Steam Summer Sale 2014

[Vendel]

Papers Please & Game Dev Tycoon.

 

[Hisako]

Most games on Steam Sales I would want on sale I mostly already have, and everything else I just don't really care very much about.

Pretty easy to ignore all of it the less money you earn, I guess

If there's the rare soul that hasn't played Skyrim yet, it's on sale now for €3,74. Dragon Age for €5, but TBH Skyrim >>>>>>>>>> DA. Now in price, too.

You're funny

 

[Carlos]

just bought arkham origins. so excite

 

[Keveh Kins]

Picked up Game Dev Tycoon, it's fun and I really dig the references and spoofs of the industry and whatnot

 

[Ami]

EXCELLENT CHOICES

I find that DA on PC plays really differently from the console version, though it's still fun. Skyrim lets me use a controller, so

Can you let me know what the method is re: the controller?

Out of all the games I bought so far (about 3ish?), that's the one I've played the most . It's strangely addictive. Farthest I got was year 8 and then some I think, so far. Need moar hints from previous playthroughs!

alternatively I should just google around and read some guides on how not to be an idiot.

I hate that you can't pull the camera out in the console version.

And Elder Scrolls belongs with a mouse and keyboard, heathen. (But get the SkyUI mod to replace the godawful inventory menu)

I made it to year 22, before going bankrupt after a string of so-so sequels and a moderately well received MMO

...

I am the Square Enix of the Game Dev universe...

'Cept they haven't gone bankrupt...yet

I've got a wired xbox controller, so I just plug it into a usb port and I'm off!

This.

Honestly...me, too. =/

Hey I started playing it right when I got into pc gaming and couldn't mouse and keyboard ;.; also I would love a link because dear god the inventory management IS awful SCROLLING FOREVER

Footnote: reasons why I shouldn't be allowed to play games
-starts skyrim
-gets to the first town (I forget the name, the one with the mill)
-goes exploring, does barrow, runs around screaming because can't find weapon after it's shouted out of hand
-gets to whiterun
-proceeds to spend rest of game grinding for smithing/alchemy/enchanting to create uber gear, never does any story quests

Meh, me no have one. I have a PS3 and PS4 controller, though. Pretty sure I can get my PS4 one to work since Sony said prior to it coming out that it'd work with PC games.

Minus the losing weapon part, this has been me for the past five playthroughs.

You should play eve, do mining / industry,

@thread, bought Revengeance for €10, not disappointed. Although I need some time to stop flailing / button mashing and actually aim / strategize, . Finally beat the first serious boss (that Wolf dude). I should also remember that when big japanese characters appear, it's time to press shift and cut the shit out of shit. Did not do with that boss, mildly disappointed.

 

[Hisako]

That Revengeance deal actually sounds kinda good, I'll check it out later tonight I think

 

[Abortedj]

Thus far I am a little disappointed with this sale. I know part of it is the lack of releases I am really excited for. Still, just isn't "wowing" me the way previous sales have.

Here is SkyUI. It's almost hard to explain how much this improves the game. Inventory, Magic, and shops all now work on a searchable, sortable, itunes-style menu.

Also, this is a much improved Favorites menu.


EDIT: Oh, and while I'm at it, you might as well use Immersive Armors and Immersive Weapons. Subtle mods that fit in so well I have a hard time remembering which armors are original and which are new, but it makes for way more variety.

 

[Interslicery]

Also, you can browse the steam workshop for skyrim mods. Just click and it'll automatically add them to your game next time you boot it up. Pretty sure skyui is on there, but I haven't played skyrim in over a year so I cant remember

 

[Hisako]

MARLOW BRIGGS AND THE MASK OF DEATH for one dollar

THAT'S MY STEAM SUMMER SALE INVESTMENT FOR THIS YEAR

 

[Joker]

you will all vote for transistor AND YOU WILL LIKE IT

BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE IT FOR LESS THAN FULL PRICE

This works great. You can also use it to change the color of the lightbar :3

 

[Obsidian Fire]

Okay... fine...

*grabs Borderlands 2 GPTY edition*

 

[Cthulhu]

I bought that last year I think, didn't get very far comparatively. Also because the weapons you get are random and you may end up with shit ones so the game becomes comparatively difficult, . OH NOES CHALLENGE .

 

[Cthulhu]

Spoiler: doing it right

 

[Abortedj]

Last 6 votes the opposite of what I was hoping for. Damn. Bad luck.

 

[Vendel]

Banished and FTL added to the mix.

 

[Claymore]

Banished and FTL added to the mix.

FTL is one of my favourite games ever. Deceptively simple but with a continual growth of complexity as you are forced to make the tough choices between exploration, getting to the next sector, and whether to horde resources for something better later down the line or spend it now in order to strengthen your chances for survival. And this is all made the more interesting since every game is different.

I absolutely love it. Really recommend it to anyone who likes space strategy games.
