Games on SALE!
- Thread starter figmentPez
- Start date
Are you kidding? I hate playing team-base games with you.
I will be at Denver Comic Con all weekend.
Will that Steam summer sale effect ALL games or just some? Because I WANT Danganronpa...but not enough to spend 30 bucks if it can be cheaper. If it comes to it full price, because I need my visual novel murder mystery fix!

Lesse.. it came out in Jan 2015? It'll probably be on sale. Though it's not guaranteed... Rust never fucking goes on sale, for some reason.
If I can get my rig to run it and I'm not too busy being caretaker I'd give it a go
I'm 93.6% sure that it's down to the individual publisher/developer of each game to decide whether they want to discount their games, and by how much. Rockstar have been known to pull some unsavory shenanigans with their sales of GTA V.
Full disclosure, I am currently very addicted to Prison Architect, so my opinion will be somewhat biased.
It's a good game. If you like games where you build stuff, like Dwarf Fortress or Minecraft or Sim City, then this will be right up your alley. It's quite stable (I have never suffered a single crash), and the devs release regular updates that fix bugs and add new features. For example, I've complained about temperature bugs here before, where indoor temperatures would be either zero degrees or thousands of degrees. However, since the most recent update, this bug has yet to show up again, so I'm inclined to think it's fixed.
Granted, with each new update comes a handful of new bugs or quirks in the game. For example, a recent update added a hot water system. The problem was, the hot water pipes had a ludicrously short range, which meant that you had to install boilers every few steps. The devs took player feedback into account and later increased the range of hot water pipes, which meant a more reasonable number of boilers in your prison.
There is a rudimentary single-player campaign, but it only consists of five levels and basically serves as the tutorial. The meat of the game is building prisons and making them as efficient as possible.
All in all, I'm very happy with the game I bought.

Hah, heavy load has already brought down store.steampowered.com.
Some of the older/indie games on my WL are on a good sale, so I'll snag those today. Going to hold off outside of those, though, as I'm hoping to see a couple of the higher-priced games get a sale later on.
I have to wonder what the benefit is for Steam with those trading cards. I guess people sell them and Steam gets a tiny percentage of each of those sales. Is that enough to warrant it, though?

I honestly have no idea. It seems to me the kind of marketing gimmick that an unknown/unpopular service would need to drive enthusiasm/coax in the curious, but not the steam frickin sale.
And once again, the Assassin Creed games go on sale, but 1 & 2 remain at 50% off when at this point, they should be 75% off. Fuck off, Ubisoft. They're 10-year-old games. They're not worth $10 now.
Picking up these today:
Adventures of Pip
FF Type-0
Bard's Tale
I'm really tempted to snag Dynasty Warriors because it's like 60% off, but I'd rather wait and see if the Dragon Quest one goes on sale first.
Granted, Steam's running like garbage right now so I might have to wait until later.

I pirated the shit out of AC games, and am glad I did. GLAD I tell ya. Not because I liked the games, but because fuck Ubisoft.[DOUBLEPOST=1466702589,1466702532][/DOUBLEPOST]
If we ever stop playing Overwatch for even a moment.
Oh wait, I keep forgetting you don't have normal schedule constraints >_<
I own Symphonia on both GameCube (which I can still use on my Wii) and for PS3, I don't feel the need to get the crappy PC port.
It only launched not even half an hour ago. Server overload is par for the course early into every Steam sale.
