Purkake Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 (edited) Apparently Prey sold out some time during the sale, they ran out of CD-Keys. First DD game to sell out? Also Portal is 3 bucks/euros, go get it if you haven't played it, you bums! Edited January 1, 2010 by Purkake
Nepenthe Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 I've never played mass effect, but 4 euro's, that's practically nothing. Is it any good ? I think it's potentially what the original Baldur's Gate was - a prequel and a prototype to a brilliant game. A good game in its own right, but hardly flawless. Based on what I've seen of ME2, it will be relegated to the same role BG1 had, having played it makes you appreciate the sequel more and fondly remembered, never booted. It cost me a lot more than 4 euros, and I've definitely gotten my money's worth out of it over the last 6+ months. It's funny because BG1 was better than BG2. Story-wise, yes. In technical and design execution, no. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Oner Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 What?The background music(s) wasn't looped. It played once, then you wouldn't hear it until you loaded a save or re-entered the area (or was that a bug I had?). Which is a damn shame, 'cause it's an awesome OST. At least the sonss I payed attention to.

Kaftan Barlast Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 First of all, Mass Effect is pure awesomeness and anyone who hasnt played it should buy it. It's without a doubt Biowares best game and one of the most entertaining gaming experiences of all time. And secondly, BG1 was mostly a grindfest with very little story and character. BG2 expanded the concept into something real.

Im replaying ME right now and the time you spend in combat compared to traditonal RPGs is very short. There is no "not another damn cave of friggin' goblins!" combat fatigue.

Nepenthe Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 (edited) You think BG1 is a grindfest but think Mass Effect isn't? Something does not compute. Im replaying ME right now and the time you spend in combat compared to traditonal RPGs is very short. There is no "not another damn cave of friggin' goblins!" combat fatigue. This is very true. Unfortunately, it has the 'not another damn planet of friggin' mountains' mako fatigue. BG1 suffers from the AD&D systems core problem. The differences 1-2 levels can make at the lower end are astounding - this results in practically all areas having a mix of good low level encounters and insanely lethal ones. So instead of just either following the story or exploring, I find myself making a list of safe lvl 1-3 encounters and trying to find those on the overland areas without getting my bottom handed to me... in another words, due to the slow dribbling experience gain and steep power curve of 2e AD&D I just wind up metagaming the hell out of it. This is not a problem in BG2, as your start up higher (and probably overall level a bit faster, too) or Icewind Dale (where you get the first few levels in pretty rapid succession). The engine/gameplay improvements in BG2 are pretty significant as well. OTOH, I really like Sarevok as a villain and his plot to take over the world is at least pretty innovative to me. I also vastly prefer the BG1 casting sounds over the latin in bg2... Edited January 2, 2010 by Nepenthe You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Pidesco Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 BG2 has one huge advantage over other Bioware RPGs, which is that the plot isn't a by the numbers save the world/universe/whatever story. It may not be a very good plot, but at least it isn't the same tired and trite stuff Bioware has gotten used to churn out. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
Pop Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 (edited) It's also unlike other Bioware games in that intra-party plotlines and dialogue happened randomly, as opposed to in lockstep with core path milestones. Whinge all you want about lovetalks right after slaughtering a dragon, they didn't feel staged. Running into Jaheira's curse for the first time is genuinely bewildering. There are very few "what the **** just happened?" in CRPGs since then. Edited January 2, 2010 by Pop Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
Pidesco Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 What never ceases to amaze me is that, apparently, no one cares that, starting with NWN, Bioware turned party NPCs into static, monologue pez dispensers. It was a huge step backwards from BG2. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!!

crakkie Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 I actually had to check whether David Warner was really dead. He is not dead. Oh yeah, Trine and Morrowind are $5 today. I was hoping Empire: TW would be on a daily special before the sale is over. Oh Jimmy, you were so funny. Don't let me down. From habit he lifts his watch; it shows him its blank face. Zero hour, Snowman thinks. Time to go.
Deadly_Nightshade Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 You've got one more day, the sale lasts until the end of the 3ed. "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
Humodour Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 I'd better finish up buying the stuff I want on Steam and GOG. Hopefully the cheque has cleared in my account by now.

Gorgon Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 I got that free twice, once bundled with a GFX once with a mobo, neither versions worked propperly. Also STALKER 1 has been released for free. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Deadly_Nightshade Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 STALKER 1 has been released for free. It has?! An older build was released but I didn't know they had made the game freeware. "Geez.

I want teh kotor 3 Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) I picked up Stalker and Torchlight. 40 bucks worth games for $7... Nice.
