Cosmic Star Heroine might be the best new/original JRPG on Steam

Shadows of Adam is a great romp too

Xanadu Next gets a lot of love from people around here, but I can't say anything personally.

Other than that, you've got all the Final Fantasy ports. And the Trails in the Sky games, which I'm not a huge fan of, but a lot of people seem to be.

Cool thanks, I'll check those out.

 

[Freeman76]

Can you blame people? DayZ was a scam. It looks fairly similar to every other early access survival game too.

Use your brain and look at how many people have reviewed the game on steam, and how many have good things to say, before making yourself look like yet another internet fool with an agenda.

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

So any prices that show up are the prices for the entire sale?

At least on Steam, yes.

Not sure if the store is still having problems loading discounts though. Maybe.

 

[owasog]

currently on the fence waiting for steam to start working properly.

You really should wait. My first purchase is now... working.... working.... working.... for almost an hour now after I paid. It will probably time out with my money gone and no game, and then I can contact Steam Support once again. What a shitty store.

For metroidvania's, has anyone tried Ghost 1.0?

Ghost 1.0 is a pretty good metroidvania type of game, a definite recommendation from me.

 

[Azull]

Any amount of research into the game will quickly paint a different picture for most. I have yet to see anywhere that has negative things to say about the game, besides Steam reviews of course because they always find something to bitch about. The overall impressions for the game are very high.

If I remember correctly even the steam reviews are Mostly positive in the "Overall" and "Recent" categories. It's apparently a fun game guys, definitely no Day Z standalone as that was barely a game in the first place when it was released.

 

[Rhaknar]

whats is the good anime dungeon crawler that isnt Ray Gigant again?

Sword something?

edit: Ghost 1.0 is great

 

[Spwn]

How's Mortal Kombat XL if I only really play single player?

The campaign is not nearly as good as Mortal Kombat 9, but the living towers and the arcade mode give it a lot of meat around its bones. As well as the krypt - I enjoyed that a lot.

 

[oipic]

The Paradox site is slower than Steam so I can't check exactly what the CEO said but in a Tyranny update they are advertising they will revert their recent shameful price increase.

So hold off on buying Paradox stuff maybe.

Gosh, what a mess. They're unable to rollback their recent price changes until after the Steam sale, so the timing of this is likely to cause them further logistical problems on top of the hit to their reputation and whatever else.

I just came off the phone with Steam and they say we can't do the roll-back before the Summer Sale is over (otherwise it would mean we have to take all Paradox products off the summer sale) but it will be done right after. For anyone who bought any of the games during this time (including during the summer sale) we will try to refund (if possible in the Steam platform) or reimburse with games of a value exceeding the difference. If none of this is possible (I do not in detail know the limits to the Steam platform) we will internally calculate the difference in revenue before and after the price change, double the value, and donate the money to the UNHCR.

Stranger of the Sword City?

 

[GonzoCR]

So Dishonored 2 is at $20, pretty tempting. Already have it on PS4 but the loading times really kill the fun. Main hang-up is the performance for the PC version. I have a 970 and an i7-4770k. Should I even bother trying to see if it runs decently or is it that bad of a port?

 

[Mike Bison]

I got only one card from doing the quests.

 

[Rhaknar]

Stranger of the Sword City?

yes! thank you and your stupid carrot horn

Eschalon: Book 1 is free for anyone interested

old school rpg from 2007

oh wait it might have always been free lol

 

[Fancolors]

My haul

Xanadu Next, Hollow Knight, GIGA WRECKER, Danmaku Unlimited 3, OneShot, DarkMaus, THOTH, Rivals of Aether

 

[jrcbandit]

Is What Remains of Edith Finch worth it with just a 25% discount? Alternatively, I was thinking of Owlboy with a 33% discount. I also have both Disgaea games on my wishlist but I dunno if I would ever get around to playing those. Xanadu Next also caught my eye. Choices, choices was only planning to spend what's in my Steam wallet ($35)..

 

[Rhaknar]

Squarecells is 89cents.

89cents. For Squarecells.

 

[Wag]

I can't even search the store- I get no results.

 

[William Bonney]

Use your brain and look at how many people have reviewed the game on steam, and how many have good things to say, before making yourself look like yet another internet fool with an agenda.

So it's not just another unfinished survival game that found popularity?

 

[chrominance]

Gosh, what a mess. They're unable to rollback their recent price changes until after the Steam sale, so the timing of this is likely to cause them further logistical problems on top of the hit to their reputation and whatever else.

Well. That seems awfully convenient.

I mean, I don't think Paradox is actually up to nefarious ends here, but they're basically screwing themselves out of sales here while also screwing anyone who doesn't know about the price changes out of money that they may or may not get back sometime down the road.

 

[Spinky]

Picked up DMC 4 Special Edition + costume DLC so I don't have to look at Lady's inferior new design, Lovely Planet and Bioshock 1. Nothing too crazy, I just got Tekken 7 anyway.

 

[Hip Hop]

So it's not just another unfinished survival game that found popularity?

No

 

[Drazgul]

Mafia 3 run any better these days? Demo ran like poop for me

Last I heard, nope. I've personally resigned to waiting for some complete edition that should eventually get released after the last story dlc comes out next month(?).

