Really disappointed with Steam lately. The sale being mediocre is whatever, I expect that nowadays, but so many pieces of the platform are still bugged out 3+ days into it. I was browsing my wishlist just now and noticed the numbering is completely broken like it goes from 1 to 4-6 then skips to 10 then 13 and on. Thinking maybe it just didn't correct itself after some purchases the other day I did a manual count and no it's actually missing about 6 games from the total it says at the top. Friend activity page is still bugged too and my purchases from today aren't showing up there. I thankfully haven't had issues purchasing (although it's very slow to work) but my gf has had issues redeeming keys and downloading since cyberpunk came out which was 2 weeks ago now.

I dunno I generally like all these features steam has but if they can't get it working or a sale causes a cascade of problems maybe some fat needs to be trimmed. That or hire some more people to maintain the platform.

Help me cut down my cart. My total is reaching Rs. 6k and I wanna cut it to atmost Rs. 4.5k.
I've written my thought on each against each (Click to zoom in on the picture).

Need suggestions on
  • what all to remove, is unnecessary or might have a better deal later on
  • what NOT to remove, is essential or worth getting.

Blazblue Centralfiction - 90% off, even more with the Meta exclusive discount code. Looks like no discount code works with super sale items
Thanks for the heads up. I've just checked and there are a few more super sale deals.

I really think allyoucanplay super sales are an extraordinary feature on the site. It reminds me a bit of Steam Flash sales years ago.

I believe most deals are 0.33€ more expensive than the last time they were on super sale like "MAD MAX". So if you don't mind paying extra 0.33€ and really want any there are a few examples like these:

I haven't experienced these issues myself, but I've had bugged entries on my wishlist before. Unless you're just talking about the order (which you can reset by dragging one item in the wishlist) the bugged entries are often caused by deleted store pages.

You can find any deleted entries in your wishlist here:


And here's how you delete the deleted entries:

Yakuza Clan Creator DLC - This is really not worth it, specially for it's price.

Pixeljunk Shooter Ultimate is excellent and actually contains 1 & 2, so it's an even greater deal than one might expect. What a savings!
Subnautica, the first one, isn't getting a price increase, Below Zero, the sequel that is still in EA is. So there's no pressure to get it right away.

Unknown Worlds announced the price increase to the original Subnautica along with the price increase of Below Zero:

Additionally, in conjunction with Below Zero’s price change, the price of Subnautica will also be increased from $24.99 to $29.99 across all PC storefronts (Steam, Epic, Discord, Humble.)

Increasing the price of an almost 3 year old game what? Did they pump out a lot of free DLC or are they just being cunts?
Removed.
Anything more?
Uhh nothing I can particularly vouch/unvouch for. There's also Killer 7 since you've never played a Suda game but that game is great so idk

Thanks I'll take a look at it. Just a lot of annoying little bugs adding up and frustrating me.

Can't say much because I'm not an expert on the games listed there but I saw a lot of "collect DLCs" comments so if you really need to cut down some I would definitely start with those "complete the game DLCs", assuming its for collector's purpose.

Oh that blows. And scummy as all hell, it's not like they have added new content to it or something lately, and that the announcement is only on the Below Zero news, not Subnautica news. Fuckers.

edit: Looked into it, found this from the dev.
Also, regarding the price increase for Subnautica, we are continuing to actively work on it. Patches are still coming - we've been working on a lot in conjunction with all of the Switch work, to improve and optimize the performance. We want to keep the quality of both games on par with each other, which is reflected in matching the prices. Once Below Zero is ready to launch/launched, we will also likely give an overarching update of what our plans for continued support on both games will be moving forward.
Reads like paid patches.

Warhammer Total War 2 is good, and you have the first already... but mechanically if you don't like other Total Wars, I dunno.
Try the first one at least, and if you like it, buy the second with the bajillion DLC available. Until then, nah.

Yeah, the lack of purchased content on the activity feed is really annoying.

Remove

Battletech - That reasoning makes it seem like a no go. Wait until it's cheaper so you'll have cheaper and full product. Doesn't include two piece of DLC so you'll have to buy even more if you're a collector. Base game and all three DLC have been in bundles.
VA-11 Hall-A - Can go cheaper. Has been in a bundle
Icey - Can go cheaper. About two hours so kind of short.
Gorogoa - Nice experience but again really short. Around two hours or lower. No replay value.
Fullbright Collection - Both have been in bundles. Tacoma is in one right now. Could probably trade for it if you use any of those trading websites.
The Last Express Gold Edition -Been bundled a lot. Will likely bundled again. Probably easily traded.
Total War: Warhammer 2 - There's the first game that is cheaper and has been bundled twice. Can try to score a key on a trade website to try the series. Hard sale for me to try to get into a game series with a lot of DLC where you MIGHT like it and only because of the theme of it, if you didn't like the gameplay of the other series.

Keep

Killer 7 - Love Suda stuff
Black Bird - I want Moon RPG Remix as well.

2 options.
1. Wait till cart glitches out and self empties.
2. I don't see 'I really want to play this' - you can safely empty the whole cart. I saved you Rs. 6k :steam_cleanseal:

Looks like Carrion has a free holiday mission
unless it goes the other way around(humor)...meh. Was incredibly disappointed with Carrion. feels like a an elevator pitch that only needed 2h max to work, was stretched to 6, and didn't really present anything new.
that said, really good, from a tech pov.

Subnautica Below Zero is actually in early access, so it getting a price increase once leaving early access is common among some indie games.
How much along is it? I heard they scrapped the whole story half a year ago because of leadership change or something?

Subnautica: Below Zero is getting closer than ever to being ready for launch. We are aiming to release 1.0 in the early part of 2021 - as some of you might have guessed from our Nintendo Switch announcement - but still have bug fixing, optimizing, and further fine-tuning to do before it’s ready for launch on all platforms.

With the release on the horizon, we will be increasing the price of Below Zero to $29.99 (USD) across all PC storefronts (Steam, Epic, Discord, Humble) on January 5th, 2021.
Well yes, I was talking about the price hike for the original Subnautica lol
D'oh my bad :surrenderblob:
