The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

Is it any good? Last I heard people were complaining because it was very generic.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Sure, if a setting similar to Darklands is generic.

SOMA is currently 40% off on Steam.

Isn't it basically a PvE version of Legendary Heroes/Fallen Enchantress/Whatever?

I suppose, but any "strategy" elements are superficial at best. It's not really a 4X, or strategy game for that matter. It plays like shallow party based RPG. What I'm trying to say is that it's like any other Stardock game: shovelware that gets charged at a premium price.

Vampire the masquerade - bloodlines -75%

More than that, it's Activision Weekend: http://store.steampowered.com/sale/activisionweekend/

CoD Ghosts must have really tanked, I've never seen any other game in the series with a sale that steep. They won't even give the original WW2 games a proper discount.

They failed with SteamOS, Steam Controler and Steam something else now they want revenge. Plus - paid mods via DOTA.

Did SteamOS even come out? I thought they were still resolving micro-issues for the next 20 years.

Wasn't it always out? It's what is in the steam boxes.

 

[Zarniwoop]

Yeah but I thought it's in perpetual beta. And like 3% of the planned Steam boxes came out.

 

[Excidium II]

Just like the Steam client.

Spoiler

checking the Wikipedia article

it seems that yes, SteamOS is a massive POS and that's why many manufacturers have not bothered releasing their Steam Machines.

Cool, because of Steam's new feature where you can pay only for what you don't own in a bundled package, I can get Saints Row: Gat out of Hell + DLC for just 2 bucks.

Wow thanks men. I can get it for R$4,08 when individually they cost $11,65

Yep, thanks! I was not going to buy Gat Out of Hell because I haven't got time to play and 5€ seemed pretty high for something that I don't know if and when I'll enjoy.

On the other hand... have they really thought this through? By itself, it cost 5€, with the bundle, it costs half of that and comes with other DLCs. When will they start giving ME money for using Steam?

 

[Excidium II]

They probably haven't adapted to the new bundle system.

 

[Martius]

Actually its not mandatory. Publisher can just ignore that if they want.

But they are using it. Just the price is off because we own the rest of the bundle.

Lol, and in March when I started a discussion about this on the Steam forums a bunch of morons harped on about what a bad idea it is or why it will kill sales as we know it.

Lemme just go resurrect that thread and rub it in their faces. That'll show those popamolers.

 

[Zarniwoop]

Gaben The Massive already killed sales as we know them by getting rid of the dailies and flash sales during the summer and holiday sales.

 

[Excidium II]

My wallet is thankful.

The amazing 1998 Battlezone just got a remake released on Steam. http://store.steampowered.com/app/301650/

They all look like they're using the same engine so probably shitty mods that someone at Valve okayed for sale.
