The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

[MicoSelva]

Not a very good sale so far. I have picked up only two games (Naval Warfare and Garshasp : Monster Slayer), both below $1, and Max Payne Anthology (to get rid of my boxed one). But I am very picky with my purchases now - generally not buying games priced over $3 or longer than 10 hours (no time to play those).

Most of the stuff Infi posted was in a bundle or two. Think I have 2 keys to Deadly Premonition for example.

What I'm probably gonna buy are Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms and Company of Heroes 2. Want Crypt of the Necromancer but gonna skip it till its 75% off.

Btw, Greenmangaming VIP section got some good deals, like new Wolfenstein for 10 quid, Dishonored for 2, new Thi4f for 4 and Fallout New Vegas for 2.

Well, I guess you mean some of the DLC, as even the latter is in a current bundle.

From the bundle..
"Oberkommando is a standalone playable multi-player experience that does *not* require the base game: Company of Heroes 2."
I want the base game with the singleplayer campaign, not this shit. Already got the bundle tho.

Well, the key gives you the base game with the "Oberkommando" DLC. At least it's listed that way on Steam. Haven't tried yet, as it's more than 22 GB. Is the single player campaign also a DLC?

Edit: Okay, the actual download is only 12.2 GB. With my shitty internet connection, it will take a while until I know for sure.

 

[DramaticPopcorn]

Meh, gonna wait for Christmas sale instead ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Astral Rag]

So far I've purchased Darkness Within: In Pursuit of Loath Nolder (4.8€) and Primordia (4€).

 

[Markman]

Installing the bundle game now. Then we'll see. Steam overloaded, download tops at 2mb/s. Thx for the tip anyway,Turjan
I think raw should know.

I got the Shadows game cause it was like 20 minutes left on sale and I wanted to play it tonight instead of waiting for the Encore sale day.


Btw, Metro's GOTY Kingdoms of Amalur is on sale for 5 bucks.

 

[Don Peste]

"Tops at 2mb/s"? Goddamned viking that doubles my connection!

 

[Metro]

Guess I should finally use that coupon on Shadow Warrior to get it for $1

 

[Infinitron]

90%, nice: http://store.steampowered.com/app/233130/

Also, AoE3 is 80% off but it's still too expensive for such an old game!

 

[Space Satan]

Good news, everyone. our favorite https://steamdb.info start making Wilson rating, instead of common positive-negative. A bit of explanation
This way we can see some really good games on steam. https://steamdb.info/sales/

 

[Insane Psychic]

Is the first one worth it? I know 2 is shit and like three hours long so I won't bother with the 'complete pack' but wondering if the first is decent.

Nope, both are shit.

BioShock Infinite - Wilson Score 95%

 

[Jick Magger]

Return to Castle Wolfenstein 50% off http://store.steampowered.com/app/9010/

Judge Dredd: Dredd vs Death 85% off http://store.steampowered.com/app/3710/?snr=1_7_15__13

 

[Space Satan]

BioShock Infinite - Wilson Score 95%

It's a rating - you should take a note on it, not take it as an order to buy. 31,426 positive and 1,520 negative. It seems people on STEAM like BI after all. And even if with this one I disagree, I agree with majority of Wilson top. M&B, Kerbal, Payday, AoEII, etc.

 

[MicoSelva]

Sengoku any good?

 

[pakoito]

"Don't Starve" with the DLC worth it? I'll take a look.

Forget about Don't Starve, it sucks.
Better get The Long Dark. One of the Tacticual Cancer staff recommend it. Don't care if you like TC group or not, The Long Dark is good game. One of the survivar themed game that doesn't suck.

There's, like, no universe in the multiverse where Don't Starve sucks for you if you like survival/resource management games. Not one. If you played it on release and dumped it after two hours then I can understand but now it's a completely different game and it fucking rocks.

I've bounced off it three times, on EA, on Release and last Summer Sale. What does people see in it? I could barely see any content, just spent all my time foraging rocks and grass to make absolutely nothing interesting.

Game's bursting with content, especially with the expansion, no idea watcha talking about. Maybe it's just not for you.

Sun's up, gather rocks, gather grass, gather wood, go back to fire. Make science machine, make armor, make basic tools, make weather machine. No more content available to unlock. Gather rocks, gather grass, gather wood, die of starvation or evil statue two days later.

Maybe it's not for me.

 

[cvv]

Yeah, you should probably play something else.

Game's awesome tho.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

I'm hearing that the Don't Starve DLC adds so much more.

I've done 4 playthroughs so far, and the longest I've lasted is the night of Day 6. At first it's just run around, collect basic resources and build campfire for evening, but then I started catching a glimpse of more.

# If you're stranded away from your "base camp" at night with nothing but a torch, you can set fire to trees and such to provide light.

# Clearly you're supposed to build more complex things than what you said, but the most important part for all that is Location.

# Resources like grass and trees are renewable, so you'll need to keep an eye out for places that have them in good supply nearby. Chopping down trees near your base camp does not seem to be a good idea, unless you plant new trees immediately afterwards.

# The two biggest problems I'm seeing with the game is the "crafting tree", which seems to be all about unlocking stuff, and the randomness/scarcity of resources. I've found silk and some other rare resources, but I had to look far and wide to get them.

Honest truth, based on this moment in time with playing this game? It's a "me-too" game of Terraria. Start up a game of Terraria, enable Ironman mode, and you've got a more fun and colourful version of Don't Starve.

I may be wrong, of course, but I'm not done playing the game yet.

 

[pakoito]

I did all of that and got nicer stuff than silk, some rare stones and stuff, but they didn't unlock anything interesting. Just a better campfire that requires less fuel.

I tried to trap with bait and stuff, with no results.

As you say, I was in Terraria pre-release and got more kick from it.
