Wow. That sucks. 14 years is a decent run for most dogs at least.drizzle said:

Hm. Dawn of War II: Retribution suddenly looks interesting. But that game is Steamworks right? If so, I´ll wait.
Hot is the coop in that game?

Yeah, it's Steamworks. And coop is a blast, best way to play the campaign for sure.CecilRousso said:

That's awfully noble of you Mr Elysia.
*Leave me out of the drawing, I'm sure I'm not as excited about those games as others.
EDIT: Nevermind I'm an idiot, was looking at a quoted post.

If by miracle SSF4:AE shows up on steam sale, my purchases won't go over $15 summer...

I'm lazy but I got that one. It takes about 10 minutes or so and is easy. Just a tutorial level, another level, and then the third level. Make sure you kill the opponents along BOTH paths.Deadstar said:

Is anyone hosting a borderlands 4 pack? I'd really like to jump in on that if so.

I'm really hoping Civilization V goes on sale, 66%+ off would be ideal

I wish that Valve came up with a better achievement for Lead & Gold. Something simple like kill 10 people in one match. Something, anything that actually promoted people playing the game instead of popping into a server only to find no one is really playing and everyone is farming headshots for the summer thing.
From the few genuine matches I've actually been able to get into, this seems like it would be a really fun game if it had a more active community.

I hope the sale boosts the size of the Lead & Gold community.

What about X3, guys? Should I buy GOLD edition, or I'll be cool with X3: Terrain Conflict only?

The SA X3 thread that everyone seems to refer to advises to buy Terran Conflict only.

I bought a couple $10 indie games I've had my eye on for several months. Both were discounted to $2.50:
Harvest: Massive Encounter
http://store.steampowered.com/app/15400/?snr=1_4_4__13
Hinterland
http://store.steampowered.com/app/17140/?snr=1_5_9__13
Both games are a little rough around the edges (Hinterland moreso), but both play around with genre conventions in neat ways, and feel pretty experimental and fresh (again Hinterland moreso). So... I can't give either one a "ZOMG BUY" recommendation, but after playing around with them, I'm glad I finally have them both in my library, and they'll both be getting more playtime this summer.
~~~
Hinterland marries very simplistic action-RPG combat with fast-paced, on-the-fly town building. You start with a small home base. You earn gold by defeating monsters. This gold can be spent to build homes for various visitors that wander through, allowing them to move-in permanently. The visitors that wander through are random, so you have to "make due" with whoever comes by. Each new citizen provides a benefit. Getting an innkeeper creates an inn, which generates extra gold and allows for more visitors. Farmers feed citizens. Craftsmen make weapons and armor, etc. The town upgrading has a nice feel to it because there's never enough G to do everything you want. Upgrade your farm, or hire that undertaker? Etc.
The game's downfall is that the combat is VERY basic. It is literally holding down the mouse button, and nothing more. Hold it down until the enemy is dead. If your life bar is dropping faster, run away. If the game's combat system was even marginally better, with some actual spells and skills, like a lightweight Torchlight, Hinterland would have potential to be a truly great, indie GotY experience. But alas, it isn't. Still fun, though.
Harvest: Massive Encounter I've had my eye on because a couple years ago I got hooked on a flash game called The Space Game. I was OBSESSED with it. I then found out it was basically a clone of Harvest (for shame, Casual Collective).
But... after playing Harvest a bit tonight, I've learned that The Space Game is actually a clone that improves on its inspiration. That game has an actual single player mission tree, and more tower upgrade options. Harvest does not. It's really just a handful of maps, each playable in a handful of open-ended game modes.
Still, it's a very fun formula. It's hard to believe resource management / base building can be distilled into something so simple and yet still be compelling. But it is! I'll be putting more time into this one, too. Just with it had a story mode.

Yep, it's a shame as it's very good. I picked it up during its last sale and i kind of regret buying it, because the community was all but dead a couple days after it ended.jaundicejuice said:
