Dungeon Of Dragon Knight is now out of Early Access:

 

[DeejayDoom]

 

[Ascheroth]

A Xianhuan-themed Battle Royal game?
I have no interest in BR, but that setting alone makes me almost want to check it out, lol.

 

[BernardoOne]

can't wait for my fixed lighthouse to arrive so i can play all dem VR games I got this summer sale

 

[Nabs]

My final haul (no pun intended):

American Truck Sim: Washington DLC / Forest Machinery DLC.
and Dark Souls Remastered.

The Washington DLC has been wonderful, and the latest DX11 update makes the game run silky smooth. Great for VR.

This got suddenly removed from sale two weeks ago but it'll be back soon.

I'll need to save some money in the next few months so I just said fuck it and went all in with pre-orders since I was able to get some Steam cards at a bit less than their actual value + Valve discount. At least I won't have to think about it and I could stop buying games for a while if I need.

 

[derExperte]

Omg, I looooved the first. And this one has 3d-ish parts? Yipyip.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

The sale was pretty much a non event for me, I picked up a few pre-orders that I would have gotten anyway, but the tokens from those gave me an extra £10 towards another pre-order for Spyro.

 

[prudis]

early access launch , suprisingly even has single player mode with 6 leagues to unlock and complete

oooooh yeeeeaaaaaah

 

[PossiblyPudding]

I spent way too much in the sale like usual and will probably have to deal with the aftereffects of that eventually.

Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Game of the Year Edition
Baba Is You
Druidstone: The Secret of the Menhir Forest
Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition & all DLC
Hunt: Showdown
Pacify
ATOM: RPG
Heat Signature
Little Dragons Café
Brigador
Wizard of Legend
Cat Quest
Conan Exiles
Warhammer: Vermintide 2 (for a friend of mine)

And almost $50 on another game that I got outside of the sale.

 

[xinek]

I got Resident Evil 7 for like $10 after a sale voucher. Not an amazing deal, but I'll really enjoy playing it this fall when it's spooky out.

 

[gabbo]

The most I bought overall during a sale, in terms of games. Probably in terms of money spent too:
Super Man Or Monster
Black Mesa
Road Redemption
DreadOut: Keepers of The Dark
Fly in the House
Armored Kitten

My wishlist is still over 100...

 

[Deleted member 113]

It's the 11st here in Europe already.
You know what that means?

Soon...

 

[NarohDethan]

I did the right thing by skipping this game.

 

[Kvik]

I can understand if Mordhau is an open-source project and licensed under GPL v2, however it is not. Regardless, translation projects are not easy and translator/editors deserved to be paid for their troubles. Especially when Mordhau is really popular from what I've seen (even Kizuna Ai's playing it)

 

[Madventure]

I mean take it for what you will but that forum post was on april 19th and the game released on steam on april 29th, then the game zoomed into the stratosphere followed by their other stuff

I mean the company made Mordhau off of a kickstarter campaign with 300k and 10 people in 2 years so it could of tanked horribly.

As far as their other more recent stuff goes? That's a different story

I stand by my point. Asking for free localization work for a product you expect to sell (even if it tanks) is not a good thing. Paying 'for exposure and thanks' sucks.

Well yeah but no ever pays me in thanks

Localization is becoming more and more of a lost art these days imho. Don’t know if it’s the economical crisis, the bad precedent of localizators who translate for free on mobile, companies being super greedy when it comes to this budget line but I rarely even try the French translation these days outside of AAA.
Each time I try to stay positive and try it get some wet fart job. As someone who really loved the process of translating texts in school, this is disheartening. As a customer, this is middly insulting.
The horrible manga fan translation community was the spearhead of the assault and I fear we have lost the war.

The fact remains they were asking someone to take on a difficult job with little to no incentives. If you're planning to make money of out of a product, it's only right that people who worked on it to be shown the form of gratitude which matters the most: money.

Sure, a name on a credit roll may look good on a resume, but you won't be able to send that resume to prospective employers if you can't afford to pay for the internet bills.

I guess what I'm trying to say is this: developers, stop being a fucking cheap arse and pay your damn employees/contractors.

 

[texhnolyze]

Translating articles is one of my main job desks, and no, I wouldn't do it for free even for just one sentence.

There's Google translation, and there's translation. They probably have no idea that the efforts needed are totally different.

yeah, they absolutely should've paid the translators ... or, at the very least, offer royalties or something

[JMTHEFOX]

Thank fuck I never bought Mordhau. If you're going to translate the game, at least hire paid professional translators/voice actors or pay the community translators.

 

[Le Pertti]

The thing is about the translators, that they most likely got it done for free. There are always people willing to do things for free.

 

[bobnowhere]

I'm happy to translate it into Australian for free.

 

[lashman]

IT'S OUT!!!

EDF! EDF! EDF! EDF! EDF! EDF! EDF! EDF!

the easiest job on the planet - just add "cunt" every few words

 

[「Echo」]

I only got TW: Three Kingdoms and Episode Ardyn from the sale lol. And even then only because I had $55 in coupons.

Winter sale should be better for me now that I'm working again...

 

[lazerfox]

My haul:

Night in the Woods
Divinity: Original Sin
AMID EVIL
Tokyo Xanadu eX+
Raw Data
Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales
Destiny 2: Shadowkeep Deluxe

I've been playing too much Destiny lately so once I get max level I can finally start playing the new games I bought.

 

[PossiblyPudding]

IT'S OUT!!!

EDF! EDF! EDF! EDF! EDF! EDF! EDF! EDF!

Glad to see it release on time. Unfortunately I'm probably going to have to wait a little while until I can pick it up.

Hope everyone that picks it up has a great time and kicks some alien and insect butt in my stead.

I wonder how a golden kamuy game could work...

Hell yeah! Also, kudos to them for adding Taiwanese and Korean voice acting. I wish more Japanese-developed games had those dubs.

 

[sprinkles]

Omg, I looooved the first. And this one has 3d-ish parts? Yipyip.

Olalala!
Day 1!

Hotdamn, this is true. Surpassing PUBG.

Nah. As someone who helped translate a dozen Indies, it is 100% perfectly fine. At the time they were a very small team that had no idea of the success they would have. There's nothing wrong with small Indies using crowdsourced translations.

I didn't buy anything during the sale.
I bought the Shadow of the Tomb Raider dlc few days before the sale though, since it was already on sale.

 

[BO7AMMOOD]

Me when the horror show I managed to put my bank account through the past couple of weeks sinks in

 

[hankenta]

I only bought the season 1 and 2 characters for Street Fighter V because a couple of my friends wanted to play the game. Light on the wallet.

As I recall, you were always in the lead each day during the grand prix. 'Twas supreme effort!
