FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
But is 9 euros
It sounds so good but I have the fear that the game gets boring for me in little time, although the text you wrtoe is there up my alley, its what I wanted from Total War games, the little stories that can change your history. Are this random totally random with a very high number of this types of events, or its still very Total War?

Even the name "Garshasp" sounds like some disease I caught during my uni days.

thanks!
Yeah. Is it still broken?

No other form of internet access like a PC? Come on son!
I heard they did updates when it was on sale to fix some elements, but I never tried it after the initial release.
Yeah I thought it was FS too, but I doubted it so I looked first.

But how fun is it? I already voted GRAW2 since my friends rig can run it but I highly doubt he can run Brink. I would buy Brink for 3 or so dollars.

To all newbies I recommend reading How the hell do we play Crusader Kings II? on Something Awful while playing a game yourself to try stuff out. Great introduction, and pretty funny as well.
DLC
Sword of Islam, which isn't included in the complete pack, makes it so you can play as muslim countries. It doesn't add anything else to the game. So buy it if you want to do that.
The other DLC consists of extra music tracks, in-game portraits and heraldry shields. All just cosmetic stuff. Then there's Ruler Designer, which is pretty pointless because there are hundreds (thousands?) of rulers to choose from already, and playing a historical person is part of the fun of the game. Buy it if you want, it's cheap and more varied music is fun.
It's kind of fun making yourself the first ruler though. I spent a lot of time customizing mine, even though it's just a portrait, it has different looks as you are younger or middle aged or older and you can change the ruler's attributes (don't know if you can do that sans ruler designer)
I'm gonna go ahead and get the sword of Islam, I can already tell I'm going to pour a lot of time into this game

Thanks for the words on the DLC. I don't think I'll need to play as the Muslim countries before it goes on sale again, so I'll just get the vanilla game.
Thanks boss. I'm just staring into my hands at this map screen. TOO MANY WORDS AND NUMBERS WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN. I miss my puny settler and the comforting fog of war
at best I can describe is a mixture of run and gun objective based fps trying to implement a team-orientated play style that falls between TF2 & Battlefield games.

Work, bro. No access.
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic is $2.50.
Buy it, people.
Buy it, people.
There's some serious IP devaluing going on here.
Just got Trine 2 so far. Good games on sale, but already own the ones I care about. Hoping for a Ys Origin daily/flash deal. I'm also looking to get Batman: AC, since I'm one of the two people in the world that doesn't own it yet. Almost jumped on Saints Row 3, but I'd rather hold out for when all the DLC is out if I can and get everything at once, and I'm not in a rush to play it. Backlog and all that.

Darksiders is a good bit of game for $5. The other 10 days of deals might suck!
But they probably won't suck.
Ladies & Gentlemen: The World's Largest If.
I almost voted for it, luckily I checked lol.

Did Wolfenstein 2009 get taken off of Steam or something?

Is there an Endless Space guide that isn't based on Alpha build?

It is sad but the only thing I'm really hoping for is not very likely: a combo of Hawaii and Alaska packs for Microsoft Flight.
Also to be fair I'd love to try out my new system (built last month) on Skryrim or maybe Crysis 2 if they are cheap (was going to put Battlefield 3 in that example.. but EA and all..)
/already beat most games I care about on console (including both examples), so need some darn good prices to double dip

XBOX - RECORD ME LOVING DOWN MY WOMAN GOOD
What I can remember its pretty good. Its standard fantasy stuff where you have amnesia and are thought to be a reborn something something but it eventually gets more serious, something about having a demon come into this realm by a cult I think. Obviously I forget a lot as I played it 10 years ago.
It also doesn't take itself too seriously all the time as it can be silly as well. Gameplay is pure fun to me though. Big world and lots of hidden stuff and neat skills to choose.

I'm totally with you on this too. Reading his post and I was like "COOL!", but then I watched this video and now I'm on the fence again.

It looks very complicated, but I think I might be up for that challenge. Maybe...
Anyone else on the fence for Crusaders Kings II?

listen to the mad man
I think Wolf 2009 is a case of ambiguous rights; Bethesda bought iD (who originally did Wolfenstein and maybe own the IP maybe?), but Activision published Wolf 2009 and Raven developed it. I suspect whenever Activision's rights lapse or Bethesda buys out Activision, the game will re-appear.
$10 is more than I pay for games, I suck at Paradox games, and I'm just getting into EUIII, but CK2 conceptually sounds VERY cool. So yeah, I'm conflicted.

It is extremely complicated but I think it will be super rewarding once I have a grasp on how the systems work

What's with the Daily Deals? They don't flip in 3 but in 15 hours? Why?

That is really disappointing, because I was really hoping to pick it up this sale.
Yep, I'm on the fence too, the game looks pretty dense but with very cool ideas, though I don't know when it will get cheaper than $9.99 and if I will be able to play some of it by then.
I can wait if the deals overlap to see if I'm interested in today's deals, but it isn't confirmed yet.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Garshasp is a lot like God of War 3, but with better image quality and a main character that isn't embarrassing.

2 new Flash sales in 2h 50 mins
It's the best melee combat in an FPS. I wish Skyrim felt this good!
