KEEP these at least :)

Sid Meier's Civilization® III Complete
Space Pirates and Zombies(SPAZ)
PixelJunk Eden
Broken Sword II: The Smoking Mirror
Broken Sword: Director's Cut
Click to expand...

I second pretty much all of these (besides SPAZ which I've never played). As far as Civilization goes though, III was a great game back in the day, but I don't know how well it would hold up these days compared to IV and V, which are better games IMO.

Definitely get the two Broken Sword games. Some of the best point 'n' click adventure games I've ever played.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The Walking Dead

It's worth it for the current two. I don't think it'll be any cheaper in the fall, but there will probably be an additional episode or two.

Just a question.

I remember before the summersale there was an entry in the CDR for TF2 like "Summer Deluxe Pack" or something like that.

What happened with that?

Ys games are weird, I played Origin or something? and the jumping/gliding mechanics fucking sucked donkey dicks, on very easy the bosses would still wreck your shit, but the enemies were piss easy.

But pretty much I won't play it because of the jumping mechanics, holy fuck that shit I hate it so much.

No because I already bought it a few days ago, and this is karma for me buying from Amazon and not Steam apparently.

(appreciate the offer though)

I had gotten the base game and season pass for about $15. I guess none of the DLC I'm missing looks all that interesting...except the shark gun *sigh*

What do you mean exactly?
I´m playing on normal right now and there are very few situations where you actually have to jump to get on with the level. Bosses aren´t really that much trouble either because the whirl seems to be a bit too powerful in my opinion.

All this talk of SR3 reminded me that I never looked at SR2. For those of you who might be interested, it's also 75% off. $3.74 is great price for some time in the septic avenger.

You know that first example where it wanted you to jump then do a spin/glide thing to get to the next platform?

Yeah well cue me missing the jump for about 30 minutes because I kept missing it barely because I wasn't jumping right and either undershot by 2 inches or slid off the platform. No thank you.

30 minutes? Sounds like a personal problem to me. It shouldn't even take you more than 2 minutes with mistakes.

wtf? it's been on sale for like a week and now they put it even further on sale? Way to screw your customers over...
Click to expand...

Maybe contest the previous charge? I doubt it will work, but you never know. The exact same thing is happening to people who bought SR3 at the start of the sale.

Personally glad I didn't jump on it before might pick it up now.


ImRight said:
Yeah but that is the Season Pass, And the individual DLC's for it Are already in the Pack If im reading correctly
Click to expand...

The Genki Girl DLC is still missing and for some strange reason only 33% off.

yes i had troubles at that point aswell because i think they don´t tell you that the spin let´s you fly so far. But there are really few jumping situations in the game and maybe you can look over it because the game is pretty good so far.

So bought. I was kinda bummed when it didn't win the vote, but this makes up for it.

My list:
Cave Story+
Magicka Complete Pack
Legend of Grimrock
X-Superbox
Lone Survivor
Penumbra Collectors Pack
Ys: The Oath in Felghana
Just Cause 2
Torchlight
Recettear
Super Meat Boy
Deus Ex: HR DLC
Ys: Origin
The Last Remnant (GMG)

About 70€, which is not that bad considering that's the price for a brand new (recent) game over here.

I never bought anything from GMG before. I can only purchase games once? I wanted to buy copies of TLR for friends :( Went to buy it again but only see the "Download" button. Boo!

xelios

Universal Access can be found under System Preferences
Vouchers from the free games (I"m assuming) and COSYO-UDIDN-TGET1 code takes TLR down to $3 flat on GMG.

Then get Gumboy Tournament with what you saved.
