Community MetaSteam | June 2020 - Month Of The Seal, With Many A Deal, Throw Money With Zeal, The Wallet Will Kneel

[C-Dub]

Valkyria Chronicles is badass. It took me a few attempts to really "get it", but once it clicked with me I fell in love with the series. I'd obviously recommend Persona 4 Golden too.

I actually think those two are both excellent and very accessible anime RPGs.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

I finally got into the Artifact 2.0 Beta.

 

[Tomasety]

I didn't know itad had a hand-picked indie tips section. Might be worth a try if you are looking for more indie games and might have missed some of them past years. Also they have a recommended to you section based on your current collection and wishlist data gathered from you.

There are many well-known games on the list but just as I said again you might want to look for more or missed some.

I was just messing with the community market again to make some money for the sale, and I can now see how much I made over the years:

Yeah, Steam is pretty good.

 

[prudis]

 

[Myradeer]

Quick warning. Of all the suggestions so far, Valkyria Chronicles is actually the one most "anime".

 

[inky]

The only true anime game I'll allow is Skies of Arcadia. After that, you can go back and ignore every other anime.

Trails and VC suggestions are but poor derivative options from the ONE TRUE game.

Welp. I have gotten a lot more than I thought from market.

(Also this is Augemented Steam feature).

 

[PC-tan]

Well that was a really good number for PC games.

Welp SamSho DLC have PC Logo and its only on Epic.

Falcom games on PC is what I was referring to.

 

[Ascheroth]

I'm about to reach the 50 hour mark with no end in sight and Enderal has been god damn fantastic.


Exploration is such a joy in this game and the story and quests are excellent too.

 

[Wok]

Welp. I have gotten a lot more than I thought from market.

It can be misleading. For instance, I have gotten Dota 2 items, along with Valve clothes, which I have then sold on the market. That means I paid with money on my bank account and recouped money on my Steam wallet. That sounds like a profit if I only consider the Steam Wallet, but it is actually roughly neutral on average.

In total, my net gain is supposed to be 200 €, but it is certainly not.
Especially considering that I have not tried to sell the most expensive Dota2 item yet, so the cost of this item has not yet been recouped.

Humble Nacon Publisher Bundle

Pretty decent tiers 1 and 2.
I remember enjoying Aarklash and Of Orcs and Men quite a bit 5 or 6 years ago, although I don't know how well they hold to today's standards.

Of orcs and men can look rather nice with ssgss anti aliasing

I just wished Humble could link proper steam store pages for each of the showcased games. I get its good and fair to put a link for pub and dev sites but no link for steam store pages is in my opinion unconvinient. I have a terrible memory due to medication. I will try to send my feedback to Humble support so they may add them in the future

Also, thanks for the heads up.

It is really, really good.
Better than Skyrim, the more Gothic-like sensibilities like fixed loot and ennemies make it very fun (though the class system railroads you too much into archetypes for my liking).

If you like Enderal, don't forget Nehrim, another conversion mod for Oblivion by the same team:

It's a bit less polished, and Oblivion is a bit jank to begin with, but I like the atmosphere even more in this one.

 

[toxicitizen]

Welp, that's the idling done. Now to list... 541 cards on the market...

On the bright side, I somehow got 4 foils and one of them is worth a little bit!

 

[inky]

I should move Enderal up the 'to play' list. Fuck.

Especially considering that I have not tried to sell the most expensive Dota2 item yet, so the cost of this item has not yet been recouped.

after seeing this:

i went into my history and had a look, i spent 320€ on artifact + extra packs and tickets that it obviously doesn't show and got ~385€ back from selling the cards on the market and that's just from a couple weeks of playing a lot of draft in artifact, those trading a lot must have crazy stats

True, that is why I use GG instead:

I took that into account

 

[Madventure]

Yeah I have no idea why people are suggesting Valkyria Chronicles but It's pretty fantastic and I don't even like anime so you should all get it regardless if you like squad/turn based games

 

[Joe Spangle]

As it happens I do own Valkyria Chronicles. I bought it to show my support for Sega's porting efforts. Should I start with that?

