The STEAM Sales and Releases Thread

Cthulhu saves the World? Now that sounds like another goddamn ironic, hipster indie game if I ever heard one.

It's surprisingly good. Yes, it's a hipster indie game (along with Breath of Death VII) but it's surprisingly well-designed for a JRPG knockoff. It has a fun combat system that doesn't get excessively grindy, and a good endurance mechanic that makes you manage your abilities much more than you would in other games. Both are definitely fun for the 5-10 hours they take to finish.

New Veags is 75% off today ,just 5 euros

On the other hand LA Noire complete has a 50% discount and I bought the retail version 10 days ago at full price

 

[Metro]

Today's deals are out: lol @ LA Noire being 50% off already. New Vegas drops to $5 for the base game and $2.50 per DLC. 66% off Two World stuff. That makes original Two Worlds around $6 and TW2 around $13. Might pick up one or both of those.

GODDAMNIT

(Lonesome Road is still "unavailable in my region")

It's funny going through the sales saying 'oh, that's cheap.' and then going to the page and seeing I have it, and wondering when I bought it. I've really got to start playing through this shit.

Two Worlds II any good? I seem to remember it getting bad notes here from people who thought the first was p. good for what it was.

 

[Hobo Elf]

It's poop. They did away with most of the things that were good about the first one. I guess you could sort of argue that it's a better game, but it still sucks. Also, I played it on a console and the blur effect when you walk or turn the camera is fucking headache inducingly bad. You could remove it via console command, but you had to do it each time you booted the game. You could permanently edit it out on a PC.
I dunno. I got to the second island, the bamboo island, and then I quit. Just wasn't as interesting as the first one. I didn't give two shits about the story, and I still don't, which is about the only thing they "improved" with TW2 (i.e force down your throat). I just wanted to walk around and go "whoa, there's a huge desert here".

 

[Crooked Bee]

They screwed up the exploration, i.e., the only thing that was arguably good about the first game. Meh.

Does Abe's odysee/exodus, steam version work on Win7 32bit? Have any of you guys tried them?

IIRC I took a peek at one of 'em on Win7 64bit and it ran fine, so I would assume they'd work in 32 as well.

Thanks man. I bought it and it works fine. It supports gamepad as well.

 

[Metro]

Thanks for that info re: TW2. I was considering it but I'll probably wait until both it and the expansion can be had for less than $20 total. Would have bitten on TW1 for $5... call me cheap!

 

[Satan]

two worlds isn't worth even $1. buy better games instead of that turd. i mean it's about the same level as skyrim, which means shit.

 

[Captain Shrek]

Bought New vegas and all DLCs. Also bought Zeno Clash. Seems to be ok combat wise from the description.

Then bought Total War Rome complete. FINALLY!!!

Also bought Medieval 2 Kingdoms expansion.

Any other suggestions?

EDIT : I have ALL the total war games. Except Shogun 1 and 2.

 

[Zak]

So, which of the spiderweb and/or basilisk games are worth picking up?

Will wait to see if any come on daily sale, but pretty cheap as is. All Geneforge 50% off, including the already discounted collection, 75% off both Eschalon, 50% off Avadon.

Any worth the time?

 

[Admiral jimbob]

Faggot: No Faggots and all DLC for 75% off. I played through vanilla on release and enjoyed it, but I'm really not sure how it'll hold up on a second playthrough. Halp plz.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Since you enjoyed it once, it holds up fairly well if you do a different faction. Plus you can run through all the DLC. And the DLC is definitely worth the 75% off price assuming you liked FNV at all.

 

[Elwro]

New Vegas is still very good on a second playthrough. (117 hours on my Steam counter and I still want more.)

 

[Humanity has risen!]

Glad to see I'm not the only one to think Two Worlds II was an absolute abomination. I still have residual headaches because of this bloom.

 

[villain of the story]

GODDAMNIT

Couldn't someone who can buy it gift it to you?

 

[Elwro]

No, it turns out such gifts don't work with the English version of New Vegas I'm playing which has a different Steam app id from the Western version. (There is no other difference.) Cenega really fucked the Polish Fallout fans with this one.

 

[villain of the story]

Entire Two Worlds collection was up for about $20 at GamersGate a few months ago. Included both games and all expansions for both. I was most tempted to buy, spent an hour watching gameplay videos for both and turned away. Game is just shit.

Oh look, it's on offer again there, albeit for $40:

Anyway, get FNV+DLCs while you can. Whole thing costs $11.44.

That sounds fucked up indeed. How about someone buy the entire collection and gift it to you while it's so cheap? Surely you must have philanthropist friends

The publishers don't deserve the money in this case. And when I finally have time to play Lonesome Road, yeah, well, I want to be a legal customer, but the other option will be a lot easier.
