Indie Variety Pack looks fantastic, but I probably won't be playing Swords and Soldiers and Atom Zombie Smasher. If I buy the package, I can gift the separate titles, right?

If so, anyone interested in S&S and AZS?

I would be interested in this too, I couldn't care less about the zombie game or Machinarium.

Edit: Damn. Still a good deal though.

Indie Variety Pack is awesome but I own half of it already. Damnit :\

 

[RealMeat]

Alliance of Valiant Arms is really good, it's like a combination of CoD and MGO. One thing that's really great about these F2P games is the high framerate!

Is it possible to log in to with your steam account? I launched it and it looked like it wanted me to create an account for the game.

 

[Forkball]

I'll pass on the Indie games. The only one that seems really interesting is Capsized.

Wasn't there huge backlash from GAF?

 

[leadbelly]

Except BF3 nor Alice were ever on these stores to begin with. D2D speaking out of its ass.

Well, Alice is on D2D, but of course BF3 isn't, yet. D2D are certainly taking as much advantage of the situation as they can, that's for sure.

 

[coopolon]

I was looking at the bullet points for Two Worlds II Castle Defense, seeing if there were any redeeming qualities about it.

One of the bullet points was :

*Individual graphics and sound settings

I found this really amusing.

Good for them, they certainly could use all the help they can get.

Brink still shows up on Steam for me.

 

[jaundicejuice]

I actually wouldn't be mad if they removed Brink from my library, sadly it's still there.

 

[hamchan]

Brink is only removed in the UK I think.

 

[Oreoleo]

Brink still shows up on Steam for me.

It's not on UK Steam.

 

[Princess Skittles]

Oh? Turth be told, A.R.E.S. is the one I really want.

Maybe I should wait for the summer sale then, hmm.

 

[scitek]

Man, I thought D2D wasn't as evil now that they're owned by Gamefly and not News Corp.

EDIT: The "Not available on Steam" thing isn't what I'm talking about. I've just seen people on various boards acting like they're still a repulsive service or something.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

I found this really amusing.

Unfortunately, that is a selling point for PC games these days.

I hate it when games have gimped options.

 

[Stitch]

noooo fucking indie pack. i bought atom zombie smashers just a few days ago

oh well... it's cool, just either too hard or too easy lol

 

[1-D_FTW]

Wasn't there huge backlash from GAF?

Was there? I didn't care for the demo, but I thought I was in the minority. I'd definitively play before buying, because the beautiful graphics can mesmerize some shortcomings.

Still, five games for 10 bucks is pretty great. Even though it seems like one of the best indie packs Steam has ever had, I'll probably pass. None of the games would crack my "Top 50 Most Want to Play" list. I need to regain some sanity in my purchasing habits.

 

[Blizzard]

Wasn't there huge backlash from GAF?

Search up the thread. I think it was like a 3-page OT where some people said they didn't like the controls or other problems. It didn't strike me as a huge backlash. =P

I already own at least two of the variety pack so I am not sure the rest are worth $10 for me. I'll take a look later.

Is Swords and Soldiers that game that had the terrible trailer where they referred to the Chinese as the "Sneaky Chinese" or whatever? I remember getting a laugh out of that.

Swords and Soldiers is kind of like Punch-Out in that it makes use of all kinds of stereotypes, but nobody seems to care because it's so lighthearted. It's also a fun game so that probably helps.

 

[Detox]

Swords & Soldiers was awesome on the Wii, I assume it works well on the PC. EDGE gave it a 8/10 if that helps.

 

[Zzoram]

Is D2D still owned by Fox or did someone buy it?

 

[Eusis]

Is D2D still owned by Fox or did someone buy it?

Bought by GameFly. I think it's even advertised on their site's front page.

 

[erpg]

Gamefly.

What is the early consensus on Dungeon Siege 3? Steamplay means I can get this for $38 from D2D.

I am in the mood for an action RPG, but I am on the fence, and don't really have the time to download/play the demo before Tuesday.

 

[Sanic]

Why was Brink removed from the UK store? I know it happened some time ago, but I never caught the reason.

Download the demo before you buy it. Seriously.

 

[e_i]

F.E.A.R. Collection for $9.99 looks like it's probably the weekend deal (just not listed on the front page yet).

I really own F.E.A.R. collection (w/o F.E.A.R. 2), so it says I get no giftable copies with it. So, 9.99 for F.E.A.R. 2 and DLC.

 

[Marsipolami]

Too bad there aren't any individual sales as I'm really only interested in Capsized.

 

[plc268]

Beat Hazard Ultra is freaking awesome. Adds a ton of new enemy types and multiplayer.

I didn't care too much for the original Beat Hazard, but I gotta say, gameplays is MUCH more interesting and varied now. I highly suggest anyone who already has Beat Hazard to get Ultra.

Wasn't there huge backlash from GAF?

Yea, a little bit. Capsized was hyped up, and a lot of people bought the game sight unseen (including me) and were disappointed. It's not a bad game though. You gotta treat it like a 2d fps style game and understand that using a controller isn't ideal.

 

[Princess Skittles]

Wait for Torchlight II.

 

[Sanic]

Yeah, same. After looking through the variety pack, the only games I would be interested in are Capsized and maybe Swords and Soldiers. Undecided if i'll buy the pack or not.

I did not like the demo.

 

[nyong]

There isn't a single game in that indie variety pack that I don't want. But it would be reckless of me to spend money right now. Will responsibility triumph over desire? Stay tuned....

 

[CecilRousso]

Well, Alice is on D2D, but of course BF3 isn't, yet. D2D are certainly taking as much advantage of the situation as they can, that's for sure.

Pathetic. Desperate signs from a a desperate company.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Err, is D2D really "desperate"? Aren't they the second biggest digital PC distro next to Steam?

 

[Erasus]

FEAR pack is a great deal! Got them already but get them at that price omg

 

[The Elite]

Pathetic. Desperate signs from a a desperate company.

That's fair competition.

 

[StuBurns]

Brink you say? What a blow to the community.

EDIT: Brink is Bethesda though?

 

[CecilRousso]

Err, is D2D really "desperate"? Aren't they the second biggest digital PC distro next to Steam?

Second yes, but not even close, which the signs show.

 

[nexen]

Why do I want Alice so badly? I know it is mediocre but ... something about it.

 

[Echoplx]

Brink you say? What a blow to the community.

EDIT: Brink is Bethesda though?

And it's even funnier because the game is Steamworks.

 

[nexen]

And it's even funnier because the game is Steamworks.

It is? wtf? This is a surreal new development in DD.

 

[CecilRousso]

That's fair competition.

Fair as in allowed yes.

Even though I find it odd that they show me those signs when I access their page from here in Sweden, where Brink and Hunted are sold on Steam.

 

[Quake1028]

I thought Torchlight was Steamworks?

 

[Princess Skittles]

I thought Torchlight was Steamworks?

I thought Steamworks only meant it was "Buy Once, Play on PC and Mac."

There seems to be some confusion about the label.

 

[Nabs]

You're thinking of Steamplay. Steamworks

No that's Steamplay

 

[gotee12]

I believe you're thinking of SteamPlay (Mac/Win)

Steamworks (in my experience) always means that the game is only registerable/downloadable via Steam.
