I see it in USD.

Same. But that's what they show on the Steam store normally, so it's fine.

With that out of the way,

Is a Community's Choice considered a flash sale?

MeechMunchie 06-19-2014 09:18 PM

The flashiest.

I demand everyone buy this or I'm never sharing a sale again.


Job McYossie 06-19-2014 11:37 PM

What the fuck did I just buy? I remember playing Darwinia, so I assume it's similar. I have not actually even installed this yet, I just wanted MM to keep posting great sales.
Actually I've considered buying this for a while so thanks. Still want to hear people's opinions on it.

MeechMunchie 06-19-2014 11:56 PM

Call it a vested interest - I think it's fantastic, but I never have anyone to multiplay with. I must've played hundreds of games against the AI.

I've now set up a second Steam account with all of the games I own on its wishlist. In theory, it should tell me when a game I enjoyed goes on sale.

























Varrok 06-20-2014 02:21 AM

Yeah, I can play Multiwinia too. I played it with Meech, but he uses hacks.

Varrok 06-20-2014 04:46 AM

Wherever I try to put this word in that sentence, it sounds wrong.

Job McYossie 06-20-2014 04:38 PM

oh, so I just bought a multiplayer game without knowing what it was.

Guess I'll be looking for people to play with then, time to update the signature.

Dynamithix 06-20-2014 05:05 PM

Bought my first game from the sale, Risk of Rain. It's 75% off right now. Interested to see what the game's like.

Phylum 06-20-2014 06:19 PM

Risk of Rain is sick, but tough as nails. You'll have your hands full for a while there.

You'll want a controller for it.

It's still fun on your own, though. Also,
I might - might - buy a bunch of copies myself and throw them around at the end of the sale. I've already spent £58 on video games in two days, though, so don't get too hopeful.

I definitely disagree. The keyboard controls are perfect here to me.

@MM thanks for personally sending a invite out. Probably would have forgotten to join.

Assassin’s Creed 4 was on sale and I gave money to Ubisoft for it and I just know it’s gonna need to run Uplay and why did I do this

Also I bought The Yawhg, which is a neat little game a friend showed me which is basically a semi-randomized CYOA with really nice art. I recommend it, since it’s only a few bucks.

The keyboard is functional, but the 4 shoulder button skills plus face buttons for jumping and interacting feel like it was designed with a controller in mind.

It's also a 2D sidescroller with platforming elements that can get quite twitchy. That's generally controller territory.

If keyboard works for you that's great, but it's definitely a controller game.

Also since when do you have to be Steam level 8 to get cards for voting? Fuck's sake Steam. I've only just got to level 5, so I was actually looking forward to being able to get involved with this a bit. Maybe try to craft the badge to get some of the rewards. I'm going to buy some things, so I might still get a card or two, but I've voted enough times that I should have two already.

Pirfsich 06-21-2014 02:45 AM

I need Money.

What’s your Steam account and what Oddworld games do you already own on it?

MeechMunchie 06-21-2014 10:45 AM






Job McYossie 06-21-2014 11:38 AM



This game is pretty great regardless if you play with others or not.

I find it funny when I find Oddworld games on sale. No idea why I do. Anyways, AE is on 75% sale: http://www.gog.com/game/oddworld_abes_exoddus

AlexFili 06-21-2014 03:09 PM

According to Totalbiscuit the Flash Sale is the cheapest the game is going to be for the entire Steam Sale.

Munch's Oddysee is currently about 60% off which is nice. I'm picking up the Nosgoth £3 deal because I want to play it, it reminds me a lot of the Assassins Creed multiplayer (with a hint of Chivalry). Definitely keep your eyes on both GOG and Steam if you want Oddworld cheap! (PS Skyrim is definitely a brilliant game to get if you don't have it)

Dynamithix 06-21-2014 04:00 PM

Skyrim was cheaper than I expected so I picked that up, always wanted to get the PC version anyways because of the mods. Also bought Payday 2, I enjoyed it a lot when it was on free weekend.

Crashpunk 06-22-2014 03:09 PM

Age of Empires II: Age of Kings HD is still on sale. Highly recommend buying that if your into RTSs. Despite it's age lol and the fact is barely a HD remake. It's still one of the best RTSs ever made.

And Tomb Raider is stupidly cheap right now. (That's the recent reboot by the way.) A fantastic game with brilliant visual effects and Uncharted-est gameplay.

MeechMunchie 06-22-2014 05:31 PM



As far as I'm concerned, this is the best hack 'n' slash ever made. But I'm mental.

MeechMunchie 06-27-2014 05:16 AM



Wings of Fire Simulator 2014

Job McYossie 06-27-2014 07:50 AM

I want it so badly, but my tiny funds say no.

Phylum 06-27-2014 08:18 AM

I was really close to buying that, but I decided that I'm too busy being a grown-ass man.

Varrok 06-27-2014 08:24 AM

Besides, we've got WoF right here. For free.

Dynamithix 06-27-2014 11:45 AM

A lot of the recent daily deals and flash sales have been kinda lackluster, I was hoping for more indies and some not-so-popular stuff, Gemini Rue and Killer Is Dead for example. So far I've picked up Skyrim, Risk of Rain, Syberia bundle and Payday 2. I also got the BattleBlock Theater + Castle Crashers bundle gifted to me.

Varrok 06-27-2014 11:49 AM

I bought Dishonored. I loved Dark Messiah, so it was a natural choice for me. I like Dishonored too.

Mr. Bungle 06-27-2014 12:40 PM

just downloaded System Shock 2 for like, a dollar. Supposed to be great. Hope it is.

Varrok 06-27-2014 01:03 PM

It is.

Mr. Bungle 06-27-2014 02:54 PM

Yeah. It is.

Old school, though. and tough. But pretty great, so far.

Varrok 06-27-2014 02:56 PM

Also, there are some nice mods if you want it to look a little bit prettier.

Job McYossie 06-27-2014 04:47 PM

System Shock 2 is a fantastic game like wow holy crap amazing I love it so much is right in it it is great, gah.

Seriously though, enjoy, that game is beautiful. And it's got a multiplayer mod that is partially functional!

Jordan 06-28-2014 06:57 AM

Such a brilliant game. It's difficult but it does a superb job of immersing you. I wish its in-depth mechanics were transferred to Bioshock.

Dynamithix 06-28-2014 01:09 PM

I picked this game up and I really like it. It's sort of a platformer, it borrows some elements from games like Mirror's Edge, Vanquish etc. and it has a very nice visual style.


Manco 06-28-2014 01:32 PM

I’ve actually been looking for a 3D platformer to try out, I’ll check it out.

Ridg3 07-04-2014 03:35 AM

http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/07/02/free-steam-key/

For five weeks there'll be five free games, into the second week already, right enough, with Dino D-Day. It's pure shite but, hey, free games.

EDIT: And I highly recommend you have a look at Bundle Stars, they got some pretty awesome deals.
