar was, in fact, grumpy cat.

Eh, she's actually grumpy, but if I have to exploit her internet fame, I'd have to pick another moniker.


Silly Cat could do (also because it's Monk's nephew approved).

[The One Who Knocks]

Someone give me a few points on Dishonored. Is it good? How long is it? Issues? I am interested in getting the game of the year version.

To quote a post from slightly over a year ago:

The level design is magnificent (although, I will be honest that there are sections later in the game that I do quite dislike) as it allows for a plethora of approaches to each mission and no playstyle is discouraged. If you want to sneak through the game without upgrading/purchasing any powers or killing any enemy, you can. Alternatively if you wish to buy as much lethal items and powers as you can to slaughter your way through the game it is entirely possible and while the game will alter depending on your hostility it never feels as if the developer is trying to discourage you from playing as you wish. In the beginning it feels slightly clumsy to effectively utilise all that is at your disposal but by the end of the game you will be effortlessly navigating the environment. Some may comment that you end up overpowered or that the power 'Blink' trivialises the game and, to some extent, it is true due to the lower power consumption but I don't belive that it detracts from how enjoyable the game is. While I felt the atmosphere, world building and storyline was lacking personally I can certainly recognise the amount of detail that was included. I thought it was quite a unique game; it's not without its problems, but very enjoyable.

A shorter version:
-Open level design which is fantastic, but some later areas falter.
-Fun gameplay where you've a variety of ways to progress.
-Replayable due to the variety of powers and items you have.
-Serviceable story and characters, both of which I found ultimately bland, and while the world is developed, I found it forgetable and uninteresting even if I can appreciate the effort.
-Slightly too easy at parts as "Blink" may trivialise certain areas.
-Between five and fifteen hours depending upon how thoroughly you explore and how you play through the game, but I found one point predictable and an unnecessary method of dragging out the game's length unnecessarily.
Overall? An excellent game. It's flawed, but the gameplay is very fun.


The DLC I've not yet played despite purchasing, but my understanding is that the Brigmore Witches and Knife of Dunwall are worth playing with opinions generally being positive (this may not be accurate since I've very rarely viewed LTTP threads concerning these).

I would recomment it.

 

[Denton]

I got Walking Dead S2, Wolf Among Us S1, Kentucky Route and Secret World.

Pretty good.

 

[Indignate]

disappointed always sometimes monsters didn't get a cool discount in the whole sale :/

Same. Seems really interesting.

I guess there's always Winter.

 

[Levyne]

I have ten steambucks left and I don't know what to get. Suggestions!?

I can't possibly just...save it. Can I?

 

[Killadji]

Steamworld Dig isn't part of the Last Day sales and that's sad.

Welcome to PC gaming, you really started off with a bang.

 

[dot]

I wonder what dot is up to now...
the suspense is killing me.

Bad photoshopping.

He specifically told me to look out for it, so I'm assuming something has to be good there.

He did also tell me that he was 2 hours away from actually getting around to it.

That was just an estimate. I gotta do some cleaning soon after eating so it might be later than expected.

 

[SHarris78]

Is Killer is Dead any good??

Looking for something 'odd' to play.

 

[Athleon]

EDIT: oops, didn't see the NO HAULS thing. Disregard.

 

[Bri]

You can't craft anymore?

 

[phoenix296]

Uh... Okay.
So I tried to buy a couple of cards before the end.


bad fucking idea.

Was basically impossible buying them, I kept getting errors.
"Failed, item/market server is down. No exchange occured!" (something like that)

I was like okay, I'll refresh and try again.

one really fucking bad idea.

I went to the next card.
"Add more funds to steam wallet?"

What? I had 7 euros on it!

I checked my wallet, 0.14 euros.
I started freaking out, what the hell? I go to my inventory and I see 50 summer cards.
I panic and tries to put them back on the market.
Fail fail fail fail, it just doesn't want to accept the items.
So I in panic crafts as many badges I could, (3).

And I'm still left with these odd amounts of cards. (10 of one, 5 of one)
So I'm resorting to the market again.
Nope, only managed to sell 4 before Valve started making the cards invalid.

[IMG ]https://i.imgur.com/Dp0Qtf8.png[/IMG]

I guess I was too naive to believe the "no exchange occured", damn I was really waiting for the encore sale to pick up a couple of games for the same amount.

Ouch that really sucks.

 

[Denton]

The DLC I've not yet played despite purchasing, but my understanding is that the Brigmore Witches and Knife of Dunwall are worth playing with opinions generally being positive

DLCs for Dishonored are even better than the main game. But they must be played together as one game.

 

[Enco]

Genuinely good! It's as dumb as a bag of bricks but hella fun.

Yes, it actually is quite good, no joke.

yes

Sold.

