Graviteam Tactics: Operation Star is on sale at bundlestars for 4.49 (normally 30):
http://www.bundlestars.com/store/graviteam-tactics-operation-star/

(I have it on my waitlist but it's still too pricey for my budget.)

Graviteam Tactics: Operation Star is a sequel to Achtung Panzer: Kharkov 1943. It’s an Eastern Front war game with solid graphics and sprawling battlefields that really emphasizes the scope of WWII tank combat.

 

[cyberheater]

Aliens: Colonial Marines is back on Steam with all DLC.

Midweek madness pls. I need Stasis Interrupted.

Ignore what gaf says shepple. The patched version of Colonial Marines on PC is a decent game and well worth playing if you're into the Aliens films.

That's a joke, right?

No. Especially to the last part.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Don't worry I agree with you.
It's a decent game for 5 bucks.

 

[Kiru]

I found a nice stage for Jawmuncher in a racing game. Imagine that!

 

[ashecitism]

Both the steam store image and the desription says closed beta.

Not that hard to confirm.

BRB using imagination since no pics

I agree, I enjoyed the game, too bad sheeple won't give it a chance.

ignore this and play Isolation instead.

I guess its better than Bioshock Infinite but eh, that $5 could buy Duke Nukem Forever instead.

None of the patches fixed the awful shooting mechanics unfortunately.

 

[Lomax]

January 28/29, depending on your time zone. Doesn't look like there'll be a pre-purchase period. $15.

While I'll no doubt pick up the Steam version eventually, I'm much more interested in this on my tablet. Hopefully they don't plan on charging $15 for that version.

 

[Speevy]

That Abstract bundle is really good. Why can't Bundlestars do more really good bundles like that?

 

[Jawmuncher]

I guess its better than Bioshock Infinite but eh, that $5 could buy Duke Nukem Forever instead.

Still have no regrets over putting AC:M in my GOTY list and leaving Bioshock Infinite in the cold.

I wrote a very long and what I think is fair take on the game here last year, and I have to say I don't agree. It's a dull, poor game--and I don't think it's either an ambitious failure or an interesting study in failure:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=79605513&postcount=13248

The DLC is a little better, I think, but still inherits most of the game's problems:

I am a sheeple so I guess people should ignore me, but I feel like I'm decent at bleating.

I got mine through e-mail. On mobile so I can't add it to my library, but the e-mail calls it a Closed Beta.

They're resetting progress on the 20tb of this month and rewarding beta players with credits, but you have to play it on Steam to get them. That might suggest an opening of it?

 

[Shadownet]

I just rejoined the master race so I decided to have this thread open in a tab

Why settle for mediocrity when there's still so much great stuff out there? Honestly.

Went ahead and picked up NFS: Most Wanted from GMG since it's cheap and can still use the 22% off

Duke Nukem Forever? That $5 is better spent on a sandwich.

Or being set on fire.

Wow, really?

Bioshock Infinite was not a horrible game. At least it had a cool story and good graphics.

Colonial Marines was a chore.

Agreed--this could be an excellent touch-controlled tablet game. Decisions decisions.

What would also be awesome would be an HD edition World of Xeen for PC and tablets.

 

[ViviOggi]

I'd rather play CM for a month than two seconds of TLoU though

 

[Locust]

Wow, really?

Both CM and Bioshock Infinite had awful combat and boring "fight off a wave of samey enemies, proceed to next area" design as far as I remember.

DNF was more varied at least.

i'm still playing ff13, it's a drag after gran pulse, damn i just wanted to take some pictures in the last few zones

I defeated all bosses on the plan of FFXIII-2.
It took ages :S

Even the DLC Colosseum ones?

Well I'm not so sure about that. I went from a 8800GTS to a GTX 970. The 8800 was a monster though, and (sort of) ran everything I cared to throw at it.

 

[Kurt Russell]

I will always be grateful to my old 8800 gtx, it required so much power at the moment that I never had to change my PSU after that.

Yep. The PSU I bought for it is still going strong in the gf's PC. I recently cleaned both my 8800's and they still idle'd at 68 °C and I'm in the UK were its freezing.

 

[The Dear Leader]

I post some impressions until know about FFXIII-2. Yes, is better and enjoyable, but:

-as in FFXIII, backtracking here is massive. Too massive. Since there are several side missions in the game, you need to travel back and forth on time to the same location in order to obtain items needed to proceed with the mission. This applies both for side-quests and main missions. It's funny the first two times, then it got boring.
-only four characters important for the story. Excluding some cameo in and there (

Spoiler

Snow and Hope, until now

), the game is about Noel, Serah,

Spoiler

Caius and Yeul...with multiple versions of those two.

. The plot iself is really, really, really weak:

Spoiler

Serah and Noel basically need to fix time paradoxes, so the real..past/future will reveal.

-it's a recycle fiesta. Locations are usually small, but the game recycle a good chunk of places from FFXIII, even if they are a bit different. The same sadly applies to monsters: maybe they are different in colors, but they are exactly the same from FFXIII. Even the four optional bosses I just fought, well, are from FFXIII.
-levelling up is very, very easy and fast. This is not a bad thing, because on FFXIII you can't level up as you want if you don't proceed with the story. Here there's not this limitation. The fact that side-quests give you additional CP is a good think. Sadly I really dislike the random encounter system. In some locations the ratio is HUGE, and really you can't do two steps without triggering a fighting. Yes, you can run away, usually, but sometime monsters spawn exactly in your face, and you can't avoid them.
- the fact the third member of your party is a monster is just because SE didn't bother on creating a new character with personality etc. Having a monster, by the way, is really usefull, depending on how you level it up and the monster. I found a Behemot-like mob, only he stays like a human, and that is very usefull, doing a lot of damage.
-soundtrack, again, is not good. A lot of theme are recycled from FFXIII, and new ones are not so good for me. I'm not a jpop fan, but I really liked themes like Eyes on me, 1000 Words, Suteki Da Ne etc. Here there's nothing like that. Until now, I found just one theme from Academya that is really cool, but nothing memorable.

But the real question is how much electricity does it use to idle all the cards? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Oh yeah, I finally remembered to add the Skyrim Dawnguard DLC that I snagged from Amazon for a fiver over winter break. I now have the two major DLC's that I cared about and I didn't have to drop more than ten for the set. I think I might just wait on the "Legendary Edition" of the next elder scrolls game....
