Add me on steam, I also suck at RTS but still love to play them. We can suck together. ID in my profile.
n/m, I already have you! We can stink up CoH2 as a team.
Genoforge Saga pls?
Is it good? Geneforge Saga I mean. I haven't heard much about it. And whats sucks about Starvoid is that it's multiplayer only and I heard that its was virtually dead D:
EDIT: Thanks to diggler for the saga! Can't wait to play it, brah
I'll just upload them into an imgur album.
And mountain dew? What do you think this is? Call of Duty? No that shit was Nos Energy Drinks.
Here it is: Homefront product placement
My personal favorite:
When I started seeing this garbage in my playthough, I at first thought this was just subtle commentary about how economic policy had destroyed American culture to such a degree that the only way to display meaningful American imagery in the face of an invasion was with corporate branding, but then I realized there isn't even a Tiger Direct brick-and-mortar store in Colorado.
Ahhh That's sweet. Thanks duder. I am glad you enjoyed them. Hopefully I can get around to playing them soon(not likely with a massive backlog)

FTL is soo good to play late at night. The music is perfect for it.
Wow, thanks for the code diggler, you're awesome! Plan on coop with a friend.

Uplink is one of my favorite games of all time. So much fun.
Sold some stuff to finally cover a purchase of Bioshock Infinite once it's on sale. I don't expect it to happen on Steam for a bit but please let me know if you see it elsewhere on an actual reliable site...lol
Should be perfect for after my procedure next week now that I made my man cave for it.

If a discount of 25% is sufficient, Salsa can get you the game for $45.
Speaking of which, for those who bought the game a while ago via Groupees' Be Mine 6, your Desura key doubles as a Steam key if you remove the dashes.
It's great, but I suck at it. I'd need to check some guides or something, as I always get discovered pretty soon.
For those who has it in Desura can also get it on Steam for free
Go to this page while logged in and press request key. I just tried it and it worked!
That sounds pretty good. Might have to try to sell one last game to recoup the costs but I don't want to be bored when stuck in my room. The funny thing is that was the whole reason I got my Vita since I was having surgery that same day. Boredom makes me spend money every time.
Primal Carnage is a perfect example of a fun, cheap game to pass the time. Nothing ground-breaking, but dinosaurs are always fun!
Pre-ordered. I had an absolute blast playing the first one.
I did the same. The original still has the best first person melee system in gaming, the only game that comes close is Chivalry, but it's hard to compare the two due to the multiplayer focus of Chivalry. I just hope they were able to port the system accurately to UE3, and that the campaign is a decent length this time.
The first game is great but I'd have to give it to Condemned 2 for best first person melee combat system, it's better and more satisfying IMO plus you can throw bums into tvs
I am however looking forward to Zeno Clash 2 greatly. Picking fools up and slam dunking them headfirst into the ground ? Why yes please and thank you. We need more first person brawlers damnit! CoOp should be a great addition as well, surprised it's never been tried for a first person brawler before now.Condemned 2 was definitely more visceral and 'tighter', but I felt the movement and pace of the combat was too slow, it suited the style of game Condemned was going for but it just wasn't as fun for me. Zeno Clash the mechanics were tuned more towards movement that encouraged the played to run, dodge and just move around between opponents to gain different advantages, instead of just blocking as the best method. That and I disliked the adrenaline moves, it just further slowed down the combat in Condemned 2 which I'm hoping isn't the case with Zeno Clash 2. We definitely need more first person brawlers though.
My prediction is... World of Goo!
Well, apparently the campaign is around 10 hours. The world is supposedly more open this time around and you are free to go where ever you wish - there are no segmented areas like in the previous one.
Zenozoik is just ripe for exploration. I can't wait.
Actually yeah I can agree with that in terms of combat speed, combat in Condemned 2 is without a doubt more methodical and the reason I love it is the 'viseral' nature of the combat. The way your punches hit, the way enemies are shouting and screaming as you are punching them in the face '*growl* FUUUUCKER!', putting enemies heads into vices, throwing them into TVs, kicking their heads into door frames etc. It's very satisfying on a very primal level, it's incredibly aggressive in its nature. I do think it has more choice in terms of how to approach things with including melee weapons, guns, the adrenaline moves etc but I guess that they are very different in their approaches.
Regardless, roll on Zeno Clash 2!
If you've never played it I'd recommend trying out Breakdown on the original xbox. I'm not sure if its backwards compatible on the 360 (assuming you have a console) or not or how well it even holds up now (it might be a bit too slow for you going by what you were saying) but I loved that at the time. First person melee with superhero powers etc
First day having to get some kip early and back to work and I get to miss all the melodrama. Being a European really does suck.
Well a local retailer by me has it available to preorder for £25. I'm umming and ahing whether I want free swag I own already to sell off to make it cheaper or by it locally and get some cashback. Far too many options these days

Planetside 2 and Tribes hit the top 10 when they came out.
Warframe is pretty good. Gameplay is solid and there are OCD hooks out of the ass. Its business model is kinda ehh though. You can buy extra lives with cash (granted they're only like $0.20/each, they restock every 24 hours and your co-op partners can rez you for free if they're fast) and some weapons/suits are cash shop only.

I'm feeling this already as well, and I've only played it for a couple of hours. I love loot and games with loot, but the game is lacking that important drive for me to keep playing. The only thing I can think of is completing the missions for completion's sake. However, the level design is boring, the art style is bland, and depending on the mission, you'll be fighting a lot of the same looking, uninspired enemies. Maybe having some kind of narrative would help it, but there isn't really so the world feels artificial.
The whole F2P model is based around colors, weapons, and glorified alternate costumes. That leaves the loot to be focused on weapon enhancements like 7% critical chance increase or 10% more ammo for a given gun which aren't nearly as exciting as picking up weapons or armor in any other looting game. So yeah, this game is rapidly becoming boring.

I just got Company of Heroes 2 an hour ago or so, is there still a chance for me being included in the beta?

Ah yes, the Battle of TigerDirect.com was one of the pivotal battles in the Second American War of Independence.
Beta access is one of the base offers, so yes, you will get in.

Looking at my last big purchases
Tomb Raider - 15 hours
BioShock Infinite - 12 hours
Resident Evil 6 - 63 hours
:|
In that case, seeing as those had the predecessors of Planetside and Tribes while Warframe's leadup is essentially just Dark Sector, it's especially nuts.

listen to the mad man
That's the new content distribution system from a year or so ago--they've just been slowly converting their own first-party games to it. If you've ever had one of those "This game is being converted to the new content distribution system" messages, that's this.
