Are you ready for a miracle? (06/19/14 - 06/30/14)

[jakefromstatefarm]

Is the stuff in Legendary Edition worth it while playing the main game?  Or can I just buy the $5 Skyirm and after I beat it play the DLCs?

The DLC's are essentially two additional maps and main questlines, along with a minigame where you can build a bigger house than is available in the base game in Hearthfire. So...no, not required to enjoy the base game, but imo, playthroughs with all the DLC installed adds a lot of variety to an already really dense game.

is there a way to return Steam games


I just assumed the Legendary version wouldn't get a sell that put it within the range of $10, which is what the original game was at last night. Now the Legendary version is $13.

oh well, by the time I beat the OG Skyrim I'd imagine the expansions will be cheap as hell anyway.

Sitting at a combined $22.49 right now and I realy doubt they'll drop anymore until ESVI comes out in ~2018.

Just bought Stanley Parable, finna get into this first person, fully VA'd night terror excellence.

[benjipwns]

Should have jumped on The walking Dead Season 2, but it's bound to reappear.

It's still on sale for another 18 hours.

All the daily deals last for 48 hours.

[pilonv1]

Are the Skyrim expansions any good? Not sure if its worth getting the legendary version, haven't played it in a few years

[Great Rumbler]

Yeah, they're both pretty good, Dragonborn especially.

[Phoenix Dark]

On a Steam sidenote, I really wish Wolfenstein ET could get put on Steam. It would no doubt revive the player base to a degree, since it's pretty complicated to download the game/patches now. And it might even lead some people to create a HD update for the game, which I've dreamed about for ages.

[benjipwns]

I believe it's on Desura which is like Steam in terms of how it operates.

[Quaker]

The game is nearly 3 years old and Bethesda still won't drop the DLC or GOTY edition to 75% off? 

[thisismyusername]

You're fucked.  Sorry, man. There's only one golden rule:

Has Resident Evil 4 been a daily or flash deal yet?

Not yet. I've been sitting here waiting for it. :'(

I believe it's on Desura which is like Steam in terms of how it operates.

>implying anyone uses Desura though.

Blame PD

[benjipwns]

>implying anyone uses Desura though.

I do 

It's actually pretty good for installing mods, like for HL and Civ IV, just one click and it takes care of it.

[pilonv1]

Some of these cards are still selling for nearly 40c

[thisismyusername]

No one really wants to craft.  It's why one team is completely lop-siding the others. When you're able ot craft point steals, it's like "well why should we craft?" Team mechanic was stupid. I really wish they'd just do random chance of a Steam user instead of these "oh well some people in your group" targeting.

[Eel O'Brian]

Bought 7 Days to Die (yeah, I don't know, either), Pac Man DX All You Can Eat Edition, and Age of Mythology EX

Shooting for Baldur's Gate 2 for $6.25, maybe The Forest if it goes on sale, then I think I'm done for real.

[Positive Touch]

DAMMIT JAPANESE DEVS GIVE ME BETTER DEALS PLEASE

I got BG2 and it's expansion for about $3.50 on GoG last weekend.

It's the extended edition on steam which adds some new content. Can't currently use many of the mods created for the original, though.

RULES OF NATURE

[Madrun Badrun]

How is Outlast?  it looks great.  is the dlc good?

[cool breeze]

green team is juicing.  pink team

[Madrun Badrun]

I'm thinking metro and tomb raider and maybe outlast.

metal gear and transformers are still too much. 

[cool breeze]

I thought about metro last light too, but they just announced that redux thing.  might as well wait for that.

[Madrun Badrun]

o ya, forgot about that.

[Huff]

is the wolf amoung us any good? or even finished?

[Rufus]

Episodes 4 of 5 are out. No idea about its quality.

[Purple Filth]

50% off rising

Episodes 4 of 5 are out. No idea about its quality.

i don't think 5 is out yet.

[Rufus]

We're in agreement there.

[benjipwns]

I thought about metro last light too, but they just announced that redux thing.  might as well wait for that.

If you own either of the Metro games on Steam you can get 50% off the Redux versions. Saves like seven bux on 2033 and five on Last Light. (If you want it at launch or nearby instead of waiting for sale on it.)

[Rufus]

Is the market just backed up, or have my cards disappeared into the ether? Some say "listing created" in the history, without a buyer or sell price, but they're not in my active listing. D:
edit: Never mind, it's indeed just backed up. They just took several hours to show up.

[Madrun Badrun]

Got Outlast; 10 mins in I dropped my controller out of fright

Looks like it will be a good game.

[thisismyusername]

Get it so you get a discount on Redux.

-50% on launch. 

[Madrun Badrun]

Launch of a game that already launched a year ago. 

