WOW
I already have the game on gog, but I can't say no to an entry in my steam library. Especially if it comes from a dear IdolGaffer.
Thank you, Heapy <3
I finally won today too. And thanks for the clever idea of going through paypal, worked like a charm.
Now, here hoping for some sweet dailies!
So I got RE4 HD yesterday and it turned out to be $12 wasted. First of all, graphically speaking there is nothing in the game that is worth the HD moniker, except the fact that it runs smoothly at 60 fps.
The fov is so narrow and the camera is so close to the character that you don't even see if a monster is standing beside you.
If that was the only problem, it wouldn't be too bad, I don't mind some retro gaming. The gamebreaker for me are the controls. Both the 360 controller and M/K are terrible. The camera movements with the right stick have no impact on the direction you are moving, while the movement with the left stick is very unnatural, compared to all recent 3rd person action games.
Another title going in the Steam sale graveyard never to be seen again.

If you haven't passed off the card yet, here's my plan. Give me the card, I'll list it for whatever price you decide. When it sells, I'll kick in however much more money would be needed to get a copy of both Bad Rats and Marlow Briggs. Then we'll do a giveaway with either them both together as one prize or two separate mystery games.
Open listing:
Free 8 Foil, i recommend selling to get money.
and i guess go buy LLTQ? that seems to be the big thing right now

Yeah it's pretty much a singleplayer MMO game. Lot's of quest, lot's of content, but really not that interesting or varied. It's not bad, but there are many more interesting games to play.

Is this your first time play RE4?
I'm envious.
Keep at it. The controls have always been a bit awkward but stick with it. It's considered one of the best games ever for a reason.
Also, HD just implies that it's running in high resolutions. In this sense, it's very much HD.
Oh yeah:
I'd say it's worth a watch overall if the premise interests you. The fist half, while visually nice, is rather rushed as far as characterisation is concerned, which hurts the core of the film as the relationship between Daisy and Eddie feels egregiously underdeveloped. The film is at its best in the second half as it chiefly focuses on the relationship that develops between Daisy and Piper, which works in part because the young actress who plays Piper actually puts on a good show (I recall reading she was nominated for some award, which was nice to see). I was also rather fond of the largely-acoustic soundtrack, which I still throw on every now and then when I'm indecisive and just want to listen to something (fun fact: Saoirse also starred in the music video for the film's closing credits track, which has grown on me). Speaking of, Saoirse's great -- I'd put her performance ahead of that in Hanna but behind The Lovely Bones. I really hope Mary Queen of Scots gets off the ground as I think it has an honest shot at "dethroning" TLB.
La Mulana.
Me too, this planet just don't have enough anime kawaii waifus.

Guys, I'm looking for a game to help me start getting into the RTS genre. Is there any game or series I should be on the lookout for during the sale?

So what kind of game is LLQT exactly?

Hi again. Wow, +40 pages since I slept, crazy.
Any impressions about Ace of Spades ?
Is it fun, what's good&bad?

Age of Empires 2 HD would be a good introduction, I think.
Visual novel, you manipulate your queen's stats and it affects the story. Your goal is to not die horribly.

Supreme Commander or the sequel. Though I think the first was a flash sale already.
Age of Empires I suppose, though the game is so slow compared to modern RTS.
or maybe...
DAWN OF WAR
GET DAWN OF WAR 1 AND ITS EXPANSIONS NOW

Just got LLTQ because of this sale... spent 2 hours and died 2 times, but I managed to live (in the least honorable way possible) to be queen! Now to play again and lay waste as a conquerer.
BIT TRIP games are fun.
Depends on what type of RTS you're looking for.
If you want slow and strategic, AoE II.
If you want faster paced and pew pew pew with bases, DoW I
Faster paced, without bases DoW II / CoH 2
Marlow Briggs
On Steam I would recommend anything from the Total War series, I really wouldn't truly call it an RTS though, alot of turn based management in the campaign.
Also Supreme Commander series is pretty good, sometimes it can be overwhelming though with managing the economy and learning the game's secrets to success.
Best game out there IMO is Empire Earth. It is old, be a very good and very solid RTS, I recommend checking it out. There is alot of depth to it, but it isn't something that is overwhelming either.

I second this. Game is a blast. I only stopped playing because I wanted to save it for a Let's Play.
Marlow Briggs is the only answer here.

Oh, nice. Thanks.
More knowledgable gaffer should make a thread with not-easy to find info/deal like these.
Really helping!
Controls are a little weird but that is part of resident evil. Try playing some more as it is the best 3rd person game ever in my opinion.

Is Marlow Briggs actually good or is it that you guys can't help yourself from buying a $.99 game?
Is Ikaruga a flash or something? I didn't see it this morning.
It's a fun lower budget action game with similarities to God of War. It's clear they had a lot of ideas and did a great job with what they had. For $.99, it's a good deal.

Legit good. It's like God of War meets Machete. It's a game that knows what it is and doesn't pretend to be something else. It's fun, dumb action. The key word is fun.

Picked up Long Live the Queen because it seems right up my alley. First purchase of the sale actually, which might just be a product of having reached the point where most of the stuff I want the most is already in my library (although I figure I'll probably get at least a couple more games before the sale is done).
While I was hoping for a bigger discount on RE4 I really want to play it before The Evil Within is released. What to do what to do...
It was a community vote, but yes.
