Topic: The Unofficial Steam Sales Thread

Well, I guess I can run the Tomb Raider games, might get Anniversary. The demo was fun.

Braid is 2.99 if you missed it when it was cheaper like I did.

It is fun, and even better when you have a PC controller. I recommend it.

Because I'm feeling generous, I've decided to either gift Braid or a $3 Genesis game for two people! So, who wants Braid/a Genesis game?

Meeee! I'll go with a Genesis game. Lemme decide. But yeah, I would get Braid, but it needs Pixel Shader 2 I want Gunstar Heroes.

I can run Braid on a netbook. If you can run Half-Life 2 Lost Coast on the lowest settings and get a solid 60 FPS, then you should be able to run Braid at a decent FPS.

@V8 Ninja I'd still rather have a game I absolutely know I can run, like Gunstar Heroes. I'll try the Braid demo later.

@Xhkaoz Okay, it's Gunstars Heroes then.

So, who will be the first one to come up to the bat to claim the second free game?

I'll take it if no one's biting So, V8, when are you gonna send it to me? I was hoping I could play it before school, but ah well.

@Xkhaoz I want to plan both of the sales at the same time for convenience's sake. As for you getting the second game, I want to wait a little longer before I give it to you.

Alright. I'm good at waiting.
_{Xkhaoz eats himself up inside from waiting}

I'll take the second Genesis game, please (already have Braid)! Gunstar Heroes sounds great.

Alright, both Gunstar Heroes for Odnetnin and Xkhaoz. Just wait a few minutes and you should both see an email from Steam about the gifted game. Have fun with them. =3

@Odnetnin I'm going to need the link to your Steam page or your Email address in order to gift you the game.

Ugh, the controls for Gunstar Heroes are confusing. Does anyone else have it that can explain them to me? Otherwise, it's a great game. BTW does anyone have a good PC controller that they'd recommend?

@Xkhaoz: XBOX 360 controller is sturdy and works swell. I have no problem with the D-Pad

Your best bet is generally with the Xbox controller. If a game supports controllers, it will support the Xbox controller. Making it usually much simpler.

Also, I remember Gunstar Heroes having a ton of different moves available that were not necessarily obvious right away. Not that I remember those moves now though...

Also, is too late to ask for Ristar instead? If so, that's okay, but otherwise I'd rather have that.

Oh dang. That Ubi pack is a pretty good deal. too bad I can't run any of those games.

@Odnetnin Don't worry, it's not too late to get Ristar. You'll see the game gifted to you in a few short minutes.

EDIT: The game has been gifted! Enjoy the experience while it lasts. =3
