I like RPGs, I'm playing Mass Effect 3 right now. The dialogues are kind of weak in Fallout.

But I will give it a try. I want to like this game

It really depends on what you like about RPGs. But once you leave the Vault the game opens up completely. Give yourself more time till you're out in the wasteland for a while.

 

[Volcynika]

Wolfenstein is pretty amazing so far, that menu music...

Played a couple hours last night, loving it. I need my dual shotguns though, haven't made it to that point though

So there is a staggering abundance of zombie crafting survival games out there, which is considered the 'best'?

I picked up How to Survive earlier, but now I have State of Decay staring at me for a fiver.



It really is amazing how that crap adds up. Just idled and sent a few to the market and this morning I have about $1.50.

State of Decay is pretty awesome.

How to Survive is more of an isometric action/rpg imo. You can craft things but it's not really open world, it's fairly guided. Fun experience though, I really liked it. (mouse and keyboard controls annoyed me a bit though, used a controller for best effect)

State of Decay is a lot more open world though. You have a home base and you're running around the world doing quests, saving people, expanding your base, making outposts and doing the main storyline. Not so much crafting in there, just some basic item management. I put a lot more time into State of Decay than How to Survive.

 

[Vazra]

Morning darlings. Have I missed anything interesting while I was asleep?

 

[CecilRousso]

Any opinions on Supreme Commader?


First one is 8 bucks. Second one is only 4 dollars. Can I skip the first?

First one is the best one, second one the prettiest. They dumbed the resource management in the second one, which is a shame, but it's still good fun.

I would say that scenes like this can be worth 4 bucks.

How is the Bioshock Infinite DLC by the way? Is the season pass worth getting at this price? I loved the original game.

if you love BioInf, I'd say go for it. Like others have said, episode 1 is meh while 2 is pretty great. It does wrap up and put a bow on the whole Bioshock series. Whether it's done nicely or not is up to you.

I had the same reaction

excellent thanks. I think I've eclipsed my budget for this sale, but I'll move State of Decay up on the list for next time. Thanks again.

4 Players. Chaos weapons. Polar Wharf.
That one track was the king of local multiplayer for me and my friends.


*Brofist*

Are you nbnt's alt account?

Either way, that was entirely unnecessary (but much appreciated). Thank you.
Welcome aboard.

This put a big grin on my face.

State of decay is awesome I just beat the base game in sixteen hours. There is very little crafting in SoD, but I recommend the game especially over how to survive. The SoD dlc supposedly is new game plus with harder enemies.

Burial at sea part 1 is said to be ok, but just about everyone loved part 2.
Though you sort of need to play both for the whole story. not even sure if you can buy one and not the other.

Episode 1 is "meh", Episode 2 is great

if you love BioInf, I'd say go for it. Like others have said, episode 1 is meh while 2 is pretty great. It does wrap up and put a bow on the whole Bioshock series. Whether it's done nicely or not is up to you.

Thanks, guys. I got it. Looks like this will be my final purchase for this sale.

Congrats!

 

[Vazra]

Seeings all those who own Astebreed now makes me feel sad I couldn't get it. Can someone write their opinions on the game here to know if the transitions to behind the back is just cinematic or you play in that perspective? If you play in that perspective is it fun?

Thanks in advance and hope you are enjoy the sale damages.

 

[Shadownet]

I just woke up and logged on Steam to see that the legend ShadowNetX gifted me Battleblock Theater. I so wanted to play this. The trailer looks hilarious.

Thank you so much bro I can't wait to play you with sometime.


I really want to be in a better position next sale to give away.


I have a lot of 1 month XBL and Hulu codes if anyone wants any. I also have a few full 360 game codes for Dance Central 2. Please PM me Steam Gaf if you have a 360 and want some.



Edit: I forgot to thank Poetic for giving away Fallout New Vegas. You're so great I wish you and ShadowNetX wealth and happiness lol

You're welcome of course we will play together!

 

[Copons]

You should replace the featured badge in your profile tho. It still shows 2K+...

 

[Haunted]

Level with me here, guys. Metro Last Night worth it?

Things I didn't like about Metro 2033: disjointed narrative, linear level design, structurally not cohesive (surely due to them adapting certain chapters of the books and narrating/skipping others.

I've heard similar complaints about the second one so I've waited for a sale (like this). What do?

 

[Sarcasm]

I am up for some multiplayer battle block.

And buy Revengeance.

I won my first giveaway this sale. I actually thought I did something wrong with ModBot until today.

 

[JakeD]

why is there not a real 3k badge?

 

[JaseC]

It'll update automatically. The 3k badge has been on Valve's servers for at least a couple of weeks now (thanks to text for the heads-up), but it hasn't been implemented just yet.

 

[Monooboe]

Dammit I did it! Bought 8 TF2 keys... now I just have to find a trader to get that Divinity Original Sin!

 

[Chariot]

why is there not a real 3k badge?

Is that your cat? It looks really cute.

 

[Shadownet]

It's not Shadow of Mordor, but it's a decent game.

I woke up 2 mins too late for this I've been wanting this forever now...

 

[CecilRousso]

103 more games

I have about 100-120 games overall, after 7 years with my Steam account .

Congrats, 3000 is a nice number.

Well, as long as you don't have the 3K badge, you'll still be a poor little 2K newb. Sorry.

Forget the second one exists and go with the first, believe me the first game is supremely better

So many games... and I thought I would be relatively high up there with 143 games... anyways congratz!

[molnizzle]

Re-posting this from earlier... anyone know?

Is there any way to make Steam install a game anyway even if it doesn't think that I have enough disk space?

I have a 64GB SSD as my boot drive, with the SteamApps library connected as a junction. I know that you can just add a second drive to Steam now, but that doesn't work in BPM. You don't get an option to select the drive, it just defaults to the same drive Steam is installed in. So junctions/hard links are the only way to go.

Anyway, it's no big deal with most games since I have 30GB free on the SSD. As long as a game is smaller than that, Steam *thinks* the C:\ drive has enough space and will install the game. But I'm trying to install Wolfenstein. =(

Any tips?

Escape Goat -- MB-2243B3B685A85A41 - Taken by Htown

It's a game where you play as a goat! I hear those are popular nowadays.

EDIT: It's more of a strategic shooter than an RPG.

 

[Vazra]

I don't get it, why shouldn't Mass Effect 3 be a RPG? Am I missing something?

The writing is poor on Mass Effect 3 compared to the previous games and Fallout 3 is considered good in terms of the decisions. It aint perfect by any means but better than ME3 in terms of characters, decisions and lore. Also Mass Effect streamlined many RPG aspects from the original game that might as well call it a 3rd Person Shooter with light RPG elements.

Did Saoirse descend from the heavens to bestow barbie dream house party and your 3k+ badge upon you?

Because you've earned it

 

[Uni on Everything!]

About to make my final purchase before this sale ends... are CS:GO, Bioshock Infinite, and Valdis Story worth it at their current prices?

 

[| Praxis |]

Be aware, if they haven't patched it yet, sometimes in Enslaved occurs strange bugs, but they can be solved by changing resolution. For example, during a scene a wall didn't destroy for me, but changing resolution and repeating the section fixed the bug.

Thanks for the heads up. I have been meaning to play it for years, hope it's as good as a friend of mine made out.
