Most every issue has been fixed, resolved, or altered through the various patches and has shaped up to become a very good Total War. Pathfinding and diplomacy were both ironed out and I dare say the best in the franchise now. There may be issues one doesn't like due to the subtle differences between Rome 2 and other Total War games, but that is going to be down to personal preference, not technical or design faults.

I say it's well worth it if you were a fan of any past Total War game (excluding Shogun for it's visual style and Viking: Battle for Asgard for... what it was) and more than enough competent game to satisfy most every strategy fan. Large scale battles, boats, differences between cultures being more pronounced, terrain mattering, all very good fun.

That's great to hear. I'll definitely be picking it up.

 

[Tesseract]

Down $20 so far, dark souls 1 and 2

that's enough game to last you a year

i'm biting on flight sim, fuck it.

WE'LL DO IT LIVE

 

[Salsa]

ITS SO GOOD

be warned the beginning (starting with the first game and going into the second) youll breeze through

by the end of the third though woof it gets pretty difficult

i'll just buy the 1+2 bundle I think for now

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Bummed that the Dark Souls 2 DLC isn't discounted

Seriously.

 

[GasProblem]

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky daily please.

I want Shovel Knight too, but it's not getting a discount and I can wait.

 

[Htown]

Revengeance's discount says it's a daily but it doesn't appear on the front page. Howsat work.

Happens a lot, actually. A game on the front page will be a daily, and if you look around you'll see other games in the franchise also on a daily deal.

For example, Civ Beyond Earth is on the front page, and the other Civ games are also on daily deals right now.

 

[Haunted]

think i'll grab the hexcells bundle since gaf raves about it

It's hexagonal minesweeper + picross. It's cool if you like those games, but I don't think it's the revelation in puzzle games others here think it is.

 

[Patapwn]

Hey guies, what is the chance that Civilization: BE is going to be more than 40% off? What is the strategy for me?

 

[rainking187]

I'm glad I only have to vote once a day to get a card now, but they should have more than one game as a community choice if there's only going to be one a day. Like have three groups of six games to vote for.

 

[Fare Godmace]

Man, why did Carpe Fulgur stop putting their games on sale?

I'm never going to play Recettear, god damn it

 

[Darth Kupi]

Here's another 25%.

Already have that.

Wanted it to go to 50% and then jump on it with the coupon.

Oh well, maybe a daily then.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Man, why did Carpe Fulgur stop putting their games on sale?

I'm never going to play Recettear, god damn it

I'm assuming it's cause they got burned hard by that first time. They seemed to take it well as a learning experience though... not sure why they'd stop completely.

 

[Heebie Jeebies]

Hey guies, what is the chance that Civilization: BE is going to be more than 40% off? What is the strategy for me?

This sale? Zero. Daily deals are peak discounts.

 

[Patapwn]

This sale? Zero. Daily deals are peak discounts.

Alright, thanks.

 

[SniperHunter]

i always wanted to be a pilot so i will buy FSX

and also metal gear rising to support platinum gamez

 

[Salsa]

eh fuck it got all 3

 

[Grief.exe]

The standard question you see all day everyday in sale threads.

After all these years we still aren't desensitized.

Answer: this is the lowest.

 

[Pachimari]

I doubt it. I bet we will only get a 50% off on Steam and that's definitely not lower than what GMG has.

There is also a 20% off coupon on GMG. With that it's even cheaper.

Yeah, I'll just go ahead and get it.

It's at £12.80 after the voucher.

 

[grimmiq]

Hmmm DMC3 for 75% off at $4.99. Limiting myself to $50 + any gift cards I get from friends/family this sale..

 

[Fare Godmace]

I'm assuming it's cause they got burned hard by that first time. They seemed to take it well as a learning experience though... not sure why they'd stop completely.

Huh? What happened? A price mistake? Did they discount too much too soon?

 

[Anustart]

you... do know about the "special edition" DkS2 right?

I'd buy DS2 now too if I could. The "special edition" will likely be 50$ vs 13$. You'd be missing out on some updated graphics and dlc. I'd take the 13$ version every time.

 

[Kadin]

Just got an email that Metal Gear Rising is $5.99. Well that's an easy decision. Done.

 

[D3RANG3D]

Huh? What happened? A price mistake? Did they discount too much too soon?

They put Recettear in a pack of five indie games for five bucks, when Steam had godly sales like that.

