Steam Summer Sales 2014 |OT2| The valiant never taste of death but once

Status
Not open for further replies.
How is They Breathe?

I went blindly due to price and a GAFer recommendation.

One of the devs stopped by and gave out a bunch of keys on Steam and Indie gaf a while back.

I thought it was pretty neat. There is no tutorial, you just jump off of a log and go. The mechanics will become clear very early on and the game builds from there.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
If Arcade - Retro wins, as it should, then everybody should buy Double Dragon Neon for 2,50.
Everybody.

Incredible beat 'em up with an amazing soundtrack. Heck, the credits alone are allready worth your moolah.
The gameplay certainly needs some getting used to, but once it does.. Oh boy! You'll roll past almost everything, spinkick like Van Damme and feel a non-mediocre kind of awesome. I had to restart the first level like five times when I first started, but eventually finished the game on Double Dragon difficulty. And i'm sure to double-dip if it hits the steamsales, maybe finally try out some bro-op.

Seriously, it's bro-tastic!
Go get it.

I've vowed not to spend over $4.99 on anything in the store.

Thus far, I've spent $4.99 on Dark Souls: PtD and $2.49 on MtG: Duels 2014

So far, so good!

Bought Arma 3. For $30, I can't really be mad since that'll probably be the cheapest it'll be for a while since Early Access.

(And plus I kinda wasted that much on DayZ when Breaking Point, the wholesale rip-off of DayZ mod ported to Arma 3 and kinda does things better, apparently so let's see)

Was about to buy Lego HP 1&2, Lego LotR, Lego Batman 2 and Lego Marvel.
Asked myself whether I was crazy.
Bought Lego LotR. The rest will follow at a later point.

nobody wants Storm over the Pacific? Well, that's a new game so I can't say how good or bad it is, but it's disturbing.
In case someone wants it PM to ModBot

Storm over the Pacific -- MB-BBF003C4C9F62F4F

Since I raffled this is a mystery game before, and the winner already owned it I'll run another raffle. Good luck, Surgeon Simulator is good fun.

I'm down to $5 out of the $50 card I started the sale with. I tell myself every time a sale comes around that I'm going to have more control and it doesn't happen. I started out so well too. :'(

Arma 3 will bring many years of
glitchy half-assed mod
joy.
And yes, Breaking Point is currently MUCH better than DayZ standalone.
 
I've heard good things about To the Moon. What type of game is it mechanically?

Almost like a visual novel that plays like a 16 bit adventure game. There isn't a lot of interaction. Basically walking around and talking to people while interacting with very few objects. But the story is amazing.

From what I've played, it's just top-down story game where you're tasked with finding information about the patient in order to discover what's happened to him.

[edit] Beaten and with way better and more concise descriptions. lol
 
lack of giveaways today is disturbing

This is true. To fix this I'm going to give away some RTS games
best genre
including Age of Mythology, because a lot of my steam friends have it on their wishlist. To keep things suspenseful I'm putting a 24 hour raffle on this and keeping it open only to MEGAGIVERS.

Steam question not sale.

So the recent beta allows you to choose the drive to pre-load to. Any chance there will also be a change to remote downloading to a specific drive?

So I just realized that by continuing to add more and more M&M money, I'm gonna keep myself out of being able to use the Market until after it ends. I still haven't crafted a Summer badge as of yet because the prices were still pretty high and the cards won't be around after this sale ends so...

With that said, I might need someone on the last day or two to help me with getting the cards. Would anyone possibly be interested in doing a trade of cards 1-10 for a game of equal value on the last day? If you are, hit me up here or on Steam so we could work something out early next week.
