[Warnen]

Bought 2 copies of Depth, looks fun.

 

[MrTeachwell]

Hmm. Seems some of the games I actually would want are cheaper on Nuuvem, anyway. Guess I could purchase something there instead.

I stumbled onto this site which lists upcomming sale prices for nuuvem

Thinking of checking out total war rome 2 at that price

 

[Willy Wanka]

Does anybody know whether the Stronghold and Stronghold Crusader games in the 'Stronghold Collection' are the patched HD versions? I see you can buy those seperately but I was wondering if the ones in the collection were different. Cheers.

 

[RK9039]

Ultra SFIV would be nice with more than 15% off.

That would be cool, I'd buy some of the costume packs I don't have yet.

Maybe Blazblue would be nice to have, but unfortunately I can only get Calamity Trigger which doesn't have multiplayer.

Ooh, nice! Thanks for sharing.

 

[Gaz Pwnage]

Bought me the Trine Collection. Another 2 games off the wishlist

 

[Darth Kupi]

I have this and have yet to boot it up... What do you think makes it stand apart from other shooters currently?

Basically its a perfect middle ground between the realism of ARMA and the accessibility of CoD. Before I knew it my playtime had crossed 50 hours without me even realizing it.

If military shooters are a spectrum with regards to realism vs. arcadiness

ARMA > Insurgency = Red Orchestra = Verdun = Classic Rainbow 6 > CounterStrike > Battlefield > Call of Duty

Plus the co-op is awesome, really harkens back to Swat4 and old Rainbow 6 games, so theres actually 2 games in one, the PvE co-op and the PvP multiplayer, all following the no crosshair no HuD hardcore realistic weapons and damage gameplay. There is a LOT of "game" in this game.

Watch the trailer on its store page, see if it grabs you. I really love the nighttime gameplay.

Here are some of my thoughts from when we were discussing it in the steam thread.

[Confrontation]

Yes, its a very similar alley in design.

I just noticed it doesn't run on XP, which my PC still is. Damnit.

 

[ExoSoul]

The gimmick is rather underwhelming this time.

It's not a gimmick, it's permanent.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

Bought Euro Truck Simulator at the last minute because it sounds like fun.

Did I do good?

I'd say you did. I played the demo quite a lot and had it in my cart but lost access to the store before I could buy..

It's surprisingly fun

 

[darkchewie]

Anyone have any recommendations for a 4 year old kid? For some ideas, he likes playing Little Inferno, there's no lose condition there and he just sits and burns stuff but he's getting bored of it.

I think the Scribblenauts series of games (Unlimited, Unmasked, etc.) are great for younger children and older, and can be a good learning experience too (new words, word association, problem solving with context clues, etc).

It also has all sorts of popular characters and items too, officially or from the Steam Workshop, that can be added to keep the interest up.

oh I just thought of another recommendation, the toy story 3 game has 'toy box' mode. I haven't played it myself but I'm pretty sure you just mess around with the toy story characters.

 

[eot]

Wonder if DkS2 DLC will go on sale

 

[Gaz Pwnage]

Prison Architect £3.99, worth?

I think I will bite since its been on my wishlist forever

 

[Anteater]

playing lost planet

shit still looks so good

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

Borderlands 2: GOTY is a daily? Why isn't it showing on the main page?

 

[Polishin8r]

It's Brazilian and yes, as long as the game has steamworks.

nice, thank you kindly

 

[Videospel]

Deus Ex GOTY is pretty cheap now at 1.74€. I know a lot of people love it, but is it really as playable today? I remember trying it out some years ago, and I remember how sluggish I found it. The character seemed to move so slowly. Maybe you can upgrade your speed or something later in the game? I really want to like it.

I bought it, and now I see why I found it sluggish. I don't know if it's just my computer, but the game has micro slowdowns every second or so. It keeps 60 fps, but it's like every third step is taken in jelly. This is also noticeable when jumping, it's like having a parachute most of the time. This is incredibly frustrating.

But I looked into the game's .ini-file and set vsync ON. Strangely enough, this seems to actually have turned vsync OFF. The game now runs much faster and at an even speed, with very high fps. It should be much more fun to play now.
*edit*
This appears to instead have made the game too fast. Dialogue lines are cut prematurely and running speed is probably a lot faster than it should be. Oh well, beats the sluggishness anyway...

 

[KarmaCow]

Borderlands 2: GOTY is a daily? Why isn't it showing on the main page?

It's on sale alongside The Pre-Sequel, which was a daily yesterday, and dailies actually last two days.

Are you just looking for games he can play by himself?

Definitely sounds a lot more interesting than I had originally thought. Thanks for the impressions, I'll definitely be giving it a go later today.

I think there might be some issues with unloked FPS in Deus Ex, like dialogue skipping. I recommend installing the DX10 renderer that you'll find with some quick googling.

 

[bbd23]

Yeah I can already tell im going to like dreamfall.

looks beautiful

 

[Mass_Pincup]

I still haven't bought anything, it feels weird.

Oh and everyone vote for Bulletstorm, a truly fun FPS, one of the best of last gen imo.

 

[Human_me]

Prison Architect £3.99, worth?

It worth that price.
I bought it last years winter sale.

I still play it to this day.

Already did. Really wish they'd patch Steamworks in for GFWL. The game deserves it... come on Epic, don't make me shoot you in the dick.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

Which link? Also I'm passed I missed the Monaco flash. Was going to pick it up for my brother to play some coop together. Argh!

Hope you entered my giveaway
(Post #2531)

 

[ss_lemonade]

Is Ryse good for the daily price its at? The graphics always looked amazing in trailers and other media but I'm just worried about the mix of "Recommended" and "Not Recommended" reviews in steam.

I also wonder if my 780 will be enough to 60fps this game

Get the DX10 renderer. It fixes issues like that and it adds widescreen resolutions I think.

Damn right.
Lost Planet 2 at 60 fps looks amazing.

 

[Pezus]

Region locked so I can't even vote for it lol. I think it won't win if it's region locked in many other places

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Where's the vote?

 

[thereisnoif]

Only bought Toy Soldiers today. Its -80%

Still waiting for Toy Soldiers Complete to come out of EA for that glorious co-op/multiplayer.

 

[darkchewie]

Where's the vote?

The Community Choice vote is right below the Dailies and Flash Deals.

Edit: Well, it's usually there, seems missing at the moment.

Steam's been down for me for about 10 minutes.

Its definitely up there in the highest tier of indie games alongside Hotline Miami, FTL, Binding of Isaac etc.

 

[James93]

Indeed. I spenta lot of hours in that game. Pretty addictive for the first few plays.

Oooooh. The Golf Club on sale. What is the status of that game? Very playable and enjoyable?

Have they been updating pretty regularly? I was extremely interested in that game around the time they opened up early access.

Some what not as much as they probably should

 

[Mass_Pincup]

It's region locked too? It's a shame Epic/EA are letting this game die a slow death, it was really good.

 

[Shepard]

I'm quite impressed by how good Ethan Carter looks and runs in 4k. Feels like a moving artwork. Jaw-droppingly good.

 

[Lomax]

It's region locked too? It's a shame Epic/EA are letting this game die a slow death, it was really good.

All GWFL games are limited to certain regions. The levels of terrible to GFWL are never-ending.

Dear Steam Gaf,

Should I?

I'm undecided... I only have Unity, but I have played all of this games except for Liberations and Freedom Cry on consoles (PS3). Figured it would be nice to have the collection.
