Seems fake to me.

8600GT was what my circa-2008 midrange laptop had. Not happening. And agreed that I can't see the minimum VRAM requirements being less than 1GB.

 

[akira28]

Wasteland 2 is fun, but it's not easy. A fucking. frog. tore my face a new asshole. I was like, 'oh, look, cute mutant froggie sitting on top of some machine guns and ammo I wanted to rummage through...'

mortally wounding 4/5 in the party including anyone with any medic training, leaving my little thief girl to try to escape with their corpses, just so we can have a proper burial.

Assuming PC has "old gen mode" (this was referenced on leaked changelogs on PS4-version), it may not be that far from truth.

Old gen has what, 256 MB of VRAM?

Edit: Well, that XP support thought is bit suspicous

 

[Sutton Dagger]

Has the vanishing of Ethan Carter had a bigger discount than 20%, it looks interesting?

 

[drakaenae]

Does FF VII need any on-line activation / stupid DRM besides Steam itself? Is a good version?

Thanks!

I think DRM was removed, but you still need to sign up for a Square Enix account, and cloud saves will be still be on the Square Enix servers.

 

[yuraya]

I'm a bit tempted to pick up FFXIII even though I've never played a Final Fantasy game and the last JRPG I played was Earthbound.

You can't go wrong with it for $7.99.

Its a solid game and there is like 60+ hours of content in it. Choice of Japanese or English audio. And a damn good combat system. The download size for it is enormous tho = 50GB, so beware.

 

[Mash83]

I really enjoyed Shadowfall and Divinity:OS was probably my GOTY this year. Should I get Wasteland 2? Its been on my radar but I dont know very much about it.

 

[EricTheCleric]

Wasteland 2, Yay or Nay?
I've spent a lot already (by my standards), but at 50% should I go for it?

It is definitely worth the money even at full price.

 

[Salsa]

is anyone doing a lethal league 4pack

If you have even the slightest interest in cRPGs, then WL2 is a no-brainer.

 

[ThreeBeta]

Man I was hoping that ARMA 3 would be cheaper than 30$ ... It was released over a year ago.

There was a 33% discount last week if I remember correctly. I missed it too. Maybe the game will be part of the last day encore.

 

[City 17]

Deep in your heart you know you have to buy it. Yay.

Wasteland 2 is fun, but it's not easy. A fucking. frog. tore my face a new asshole. I was like, 'oh, look, cute mutant froggie sitting on top of some machine guns and ammo I wanted to rummage through...'

Thank you.
You gave me no choice though.

 

[arts&crafts]

Wasteland 2 is insanely hard like...f-zero GX on hard hard. I played on easy and the first rabbit killed 3 of my members before he died.

 

[MUnited83]

Finally a good day in the summer sale

 

[chaosblade]

Glad I bit on FFXIII from SE's store instead of holding out for Steam, and XIII-2 not having a bigger discount means I can just hold off until the next sale. Now fix your game SE.

Would buy Child of Light. But Uplay.

 

[Corpekata]

Wasteland 2 is only really hard at the start of the game since you can't hit for shit. Once you're past the initial 1st big quest it becomes a lot more manageable.

Worth it, even with Uplay.

 

[TheSeks]

You can also play the prototype to get a feel for the basic mechanics.

OMG THE AI IS WRECKING ME BUT SO GOOD.

I kinda want this but no cash. Divekick was a terrible purchase and I knew it but still bought it anyway. This seems like it should be deeper with the back and forth and speeds up per character.

 

[Enco]

Sneaking through a building full of enemies and stealing their food in This War of Mine is one of the most intense gaming experiences I've had recently.

Damn it's scary. Knowing you'll be killed for good if you're caught is crazy.

 

[tim.mbp]

Metal Slug 3 the one with the elephant slugs?

 

[ecosse_011172]

I couldn't resist Child of Light for that price, the backlog of shame grows...

 

[TheSeks]

Metal Slug 3 the one with the elephant slugs?

Yes, kinda. In the ice level.

 

[madp0k]

Got Deadlight for 90p, enjoyed it, great little game.

angela helps a lot with the early game

 

[Card Boy]

Get Child of Light. Amazing RPG and doesn't drag on for like 30+ hrs like most others do.

Awesome sound track too!

[Videospel]

8600GT was what my circa-2008 midrange laptop had. Not happening. And agreed that I can't see the minimum VRAM requirements being less than 1GB.

Do you mean 8600M GT? The laptop version is weaker (only equal in name to the desktop version iirc). And since the 8600GT can play GTA IV it doesn't seem too far fetched.

 

[Salsa]

made a deposit to buy child of light, mainly cause I bought like 1 other game this sale

hope its worth it

 

[The Dear Leader]

The russian division of Rockstar games posted this :

Seems fake to me.

Seems fake, the PS4 version is 50GB, I would imagine the PC version would have higher res textures thus leading to an even bigger size than 50, let alone 35.

