That's what she said

I actually think it's a pretty decent bundle for its value, at least if you consider it was 6.5€ or 6€ in Europe or Ex-EuroEngland

Edit. Goetia and FFXIII are worth theirselves that price.

Price in UK was definitely better than spending $10 for those two games. We all knew Hitman GO and Hitman Intro would be in this, but I'm disappointed that they gave the middle Legacy of Kain games and one random Tomb Raider.

Disappointed yes, surprised no....I'm only disappointed that they didn't include Life Is Strange.....Episode 2 ONLY...AMIRITE??!?!!?!?!??

Should have included LiS Ep 5 for maximum disappointment.

 

[madjoki]

Yeah, twitch is where devolver does this drops.

Edit: they're still dropping too

 

[Gedemer]

Just got a Shadow Warrior 2 key woop

 

[DD83]

I liked when he said something about CAGs scalping the codes.

Also, he just said there are only two more codes.

Also, he just said there are only two more codes.

The only reason I got that one is because he left those two letters off the front and I left the cursor there...the lower case ones are going crazy fast.

He also has random keys and Gungeon to give away

 

[DD83]

Yeah, I saw that.

I think the only reason I got a code was most people probably already had Gungeon.

Steam Awards finalists have been revealed.

blood and bacon got a nomination. Vote it up

 

[Syntax Error]

I think B&B was the only game I nominated to get to the finals.

 

[jimbofluffy]

Better believe it!

I am disappointed that "Deserves a sequel" didn't make it into the four extra categories.

 

[jimbofluffy]

I think B&B was the only game I nominated to get to the finals.

I might have done Rocket League for 5 more minutes. I nominated it for something.

 

[jimbofluffy]

From the link from the finalists:

VOTING RULES
Every day, from December 22nd to December 29th, starting at 10 AM Pacific, a new category will be available for voting. Each category will only be open for voting for 24 hours before moving onto the next category, so be sure to check in every day to vote! All four write-in categories will be voted on simultaneously on December 30th. On New Year’s Eve, the winners will be announced and we can bask in the collective glory of the 2016 Steam Award Winners!

I read that as the sale starts Thursday.

Prediction: Holiday cards for voting.

 

[BMXJouster]

Mine was the Game Within a Game Award, in which I nominated Witcher 3 cause Gwent is ing awesome.

GUIZE!!!! GUIZE!!!!! WEN DUZ DA SALE START?!?!?!?!?

If you missed Mass Effect 2 for free on Origin like I did, don't be sad, somebody pressed the button too soon.

Here's hoping they give away Bioware points.

I wish I'd gotten a Shadow Warrior 2 key.

I nominated Watchdogs because the "rampage in a giant robot spider" game was probably better than the actual game. Didn't make the cut though.

It's all politics.

 

[Master Miguel]

I am going to futilely hope that the award winners will get an extra discount or something other than just a random " You won steam 2016 X category award" and as such will save my votes for games that aren't .50.

 

[inm8num2]

I bet you can't wait to Enter the Gungan.

Enjoy your discount on Goat Simulator.

As long as they don't speak... why not.

 

[Flowette]

Yes there are deals. Yes there are glitches. Yes there are shitty giveaways of games that you really should own by now.

Nobody cares about that.

Everybody's all about this:

Fox - you truly suck. Like, collossally. You are just... the worst.

Spoiler

Context: until recently I'd never beaten Fox in 5 years of trying. Damn right I'm bragging about pointless shit.

 

[Master Miguel]

Yeah I guess that category really does suck doesn't it.

 

[Reds303]

Anyone who has played a bunch of Fallout 4 have an opinion on whether or not the Season Pass is worth it? I've heard mixed reviews about it, wondering if someone who has played it feels like it was worth the $40-$50.

I rather liked The Lego Movie Game for the "Everything is Awesome" award.

Same here. These were my nominations:

So would you say I am the Cleveland Browns of fantasy football?

Oh, you'll get yours next time we play DBD. Just ask Pengy what I'm capable of.

There used to be a BGCQ league, but BigSpoonyBard didn't renew it this year so I took in the squirrelly British orphan and this is the thanks I got.

In Steam News:

Valve is deprecating (as in removing support for new games) Third Party CD-key support from Steam very early next year.

$40-$50? Nope. $15? Sure, if you liked the base content.

The base building stuff is nice but, unless you're planning on building truly elaborate stuff, you can live with mod content. I had no use for Automatron once I finished it and never made a new robot besides the one you make for the DLC story. Far Harbor is pretty expansive and has considerable new content but it only has new companion dialogue for Nick and the other companions aren't integrated at all (you can bring them but they'll have nothing to say even when they really should). I haven't played the last one yet but from what I've read it's only good if you want to play as a raider.

The collection wouldn't be bad for more traditional Season Pass pricing in the $20 range but not for $40-$50. The value just isn't there.

Third party key as in third-party DRM which requires a key? Source?

 

[madjoki]

Third party CD-keys refers to keys Steam gives out (like Rockstar Social Club).

Is this more in reference to adding a non-steam game i.e. Diablo 3 or Guild Wars 2?
