Broken sword 1 2 and 3, meaning to play all of them. thanks.
EDIT: Crap, just give me whatever you have left.
True, but if you only download the game, can you download the tools separately afterwards? Or do you need to download the entire 90 GB in one go if you want everything? I assumed it was the latter, and 60 GB for editor-related stuff is still quite ridiculous.
Worms Blast if there's still one left please? Or Worms 1 if not and you have one of those left? Thanks
They are in the 'Tools' menu, so yes, you can still download them afterwards.
lol no one wants a free game
Ah, that's a bit better at least.
Me! Sajjaja.

Is the game itself 30gb or is it a case of the reported size being twice as large because it accounts for the download+install?
edit: looks like it, the download is 14.8gb
That's the spirit! I'm proud of you.
Thanks for Worms Pinball! I tried keys C and D, both are already taken.

I'm probably not the first but it's a huge bummer that the Shogun 2 DLC didn't get the same discount.
Fall of the Samurai is tempting though, especially since it seems to include one of the DLCs already. hmm...

Oh god Wizorb.
I launched into it to try it out and lost an hour, and probably the rest of the evening.

So why was Civ 5 so hated when it came out? I'm not really a fan of the series but I just went through 5 since I got it for free from the Xcom preorder and it didn't feel much different from 4. The one thing I really liked was that box in the lower right that told me what cities had production slots available or when I had an open research slot. Later in the game when I have like 15 cities I can forget to do some things, and I don't remember anything like that being in Civ 4 which made it a chore for me to play.
My guess is a combination of some people feeling that Civ V was too "casual"/mass-accessible, and some people just disliking change. The more accessible part is probably true, since I don't think I ever made it all the way through a Civ IV game, but Civ V seemed pretty fun and I think I actually won a game once.
Was Civ IV non-Steamworks? I seem to recall a vocal group disliking that Civ V added the Steam requirement as well.
A couple of things such as religion were also taken out, and then I think added back in via a patch or expansion, but I don't remember the exact situation there offhand.

Civ 4 came out in 05 so it's not steamworks unless it was patched in later, seems unlikely as steamworks started in 08 or 09 I think. It's definitely more accessible as that task box I described makes it impossible to forget to do things, but I think it's good-accessible and not dumbed down. I also liked using culture to make different policies. Beyond border increases in Civ 4 I had no idea what culture did.
I'm not sure if there was religion in the game I just played. There were things like temples I could create but there wasn't all the different religions.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe religion was introduced in the Civ 5 Gods and Kings expansion pack.

I thought most complaints about Civ V were about the (dumb) AI. I haven't played IV and haven't spent nearly enough time with V so I can't comment on it, just what I got from the posts I've read on GAF.
Probably, because it wasn't in the base game. I don't have any DLC or expansions for it yet.
I was playing on Chieftain so I assume they were meant to be dumb since after I reached the point where I shot past everyone on the tech tree they were basically just letting me nuke them and bomb their cities relentlessly with no one even attempting to send units back at me (even if they were medieval era units). When I nuked Paris Napoleon had, no joke here, 8 units surrounding the city just sitting there doing nothing. We had already been at war for a few years too so I don't know what they were doing.
There are two bonus chapters that continue the storyline that were originally DLC for the 360 release. For some reason the PC version doesn't go directly to the first DLC chapter after you finish the main game even though they are included with all PC versions, you have to manually select both bonus chapters.
Yes. The Civ 5 AI and Diplomacy system is horrible. Ruins the replay ability of the game completely.

The character pack and latest console patch is done (MS cert time). We'll probably get a 50% off sale, meaning no one will buy it.
Well, it will certainly be cheaper than that during one of the upcoming Steam sales, but rest assured, it's worth that and much more. You will marvel at the stuff that goes on in terms of dialogue, choices and consequences in that game. It's amazing.
If you're in no hurry to play it, however, maybe you should wait for the next major sale?
The game is worth 8x that.
Get. It.
I would honestly jump at 50% I was hoping for it to on sale at that price, during the summer sale.
Thanks, I'll wait for a sale on Steam. Although considering the Game Collection price would be 66% off, I'll probably be waiting a while...
