Been playing Anomaly for all day. It's actually a very good game

Stalker games are amazing. Rough, hard, free and sometimes frustrating, but the experience you get from it is exhilarating. Buy Call of Prypiat, download the Complete Mod and profit.

Yes. Quite some people actually got it.

I haven't played them myself but my fiancee has played all of them and she enjoyed them well enough. Probably a bit on the easy side. Watson is pretty creepy in one of them too.
Ahh, sorry. I'd let you have it but I want to get some actual games
Yeah, I did at least.
So should I only get that one and not the other one? Thanks for the helps!

Better than getting 25% off any Mumbo Jumbo game.

Call of Pripyat is the last game released, by far the most polish and accessible. Also, the best overall.
Shadow of Tchernobyl (strangely, the most expensive) is the first one. One could argue it's still very good, and I would agree, but it's not as good as CoP. If you like CoP, try to buy Shadow of Tchernobyl one day, because the last two hours of the game, especially if you get the " good " ending, is one of the most awesome fps experience in my gamer's life. Also, for your culture, Shadow of Tchernobyl is now a cult classic, a breed of FPS that has disappeared.
Clear Sky is a prologue, and even if it introduce the base of everything that made CoP good, it's still a buggy, unbalanced mess with great ideas but a terrible execution and a very disappointing end game.

If you have a 360 controller I'm pretty sure they patched in support for that when they added achievements.
Oh, I know its my fault. Just lamenting out loud.
And I don't doubt that DoD has its charms -- and maybe even GoG, for that matter. But I went in for the wrong reasons and I am really, really regretting it now.
Was playing it fine with a 360 controller last night.

Do you have Motioninjoy set to emulate 360 controls?

Make sure to use whatever the functionality was in motioninjoy that makes it think its a 360 controller.
Also a tiny patch looks like it just came out, seems to have solved the lighting issue.
I'm using an old Logitech DualAction controller (looks like a PS2 controller) and the game autodetected it and autobinded they keys and sticks properly. I didn't have to set anything.
You mustve played on the easiest difficulty then, because the game is anything but button mashy.

Ive been going back and forth all day on buying it. If they would have had AA up today or before today it would have made the decision a lot easier. I dont want to buy just the second game in a series.
Oh yeah I knew there had to be something in this sale that I really really wanted. It's supposedly one of the best pieces of story DLC around this gen, hoping for a 75% cut.

Man, that's fuckin' ace. They didn't even have to do that, but it's much appreciated.
Seriously, if you learn the combat system, it's literally single button presses and aiming in the direction of the guy you want to hit next 99% of the time. I've put over 50 hours into AC since it launched. I don't even know how.

How does Grotesque Tactics play? Looks like Kings Bounty but the combat doesnt look turn based.

I bought all the game I wanted (from my wishlist) because they were already at -75% so I spent 17 and I have nothing else I plan to buy. So unless there's a crazy good deal on an unexpected game or on a gem that GAF make me insta buy, I think I'm done.
I really like Jurassic Park but I know of people that absolutely hate it. Really hit or miss with people (like all of Telltale's recent stuff), so I'd probably wait.

Yeah, that's definitely worth something.
They should've made golden coupons more common, even if they were for small discounts. Being able to take another 20% off a daily deal would be a lot more satisfying than all these coupons that just match the sale-wide prices weeks later.
Also, people thinking about the Champions Online achievement ought to know that you have to go through a pretty substantial tutorial before you even get into the part of the city with the gifts. Say 30 minutes or maybe even more before you can even start farming. Seems like a decent game, though, so probably worth it if you're interested in the game.
Think Shining Force style grid combat, and ability to walk through the map to find treasure chests and what not between combat rounds.. was surprisingly better than I expected (a few issues with the translation here and there.. and I'm not a huge fan of the Douche bag guy who thinks he's god.. and scantily clad archer-women.. but other than that the story and what not isn't bad at all).. The main character is annoyingly emo.. but he gets told to get a life frequently so it evens out in the wash.
Hoping to check out the second at some point.. but so much to play at the moment.. will have to wait for next sale.
Put in about 2 hours of Swords and Soldiers today. Really fucking fun. Its RTS lite for rejects like me. Who like to build stuff but the minute actual control is needed...OMG WTF, I suck.
Due to that, there isn't terribly much depth to it, but its a perfect fit for its length. Most games last about 5-10minutes at most.

I no longer regret playing through that long ass tutorial a couple months ago.
Tutorial is the easy part.
Presents are based on RNG, and they aren't the most common item.

Damnit. I'd totally buy Batman Arkham City on PC if I had the money. I wanted to wait till it was way cheaper, but $25 isn't that bad of a price.

Hey now, it's the best superhero MMO out there.
Though you wouldn't be able to customize your hero much without going gold. But the archetypes are definitely good.
No. If you already own it, your only option is to gift or trade it. It'll stay in your inventory until you do one of those two things with it.
$25 was definitely the price I wanted... just not from Origin. From Steam, it's perfect.
