The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

[Multi-headed Cow]

It is every man's right and proper duty to buy a copy of Dominions 4 and play it by themselves against the AI and never touch MP.

Commandos is a must play. At least the first one + expansion; never played the third one which is supposed to be bad, but we'll see.

I really need replay Commandos 3 to freshen my memory as to why it's so bad. Unnecessary 3D camera first comes to mind as far as I remember.

 

[lightbane]

Usually I wouldn't buy text-based games, but for this game I'm going to make an exception: You should check Choice of Robots: http://store.steampowered.com/app/339350

I believe it can be considered a Codex-approved title, because it gives you the possibility of buying your robot with a spider body with gun-arms and entirely made of wood, program it with Java, teach him love/hatred, invent new pronouns for said machine to use, prevent/encourage a robot uprising, get a robot arm and/or build a clone of yourself, conquer America and create a new nation for yourself, marry a guy or a gal or even your own creation and, lastly but not least, it's only for 2,94 €. It has a free demo too, in case you're not convinced

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

I was kinda thinking about picking up all those Choice of Game games on Steam. I enjoyed the free ones on the web, but I just dunno if the paid ones are really deep/complete enough to be worth buying. I know all the free ones end up blueballing you.

What? Camera and visuals are identical to Commandos 2. Except it doesnt support high resolutions.

And game isnt bad, in fact its excellent and great fun.

Choice of games are GUD

 

[Bubbles]

Grimrock 2's still a daily deal for two more hours at 30% off. Better game than MMX at least.

Is gods will be watching worth a couple of quid? Heard it was all a bit too random but it sounds worth a go

I heard it sucks and the only interesting thing is the ultra edgy story.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Actually, I heard it used to suck due to the "lolrandom" RNG taken to the extreme, but then in August they patched the game and it's in a pretty good shape when it comes to RNG now.

So, I dunno who to believe. The concept is interesting though, so really, just try it yourself (and let us know how it goes).

Also bought the two Metal Gear games, Revengeance and that other one. I never was a fan of the series (dunno what other people find in MGS), but I do want to support Jpn devs who want to bring their games over to the PC, so yeah.

Revengance doesn't play anything like the other games. It's an action game like Devil May Cry.

As for the MGS series, it has some pretty solid emergent gameplay. Not Looking Glass levels, but about as good as it gets on consoles. A lot of the humor is really good too, and Kojima always hides awesome easter eggs for players willing to look hard enough. The stories in general are overrated, but that's expected from video game fans.

MGS3 is the best one. I had loads of fun just capturing animals and then calling Para-medic to ask about them.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Yeah, I know Revengeance is an action game. I just wanted to support Japanese devs/publishers in their Steam efforts.

But yeah, thanks, I'll give MGS3 a try. I tried some other game, I think (was it 2?), and thought it was pretty lacklustre.

Mount & Blade is 80% on sale as a daily, but does not show up on the frontpage, at least for me.

Is banished any good?

 

[oscar]

Legions of Ashworld 75% off. Gonna grab it

 

[Hoaxmetal]

Is banished any good?

Afaik it's good for 5-8 hours, not much to do when you have figured out how to survive efficiently.

 

[Markman]

I grabbed Brothers and Postal 2 for 2,50 and grabbed on gmg Skyrim Legendary+Toybox Turbos for 10 quid with that 22% off coupon.
So far, gmg has had better deals on pretty much anything I looked for.

I have displeased Gaben. Got a horrible flu the day after Christmas despite getting my vaccine. Now Obama has his nanobots in my bloodstream and can delete the porn signal as it travels from my eyes to my brain. If I die tell Gaben I love him.

 

[HanoverF]

I'll tell him if you will me your steam account.

 

[Dr Tomo]

lolno

What is your issues with Denuvo? Did Valve forget to put in the game uses drm? Didn't see it listed like Ubisoft with their Uplay.

A lot of people are claiming denuvo is doing thousands of writes per second killing performance and possibly SSDs.
