Think of is as a model railway that takes up less space and much less money...even if you buy all the DLC at full price.Inkblot said:

So how much fun/gameplay value is vanilla magicka as a single player game?

I'm trying to get through this sale with only $50 in my wallet. Day two and the damage so far is:
Just Cause 2: $4.99
Borderlands GOTY: $7.50
BIT.TRIP.RUNNER : $2.50
-----------------------------------
$35.01 remaining.
It'll be interesting to see how much gaming goodness I make out with at the end of this. I'm going to try as hard as I can to not go over my $50 limit. The last sale I went way overboard with micro transactions. This year $50 in my Steam wallet and call it a day.
I almost blew it yesterday and bought The Witcher 2, but I still have to complete the first so I managed to convince myself to wait for the holiday sale.

I have some questions about the GOG Interplay sale, but it's partially related to a Steam game.
I want to try some flight simulators since joysticks are affordable. Are Wings of Prey, Descent, and Freespace okay for a newbie? Are any of the sequels not worth playing?

indeed.
Yeah, pretty much. My understanding is that it's a simulator for model train enthusiasts, and that the huge variety of DLC provides an alternative to buying the actual model trains/tracks, which (as you can probably imagine) are much, much more expensive than the prices for Railworks' digital simulations.Orellio said:

Is the problem with Hamilton installing in a different location supposed to be happening to everyone? It installed in it's proper place for me. I was just curious.

It's really not that great. The fun of Magicka is the chaos that ensues when a bunch of people are all casting spells with wild friendly fire. Single player is boring and also very difficult (in the last couple levels anyway...damn yettis).
Edit: Although I actually think it is pretty overrated even in multiplayer. It's fun for a few hours, but wears out its welcome long before you get to the end. Me and my friends got bored I think on the second or third last level.
Valve really needs to do something with these servers and download speeds during these sales. I've been downloading DW2:Retribution since 6:30 cst. It continually just stops, server says fuck you, you're not downloading this now. But then I switch to the Russia Central server of all fucking places and I'm downloading at half my max speed, which is better than zero from the closest server to me, which is Chicago. I could literally drive to their data center there and get back home quicker than it would take to download it currently from there.
ooo, Thanks for pointing that out. I always wanted to check them out but the price was way more than I was willing to pay.

Thats the only reason I ever play sim games... to break them into the ground. Doesn't it just quit you as soon as one thing goes wrong? Thats so dumb.vocab said:

I hope Dead Rising 2 goes cheaper than $20.

My take with day 2 buys in the books
Civ5
The Longest Journey + Dreamfall
Shatter
Recettear
BIT TRIP RUNNER
SW Battlefront 2
Vampire the Masquerade
$42 for all that and 35 left in wallet with Snuggler money set aside for helping me with Civilization.

Bit.Trip.RUNNER does make my eyes strain a little. If everything weren't so blurry in front of Commander Video...Some obstacles mix reaaally well with the background.

I tried it with two different people and we couldn't even make it to the end of the first stage. It's pretty challenging. I gave up on that particular ticket.

I already had Just Cause 2, so I bought all of the DLC.
My haul for these two days:
AaAaAA!,
Back to the Future,
Bit.Trip Runner,
Garry's Mod,
and Just Cause 2 DLC.
Relatively light so far. I'm tempted to get DMC4, but at $10 it's hard to justify an impulse purchase.

They don't even have a publisher deal in this sale. EA is putting on the big boy pants with that Origin doomed to fail BSSteveWinwood said:

I gotta keep those $11 left I have in check. The only things I want for sure are Terraria and Last Remmant. I hope more summer achievements become available for games I already own. >_>
It's gonna be a tough week. D=
