Do you like strategic gameplay? Puzzle gameplay? I am sure there are plenty of people it wont appeal to. If you want an honest recommendation, let me know what you like and/or dislike in your games.

I was being ironic, but it's true I'm hesitant on Reus, because I don't know, I already got like thousands of indie game in backlog, and right now I'm more into big lenghty games.

But, anyway. I'm actually very much into strategic (as in TBS more than RTS, because I'm slow as hell), and way less into puzzles (I can't stand math stuff, like in 999, but I like... I dunno... puzzle bobble? :D ).

Overall, the fact is: I'm attracted by Reus, but I feel it's not the right moment, and also I',m expecting it to fall in a Humble Bundle in the next months.

What's worse Bad Rats or Dear Esther?
Click to expand...

Dear Esther. Bad Rats is a fun, comical, and challenging physics based puzzle game that allows you to create your own inventive ways to tackle each brain-teasing objective. The possibilities are limitless.

Dear Esther is emo that tries to hide in vagueness due to it's own lack of conviction and backbone.

You made it so that no one who had taken a code before could take that code, and that you had to have given a code previously. I don't know how many people fit those limited designations now.

Looking at the Total War packs, seems like they're incomplete. Rome: Alexander and Medieval II: Kingdoms expansions aren't included, so even if you bought the Grand Master pack you'd have to get them separate. Are they worth getting?

In general which of the TW games are good for someone who doesn't play a lot of RTS?

You sir are confirmed as having THE worst gaming taste on GAF.


Edit: and this is coming from the guy obsessed with Dynasty Warriors games.

Whaaaaat come on. I mean I can get why someone would joke about the appeal and all but the game is actually really well made.

Plus it features Ryan Reynolds so at least it's got that.

I'm staring at the Fallout New Vegas timer. I already played it on Xbox 360, but I don't own it on Steam. But I don't want to spend money on a game I already played because what if a game I haven't played goes on sale? Tick tick tick. Help me GAF. I don't know what to do.

Sanctum 1 is a Tower Defence game with FPS mechanics. Sanctum 2 is a FPS with Tower Defence mechanics. I hope this helps. If not : Its fun with people. It is fucking boring alone.

Thanks for the reply bud. I think I'll hold off for now and use the money for Dishonored instead.

Well, if you dont want to spend the money now or whatever, thats perfectly fine. I just feel that these devs absolutely deserve every purchase I can convince others to do due to the amount of passion and love they put in the product. Its one of those games that just makes me feel happy thinking about it because its just so well made with much love for detail that wouldnt be made from big developers anymore.

You can and need to play this slowly, pausing a lot, but the game has some puzzle like nature to it where you build different elements of the surroundings (minerals, animals, plants) and try to activate symbiosis' to maximize the output these plants give (research, money and food). Finding some suitable combinations and patterns will take some thinking and testing, if that might be a "puzzle" mechanic that might turn you off. But really, its just a delightful game that I would love to see expanded on.

Absolutely and, honestly, that's why I really think it's better for people to only go with what they had an interest in prior to the beginning of the sales or, alternatively, keeping money in your account until there is something you know you'll enjoy. If you don't, and you get tempted by the prices, you can very easily spend a significant amount of money not realising it. Somebody on a previous page mentioned that Steam, more than anything else, teaches you that cents add up over time and it's absolutely true both for spending and selling; everything begins to add up over time. On the other hand though, it's an absolutely amazing way to sample a large, diverse seletcion of games that you may not have otherwise tried, provided you have the funds of course.

Couldn't agree more. This is the first time I've gone into a sale without budgeting or setting a limit and I've already spent more than I have any in any other sale. Trying to stick to only buying things I've thrown on my wishlist over the last few months helps, but I still don't want to look at my bank balance in a week or so.

To be fair, money from cards has been a nice little bonus this time round that's taking the edge off.
