Should any of the Sleeping Dogs DLC be considered "must have"?

 

[supaman900s]

So is acquiring "trading cards" the only way to raise your Steam level? I have been doing most of the community votes, but have yet to receive anything like it says you will after three votes - but I just realized it is because I am only at Steam Level 2.

never played SiN

I think it's 720p on 360.

Far from an expert, but I was under the impression that most (if not all) 360 games ran at a native resolution of 720p.

crafting them into badges raises your level, as does buying games.

I think buying games gives you XP as well. Also crafting stuff should.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

Well, I am the little king. Do you think I just used this avatar because I like the game? It suits me. I am little and a king.

There's a list on this thread which details the story DLC. It's about 10-30 pages back. Good luck finding it.

Anyone have a spare Torchlight summer card? I can 1:1 trade the summer versions of
Tomb Raider
Prison
Chivalry
kerbal
Reus

There are also badges for owning a ton of games.

I'm sorry, it just doesn't. There's something that's missing. I haven't played it enough to know for sure, but it's just not there. They certainly try to make the weapons feel punchy, but it just doesn't work. Not /terrible/ shooting mechanics, just not great.

Then play the Fire Bug. Burning things is great in KF, so satisfying. As is shooting but you need to a) level up the classes and b) know which weapons to use and this takes time. At first the weapons aren't punchy because they deal out less damage than later on.

Oh, thank you very much vilmer_, you are awesome.

 

[vilmer_]

Who cares about Half-Life, there needs to be a kickstarter to get Episode 2 in development.

Totally agree!

What game is this fellow GAFfer? I'm serious, never heard of it.

It was a 'sequel' of sorts to the original SiN that was an FPS built on the Quake 2 engine. Episodes was built using the Source engine and is an absolutely phenomenal game in many ways. There were supposed to be 9 episodes in total, but they only released 1

 

[Digoman]

Ok so I think it's time I bought Sleeping Dogs. What is the must have DLC? Anything that adds actual content and not just clothes.

Honestly... none are *must have*. Year of the Snake is probably the best one, but the other "story" ones are just decent diversions.

The base game is more the enough.

Thank you based Noogy, Dust cards are still selling between 30 and 50cents... A fortune in current market!

That's not that great if you want to craft the badge like I am... and I don't know what that says about how much the game sold...

I'm so glad I got to play Last Window.

Yeh I played this with a family member. be careful, there are some terrible game breaking bugs in there, but it's a cool game.

 

[chugen]

so pretty :3

 

[Mugatu]

Oh yeah, I forgot.

Also years in Steam and I think everyone should have access to perform the tasks of the Pillar of the Community badge to get XP.

 

[appaws]

Should any of the Sleeping Dogs DLC be considered "must have"?

Definetly not. The zodiac tournament one is ok, but very short. I love the base game, but IMO the dlc is meh.

Not really, but the police car is handy early on for getting you around.

 

[woo and indeed hoo]

I didn't play the tutorial, so I had no idea what I was doing. It's like FTL but better.

I knew it!

It looks like a worse looking Limbo clone from screenshots. Is it any good?

Accept my friend request and you'll find out!

 

[3phemeral]

I have another copy of SiN Episodes to gift to anyone that wants.

Kinda looks like Summer Glau:

 

[Stephen_drewz]

Are there many hidden gems(75% off as standard etc) this sale that people have come across? I know there is an Indie thread, but surely there is some really good non indie deals out there as well.

I wish you could filter the search to show all games with x% off.

 

[Crayons]

You can't blame me from that. I bought 5 of their games and they only developed 8.

 

[TheNamelessOne]

so pretty :3

Premium?

[HammerOfThor]

So what gives me XP in steam? I'm lvl 4 and I want to get to lvl 5 to get the cards for voting lol.

 

[Volotaire]

I'm going for Amnesia. I'll only be able to play Indie/pre 2010-11 games at Uni with my laptop and short burst games would be perfect (although I know it's long)

2 things:

- I always make a separate thread on the last day with the cheapest deals/recommendations

- this is in the OP:



you can use it to list games in order of savings/price/etc

Check out the community tasks in your badges section. Doing most of those tasks should take you to level 4-5. If you need to get one more level craft a badge for 100 points.
And keep voting, your votes count retro actively once you hit level 5.

 

[3phemeral]

Huh. I have the exact same card only it doesn't say "Premium."

Holy shit, World Basketball Manager 2010 is only £0.87.

 

[derExperte]

Wow, I put 8 hours into Sniper: Nazi Zombie Army which is more than I anticipated but that's it. Shooting zombies in the head is fun with four people but there are so many bugs which sometimes stop you from progressing and aren't even fixable by restarting at the last checkpoint. I swear every third game some important script breaks. Also very little planning is necessary, this is a perfect example for 'better turn your brain off'.

It's awful. Like unplayable-awful. Not even sure how it got approved as a game

is that better than a foil or something

 

[Stephen_drewz]

SiN Episodes has 3 different installs in my library. SiN(600mb), SiN Episodes: Emergence(2gb) and SiN multiplayer.

Do I need both SiN and SiN Episodes or just SiN Episodes?

Thanks

 

[Manabanana]

That's what I thought too, but everyone is too distracted with trading cards to answer my question:

I haven't seen anyone ask about the Assassin Creed games at 75% off but all I'm missing is Revelations. If I paid $5 for AC1-Brotherhood, do I buy the base game Revelations or do I spend another 2.49 for complete?