 

[The_Monk]

Eh, she's actually grumpy, but if I have to exploit her internet fame, I'd have to pick another moniker.


Silly Cat could do (also because it's Monk's nephew approved).

That was before I knew you kicked you cat, once! This changes everything.

I'm locked out, so sent you some cards. Lashley93.

 

[Kadin]

So did everyone enjoy the team race aspect or do you hope they ditch it for the future?

 

[Halo 2]

Might as well:
actually nm, lists are lame. Show n' tell ended in pre-school.

 

[derExperte]

Ah, the cards are getting cheaper. Soon the time will come to level up the summer badge for no reason whatsoever.

Divinity: Original Sin

Thanks again for that!

 

[Faith]

I don´t know if I pick FarCry 3 or Metro LL, any recommendations on these?

 

[Nickle]

Someone give me a few points on Dishonored. Is it good? How long is it? Issues? I am interested in getting the game of the year version.

I beat it in 27 hours, but I took my time and tried to be as stealthy as possible. You could beat or in 5 hours if you take the guns a blazing route. The PC controls are incredible, and it's not too difficult to pull off moves that really make you feel like a ninja assassin. The soundtrack and story is meh, but the graphics are nice and crisp. If you like messing around with enemies (throwing bottles at their head from a distance, launching them off of tall buildings, teleporting behind them when they see you), then you will love Dishonored.

 

[rtcn63]

So did everyone enjoy the team race aspect or do you hope they ditch it for the future?

Tweak it, maybe. No team jumping. (Yes I know this means less money for his royal Gaben) Be loyal to the cause or die.

 

[Facism]

and Rising is back, taunting me.

 

[Arthea]

I have ten steambucks left and I don't know what to get. Suggestions!?

I can't possibly just...save it. Can I?

what is this saving, you are talking about it?

 

[Mordeccai]

THANK YOU UNIVERSE

I just went to do my laundry, and found a $20 in the washing machine. Looks like I'll be hitting up some of those crafty Russians for Divinity.

*does happy dance*

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

been waiting for rising to go back on sale and now it is i'm hovering over the buy button and hesitating to buy it. Got it for free on PS+ a while back and played it all the way through but still it'll look better on PC....Gah!

 

[Freezard]

Duke Nukem Forever Collection worth it for 6.50€? Hasn't it been on sale elsewhere for cheaper?

 

[NingenJanai]

So did everyone enjoy the team race aspect or do you hope they ditch it for the future?

It's a nice idea but it would be better if points were awarded by getting achievements in games instead of filling valve's pockets

 

[SmithnCo]

Picked up:

Dead Rising 3 Preorder
The Witcher 2
State of Decay
Call of Juarez Gunslinger
Defy Gravity (lol)
Skyrim
BattleBlock Theater
Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae
Gone Home
SteamWorld Dig
Long Live the Queen

[Bri]

and Rising is back, taunting me.

Got it gifted to me. Game is reaally good!

But question still remains. You can't craft the badge anymore? Im buying cards like there's no tomorrow atm.

 

[Lashley]

THANK YOU UNIVERSE

I just went to do my laundry, and found a in the washing machine. Looks like I'll be hitting up some of those crafty Russians for Divinity.

*does happy dance*

What site allows this mate? Really want Divinity, but short on cash atm.

Thanks

 

[Turfster]

*twitch* So... many... lists...
must... hold... on...

 

[Knurek]

GUYS

QUICK SUGGESTIONS FOR THE FUTURE OF THIS MOTHEREFFING THREAD SERIES


1) YOUR SALE LOOT
Most definitely there will be a proper thread for you to show how cool is your Steam library now. Please refrain posting your loot here, but do shamelessly there, along with your super fast internet speeds, your desktop wallpapers and the reason behind your nicknames.


2) THE FIRST PAGE OF THE NEXT THREAD
You'll eventually get to 5 posts to meet ModBot's NOLURKER rule, but it isn't really essential to get there in the very first page of the thread.
Now please, we don't need 400 posts of people greeting the new thread. Please, really.
A biweekly thread will be really hard to manage.


3) WHEN YOU WIN A GIVEAWAY
Would you (and I mean me too) please thank the giver via private message? Please? Pretty please?

Stump, please enforce this.

 

[DTKT]

These new holiday events are really disappointing. I never feel like participating. The winter event where we could turn coal into badges/games was great.

 

[Autofokus]

So did everyone enjoy the team race aspect or do you hope they ditch it for the future?

I basically completely ignored it.

 

[Mono]

THANK YOU UNIVERSE

I just went to do my laundry, and found a $20 in the washing machine. Looks like I'll be hitting up some of those crafty Russians for Divinity.

*does happy dance*

Omg, congrats! I love finding money in the washing machine; best feeling ever.
