And seriously, think of the discounts you'd get.

Screw the discounts.... I'd get to see Half Life 3!

Imagine being the kid of Gabe?

You have all the games and you get to playtest Half Life 3.

Does the Director's Cut changes the game enough to be worth a consecutive playthrough or it's more about the beginning?

I would say play the original, then play the first section of the Directors Cut.

It adds a prolog that's nice for fans but from a story point of view ruins a lot for new comers.

broken sword is amazing. Played the first 2 two years ago and loved them. Haven't finished the third though. The 3d (and controls) kind of put me off.

3 is filled with stealth and block puzzles, but at least it tries for the tone of the first 2 unlike 4.

 

[Gbraga]

Assuming you are talking about Broken Sword, I'd say yes. It gives a nice background story to Nicole.

So should I play both or I'm better off with the Director's Cut only?

 

[trinest]

I really want terraria to go on sale.

Can you really want Arma II or Endless Space to go on sale. I think your rigging the elections.

 

[Incendiary]

Made it through yesterday without buying anything.

Today, though, will probably fall on my sword and get Thief II since I've heard so much about it. May get S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat but I have Shadow of Chernobyl and haven't touched it yet. Would get Risen 2, but considering my purchases already I think I can pass on it and wait for a later sale and get a better deal.

 

[feel]

Just bought the train game and I'm eyeing Sim City 4, both games I'll probably never play. I'm definitely one of you guys now.

 

[Soyongdori]

Played Shadow of Chernobyl, hated Clear Skies.

Should I get CoP?

 

[LuffyZoro]

My beard is better but not greying, if you've seen it.

I'm just imagining Hanako with a beard now.

 

[Smash88]

Played Shadow of Chernobyl, hated Clear Skies.

Should I get CoP?

Yes, IMO it's the superior game of all 3. Clear Skies being the worst.

 

[1-D_FTW]

Thankfully, my CC takes a few days to update, so I can't tally right now, but I've bought at least 35 separate titles (mostly SteamPlay).

Haven't really gamed on PC since 2002/3, so most of the stuff I bought is new to me.

If you click on your Steam account in the upper right hand corner and then choose "Store Transactions", your entire history is there in all its infamy. If you really wanna know, that is. Most don't

Oh ok, thank you, I'll do it...

Gabe doesn't have children in the traditional sense. He has random spawns.

I'm asking my boss on Monday if I can work overtime.

GABEN WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME.

It would be great unless you were the unlucky third born, he'd lock you away in the basement, force you to live on the rats you could catch.

 

[Tomat]

How is SimCity 4? I've always been kinda interested in them, but they seem pretty damn complicated.

 

[Gbraga]

Man, where are my Alpha Protocol and Call of Cthulhu flash sales?

 

[Petrie]

Whats the word on Simcity 4? Does it run well enough to be worth buying?

 

[Yoshichan]

Yes you need to play Journey Yoshi. No more excuses! If you do start Metro 2033, give it at least 2 hours or so. Once you get to the Dead City you truly realize how good this game's atmosphere is.

I will play Journey asap, I promise!

[Katoki]

I'm just imagining Hanako with a beard now.

I can see it, only except there's the Misha hands at hips stance + laugh. Which Hanako would never do to begin with.

Anyway.. my wishlist is growing even though I've picked up a chunk of the games I wanted in it. Not cool.

 

[Dingotech]

I'm starting to get burnt out on the Steam sale...
Get rid of all these repeats in the flash sales and community votes!!

Give me something new to buy! I demand it!

I want Dark Void as a daily

that's right.

(thought I already owned it)

 

[RionaaM]

always wanted to try terraria so I jumped on dat deal

I picked it up too. Haven't enjoyed Minecraft, but I read that it had some RPG/action/platforming elements, so...

 

[Yoshichan]

Terraria... to buy, or not to buy. Is it a game with an actual ending?

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Anyone know why I'm getting a 6.7MB update for VTM Bloodlines??

