Support NeoGAF

[OldAsUrSock]

Start with Ys: Oath in Felghana (Ys 3).
Ys games aren't hard really, at worst level grinding for 1 or 2 extra levels will make bosses slightly easier.
It is an epic game regardless.
Ys 1 and 2's gameplay is rather archaic but can be fun, Origin is a successor to OiF's gameplay system and many consider it to be better.

Obligatory

Now I'm interested in this game lol

Green Man Gaming had Wolfenstein for $20.39 yesterday and with their 20% coupon it came out to ~$16. It's back up to $30 now, but the coupon still applies. Not sure when their sale ends or if they have an encore.

Damn, I haven't been checking GMG. Anyway, $24 is still a good price. If Steam doesn't have it as a daily before the 2nd, I'll get it on GMG. Thanks a lot.

Don't forget that the Skullgirls DLC is also on sale! I almost did. Grabbed it all for 3.74!


Edit.

I also had a dream last night that Darkwatch 2 was on sale, but didn't realize until the last minute that it was a motherfucking sequel to the rather awesome PS2 game Darkwatch. It was a race to purchase before the clock ran out.

Where is Darkwatch 2?

Don't forget to grab Eliza while she's still free.

Shit thanks! I totally would have missed that!

They're more action than rpg. I'd recommend starting with Ys 1 and 2. Ys Origin is great, but it's also a giant callback to Ys 2.

Honestly, you can play whatever you choose. Just remember that each level is very important, so if an area or boss seems tough, just go back and kill a few enemies and level up. Other than that, it's pretty easy to get into.

My recommend path? Ys 1, 2, Felghana, Origin.

A giant callback to Ys I you meant

But yeah, I agree. Play them in that order: Ys 1, 2, Felghana and Origin.

 

[unrealist]

So any feedback on Lords of Xulima?

 

[CecilRousso]

So is Shadowrun: Dragonfall Director's Cut worth it? Does it include the full game and expansion or what?

Bought it yesterday. Going in without any previous knowledge or experience of Shadowrun before, I would say that it's definitely worth it. Nice combo of RPG and turnbased combat, with some really good handpainted graphics.

It's a complete game, a new campaign more then a expansion.

 

[spineduke]

Invisible Inc. didn't make it

 

[Alien8]

COD: MW3 is 30 R$ (~9,5€ or 11,5$) on Nuuvem

FFS stupid community. Shame on you.

F*ckign laughable that Ancient Space won. Definitely a proof that a generic and recognizable title is your best bet on success.

I'm going to buy Invisible Inc despite that, just to spite everyone.

Hey, I bought Ancient Space at launch and it's actually an interesting take on the RTS genre. What played against it was the extreme difficulty and the fact that it wasn't like Homeworld (despite screenshots making it look like it was). It's more like its own thing with small squads of ships, space station building and creation of defensive positions.

All in all it is a decent strategy title with some flaws. (Worst offender by far is the performance though, good luck playing this at anything over 30fps, probably caused by a misuse of the Unity Engine.)

A lot of people don't like stealth games. Not really laughable.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Maybe, just maybe... NeoGAF aren't the only group people who use Steam. Maybe.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Nice to see shadowrun selling well. Wonder how it impacts the kickstarter in January. Also kinda bummed they are just doing another campaign and not a sequel though.

 

[Tizoc]

Here's a slight spoiler-
This is a boss battle theme

I never ever glanced at Ys games. Your post made me rethink my ways. A fine job, Tizoc. A fine job indeed.

 

[His Majesty]

Caved in and bought Lords of Xulima yesterday. Amazing game.

 

[VisceralBowl]

FFXIII and Arma 3 sale plz

Ys Games are like crack, and I couldn't even tell you why, but I gotta pick up those little gems as they make me faster or something. I think. COMBOBOBOBOBOBOBOS.

 

[garath]

it was going to be only the third game I bought this sale

 

[MBison]

How is Ancient Space? It looks pretty cool.

