So since most people seemed to miss this, I'll post this again here: I am selling euro truck simulator 2 for 5.5$ steam wallet. Almost half off the sale price .

How do you sell it for steam funds? Do you have it listed in the market?

 

[Duebrithil]

Probably been asked before but, is any of the Magicka DLC worth picking up? Enough content in the base game?

 

[RionaaM]

It is.

75% OFF fellow GAFfer

Yeah, 75% off.

YES.

The bad thing is that I need to clean my PC yet again, even though it's been less than a month since the last time I did it. Last night I tried to play the first Civ 5 tutorial and after 20 minutes it started overheating and the CPU underclocked itself (or that's what I believe always happens in that case), which meant the game slowed to a crawl. Same with XCOM's demo 2 days before. I really hate having to dust it off, but what can I do? The alternative would be not playing anything, and...

You know what? That's actually the right way of winning on Steam: not playing the stuff I buy.

I've been tempted to add it to my collection (of games I may never play!) as it looks pretty good, but I don't play those type of games so am unsure whether to bite the bullet or not.

Me neither, but I really liked the demo (once it stopped being a cutscene orgy, that is). I also liked Fire Emblem Awakening's demo on 3DS, and XCOM felt a bit similar to that one (I should get it someday).

 

[DSmalls84]

Kind of on the fence about Sim City? Is that the lowest it has been?

No, you buy me 3 of these http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/440/Mann Co. Supply Crate Key?l=english . Which you trade me for a copy of euro truck sim 2 .

 

[lmpaler]

Bloodlines is the best content ever associated with V:tM and the one of the best wRPGs of all time. Really blows away any of the content being put out by other wRPG developers today.

Well shit. Time to dust off Redemption and pick up Bloodlines

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Far Cry 3 only -40%?

Ubi pls

 

[kurtrussell]

oh sorry i thought you actually wanted an answer to how they were different, instead you just wanted to remind everyone how you feel about something you don't like

Oh come on, don't be like that. I honestly glossed over the whole "fraud" thing and read it as "unethical behaviour" because I genuinely thought you were being hyperbolic.

From what I remember at the time, they launched a game and advertised a bunch of features that didn't make it in. Doesn't seem much different to many MMORPGS that constantly nerf, reduce things and launch with the intention of patching things in later. I think to call it "fraud" is a little harsh. The game as it is now, looks to be a much improved version of what originally launched, and does indeed have many of the missing advertised features.

Surely fraud should be reserved for the Bernie Madoffs of the world? This seemed like a classic case of overpromising and underdelivering.

 

[Cheddahz]

How's Tropico 4?

How's Tropico 4?

Great game

 

[marrec]

Well shit. Time to dust off Redemption and pick up Bloodlines

I suggest patching it with community developed patches, but it's not really necessary (Not like STALKER).

Also, avoid Malkavian on your first playthrough.

 

[Miletius]

Van Hellsing is mine! I think I'm done with the sale. Maybe.... Monaco. But, no more big purchases.

 

[antitrop]

Man, I wonder how many people got sucked into War-Z because of the namechange.

For that concept and with that price?

Plenty. It's already #6 in Under $5.

 

[kennah]

How's Tropico 4?

I never bothered to get past the separate log in. So glad that game had a free weekend.

You can read about the game yourself and make your own decision about it.

It is seriously pretty fun if you're into those city building games. Shouldn't be missed.

I like tycoon games like RCT3 and such, would it appeal to me?

Yes

 

[PepperJack]

Question for you guys.

Dark Souls, with the fix, and 360 controller on PC.

Is it worth getting if I've already played on PS3??

If so, what are the major pluses, and how many extra hours of content is there really?

 

[Stimpack]

This was obviously just his way of complaining about Phil Fish. I don't think he cares much about anything else that could be said.

 

[JaseC]

What does flash deal have to do with cards?

Preference is given to games with cards. This much is obvious, and Valve isn't going to make an almost-two-year-old indie game a featured deal without them.

 

[Martian]

Steam Survivor Series.

Nice, shall I kickstart this idea

 

[ShinobiFist]

Fez is supposed to be a good game. And as far as I know Phil Fish didn't falsely advertise his game, blamed customers for misreading when called out, made up his own rules on the Steam forums so he could silence and ban criticism, and then continued to break promises, mislead and disrespect for all eternity. Also Fez wasn't a rushed out, janky ripoff exploiting the popularity of an indie mod, and abusing the goodwill of the Minecraft model so they could put out a buggy piece of crap in order to beat Dean Hall to a commercial release.

Hammerpoint is a fraudulent scumbag company.

