Boys, when the end comes, only people with a steam account above a certain level will be saved. Stop complaining and start saving.

Bros, I miss daily deals like you wouldn't believe....

This badge shit is usually just a lot of work for not much payoff. I realize that the refund system pretty much killed any daily/flash sales, but Steam sales just aren't the same as they used to be. I don't think gaben.tv even works anymore.

Is this what getting old feels like...

Yea the hype is completely gone from steam sales for me. I’ll give my wishlist a once over when the sale starts and maybe pick up a few things but it just isn’t the same.

 

[Tomi]

all this steam summer sale stuff is almost always more expensive than some key sites.

I never actually bought a game off steam because i always find a more cheap option so i cant catch excitement some of you guys have

Save me Gaben!

Haven't cared about the sale since they changed it.

Now sales are boring and the good games are hidden. Before with the flash sales all kinds of games went into the spotlight.

Now steam wants to let me search their whole catalogue for something I maybe want instead of them showing it to me.

You don't have a wishlist?

[ThatStupidLion]

hopefully a nice deal on songs of conquest

 

[Holammer]

Dropped off Pc gaming for a while, but my SteamDeck’s dragged me back in. Looking forward to some nice deals

My brain works in mysterious ways, had to get this image out of my head.

 

[NeonDelta]

i have £40 in my steam wallet ready

 

[Pejo]

Welp reduced my Wishlist by 135 games so far, and I still have more to go. Wanna get this nice and clean for tomorrow.

 

[j0hnnix]

Q3 steamdeck, crying inside. Will get in on some good sales though in preparation.

 

[Ogbert]

My first Steam sale post getting my Steam Deck.

Lord. I might bankrupt myself.

 

[zcaa0g]

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

 

[The_Mike]

You don't have a wishlist?

No. I don't want to check all the steam games to see what I want.

I want the store to show me interesting stuff.

I really hate the idea of wishlist.

Going into the local market.

"hey we have a sale"
"oh really, great, what are the sales?"
"fuck you go find it yourself"

You can order your wishlist by discount, pretty neat feature for the sale days imo.

True true. Real gamers only have hate lists, don't care lists, and worthless indie trash lists.

If that makes you happy then sure.

Not caring about a wish list doesn't mean you have a hate list. The problem is having a list in the first place.

You guys are literally crazy for supporting this nonsense.

It's the only store that doesn't want to get you potential interesting offers, and wants you to actively find some random games you may or may not know.

I can go on psn and see games on current sale. Same on xbox and switch.

Hell, even epic games tells me what they have on sale.

On steam i have to actively find the sales of games you may or may not know.

I've bought flashbsale games I've never heard of before because I got suggested some games I never heard of.

Now I'm expected to queue through all their games because steam is too lazy to have a proper sale since the last one that included flash sale.

Sounds like a man that need more copies of Skyrim

230 games on my wishlist and this is after removing a bunch I realized I'll never play anyway.

Bring it on Gabe.

 

[ACESHIGH]

How do you order your wishlist by discount %? Thats quite useful.

 

[Dr.brain64]

May my wallet survive this.

 

[Holammer]

It's very intuitive you can't miss it, check the wishlist page. It's on the top right "Sort By: X", click and select discount.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Not sure yet if I'll buy much this year. With FFVII Remake and still needing to finish the second half of Elden Ring, I've got enough gaming to get me through fall. I will be on the lookout for good puzzle games.

Reminder

One of the most overhyped games in history.

You have to have some sort of nostalgia trip for this since it has aged so bad.

Maybe you could start your wishlist by adding some "good taste in videogames" to it.

 

[balls of snow]

So whats the eta on this. Sony already has its summer sale up.

It starts in 7 hours, I think.

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

also check out cdkeys. they might have some games cheaper too.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Guys, are you sure your money is reaching the devs when buying keys from those kinda sites?

I sometimes buy from them, specially from instant-gaming, but I worry about the devs not seeing any money from it.

Well the beauty on GGdeals is that you can see exactly which sites are shady and which are official resellers.

A bit of a wild west. You are probably thinking of stories about people buying games with stolen credit cards and selling the keys.

Well, not particulary that, but sometimes I see such awesome deals that I just can wonder were do they come from.

Nirvana Initiative tomorrow, Steam Sale today. Divorce next week?

Dude, what’s with all the negativity jabs? Sure, the game aged but it’s still a fun romp, finished it 4 times so far and the combat was way above every other rpg at the time of release. I’d say it still is but w/e.

Steam takes a 30% cut on store sales, but not on key activations. Not impossible for others to undercut and still make an honest profit.

Oh my! Then it makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

Nice share, will use that!

Bought arkham collection for €8 right away.

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.

What are you even on about?

You can have a wishlist of games you'd like to play and see if they are discounted. If not then you can use discovery queues or the store algorithm that shows you games based on the ones you've already played. Honestly, if you're looking for new shit to play then Steam Discovery's features are second to none lol.

And we "are literally crazy"? Right.

Yeah, fuck discovering things on your own, am I right.

Like dude, the game is pretty simple compared to most RPGs, and Gran Soren is kinda small (so long as you don't get lost on the walls/rooftops) and has icons on the map for every place of interest.

The combat I guess must be something subjective, as for me is the best of any ARPG. Feels like a beat'em'up, with lots of options and mechanics like climbing, and also great feedback that makes hitting things very satisfying.
Mobs respawning didn't bother me at all, but I understand how it could bother you since you didn't like the combat in the first place.

Game has it's flaws ofc, but none of the things you posted are true imo.

Doubt you really played a game from ‘99

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.

OoT was 98...

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