[Joe Molotov]

Metro Last Light Redux doesn't really seem worth it. With 2033 Redux, it's getting upgraded to the newer version of the engine they used for LL, so that might be kinda worth it, but the improvements to LL are a bit more subtle. I mean, from the description you're basically getting:

Fans of the original game will notice new features and gameplay improvements, including new melee animations, the ability to check your watch and ammo supplies on the fly, and new full-body player animations.

You want me to pay $12.50 for this?

[benjipwns]

I'm incredibly dumb at buying DLC. 80% off? 90% off? GET IN MY CART.

Hey, have I finished or even started the base game yet? NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

[Brehvolution]

Anyone in the Planetary Annihilation early access? Would you recommend it?

[Purple Filth]

transistor 25% off

 

[Takuan]

Man, I fucked up buying Battleblock from the daily sale. Castle Crashers + Battleblock for $2.xx bundle is craycray.



Still have hope for a good sale on Dark Souls 2.

[Trent Dole]

How much is it per duder? Think it's 3.74 for one copy right now.

[Takuan]

How much is it per duder? Think it's 3.74 for one copy right now.

Battleblock is $3.74 alone, but if you buy the publisher bundle (comes with BBT & CC), it's only $2.49. I thought I was being smart by buying BBT at $3.74 and waiting for the 90% off sale on CC.

Gabe proved me STUPID.

CC bundle is $1.13 per duder, if that's what you were asking.

[Beezy]

Man, I fucked up buying Battleblock from the daily sale. Castle Crashers + Battleblock for $2.xx bundle is craycray.

Wow, I almost bought it too. Gonna jump on CC+BB for $2.49 instead.

[benjipwns]

What a weird way to do that sale. Maybe the bundle isn't supposed to be discounted? It wasn't when BattleBlock was up.

[Stoney Mason]

Bought the bundle for myself and also gifted a copy to a friend. Also gifted awesomenauts.

That's the only moba again along with monday night combat, I've ever liked.

Ah, I got the two pack for 2.49. Somebody's been hounding me to get CC to play it with them on steam. I already own it on 360.

[Positive Touch]

is outlast genuine good survival horror, or is it crappy american gore & zombies -type horror? please answer quickly as i am very bored right now and in desperate need of quality gaming

[Human Snorenado]

Haven't bought shit yet, sold a bunch of cards and a booster pack tho #winning

[Bebpo]

It's linear horror made for cheap scares.  I played like 45 mins and it was fine, but a lot of people dislike it.  Enemies teleport and defy game logic just to BOO scare you.

[Positive Touch]

:| god DAMMIT i wish old, good survival horror wasnt so damn expensive

thx for that tho

[Stoney Mason]

Good deal on blacklist. I really liked that game.

[Purple Filth]

[jakefromstatefarm]

Age of Wonders III Daily Deal  what I've been waiting for

[etiolate]

Kentucky Route Zero is what I've been waiting for, but not sure if I should wait to see if its a daily deal later.

[Madrun Badrun]

Kind of want splinter cell because I haven played one since double agent.  Conviction is 11 bucks though.  wtf.

[Great Rumbler]

It's not likely to be an cheaper than it is now.

[Stoney Mason]

Don't waste your time on conviction. Blacklist is a better version of the direction conviction took the series.

[Rahxephon91]

Would they just put RE4 on sale already. God!

[Madrun Badrun]

OK.  does story matter?  DLC?

O dlc is just items,  lame

I never played the DLC for blacklist so I don't know if its worth it or what it is. But it looks like the deluxe edition is only $2.50 more than the standard edition which is at 7.49.

As far as story Blacklist is a continuation of conviction but everything is self contained enough that it doesn't really matter. You aren't missing a great story from conviction.

Both games are very different gameplay wise from the early splinter cell games but I think blacklist justifies itself where as conviction doesn't.

[Sho Nuff]

If I thought Chaos Theory was a 10 and Conviction was a 4, what's Blacklist?

[Bebpo]

Kind of want splinter cell because I haven played one since double agent.  Conviction is 11 bucks though.  wtf.

Don't waste your time on conviction. Blacklist is a better version of the direction conviction took the series.

Yeah, I played all the SC games and enjoyed them all even with their flaws until Conviction came out and the demo really soured me.  Never played Conviction and bailed on the series, but everyone says Blacklist is SC back on track so I'm gonna give that one a shot.  Still kind of sour that Conviction-homeless-fighter-edition never saw the light of day...

[MyNameIsMethodis]

everyone says blacklist is amazing because you have multiple awys to clear a level like alpha protocal

[Rufus]

As far as combat goes, but not as much in level design. I feel Deus Ex: Human Revolution has it well beat there.