Talking about Dark Void only serves to remind me that Dark Void Zero has a 5 limit activation.
Really wish they would patch it out so I could buy it, but seeing as it's capcom there's really no chance of that happening.

 

[Yoshichan]

lol

I promise it wasn't a hook towards Minecraft :lol

 

[Veitsev]

Terreria has as much of an actual ending as Minecraft.

For the man who has everything; Dark Void.

I used to play Magic competitively and was pretty disappointed in the first Duel of the Planeswalkers game. Partially because I'm still not over combat damage not going on the stack anymore.

Everyone is in love with 2013, but I have a feeling there's an inflection point where if you're really into Magic, these games are underwhelming. Seems like it's good for people who want to get into the game, want to get back into the game, or people who only ever played casually with friends. It doesn't strike me as a hardcore product. That being said, if it goes on sale, I'll probably give it a shot. I put about eight hours into the first one without even realizing it.

I've been an on-again off-again player since the mid 90s (Fallen Empires), and I adored the original Microprose game, which is now retroactively referred to as Shandalar. Sadly, due to MTGO and a very different philosophy now when it comes to Magic video games, Wizards will never release a game like that again.

Yeah, the Duels of the Planeswalkers are all going to be disappointing after the incredibly rich and fully customizable Shandalar, but they are fun.

It's an easy way to jump in and play a few games without having to spend any money putting together decks, but like I said, I played at the casual level, never competitively. I enjoyed trading for cards, and I had a strict rule of never paying for individual cards after getting horribly ripped off when I was first starting. I would kill for a sealed deck mode like the Spells of the Ancients added to Shandalar (or even booster drafting).

I live in Japan now, and I don't have any of my decks with me and the nearest group I know who play live an hour away, so It's pretty much the only chance I get to play the game, and it's a cheap way to sample newish cards working together without sinking a fortune or a ton of time into making it work.

As far as the damage on the stack thing, I mostly played before the stack existed, so I'm used to LIFO and interrupts. I miss how incredibly overcomplicated those rules got over the years.

 

[Yoshichan]

Terreria has as much of an actual ending as Minecraft.

God damn it, so yet another game with 2000 hours of gameplay. Not buying until I fully clear my "backlog".

Sim City
Yay or Nay?


and THANK YOU to Gray Wolf for
A BARD'S TALE

 

[ShaneB]

Come home and see Simcity has won. Terrific! Now only if these sales made EA smart enough to realize they should put 5 on Steam.....

 

[toddhunter]

I'd marry him. I'm not even joking. DAT BEARD!

I want a Game of Thrones daily deal or flash sale right now

Always wanted to try a Bards Tale, wonder if it's any good.

Seriously......but it probably won't drop below $20 this time around, and that is my ceiling for that game.

 

[gdt]

Getting a prompt to close steam and reopen for an update, but I'm DLing SR3. Will it just resume where it left off?

I think you can actually play it free through GamersGate. Hold on, I thought I saw it in their Void games

edit: It's there! I havn't actually played any of the free games yet, but from what I understand you stick them in a Void slot on the webpage and then you can download and play it as if you own it. Seems you do have to watch an ad every time you start it up, though

 

[ImRight]

Getting a prompt to close steam and reopen for an update, but I'm DLing SR3. Will it just resume where it left off?

Most definately

Also let me know if it restarts properly for ya, Whenever im prompted to restart it just closes... and stays open in TskManager, and wont reopen, and then i have to end task and re Launch it lol...... its annoying

 

[Yoshichan]

Yep, it'll resume!

Yes, it's not like iTunes.

 

[gdt]

Man, I was hoping Flash Sales would be for games that could never get a daily deal. Like GalCiv2 or Cryostasis for example.

I hope those don't go on, I already bought them .

 

[Salsa]

took about 2 hours to get there since it was downloading at 0.3kb/s, and now it is completely stuck.

GFWL is the worst thing that ever happened to humanity and I hope the person who came up with it gets run over by a truck.