I would +1 for Valkyria Chronicles. Its got a good fun game mechanic where it's sort of turn based and its got some squad mechanics. Its about as close to anime is i would want to tread and so you should be ok and not succumb to the dark side of this forum.

 

[lashman]

When in doubt,

[beep boop]

Burnout Paradise is still so good
That is all.

 

[Snakethesniper]

I'm eyeing scarlet saga from the last sale, so I hope it will be on sale this thursday.

Also, I always forget who are the lovers of deck-building games such as myself, but I've recently discovered that they have released the Tainted Grail digital adaptation, and instead of being a copy of the boardgame, it seems to be more like Slay the spire:

 

[gabbo]

As bad as the movie was, that demo seems to show some promise. WB needs to get its act together

 

[Kvik]

Valkyria Chronicles 4 is also a pretty good game. It has a lot of interesting maps with varying strategies, and while it's practically VC1 with improvements, I don't see it as a bad thing.

Sure, it has an onsen mission and a beach mission which comes with its own trappings and therefore it caught a lot of flak because of it, but the strategy layer is solid (and still can be broken if you're into min-maxing).

Also, the PC port is solid. Constant frametimes, 200% supersampling, etc.

I have like 100+ cards right now, what's the fastest way to sell them all?

 

[TioChuck]

I use Steam Economy Enhancer with tampermonkey on Chrome, it enables options to sell cards and items for the highest buy order all at once.

 

[toxicitizen]

Aaaand that's all 500+ cards listed.

Now to sit back and watch the pennies roll in. Already almost at 20 bucks, although I did get an early boost from selling a Persona background.

 

[NarohDethan]

Do we know what happened to Mortal Kombat Kollection?

Cool, thanks. It works.

Seem I missed this, but YS VIII just recently got a price drop. And with the current discount it's pretty cheap in a lot of regions. I remember that there was a big patch a few months ago, addressing the main issues with the port. I might actually pick it up.

 

[madjoki]

We might get real coupon during summer seal. Thx Epic.

 

[Swenhir]

As bad as the movie was, that demo seems to show some promise. WB needs to get its act together

Especially considering what it was running on! That was pretty impressive even accounting for the fact the budget seemed to be spent on very small environments. The Balrog camera pan was so darn smooth.

 

[Wok]

Hopefully, it can be retro-active. For instance, to be used on Persona 4 Golden.

Checks if hell is frozen.......


Yeah no.

 

[FunnyJay]

Valkyria Chronicles is a really great game. Just don't care about the rank at all, and play the game how you want to play it. No one cares that you S-ranked a mission with 1 scout anyway.

---

I finally had some more time to play some C&C Remastered.
Man, a few of those mission are really hard!

Had to reload the GDI commando mission several times, since the commando or the helicopter was ambushed by tanks.
And the mission after, where you are immediately attacked by flametroopers while your soldiers are arriving at the beach... Yeesh!

Barely had any time to set up a base and get some defenses going. But it helped a lot to move your base further north, to keep it between the two tiberium patches.

 

[Wok]

Checks if hell is frozen.......

:emo:

Then I will make sure to stay in the refund window.

 

[inky]

Or might just be a second coupon you have to pay for.

Those paid coupons never had min purchase amount only coupon given to everyone during lunar sale.

Thanks for the link. Almost instantly liked until I saw G2A and other grey store coupons.... eww. Then I read "Only official stores" which was extremely incoherent with my previous statement. The site looks cool and clean tho just a shame they cant be transparent at all.

Nvm, they offer users to select either "only official stores" or "show me keyshop offers" which include grey sites. While I was partially mistaken, I wish they could get rid of the latter.

 

[texhnolyze]

It's been a success too, the Steam top seller right now.

It's a kind of game that I'll love to play with my son later when he gets older. Looks pretty cute.

 

[Futaleufu]

Do we know what happened to Mortal Kombat Kollection?

If you mean the arcade collection, it was delisted a long time ago, probably related to GFWL.
If you mean MK9, it was delisted for having Freddy Kruger on it.

Definitely go with the the option to hide resellers.

 

[Le Pertti]

Glad to see that I'm at a plus! Considering that between every sale I idle games and finish the badges for them. I only sell cards that are worth something, seems that way of doing things is working and financing my badge collecting!;D
