Was max payne 3 a disappointment when compare to the others in the series?

Nope, amazing game, best TPS ever a lot of people think.

Old max fans don't like the story.

Anyone plays Darkest Dungeon and can vouch for its legitimacy?

I have a love/hate relation with DD. But it's more love than hate

 

[Nzyme32]

The pressure from you guys was enough for me to get Tales of the Borderlands.

Usually really like the TellTale games, so hoping its a good choice despite having no affinity for Borderlands with the exception of playing it in coop with friends

 

[L4DANathan]

Is the campaign in World at War any good? I want to play a WW2 fps.

Also, how does Verdun play? From what I've seen it looks clunky, but maybe it plays better than it looks?

Verdun aims for more realistic gameplay, so it's kinda clunky, yeah. I think it would be a decent game if they had any community longevity or worked to stop the hackers. Been a while since I played though, so I can't speak to whether the problems are still there.

Very good, Very RNG based. Prepare to die a lot.

 

[theRizzle]

edited post, I passed on other sales because I have money for it in my steam wallet, and would much rather use that.

Gift me something for the same price off Steam and I'll gift you Mad Max

PM me if you're interested

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Uh... any Reason RE5 is not being removed from the bundle even though I already own it?

 

[~Kinggi~]

Was max payne 3 a disappointment when compare to the others in the series?

I was a rare snowflake and loved the original games and also loved the 3rd one. At the very least, i can say it plays very well, and looks very expensive. Lots of effort went into it. Also the music soundtrack was amazing.

 

[theRizzle]

That's up to the Publisher whether they want to allow that functionality. It's not inherent to Steam unfortunately.

Was max payne 3 a disappointment when compare to the others in the series?

Gameplay great, just like the first and second.
Writing, characters, story, atmosphere and cutscenes all much worse then the first and second.
Not a bad game. Just not a classic like the older ones.

 

[Rrang129]

Enter The Gungeon

Thanks!!

I read people complaining about the RNG after a few updates, it's still the case?

 

[LogicStep]

I never played Vanishing of Ethan Carter and I see there is a VR version. I think I'll grab that and play it whenever I get a VR headset.

Loved Max Payne 3. a LOT.

I love the first two as well.

Considering Grandia 2.

I don't know if I'll get around to playing it though.

Im trying to break down the math on this but it isn't working

It's very enjoyable initially but it overstays its welcome by quite a bit. It ends up being too repetitive and grindy and fairly often makes the mistake of confusing obtuseness (especially in its UI) and "unfairness" with difficulty (e.g the new invasion town event). Still, you'll get a good few hours out of it before those problems become an issue.

 

[Ronabo]

I can't find a 8bit looking Castlevania style game I remember seeing someone recommend last sale.

 

[TheLetdown]

You won't need it. I played a few hours of the series at the most and this game landed very highly on my GOTY.

Just a well written, well executed narrative that is funny without being dumb, with slight pulls at the emotional strings that get used to te story's advantage.

 

[Soulflarz]

the math never works for the prices I pay on steam and it drives people insane :3

Like 8 bucks more where I live lol

 

[Kvik]

You will have fun with it... for a while. Then it will crush you and you will hate it with every ounce of your being.

You mean, Dankest Dungeon? It's dope. Definitely pick it up if you're interested.

Hmm. will add to cart and watch a couple LPs for now, thanks guys.

 

[Shalashaska]

Well I've wanted Brave New World for a while..

Glad I looked at the bundle first.

 

[TheSeks]

Was max payne 3 a disappointment when compare to the others in the series?

Yes, easily. If you haven't played Max Payne 1-2, go play those. Avoid Pax Mayne 3.

 

[Kaleinc]

Nope, amazing game, best TPS ever a lot of people think.

No

 

[pretty done]

Is there any way to get rid of the VR tab in the Steam library? It shouldn't bother me but it does, even moreso than Capcom's ridiculous naming scheme for RE games.

 

[Icanplaythat]

Sweet lord, for how months/years is GTA V going to be a top seller?

It's mind-blowing.

 

[General_Frags]

I was checking through my inventory earlier and I realised someone gifted me a Russian gift of Dark Souls 2 Season Pass some time ago and I had not activated it. Is it safe for me to use a VPN to activate it even though my copy of Dark Souls 2 is UK?

Just wondering, I will probably pick up Scholar of the first sin anyways in the sale.

I've played a grand total of about 4 hours spread across all of the Borderlands games, and TftB is BY FAR the best TellTale game of that style, in my opinion. If anything, the TellTale game gave me a little more affinity for Borderlands. If you like the other games, you will surely like this one.

 

[Speevy]

8 bit looking Castlevania style...

That could be a lot of things.

Is it Castle in the Darkness?

Guys, I've been hitting the Parodius series up hard this past week and I demand more shmups, any good ones on Steam apart from Jamestown (is the DLC worth it?) and Astebreed? No bullet hells, I think Parodius poses a serious challenge :lol.



Good haul, Necrodancer is amazing. Rise of Nations is amazing too, one of my favourite RTS games ever made, has an amazing OST as well. Cities is fantastic as well and while I only played the demo of DOOM, I consider it a great demo.

Try Satazius.

 

[TheSeks]

Sweet lord, for how months/years is GTA V going to be a top seller?

I really wish it'd go under $30, I'd finally buy it.

Also Dark Souls 2's season pass still hasn't been discounted. WTF, Namco?

 

[El Topo]

I got €5.79 left on Steam. Tell me what to buy.

 

[CHC]

Picked up

+ Shadowrun: Hong Kong
+ Ryse
+ Neon Struct

Might get Doom or Dragon's Dogma later, but they're both a little expensive for me right now. Doom I understand why but still, it will definitely be 20 bucks soon enough.

 

[AsylumX]

So... Any must gets in this sale? Some super discounts?

 

[B-B-Bomba!]

Any opinions on the Castle of Illusion remake?

Brief but very fond memories (of the original) from much younger days ...

 

[-Gozer-]

I can't find a 8bit looking Castlevania style game I remember seeing someone recommend last sale.

Odallus: The Dark Call?

 

[chaosblade]

Not sure if I'll even buy anything this time. Deals are disappointing all-around. A solid third of my wishlist is either not on sale or more expensive than previous sales.

 

[AcridMeat]

PMed you rizzle, thanks for the offer

Oh man, you're going to love it. It'll invest you in that universe way better than any borderlands has before.

Fuck it's amazing.

 

[squadr0n]

Want to get The Witcher 3's last DLC Blood and Wine. Is there any chance it will go down in price this sale? I swear I bought the Expansion Pass, I have every DLC accept Blood & Wine.

 

[Corpekata]

No. Do not activate gifts with VPN.

 

[Khilandros]

hmmm, some tempting games this summer sale.

Any opinions on the Castle of Illusion remake?

It's serviceable. I think it's pretty good, but not excellent. The graphics didn't do it for me, but game is all there and it plays well.

Maybe Steam GAF can help me out as well. I'm looking for a co-op game to play with my friend, who has been asking lately. Trick is, he gets real bad motion sickness from FPS/TPS so all of those games are out. I tried playing Path of Exile and he didn't seem very into it. Also tried to get him to play Civ V with me, didn't work.

Based on that, and the fact that he spends a lot of time playing War Thunder http://store.steampowered.com/app/236390/ (which is not my cup of tea), can anybody make any recommendations? I know that's a challenge. He also played EVE if that helps.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

79 dollars of damage so far. I have about another 40-50 in cart that I am thinking about.
