Two hours until Just Cause 2!

Get hype!

How do you know this?

 

[feel]

UT 2004 it is.

It was dead on arrival.

The $20 regular price seems like a poor decision

Ooooh. Thanks for the link.

Also what's up with people signing posts? I'm guessing I missed something while I was sleeping/working.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

So Ys is fucking sick.

Why are you torturing me?

 

[SteveWinwood]

Where do you guys get this from? I have always found plenty of matches. In fact I just checked and there is a bunch of servers with people in them.

I just remember my roommate playing it like a month or two after it came out and having trouble finding any place not filled with bots. I just assumed it didn't get any better 4 years after the fact.

Anyone else that's viewing Steam via a Mac not able to view the "Store" tab?

I haven't been able to get it to load on my Mac since the sale started.

My issues with it where

* Too much ammo
* Flashlight recharges too fast
* Reuses the same events 3 times
* Conversation system
* Enemies where easy compared to Alan Wakes normal mode

Otherwise excellent game for those wanting more Alan Wake.

yeah wasnt too hot on revisiting the same places but they mix it up enough. I also found it a bit on the easy side so I might recommend going with the hardest difficulty first (should have done that).

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I had UT2K4 in my cart ready to click checkout when I thought to myself about buying Oblivion GOTY. If it wins the vote, that 5 will be much better spent on that than 2K4. Even though I just added money, I will be spending 9 instead of 5 if I get both so I will have to use Steam abstinence on this one!

does anyone know with GTAIV complete edition whether you can download vanilla GTAIV and episodes seperately - its 32GB and I'd rather just download GTAIV as I'm on a SSD. its the same price so id rather get the complete edition

 

[Def Jukie]

Anyone happen to have an extra copy of Borderlands GOTY? I could trade or paypal.

 

[KingKong]

I'm playing QUBE and it's pretty good. There's a lot of different puzzle mechanics so it doesn't get boring, although it does seem like they've taken the minimalist style and

fuck those magnet puzzles though

 

[wilflare]

really enjoyed playing Unreal previously.

hmm. if it was 4.99, insta-bought

I'd get 2K4 but I dont know if wanna fall into that loophole again. Some years were wasted on that, hah.

why are we posting signatures again?

So far I've convinced two of my friends to buy Train Simulator and the Trains vs Zombies dlc. I'm half tempted to get it myself out of curiosity for that dlc.

But then I stopped sucking so much.

Anyone played that Jane's Advanced Strike Fighters game? Is that good? Also what's the best military flight sim on Steam?

Yup, both separate.

 

[MikeE21286]

Looking at the Assassins Creed pack. $34.99 seems like a pretty good deal.

I've never played any of the games, but I don't want AC1 ($4.99) and I'm not sure if I want the 3 DLC packs ($1.35, $3.39, and $3.39)

Might just grab; AC2, AC:B, and AC:R for ~$25

Seems like the right call?

If you're a bad enough dude, the most hardcore realistic one is without a doubt A-10C Warthog. It's pretty intense though. You need like a many hundred page pdf to just get off the ground.

If you're more into ww2, theres il 2 sturmovik. Wings of prey is good too.

Honestly I've heard bad things about JASF, but I don't know too much about it. Just that some were disappointed.

right call is just getting AC2. The games are long and you wont wanna jump into Brotherhood right away, let alone Revelations. If you do so, you'll be burnt into the whole experience really quick (happened to me).

By the time you'll wanna play Brotherhood it'll be cheaper in something like the winter sale. I'd say just get 2 and you'll be fine. It's also the best one in the series.

 

[MikeE21286]

^Thanks Salsa.


I think I'll go that route instead.

Listen to this man. The AC games are very fun but the last thing you will want to do is play them consecutively. Get AC2 now and the rest if you end up liking it.

Edit: Ok, I see you have..well this post is now meaningless

 

[Dartastic]

I wish I got YS when it was super cheap.

Can't really disagree there. I've pulled out a few now, onto 3rd boss.

Oath in Felghana is as low as it'll go, btw

at $5.09

This is correct. Even if you love 2, might be best to skip right to 3 after because you will not miss a whole heap.

Have to work in the morning. Wondering if I should stay awake until the flash sales and community sale rolls over. Decisions, decisions.

It just makes me feel even that much better about my decision to follow what Salsa said

 

[shintoki]

Coming from a pretty big fan. Unreal Deal just isn't worth it. 3 might as well be dead, 2k4 has a sliver of life, and classic is just that. Dedicated few remain, so good games are still be had. But its really not worth investing into. I'd rather just send you to Quake Live instead.

And then we have the two single player titles. Didn't think 2 was worth playing when it came out. Don't think so now. And I've never played 1. Heh.

 

[ShellyDeKiller]

Man, I'm afraid to go to sleep. Don't wanna miss anything good. It's already 4.30am

 

[RedSwirl]

No really. How good are Unreal and Unreal 2? Even compared to other PC singleplayer shooters of their time.

 

[Darktalon]

OOF, I have spent $190 dollars this sale.

AND I still want to get Witcher 2, Deus Ex: Human Revo, Dragon Age Origins Ultimate, Hard Reset, and hopefully a cheaper Rayman Origins, but I doubt that last one.

Just bite the bullet and get the pack. AC1 is pretty good if you avoid doing the side missions.

Lol i havn't been to sleep For more than 5 hours since the sales started ahaha >.<

Yes, just look up the story for one. Personally, I really liked one, but a lot found it repetitive and things like that. 35 bucks is a great deal for the whole package though.

 

[bigace33]

Man I've been searching for an online game that is as much fun as UT2K4 used to be. I would spend my entire weekends playing that game. lol Marioland maps and all kinds of crazy mods, and playing onslaught for hours. I miss that game. :*(

Gez.

Yeah. I felt less afraid wandering the dark, and finding lights didn't really have the same impact it did for me in Alan Wake. He's able to run much longer now, and I never felt the need to manage what ammo I used when (in order to be able to properly survive).
