Doubt you really played a game from ‘99

Hexen series
Lands of lore
Oddworld
Duke nukem 1,2 and 3
A lot of commodore 64 games I can't remember since I'm 35
Doom
Grim fandango
Lesuire suit Larry
Doom

I could go on.

I really wish KH was on steam

Just be glad it's on PC. I grabbed it during a SquareEnix Publisher sale on EGS, they're great ports.

 

[hidaaan]

I wish so too, but if they keep the same price policy as with FF7 Remake then honestly, they might as well skip it.

I mean look at it. How generous of them to offer it to us for 57€ instead of 80€....

SE did a publisher sale on Epic Games last month, it made the KH prices a lot more enticing.

 

[Vargavinter]

Should just lock this thread and repost it next year. Same old shit of missing the Flash Sale days.

I miss the old tf2 key trading shuffle to buy cheap games from other regions.

 

[Dr. Claus]

I bought it a few years ago because I was told in here how great it was.

It felt like a game from 1999.you get tossed into the game without any understanding about it. I remember the main city was a hell to find stuff in. A big ghost town with a few options in it.

Mobs respawn again and combat is very clunky.

You literally are told exactly what happens and are slowly eased into exploration. Talk to NPCs, start killing rats, bats, and doing smaller scale side quests. Slowly you move forward fighting bigger and tougher enemies.

If you struggled to understand what the game was telling you, then that is on *you* and your rather poor critical thinking skills. Not the game.

 

[VN1X]

I'm just not a fan of the discovery. I want to just see a list on the front store to see if there's something exciting.

So I guess literally any other game client than steam is for me,since steam is the only one hiding their sales games.

You want to see a list of "something exciting" and then go on to say that "Steam is hiding their sales games" during a sale. I apologize for this ad hominem but: you are mental. I don't even know where to begin. Anyway I'll nip this in the bud right away, you can have the last word after this post.

I'll enjoy the sale, as I've done for many years, by just opening up the front page and scrolling down to the list of exciting games that are on sale or by using my own wishlist with exciting games as well.

It wasn't the combat experience I found complicated. It was clunky but basic.

What I remember, and it's years since I played it, was that I had trouble figuring out what to do at times. You were told what to do, but I remember googling a lot to find certain npcs, or actually do different things in the game.

Combat wise the game was nothing special. And the world feels incredibly small because of the instanced way the world works

Seriously, that is my personal opinion. My opinion is the game is overrated. How can a subjective opinion be wrong because some people is offended by it?

The world is round. Its a fact.

Liking a game or not is subjective, and there's no right or wrong answer.

Even though people tend to forget that.

I know about all the big blockbusters, I would like to see interesting titles I may not know about. Flash sales changed every 4 or so hours on the store page, revealing a lot of games that's not usually in the spotlight.

You can't prove my personal opinion is wrong, since it's not a fact even though some in here thinks theirs opinions are facts.

Yes, so long as those subjective opinions make sense and are correctly articulated.

Stepping in just to say "it feels like a game from 1999" isn't an opinion, it's just bullshit.

Anyway, sorry you didn't enjoyed the game. Have you considered giving it another chance? For me, it didn't really clicked until my second playthough.

 

[EverydayBeast]

I don’t think impulse buying is wise I don’t believe in stacking games overall looking at the sale steam sales definitely shrank a bit.

I tried it when it was free with psplus, and tried it when it was with humble bundle.

It just wasn't for me.

You are correct that enjoying games is subjective. However you literally stated a fallacy about the game. “It felt like a game from 1999.you get tossed into the game without any understanding about it.” Which simply isn’t true. It would be like me saying that Halo Infinite tosses you into the deep end without telling you how to use a grappling hook. Which, for anyone who has actually played tbe game is utterly untrue. Regardless of if I liked or disliked the game, I would be making a fool out of myself for saying such.

Sorry, and this is more of a general response to the "personal opinion" bit you've thrown out there as I often see people use it in discussions like this, but: It's not the gotcha or well thought out point you think it is. Your personal opinion might be that the sky is green and the grass is blue like DBZ but that doesn't mean it holds any basis in reality. You adding the caveat of "yeah but it's my personal opinion" doesn't magically make it so people can't prove you wrong.

Again this is more of a general forum thing rather than something specifically aimed at you. Carry on.

Nothing wrong with that! Glad you gave it a fair try, most people aren't even capable of that when it comes to judging games.

 

[CuNi]

SE did a publisher sale on Epic Games last month, it made the KH prices a lot more enticing.

I loved the Series on console (and emulator before the HD versions released).
It's my personal choice to not buy on other stores besides Steam and I won't judge anyone who does buy there.
But I still feel a little bit insulted that they release a game on Steam, "offer" a "generous" release-sale discount so the price floats around 60€, while the game is already 2 years old and not even a first-time PC release.
And on top of that, the OG price is insane. I don't think I ever saw a game ask 80€ on Steam without it being something like a digital deluxe edition. It's just sale-suicide. Most people that were dying to play it on PC most likely got it on EGS, spare for the few "steam fanboys" like me, but most likely they won't be willing to fork out 60€ for that either. It should've been 40€ from the start.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Probably going to pick up a few thins for my Steam Deck. Imagine I am not alone in that thinking!