 

[phoenix296]

Nothing for me today. Wish MGS was cheaper.

 

[Vaporak]

Grabbed the Metal Gear Duo, that's a solid start to the winter sale right there.

 

[Tesseract]

i had to disable wishlist sales emails, my phone wouldn't shut up

 

[PaulExcellent]

I gifted Rocksmith 2014 and blew all my budget for myself.
I kinda wanted Metal Gear Rising, but I would rather get someone the joy of learning cool shit.

 

[SkeptiMism]

I'll chime in with the others saying buy MGR. Awesome game.

Also, new Humble Weekly Bundle.

Thanks. Bought it for Consortium mainly, but Halfway seems pretty cool too so got that one too.

 

[slayzz]

This sale? Zero. Daily deals are peak discounts.

damn. I was hoping for at least 50% discount.

 

[Teggy]

Enjoy!

[demosthenes]

Bleh. Dead Rising 3 list price is still $50. WOuld be great if it went 75% but I doubt it will.

 

[Schweinehund]

Not even a tempting sale on dark souls 2 season pass. Literally no incentive to buy anything dark souls 2 until the rerelease comes

 

[inm8num2]

The standard question you see all day everyday in sale threads.

After all these years we still aren't desensitized.

Answer: this is the lowest.

I admire the purity of their souls, unsullied by the addiction of Steam sales.

 

[Pachimari]

Alien Isolation and MGSV: Ground Zeroes is not bad for the first day.

Now I'm just keeping my eyes on This War of Mine and Wolfenstein: The New Order, and my Winter Sales will be done.

 

[SteveWinwood]

eh fuck it got all 3

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Huh? What happened? A price mistake? Did they discount too much too soon?

It was relatively early on in all this steam stuff so and everyone was still figuring it out. They took very large sale early on and estimated they lost tons of money and sales because of it.

 

[uncredited male]

I am going to do good this time. I only really have 3 games that I am watching. The rest of my wallet funds will be for good values like the MGRR sale today.

I vow I will not buy any useless shit I will never play this sale.

 

[shockdude]

Oh boy, haven't even seen the steam front page yet. Gotta check it out.

 

[Haunted]

I'll chime in with the others saying buy MGR. Awesome game.

Thanks. Bought it for Consortium mainly, but Halfway seems pretty cool too so got that one too.

Halfway is really good if you like SRPGs, imo. Made it on my Top 10 GOTY list this year.

 

[NightmareTrigger]

I gifted Rocksmith 2014 and blew all my budget for myself.
I kinda wanted Metal Gear Rising, but I would rather get someone the joy of learning cool shit.

That's a REALLY good gift to give someone. In fact I'll play some now.

 

[UncleO]

Holding out for Ass creed IV to hit a nice low price point.
Also looking for Space Engineers to fall also.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Bleh. Dead Rising 3 list price is still $50. WOuld be great if it went 75% but I doubt it will.

You could stack coupons on GMG and get it for like 45% off not too long ago during the thanksgiving sale.

 

[markofhavoc]

My first steam sale while active on GAF. Let the good times roll and hopefully not lose all my money, though at a certain point I feel I own most of what I want.

 

[Sinatar]

Holding out for Ass creed IV to hit a nice low price point.
Also looking for Space Engineers to fall also.

Space Engineers is a daily, it's not getting lower.

 

[robotrock]

That title burns

 

[Double]

Who doesn't buy Metal Gear Rising for 3,99€ is unsavable.

Holding out for a daily/flash deal on Trails in the Sky and Shadowrun: Dragonfall. Or Residen Evil 4. Or Astebreed. Or Final Fantasy XIII...

Uh, hidden daily, eh? Bought.

 

[Tesseract]

Uh, hidden daily, eh? Bought.

metal gear daily

 

[OnionPowder]

Sales already off to a rocking start. Picking up Dark Souls 2 and Speedrunners. Now I just need Dead Rising 3 $20 or less.

 

[Snuggles]

yesssssss state of decay was at the top of my wishlist

 

[outunderthestars]

no those are the only dailies. I think it was reference to the games on sale?

The hidden secret to the dailies is when the game shown in the daily is on sale, this means all of that games franchise normally goes on sale too

So MG Rising isn't a daily?

 

[Vazduh]

So MG Rising isn't a daily?

It is.
