I never played Metro 2033, but I did play Metro 2033: Last Light (thank you 1 cent sale ;P).

Which was the better game? Or longer?

I liked Last Light, so I assume I would like the original?

Last Light was a lot more polished, but mostly served as being just more of what was great about 2033. You'll almost surely like 2033 if you liked Last Light.

Metro 2033 Redux is releasing soon and includes all of the engine and gameplay enhancements that were made for Last Light. You also get 50% off it if you own the original 2033, so you might want to look into buying it now for cheap and taking advantage of that deal. Just a suggestion.

Looks like I got locked out of the market after using two M&Ms gift cards, but I can still use my debit card to put funds into Steam. No biggie, was just gonna farm cards on this sale anyway. :p

Rayman is tempting but I just bought the Wii U version not that long ago.

I haven't bought anything except the Snoop Dog VO pack for Ghosts. :l Hope the Banner Saga goes on sale soon.

Fallout 1,2 and Tactics are good games, but very different. Fallout 3 was like a Reboot for the franchise. Check out some video's of them to see if they are up your alley, but for the price, it wouldn't hurt to check them out.

Yeah I heard 3 was a big change up. I didn't get Tactics btw. Just 1 and 2. And yeah that was my thinking... for £1.99 I know I couldn't go wrong.

The original fallouts are brilliant.
(1 and 2 anyway, I wasn't a big fan of Tactics)

Good to know actually, as Tactics is the one I scrimped on lol

Fallout 3 is my favorite game ever but I don't like the originals.

Damn, I consider Fallout 3 to be one of my all time favourites as well. Hope this doesn't bode ill for my potential enjoyment of the originals.

Fallout 1 and 2 are classics of the past. As a tip, use the Fallout Fixt mod for 1, it's supposed to improve the performance on modern PCs.

I remember Tactics being fun, but I can't really remember too much about it. It seems like more of a blur than 1 and 2 for me.

Hey thanks for the heads up.

Thanks to jabuseika for Half Life 2: Episode 1. :)
Made my morning, especially given that Rayman Origins didn't get an extra discount with Legends winning the community vote.

And now it is time to dream of better Community Votes, and Flash Sales as I prepare to go back to work tomorrow for the first time in two weeks so I could spend time with my newborn daughter.

Come on Banner Saga or Transistor!

Gameplay wise I thought they were all pretty meh.

1. Old World Blues is at least funny and well-written.
2. My 2nd favourite was probably the casino one. The beginning was annoying but once you get into the actual casino things pick up. Decent writing.
3. I can't remember much about my 3rd favourite whatever it was called but I'm convinced it beats -
4. Honest Hearts. Awful. Terrible writing and characters and traversing the terrain was one of the most frustrating experiences I've ever had with PC games.

Be aware that there's so much experience to be gained from the DLC that you'll hit the ceiling long before the end of the game. There are mods for that, but the game becomes too easy to be enjoyable if you go that route.

Thanks for the input. I'll be picking up a few of them in the morning before the sale expires.

On another note, I'm really bummed I wasn't able to get a copy of metal gear rising today. Oh well maybe I'll get lucky and it'll pop up again for 75% off.

I think Transistor was up for a community vote once already but (did or didn't win?), it was only listed as 25% off.

Bladewolf is essentially a parry tutorial. That's exactly what he's meant to do. Beat you until you learn to play the game properly. :) Nice work!

That mofo made my thumbs hurt though. :(

Hopefully someone still wants this.

So I'm giving away one of the games in the banner above, which one though is a mystery.

Instructions/Rules/Stuff for participants:

-If you would like to take part in this give away you must draw a picture depicting the chaos of the Steam Summer Sale.

- You can rush it or take your time, the deadline is 10:41 PST; giving you about nine hours or so. (Also if someone could come up with some sort of countdown clock that I could embed that would be awesome!)

- When you post your artwork in the thread, please PM a link to your post so I keep track of everyone's submissions.

- I will not be judging, I'm leaving that job up to my sister. Here is her steam profile if you want to bribe her: http://steamcommunity.com/id/lordpooky :p

- Sometime after 9:41, I will post here letting people know who one and then I will gift that person the game over Steam.



Hopefully it will be fun and plenty straight forward. And if I have money after buying my new monitor and speakers then I will do some more of these before the sale ends, because having one game to give away originally wasn't my intention. EDIT: Also I will be reposting this throughout the day.
