More people should be buying Defense Grid, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and Samorost2. Can't go wrong with great games under $2.50.

In fact, I'll gift one of the three to the first 3 people who ask. The catch is that you have to have participated in this thread before this post. ~9000 posts in this thread. If at least one post so far isn't yours, you're disqualified. I'll check

I did the same on another forum with Torchlight - I threatened to buy Torchlight for anyone who hadn't by the end of the sale day.

I'm tempted to do it again.

 

[Hellsing321]

Yes I believe so, and patch the first 2 games with this if you need widescreen.

So what other last minute deals would you guys recommend before the sale ends? I'd say:

The Witcher Enhanced Edition for $14. Can't beat that price for a really great RPG.

Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 Platinum for $10. Includes the expansions. Great game to play while the kiddos are awake (then fire up The Witcher at bedtime).

Empire Total War for $25. Totally worth $50, an absolute steal at $25.

Any other recommendations?

 

[kennah]

Mandriva?

 

[theMrCravens]

Hmm.
Googling "linux flavor".

First three were Firestorm, arab and reno. Will add you and send games as soon as I have steam names.

Is Defense Grid really so good? Even at that price I'm not sure about the game. Played too many Tower Defense games :/

 

[Baha]

I've got 2 Killing Floor guest passes I'll never use so post your steam id and I'll send a pass.

 

[Firestorm]

sorry to interrupt again, but i still have the generosity bug up my butt. consider gaf lucky that i've never done anything like this before and the feeling feels good. this one is gonna be a bit harder to make the contest last a little longer. the first person to guess my favorite regular simpsons character gets trine.

some hints: not in the simpsons family
regular but not in most episodes
i havent seen an episode of the simpsons since its tenth season

one guess per poster

EDIT: and if you dont want trine, i'll gift another game of the same monetary value or cheaper. your call!

and i'll be refreshing until i read my favorite character, so everybody keep guessing until you hear from me. dont worry, i'll be here all day

If you like puzzle games I recommend Cogs and Obulis; I've been having a lot of fun with them.

It's ok. It's a bit too formulaic for me personally. If you like TD games that are free flowing and allow for lots of imagination in your mazing, it kind of sucks. If you don't care about that, and like high production values, some cool towers and whatnot, it's good.

 

[Niks]

Just bought STALKER.

I like it.. it's pretty straightforward.. but I liked it enough on 360 to pay 2.50.

I think it requires more thinking than most.

I'm trying to go through the spreadsheet and it's too hard. I'm trying to go through the steam store and it's too hard. I dunno what to get :lol

 

[MNC]

I really like Defense Grid. First proper Tower Defense game for me and I love the quality it delivers, good strategying and solid gameplay.

Ok, i think you just ruined the game for me :lol
oh well i still have a few hours to decide if it's worth my money.

It'll only let me send via friend's list or email and I was unable to add you to my friend's list. PM me your email and I'll send it.

Wow, thanks! Sending info

 

[Reno7728]

I have 2 shattered horizons guest passes going for anyone who wants to try it

just quote and post steam names - first come first serve

 

[theMrCravens]

I guess I should do same and give out these 2 Killing Floor passes before they expire.

Just PM me your email that Steam uses.

 

[Owzers]

Verdict on Heroes of Might and Magic V?

 

[blehh]

3 guest passes to shattered horizon i'll never use either. quote with info!

also, still generous. but i'll be back in a couple of hours with more contests, if that's cool with everybody.

 

[cory]

nevermind.

 

[KaYotiX]

Is Dawn of Discovery worth it? Im really on the fence, i liked the demo alot but i just cant pull the trigger yet

 

[elrechazado]

You're not missing that much honestly. I liked playing it once, but I've put in dozens and dozens of hours into simple flash TD games because they had replayability. I beat defense grid once and never touched it again.

 

[biocat]

Is Dawn of War II worthwhile?
I don't know if I enjoy RTS games anymore. The last one I played, Universe at War, really bored me, but I do like the Warhammer aesthetic.
Advice?

Shattered horizon sounds cool!

It's like HOMM3 but with better graphics, i liked it.

I'm currently playing it, enjoying quite a bit. Did you like company of heroes? Think company of heroes but with even less resource management. I haven't played the MP, but the campaign is quite long, reminds me of company of heroes meets starcraft sp campaign. Squad based, it's not even like playing an RTS really.

I'm really torn on that one too, I would probably initially play it only in single player, do people think its still worth it at 19.99 for primarily single player use?

Verdict on Heroes of Might and Magic V?

I really liked it but eventually I just turned on autocombat and the game turns into just creating high level stacks.

 

[K.Sabot]

It has a very meaty single player game that incorporates stat and skill building elements, as well as a loot system. It can also be played co-op.

 

[Tenks]

I really, really enjoy it. I can't express how much it's an immersive experience. If you are looking for combat, however, look the other way. Anno isn't about a combat experience but if you like micromanagement / trade-routing / city scaping then personally I don't think it gets much better than Dawn of Discovery.

I will say that towards the end of the game sometimes it just becomes too damn complicated keeping everyone happy. You need so many resources in so many different locations it sometimes just becomes a headache.

Shattered horizon sounds cool!

hm...can't find your name. whats the email attached to your steam account? or you can add me: papercup

 

[The Elite]

So tempted to bite on FFXI. Still my favorite MMO but I don't know if I want to invest in it again this late in the game. NeoGAF seems to have an extremely active community in it too.

 

[Sloegr]

Wow, blehh, thank you! That's the best gift I got all holiday season (no joke).

Anyone feeling generous to gift me STALKER?

Please.
