Magnus Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 I'd say that most games are worth buying at that price. It's definitely supposed to have some great ideas buried beneath all the massive flaws, anyway.
spirited away Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 This thread appears to be pretty dead so I'm not expecting much of a response, but I was just wondering if anyone else picked up Dungeon Defenders on Steam? Shitty name. Quality little game.
Sméagol Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 I generally avoid anything with some variant of “defence” in its name. Last game I bought was Alpha Protocol for € 2,-. Felt like I was robbing the developpers. After everything I heard, the game was pretty good, wouldn’t have regretted it if I had paid full retail price for it.. Yeah, it wasn’t perfect, but can’t remember anything I found really annoying. I have games for which I paid more (like full retail price in some cases), which I enjoyed far and far less. In my other post about this game, when I was asking if it was worth € 7,50, the previous deal for this game, I said I’d wait, and perhaps buy it on disc when I have more money spend. Now I have it for € 2,-, I’ll definitely buy it on disc, like I said, € 2,- felt like a crime.

However, this game is a really addictive blend of the hack and slash, tower defense and RPG genres.

Burny Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Anybody here into GoG? They're having an extended Christmas sales and virtually everything is 50% off. The Witcher 2 is currently 24$. They're also giving away Empire Earth Gold free until sometime tomorrow (?).
The Bard Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 GoG don't have the one game I would want from that sort of collection: System Shock 2.
Nolan Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 And what a good game it is. But your not even interested in the old bioware classics? I urge everyone to play Planescape Torment.
Magnus Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Did you just call Planescape: Torment a BioWare classic? :p But yes, everyone should play it.
The Bard Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Wasn't that one of Black Isle's games before they became defunct and restructured into Obsidian? Or was that Ice Wind Dale? I've never played it, but I have played Baldur's Gate 2. Good game, but a bit over my head at the age of 12 . It has been intimated that playing Dragon Age in an isometric viewpoint is a good approximation of that style. True/ False?
Nolan Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 Shiiiiiit! My mistake, yea Black Isle using the infinity engine that Bioware used for Baldurs Gate. Baldurs Gate might be approximated to Dragon Age...but with more to do and a deeper story. Icewind Dale was also Interplay Black Isle I think, but honestly can't remember, my mind is going. Also of note, Icewind Dale= Combat with some story. Baldurs Gate= a good mixture of both. Planescape Torment= All about the story, weakest but passable combat/gameplay. Really though...Minsc alone is a better character than all of Mass Effect and Dragon Age. That's just my thought on how Bioware has changed though.
Emasher Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 The Steam holiday sale started today, Just Cause 2 for $5, Portal 2 for $8, etc.
Happenstance Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Pretty much my entire wishlist is reduced at the moment. Gonna have to limit myself for now. Probably buy Magicka, Command & Conquer 3, The Binding of Isaac, Company of Heroes and maybe Bully.
Emasher Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Can you buy through a browser? Yes. 1010101
nightwolf Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 Grabbed myself plants vs zombies, overload 1 (getting 2 at some point today/tomorrow.) and now just bought creaVures. Just buying lots of cheap indie games that take my fancy as I already have magicka, terraria, portal 1 & 2. If anybody knows any amazing side-scrollers indie games, let me know.
The Bard Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 Wow, Rage is such a colossal piece of shit. A threadbare shooting gallery basically built as window dressing for a fairly impressive technology demo. The lack of dynamic lighting makes it look even more lifeless than Borderlands though, and the lack of skill leveling removes even that basic compulsion to play through the thing. What a waste of £14.99.
Nolan Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 I have heard nothing good about the game, and the PC elitists of HardOCP maintain that it doesn't even look all that special.
The Bard Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 That said, it is still an id game, and bears some of the best hallmarks of that studio; the primary one being just the fact that the base level shooting is pretty great, aiming is fluid as hell, and everything I expect to hit, I do. The weapons are pretty interesting in the way that you have multiple ammunition types, although I haven't had the opportuning to test them so far, unfortunately, everything seems so fucking scripted that the possibility of enemy reaction being different depending on what I do just seems laughable. There is pretty much no "AI" to speak of in this game. Contrast that with Bulletstorm which I just finished, and wow, what a colossal difference. It is most definitely one of the best shooters I've played in recent memory, and has just a manic sense of fun about it. Love that ish.
Happenstance Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Microsoft Flight Goes Free to Play: http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/121/1215651p1.html Quite cool, ive been in the mood lately to try another flight simulator and now I can without having to buy one.
Nolan Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 I can certainly concur that RAGE has absolutely silky smooth controls. Nothing else compares. I've actually just started Bulletstorm tonight, my judgment is that it's kind of fun. Can't say I'd be willing to pay more than the $5 I did (ESPECIALLY with GFWLive being such a shitty fucking component).

Can't say I'd be willing to pay more than the $5 I did (ESPECIALLY with GFWLive being such a shitty fucking component). QUOTED FOR TRUTH. GFW is a major caveat when picking a game to play. Thought I would test out how bad it was by buying Bioshock 2 when it was on STEAM sale (important, bought it from steam but still needs GFW). Took more than a day (lot of time on my hands) to finally stop my game crashing as soon as GFW kicked in. Eventually found out that I can't launch the game via Steam and expect to reach the loading screen, has to be launched from windows.
