Someone on my friends list is getting lucky tonight.

Spoiler

I'm gifting someone Sniper Elite 3 and The Banner Saga.

I am on her friends list ... but we havent spoken to each other.... much SO SAD

they keep playing CS:GO and not L4D2 or any other multiplayer game I have XD

 

[DillonMabry]

So did we ever find out who gave the dumbest answer for the little STFU contest?

 

[xeris]

Hello SteamGAF, quick question.

I need some help, my wife is a HUGE fan of the old Pharaoh/Cleopatra games. What new games are similar?

Banished might work. Bit more of a learning cliff than those, however.

I don't know why but now I have this feeling of anticipation.... Like something really awesome is going to happen but I don't know what.

----

This is really short notice, but does anyone want to play Contagion tonight? I'm ready to play right now but I can wait if anyone can't play ASAP. No timer for this but I'll put a name list just in case:

1. Me
2.
3.
4.

[EdmondD]

Again, back on page 195 or so, there's a 100-game giveaway, guys.

Seriously, though, where are these $10 codes for Sniper Elite 3 and Murdered? I was interested in Sniper Elite 3.



except possibly my love and adoration

Spoiler

see edit message, then see next message

Spoiler

...it's weird

Spoiler

Hah. Isn't it cool that people who cheat and look at the second spoiler right after the first actually get a different context to the message? I feel clever.

You make a good point. I do talk though just not as often as others. I should post more impressions of games though I admit and it wouldn't hurt to share more opinions. By the way your avatar is from a Warren Ellis comic right? I'm a big Ellis fan. You're my bro Rio.

Nope as I have given that to turfster. Along with Murdered Soul Suspect.

[The Dear Leader]

Glad to see everyone is grabbing AMD codes, YOURE WELCOME EVERYONE

 

[Ozium]

Glad to see everyone is grabbing AMD codes, YOURE WELCOME EVERYONE

I don't understand what is happening nor did I grab a code but thanks mate

 

[Arthea]

Glad to see everyone is grabbing AMD codes, YOURE WELCOME EVERYONE

Where do you exactly grab them, isn't it too late even to try?

 

[Annubis]

I just realized that unless they work weekends at Larian, we're not getting the 2 extra companions promised in August (was actually mid August).

EDIT: derp, I'm talking about Divinity Original Sin

 

[Shadownet]

Where do you exactly grab them, isn't it too late even to try?

There should still be some Gold Reward codes left.

$20PSN for 1 code.

 

[Random Painted HIghway]

Ok neither waw or mw2 are working for me, splash screen then black screen then nothing. Wtf. Guess I'll have to do some googling or something.

 

[liezryou]

Can I have your time machine?

Spoiler

Yes, you probably had a brainfart. Sorry that I preserved it for everyone.

I assume you wanted to say September . But yeah, I thought something like this would happen(and that's why the codes are going for so cheap right now). Suck a bit, but I will still be able to get a Gold code for like 25$ down the line so that's cool.

Oops. Yes september is what i meant . If you buy any codes make sure to ask what the expiry date is.

 

[Parsnip]

Preach it brother.

 

[The Dear Leader]

I don't understand what is happening nor did I grab a code but thanks mate

Where do you exactly grab them, isn't it too late even to try?

I mentioned earlier that I got Sniper Elite 3 and Murdered for from an AMD never settle code I bought for $10 in the BTS thread. So others are finding codes to buy and use since they expire in a few days theyre going for cheap.

Just a reminder, if you see my playing it, you are welcomed to jump in.

[Nabs]

If you're not playing Lethal League you're fucking up. This game is so much fun.

 

[Nostremitus]

Children of the Nile is the first thing that leaps to mind.


People get vouchers when they buy new cards from participating retailers.

You can get the old game on GOG.com, in fact its on sale right now as part of the weekend Activision sale:

http://www.gog.com/game/pharaoh_cleopatra

Those games are available on GOG.com if you're looking to but them again to play. As for similar hopefully someone else can offer something in that area.

Banished might work. Bit more of a learning cliff than those, however.

Thanks, she bought Pharaoh and Cleopatra last week on GoG, she's salty about the sale.

Children of the Nile and Banished both look good, thanks for the recommendations.

 

[The Dear Leader]

I wore out the browser prototype a while ago when it came out, has it changed much since then? Or added anything if you played it back then?

Weird request: does anyone wanna play COD Ghosts vs Aliens with me? This is TIGHT.

Rare is the person who recognizes Desolation Jones. You are automatically cool now.

If you don't want to talk a lot, you don't have to, it's just that we, the guys giving away games, often have no idea who the people are who take our games, and... well, at least for me, I'm giving it to the people I know in SteamGAF, y'know? So I use the rule because I'm trying to give games to my friends, not random strangers.

Well contest is over. Someone guessed the right number. damn. I'm impressed.

I want to start a campaign to get people reading edit messages.

Reading is essential!

 

[Stuggernaut]

I have not played a Call of Duty game in many years. I really enjoy a good single player campaign.

Are the newer ones good for single player? Or pretty focused on multiplayer?

Is there a "best" one for single?

My wallet wants to know.

Granted, I stopped with MW2, and played the first mission of BLOPS recently, but CoD4MW still remains the best in my book, both single and multi.

COD4, MW2 are great. To a lesser extent MW3 and Ghosts. There's some great ideas in ghosts.

Blops and Blops 2 have terrible stories (there's this sequence in Blops 2 where your character kills people via, um, being angry, and this terrible ripoff of every "capturing the villain was HIS PLAN! mwahahaha!" moment in movies, but what do you expect when your screenwriter penned and directed Blade 3). Blops 2 has some neat ideas, though, like choice and consequence moments in the campaign.

Treyarch always has good ideas, but the execution is terrible.

Reading is essential!

So is your friendship.

You are awesome.

I still hold COD4 and MW2 as the best cods, but MW3 and ghosts were way worse than blops and blops2 in my opinion, both in single and mulitplayer. Guess they all have their appeals though!

Well, just read mik7697-gate and that was quite... something. I'm glad that Skynet Modbot had evolved enough to prevent a javadots 2.0 though.

Also no quote walls for the time being, not much time to do so

Look at the discussion forums, I can't get mw2 or waw to work and it seems I am not alone. Not sure if that extends to the other games but I have the same issue for both Games.

I wouldn't bother with any of the new ones, they are mainly multiplayer focused with short and not very good campaigns. Even the multiplayer for the newest ones is somewhat subpar for CoD imo.

 

[Stuggernaut]

I was going to buy 2 COD games based on comments here, and friends, but since every other person said COD4 I'm just gonna buy 2 of those and give one away. I can't be the only one that has not played it ;P