I got FEZ during the sale, and is one of the most refreshing games I played next to FTL. I don't know much about Phil Fish, but from what I've read, people are acting like he killed someone. Phil seems very passionate, from what I've gather from the Indie movie, and some interviews.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Wow, Van Helsing looks pretty good. Never knew this game existed. Is it good?

 

[Salsa]

Just woke up, these arent that bad. Sang-Froid, Van Helsing and specially Risen 2 are probably stuff i'd get if I wasn't on a pretty limited budget right now waiting for other specific deals.

Mhh, might grab one later, we'll see

 

[Rickenslacker]

Also, avoid Malkavian on your first playthrough.

This is one thing I'll disagree with. I'm not saying it has to be the first playthrough as it's generally considered mandatory to at least play through as a Malk eventually with it being one of the most unique experiences you can get in an RPG, but I'd say that first playthrough Malking is ideal if anything.

If you know what's going on with the knowledge of your prior playthroughs that spoils a bit of the fun, being truly insane without you as a player ever really knowing what's what is amazing.

 

[DSmalls84]

How's Tropico 4?

I enjoy it. It's basically a Communist Island Building Sim with political options and Cold War era humor.

Can't give an exact number on hours, but it's substantial content (same as console DLC that came out way later). The graphics are substantially better on PC, FROM created textures with extremely fine detail that were never even meant to be seen properly, until Durante.

It's worth a replay. DSFix is really fantastic, Durante did so much hard work.

 

[PixyJunket]

Probably been asked before but, is any of the Magicka DLC worth picking up? Enough content in the base game?

Vietnam, Dungeons & Daemons, The Stars are Left and The Other Side of the Coin are the ones that have real content (plus achievements).

PS: Wizard Survival Kit has a pimp wizard hat.

 

[Stimpack]

I like tycoon games like RCT3 and such, would it appeal to me?

For sure. I liked it a lot, and I feel it probably satisfies that tycoon itch. The zaniness is also pretty appealing.

 

[FloppyDelux]

bought my first game, which is dark souls! this better be as good as Demonsouls ( which i still need to beat)

 

[jshackles]

Preference is given to games with cards. This much is obvious.

Speaking of which, what are the new cards for today? All I can tell is Dead Island (original, may have been part of yesterday's thing), Cities in Motion 2, Port Royale 3, and MacGuffin's Curse.

Am I missing anything?

 

[antitrop]

Wow, Van Helsing looks pretty good. Never knew this game existed. Is it good?

It's one of the best loot ARPGs to be released in the last few years, co-op is kinda broken though.

Thanks but I'll pass - I don't need it right away anyways and i hate buying stuff from the market. Such a pain in the ass.

The DLC content adds a few hours and features some absolutely marvelous boss fights, plus Durante's fix adds the option for greatly increased rendering resolution as well as an uncapped framerate, both of which combine to make the game much better-looking and responsive if your PC can handle it.

There's so much great art and while I still thought it was a pretty game on PS3 due to that, the texture work really, really shines through on PC at higher resolutions.

How about this:

The Malkavian playthrough is A-MAZING, but it may be a bit intimidating for someone who's not well verse in V:tM lore. So if you do play through a Malk first and you're not having a good time, switch to a different race and give it another go.

 

[Stimpack]

bought my first game, which is dark souls! this better be as good as Demonsouls ( which i still need to beat)

I felt it was a little better. I very much enjoyed the open world aspects of Dark Souls compared to the stages that Demon's Souls had.

 

[Cheddahz]

Looks like I'm picking up Tropico 4 then, thanks guys!

 

[Nymphae]

Thanks Nymphae, awesome giveaway.

You are very welcome, enjoy the game

 

[qazqaNii]

How is binding of isaac? Like what are you supposed to do?

Euro Truck Simulator 2, or did that already have cards? I don't remember.

 

[jshackles]

Wow, Van Helsing looks pretty good. Never knew this game existed. Is it good?

It's good. Get it.

That seems to be it.

Thanks. Adding the new profile backgrounds to Enhanced Steam.

 

[Socreges]

Company of Heroes

Seen some games three times, I swear. At least it's meant that I've spent less money than I anticipated.

Ok well i can also take paypal if that's easier for you!

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Awesome. Is it basically Diablo/Torchlight? Is the looting addictive?

 

[Stimpack]

Looks like I'm picking up Tropico 4 then, thanks guys!

Hope you like it, man! There aren't a lot of games like that coming out nowadays.

 

[ShinobiFist]

Holy shit, Van Helsign is 19gigs :O

Yeah, that's sound advice.
