Wasn't DMC 4 already $6.79? So this means it won't be cheaper right?
are those extra missions beefy? i'm on the fence

Can you expand on that a bit? What makes it worth it?

DmC isn't the deal, it's the pack of 3 and 4. It won't get cheaper on Steam, but you can pick it up from GMG for $4.76 with code GMG30-DPLIM-DN831.

whats Gafs opinion on Anno 2070? Can build cities like in Sim City?
Nice. I've just bought the game. I'll try that patch with it. Thanks.
sounds like a good mod for the checkpoints but everything else is not what i wanted. there's probably a mod to fix that alone somewhere.
didn't like him revealing the AC crossover but that sounds worth it. thanks.

Is this the cheapest Far Cry 3 has been to date?
It is like Tropico 4 where you place buildings instead of them just appearing like in SC4.
yea, so far all the price drops have been for the console versions at $40
Except for the gamestop misprice, yeah.

hmm never played Tropico 4 is it fun ? I heard the game is more about economy
It's not really like Sim City, but if you enjoy City Builder-ish games like Tropico I'm sure you will enjoy it.
I'd not buy it at this price though if you don't really want/need to buy it now. I've seen it (and bought it) cheaper already.

Does far cry 2 worth it?
Damn euro, 2.50$ is not 2.50
Damn euro, 2.50$ is not 2.50
I don't remember if I tried that or not, might give it another shot then.

heard it's great even with some annoying parts. gonna pick it up now.
Unfortunately, my modest google-fu skills tell me that's as close as you're gonna get to changing anything at all about the checkpoints. There's some guy on Steam who said he would try to do 2 mods for that: one with significantly delayed respawn times and another one with no respawns at all, but who knows when that might come into fruition.

You may end up not liking it, but it's worth it, yes.

In ANNO, it focuses on missions, the specific building, and economy at a closer level. I've only played the demo missions. Much different from Sim City games. Watch some Let's Play videos. I'm waiting for the $10 price point.
In Tropico 4, you focus on similar things as ANNO. I don't think you can equate Sim City with either of these; the formula is quite different.
Looks like crisis on low settings.
I don't even want Far Cry 1, I just want Far Cry 2, but IF i'm buying one of them, I'm buying both. Fuck it.
Also because I'll buy Far Cry 3 eventually and I won't have 1 and 2 on my list and that's going to piss me off, but still...

Still cheaper on GMG with the 30% off code. Not earth shattering cheaper but still...

ok I will HOLD!!! thanks
can somebody explain what this picture means exactly? I've seen it posted a few times, and I've never understood it.
i skipped FC1, it can be done!
Sim City really focuses on making a giant city and has a lot more micro-management. Tropico and this are much smaller in scale. You can still build quite big cities, and that's still a fun thing to do, but the focus lies elsewhere. In the case of Anno things like trading , the economy and gathering resources are very important. You're building the city to keep your people happy and make them prosper, not so much to make the city itself prosper (and look awesome) like in SimCity.
Personally prefer Tropico to Anno by the way, and it's far more enjoyable as a 'City' Builder than Anno (there's more buildings and freedom to build than in Anno). And it's cheaper to boot! So for the one that's the most like Simcity, go for Tropico 4 (or 3 with the expansion, they don't differ too much).
(Even then they're still quite different games though. The only thing on the market right now that's really like SimCity is Cities XL, but I've heard that's not such a great game.)

You might be waiting a while for it to get cheaper. Depends on how much you want it. It's a great game, and I feel good about paying full price out of it.

As far as I can tell, though some have tried to make mods for the checkpoints, none have succeeded. According to the Rewards mod dev, the checkpoint spawning part is stored in an archive that was unreadable to the archive viewer program.
The closest that they have come is the Realism mod, which slightly changes the AI of the checkpoint guards so that they don't chase you every time.
lol, collector mentality, i know what you mean. i'm fighting it! *pushes back FC1*

I understand that, but what is the significance to the sale?

Might end up getting Tropico 3 for like 2.49... that would make my yearly spending on steam like 15 bucks or so with summer steam sale and then Hotline Miami for $4.99...

It falls off toward the end, but the first 1/2 or 2/3 are some of the best gaming I did this year.

Don't do that to yourself man!
I loved Far Cry 2 and going back into it after playing through FC3 made me appreciate it even more, but that's a lonely club on GAF so I have trouble recommending it. It's worth playing considering how divisive it is, just to see what side of the fence you're on.
I tried getting back into FC1 a month back and couldn't force myself through the early section. I just didn't like the shooting as much as I did when I originally played it so I stopped.
Is it not obvious? Wait for better deals/daily/etc
Do it. It's great fun, especially for that price.
Why would you change this?!?! Best part of the game IMO, have you met any bandits who would just let you escape once you trespassed into their camp?
