I don't know if someone made the observation already, but I was just looking at Rocket Arena and it's apparently €30 on Steam while being €5 on Origin. So it is possible for games to be priced differently depending on where they're sold. So that rule about pricing on Steam having to be the same as what it's sold for outside of Steam only applies to Steam versions of those games. This was to be expected (I think), but here we can see a concrete example of it.

"Sam, you need to go and find more chiral crystals"
Me: "Fuck you, I have a trainer".
Im really enjoying my time with the game, I just won't bother gathering those crystals right now.

13 Euro for both games

I've waited freaking years on the enhanced version of Stranger of Sword City before finally getting it a couple of months ago. I figured at this point they're certainly not porting it. but lo and behold here it finally is. Oh well, I've grabbed super cheap at least. I swear these companies are doing this shit on purpose
I've eyed Stranger of Sword City pretty much every sale for the past few years since it goes super cheap but for some reason never actually bit the bullet, lucky me.
They don't have to run the sale concurrently even if the Steam version though. It was pretty vague and lax in that iirc. The sale could be earlier or later on Steam.
You're right, but the Rocket Arena example isn't perfect. Valve gives a lot of leeway when it comes to that rule. Throwing an example here, see NieR Automata (GG.Deals Price History / SteamDB price history), which is almost always on sale in some sites yet rarely on Steam.
Dan is an inspired choice.
I played a bunch of Dan in SF4 just because I knew that every single time I won, someone would lose to a Dan and be extra pissed about it.

I suppose what really matters its the full price of the game not if it gets on sale often. It's just a theory because there are many games that rarely get sale on steam but do otherwise on external sites.
Don't play with me Capcom. Give me Dudley.
edit: Dan
I was hoping for Fei Long.
Or C. Viper.
What a letdown.
First season pass I'm not all "Shut up and take my money" about... the Akira inclusion is cool, but the rest... like... I'm supposed to pay money for these?
Also Rose comes back and gets a stage and they've remade a good share of the SF2 stages... yet Ken's stage is still MIA. whatthefuck.

Yeah, but you can already do that with female Dan.
It's not a free update on Vita, and will prolly be just a pre-order bonus for the new game.
Looks like the two-pack format they're doing on Switch is going to apply to Steam as well, so an upgrade looks unlikely.
I feel somewhat the same. Played so many open world big budget / medium budget games over the years ive kind of grown a bit weary of them. Not to say that i dont enjoy the occasional one now and then. I usually get round to a Far Cry once its been out for a while. Haven't touched Ass Creed since 3 (Had Origins, the level progression stopping the main story made me bounce off it after about 15 hours). Im loving Death Stranding which i guess is open world. I'd play Zelda BOTW 2 as 1 was great. GTA and RDR always draw me in.
Its a mixed bag.
It was the era of Orange and Teal movies and games with lots of Brown and a "Piss Filter" over the top of it. Damn, i'm old. lol.
Great games but yeah the aesthetic on some of these has aged badly.
Prototype 2
B10
If you wanna play this, have another game on the side
It is pretty repetitive so do a handful of missions then move onto the other game
Decent overall, but nothing too amazing
Running and flying around is fun though!

Looks like Bethesda raised the price of all their games in my currency. I don't remember paying that much for Prey on sale.
17.5 hours and still on chapter 3 in DS. Gonna be a long game it seems.
SHE
HAS
FUCKING
RETURNED
The monkey's paw, Akira returning in SFV means Rival Schools/Project Justice is as dead as Darkstalkers.
Why do they insist on making Dan suck? That "joke" was stale 25 years ago and he was actually decent in the first Alpha/Zero.
Almost Choice day again. Let the speculation begin!
Personally, I'm hoping for somethinh semi-high profile anime, it feels like Choice hasn't had many of those at all (I can only think of Okami and Street Fighter 4?).
Something Bamco would be cool (God Eater 3, Code Vein, Ace Combat, Ni no Kuni,....)

Ahh. I was mistaken anyway. I thought the base price was different. It said 5 euros on the button, but I had another look and saw it was discounted from 30.
4 racing games, 3 puzzle games, something someone in this thread just bought for full price that is just out of refund and like 4 random games they threw darts at on a big giant board
Sounds spot on. Have you got an Uncle that works at Humble by any chance? 
I've been enjoying Fall Guys a lot even though I'm still getting some randoms disconnects.
By the way, I have discovered that I had been permanently banned for spam from the forum of PC Gamer. I think I have posted there 3 times in total.
I cannot access any information about the ban. I was not even aware of it. It might have happened months ago. I suspect it was because I must have posted a link to Steam250 (do not ban me here) in a thread about hidden gems. I am not affiliated with this website, it is just a site which I like to browse a bit every day.
I have tried to appeal the ban by contacting their email address, but it looks like I will be permanently ignored. I guess I won't be reading PC Gamer anymore.
I hate how horseshit commercial interest communities are about not linking other sites. Because god forbid they not earn 1 one billionth of a penny in a non-zero-sum situation. If anyone else profits even slightly in any way other than their CEO, they are out for blood.
Humble choice tomorrow will be Skyrim, Alan Wake and FTL.
And you will like it.
And you will like it.
At that point they'll just release the old racing games again! Like a circle! Because Racing games come back around for another lap!They must run out of racing games eventually, right
I have replayed through the entire GDI Campain in C&C Remastered. What a fun silly thing. Those last couple missions are pretty tough on Normal even (maybe its my boomer-level reflexes), they really like to hit you with random hidden units on the map, ugh.
Thankfully the all-time old strat of APC full of Engineers will work forever on the AI. Just distract their turrets, drive to the back of the base and capture as many buildings as you can for GG. If you get the Con Yard + Barracks or Vehicle Depot its over 99% of the time.

Yay, Umbrella Academy Season 2 is out
I already finished it >.>
Try some new stuff like Warrior Nun, Brave New World, Cursed (not watched yet, some seem promising)
Can't wait for The Boys Season 2
I wouldn't be surprised if it's more difficult for Humble to get certain games because it's an upfront bundle now. They seem to make a lot of publisher deals for multiple games across months, so I bet we could guess a few.
Dan looks really good from the footage we've seen, for one thing he is able to charge his gadu-ken.
I don't play fighting games that often, but my fondest memories of Dan was in Pocket Fighter. He was my favorite lol.
This sounds eerily accurate.

We have a spy!
How can this be?!
