How's Chivalry? It looks pretty cool, but anyone here actually played it before?

 

[Cloudius12]

Can't remember the last time Alpha Protocol went on sale.

Currently $2.62 on GMG with coupon.

 

[ReverseFate]

I'm looking to get Morrowind, are there any widescreen resolution mods?

Same joke gets reposted every few pages(the other post, not yours).

I finally hit sector 8 in FTL but the fire...it spread so quickly! There was nothing I could do..
potential GOTY

Yep.

My processor is a 3.0 GHz Athlon X2 250 that should be upgraded at some point, but I have a GTX 460, which supposedly shoulders more of the burden since it's a DX11 card. I generally avoid games if I can't play them on at least medium settings because I'm shallow.

It SHOULD run fine, but I cant guarantee it :/

I hate fire and invaders...

 

[IblisGinjo]

Is FTL no longer $5? It says it is one place but when I try to check out it's $7.50

Pm'd I'll gift you a copy.

 

[A Human Becoming]

Has Skyrim been selling for <$20 anywhere?

 

[Cloudius12]

Yep.



It SHOULD run fine, but I cant guarantee it :/

System requirements doesn't see demanding at all.

 

[Rollo Lawson]

Thanks to PSN and greenmangaming, I've made zero actual Steam purchases this sale...I feel somewhat...liberated

 

[J-Tier]

I implore you all to get and play The Witcher and The Witcher 2.

I remember when I first started playing and thought the steel and silver sword "mechanic" was really cool. Glad I kept going with it.

Not to mention the game is gorgeous.

 

[Baust]

You can play The Witcher 2 without playing the original, right? I'm interested in checking it out. Or should I just get both? Hm...

 

[Koroviev]

How's Chivalry? It looks pretty cool, but anyone here actually played it before?

Haven't played it, but I think it'd be worth a try. I offered to host a 4-pack a few pages ago, but no takers. I'm hoping the combat has a visceral feel similar to Demon's Souls. Nothing has topped the melee combat in Demon's Souls for me yet.

 

[Raxus]

What happened to the new Skyrim DLC? I thought the Dragon DLC was already out?

 

[fin]

I need some advice:

Sins of a Solar Empire or Endless Space?

 

[mneuro]

It is incredibly good. First Person Sword and shield combat seems like it's not going to work, but it does. It actually rewards learning to play over button mashing. It also isn't too hard to get the hang of.

 

[Koroviev]

Yep.


It SHOULD run fine, but I cant guarantee it :/

No worries, I wouldn't arrive at your door with a flaming pitchfork

I need some advice:

Sins of a Solar Empire or Endless Space?

Endless Space looks prettier. That's what counts.

 

[Omega]

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD

why..

i hope it was free

 

[J-Tier]

I hate fire and invaders...

I tend to upgrade doors, which is weird, so fire doesn't bug me so much at some point, but invaders. Man, invaders.

I hate em. I despise them. Whenever it happens I go into rare fits of rage.

 

[Toma]

I need some advice:

Sins of a Solar Empire or Endless Space?

Prefer Turn based? ES
Prefer RTS? Sins

Prefer Accessibility? ES
Prefer endless depth in space (ha)? Sins

 

[Koroviev]

Prefer Turn based? ES
Prefer RTS? Sins

Prefer Accessibility? ES
Prefer endless depth in space (ha)? Sins

Has Endless Space been featured yet? I recall it being a flash deal or something.

 

[Shepard]

I need some advice:

Sins of a Solar Empire or Endless Space?

Tough choice... I guess it depends on what you prefer: Sins is focused on the combat, the colony management is pretty thin, while ES is more like Civilization in space (combat still has its place, but you'll also have to do a lot more micro-management of your planets).
Imo, ES>Sins

 

[mneuro]

Has Endless Space been featured yet? I recall it being a flash deal or something.

Yea, it was a daily for $10.

 

[Toma]

Has Endless Space been featured yet? I recall it being a flash deal or something.

Yeah, gets a big, fat thumbs up from me as well. Maybe it comes around as a deal rerun, who knows.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

For anyone who wants to get The Witcher 2.

 

[Felix Lighter]

You can play The Witcher 2 without playing the original, right? I'm interested in checking it out. Or should I just get both? Hm...

It tells a self contained story but many of the characters return from the first game and it continues right after the events of the first game. I don't think it's mandatory but I would at least catch up on the story one way or another. The 2 games play very very differently, so if you find that you don't like the original, definitely still give 2 a try.

 

[Typographenia]

You can play The Witcher 2 without playing the original, right? I'm interested in checking it out. Or should I just get both? Hm...

You could, but I would honestly recommend playing the first title.

It has some problems with slowdown in places, due to not having the best of optimization, but what the game has to offer is really solid. The writing alone is worth the time investment, as far as I'm concerned. I was a little reluctant at first, but I let the game show me what it was trying to do and fell in love with it. I think I probably clocked in around 80 hours on my first playthrough because I combed every single inch of that game world. So great.

