The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

[Quilty]

Bought a copy of Frozen Synapse, have to keep up my reputation of being a true retard Steam bro.
Speaking of being true retard Steam bro, figured this out a few days ago via Steamcalc.

"Found 380 Games with a value of
$4858.71 USD"

Then I bothered to go through my order history on Steam and add up all my purchases (Actual total might be a bit lower since I've hosted some split game bundles, but I didn't bother checking all that) which came out to $1821 since I made my Steam account in 2005. So roughly $5 spent per game, $300 per year.

Your choice of avatar befits a man of such appetite.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Son of a bitch. Tempted to snap up all the Tom Clancy packs. Probably don't need to be spending $45 on that crap though.

 

[Metro]

Effff tht military shooter crap -- probably all play like the same game.

 

[Angthoron]

Ghost Recon is a poor man's version of Delta Force.

And Rainbow Six stuff? Bah, why couldn't there be RB6 and Raven Shield? They're the good games of the series.

 

[Gragt]

Fucketh me! I didn't realise this mediocre writer managed to get his name placed on so many game titles.

Umm, look at the very bottom? I think i saw Rainbow Six 3 Gold for 1,69? I think it's fucking worth it. Hell i own it already, but i bought it for the additional Gold content.

And by the way, the Raven Shield 2.0 mod is available again. Grab it while you can before Ubisoft finds out

So Thief: Deadly Shadows for 4 euro, worth it? I've been interested on having a look at the thief games but I have heard that while the old games are supposedly great the new ones are shit. So which category does this one fall under?

Don't listen to the naysayers. Although T1-2 is better, T3 is good to. I would gladly buy it on steam if I hadn't owned it 2 times already.

Yes, definitely. Grab the high-res textures for models & environments as well (same chap who did the high-res System Shock 2 stuff).

Though far below the quality of Thief/Gold/2, it's still an excellent game with one or two memorable levels.

This.

Let us know when you've played the mission called Robbing the Cradle

 

[sea]

Yeah, Deadly Shadows isn't as good as the other Thiefs, but for that price you can't go wrong. It uses the same crappy souped-up version of Unreal Engine 2 that Deus Ex: Invisible War does, but it ends up using the technology a lot more effectively, and it's a slow enough game that the smaller levels don't have as much of an impact.

 

[Gord]

Never understood the bashing T3 got, it's a good game.
Not the best in the series, but still good enough to warrant a try, esp. for 4 bucks.

Didn't like RS3, it wasn't the same for me. I do have it, DVD is hanging around somewhere. Might check that mod out though, thanks. Hm, and I might have mis-spoke and mixed Rogue Spear with Raven Shield, too.

Thanks for the link. How good is the game with that mod?

 

[Metro]

Red Faction stuff is on sale this weekend. Already tried Guerilla a year ago which I found to be a horrendous console port but how are the first two games? They're $2.50 each.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

If you were getting the "Game running too fast" error, they finally patched that. If that wasn't your issue with Guerrilla then nothing's changed, though.

 

[Metro]

No, I just think Guerilla is horrible from the cover shooter combat to the sluggish PC controls to the GTA style missions.

 

[Mangoose]

There's cover shooting in Guerrilla? Only played like an hour or two but didn't see that.

Thought there was but it's probably been a year since I played so I could be remembering it wrong. Combat was shitty, though, that I do remember.

 

[Tycn]

Guerrilla is great. Blowing shit up is a novelty I can stand behind. 1 was decent and 2 is horrible but neither of them use destructable environments as well as the third.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

There's cover shooting if you want to use it. Generally not recommended.

 

[Angthoron]

Regarding the Red Faction - first game is pretty neat, second is pretty meh, Guerilla is alright if it fits your bill - it's just shooting shit and blowing shit up and destroying skyscrapers with plastic explosives and a Big Hammer.

I found it pretty entertaining, though at times annoying. Dunno about cover shooting, never used it.

 

[Metro]

Not a sale but this game is coming to Steam in about a month. Indie combo of Magic style and poker with RPG elements.

 

[Hobo Elf]

How is that even remotely Magic style? It's just poker.

Well it's a role playing-esque card game, and I did say combo~

 

[Hobo Elf]

But it's just Poker where you do damage to the opponent if you win, instead of take their money / chips. There's nothing Magic-like there. You can't even play it online. This is one of the most useless entries I've ever seen.
