Rummy Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 Cheers, I'm buying it! (btw for any fans of Tower Defense games, maybe keep watch for an even cheaper reduction on Defender's Quest Valley of the Forgotten. Bought it a while back, it's a TD game with an RPG element that your 'towers' are characters that you level as the game goes along. It doesn't feel as polished as some, but it's a pretty cool idea and I really enjoyed it until I stopped playing due to having too many games!)

Tales Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Bought Tropico 4 on the community choice, think I voted for it too. Won't be playing it any time soon though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Whats everyone doing about the trading cards then? Are you bothering to try and collect sets, trade or even just sell them on? So far I have completed the Don't Starve set and crafted that into a badge but thats mostly because I was in the trading card beta so already had a few of them. I havent bothered trading any yet but I did sell 2 of my duplicates on the steam marketplace. Only for 20p each so they would go quickly but it was a nice way to top up my steam wallet. Im considering just putting all my cards up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tales Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I'm only level 3 so I can't get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Ys 1 & II+ Flash sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Oh yeah I meant to ask which would be worth getting, 1 and 2 or Origins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 It's difficult to pick really as they are both excellent. Ys I & II use the old bump system to attack, Origins uses an attack button plus has additional special moves. Story wise Origins takes place 700 years before the events of Ys 1&2 so it's the only game in the series that doesn't feature Adol as the main character and also explains some of the events that get mentioned in Ys 1&2. The whole of Origins takes place within a single tower but it's varied enough to not get boring. Origins also has 3 playable characters but they have essentially the same story from different angles. Otherwise gameplay is rather similar. Both games are fairly short Ys 1&2 (around 8 hours), Origins is a bit longer. Origins has a demo. Chronologically I would go Ys 1&2 then Origins or Oath In Felgana (which tends seems to be liked more I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drahkon Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 The Witcher and The Witcher 2 on sale. Bought them both. Highly doubt the second game will run fine on my PC, though. But I hear good things of the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I was a bit disappointed with the first Witcher, some of the systems used werent great but Ive been told the 2nd one fixes a lot of the problems so I'll be buying it later. Might grab Tomb Raider as well so I can get rid of my PS3 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I got the Witcher 2 in a sale and the main character is completely unlikable and the combat is a mess. Although there's a combat overhaul mod out now so I may give it another go with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I didn't have any issues with the combat. There's also some nudity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tales Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I don't quite understand the cards. I got four of them by either buying or playing Tropico 4. They are all Tropico related, is it better for me to sell them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I have an extra Skyrim summer sale trading card if anyone wants to trade for any of the other special summer cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tales Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I recommend the Total War series, particular my all time favourite Medieval 2(and the expansion). The entire series and dlc are 75% off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummy Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 I don't really understand the trading card thing myself. Been meaning to actually look into it but just haven't had the time yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnas Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 From what I understand, you get a random summer card for every 10 Dollars (yes, dollars) you spend during the sale. You can trade repeats with friends, and if you get them all... that's what I don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 If you get them all then you craft them into a badge and start all over again working towards the level 2 badge. Badges give you XP which then levels you up. The higher level you are the more perks you get. I just leveled up to 12 the other day and got 5 extra slots on my friends list for example.

Jonnas Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 So... Deus Ex: Human Revolution is about to go for less than 3€. I hear something about a Director's Cut version, so should I hold off, here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxigen_Waste Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I hope we get a random 91% sale on something that's just come out like what happened with Sleeping Dogs last sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 That's a very specific number. "Oh, it's only 90% off? Not interested." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Gibbs Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 So... Deus Ex: Human Revolution is about to go for less than 3€. I hear something about a Director's Cut version, so should I hold off, here? I suppose it depends on how they want to implement said directors cut on the PC, if its released as a paid for upgrade, or free upgrade then the £2.34 (or whatever it is) is amazing. The directors cut corrects all the issues people had with the game and create a definitive version, that said this is a 9.5/10 game as it is, its almost perfect hard to pass it up at that price eitherway....its probably worth wasting that tiny amount and buying the directors cut separately if it is done as a standalone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnas Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Good point about the upgrade. It's bought. As it turns out, keeping a policy of "Nothing above 3€" still gives me so much leeway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmsly Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) It seems if you drag and drop the postcard image on the front page of steam you can see one of the games that will be on sale the next day: Today/ this afternoons should be Torchlight 2 if this is right.

Jonnas Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Jesus Christ, Mark of the Ninja is friggin' awesome. On a more related note, Germany has helped keep my wallet in check. Bioshock? Half-Life 2? Nope, Germany has low-violence versions. I'll wait for the next sale instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmsly Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Jesus Christ, Mark of the Ninja is friggin' awesome. Yeah it absolutely is. I'd highly recommend it to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