 

[DirtRiver]

Anyone want a key for Saints Row 3 with all DLC? Tempted to get Episodes from Liberty City, so I might just trade my key for it.

 

[Martian]

How's Chivalry? It looks pretty cool, but anyone here actually played it before?

I have played it, and for me it's GOTY.

Granted, I didn't play much games.

It has its flaws (Framerate drops a lot), but if you can see past it, it's one of the most fun games ever.

You do have to be able to lose, because prepare to lose a lot. Being archer is difficult as hell, and it's gonna be a bitch to unlock all weapons.

For 12 euros, you can't go wrong.


Remember that you have the most fun if you don't play this game to win, because you will want to smash your keyboard against the wall.



I have also heard people say it has bugs like swings not hitting people, but I have never experienced this.


I've put 40+ hrs into it, and damn this game has been the most fun in a long time

 

[MRORANGE]

why..

i hope it was free

it wasn't, I slightly regret it.

 

[Felix Lighter]

For anyone who wants to get The Witcher 2.

This game could have learned from Assassin's Creed! ARGH!

Anyways, I believe the difficulty of the beginning was toned down with patches.

 

[Canis lupus]

We need 1 more for the Sins of a Solar Empire 4 pack.

does wither 2 support controller?

 

[robotzombie]

Lost Planet 2 was never, and probably will never be on sale right? (aside from the regular steamwide sale)

 

[dani_dc]

The world is at our command?

You know, feel free to gift it to me, I won't complain

Just bought Alpha Protocol on GMG, I heard about the bad gameplay but it was CHEAP.

Honestly, the effect your actions have on the story and how it all unfolds is more than worth the money. Plus I found the gameplay to be enjoyable, just try to stick with stealth.

 

[blindrocket]

The deals today are going to be awesome, I can feel it.



Buy FTL now, seriously.

Wow, I actually went to buy it, and my Wi-Fi flaked out and I only just now got it back up and running.

No space adventures for me.

 

[JaseC]

Lost Planet 2 was never, and probably will never be on sale right? (aside from the regular steamwide sale)

It hasn't been discounted beyond its general sale discount, no. Being a Capcom game, it's impossible to ascertain its chances of going on sale in the future.

 

[brandonh83]

For anyone who wants to get The Witcher 2.

What am I looking for?

 

[Shoogoo]

does wither 2 support controller?

Yes, but the first one doesn't

 

[Felix Lighter]

does wither 2 support controller?

Yes. Quite well actually. The menus are the only real issue but they are still very manageable.

 

[JLG-]

Has Skyrim been selling for <$20 anywhere?

Try the Buy/Sell thread on GAF. I got Skyrim for $15.

 

[cicero]

I tend to upgrade doors, which is weird, so fire doesn't bug me so much at some point, but invaders. Man, invaders.

I hate em. I despise them. Whenever it happens I go into rare fits of rage.

I wish opening the air locks violently sucked them into space, like the Alien Queen Mother in the movie "Aliens". It would be fun to visit random worlds and have the possibility of Alien infection too.

Spoiler

I have already had to fight my own infected crewmate during one run.

If they can do that, then I want a fast spidery Alien beastie coming out of the chest of a crewmate and wreaking Space havoc. Better yet, a chest-born slug Alien that I have to kill with Space salt.

 

[SJRB]

Grabbed Witcher 2, don't even know why haha.

 

[Koroviev]

Yea, it was a daily for $10.

Yeah, gets a big, fat thumbs up from me as well. Maybe it comes around as a deal rerun, who knows.

Oh, then I probably ignored it because the recommended requirements include an "i5/i7," so I assumed it would run like a dog.

It would be cool if it came up again as a flash deal. I'm a sci-fi kinda nerd.

Try the Buy/Sell thread on GAF. I got Skyrim for $15.

Yep, that's where I picked up a copy for my sister.

 

[IceIpor]

Haven't played it, but I think it'd be worth a try. I offered to host a 4-pack a few pages ago, but no takers. I'm hoping the combat has a visceral feel similar to Demon's Souls. Nothing has topped the melee combat in Demon's Souls for me yet.

If you're offering to host another 4-pack, I'll be in this time.

 

[derFeef]

What am I looking for?

A dude who complains too much (that part was tough, though, iirc) and thinks Assassins Creed has deep combat mechanics.

 

[Shepard]

For anyone who wants to get The Witcher 2.

And that guy has no idea how to play the game.

 

[Soi-Fong]

Still no Mark of the Ninja??!! C'mon!!!!

 

[Polishin8r]

Yes, but the first one doesn't

Yes. Quite well actually. The menus are the only real issue but they are still very manageable.

yes thas great thank you Gaffers
