Is the Splinter Cell Conviction Deluxe content worth the extra 3 dollars?
Click to expand...

NO

The weapons/armor are bullshit and you can unlock Insurgency mode with uPlay garbage points that you'll earn through the game. Save your $3 and buy the $3 DLC that adds additional content to the VERY FUN Deniable Ops mode.

Should I feel compelled at all to buy Conviction at that price? In all likelihood I won't get around to playing it for a long while.

Deniable Ops mode is awesome, but the single player campaign is garbage.

Need some advice:

Is the Mafia 2 DLC Joe's Adventure any good?
I've read that Jimmy's Vendetta isn't good, but for 1,99€ what do you think?
Click to expand...
Joe's Adventure is definitely worth getting.

If you really like Mafia 2 then Jimmy's Vendetta will get you more missions for a low price but it isn't as good as Joe's Adventure.

It's decent with a couple garbage missions.

It's not the old Splinter Cell games, but many people (assuming they don't quit at the craptacular Baghdad level) will find it fairly enjoyable.

I'm trying to get the ticket for the Spiral Knights achievement, but I can't log in with Steam. It says "Logging on..." and then 30 seconds later it says "You have been disconnected". I couldn't really find anything definitive by Googling, so you are my last resort GAF! Please help!

You, sir, have been seduced into the wrong thread. Pretty soon you'll look back and marvel at your sweet innocence. That's not a backlog:)

At this point, I can't even consider it a backlog for fear of insanity, because that implies obligation to play all those games I have. No no, it's just my personal library of sorts.

Chaos Theory is without doubt the best.

The original is pretty good, but they hadn't worked all the kinks out. Chaos Theory is the game where it all came together in spectacular fashion.

Mafia 2 is "Good" but Mass Effect 2 and Fallout 3 GOTY are "Meh"? Your standards continue to amaze.
Click to expand...

I'll take Mafia 2 over Mass Effect 2 any day. It doesn't help that both games are games I'll only ever play once. And because of that Mafia 2 was so much better.

There was a Winter Voices achievement today, so I doubt it'll go cheaper.

I wish there would, I want the whole collection but it's $10. Maybe $5 is better if it's anything like the demo.

Total War is 32GB???
Click to expand...

Yes, unfortunately. Empire started off a trend of massively sized Total War games which has yet to come to an end.

Hope you don't have a bandwidth cap!

I'm in the SWTOR beta, and the game is roughly 38GB's

Ooh, Dota 2 Beta!

So, Splinter Cell Collection $18.68. Worth it? I never played any of them, and I've been interested in them since forever.
Click to expand...
Yes, the only outdated game there is the first Splinter Cell. Chaos Theory is a master piece and Conviction and Double Agent are really good games. Conviction multiplayer is really good. I don't know if Chaos Teory co op works online these days.

I don't know what Conviction gets so much shit, the control scheme is really clever and to some extent influential. Is more action oriented than the rest of the series, but you can still stealth the game, its just that is a bit harder to do than in the others.
