HEY EVERYBODY TONY BE GIVING AWAY FREE SHIT

 

[Megasoum]

Hey guys...so Spec Ops: The Line. Is it a good game or is it just a Dubai Gears of war? I'm really wondering here.

 

[Amazon Video Gamer]

Is all I saw

Damn, lol. Now THAT would get me to play and review a game I have no interest in atm, haha. Don't you dare not to follow up with a review kswiston! Convince me I need to buy it!

Lol, what you did there Megasoum, I see it . Waiting to hear back from kswiston!

Cheers,

Tell you what, if you promise to download, play, and then come back and tell the rest of 'Gaf what you think about it before 7/7 (so people know before next weekend) I will PM you a key for it right now.

Let me know if you're interested.

Cheers,
Tony

Disclaimer, I'll be buying this key personally so this is not an Amazon giveaway type thing

Id totes do this ton-bro

I'd actually buy it if someone wants $10 in paypal in exchange for it, so im putting that out there (only way I can buy it from the amazon overlords)

I think Binary Domain is really enjoyable, but the gameplay is exactly like Gears of War. I didn't like Gears of War because of its bland military characters, bland aliens invade story, and bland caves and war torn environments and so Binary Domain worked out great for me because those things are its strong points.

They could have done better then the find cover and shoot until your screen turns red then stop and wait until you screen turns normal, and then shoot again, but thats what shooters are today. At least they have a lot of crazy boss fights and random one off gameplay segments that really mix up the action.

Basically if you can stand any sort of cover based shooter and want a fun, unpredictable summer blockbuster movie type of game to play for 8 hours, then Binary Domain for 10 dollars is a great deal.

 

[Glass Rebel]

nvm

someone made a lazy version of this joke

 

[Discotheque]

do you recommend controller or kb/m for this game? (Binary Domain)

 

[Salsa]

So. Max Payne 3. Is it lauded on GAF because it is a more Western Vanquish, or because it is legitimately good? Would I like it if I disliked vanquis? I am not completely against third-person shooters (I liked Lost Planet, Uncharted, etc). Vanquish just rubbed me the wrong way (really enjoyed Bulletstorm though).

you got beaten at your own lame ass joke

 

[Glass Rebel]

I don't mind, at least I get to buy stuff from Amazon.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

Pulled the trigger on Red Alert 3. I'm down to $10 in my Steam Wallet. Sure hope the sale gets here soon or I won't have anything left.

Must. Hold. Out. A. Little. Longer.

 

[1-D_FTW]

Looking forward to seeing the review then. Because I used to love Nagoshi games and the gaf praise for the game was off the hook, but the demo completely turned me off. Big time. It did seem like a second rate GoW knockoff (or maybe it was first rate. I hate GoW and wouldn't know what was a great clone and what was second rate).

EDIT: Seeing some of those further impressions leads me to believe my instincts were right. Still curious if I can be swayed. But I doubt it.

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

Hey guys...so Spec Ops: The Line. Is it a good game or is it just a Dubai Gears of war? I'm really wondering here.

I had absolutely zero interest in it, writing it off as just another shooting foreigners while using ludicrously expensive US military/industrial equipment FPS until I read the RPS review and am now pretty interested in playing it (after a massive discount in 6 months time admittedly)

 

[Megasoum]

Oh SNNAAAPPPPP




oh wait...I can't buy stuff from Amazon either... Now that's a bummer lol.

Deal.

If I like the game, I will pay your generosity forward.

EDIT: actually, I will do so either way. If I don't like the game, I will just choose something I do like to gift.

 

[Giran]

Any first impressions on Endless Space? It gives me some Imperium Galactica vibes, which is great, but so does Legends of Pegasus. Plus having a campaign is a big plus for me. I'm tempted to wait until that game comes out and see which on is better.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

So I was cutting steaks when it dawned upon me - steaks start with an S.

STEAM SALE IS COMING CONFIRMED!

[Dice]

I have a good feeling about Spec Ops but not about Binary Domain. I have their demos. I should probably play them.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

No sale today?

How unpatriotic.

I just PMed you both keys for Binary Domain, sounds like a game that should be played, at least in part, with another person for the full experience. No obligation to friend each other and play, but it might be cool to get the multiplayer perspective too.

Excited to see what you guys come back with.

