Anyone interested in RTS games, and in need of another game should have a look at Supreme Commander 2 at this price. It´s certainly no Starcraft 2 in terms of polish, but it´s still quite fun. It has a great camera control that all RTS games like this should have, nice graphics, an interesting research system and hillarious experimental units.

I loved the total annihilation back in the day. Does Supreme Commander still have the crazy massive build up of tech and units?

For $6 for both I can't see I could go wrong....

Who has played Supreme Commander 2? I'd like to hear more about the game from people who have played it.

Edit: I didn't read the other post, derp. Well I might bite it...

Is it worth it if you have SupCom 1 though?

Strange, Bulletstorm is 50 euro over here. US is only getting shafted?
Click to expand...
I'd much rather pay 60 dollars than 50 euros for something.

Unless you mean that Europe is getting screwed too.

I just got gifted Bulletstorm. I accepted it, and when it asked me to install it I declined as 7gb would push me over my bandwidth limit this month. Now it's not in my game library and when I click the link in my email to redeem the gift it says it fails because I've always accepted.

Restarted Steam, but nadda.

So... common issue? Steam support ticket, is it?

One nice thing about SC2 is that it supports 2 screens. You've got a giant map on one and your full gamescreen on the other.

how long ago did you accept the gift? you might have to wait a bit longer. i'm surprised it asked you to install it, is it up for pre-load already?

Like 10 minutes ago. I don't know if the pre-load is up, but regardless it should show up in my library, as pre-ordered games do etc.

I'll leave it 20 before opening a ticket.

60$ :(

Indeed. Pass on $60.

I refuse to accept that as a standard price for a PC game. This and Bulletstorm can fuck off until they go on sale or their prices drop to something reasonable.

Friday, Saturday and Sunday will probably be Tomb Raider, Kane and Lynch and Deus Ex. No cheap Last Remnant for me. ;_;

Kind of lucky EA hasn't done the same with the price increase in the UK as in the US.

However Activision are the ones doing it over here.

I nearly bought Civ V last night. Thank the Steam gods I didn't make that decision. Had it happen at least once before where I bought a game a day before it went on sale, and Valve isn't friendly about refunds.

Bought it today though with the discount. :D

Jeez what the hell EA. I feel like I have to by Crysis 2 but on the other hand I feel like I have to take a stand against this $60 bullshit, what the hell EA. Why are you doing this shit to me?

Edit: Also its quiet shocking that I am more interested in buying a new FPS on pc rather than a Bioware RPG. Whats happening to me.

The worst part is there will probably be 2 or 3 $10 map packs that'll get rolled into a GOTY by Christmas.

Id be angry if those were single player map packs. Honestly couldn't care less about MP for this game, the singleplayer in Crysis can probably last me forever.

If anything, they should drop the price of the console version.

If you really liked Supreme Commander 1, want more, and don´t have a Steam backlog of 40+ games, then for this price, yes.

SupCom1 has a superior resource management system, but SupCom2 has a really fun research system that you should at least try for a couple of hours if you´re a SupCom fan. For this price. I mean, here in Sweden, a pizza costs more than this game does right now.

Crysis 2 for $60 would have been so much easier to stomach if it was only coming out on the PC, but knowing its a console port, it hurts so much more.

I don't understand. The PC version is going to look and run 100x better than the console version. It's not like PC owners are getting the shaft in any way, shape, or form.

60$ console tax. For me it doesn't really matter if it's on PC or not, but I refuse to pay console-price if I'm buying a PC game. There is no justification for that.

If Crysis 2 was to be only on PC a lot of people would have let it go, even at $60. However, if you have extra revenue from PS3/X360 versions - ffs, you want to squizee PC crowd? No way.

It's a local non-US retailer so there might be some region pricing going on, it's probably not going to apply for you.

After thinking about it, I am surprised that I agree with you. The only reason this price point bugs me is because the console versions are being sold at $60 as well.

I'm still not sure about this. Has there been any detailed coverage or impressions of the PC version?

If it doesn't then Crytek should fire everyone that worked on the PC port, because the original already does.

I'm fortunately not as weak-willed as others.

I will be holding off on Crysis 2 until the price actually reasonable for both a digital & PC release.
