I'm having some fun with Sniper Elite V2, but I'm also somewhat torn on it. On one hand, the sniping is pretty damn cool and honestly I can't get enough from seeing Nazi skulls explode. On the other hand the gameplay is getting repetitive (~6 Hrs in) where you start a level > kill some soldiers along to the way to the objective > do some sniping from the objective > kill some soldiers along to the way to the exit. Rinse and repeat. Luckily the level design is alright and the game looks good as well.

I'm also not sure if the game wants me to use stealth or go out guns blazing at times. When a new wave of enemies gets spawned (I hate that mechanic) they instantly know where I am, making it impossible for me to sneakily pick them off. So I'm just constantly popping in and out of cover shooting their faces off, like some demented form of Nazi Whack-A-Mole.

Then again, I'm not really complaining since I got it for free and like I said: Lining up that perfect shot and seeing the impact of the bullet and the destruction of Nazi skulls is pretty awesome.

So I'm playing Sniper Elite V2 and I get to the mission where you blow up a bridge. I blow it, and then you're suppose to destroy a tank by shooting a fuel can on it, except I can't see the fuel can. The tank just sits there and takes pot shots at me, but never turns around, so if the tank is on the other side of it, I'm screwed because I don't think there's a way to get around it.

Well what do you know.
Gonna call up my friend and tell him about this since he wants TR 2013.
Of course after seeing all those deals he might not stop there
and I WON'T let him stop there; it's what Jase would do!

Do most purchases from green man gaming work on Steam? I bought one once but had to use a GMG client but that was awhile ago.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
ugh im probably gonna grab this but I dont want to

ugh ugh ugh problems

I really have no reason to buy it either--I can't imagine it'd be much improved (particularly for the effort involved in improving it) by playing the PC versions over the emulated PSX versions. And I'm not really compelled to replay those titles either.

But it's only six bucks in playfire money. And you get to have Final Fantasy games on your Steam account.

A game page on GMG will tell you if it requires steam. Far as I know all their S-E games require Steam.

Ok cool, thats actually what I was looking for. I'm looking to keep the games nice in tidy in one client. I'm specifically looking at that FF 7 and 8 bundle.

Sweet jeebus in less than a day that Last Guardian thread is at 4000 posts, by end of the day it might even surpass the Steam thread...

There are fan patches and mods to improve FF7. I think it's like 10 GB or whereabouts.

Weird that GMG added Squeenix deals but Playfire added rewards for Paradox titles.

Yeah, only these. I was expecting rewards for Hitman, Tomb Raider, Thief, Deus Ex and Sleepy Dawgies. The FF ones probably require more time and dedication than the games I mentioned so fewer people will be able to get them

True, the Ifrit cheevo in FF8 is easy as you just need to defeat the first boss.

I'm currently playing remember me and it sure does look nice

I really liked Remember Me but I was never able to finish it because there was one boss fight that required a specific combo or set of moves or something and I just wasn't dextrous enough to be able to execute it. It was months ago so I don't remember exactly what it was but it was something like going around a corner in an alley and then you got to a dead end area, there were several enemy grunts as well as the boss and there was something specific you had to do to beat him.
 
I need something new to play .

Now the question is , which one Remember me or Wolfenstein TNO ?

havent played wolfenstein but remember me has a great setting and an ok story. Combat however I thought was a trainwreck and it is clearly the weakpoint of the game as it's not fun or at least I thought so. It's defiantly worth a playthrough but you most likely won't play it more than once if you like you like to play games more than once.

That Hitman pack doesn't include the Sniper Challenge either, right? That's literally the only thing I want and I think I'd have to buy the Absolution Elite edition to get it.

Been barely playing any games this year. So busy with my own stuff.

That said, finally got around to playing some Renegade Ops co-op with a friend. I had bought but not touched it since at least two Christmas sales ago. Good fun so far.

Awesome. I got that 25% percent off voucher from that other thread and made a nice little purchase for my new Asus T100.

FF7/8 bundle
Age of Mythology Extended
Command and Conquer Ultimate Collection

for $30, not bad. Shame CandC is Origin only.