Cheers,
Tony

FYI: I don't do stuff like this often, because it is out of pocket for me, but I'm always down to see how the community reacts to new stuff. Happy 4th of July everyone (everyone who cares it is the 4th of July that is).

 

[kami_sama]

I just got the x-com pack from amazon, but I don't know from which game start, can someone guide me?

 

[kswiston]

Thanks Tony. How Long to Beat tells me the game is 8-10 hours. Will try to get it finished and reviewed by Friday.

Like I said, if this ends up being a game I feel is worth the $10, I'll buy a key myself and give it away to GAF. If not I'll choose something else.

 

[Pharoah]

"Magical Drop V is coming to Steam later this summer."

It just got updated in the registry like yesterday, I'm guessing it's pretty close. It's being done by Arkedo and Golgoth Studio, I visited the Golgoth site and apparantly that Toki remake they're doing is also still happening.

No it's not. Arkedo did not make this game. We helped at the very beginning, years ago, from prototype to alpha. No idea what it has become.

 

[Pharoah]

DAMMIT DOUBLE POST

 

[Glass Rebel]

welcome to the future my friend

whatevs man I need me some Hell Yeah! on Steam

 

[YianGaruga]

I think I'll wait for the results of this "experiment" before I buy Binary Domain or not. Definitely intersted, but not convinced that it's a good game yet.

You my friend, have captured the point of the experiment!

[Dog Problems]

You and me both.

 

[Spazo]

Binary Domain
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light
Supreme Commander 2
Kane and Lynch 2
Just Cause 2
Tomb Raider: Underworld
Red Alert 3

All that for 23 bucks!! Gota love sales !!

 

[Lemon Crest]

I cracked and got L4D2.

I broke the rule guys.

 

[ctrayne]

Binary Domain is ridiculous and totally lovable. Great cast, goofy plot, solid action, crazy locations. Innovative it is not - fun it is.

 

[Dice]

You broke more than one rule. There are probably like 20+ gaffers with a spare copy who could have given you a better deal than full price.

Yep. I've said before on here but it and Vanquish are the best shooters I've played this generation.

Picked up BD. I can't lose for 10 bucks!

You only get three chances friend. 1st, 2nd and 4th.

I'm a big fan of the C&C series and I just bought RA3: Uprising since it's the only game I haven't played. I would say the C&C3 games are the best ones on Steam but honestly RA3 isn't that far back. It's got an amazing two player campaign that I had a lot of fun with, and the classic real acting cutscenes are actually the best in a long time (much better than in C&C3/4). My only disappointment in the game is that there are barely any classic RA units; most are new or updated versions, and the Japanese feels a bit out of place. However, there's a total conversion mod that brings back the old units, although I have yet to try it.

Uprising does not feature any co-op for some reason, but it has a few new campaigns with the same style of cutscenes so I'm looking forward to playing it And yeah, C&C4 is not that great but at least it has co-op campaigns as well, although they are really, really short. Only buy it if you have played the others already, I'd say.

 

[drizzle]

I wish I would have know that now.

Are you like, Crazy? It's already 15 bucks. On the sale it's probably going to be 5 bucks. Or, more realistically, 3,75 (since that's 75% off 15)

I... I just don't get it.

 

[Wazzim]

Got Red Alert because why not.

Talking about the Summer Sale, I just want it to be behind us already. I really hate spending my money and am kinda not looking forward to it (hate/love).

 

[Zaphod]

I just got the x-com pack from amazon, but I don't know from which game start, can someone guide me?

The first one 'Enemy Unknown'.

Terror from the Deep is similar but also harder.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Installing Boot Camp on my MBA because I'm travelling and still want to be able to get achievements when the summer sale starts. How embarrassing.

 

[goodfella]

Express hesitant interest in game... receive game?

Nah, nice to see some GAF love.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Can't believe Raccoon city isn't on sale yet lol. I'd totally get it for $2

My steam library is pretty small and I wanted play something.

it's capcom

Once it is on sale you'll say, "That's it!?"

Capcom's sales suck.

And there goes another rule.

 

[fluffydelusions]

I don't recall how good/bad Capcom sales are but I have SF IV. Not sure what I paid but definitely got it on sale at some point. Wouldn't have gotten it otherwise.

 

[ShaneB]

Some of these people will spend 10 times what you bought L4D2 for, and they won't play any of them. If you play it, more power to you! Maybe I'll play some L4D2 tonight as well.
