Should I get just FEAR 1 or the whole collection?

Heard different things from everyone

 

[Katoki]

Seems like EU3 is a flash and the other flash sales have suddenly reduced in timer count. WTF? I had my night set up based around the timers.

Edit: Wait no, paranoia. I don't know what's going on anymore. I think it's on time?

 

[Dacvak]

It's not unethical to tap into my Leukemia Fund to buy Steam games, right?

 

[Crayons]

Since I have only bought Dead Island I'm playing that.

Alone, of course. People seem to hate random players entering their games, I understand.


Here I was expecting to get Conviction. I guess not, then.

What? I joined a random Dead Island game yesterday and I played with two other people for three hours straight. They were really friendly and talkative. I've played with other people too, the community seems friendly to me.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

COME ON RE5 FOR 5!

 

[Mr. F]

Is Europa Universalis as complicated as it looks? I've been wanting to dip my toe into grand strategy games for a while now, just always been intimidated by what looks like a pretty steep learning curve.

[BFIB]

My damage so far:

Walking Dead-$14.99
Dead Rising 2: OTR: $9.99
Star Wars: TFU 1&2: $9.99 for both
Trine 2: $3.74



So far, not bad. Just need another deal on Witcher 2 and maybe Deux Ex HR and I'll be set.

 

[Demon Lizardman]

Anyone have a spare Rayman Origins, I can pay them back.

Also:
Hard Reset

I just wanted to recommend Bastion to anyone who was considering it. I wasn't all to interested in it when I first heard about it, but when it went up for sale I couldn't say no to the price. Played it earlier and its sooo fucking good. Enjoying the combat, art, narrative and most of all the music. Grab it if it goes up on the flash sale later.

One of these days, I'll play Bastion for more than 20 minutes.

I'd honestly just get 1. 2 and 3 aren't quite as good, imo. Plus, if you reeaaallly want the other two, you can just snag them during the Winter sale. They're always going on sale.

 

[beyond_death]

So I just decided to get Mirror's Edge on a whim.

 

[Zebra]

But then how did you have time to spend every waking moment on GAF during the sale?

The first enhancement I got in-game was a hud display that provided constant GAF updates.

c'mon.....

Yeah, still looking for a spare Legend of Grimrock. Will pay upfront via PayPal.

Most of the complication is in the interface.

Once you get passed that, it's not so intimating. I think the best way to learn is to just play and lose.

 

[JaseC]

It should be noted that the Steam version of the original FEAR comes with the two expansion packs. Neither are very good, though.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Okay, these Hidden Flash Sale deals, like Runaway is right now, and a couple others I've found the last couple days...

Anyone know of any tools that can track that stuff? It's diabolical. I keep checking the wishlist to see if anything is popping up in a Hidden Flash deal.

It's sincerely messing with me. It's as though the game is now playing me.

The game is so good. The music is also really, really good.

Just get 1. Fear 2 and 3 are so agonizingly boring.

I got two: "Get the fuck out" and "who the fuck are you?" messages when I entered some random plays, I had no time to screenshot it because I was getting overrun with zombies, but yeah, so far I don't remember a single good experience online ever since I turned to PC. Be it TF2, BF3 I keep finding kinda aggressive people. I didn't expect this to happen in a coop game, but that's another topic.

 

[Dacvak]

So I just decided to get Mirror's Edge on a whim.

Best decision you've made all night. That game is seriously a masterpiece, in my honest opinion.

 

[Cramoss]

Just get 1. Fear 2 and 3 are so agonizingly boring.

Don't forget Fear 1 includes both expansions.

wha? can't those assholes make their games private? lol

 

[Saige]

Well I’m taking a chance on Assassins Creed 2. Played most of the first and thought it was shit, but for $5 I might as well try a game most of Gaf seems to think highly of.

 

[Koroviev]

It's not unethical to tap into my Leukemia Fund to buy Steam games, right?

Do you still need it?

"Games or cancer treatment, games or cancer treatment..."

 

[Bisnic]

Never played an Assassin Creed game before, but with 3 coming out this fall and Revelations being only for 13.59$, you think its worth it even if i didnt play the others? Will i get lost in the story? Although i suppose i could also buy 2 considering its low price. Heard the first game wasn't that good.

 

[Sarcastic Response]

So far all I've bought is:

Saints Row 3 Season Pass - $4.99
Saints Row 3 Pleasure Pass - $1.75
Sonic Generations Casino Nights DLC - $.99

I still have $12.32 left. I'm holding out for the week to see if any crazy deals pop up.

 

[LiK]

thr AC franchise's story is great, imo.

oh yea, start with AC2 AT LEAST. Brohood and Revelations are direct sequels to AC2. AC1 is the foundation that all the lore is based on.

 

[Tess3ract]

"Games or cancer treatment, games or cancer treatment..."

oh my god

Laugh of the day right here

The Assassin's Creed games continue from the previous game. If you're gonna start, start with 2 at least

 

[LiquidMetal14]

So I just decided to get Mirror's Edge on a whim.

Great game for the price.

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

So yeah since F.E.A.R. is being discussed on this page, I played FEAR 2 and actually quite enjoyed it, wasn't great, but it was good, I remember enjoying it. I bought 3 on the last sale but haven't played it yet.

So shall I drop the two feedy and buy F.E.A.R?? seems a little outdated, but if I am the fan of the sequel would I like this one?

 

[Dusk Golem]

I'm on the same boat as others, has anyone on NeoGAF played the Runaway Series and has a verdict on them? I'm going to wait to see if all of them go on sale in a moment with Yesterday (like what happened with Prince of Persia yesterday), but are they worth a gander?

 

[Katoki]

If you want story you'll still want to start with AC2 at the very least IMO.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Ahhh thank you... (and oh yeah it's in the OP. I'll sulk away now.)

 

[Dacvak]

I think I can deal with crippling medical debt for the rest of my life.

Spoiler

Like I have a choice at this point, lolol.

 

[AlexBasch]

Was wondering the same thing. Maybe he didn't know this game was co op and he was kinda pissed that some random fuck entered his game? I dunno.

So I just decided to get Mirror's Edge on a whim.

Enjoy it. I already played it on Xbox and my budget is tight so I can't double dip, but here's to expect that Mirror's Edge 2 gets made someday.

FEAR 1 is the best one. It's so good. Still better than a lot of shooters today.

That's terrible. If you ever want to play Dead Island coop, you can add me on Steam. Name is NeonCrayons.

Mirror's Edge is a top seller right now. WHERE IS MY FUCKING SEQUEL?

That game is so amazing and unique. I guess that's why there isn't one.

I think kids these days are just dumb. Can't be bothered to set a password but can be bothered to spam you.

Just get the collection for $35. 4 games and 3 pieces of DLC for half the price of a console game. DO IT!
