I'm considering Torchlight. Never played a Dialbo/loot game. Can't say I get excited over the prospect of managing endless loot.

If you've got the cash, get Torchlight 2 for $20. It comes with Torchlight 1.

I also kind of want Test Drive... Is Driver actually any good?

TDU2 is supposed to be worse than the first game. I was in the beta and thought it was trash.

Driver is amazing. My favourite racing game since NFS Underground.

Ya do NOT buy TDU2...I bought it last sale and it is terrible...

 

[bigace33]

Vote NFS, that game is awesome. Driver has the silliest story in a driving game I have ever seen. It's ok but I definitely don't get the GAF Hype/praise for that game.

 

[legacyzero]

Voted Driver I wants it also hehe

Same here.

I want!

 

[Dilly]

Vote driver, I want it!

TDU2 isn't worth it.

 

[bigace33]

Oh god there were dkr spoilers? F whoever did that shit.

lol who doesn't know how this story is going to go? I mean, they are ripping this straight from a Batman story arc. Unless you are a non comic book reading fool, then you already know how this story goes. Even in the commercials you see the premise.

NFS is one of my favorite racing games released in years. Beat it twice and double dipped on it. But I can't praise it to much right now cause I want people to vote for Driver. So NFS is crap...ya that's right click on that Driver vote people

If the idea doesn't appeal to you, don't play them. I always hated the idea of loot, never played diablo. Then I tried loot games and found them just as boring as i had expected. All you do is find new equipment, so if that doesn't appeal to you there's nothing there.

 

[Sysgen]

Can't say I agree with this. My Shelby GT lasted me all the way up to the Lamborghini, and even when I did lose, regardless of the vehicle, I never felt it was because of rubber band AI, but rather an earlier mistake. All in all, I found the AI rather fair; it punishes (but not unfairly so, unless you really fuck up) racing faux pas but rewards good driving.

I'm speaking of most of the race events. I purposely slowed down multiple times and the AI slowed down also or was easily overcome. No debate. For the most part have not seen such horrific rubber banding in years though I'll give the game credit for disguising it well.

Rubber band AI doesn't mean what you think it means.

 

[bs000]

I bought Driver SF when it was a not summer sale daily deal. I finished the story and wanted to play online but couldn't find any other players. And then I was sad.

 

[MmmSkyscraper]

This is so correct, it hurts. TDU2 is a festering pile of shit.

 

[bigace33]

Great man, thanks for the spoiler.

 

[The One Who Knocks]

I've just got on the internet after arriving in Spain and getting it installed and not only am I incredibly glad to have gotten on while Just Cause 2 was on sale but I'm also incredibly glad to see it as the top seller. I guess the mutliplayer mod has really promoted sales which is good as it definitely deserves them.

 

[Snuggles]

Oh god there were dkr spoilers? F whoever did that shit.

And as I was skimming, I saw someone praising xelios. Yes he is aweome.

For some reason I read dkr as Donkey Kong Returns, so I was wondering why people were upset. That's a pretty random way to nuke your account, kinda wish I got to see it happen live just for the reactions.

Anyways, I voted for Driver. I should spend more time with it, I haven't touched it since I first bought it. It seems like a pretty clever twist on the racing genre. Hot Pursuit had a great first impression on me but the rubber banding in the later races really got to me, enough so to kill any motivation I had to press on. It has a great sense of speed, though, it's worth $5> just to buzz around in free roam mode. Don't give any fucks about Test Drive.

 

[Megasoum]

Driver: SF better win this vote guys. The best game of the three by FAR. In my top 3 of 2011 games.

We've learned that the Steam community rarely votes for the best game.

 

[Ysiadmihi]

I'm surprised the CoH collection isn't selling higher. I guess everyone who wanted it has had more than enough chances over the years.

 

[Mr. Poolman]

I got Test Drive as a gift on Christmas. Is it any good?

That's the thing... I voted for Driver cause it's clearly the best game and I want more people to play it but I secretly hope that Hot Pursuit wins so I can buy it haha.

Nope... TDU is a bit pile of turd... Too bad cause the first TDU was actually really fun!

Grabbed Just Cause 2 and I was wondering, does the DLC add much to the experience, or can it just be skipped?

Skip it, download Superman-Mod as well as the 1km grappling hook mod

 

[RionaaM]

Is Torchlight worth $3.74? I'm not a fan of Diablo (and never played any other dungeon crawler), but don't think it's a bad game at all. Should I pick it up?

I love UT2K4, last time I checked (3 months ago?) there were a few servers. Check up on that.

I wish Epic would make a new PC only UT. :-(

 

[LegoArmo]

Just Cause 2 is amazing.

How do you get your Steam to look like that?

It's a good loot game but it can get a bit boring because a lot of the dungeons feels the same. I would say go for it you care for loot, the art style is good and it's also a good Chill-to-play type of game. Also, you can have a pet. Feels good!

 

[Snookie]

I'm thinking about buying the assassins creed pack. I've been wanting to play these. Should I bother with them or find the actual console versions?

This is JaseC's second most asked question.

Absolutely. Could always try the demo if you're unsure.

TL2 preorder comes with a copy of TL1, fwiw.

Pretty sure that's PixelVision, I'm using it too.

Congrats. I will be gifting you your game a little later tonight.

Got it, thanks a lot!

 

[toddhunter]

"Who's that girl in your avatar?"

Oh I see.

Yes I must admit because of JaseC's influence I now use PixelVision for steam and am sleeping with Saoirse Ronan. I'm not buying driver though

Spoiler

unless it goes on sale

I really wish skins would let you add more buttons on top so you could get a dedicated "Download" button instead of being stuck with the stupid drop down list. Worst design ever...

Witcher 2 is cheaper than it ever will be this steamsale on gog.com if you buy witcher 1 at the same time.

Wowsers, that's cheap. Is is possible to gift TW1 if you buy the pack? I already own the EE version of it.

Picking up Just Cause 2 for 3.75.

Any of the DLC guns worth it? I mean I know they're only a quarter, but, I still will hate myself if they just sit in my inventory

No, but if you register the first Witcher, you'll still get the 66% discount on The Witcher 2.

The DLC is not essential but it's very fun. Especially the parachute rockets.

 

[RionaaM]

This is true and the driving is very satisfying, the drifting model is great and the game is tons of fun, however........ for the most part there is a heavy rubber band AI. So if you look at this at something to have a lot of fun with then go. Do not expect a serious racer from Driver. Though if you liked Midtown Madness you'll love this.

Now I'm SO glad to have voted for it!!!

I thought they fixed the texture streaming delay in Rage, this is unplayable for me.