 

[CecilRousso]

Ancient Space is still one of the most generic titles on one the most generic looking games out there. It's the safest bet you can make. You pretty much knew immediately when the poll went up that it would win. I stand by my comment.

I wanted Invisible Inc to win, but would gladly have accepted Audiosurf 2, considering the brilliance of Audiosurf 1. Ancient Space winning just makes me sad.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Zzzz, was hoping for Audiosurf 2. Have over 50 hours in the first one (though a lot of that was idling during the Portal 2 ARG...)

Guys I was contemplating getting the Shadowrun games. Both Dragonfall and Shadowrun Returns. If you were to choose, would you buy the Shadow run games or Divinity: Original Sin? I've been stewing on this for awhile now. Because of price of Divinity I can only choose on side or the other. I holding firm to my Steam budget this year.

Dragonfall wins on atmosphere and story, Divinity wins on gameplay. They're both fantastic games.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Hoping for a This War of Mine sale.

Is Chivalry Midieval Warfare going to get a better deal than 75% off or nah?

Don't get Shadowrun Returns. Just get Dragonfall if any.

And between Dragonfall and Divinity, that depends on your backlog. Dragonfall is a 20h game, Divinity is like a 50h game.

Divinity will also get much cheaper, and they're working on quite large improvements just now, that will probably make the game much more worthwhile to play when it's finished.

I was leaning toward Divinity but was hoping I could catch a deal. What do you think the chances are it'll be a daily (again?) before the Steam sale is over?

Interesting. Okay, maybe I'll hold off on Divinity for awhile and go for Dragonfall. I have Dragon Age: Inquisition to hold me over on my traditional fantasy fix for awhile. Thanks!

 

[Anilusion]

Is Thief worth the 7.5€? I really liked Deadly Shadows.

 

[Pranay]

Having great game banner always helps !

 

[Pezus]

Shadowrun: Dragonfall DC is a standalone expansion. I believe Shadowrun Returns is going to be a separate purchase.

Hmmm so what should I get? Both the original and the expansion??

 

[FallingEdge]

Maybe, just maybe... NeoGAF aren't the only group people who use Steam. Maybe.

lies

A lot of people prefer the expansion as it is more of a "complete game" and if you just want to get one, get the expansion as it is a standalone game. That being said, I enjoy the original/base game. I myself see nothing wrong with the original but I tend to be alone in that sentiment.

That's true. There's a hardcore mode upcoming, new additions and corrections to the story and they're also looking into controller support.

I'm fairly sure Divinity will become a daily, but don't expect a huge discount. It's still selling really well.

Thanks. Still debating if I should put down the money (my backlog is IMMENSE)

Nope its terrible.

 

[CecilRousso]

Dragonfall is the better one, and 20h+ in playtime alone. Getting Shadowrun Returns is unnecessary.

 

[Volcynika]

Are Y's games essay to get into..wanting to buy all of them..is there a recommended order or each one?

Ys*

 

[Leatherface]

Dragonfall purchased. Thanks for helping to make my decision easier guys.

 

[CecilRousso]

I bought Dragonfall yesterday desipite already having Dragon Age: Inquisition and Wasteland 2 in my backlog. After 2h with Dragonfall I'm convinced that I would rather continue to play that one, then the two others.

 

[Casimir]

FFS stupid community. Shame on you.

F*ckign laughable that Ancient Space won. Definitely a proof that a generic and recognizable title is your best bet on success.

It's time to stop posting for awhile. Calm down a bit.

[jholmes]

I got Oath in Felghana based on the GAF hype and it fucking delivered. Awesome game and the combat is a lot of fun too, no bumps to be found.

How is Ancient Space generic? If anything we don't get enough spaceship rts games.

 

[woo and indeed hoo]

Ask Turfster. The cost of his counselling to deal with the trauma of playing that game cost him an awful lot more than that!

Disclaimer: this is a joke. Making ranty posts on here and on Steam for days on end is of course totally free.

I really enjoyed those

tl;dr: NO! Run! Run for your life!
