It's more fun than Diablo III, tho.

And better than Diablo II too.

Van Helsing is one of the most overrated games I've bought because of GAF hype.
fun for the first hour then...oh god, no....just no.

You have to use the theory of the rising tide of GAF hype.

If a highly anticipated game releases in a genre (Action RPG) that makes a vocal minority disappointed (Diablo 3) then they will hype up shitty games (Van Helsing, Krater, Torchlight 2) in order to make up for their disappointment with the aforementioned anticipated game.

I avoided all of those crappy aRPGs based on this theory and have had my theory proven right.

 

[Deitus]

Thinking of getting Typing of the Dead. Is it worth it to get the DLC though?

 

[Shepard]

Real time with Pause:

• Aarklash Legacy
• Torchlight 1 + 2
• The Adventures of Van Helsing 1 + 2
• Krater
• Forced

Turn Based:

• Blackguards
• Shadow Run Returns + DLC
• Expedition Conquistidors
• Winter Voices

Hey, thanks a lot. Never heard of Aarklash before, looks quiite nice

 

[Skab]

Have they ever done more than one day of encore deals? Usually always just the final day of the sale, right?

 

[DrEvil]

I'm not really sure what Valve could really do at this point to continually make their sales as good as previous ones. I'm sure this has been said countless times but the rate new games come out and the rate people buy games on sale don't equate. I agree they could throw in some more obscure games in there but they're obscure for a reason (i.e. they don't sell well).

More series packs or similar bundles. All the gtas thus far for 7 bucks or whatever was great.

Do some more bundle sales (kerbal + space engineers + FTL) to help spur exploration into different genres etc.

 

[Shadownet]

I want to buy Alan Wake but would have to wait until morning after the sale. bummed

why??

 

[NightmareTrigger]

Thanks Mokoi for the Trade, BTW.

If anyone else needs some of my Summer cards let me know.

usually sales appear more than once during the same sale, but the last day is a good bet if you are holding out for further discounts

I am locked from the market and need 3 <3

 

[Blue-kun]

Now that's a lot of new friends right off the bat, haha.

The DLC is Shakespeare and Forums.

Yes.

 

[D4rth Man7iz]

Need an invite to the Gaf Steam group as well.

Thanks!

 

[Salsa]

Still waiting for Shovel Knight to go on sale.

still waiting? game's been out for a day

 

[Wookieomg]

Is there a healthy amount of Gaffers that play Payday 2? I own the game but don't own any of the DLC... Wondering if the various packs are worth picking up to play with you guys.

I agree they could throw in some more obscure games in there but they're obscure for a reason (i.e. they don't sell well).

There are dozens if not hundreds of games that don't sell well because they do not get presented. Either the dev has no money to market or Valve chooses not to promote them on the front page during sale time.

If they made it to the front page, they'd sell.

OOTP15, Unity of Command, Panzer Corps are just a few that come right to the top of my mind... great games that aren't promoted.

Are they obscure because they don't sell well or do they not sell well because they're obscure?

As for the sale itself, for new users it's as good as it has ever been. And I've got a ton of games and still find new and interesting things daily. 95% I'll never play but when has Steam sale ever been about playing anything.

 

[KevMan1815]

Yeah... And we are STILL waiting!

 

[nexen]

Not Diablo 3 2.0, no way

 

[marrec]

There ya go.

 

[Deitus]

The DLC is Shakespeare and Forums.

Yes.

What do you mean Forums?

 

[iosefe]

Since everyone's posting their links http://steamcommunity.com/id/unclebiz (i have no friends)

Fave game but no progress?

 

[Salsa]

i'll start playing again if more people here do

but we should play strike vector first

 

[Chance Hale]

There ya go.

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it!

I can always take donation. too bad cards cant pay for college tuition!

 

[RunWhiteBoyRun]

Posted earlier, reposting now. Whats the best value double pack on Steam right now? If I wanted to buy a copy, and gift a copy.

 

[marrec]

Not Diablo 3 2.0, no way

Diablo 3 + DLC is unbeatable from a Diablo-like Standpoint.

 

[yGray]

why??

Something wrong with my card so I have to go to the bank in the morning.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

What do you mean Forums?

I mean it's a bunch of Shit Talk and Leet.

 

[rrs]

My haul so far:

• Euro Truck Simulator 2

Great game, grab promods for a large map expansion at SCS quality.

 

[Turfster]

Not Diablo 3 2.0, no way

Wouldn't know about that.
Played D3 when it came out on a friend's account, was not impressed.

 

[UncleBiz]

It's so good I want to save it for later

ThisisNeoGAF

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

So, is there any sort of real point to this game? Or is it just "see how long your town survives without dying"?

 

[iosefe]

if i win more candy cash, i'll buy it.

 

[Shadownet]

I can help you buy whatever you need. you can just pay me back later if you like. Dont mind helping a GAF out.

I used to play it all the time. Loved it. Not sure why I stopped in the first place, but doing stealth runs co-op was a blast. Framing Frame final stage was always a good time.

 

[Salsa]

it's basically the answer to people who like town building in RTS games but get annoyed when someone attacks them

 

[Shadownet]

I ask this before but no luck. anyone wanna split a Payday 2 (4 packs)?

 

[WhiskeyDiver]

Natalie Dormers?

When she takes off her top, is her catch phrase, "Who wants pancakes?!"

Cause that's kinda what they look like.

Picked up Payday 2. It's pretty good fun. The AI can be really really dumb at times, such as a cop crouching in a corner on file cabinets doing nothing but pointing his gun and staring at me for 5 minutes straight.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

I mean, no biggie, but I like my games to still be games.

 

[zulfate]

oh yes thanks steam just grabbed total war rome 2 for $20, cant wait to sink my teeth into it.

 

[DogMeat77]

I believe there are quite a few and probably even more so after the sale. THe good thing is that you don't need the DLC as long as someone in the group has it.

 

[Jawmuncher]

It would be cool if steam showcased smaller games more often.
Kind of tired of seeing the same games every sale from the big publishers.

 

[Turfster]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Rebuilt server RAID5, found bad sectors on one of the other drives too.
Sigh. I'm not going to get to go to sleep early, am I?

We used to get the indies in the metagame sales, but SAM ruined that for all of us.

 

[Mono]

Free Rocket League, everyone!

 

[MMBosstones86]

I mean, no biggie, but I like my games to still be games.

not having an objective other than 'dont die' means it's not a game?

 

[yGray]

I can help you buy whatever you need. you can just pay me back later if you like. Dont mind helping a GAF out.

Really cool of you but it's probably a sign not to buy it.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

They have showcased them in the choices, but the overall community basically says "lol indie games" and votes for Skyrim.

 

[denx]

For Autumn and Winter seal Valve should do either games bundles and feature them in the storefront or expand the number of games featured on flash and community sales, or both.
