The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

Where is your Gaben now, tr00 believer?

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Free-to-play pseudoeducational pseudogame made by SJWs with anime hair. We've seen that before.

Finally some stuff worth posting about:
Luftrausers -75%: http://store.steampowered.com/app/233150/
Shadow Warrior -80%: http://store.steampowered.com/app/233130/
Squishy Suicidal Pig -95% - might be worth it for the cards: http://store.steampowered.com/app/318430/

Any ideas when the next steam sale is going to start? I hear people saying possibly mid march or during the spring break.

I really want that Songs of Byzantium pack for CK 2. I missed the sale last time by an hour

Every 2 weeks?

I own these two.

Luftrausers gets old really quick, and handles unlockables in a manner that requires needless grinding. Not recommended.

Squishy is a puzzle platformer with the sick twist that you're supposed to kill yourself on every level, which is actually not as easy as it sounds. It gets more compliacted further on. For .14 it's well worth a go, and the cards are a nice bonus.

SteamOS sale: http://store.steampowered.com/sale/steamos_sale/

Wasteland 2 50% off.

 

[OSK]

Wow. That's quite the announcement of a number of mainstream games coming to Linux.

 

[Metro]

2K, SEGA, Paradox, Deep Silver, CD Projket, and Warner Brothers. And the usual indie suspects.

Most of the big ones aside from Bethesderp. I didn't really doubt it. Steam is such a huge presence it was only a matter of time before the big publishers fell in line. GabeN is taking on Microsoft.

Paradox and CD Projekt have been linux compatible for a while. Clauswitz engine for Paradox has been for over a year now. CDP cheats by using a wine wrapper, but C for effort I suppose.

I'd like to see the Jap devs get on this since they're making console games anyways, but it seems just programming for Windows is a herculean task for them.

Edit: 2k/Firaxis has been supporting linux since Civ5 as well.

 

[SerratedBiz]

Civ5 with DLCs is at 75% off or something. $10 for the whole thing.

Capcom gunna Capcom. They're always a couple years behind the trend. Only now are they working on Steam versions of Dead Rising 2/OTR migrating it off of GFWL.

Will wait until 75% off, then buy 10 of them and leave them lying around my apartment doing nothing.

Oh come on, don't be like that.

At least use them as a doorstop or something.

 

[Country_Gravy]

If they don't show up in my steam library AND have cards, I'm not buying.

 

[Infinitron]

Memoria 80% off: http://store.steampowered.com/app/243200/

Buy it

 

[Starwars]

How important is it to have played the first game?

 

[pippin]

Memoria spoils the ending of the first game right away. It could be necessary for context as well.

 

[Drakron]

Memoria 80% off: http://store.steampowered.com/app/243200/

Buy it

No.

 

[LESS T_T]

X Rebirth, PAYDAY 2 and Red Faction Guerrilla are free to play and on sale this weekend.

And Ubisoft weekend: http://store.steampowered.com/sale/ubisoft_weekend/

South Park and Child of Light are 66% off and Might and Magic X is 75% off.

 

[KoolNoodles]

X3: Goldbox for $8. Why the hell not.

 

[DwarvenFood]

Child of Light any good ? Was thinking of Valiant Hearts personally, or perhaps CoJ: Gunslinger

 

[Starwars]

Valiant Hearts is shit. I really enjoyed Child of Light though you have to kinda play it for the aesthetics. Gameplay isn't *bad* but it's not exactly great either.

I found the game extremely charming.

 

[Metro]

Will probably buy Watch_Dongs.

 

[Astral Rag]

Might as well post this here too:
