Any good metroidvanias that are not roguelike that are good? Can't stand roguelike games, want something like sotn. I did get hollow knight I think it's called and enjoyed that one. Dead cells is roguelike too isn't it?

 

[ShaggsMagoo]

Man, those drops on Nier and Trails the Third are incredibly disappointing. I was planning on grabbing both, but may have to settle for just one.

 

[Jeff Stephen]

How's Arkham Knight? It was borked at release, right? Better now?

$5 on Bundle Stars.

[properpropaganda]

Is there anyway to check what exactly is on sale?

 

[Wok]

If by DDOS you mean

There is this kind of inevitable DDOS.

But there was also a DDOS threat yesterday, so... maybe it is them.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

I've seen several people buy Abzu for $6. The deluxe edition is $5.61.

Just FYI

Alright here we go, I love these games:

Momodora IV
Axiom Verge (closer to Metroid)
Guacamelee

Yeah and its BS because Steam have always and will forever be under heavy load during sale.

Its just attention whoring.

 

[kionedrik]

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.

 

[RedlineRonin]

Yeah, I played it for a bit with a few friends. I liked it but they didn't so I never played it much.

It's hard but I don't think you need the extra stuff.

Is there matchmaking? My friends and I never game on the same schedules. It's a logistical nightmare. Matchmaking would be a must for me.

 

[axisofweevils]

Very slowly finished my steam queue and got a card woo.
What else do I need to do?

 

[Azull]

thinking of PBUG, but also factario as well? anyone want to help with the decision?

If you plan on playing PUBG by yourself, wait for a sale.

$30 is asking a bit too much for it, IMO.

Via Greenmangaming's newsletter you get a coupon via e-mail with a 27% discount on PBUG knocking it down to $21.99. It's really not a bad price.

 

[NESpowerhouse]

Goddammit, Steam, stop emptying my cart.

lol.

Like a guy telling people to come outside in the morning and watch him make the sun rise.

"Look! I made it rise! I can do it again tomorrow at the same time!"

$5 on Bundle Stars.

Oh awesome, thanks.

 

[ArjanN]

I have almost 30 items in my wishlist and I'd buy every single one that was discounted by 75% or more.

I bought 0 games.

So what you're saying is that your purchasing habits are totally illogical.

 

[Zojirushi]

Sigh too bad No Man's Sky never gets actually cheap on PC. I've seen physical PS4 go for as low as like 5€ or so....

 

[Eggiem]

But if you didnt subscribe to the newsletter beforehand, its to late, right?
Guess I have to wait for a sale. :/

 

[NoblesseOblige]

What do you mean? It's basically free. Just do what many did an play it then refund it when you're bored!

 

[Big Chief Crazy Cone]

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

 

[Tecnniqe]

Is there matchmaking? My friends and I never game on the same schedules. It's a logistical nightmare. Matchmaking would be a must for me.

IIRC there is a list with servers and filters.

Edit:

On your ship, click on the MULTIPLAYER console at bottom of your screen, aka southern end of the ship.

Browse MP games listed under MATCHMAKING tab left side.

Click the appropriate keyboard key/controller button to choose how to filter the game browser results. For example, if you're new, maybe filter out "medium" and "hard" difficulty games.

Join a game.
NOTE: The game does NOT offer an automated matchmaking function such as in the new Star Wars Battlefront.

In Helldivers, you join games manually via an MP game browser. Or you host a game and decide if you want to open it to everybody, or just to folks on your Steam friends list.

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.

 

[Necrovex]

Made my purchases:

Splinter Cell Blacklist

Dishonoured 2

Deus Ex Bundle (only $17, since I owned half the bundle already)

Mafia 3

Only $62 total, so this should cover me for a while.

Guacamelee!

 

[ParadigmGamer]

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

 

[gaiages]

Anyone play Helldivers?

I've been eyeing it for over a year.

Is it good? Steam reviews make it seem that way.

Do I need all the extra junk in the deluxe pack?

It's a fun game, but it's pretty hard. The people I played with... weren't the right type of people to play it with lolol

And no, not really. I didn't really use any of the DLC from the console Super Earth Edition, I'm guessing it's most of the same stuff.

Is there matchmaking? My friends and I never game on the same schedules. It's a logistical nightmare. Matchmaking would be a must for me.

Hmm... I didn't try it, but I think there is. But given the nature of the game and having to focus on teamwork... I don't know if that's the best game to match make in. Again, though, I didn't try it.

 

[fuzzyset]

Surprised people don't think PUBG is worth 30$.

 

[OnionPowder]

I think it is a DDOS.

unintentional DDOS most likely.

Surprised people don't think PUBG is worth 30$.

Best $30 i've ever spent on a brand new game.

 

[Father_Brain]

My haul - Stories Untold is the rare indie game I want enough to pay $5 for.

 

[Rhaknar]

so apparently, according to user reviews at least, Necropolis is abandoned? That sucks, it looks cool and had promise with some more fixes

 

[dreamfall]

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?

 

[gaiadyne]

Considering buying,

Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning - 4.99
Dishonered - 2.49
Monster Monpiece - 3.99
Shadow of Mordor Game of the Year - 3.99
Trillion God of Destruction - 4.49
Stories: Path of Destinies - 3.74
Ray Gigant - 4.49

I have around 5 dollars in my steam wallet so I can buy at least one... but I want to buy them all even though I know I shouldn't

 

[fantomena]

So far:

Little Nightmares
Outlast 2
What Happened to Edith Finch
Torment: Tides of Numenera

 

[GrinningColossus]

What's this " Get two free trading cards each day Just by exploring your Discovery Queue" business about? How long has that been there? Is this part of the effort to prevent garbage games with trading cards from making money or just Summer Sale trading cards?

 

[nextgeneration]

For metroidvania's, has anyone tried Ghost 1.0?

 

[RedlineRonin]

IIRC there is a list with servers and filters.

Edit:

It's a fun game, but it's pretty hard. The people I played with... weren't the right type of people to play it with lolol

Cooooool.

Unsold and de-wishlisted. Appreciate knowing that before buying.

Plenty of other stuff to peruse yet....

 

[Spinky]

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

Tons to do. But if you do want to play multiplayer online is generally smooth as eggs after the update, although it probably doesn't have the biggest playerbase anymore.

 

[Kalor]

Those are just summer sale trading cards.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Gave a really good thought about bying Dark Souls 3, but the fact that I can't get the DLCs and that I'm not very into long and hard games lately, I decided to pass it this time.

Just bought: South Park, Shadow of Mordor, Ori & the Blind Forest, Rise of the Tomb Raider and Hitman Season 1. All of them were sitting on my wishlist for way too long!

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I got Dead Cells, Hard West, Scanner Sombre and This War of Mine so far.
Still got like 20€ in my wallet, tempted to go for Sniper Elite 4. That looks like dumb fun but also like something that will be 9,99 in 2 months.

Anyone play Helldivers?

I've been eyeing it for over a year.

Is it good? Steam reviews make it seem that way.

Do I need all the extra junk in the deluxe pack?

It's good but I don't know how much fun it is without at least one buddy.

 

[Azull]

I believe so unfortunately, I thought you might have been subscribed beforehand. I would give you my code however the coupon is account bound.

Sorry about that .

so apparently, according to user reviews at least, Necropolis is abandoned? That sucks, it looks cool and had promise with some more fixes

Damn really? I still can't load anything on the steam store and I think I am gonna wait until tomorrow but I had that game on my wishlist. That really sucks if the game has been abandoned :\.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Surprised people don't think PUBG is worth 30$.

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

 

[Majukun]

currently on the fence waiting for steam to start working properly

interested in dead cells,watched someone playing it in a stream and seems like my kind of game.

 

[Kadin]

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

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.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

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

Yeah... I bought DayZ standalone after all the hype with the mod, thought I couldn't go wrong. It's probably the biggest trash I spent money on Steam, and that totally puts me away from buying other games of the genre.

[Compsiox]

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

It's obviously not. Cut it out. Being the #3 game on Steam for like the last month makes it quite clear.

 

[Zombie James]

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

 

[Mackenzie 92]

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

 

[Facism]

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