Is the banner saga worth the $5?

Is the banner saga worth the $5?

I would say no. One of the most disappointing games I've played this year.

Is the banner saga worth the $5?

Yes, even if you don't like combat mechanics, the graphics themselves are worth it.

Some people seemed to like it, but I sure don't.

tough one.

[Infinitron]

Banner Saga's combat will kick your ass. Buy it.

 

[DramaticPopcorn]

only if you are casul

 

[Lyric Suite]

Shadowgate, shit or not?

 

[Lyric Suite]

What about Two Derps? 90% off is a good deal, unless the game is so bad not to be worth a couple of bucks.

 

[Baron Dupek]

Second one if cool game with big world. But you need Worldmerge mod to combine basic game + addon + multiplayer missions and lands.
Cause basic game is small. And you get various tweaks that make game interesing.

Other than that it's same Two Worlds - action RPG with combining items (two weak swords into one better, or TW2 where you just strip it from material and turn into something else) and magic cards combinations.

 

[Bubbles]

only if you are casul

Banner Saga has more complex combat than the Shadowrun Returns games. Although I do consider SRR to be at least borderline casual.

If you're interested in Race 07 or the WTCC/STCC games, they're part of an extremely cheap (£0.79 GBP) bundle on Bundle Stars: http://www.bundlestars.com/all-bundles/born-2-race-bundle/

Funny, i picked up the whole SimBin pack on Steam for like five bucks just now. I think at this point i'm just buying shit because the deals are good, but i heard those games aren't bad.

GTR2, GT Legends and Race07 are some my favourite racing games. Can play them over and over again.

Banner Saga was far better than Dragonfall (except for the raid on the Aztec-themed corporation, that was pretty cool). It's sole problems are that it's short and the combat is slightly meta (you'll see what I mean). On the plus side you have gorgeous graphics, some C&C (not AoD or anything but the allegations that all choices are meaningless aren't true either) and the combat is, by 2014 standards, challenging (as in you'll probably lose fights now and then).

[Metro]

Eh, in both cases the art direction was more impressive than the gameplay.

They are good, yes, especially GTR2.
The problem is, if you're using a force feedback wheel, the physics are outdated. Also, almost all the cars that you can find on SimBin games have been modded into rFactor which has far better physics IMHO
If you are using a controller and just want to drive some cool cars without any hassle then those games are pretty much worth it.

What about Two Derps? 90% off is a good deal, unless the game is so bad not to be worth a couple of bucks.

Second one is a pretty meh linear game, while the first Two Worlds is a good exploration cRPG. I had lots of fun just wandering through the world and facing (non level scaled!) challenging opponents, while ignoring the boring main quest for many hours. It's only one euro, you should definitely buy it and play it. The second TW is basically the same as the first one but with the main asset - exploration - cut out, making it rather a mediocre game (you can only explore small and limited to chapter areas, like in the witcher).

 

[jagged-jimmy]

You can get the first one for free by registering on dlh.net. Also some other games.

Some of you may recall a post of mine some months ago about coupons that seemed to last forever, their expiration dates constantly being extended.

Last time I checked, I had 2 coupons for Pixel Piracy at 25% off to expire on April 15th 2015.

Now instead I have two Toki Tori 2 coupons for 10% off that expire on the same date.
