In the spirit of citybuilding games: buy Stronghold 2!

 

[73V3N]

GOG has the better selection, would love to see the city builder series on Steam.

Children of the Nile: Enhanced Edition
Grand Ages: Rome
CivCity: Rome

Anno, Cities XL, Sim City and Tropico series may be worth a look too.

Zeus is still god among these mere mortals.

Wow looks like i've been missing out of games, I just added them all to my wishlist, thanks!

time to sleep now, thanks everyone for your replies.

 

[scorpscarx]

It's a shame valve doesn't open an android market place. Would love the steam prices on mobile gaming.

Or is that silly talk?

That's definitely silly dangerous talk territory.

 

[Grief.exe]

Where is the Dust: An Elysian Tail sale?

More people need to experience that game.

 

[KiwiLannister]

Casualties:

System Shock 2
Sleeping Dogs
Chivalry:Medieval Warfare
Ys I & II Chronicles
Ys Origin
Hotline Miami
Half Life 2 + Episodes (got this when it was on sale just before the proper summer sale started)
Fallout 3 GOTY
Fallout NV Ultimate
Legend of Grimrock
FTL: Faster Than Light

.....

I'm going to be busy. Hopefully the only other games I buy are Dark Souls PTD, Alpha Protocol, Morrowind GOTY and perhaps Myst/Riven. Not bad for my first steam sale.

 

[fantomena]

What's the difference between all the Trackmania games?

 

[MikeDip]

So if I could only get one cheap Total war game, which to get? Rome?

 

[JaseC]

I think it was StuBurns who described Episode One as a continuation of the best Half-Life 2 has to offer, and I'd agree, but this is also why I don't think it's overly special: the campaign is just more of the same. Episode Two, on the other hand, is utterly fantastic.

Just a heads up, the collection is $5.

 

[SolidSnakesMyStepDad]

Alright guys I'm gonna head out. Maybe tomorrow I will win a Kerbal giveaway. Lol. See all of you tomorrow.

I was under the impression you had not played Episode 2 yet.

[ShizWhiz]

I've got a pretty small purchase list so far:

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare
Surgeon Simulator 2013
The Witcher 2
Fallout: New Vegas

I'm pretty happy with what I've chosen though, seeing as they all have quite a lot of hours in playing them.

 

[WisK]

Thinking about buying The Witcher 2 despite not enjoying the first one very much. Can anyone sell me on it? Specifically the ways it improves on the first.

 

[kOsmikcoffee]

Guys.

GUYS.

Terreria is actually

Spoiler

fun.

 

[Raxus]

I need help. Poker Night 2 keeps crashing on me. What is going on?

 

[Polioliolio]

I bought Fallout 3 in last year's summer sale for 5 bucks with all DLC, and haven't touched it yet.

Should I bother doing the same with New vegas?

Any opinions on which one is better?


Are they both a bit boring and uninteresting? Is it just brown scifi Skyrim?

 

[Pancakes]

Interesting error on Steam when you buy the Firaxis pack from amazon. Got duplicate entries I can't install hmmm.

Also, I made 3 bucks from selling the junky cards in my inventory woohoo.

 

[Dmax3901]

Cards finally got me to keep playing Bastion, great game, not sure why I stopped playing...

Imperium Romanum was just in an indie bundle. Someone on GAF might have a key just sitting in their email if you ask around. It's not a great game, but if you're in that kinda mood you might be able to find it free or close to it.

I have this issue and apparently it's the Mac version also showing up. They already know about it but won't do anything to fix it.

 

[JaseC]

I was under the impression you had not played Episode 2 yet.

No, I just recommend that others wait until Half-Life 3 is nearing release as the ending makes the wait all the more worse.

 

[Jørdan]

Cities XL is horrible. Don't buy that.

Edit- And Anno 2070 is always online.

Good info thanks, wasn't recommending all those just saying some of these titles are available.

same with GTA

I've played about 3 hours so far, and the only way I can really explain its improvements over the first is that it's so much shinier. Everything about the game just plays better than the first, the combat is actually enjoyable this time around, it's paced brilliantly and it definitely holds my interest for quite a while. I definitely recommend buying it at the price it's at now.

 

[Pancakes]

Ahhh. I see.

 

[Pestilence11]

So far:

Hotline Miami
FTL: Faster Than Light
Just Cause 2
Surgeon Simulator 2013
McPixel (gf keeps saying it in his voice annoying her)
Shatter
Critical Mass
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare

Was hoping for a better deal on KSP and tempted to get NV because it's bad on PS3 where I do have it.

Duplicate entries are normal. One's the PC version and the other is the Mac version.

Except for that dang antlion gauntlet. I'll never forgive it, Valve's better than that!

Cheapest: Rome
Best: Shogun 2

Thanks for your post. I had asked before for those types of games. Have you played the three you linked? Deciding between civ and grandages.

Oh god just wait until the update, it's going to be overwhelmingly big.

 

[kasane]

So i bought fallout 3. Hope i won't be disappointed.

Have you played New Vegas yet? Or is this your first Fallout?

Make sure to get mods. Mods mods mods!

 

[pock3tmonster]

I ran into similar problems. Try using the beta launcher. That fixed any issues I had.

I tried the beta launcher but had no luck. Running on Windows 8 if it helps.

 

[JaseC]

Duplicate entries are normal. One's the PC version and the other is the Mac version.

It's actually uncommon: the Civ IV games and GTA3-era GTA titles are the only dupes in my library. The issue is that the Mac versions are not flagged as such so they erroneously appear within the Windows Steam client.

 

[NingenJanai]

You won't, it's so good I finished it on 360 and double dipped on steam for the GOTY.

 

[kasane]

Have you played New Vegas yet? Or is this your first Fallout?

My first. Skipped on new vegas under a friends recommendation. And yea i wont forget mods

New Vegas is much better in my opinion, but have fun!

 

[morningbus]

If your friend's intention was for you to skip New Vegas for Fallout 3 only because it would be harder to go from NV to F3, then I agree.

Otherwise, reconsider your friendship with this person.

Honestly the story is much better in FO3 then in New vegas.

Hopefully he meant not skip it altogether, many would consider NV the definitive Fallout experience of the current gen. Lots of improvements both mechanically and narratively to 3.
