this happens to me fairly often and I find a lot of time it's because there's a steam update waiting to install. when it hangs like this, I will restart steam and more often than not there's a quick update installation. once I get back in, I'm usually good to go

I've always wanted to give that series a shot. I'm looking forward to that!

I tried to get into the PS3 version of one of those games, but it kept wanting to download a 2 GB update that basically contained DLC that I had no plans on purchasing.

Boooo. I actually liked the insanity of it.

I agree, I always liked seeing what the new flash sales were.

Now why would I need to log in every day and spend $10 when I can log in once and spend $20? I'm 100% sure that I'll spend LESS money this way.

I agree. I'm guessing the discounts won't get as deep and so I will spend less overall because the value proposition won't cause me to impulse buy.

I took it as them wanting their best deals to last the week due to all the competition that's come up in the last couple years. I know I look elsewhere for sales on games significantly more than I did just a couple years ago. Especially since most of them still activate on Steam. Cheaper price same result.
I don't know how limiting the deals makes any sense. |

I won't miss the Flash sales, but I will miss the daily deals. I don't see myself impulse buying as much now, because I'll have all the information at my fingertips on day 1, and then a week or more to really consider it.

The steam sale is a little underwhelming without the flash sales. I do see Draft day sports College basketball 3 is on sale for 9 bucks. Is it worth it at this price? A good game? I'm a pretty big fastbreak college basketball fan.

Been playing this game for awhile and I finally beat it. An extra difficult platformer with a twist. Definitely worth a dollar.

Nice Job!
I'm still stuck on it. Not sure I can go any further with it. You're right, it's a fun little game.

I think it's one of the best designed and interesting and stressful and fun indy games in the last few years.
Here, let's go over why: 1). It's extremely detailed, with a ton of animals, plants, food sources, and most importantly, things that want to kill you. The ecology far exceeds anything you'd see in a lot of games. 2). The game mechanics are easy to figure out but very difficult to master. and you never really master. Expect to die early and often. 3). Did you ever play a game like Angband and then as you are playing, and you think you know everything, you suddenly encounter something brand new? A new item, a new creature a new type of land? Same here. 4). Don't starve is very smooth, and very flavorful. Oozes flavor massively. 5). If you can find it, you can unlock a campaign mode with increasingly difficult campaigns. 6). You have caves, an underworld, and more to explore if you want. Or you can just skip by it. 7). Lots of patches are released, adding game content for free. Great mods for the game too.

other indie games I highly recommend...
Limbo - gorgeous moody puzzle platformer. The Ship - muliplayer frag game where you have a target and are someone else's target in the era of the titannic. your weapons are things you find on the ship Sir YOu Are HUnted - you are on an island being hunted by robots dressed as british foxhunters. RUN!!!!!!! multiplayer is especially fun especially ganging up on the bots |

Anyone play Eliteangerous? Looks like they're adding the capability to land on planets on the 15th. Looks so pretty, but I'm not sure if I'll be bored within minutes.

Grey Dog added The Greatest Cape to Steam today. I started it, and created a character for it, and was going to make a dynasty for it here, and I loved the backstory, but I didn't get it past the initial stage. I should post it sometime to see what y'all think, since I invested teh work.

Just finished up Life is Strange(picked up during Thanksgiving). Jesus, what an experience that game was. It starts out rather slow and you wonder where it's all leading, but the last couple episodes are phenomenal. The final one was absolutely amazing, I don't know how they pulled off what they were going for, but they did. It hits on all cylinders.
Definitely a Telltale style adventure game, so use that as a guide for if you'd like it or not. I think it easily tops any Telltale game, but the base gameplay mechanics are identical. Last edited by jeff061 : 12-22-2015 at 10:45 PM. |

I can't make heads or tales of what's for sale or find the stuff I want to buy. Really annoying, because I was a big purchaser during the sale periods. Checked back every day. Now, I'm not sure I even care.

I didn't know if I should start a new thread but...has anyone else noticed that if you click on your Steam user name on the right side of the title bar of the Steam app, and then click account details, you get someone else's account info? I am looking at someone's Steam wallet, purchase history, contact info... I can't get to my own info -- it's as if the accounts get mixed up although my games library is accurate.
Other weird things are happening too -- no wishlist, no cart. I went to Big Picture mode, and then exited, and suddenly the language changed to Spanish. Clearly something's wrong and just wondering if it's my account/computer or if others are having similar issues. |

Good, because I finally got around to buying Sunless Sea and am hoping to get a good run in with it tonight! (Tried it a little last night, and it's gonna take me a little getting used to the keyboard aspect. Although I think it's really having the 2 hands so close together that's bothering me, so maybe I'll just plug in a mouse for that game.)
I assume I'll also buy Dungeon of the Endless eventually. Idk if it's Steam or Paradox's fault, but I just get so annoyed any time I buy a Paradox title trying to figure out exactly what's in which version that I go through with less than 50% of my intended transactions with them 100% agreed on the lack of interest in the sale. This new way I just typed in the name of the few games I was targeting, and bought them or didn't. The old way I'd scroll through the whole list and at least look at, if not outright impulse buy, new games I'd never heard of. Even if I "missed" a flash sale if people were talking about one I'd give it a look see and maybe add it to my wishlist or KAEO for it during the next sale. So it doesn't expose new games to me, and it goes on so long I *know* I will be able to buy almost any title on sale within the next 6 months, instead of the past where if I wanted a game I might just pay full price because there was a decent chance I'd miss it when it was on sale anyway.

Was given a $50 Steam Card for XMAS, so I bought:
FOF7 Five Nights at Freddy's The Stanley Parable Octodad Back to the Future Rocket League + Delorean DLC That left me with .52 on my Steam card. Also, someone bought me Goat Simulator at a Secret Santa gathering and I bought Talos Principle for my girlfriend.

My one steam sale purchase has been EP1 of Talos Principle since I like Telltale-style games. I also found a sale on FM16 that I bought which activated on steam.

I picked up a few games this season. I've been holding a bunch of games on my wishlist just for this sale. So the sale itself sucks, but I just couldn't hold back on these games anymore.
-Rocket League -Darkest Dungeon -Besiege -Endless Legend Collection -Life is Strange Complete -Sunless Sea -Metahuman Inc.
