I don't hear people talk much about Hitman: Codename 47. Should I just get Hitman 2 and Blood Money, and save myself a tiny bit of money? I already have too many Steam games anyways, so I'm trying to avoid buying stuff I'm almost certainly never going to play.

Probably just Blood Money would be fine.

 

[GundamBanshee]

Need some opinions on Blades of Time.
Metacritic says it's a shit game, but I found the demo.... *gulp* enjoyable.

How is the full game?

Love this game. Got it for Xbox 'cause it looked Sucker Punch-y. The story's nothing to rave about but the combat is so much fun. I haven't beaten it yet but I think the campaign is around 10 hours.

$11 for LE is so tempting, hrm...

 

[RionaaM]

Wow, Borderlands is AWESOME! And I got to try the co-op, it's real fun playing with another person. Don't know how come I've never played this game until now, but I surely won't be making the same mistake when the sequel comes out.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

That one guy who bought the stuff he wanted while majority of them if not all weren't dailies/flash at all. $168+ IIRC.

You sir, were trolled.

 

[delirium]

Anyone here want to trade Bastion for a RUSE (Steam activatable) key?

 

[wilflare]

XSuperbox 75% OFF for 9.99USD
Sword of the Stars II 7% OFF for 7.49USD

 

[Levyne]

Is this a skin?

Nope, that's just steampowered.com -> profile -> games -> all games

 

[SteveWinwood]

X Superbox and Sword of the stars II.

Yawn.

Good night everybody.

Codename 47 has a particularly fantastic hotel mission which I always like to revisit from time to time.

but aside from that it definitely shows its age and is a pretty fussy game overall

 

[Katoki]

Okay. Too bad. I just skim because this thread flies.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

I like sorting by time played. Shows how little I actually played Steam games not called Dragon Age: Origins or Skyrim.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

I want to buy X Superbox for the name alone. not really

And I'm out. See ya'll later!

 

[Card Boy]

I see Swords & Stars 2 getting 2 massive patches a month. To me that says the game was incomplete combined with the Metascore of 44. I would probably avoid unless your staving for these types of games.

Well I just clicked all games so it would show the one downloading

Night. Metoo.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Caved and bought Borderlands GOTY literally seconds before it ended. Buyer's regret coming in 3, 2, 1........

 

[Reagan's BR]

Still upset I missed Alan Wake.

Space themed 4x games are some of my favorite games of all time.

I've never played sots 2 but have heard TERRIBLE things. Much along the lines of what you're saying. Pretty incomplete when released. Don't know how the support has been afterwards.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

I bought an X game a sale or two ago, had no idea what to do, and just quit the game after less than 10 minutes. Typical Steam sale purchase experience.

Borderlands is indeed awesome. Glad to hear people are enjoying it

EURO JANK

EURO JANK AS FAR AS THE EYES CAN SEE

Really, though, nothing for me in the new deals. Sword of the Stars II is supposed to be broken beyond belief, and I believe the X series has a reboot/prequel/new title coming out soon.

 

[Crayons]

I know this is sort of heresy in this thread, but you should play the game.

I picked it up recently in a paradox pack off Amazon... I will get around to playing it soon enough!

 

[dreamfall]

Sands of Time if you don't mind a game from 2003.

PoP 2008 if you do.

Maybe Forgotten Sands, but haven't played it, and have read arguments for and against.

I'd have to agree with this. Sands of Time is truly the best PoP game- gameplay/narrative. My second favorite is also PoP 2008- people complained about the death issue, but the gameplay was top notch.

 

[trinest]

The only space game I want right now is Endless Space and I rage each time its not on special.

 

[Tobe]

current pick ups

Rayman Origins

Saints Row: The Third

Assassins Creed Revelations Gold Edition

Alan Wake Bundle

Trine 2 (x2)

 

[Unicorn]

FINALLY SWORD OF THE STARS IS CHEAP.

What I've been waiting for all sale.

Hopefully one day it will actually be playable.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

Sales up! Time to poop!

 

[The Outsider]

Neither of the new flash sales do anything for me. Oh well. Money saved, right?

 

[Scoops]

Wow new flash deals are ass.

Tempted to stay up for the new poll choices and flash deal in two hours.

So, in short, it's a Paradox game?

 

[Frankenstrat]

Ayup. Never even heard of one of the two. Never seen anything about X1-3 though.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Swords of the Stars 2 looks like a Star Wars clone.

 

[Omikron]

So, in short, it's a Paradox game?

Only published by them, so no.

 

[Unicorn]

Will getting SotS Lords of Winter get me the future DLC as well?

 

[FloppyDelux]

is Swords of the stars 2 playable yet?

 

[Miker]

So, in short, it's a Paradox game?

Much worse than usual. Take a look here: http://store.steampowered.com/news/?feed=steam_updates&appids=42990

Scroll down. It's not pretty.

To be fair to Paradox, I believe their last two games, Sengoku and Crusader Kings II, launched with relatively few bugs.

 

[Dacvak]

Both new deals look kind of rubbish to me.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

Ayup. Never even heard of the two till now.

X games are fairly popular if you're looking for a space sim.

I personally found the one game I took a chance on impenetrable.

Yeah, I realized that it was talking about X1-3. Heard of Terran Conflict, never seen anything about it.

 

[kitzkozan]

Perfect while most of us are hitting the bed soon enough...

 

[RionaaM]

Caved and bought Borderlands GOTY literally seconds before it ended. Buyer's regret coming in 3, 2, 1........

Believe me, you won't. After 80 minutes in (today's my first time playing it, btw), I'm finding it hard to go back to Max Payne 3 (a game I've yet to finish, and which I've been enjoying immensely) even though I know I should. Yes, it's THAT good!

Oh, and if you wanna play co-op sometime, just add me to Steam (my profile is the same as my nick: RionaaM).

 

[trinest]

Perfect while most of us are hitting the bed soon enough...

There hasn't been any fair to Australia deals yet.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Yep. Time for bed. Gaben will leave us new gifts while we sleep.

 

[Aselith]

I bought an X game a sale or two ago, had no idea what to do, and just quit the game after less than 10 minutes. Typical Steam sale purchase experience.

The game is incredibly engaging if you take the time to really get it down. Took me about 20 hours, ha! But the game is incredibly rewarding and I went on to spend nearly 100 hours playing it without feeling like I had scratched the surface.

Huh. Ya learn something new every day.

X games are fairly popular if you're looking for a space sim.

Ya I have X3:TC and you really need to read/watch some tutorials and walkthroughs before you will ever have any clue what the hell is going on. It's pretty fun once you do if you're looking for a deep space sim. Plenty of crap to trade, stuff to shoot, and places to explore. You just really have to want it.

I'm hoping the next X game will be a bit easier to get into but I'm not gonna hold my breath.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

Just under two hours until the last flash sale for a while. Enough time to shower and polish off another episode of Back to the Future, I'd say.

 

[pock3tmonster]

This is my first Steam sale so far and I have to say that I'm loving it. Sure, the timing could have been kinder to my wallet, but I've done alright so far. I've picked up:

$4.99 - 2 x Left 4 Dead 2 (for a friend and I)
$4.99 - Orcs Must Die! GOTY ed.
$6.99 - Frozen Synapse Complete ed.

Total - $21.96

It still sucks that I missed out on both the Half-Life Complete collection and the Alan Wake Franchise collection. Especially the former as I've never experienced the HL series, but I'm enjoying the variety of bargains available and looking into titles that I might otherwise have turned my back on.

Don't worry about HL deals. Valve pimps them every chance they get.
