This. I found it enjoyable, but there are better games in the genre. It's a great entry point for the shmup though.
Naaah, it's a beginner friendly Danmaku/Bullet hell game.
Yes it never even remotely approaches the deadly beauty of the "real" games, but it's charming Steampunk visuals and story and more laid back gameplay more than make up for it.
If you've always been repelled by the ruthlessness of danmaku games, this is your fix.
Only issue I had/have was framerate differences between not v-sync and vsync and I'm not sure which rate it was supposed to be played at (at the high framerate some of the challenges are just...no, but slow feels too slow).

Once you go GFWL, you never go back.

Is Splinter Cell a good pick for someone who only has $6 left? I wanted to hold out until the end to see if anything good popped up on the final day but even if it did, I don't have enough money to buy the good stuff. :/

Save it. Sale isnt over.
Because it erases the way behind you, am i right?
never had a problem with gfwl so far, but no reason it should be in a steam game

You're probably referring to SC:Conviction... but I am looking at SC: Chaos Theory right now, looks like a nice classic, I never had an xbox back in the day to play this... and my friends always praised it..but even at $2.50, would I play it if I get it?
Hmmm
For 5 $ it is a steal most bugs fixed , and was recently optimized with goty release...BUY IT NAOW
Community isnt the best , but there are always servers to play on , i never have trouble finding any.
Esp with the recent sales theres a lot of noobs to pwn.
For Far Cry 2 i found a graphics mod looks ok , its tiny as shit to dl too :

Not it doesn't. Holds up rather well in my opinion.
Hold the fuck up. Are you suggesting the game STILL has working multiplayer? Like someone figured out homebrew servers or somethign?! If you know please do tell!

Check out the Steam forums for fixes. Always the first place you should go. I had to get a fix for my pc as well.

Yes, that is what people were saying earlier in this thread.

I still have a measly $1.26. Wondering whether anything will go on sale for under a buck. Probably not, given what I've seen so far. Looks like the lowest for a full game has been $2.49.
Of course I have one of those "dammit" stories. Picked up GalCivII for $9.99 only to see a flash of it last night for $4.99.

Is going back to original Splinter Cell worth it? I've only played the Gamecube version.

Agreed, it's lighting was way ahead of it's time, played the demo of it last year and was impressed how well it held up.
All I've bought so for is the Binding of Isaac DLC and Stacking. I'm such a failure at Steam Sales.
You really are.
As someone who has avoided GFWL until now (for no other reason than I just didn't happen to purchase a game with it), what does this mean exactly? ITSP looks somewhat interesting, but if there's something I should be aware of first I'd like to know.
It's multi player, co-op and achievement system will use the GFWL integration and overlay.
I'm lying, wonder if it's possible to patch out though.
lol this is me for this entire sale. still haven't picked up anything..
As far as I know it has a mod to remove the piss filter, and another "hardcore mode" mod.
There are a couple of games out there below the $2.49 mark. Toki Tori and Tobe's Vertical Adventure are $1.24. Binding of Isaac was too, when it was a flash/daily. Arcadia's $1.25 (yeah, a penny more lol). Sequence is $1.99 and the Sega emulations are $1.74 each, though you technically can't afford those...
...There's probably a few more out there.
That's the one reason I don't mind it. It usually ends up being easier to play with friends than a lot of third party non steamworks games on steam.

So basically the difference is just that it uses GFWL's system instead of Steam's. Disappointing, but not a deal breaker (especially at that price). Thanks.
Are the Batman games the only ones where it randomly deleted saves? (honest question)
Valve: No, take it or leave it! It's selling very well and you'll buy at a high price!
If you don't buy something then you won't be able to get the fully upgraded Steam Summer Sale 2012 badge!

So... Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet. GWFL achievements built in, right?
Pretty much, it works most of the time and isn't that bad, some people may have problems with downloads with the client though or some regions of the world may not be supported.

My first Christmas sale I spent about $300. Just can't afford it this year with babies and road trip and no time to even play the games anyway. Heh.

That only thing it's missing is native controller support.

I bet on the last day of the sale, its just gonna be Gabe on the left of the steam store, and Rocket (the dayZ creator) on the right side, and ARMA II: CO in the middle for like 75% off, with a video/how to install DayZ thing below that.

Well, this makes me feel better.
I just never liked the idea of an alternate program overlay within Steam games.
Welcome to Flash.
(Also the game's very buggy. Still worth $1.24 though)
