The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

[sea]

So Divinity II worth that price? Would probably be half that come winter sale.

Divinity II is worth it for the writing/world/characters/quest design/general Larian goodness. Character system is also alright. Doesn't have the best combat but it's certainly serviceable.

 

[Pelvis Knot]

Finally arma on daily, but I'm not giving 15€. You disappoint me Gaben.

 

[Infinitron]

Not even a larger discount on ARMA1 or Cold War Assault?

 

[Hobo Elf]

And Divinity 2 is a flash sale now, for those who wanted it to win the poll.

 

[Stabwound]

Divinity 2 is pretty good but the combat is abysmal. Possibly the worst of any action RPG I've played. Fighting in melee feels like you're waving a feather duster at the monsters or something.

There is apparently a demo so I'd probably google that and try it before buying it.

 

[sgc_meltdown]

Fuck you THQ for not moving the dawn of war 2 games individually to 90%

I have a shelf ready for those shoes dammit

 

[Metro]

To review last few posts: Bulletstorm is shit (so Morgoth you'd probably love it). Yes, all the Paradox stuff from Amazon activates on Steam. And, fuck, they sneaked in Evochron Mercenary at 75% off... still dunno if I want to pay more than $5 for it.

This x 1000. It's extremely off-putting for an ARPG. Gamebryo engine was a horrible choice for it.

So the sale is almost over and we still haven't got a 90% off Kingdoms of Amalur sale?

:declining: of GabeN?

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Probably nothing for me out of this batch. Bleh.

 

[Metro]

Also keep in mind those Paradox packs from Amazon that activate on Steam all run through to the end of July so you have time to decide.

 

[Infinitron]

So, what do you think? Will the last day be a recap or will it have new stuff?

I imagine there's nobody left that even cares about talking with Valve and making that sale. Shame, the remains of 38 Studios could have made a quick buck to help pay their lawyer fees.

 

[sgc_meltdown]

Doesn't Amalur not even have that FOV patch they promised to implement?

 

[Metro]

I don't remember the FOV being cramped when I played the demo. Looked like standard MMO FOV.

 

[Merkwürdigliebe]

Need a an American address to purchase that stuff on Amazon, Though entering my old address there worked just fine since I don't actually want any physical goods delivered.

Any way now I got a few extra DLC keys for CK2 since I already owned those. If any one wants them just post here or PM me.
The ones I've got to give away are these

Songs of Albion
Songs of Faith
Songs of the Holy land
Mongol units/portraits

 

[Metro]

Yes, it's been said a few times in this thread you just need to fake a US address.

 

[Infinitron]

1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20500

 

[Azalin]

1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20500

I wonder if they will actually accept that address....

Nobody actually checks, so I guess so.

The Bohemia sale is really pathetic, but it was expected. They've never had a great sale.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

It's ok Gaben. Even though this summer sale has sucked I still love you.

 

[Captain Shrek]

How is Evachron mercenary, Multi-headed Cow?

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

No idea. I'm too busy playing farting simulators and popamole FPS to be playing such a fine monocled free roaming space adventure.

Edit: And the C&C franchise bundle just arrived in a flash sale. Since that was a new bundle just for the summer sale I was thinking it was going to be a ridiculous deal like $10 for everything, but no. It's actually a few cents more to buy the bundle than all the games individually.

ELECTRONIC ARTS.

 

[Captain Shrek]

No problem mon mai, lets ask our local skywayman, MetalCraze.

 

[Metro]

From what I've read there's a huge learning curve but it ultimately pays off. Still, not sure I want to wade into that. Probably passing on it, myself.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

My biggest concern on Evochron is I've got X3 Terran Conflict with the expansion sitting on Steam mostly (Dicked with it for a little) unplayed. If I was going to dump hours of time learning one of those games, I get the impression X3 is deeper especially with mods. Evochron's got the kinda cool planet shit, but eh.