 

[DassoBrother]

Any advice on deciding between Darkest Dungeon, OneShot, and Hollow Knight? I'm open to other suggestions as well.

I've bounced off of Hollow Knight. I know it's generally well liked and it did a good job replicating the storytelling of a Souls game but the gameplay never grabbed me. It was lacking the high highs and low lows of those games. I've stopped playing after about 10 hours and I can't see myself going back. Though I've heard there is a lot of game there if that's something you're looking for.

I haven't played a ton of DD either but it just got a big update and I'm looking to jump back in. They added a new difficulty level awhile ago that makes the game a bit easier so I've been thinking of jumping back in and trying to finish. I like that I can play on my MacBook or desktop, and the games have short, satisfying dungeons with turn-based combat. An unforgiving game where progress is slow but consistent.

 

[Ibuki]

I feel like Axiom Verge has been $10 during every sale for a long time.

Might be time to bite the bullet...

 

[Psychoward]

Is Dead State: Reanimated Edition worth 5 bucks?

 

[Lain]

Steam wiped my cart and the search isn't working. I don't remember all the names of the anime I had in the cart damn it! And Euphonium isn't purchasable anymore right now hmmm.

 

[Dance Inferno]

So Dishonored 2 is at $20, pretty tempting. Already have it on PS4 but the loading times really kill the fun. Main hang-up is the performance for the PC version. I have a 970 and an i7-4770k. Should I even bother trying to see if it runs decently or is it that bad of a port?

The game just received a patch a couple weeks ago. I can play it with zero slowdown on my RX 480 and an i5. Granted, I had to disable Windows Superfetch and also exit Chrome because I was apparently being CPU limited, but it runs very smoothly with no slowdown.

If you already have it on PS4 I'm not sure it's worth buying again, but in terms of technical performance I'm pretty happy with it.

 

[ExoSoul]

Asking again: how is dead cells?

Awesome

 

[TheJoRu]

Stardew Valley and Slime Rancher bought! €17,38 for both (with the Paypal discount), not bad at all!

 

[arts&crafts]

I quit! I cant do my queue it crashes

 

[Teggy]

I'd wait for $10 for Edith Finch. It's about the length of a movie and doesn't really have any replay value, so that seems about right.

 

[William Bonney]

No

Oh, so it's finished then?

Or it's not a survival game?

 

[texhnolyze]

How are the Dark Souls III DLCs? Why is the review mixed?

I'm not really into pvp in Souls games, would it be worth it for me to get the deluxe edition?

 

[TheChaos]

Any of those digital extras for Pillars of Eternity worth paying more for? Is the lore reading in depth? And does it complement the game well where it feels necessary?

Nope. However, If you can spare it, get the White March Expansion. Much better storyline and tons of cool abilities that make the game more fun.

 

[pantsattack]

What does the OP have to do with the sale? Tizzy, your heart may be in the right place, but that's a missed opportunity.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

First sale of the sale!

Summer Sale vindicated!

 

[gdt]

Having a hard time searching and stuff. Gonna start shopping later.

 

[Rhaknar]

Morrowind is actually 25% off, thats pretty surprising

 

[RionaaM]

Who needs DDOS when you have folks in this very thread actually attempting to buy things when the store is having serious problems loading most product pages

Hint: if a website is laggy, don't give it your credit card and expect things to go flawlessly.

Maybe if I give Valve enough money, Gabe will fix the servers. Anyway, gonna go press F5 for a while to see if they work now.

 

[GrinningColossus]

Home page says you can get 2 cards from the Discovery queue, the stickers page says 3. Which is correct?

 

[Vuze]

damn, steam queue just reminded me this... thing exists. Somehow totally suppressed its existance

 

[Paragon]

still can't get that paypal £5 offer. What's going on with that? keeps telling me i'm a loyal customer (what)

The Paypal deals were limited to around 5000 each (varied by region) so they've probably been used up now.

 

[Eggiem]

How are the Dark Souls III DLCs? Why is the review mixed?

I'm not really into pvp in Souls games, would it be worth it for me to get the deluxe edition?

Worth every cent. It's more of the same.

 

[Spinky]

I want to die.

 

[Arthea]

both Fairy Fencer games are 80% off, including the newest one, which is weird because its quite recent

it's the same game, only newer one is remake and has some extras

 

[InquisitorAles]

Jesus fucking christ people, why you're so desperately trying to buy everything right now? Prices will stay the same for next 2 weeks, why such hurry? Why you keep complaining about Steam getting hammered and continue to trying to add everything to your cart? Just relax and wait for few more hours, goddamit!

 

[Vuze]

Home page says you can get 2 cards from the Discovery queue, the stickers page says 3. Which is correct?

Discovery queue site also says "one more card" when you finished the first queue, so it's probably 2 this sale.

 

[jrcbandit]

I'd wait for $10 for Edith Finch. It's about the length of a movie and doesn't really have any replay value, so that seems about right.

Thanks, I had a feeling about that. Looks like I'll go with Owlboy and perhaps Disgaea 1 and Xanadu Next then..