It's one of the few albums I've bought in years.

 

[Salsa]

is that +1 quest dlc for child of light worth it

gonna go with no

 

[Dr.Acula]

Wasteland 2 is only really hard at the start of the game since you can't hit for shit. Once you're past the initial 1st big quest it becomes a lot more manageable.

The end game when you're level 30+ you should be pretty OP. Everyone said don't go SMG or shotguns because they're useless. When you're level 10 and have the top-tier of a weap anything is lethal.

 

[Tizoc]

Metal Slug 3 the one with the elephant slugs?

and Ostrich Slugs!

Spoiler

To reach them, be in Stage 3/4 (starts underwater), eventually you'll reach a blockade, destroy it, when you reach the 2nd blockade blocking your path, wait and a 'portal'/tube will show up in the upper right. Enter it and you'll be in a land path wher eyou ride the ostriches

Yes, kinda. In the ice level.

There isn't exactly an ice level; there is an alt. path you can take in stage 2 which leads to a cave. This cave has the elephant slug but you only use it in there, that path is odd and personally serves very little purpose IMO; you just take it to GET the elephant slug, ride it all the way back and then...get off it to go face the stage boss. It's more of a novely than anything because the main regular path seems much easier imo.

 

[Dingotech]

Tried a few games from the sale/modbot -

Hero Seige - This one is quite fun! The way you level up and keep your stats across playthroughs meant I could get a bit further each time and the random levels and enemies kept it interesting. I could do without the silly voice overs from your character... Overall would play again.

One Way Heroics - This one I've only played for 10 minutes and I must say I don't get it... First it loads in a minature window where you can barely see your character, and then it never even bothers to teach you about how to play the game. It just dumps you in and kills you immediately when you don't realise that the screen is rolling across to wipe you out.... I played it twice more and I must say I think I'm done with it.

I love it when games put more pressure on you, but not unfair pressure like older games did.

 

[Labombadog]

As much I would love to buy Wasteland 2 right now I don't think I would be able to justify the purchase considering I have other games I am playing right now. Currently playing Shadowrun Returns and Nier. Once I finish Returns I will more likely start Dragonfall.

 

[Grief.exe]

Seems fake, the PS4 version is 50GB, I would imagine the PC version would have higher res textures thus leading to an even bigger size than 50, let alone 35.

Might be a separate high-res texture pack similar to Max Payne 3, Sleeping Dogs, or Shadow of Mordor.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Yeah could be, otherwise the specs seem pretty reasonable, have to wait and see.

 

[RoyaleDuke]

Hmm, someone on my friends list gifted me Nidhogg man this game is fucking cool.

If you guys want a stylish fencing simulator with Atari graphics, buy it. It's pretty great.

Wasteland 2 is insanely hard like...f-zero GX on hard hard. I played on easy and the first rabbit killed 3 of my members before he died.

So basically this happened:

Spoiler

Did you RUN AWAAAAY?

 

[Stratosphere]

I'm interested in WL2, but curious at the price disparity compared to the Shadowrun games. Does WL2 have a ton more content, better production values, or what justifies the difference in price?

 

[BasilZero]

I think DRM was removed, but you still need to sign up for a Square Enix account, and cloud saves will be still be on the Square Enix servers.

Is that the same account you use for the Squareenix store and to register product codes?

 

[Salsa]

im gonna be that guy and ask if The Fall has been a daily/flash yet

 

[Sourtreats]

Hot damn, I thought this sale was a cheap one for me. But I've still managed to spend £30.

So far I've got:

• South Park Stick of Truth
• Papers, Please
• Outlast and DLC
• Super Time Force
• Transistor
• Shovel Knight

I suppose in previous sales, I've bought older titles that have had bigger discounts. No regrets.

 

[Sarcasm]

Man I have been so safe this sale. Was hoping for The Forest Sale but 33%..yea pass.

 

[Ark]

Nice to hear you guys have spent so little. I've managed to probably spend almost £100 so far. Dammit.

 

[Axass]

I'm a bit tempted to pick up FFXIII even though I've never played a Final Fantasy game and the last JRPG I played was Earthbound.

You've never played a JRPG since Earthbound eh? Why XIII then? Buy FFVII and/or FFVIII instead, they're both much better JRPGs and much better games in general IMO. FFXIII is one of the worst entries in the main series.

 

[Sarcasm]

Nice to hear you guys have spent so little. I've managed to probably spend almost £100 so far. Dammit.

Well..I have a lot of games lol

 

[Card Boy]

Nice to hear you guys have spent so little. I've managed to probably spend almost £100 so far. Dammit.

I have only spent $20 and it wasn't at Steam. Valves loss.

 

[Nemesis121]

Finish Brothers A Tale of Two Sons, it was short but fun..

Spoiler

the ending is fucked up..

 

[Caronte]

Do yourselves a favor and buy Wasteland 2 people.
