The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

Maybe after the Lara Croft one?

 

[Menckenstein]

They need to hurry this the fuck up. That's really the only thing I am half interested in.

Might not be a Dungeon Siege 'day' since there's really only one title -- DS3 and the collection. Hell, might not even be two more days of new deals, just one on Sunday. I'd expect Just Cause to be one of them.

 

[Metro]

And ZOMG it's Dungeon Siege Day! Pretty funny since there's really only one title (as the old ones can't be bought separately). If I hadn't already bought DS3 for $5 then I definitely would have gotten the pack of all three + expansion for third for $10. Note that the two old ones don't include their expansion or multiplayer capability.

 

[sser]

Picked up DS. More interested in the older titles; the way they've packaged them is some bullshit, which is why I waited this long to purchase. Maybe DSIII will surprise me anyway.

 

[Metro]

$10 for all three is a good deal. DS3 isn't good, but it isn't horrible, either. The combat mechanics are pretty nice although the game gets extremely repetitive. The story is extremely generic and there's no real point to the 'choices' so you probably just want to skip past all the dialogue.

I got somehow coupon 50% off AssCreed Revelations in my inventory. As Im boycotting drm faggots so if anyone is intrested in the coolest and latest Ubisoft games can have the coupon. Steam tells me I cant gift it but I can trade it for anything really.

Yeah I have Asscreed Revelations at 50% off and might and magic clash of heroes 66% off coupons, if someone wants those and has some shit to trade (it's not giftable) can do.

Kind of random, but since we're talking about coupons, I'll throw this out here.

If anyone has a coupon for any of the ARMA games, any ID games, or for any Unreal game, and you never plan to use it, I'll gladly take it

ARmA coupon would be cool for me too.

Purchased DS pack. I wanna help Obsidian.

 

[Markman]

I got DS pack too. Wtf is with blue and green puffs of smoke from guns in DS3? Looks like a kiddy cartoon game, DS2 was way much bloodier if I remember correctly.

 

[Metro]

I wanna help Obsidian.

Do what? Make another crappy licensed multiplatform title?

 

[RK47]

Obsidian Presents

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

I would kickstart the FUCK out of that. God damn. You just broke my heart RK47.

 

[Markman]

man, im dissapoint. DS3 early impressions not good. kiddy combat with camera thats never where it needs too be. Is there a camera lock button?

 

[Metro]

Unfortunately I don't think so -- you just have to live with the shitty camera.

 

[HanoverF]

Shitty camera in an Obsidian game?! What You Say?!!

 

[RK47]

Dungeon Siege: The Cure to Insomnia is the perfect classic ever.

 

[Angthoron]

What are you people talking about, Dinky Siege Tree has the best cam Obsidian has made in these last few years.

 

[Markman]

Imo, its a bit quirky designed. W+S for moving forw-back and A+D for moving camera that you can still move with the mouse instead of turning of char you play. And it follows your ass literally so if you move forward and when thugs come at you youre trying to back down the game turns the char and rotates the camera 180 degrees at the same time youre trying to escape, aim at baddies and move. Very dizzy experience, when playing ranged char its a massive pain in the ass.
Instead of just centering the camera on character, move at will with WASD and if I want to rotate the fucking camera I'll do it by moving the mouse at the edge of the screen.
You know like any other normal game. And that left click to shoot and right click to walk is fucking stupid, sometimes when theres a bunch of shit on the screen I dont know if Im walking or attacking. If i right or left click on the enemy it should attack IMO. Not walk to it.

Im amazed that such a simple hack and slash(and shoot) game can be such a pain in the ass to control. I miss the old click-kill click-kill times.

 

[Metro]

It's widely known what a terrible port DS3 was -- the camera is just one of the problems.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Weekend deals, Trine 2 $7.50 and Gotham City Impostors $7.50. Gotham looked slightly fun, but it uses GFWL and like all low budget multiplayer FPS has 0 players.

Trine 2 looks ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL AND I WANT IT BUT I AM FIGHTING MY STEAM DEMONS BECAUSE IT SURELY WILL BE IN AN INDIE BUNDLE AT SOME POINT. BUT WELP THE STEAM DEMONS ARE WINNING. PROBABLY GONNA BUY. That's the problem with those indie bundles. I was perfectly content buying games on Steam when they hit prices I want and wasn't too bothered if they got cheaper, but when cheaper means $7.50 or less than a dollar I get twitchy again.

 

[sgc_meltdown]

MAN I NEED ANNUDER HIT OF DOSE DEALS SO BAD I GOTS THE SHAKES NOW MAN JUST ONE HIT DATS ALL I NEED ALL I WANT GABE I LOVE YOU LIKE A BROTHER

 

[Metro]

Not going to budge on Trine 2 until it's 75% off given the fact it's prime bundle fodder.
