Probably going to get the BF2 collection. It would be nice to pack up my discs with the rest of my games.

Still tempted to buy Torchlight today as well. Not sure if I should possibly wait until the end for a daily deal or buy now and play during my time off this week.

No more non-24 deal purchases from me until the final day at least.

HOLY SHIT! SO GLAD I WAITED!

King's Bounty - Gold Edition (Since Armored Princess was at $26, and the Gold Edition was $30), Red Faction Guerilla, alongside a few other things, were in my cart yesterday that added up to $65. This sale brought that $65 to $35. Soooo happy :D

Is armored princess a stand-alone game ?

Yes and it's more polished than Legend

too bad the King's Bounty: Gold Edition isn't on sale as well

guess I'll have to hope on a daily deal on the first game later on

You don't need to play KB: Legend and you might not even want to after finishing AP

How is the multiplayer for Red Faction Guerrilla on the PC? I thought I heard a few times that it's pretty much dead.

Yes, a lot of people still play BF2. There's still several thousand servers online and several thousand people playing it.

I know, but would you just need to boot up the latest one and would it have everything previous included?

Oh. No clue then!

Just from my demo impressions, AP's combat is much improved from KB vanilla.

I've always wanted to try Battlefield 2 and for that price i can't pass it up.

Cogs seems pretty interesting. I was on the fence at $5, but at $2 it is so bought.

Hey, I don't want to interrupt you guys but we've got a potential nipple slip screen coming up in a minute.

Yeah, there's quite a few servers still going strong. I just checked and rough guess would be a couple hundred currently populated servers.

What sort of RPG is Armored Princess? If I can play it without needing to know anything from the first one then I'm very interested.

Yeah, I can't steam working as a browser either. Perhaps my use of firefox is interfering?
Click to expand...

You can only use Steam as a browser in-game and only if you select the "Web" option when going into the Steam Overlay.

Yay, cheap Armoured Princess, now I really should get round to finishing King's Bounty, cheap Red Faction is bought too. BF2 is tempting, but 1) I already have a disc somewhere and Bad Company 2 is soon and pretty much means I'll never play 2 again.

If the standards actually held true, that would be great. Unfortunately, some GFW games don't support the Xbox 360 controller.
Click to expand...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't those usually RTS games (i.e. Company of Heroes, Supreme Commander, Sins of a Solar Empire)?

It is like HOMM without micro. You will be able to grasp the game with no prior knowledge.

It's supposed to be like Heroes of Might and Magic, which I believe is a tactical RPG in the line of Final Fantasy Tactics or something (where combat is held on a grid, units have a certain number of actions per turn, and positioning matters).

It's exactly like a HoMM game without town building and a single world to explore instead of campaign. If you've ever played those HoMM 3 custom maps that have no AI opponents and city building, it's exactly like that.

I can't install mine either, but I get the message saying that "Steam servers are too busy...blah blah blah, try again later."

So you're not always on the horse?

I wasn't impressed with the demo, at all.

Still debating on whether to grab dawn of discovery and tropico 3 at those prices.

Wasn't Far Cry 2 $10 on the first day?

I'm almost certain it was.

EDIT: Nevermind it still is. O:

You are one cheap fuck. (So am I. I'm not buying anything not on the one-day sales until the last day!)

Motherfucker. I just bought Red Faction the day the sales went up, and not it goes further. Ugh, not buying anything more until the last day of sales.

(and double dip on the achievements)