 

[Mr Branding]

OoT was 98...

Anyway, the last few sales have been decent but cheaper elsewhere, the old days of getting loads for pennies is over

Never saw OoT mentioned in the post I quoted. Ok, different strokes and all that

 

[mortal]

So begins the great backlogging of 2022.

 

[jshackles]

Definitely not alone, I'm thinking the exact same thing.

In fact, this is pretty much the page I'll be using to browse the sale

Great on Deck

i wouldnt use that, its useless. there many unverified or "not working on deck" games that actually work on deck.

go to https://www.protondb.com/ and connect your steam account and you can see all the games in your library that run great on deck

I mean, I already have about 4,500 games on Steam and about 1,000 of those already show up ready to be installed on the Deck.

Part of the reason I love the Deck is that I don't have to fuck with stuff to get it working. I've definitely browsed the ProtonDB and found a few games that worked fine that weren't marked as Playable on Steam, but I've also found games that are "playable" according to the ProtonDB (over 2,500 games in my library) that you have to boot into the desktop mode and fiddle with files or load specific versions of Proton.

If there's a game I really wanna play then I'm willing to jump through a few hoops to get it working on my hardware of choice. Otherwise, I just like to browse around to see what's got the least amount of friction. To each their own.

 

[manfestival]

What time is this sale supposed to go live?

 

[Holammer]

What time is this sale supposed to go live?

30m left.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Steam's going slow as fuck for me.

 

[Hugare]

Big oof

Nothing interesting, imo

All of my wishlist is still pretty pricey

Maybe prices werent updated yet?

 

[TintoConCasera]

Any feedback? Don't think I'll pick anything else, not enough cool discounts.

 

[Hugare]

Blasphemous is great, and at a great price too

The rest I havent played, but 50% off for the majority is meh

 

[TintoConCasera]

Yeah... shitty discounts, but if this is the new normal for Steam's sales, I guess I'd just settle for a 50% on those.

 

[Holammer]

Any feedback? Don't think I'll pick anything else, not enough cool discounts.

Get Crosscode and Blasphemous.
Crosscode feels like a long lost Saturn action RPG.

 

[Nemesisuuu]

Any feedback? Don't think I'll pick anything else, not enough cool discounts.

You have Panzer Dragoon: Remake on GOG for like 2 Euros.

 

[VN1X]

If you have Amazon Prime then Rain World was 'free' on that recently.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

I can get 99% of games that are on sale cheaper if I buy on CDKeys, Gamivo etc... what's the point?

 

[TintoConCasera]

Get Crosscode and Blasphemous.

Oh, I'm pretty sure on those two! They both look great and I've seen a lot of praise here on GAF.

I'm one of those sick people that wouldn't mind paying a bit more for having it on Steam. I know, makes no sense and I'm ashamed of my deeds, but this is how it is.

Thanks anyway for letting me know tho.

If you have Amazon Prime then Rain World was 'free' on that recently.

Oh, cool to know! Thanks man, that's 9€ you just saved me.

Agreed, the pricing is more on Square Enix than Steam or Epic, considering Forspoken another Square Enix title was on pre-order for $70 on Steam and Epic. Square Enix is defintely trying to push that Sony pricing onto different platforms and not a big fan of it! However, FF7R was a game I really wanted to play and have been for a long time. So when it dropped, I did end up buying it day 1, some people justify the 70 dollar pricing as a base game + DLC type of deal, which tbh I get but even then, I think it should have been $50 at max.

The game however is beautiful, I never felt like I didn't get my money's worth, so I do have to give them that.

I was also like that for quite some time, Steam exclusive, so I understand you.

BUT - if you're into retro gaming, GOG is great. You can find games which aren't on Steam like Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain for example.

[Warnen]

no truer worlds ever written...


btw wouldn't be a steam sale without server issues. Can't even look at my wish list. I try after work tonight.

 

[Velcro Fly]

And yet they aren't using person first language in the ban message

 

[Laptop1991]

Nothing loads for me, so slow, i probably wont be buying anything anyway, i get an odd badge or 2 though.

 

[Nemesisuuu]

Same, so I'm browsing GOG sale instead.

 

[amigastar]

The point is that devs usually don't get little to any money from keysellers. But yeah i get your point.
And it can happen that your key from keysellers get banned on steam.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Yeah, so there's no point.

Never happened to me.

[nominedomine]

I ain't buying nothing with my backlog, PS+ Deluxe and PC Gamepass. I think games are so devalued at this point that I don't get excited about promos anymore. Steam sales use to be big thing for me.

 

[Greirat]

Reminder to check GG.DEALS first. They might have a better price than steam.

Bear in mind that site literally stole their design and functionality from isthereanydeal.com, including copy/pasting the exact same text in the early versions.

 

[Kacho]

Wait Tiny Tina's is on sale? When the FOOK did that hit Steam? Lol

 

[balls of snow]

Server issues lol. Try again in the morning.

 

[Holammer]

Grabbing this one, it's a steal for 4€. Looks like a decent game that failed to reach an audience with so few user reviews. The Megadrive action platformer aesthetic looks authentic.

Also these two to begin with.

 

[BigbyTheSheriff]

Can't go wrong with this one, especially at that price. One of my most played and favourite games of the last few years.
