I think you got some issues if you are thinking “fuck my parents” when making a recreational purchase rather than “this looks like fun and I think I will enjoy playing it”.
Just my two cents though.
Well shit…
Who’s all playing Path of Exile?
I’m on Domination League as a sword/crit Duelist in Act 2 Merciless. I got 2 Standard League characters as well, my Marauder is about to kill Vaal in Act 2 Merciless. :tup:
Add me if you want, character name is “Abid_”
I only bought Contagion when it was $3.75. Pretty fun game, even in early beta.
Hopefully Assassin’s Creed 4 goes on sale during the winter sale.
Sup, my nigga homosexuAlex!
[details=Spoiler]What you think I won’t look in here? I never been in here?
I actually wasn’t planning on looking at the last page, damn unloaded SRK new error seeing your post topping the page and not collapsing it for me, and no other posts loaded.[/details]
Today’s stuff ending on Amazon - ends midnight PST? I still got these 2 before 9 PM just in case.
Sine Mora was $2.50, $3.39 on Steam
Sonic All-Star Racing Transformed $4.99, $9.99 on Steam
Sanctum 2 DLC season pass was a good deal on a good game.
Borderlands 2 GOTY $29.99 is an even better deal than the Season pass @ $20 if you already have the game as it has one or two more things, including one of the characters I think which is $6.66 or something even on sale - on its own not included in the season pass.
I just bought the DLC I wanted even if it came up to about $19 for less stuff. Then bought the new Turkey Headhunter thing for 2 friends.
Wanted that indie game seeing it in a search, To The Moon. But too many purchases, it can wait. Sine Mora was a complete impulse buy, scrolling a cheapassgamer document list and seeing that good game among all the Nancy Drew and Mahjonng matching games almost giving up on that list.
From RockB’s topic at the very end. The dates could be wrong on some expiration dates, like STREKKEN is still $7.50, buy that Sagat naked with a speedo thong DLC outfit for a Quarter, my dude Louise. :smokin:
In fact KOF13 is $15 again on Steam.
I need a copy of L4D2 for like $5, hope the sale is good tomorrow
otherwise if somebody has an extra copy they want to trade away let me know, I have some stuff in my inventory I can trade
I bought nothing, my friend bought me secret of the magic crystal, then he spent $5 sending joke gifts to my friend.
It was made even more sweet because he was working late (it’s ok he works at M$, nothing of value was lost).
If anything steam sales just reinforce in my mind how trash steam is these days, games with borderline functionality get onto it from AAA publishers and people worship Valve endlessly. The system is buggy, janky, and downright atrocious, the only good thing is the freedom devs have so mikeZ gets to post daily patches with notes.
Also digital titles that degrade in cost should be a necessity, fuck shit like PSN or XBL which will charge you $15 for DLC for a game that’s $5 in a bargain bin.
I bought only one game during this sale on Steam and that was Guncraft. The sale itself wasn´t bad actually, just I have plenty games, so not much to buy.
Also these Indiebundles are giving plenty games and even games on Greenlight are there(Cheap way to get a lot of games), so buying something on Steam isn´t always the best way, but still much cheaper than on XBL for example.
EDIT:I just realized that I received a key for a indie game called Gimbal, also for Survivor Squad. Anyone interested btw?
Bought Bioshock 1, 2, and Infinite for $15 on amazon which IMO is a way better deal than anything on this sub par Black Friday steam sale.
Could you be more specific? I don’t know what you’re referring to.
It depends. Some people make frivolous purchases cause their parents were rich and didn’t teach them the value of money. It’s also human nature: if nothing else the prohibition era shows that people will pay anything and go through any length to get their buzz on.
I think also has a lot to do with the growth of consumerism since the babyboomer era. When our parents were young, so was the art of marketing bigger and better appliances. Today everything has expanded - it’s not enough to have a nice car and a nice house and a toaster so the wife can make you a sammich on demand… we have dozens of categories of electronic devices constantly making eachother obsolete which we’re supposed to keep up with.
We were probably the first generation to have consumerism instilled in use from a young age - we HAD to have a nintendo, and then a few years later we HAD to have a super nintendo, and we HAD to have all the cool games. Now as adults, we’re ripe to take that kind of approach to all sorts of electronics. Meanwhile, today kids are growing up with their own smartphones and laptops, they’re only going to be worse when they grow up…they won’t be able to tie their shoes without making a microtransaction on an app to tell them how, or find their way out of a paper bag without the latest, greatest GPS.
That’s more an issue with gaming at large. Most Steam games suck because most games suck - in terms of AAA it’s all the same crap you find on consoles. Yes, occasionally you have bugs, but that’s always been the case in PC games, and unfinished shit has been crapped onto console for years (take the pop-in textures in Halo 2 for instance, or the ENTIRITY of the original Killzone on PS2). As always, you just have to be a smart purchaser and buy games you know you will enjoy.
In the end, the game market is still better for it - in the old days you could only get certain AAA stuff on each console and certain stuff on PC (basically RTS and FPS). Today 90% of AAA is on PC, Sony, and MS consoles, you have hundreds of indie games to choose from, and when Capcom refuses to make any Megaman games, the lead Megaman guy leaves and gets his own funding on Kickstarter.
Yeah, you still have bad games and shit like Ubisoft games with totally disfunctional sign-ins or save functions, but you don’t blame Steam for that, you blame Ubisoft. Your mentality is like saying “brick and mortar stores are HORRIBLE because sometimes stuff is on the wrong shelf and I bought this cheap feather duster and it broke”.
Regardless of whether you buy physical or digital sometimes you will have to ask an employee for help and if you shop retarded you will get retarded products, that’s just the way it is.
That’s actually a boon to Steam over console digital sales, cause Steam games and DLC go down in price as they get older.
interesting.
while playing Sleeping Dogs…I noticed you can grab pedestrians like you would enemies…
I noticed this after going to the massage parlor and being, thoroughly dissatisfied with the experience.
so I grabbed this girl I liked that was standing in line somewhere…put her in the trunk of my car, drove her to my place, grabbed her again, and proceeded to carry her all the way up to my apartment. the door to my place wouldn’t open while grab holding her so I had to momentarily let her go.
opened the door and re-grabbed her ass, all the while she kept saying “just finish me already, have mercy.”
got her into the apartment…haha, then I realized you cant really grab anymore. just push. so I pushed her into my bathroom, and locked her in and went to bed.
Today was a good day.
tomorrow i’ll try again and this time i’ll see if its possible to judo throw her onto the bed and lay down next to her.
Got dat Earthworm Jim Collection. Now I can finally play the level that was cut in the SNES version. Best purchase ever. Also got everything Tomb Raider on Steam for $22. Now I wait patiently for the Christmas sale.
You don’t need Sleeping Dogs to do that.
It’s amazing, one of the best multiplayer games I’ve ever played. It reminds me of ST insofar as it’s very easy to get into, but it’s a very deep and rewarding game once you get your feet wet and there are no comeback mechanics, on the contrary like ST it rewards the better players. It emphasizes reflexes, yomi, spacing, zoning, timing, and feels much closer to a fighting game than anything else minus the teamwork aspect which is super important. Also it’s an incredibly well balanced game here is the tier list:
Staying alive is the golden rule because if you don’t get killed the enemy team has less money to spend on upgrades.
The new 3rd person MOBA in the vein of Forge and Archeblade looks pretty awesome.
It’s got swordplay, archery, and magic spells typical of RPG’s including fireballs, ice/thunder balls, healing etc.
Built by just 2 people over 6 months…
lol
I actually play ps3 version on stick the fighting is trong in this one I can vouch
^ I streamed some of dat Path of Exile. Check it out dudes, this game is great. Dat action. :tup:
@ShaftAgent That mod reminds me of Ultimate Super Doom 3 MOD. I streamed that, too. http://www.twitch.tv/sonicabid/b/451537645
Now an AAA game is regarded as something where hundreds or even thousand of staff participate in production, while millions of money are spent on its development.
in previous years an AAA game would be something where up to 40-50 people participated. this allowed for better quality control of the game instead of a bloated mess most games end up to.
hence why a game like Europa Universalis should be considered an AAA game really.
Game has very good quality and tutorials. though it doesnt share many things with Puzzle Fighter. thanks for mentioning it
