The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

[Berekän]

Turns out I wasted like 5€ in the DE of XCOM2.
The discount is indeed higher than it was last week.
Well, sucks, such is the nature of gambling..

If you haven't played more than 2 hours yet you can refund it and buy it again

 

[sullynathan]

got Killing Floor for free, you should too

the only real sleeper hit/hidden gem I found in recent years is Betrayer. check it out

 

[Bumvelcrow]

Tempted to buy The Stick of Truth, which is 75% off, but anticipating much Ubisoft-related trauma and angst.

 

[Jimmious]

Do the XCOM2 DLCs have a discount for you people? I still get a "normal" price of 10 jewros

 

[Starwars]

Tempted to buy The Stick of Truth, which is 75% off, but anticipating much Ubisoft-related trauma and angst.

It doesn't use the Uplay thing (unless they added it in later) so go for it. It's pretty fun if you like South Park.

 

[Gepeu]

Just watch the cinematics (99% of the game anyway) on youtube.

 

[Zombra]

Should I get the recent Deus Ex?

$15 for Mankind Divided is a good price for sure. I paid ~$20 and got my money's worth.

 

[Trodat]

Should I care about Dishonored DLC's or just buy the base game?

The two proper DLC are very good, better than the base game, IIRC.

Eh, still $8? Meh. Just go back and watch the old episodes again, you'll have a better time. Too much of "Stick" relies on reminding you of the show. "Remember Mr. Slave?? Here he is! Remember the pirate ship?? There it is, sitting there for no reason! Remember Al Gore?? Fight him!" If they cut the game in half so it was all original material it would have been awesome, but slogging through the rehashed stuff really made it a drag for me. This is a game I played to the end but was truly glad to get it over with.

Store may be crapping itself and I can't even access my wishlist in its entirety, but by god I sure could sell those cards on the marketplace without any problems. Valve got their priorities right.

Then again Bumvelcrow maybe my memory is faulty. Here is what I said back in the day (but long before I finished the game):

I really don't trust the Codex when it comes to Obsidian, but is this game worth purchasing when it goes below $10?

I'd say it's a good $30 game, unless a ~15 hour playtime would make you angry at that price. $10, jesus, that would be a steal. Don't hold your breath waiting for the bargain bin though.

 

[Alienman]

Grey Goo worth 5 euro? Does it feel like an old school RTS?

 

[Beggar]

New Vegas for me is just 2 euros. But I guess I wont be able to access anything till tomorrow. Overload is killing everything right now

 

[Hoaxmetal]

New Vegas for me is just 2 euros.

I'd guess that's without the DLC.

 

[Beggar]

New Vegas for me is just 2 euros.

I'd guess that's without the DLC.

Yeah. +DLC is 10euros. Too much for an old game.

Gonna take this time vanilla New Vegas and Hitman: Blood Money. Was thinking about Prince of Persia: Warrior Within which is 5 euros - fuck it.

 

[Endemic]

That's weird, it was 4.99 during one of the winter sales.

 

[Bumvelcrow]

Thanks, Zombra - I'll have a think about it. For some reason I've been avoiding SoT, probably Ubisoft-related, and even at 75% off I'm having difficulty convincing myself. I haven't watched South Park for years so perhaps it'll be a bit more fresh than for somebody who's a regular viewer.

 

[markec]

This looks fun

For $5 it looks like a steal. Was interested in it for a while, thanks to the whole "lost colony" setting.

 

[Hellion]

Yuge sale.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

I'm loving the BR reviews.

"Bought it for R$2 and the cards were worth R$2.83. The game is also pretty cool and you can oppress the leftists"

"TRUMP 2016
BOLSONARO 2018
SUCK IT LEFTIES, disgusting mortadella eaters, sons of mares"

"Recommeded for thos who want to play as Trumpão and bully the world"

"According to the legend, this game can damage your computer if you voted for the left, given the high levels of oppression"

50 minutes after the Sales' start and the Store is still a mess due to increased traffic, one would think that Gabe should be able to prevent this after the first 70 times his sales crippled the servers but no. It's almost like a ritual now.

Checking back again tomorrow, hope it's stabilized a bit by then.

It says right there that the store is "under heavy load", wait until Gaben is done announcing the sale and gets off the stage.

 

[Alienman]

Got to love that 33.6 modem retro speed of surfing the Steam page right now.
