Hmm, I'm skipping Remember Me.

I bought The King of Fighters XIII, Call of Duty: World at War, Mark of the Ninja Special Edition DLC, and some Splinter Cell: Blacklist DLC instead.

I also have Vanguard Princess, Skullgirls, Mortal Kombat and Super Street Fighter IV. Which other fighters are on Steam besides Tekken X Street Fighter?

Isn't Remember Me highly regarded on here? For some reason I keep mixing up Remember Me and Gone Home so maybe I'm just crazy and thinking about Gone Home.

So the 40gig isn't any good....but the speed is 8mb so I think it's good

8Mb/s is pretty slow for most developed countries. I mean, if it's good for your area, then by all means, awesome. It varies wildly depending on the area you're in. But, like, my connection is not very fast and I have 15Mb/s. Akamai reports average US speed is around 9-10Mb/s right now, so your connection would be below average in the US. And 40GB is really really terrible transfer. An hour of Netflix a day would take up more than half your bandwidth. 1-2 new release games would take up all your monthly bandwidth.

You did it wrong.

Most of us like Remember Me, yes.

should i grab the Rebirth and Shock Texture Upgrade mods before, or after my first play through of System Shock 2

No, no, no, stay away from that crap.
 
I keep seeing Ikaruga mentioned a lot and had no idea what that was so I checked it out on steam and immediately went back to the homepage after watching like 2 seconds of it. I actually laughed a bit when I saw it. Is everyone here just pulling my chain or do you guys actually want that to win?

ok, but If Ikaruga doesn't win I'm going to burn the building down.

Your taste is highly suspect if this is true. Ikaruga is a masterpiece. Probably the most beautiful shmup ever made.

$4.99 is already a great deal for Ikargua or whatever it is you cheap bastadges.

please... you are talking about the same cheap bastards who flooded Rayman Legends despite $24 already being an AMAZING value for that game.

If it's over $3 in a steam sale you'll always have a vocal group wanting it to come up on a later flash sale for cheaper... :\
 
there were lots of summer sales already, not mentioning two are active right now! Has it ever occurred to you that it can be not out of our choice?
being cheap bastards
That there is no other way left for us?

I have no idea what you're saying, but it sounds like poetry.

Something as... "we are bound to our fates... and our fate has led us to this... a decision point... riding on the winds of time"

The cheaper it is, the more of them I can give away.

That's the spirit! But I find the conflict between this statement and your avatar overwhelming.

I look forward to it.

Thanks KenOD already uploaded two. As soon I'm done with the game I'll be sure to post some impressions, in case I might finish before the sale I'll see if it's worth to put it in here since these threads always are crazy fast.

It's a classic.

I can't imagine two games more dissimilar than Remember Me and Gone Home (well, I guess they both have female protagonists).

I think Remember Me has it's fans here, but it's also treading some pretty familiar ground gameplay wise.

it's not out of cheapness, it's out of time-cheapness. we all have backlogs. buying now when we're not going to get to play it before the next sale when it's cheaper makes no sense. if we only bought what we had time to play, 90% of the developers we're buying from would be out of business :p

~3 hours to follow and retweet Smudged Cat to get The Adventures of Shuggy on Steam.
 
I have an hour to decide if I want Car Mechanic Simulator 2014 for $7 or not. It looks surprisingly detailed and serious, but also heavily reliant on knowing your way around the innards of a car (which I don't, I just race 'em on TV). Surprisingly few reviews, too. GAF: sell me or dissuade me!

There's a demo you can try if you're quick. I don't know where the fuel filter is so I'm stuck :(

When did Tekken x Street Fighter come out?
I had assumed it was cancelled at this point... ;)

I voted for Blockland & Beat Hazard. I already own the other four games on various platforms (Ikaruga on three!).

One of those 3 better be PC.

IMHO Injustice is better than MK(9) by a tiny bit. Though I'm guessing MK X is going to beat Injustice similarly.

fair enough. I mean obviously I've gorged myself on steam and gog the past week as much as any.. It's just annoying when you see those franchises/games that you personally LOVE and paid full price for willingly and happily only to see someone say "nah, $5 is too much.."
 
No. No you can't.
Not if you want Treasure to bring more things to Steam.

I don't really care all that much as I have other systems but it doesn't go on sale I'll certainly buy it.

Although of course having all the 360 ports/remasters moved to newer systems would be nice. Be it the PC or the One.

I don't know why some people keep accusing me of writing poetry, but be your way
short version:
We spent a lot on gmg, gamersgate, amazon, gog and steam already, we need more games while spending very little money, that we sill have left for food and drinks.
Happy?
damn, it's not short too... (._.)
I give up

Poor is what I will be once this sale is over, so at least you're right about that :p

It might be crap, but I'm looking forward to finding out for myself.

Well, don't say I didn't try to warn you ;)

Skipping the amazing art and style of Remember Me for an old, not great, Call of Duty game hurts my heart.

I know, right?
Here's a game from a smallish studio that tries something new and almost succeeds in all fields!
Oh, but here's a generic old warshootmans from an evil megacorp for a ridiculous discount, lemme get on that instead.
