The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

[pakoito]

The steam reviews say the AI is very good.
But obviously it's not free...
I'm firing it up now, of course I don't know how to play yet so I can't comment further on it.

Should have phrased that correctly. Try this: http://keldon.net/rftg/

Be careful with Resident Evil 4. I got it from Humble ages ago and turns out it doesn't launch on monitors with a refresh rate over 60Hz. Even changing the rate through the Nvidia control panel to 60 didn't make any difference.

I don't usually do this, but I bought DLC for
Invisible Inc.
Hard West
Legends of Eisenwald

Games I bought
King of Dragon Pass

An acceptable haul.

One warning - AI get lucky sometimes with their moves and RNG. Sometimes a lot.
Some moves they pulled out in my playthrough still haunt me at night...
Even vastly overrated Darkest Dungeons is more fair in that regards

I raged so much while playing this. Yet, I did like it a lot.

You have no idea...

Lord Bane alone will make you ragequit, probably more than once.

I played through most of the game with the ogre in my party. As for powers, I mostly used abilities that destroyed/changed gems, so if the deck looked bad I could change it.

The area in the expansion pack (not to mention the endboss) is so heavily based around green gems and poison that it ain't funny. If you can beat that, you shouldn't have a problem building a strategy to take down Lord Bane.

I can't even remember which side-game it was exactly, but one of them had pre-determined solutions... so just look them up online and see in what order they're supposed to be solved.

Sadly (or fortunately?) I could never get into the sequel, or any of the spin-offs.

The final boss, I kept trying to beat for 2 days. I had an easier time with all of the expansion.

The moves the final boss made were mindboggling. Haven't played the game in years.

 

[Jigawatt]

Got End is Nigh, Hollow Knight, and Age of Wonders III.

Also 8 copies of Counter Strike 1.6 (NZ$1.20 apiece) for Friday afternoons at 'work'.

Interesting to see that how Steam Awards is boosting positive reviews on many games.

Steam gives you a badge when you nominate games, and you can upgrade it by posting (or updating) a review on a game you nominated. I think it doesn't matter if a review is positive or negative but since you nominated it for some award you likely post a positive one.

Notably Nioh 76% (before Steam Awards) -> 82% (now) From Mostly Positive to Very Positive!

ELEX even a bit cheaper than what I posted a few days ago, if you're OK with buying outside of Steam.

$34.95 or 29.22 EUR

I resisted the last sale, but I'll probably go for this one (even though I decided to replay all games by Piranha Bytes and I'm now only at Gothic 2, so I could wait for an even better sale, but I want to pay also for all the pirated games I played as a student).

 

[Modron]

Dominions 5 came out mid sale, when will developers and publishers learn.

 

[Vorark]

One warning - AI get lucky sometimes with their moves and RNG. Sometimes a lot.

Agree. Even in the first 3 or 4 hours, I've said "fuck you" out loud more than to all other games this year combined.

Yes, the AI can be super cheap at times. Don't worry, though; you'll be back for more... and more... and more...

 

[Multidirectional]

Bought Prey, Deus Ex Mankind Divided, Rise of Nations Extended, Half Life 1 and Opposing Force, Alpha Popamole. Would've gotten Gothic 1 just to have it on Steam but can't buy separately from G1-G3 bundle so fuck it.

 

[TalesfromtheCrypt]

Age of Empires 2 HD
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic
Silent Hunter 4 + Uboot missions
Attila

[Gerrard]

Man that Desu Ex price... I guess the game did not do very good.

I saw 85% off and was going to buy it, but then I looked at the base price and was like NOPE.

[Zombra]

this looks pretty cool. isometric stealth action RPG in a steampunk setting from ex-CDPR devs... so basically isometric Thief/Dishonored.

Hmm. Looks like there's an awful lot of shooting skeletons with fireballs.

Following GOG, Descent games are back on Steam:

This may be what Herve was referring to.

I get more of a Commandos/Desperados vibe from this.

Just like Thief and Commandos!
