Steam General Thread

I've just bought stuff that isn't really that intensive. Like today I bought Xenonauts, Hyper Light Drifter, Sunless Sea, Shining Force and Shining Force 2.

Man tough choices.

• Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition
• Dragons Dogma: Dark Arisen, my PS Plus account is no longer active but have played before.
• Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas, tried 3 way back when on my bros 360 never got too far in it.
• Banner Saga
• People keep telling me to get the Nekopara V Ns
• And cheaper stuff like The Last Remnant, Magika 2, I want to try out the Ys games, and so many other stuff.

GAH why must I only have around 40$ to spend! My vid card is an old HD 6670 so I gotta watch what I buy too.

Get Banner Saga. It's amazing and the bundle for both is only 20 dollars.

Friendly reminder that you can get a good number of the Sonic games on sale in the Steam Sale for about $10 in the Humble Sonic Bundle.

So far, I've picked up The Age of Decadence (50% off, so $15). I'm not seeing anything else I really want so far.

Maybe I'll stumble on some other indie gem...who knows.

So, basically, if it's on sale at the moment that's the price it's going to remain at? You log in daily for new cards and new advertisements on the main menu?

Oh, I didn't know that that remake of Master of Orion came out!

Yeah, there's no daily sales or flash sales since they introduced refunds.

I bought XCOM 2 during a weekend sale before this. It was 33%, right now it's 40%.

I should have been patient.

I'm looking at The Solus Project. Looks interesting, and very polished for an Early Access title. Anybody here tried it out?

Not me, bruv.

Haven't bought anything yet. I'm not seeing anything that really sings to me.

When I looked through my Discovery Queue, finishing it didn't yield me any cards, yet the description counter went down (says I can only get one more card now). Anyone else having this issue?

Nope. I just checked to make sure and all three cards popped up when I finished the three Discovery queues. You best be contacting Steam customer services if they're jacking you out of cards that you should be getting.

If you are not level 5 you will not get any cards that way till you hit that level.

My haul:

• Cities Skylines
• the Park
• Borderlands: the Pre-Sequel

I may get like...one or two more games during this. I normally budget myself to like a hundred dollars during these.

Not seeing anything that interests me, Starbound isn't discounted yet and my budget is somewhat tight this time around.

There was supposedly a big patch on the way for Starbound meant to release close to the Summer Sale, but news died off. Oh, and it's still not out of the Early Access Phase, nor does it have much of an Endgame yet.

I'm not trying to discourage you, but.., just don't want you buying the game thinking its complete.

I'm waiting for a discount on Starbound honestly.

Also waiting for it to surpass Terraria.

So should I get Stardew Valley? As far as I can tell, this is the first time it's sold at a discount. From what I know about it, it's very similar in concept and execution to the Harvest Moon series, but I've never played any Harvest Moon title.

I wouldn't know - never played either, sorry.

My haul

• Aquaria
• Kero Blaster
• Hero Defense: Haunted Island
• Tabletop Simulator + Superfight DLC

We have a thread for that, I bet the regulars can tell you more!

Picked up Alice: Madness Returns, Knytt Underground, and Vector, and I'll be buying Hyper Light Drifter. I'm also considering Strider, Dark Souls, Dino Run DX, Refunct, Broforce, and Axiom Verge. Anyone want to talk me into/out of buying any those?

Strider' really good, but Dark Souls depends on which one you're talking about. The latter two have pretty solid ports but the first is awful. Or was, I'm not sure how it is several years down the road.

Yes, it's very good. There are one or two minor problems, but it's definitely worth the price. Especially considering it was made by one guy working by himself.
