FTL is a great game, get it anyway!
www.ftlgame.com



And I am stuck trying to decide: ARMA II Combined Operations or Counter Strike: Global Offensive

Which is more entertaining, keeping in mind I want to do multiplayer, but might not have friends to play with. And a single player campaign is just icing. (Which I would play as well.)

 

[TheExodu5]

My vote is definitely for Counter-Strike. Arma 2 is not for everyone.

 

[dreamer3kx]

Close to picking up Sleeping Dogs, worth?

 

[Soi-Fong]

Man so mad I missed the Mark of the Ninja flash sale... Hopefully goes on a daily.

 

[Koroviev]

It can have some beautiful scenery though with the right mod installed.

Oh, very cool. Thank you for the heads-up.

You get so much more out of ARMA, it's crazy. You not only get the base game, which is a full fledged combat simulator but also DayZ. I would recommend to only buy CS:GO if you are really craving for that very specific type of arena shooter with fairly solid mechanics, but very little beyond that. Counter Strike does one thing very well while ARMA tries to do everything.

This FTL discussion, nay every FTL discussion, really piques my interest, but I just don't know if I'm up to it - I have spent so long reading impressions of the game, and enjoying the stories of your brave sorties, successful and otherwise... but don't know if I can see myself enjoying it.

So many folks can't be wrong, though, right?

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Dont listen to him, listen to other converts who actually PLAYED the game:





Seriously, never take advice from someone who hasnt played the game you are inquiring about. Seems like an easy enough rule.

Ok you win guys

Is only 4 € so I guess is worth the try.

 

[Isaccard]

Yes. Buy it now.

GAF has been wrong before

Binding of Isaac was the worst game I have ever played, so...

Well, many people can still be wrong with any sort of release hype and purchase justifications, but the game is just immensely well done and deserves every single sale it got. If you loved reading about the stories, just dive into it.

If you have any trouble, refer to this post for some gameplay hints and ask in the thread over there. Still pretty helpful little community, even though the OT creator already abandoned his own thread (booo).

Edit: Also, it got the TOSA.

Wei Shen's voice actor makes up for any and all plot holes there might be.

Worst? Oh come on. I didn't like it either but that's too harsh.

Finally the torture will end, so sloow compared to steam , and the game is for my friend too (

 

[Hofmann]

I've been looking through different places than usual and I found pretty good deal for XCOM on muve.pl for $22. Don't know if you can use it outside of Poland.

 

[Visualante2]

From my first run in FTL, I think this is something I can definitely get into.

It'll be on sale via Green Man Gaming tomorrow.

Is Splinter Cell Chaos Theory known to have any big technical problems? Can the online portion of the game still be played?

 

[Korranator]

So what were the negatives about Sine Mora? I heard something about balance issues.

Can someone enlighten me?

Step up your broadband game, son. Downloaded AC(6GB) in less than an hour.

 

[chickdigger802]

shit, I can't buy sims 3 expansions if I don't have the base game "on steam".

bummer.

Alright alright alright bought FTL. It's your head if it's bad though! Only cost me net $2 so it's technically under my $5 threshold. How do I get my steam key if I bought it from the official site?

I didn't have any problem with the game but I didn't get very far too.

They cloed the servers some years ago, AFAIK, so no.

How you get it for $2?

 

[Toma]

Balance issues? Huh. Only thing I can think of are some difficulty spikes in the levels and the HUGE difference in difficulty between story and challenge levels.

Its a fantastic shmup with a unique dying mechanic though and if you like shmups, a definite purchase with tons of content to chew through.

Edit: Another TOSA contender actually.

 

[ta9qi]

I was downloading something else by steam at the same time and that took all the speed, even though i tried downloading from amazon alone and it wasnt much better
the real numbers of minutes left is 50 min @@

 

[Macho Madness]

Had $3 in my Paypal account I didn't know about.

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

Bought FTL bastards. Hope it's good.

 

[Soi-Fong]

Playing through my copy of AC3 Deluxe finally since I've been so into Planetside 2 and just a lil burnt out by it.

Edit: Well, UBI is already pissing me off. I can't connect to their goddamn server to make a Uplay acct...

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Blood Bowl won. FM2013 is last. Surprise, surprise.

 

[DTKT]

So, who is that?

Thanks.

TOSA? I can't keep up with all these acronyms.

 

[sevenchaos]

Have BioShock 1 and 2 to give away.

Congratulations to gblues and viperthejedi on their wins. Enjoy guys.

Might be late on this but Book of Unwritten Tales is $4.76 @ GMG (steam key): http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/ca/en/pc/games/adventure/book-unwritten-tales-standard-edition/
using this coupon: GMG30-DPLIM-DN831
It's cheaper than steam's current price.

 

[Koroviev]

All I know is that it features music composed by Akira Yamaoka, which was more than enough to sell me on it for $1.75.

 

[Kinky John]

shit, I can't buy sims 3 expansions if I don't have the base game "on steam".

bummer.

Amazon US are selling most of the expansions for the same price right now.

 

[Toma]

Thanks.

TOSA? I can't keep up with all these acronyms.

Haha.

Oh my, I'd been on the fence about Dungeons for a LOOOONG time, but if it has the TOMA SEAL OF APPROVAL (TOSA) then that's good enough for me.

Basically the "Get GrimrockFTLSpaceChemFrozenSynapseCivCityGrandAgesLoneSurvivorSineMoraEverydayGeniusGalacticCivilizationsIIEndlessSpaceGeneforgeGnomoria"-award.

 

[Korranator]

Haha.

 

[ShaneB]

My 2012 GOTY. Damn right it's good!

 

[KorrZ]

Mark of the Ninja - $7.49
Total War: SHOGUN 2 - 10$

So far, Mark of the Ninja is the best game out of the ones I've picked up.

Voted F1. Please let me know which game you want to lose- everything I vote for will undeniably not go on sale!

Bloodbowl won.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Wasn't Blood Bowl already on sale?

 

[J-Tier]

Bought FTL.

Thanks GAF.

 

[Raxus]

Yes. Almost all voted games go on sale as a daily or a flash (if not all three like TWD) if they do or do not win.
