Shadow of Mordor for €19.99? Hmm....

Not all discounts show up straight away due to the load on the system. Give it an hour or two.

Inviere

Yup, later so

Balmed Out

The witcher two good,?

Moon54

Final Fantasy games are only 50% off, disappointing.

ShaShaBear

I just took a quick peek - assuming it hasn't recovered from the masses checking the sales yet, as it's giving me the full normal price for almost everything on the home screen :P

It's funny, it took me a few tries for it to click but when it did I loved it.

Make sure to download the official combat rebalance.

I think it buggers up the game a bit if you start the game, install the mod and then go back to the game so make sure to install it before you start.

That changed how I looked at the game. The combat went from a chore to being worthwhile.

Grahamer666

Nothing much i'd be bothered with so far. Will try again later.

Tinie

I feel sorry for poeple who only got into pc gaming the last couple of years. The sale hasn't been good since like 2013.

That's good to know - I might give it another try then. Thanks

It's all about the story.
The overall arc isn't maybe that brilliant but the individual quests are top quality. Looks great, wonderful characters.

The combat used to get in the way.
Now it's an accompaniment.

€1.49 for Portal 2 if you already own Portal 1 with this bundle;

That's a great deal.

Edit:
Also €1.49 for either Left 4 Dead game if you already own one with this bundle;

The portal bundle is only €2.23 if you don't own Portal 1.

No way, don't get that.

It just changes priorities and affinity in task manager.
You can do that yourself for free.

Excellent arpg with insane class build system.

Grahamer666

That'll do. Really disappointing sale. Won't be getting anything else on it.

EoinHef

Elite Dangerous Horizons season pass is down to €12.50

+1 for Grim Dawn,mate is picking it up in sale so looking forward to a bit of co op

ShadowHearth

Got Southpark just now.


Anyone knows if pc HD remake of RE4 is any good and playable with keyboard and mouse?

Only played it very little before and never understood whats the fuss about. Might give it a go.

"79 items from your Steam wishlist are on sale!"

Oh dear.. :eek:

A few things i'll probably pick up. Baldurs Gate Enhanced series, for the ease of having it on Steam. Final Fantasy X, Walking Dead 3, and maybe Everspace.

We just think that because we've already bought all the games that are on sale

ElNino

Valve Complete Bundle is 91% off at €17.17. Anyone know how playable the Half Life games are on Windows 10?

Fine I have been playing HL1/2 and the mod that i cant remember the name off.


Odd tho the loading screens are not quicker, I assumed they would be.

Mr Crispy

For anyone tempted by Mad Max at €7.99, it's €5 on Bundle Stars. Use the code red5 to get another 5% off.

Gunmonkey

Grabbed Doom so far, €15 is too low a price to pass on.

Sofiztikated

Stuck on a stupid card drop thing.

View Friends Activity page. I've gone into everything I can see, and no drop.

Mr Crispy

Happens a lot. You should get them eventually.

Yeah, it's not well explained, you have to do your discovery queue twice to get the second card drop.

Yeah, did that too. Says I've one drop remaining, which is the view friend activity.

Not seeing much that I want to get. Maybe the REmaster for nostalgia sake.

Not sure weather it was steam being derpy earlier or it was my mistake but the season pass is actually €16.74 not €12.50,which is not as low as i had hoped.

Bought it anyway. Not much else grabbed my attention so that might be all my business done early this sale. Unless a hidden gem pops.

Sephiroth_dude

Feck all off the trails games feck sake

Nice one! That Worked!

Moon54

FYI, the Hidden Gems thread on Reddit is well worth a look;
https://redd.it/6iw1co

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Game of the Year Edition - €3.99
Transistor - €2.84
Divinity Anthology - €2.99

Skerries

a good list here

CruelCoin

What is this sticker thing? When did the playerbase morph into pumpkin latte 15 years olds?

Ivefoundgod

Pretty underwhelmed with it though I don't know if thats just cos i've become fairly apathetic to most games these days. Last game I really enjoyed was Horizon Zero Dawn. I've only recently got a capable gaming machine, is there any old games for cheap that anyone recommends? I've got the machine about 6 weeks and so far my game time has been dominated by Civ 5, Cities: Skylines, Hitman and a bit of GTA 5.

I've got €40 on my steam wallet so I'll have to spend it on something

Thinking of Dishonored 2 though I briefly played the first one and didn't think much of it, only for a few hours though so that could be why. Also looking at Virginia and maybe Asetto Corsa.

bigphil2

put ,owlboy,hollow knight and aragami down so far.

they were on my wantlist anyway so its good to save a few quid,
Whats the deal with the stickers? someone mentioned you can sell them?

Sorry now but im only back to steam after a 10 hiatus so ive no idea.

Mickeroo

Will there be new discounts this evening or is it pretty much just the same deals for the week now?

Think that's it. Steam sales have really lost their sense of occasion over the last few years, they're no more impressive than a Humble or GoG sale these day.

Same deals all week. Some publishers may give further discounts, but no guarantees.

Noxin

Day 1 is disappointing but I did get Portal 2 for 2 quid so can't go wrong there

Glebee

games can be got cheaper on other key sites these days that the steam sale unfortunatly really ihas become a a bit of a non event for me.. I cant recall teh last time I purchased direct from steam.. remember the good old days when you had to check steam at various times of the day (even in the middle of the night) when the new deals dropped..

EoinHef

The competition wasnt there for steam in the past,it is now. I dont think steam sales have got worse,the competition has just got better.

Also id much rather the refund system than daily deals that i have to check every 12 hours and have a chance of missing.

TerrorFirmer

The only thing I bought is 8-bit armies and I'm not even sure why as I've no idea when I'll even get a chance to play it!

scamalert

steam is a bit of a joke as described given competition, bought yesterday prison architect < not sure why even bothered game is a bit eye strain for 6e, since normal price is close to 30 which is a joke,but looked on likes of cdkeys.com and most games all year round can be gotten for original price since steam seems to take at least 30% cut , where on likes of cd keys game is for 5ver and many simillar ones, only exception is popular games or new releases.
