Siralim 2 is free on Android this weekend but it's also on steam. It got linked in the roguelike thread but it's most of like an endless grind RPG with monster summoning and breeding and some cool progression elements (build your castle, gain favour with 15 gods, do some side quests). It's really good.

My phone's too tiny to play it properly, but my taste of gameplay convinced me I want indie fantasy pokemon on my laptop.

It also has GTA V currently sitting on a Mixed review score on Steam which I find to be equally impressive. Turns out, people really love their mods.

Eagerly awaiting the day that GTA VI comes out and all of the people who gave negative reviews saying they're boycotting Take 2 will be playing the game at the same time. Maybe they'll all be members of the group "BOYCOTT GTA VI!" and we can get another funny screencap.

the modern warfare pic is one of my favourites but unfortunately the story is that the group was open and on release a lot of ppl joined it to troll.

having said that, absolutely noone who wants to play gta will give a gently caress about the small text reading MIXED REVIEWS!!! on the side when all they wanna do is pew pew drive the car funny redneck

If the next gta doesn't have single player then I won't get it.

The only multiplayer GTA that was good was the fan-mad multiplayer mod for San Andreas and the OJ Simpson mode.

I don't know if anyone has compiled anything, but if anyone else is like me and lives under a rock like an ol' hermit the past several years and sort of just pops in every so often, here's a list of good games that have come out in 2017 and you might want to check out during the upcoming sale if the price is right for you.

Prey
Nier: Automata
Resident Evil 7
Night in the Woods
Hollow Knight (easily top 3 true metroidvania on Steam and is amazing)
Vanquish + Bayonetta (not new, but new to Steam!)
Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove (technically not new and you may already have it, but they added a lot of content and worth getting now for sure)
Dead Cells* (It's still EA but it's absolutely amazing. I only don't recommend it because you might play 30+ hrs of this and burn out before the game is completed and balanced but holy poo poo it's fun)

Games I have my eye on from this year:
Alwas Awakening
Everspace (heard mixed things but I may get it if the price is low enough)
What Remains of Edith Finch

I do have a few 2016 games I never got around to getting as well but I assume most anyone interested probably picked up most of the good-stuff last Winter already so I don't think that's worth recapping.

Feel free to let me know if there's been anything that's really stood-out as absolutely amazing this year that I should also keep an eye on.

I see $4.99. Do you mean Siralim 1? That looks to be free?

Looks like the freeby ended. :(

I still recommend it. It's a lot more built out than Siralim was. Siralim was the prototype, this feels like the finished product.

Nice list! I'm personally hoping that Little Nightmares has a decent sale - reports were that it's really good, but really short considering the price.

By the way are we going to have a Steam Sale thread? I don't think it's necessary anymore as the dailies are over, there probably won't be any minigame or ARG - at least there wasn't on X-mas -, there's no more voting, the giftrain is dead. Maybe change the thread title to something Sale-y, let everyone swarm in here then nuke the thread and start anew.

Well, this one has been going for 3 years, so it may not be a bad idea; without dailies most posts in the last sale thread were "Is X game worth it at Y money?". That, and me shilling Alien: Isolation. :v:

US can still gift to whomever they want, yeah? Plus, can just buy keys elsewhere. Might need to have future trains overlap with the sales of legit key vendors, Humble/GMG. It's a little more complicated fo sho.

people can't gift to people who would have to pay more for their games. so you can't give games to everyone either

Honor Father's Day by gifting as many copies of Shower With Your Dad Simulator as you can today. I am sure there are plenty of father themed games on Steam, but none are this in your face.

That's a really bad game though. Get Witcher 3 instead, a much better game about being a good dad

Incorrect, Do You Still Shower With Your Dad: Dad Showering Simulator is actually a lot deeper gameplay wise than it at first appears. It kinda falls in that Try Not To Fart spot, where the idea is stupid, and the resources spent on it are appropriate, but somehow they made something worth playing.

I'm thinking of making a Summer Sales thread without Steam in the title because it's a deep sales period and people might talk about getting various games based on deals. But I don't know, maybe it's stretching it.

They seem still 1/5th baked still. I can't do anything very interesting with them and I can just get those backgrounds off the market. Hell its kinda stupid the backgrounds are not just bonus items for preorders or better yet beating the game.

Those backgrounds (and emoticons) are there because people used the cards for badges. Otherwise they wouldn't exist. Each card also has its own description and art that you can click on to enlarge and use for your desktop if it's good enough. Or just sell for money. Sorta like real collector's cards.

If booster packs bother you, make sure not to level up any further. Every 10 levels increases the drop rate.
