yo buddy, how you liking "the last express" i got you?
looked like a unique adventure game. i only got to know about it when i saw it on your wishlist.
that is the usual mo with early access games right?
it's just, even if i'd be saving 50 bucks from the regular price, there is a very low absolute barrier. and 16 is definitely above that...
...13 too.
but no biggie. i have patience.
think i'll get postal 2 and brothers. look like nice gifts for friends
I'm guessing many people own Dust from the Humble Bundle it was in.

That depends on what you want really. There's the three mission packs, Southern Fronts, Case Blue and Victory at Stalingrad, which offer a variety of single player/co-op missions of differing quality, some unique and interesting, others little more than glorified skirmishes. At the price they're at right now, I'd highly recommend them.
There's then the two stand alone army packs, Oberkommando West and US Forces. Those let you play as those armies online and in skirmish battles. If you're interested in multiplayer, I'd recommend them.
Finally, there's the recent Ardennes Assault, a stand alone single player campaign, inspired by the Battle of the Bulge. Featuring an meta-campaign map, it's a campaign that lets you tell your own stories and make strategic decisions, rather than making you play through several authored missions. I really like the look of it, and was hoping to pick it up this sale. Might still do, though I had been looking for a deeper discount.
It's a "spectacle adventure" with one way doors in the middle of missions, loading screens everywhere that make it worse than Thief 3, broken stealth, stupid AI and uninspired mission design. The story is a Frankenstein of various other stories, leaving you with broken shards that make zero sense and don't engage you at all.
That's not even mentioning the stupid engine shit where there's HUGE CITY WIDE RIOTS that come down to like 2 people standing in a square shouting things, the PRESS BUTTAN REPEATEDLY FOR INTERACTIVITY, "look at this pretty animation that plays every single fucking time when you grab something and lasts seconds" and other stupid decisions.
I'd already found these, but thanks.

Or buy styx
Pupo

But you're the guy who doesn't like anything except cats and puppies, right?
just kidding, I trust you.
Well yes, but the cheapest Styx is four times the price of Thi4f. I assume the price was the only reason it was being considered
Of course, it's over 9000 times better*, so...

Bah, went to buy a game on Steam, downloaded it, and now the game's clients making me download an extra 4GB. This is stupid.
Turn cache shadow & cache sun off. It's a known bug.
Stallion Free
Cock Encumbered
Turn of both Shadow Cache options. Everything else should be fine maxed other than supersampling (obviously).
Ah, thanks, I'll check that out. Hopefully that will fix it. Bummer that it's apparently a well-known bug and they haven't fixed it since release...
Postal 1 & 2 are fun as hell.

I have only played it for 1,5 hours and I don't know if it's the hard choices but more of the... no choices I had to make:
- Kids come knocking my door asking for bandages for their dying mom. Can't give any because I had to give my last bandages for one of my survivors because raiders fucked them up while I was away scavenging (and not finding anything useful).
- Gave some of my food for an hospital in exchange of their services. Looters came in that night and stole rest of my food. One of my survivors died the next day trying to steal food because otherwise another of mine would have starved to death.
- Invest on one character to save others because he's the fastest and least fucked by raiders: he gets depressed. Have no choice but continue and he mentally breaks.
After that day he leaves the group at night alone, only to be shot by thungs the day after.
I haven't had a chance to play it, but if you're interested in it, I'll try it out tonight and let you know how it is. Btw, thanks again for it! I really appreciate it!
Buy it now or watch the price rise up further and further thenthey don't even try to conceal it. just going straight to the raunchy jugular.
that is some crazy fan-service.. but damn, it works man. it works splendidly :/
i gotta give credit where credit is due though. the faces of the girls are really so cute.
...it looks like stupid fun and a nice joke gift -_-
oh next votes are already up?!
which you want me to vote guys? time force or abyss?
i ain't listening to nito's pr-hype. he's the devil in disguise folks.
shame banished is still so high. but it was expected since people really seem to dig it.
there are actually several cheap good games today but i'm sad none of it is on the wishlist of friends i planned on gifting
ok, will do!
ok, maybe not.
Gonna get it at 75% off in 2020 huh?

I voted for Super Time Force but something tells me that it won't win
For two days in a row I've been disappointed by the featured deals after having found something for me or my brother most other days. Thought I had good candidates on the wishlist. Still a bunch of days to go of course but I'm in a buying mood! Really hoping for one of the two interesting community choices so I can get something tomorrow. But with my luck none of them will win.
Getting Outland gifted to me made my day tho :3

Thanks. I have now bought all the DLC's that are 75% off. Will wait for the rest to get cheaper.
What's up with these DLC's though? Are they only cosmetic? I can't even see them in the steam client at all. The screen is from isthereanydeal.com.
nah, play it when you want it
Eh, it's already installing, and if it turns out to be a good game, I want to let others know before the sale is up. Edit: Wait, there is no sale on it, lol.
Oh, and speaking of letting others know of good games; Legend of Grimrock 2 is FANTASTIC. I've only been playing for 5 hours but there's lots of varied environments, unique monster AI, secrets to discover and puzzles to solve. Will do a slightly more thorough review once I'm done, but this is one game to get. Thanks again to speevy for gifting me this!
This thread is all and only about:
- Bad Rats
- waifus
- DOA5
Now bring on the memes.
k. no memes pls.
Thanks a lot for answering. Seems harsh indeed but I love the weight that your choices may impact on others. Seems to be limited quantities of everything so I'm guessing that even if you make some good item management you still won't be having enough to help others. If you die is game over and you have to start all over again or is there some sort of save game to previous points?
Again, appreciate the input. Game looks really interesting.

No I'm not new here but I'm saying that because it's so disappointing to see a game that you really want to win and it never happens

Sorely tempted to pull the trigger on that Dell U2715H monitor (2104 model refresh; 27" 1440p IPS goodness) to go with my new superpowered PC that'll be showing up Jan 5th. Given work for some reason decided to buy my computer, the bad voice in my head is telling me to burn up some of those savings by buying tons of nice peripherals (killer monitor! Das Keyboard!)

It probably isn't for someone that doesn't like getting fucked by the random number generator, but it most definitely is interesting. AFAIK there are no save points, so it's one (randomly generated) "make your own story".
These are just my early impressions, but I really liked the first 1,5 hours. The game doesn't guide you (at all), but you kinda figure it out as you go which I greatly like too. If you like FTL or something like that, it's definitely a game worth getting.
Purely cosmetic stuff, they change the look of your vehicle units. The store page to actually purchase them is only discoverable through the game itself, but here's the link. There's also faceplates you can buy. Commanders too, though those change the gameplay up quite a bit.
Thankfully, the set up of the game has changed since launch, and you can now get commanders, faceplates and unit skins as 'war spoils', after playing skirmish or online matches.
