At first I thought that caption said kpoopgirlgroup-party...

It goes without saying how disappointed I am
 
Any thoughts on Orcs Must Die 2? Tempted to grab the bundle with the first game and dlc for $8. I played the demo of the first on XBLA but never grabbed it due to the sequel being PC only. Now that I have a Pc...

I think if you liked the demo of the first you'll like it. It's more of the same but with more traps, more locations, more enemies. It's more Orcs Must Die which is a good thing.
 
But what if you are serious? :P

Also, how are the instruments that come with it?

Then it's still fun to mess around with! Especially if you have a touch screen. I mean it's obviously not Logic or Cubase or anything, it's 50 bucks base price. It's just fun to play with for a little.

The instruments are alright. I've only messed around with it on a friends computer, but from what I remember they weren't dreadful.

Fantastic in co-op, not quiet as good in single player

I never met anyone who didn't like OMD1 or 2 but 2 is probably enough because everything is better there. It also has some levels from 1.


Hey guy, very short, easy and uninteresting. I got it for free thanks to GAF so I can't complain but even at the low price... don't know.
 
Ok, why do I keep getting Kerbal space program cards? It's like the fifth one I got... I only need the TR one to complete the summer seal badge, stop giving me Kerbal!

If you haven't played dungeon defenders, get that instead. Much better, same gameplay.
 
So then,

Welcome to steam sale addicts anonymous. I'll go first

Hi, my names HT01 and for the 4th time this sale I've gone to buy a game at it was such a good deal I'd be daft not to, even though I've already picked up 16 already so far to add to the backlog, only to find out I already own it.

I just felt so stupid that I now have such a backlog I can't even remember what's in there.

Who's next?
 
EDIT: Nothing to see here. Not anymore, atleast!
 
I see what you did there..

Thanks for the info though. I'll need to do some research when I get home..

I mean it's a $50 DAW haha. Cakewalk is pretty good at keeping the quality decent though.

I haven't tried any of the instrument packs/DLC, but I assume they're better than the base.

Don't listen to this guy.

OMD 1 and 2 are completely different games than Dungeon Defenders.

Only get Dungeon Defenders if you like slow, plodding gameplay with a terrible interface and a long ramp up to feeling powerful. But even when you do feel powerful (many hours into the game) everything is still too slow.

It's like the Skylanders of Tower Defense games.

OMD in comparison is almost the exact opposite in the genre of Tower Defense. There are no item drops, no slow ass levels, no awful interface screens.
 
Also sorry about the rash comment earlier guys. I had just woken up and wasn't really thinking and wanted Steam sales bad and everything sucks right now.

I apologize if anyone was offended.

Opinions my friend.

That was exactly my impression after playing the demo. Soooo slooooowwwww. While OMD is fun as soon as you start playing.
 
I agree with Orcs Must Die > Dungeon Defenders. Dungeon Defenders is confusing and clunky from my experience playing it.

I like both games, and I disagree with some of your criticism of DD. I can't imagine why anyone would call them the same game though. The gameplay is very different.

OMD1 was one of my favorite games of... 2011? I think I put over 30 hours into it and loved all of it.
However, OMD2, even though it is basically just OMD1+MORE, seems a tiny bit too convoluted. I just haven't been able to get into it the same way I got into OMD1.
With that said, I'd probably still recommend getting that complete pack that comes with 1 and 2 and all the DLC, but I definitely wouldn't skip playing the 1st game. And if you're on the edge about spending $8, then I can 100% recommend just buying the OMD1 base game for $2.50 or whatever it costs.
 
I know we had our differences during this Sale Steam, but just give me a daily on Farming Simulator tonight and all will be forgiven. The I no longer really have to pay attention to the sales.

The gameplay is so shallow in DD.

Set down traps, then hold left mouse button...

OMD has two different weapons, tons of spells, and more.
