STEAM!

Hmmm Arma 2 75% off.

 

I thought about picking it up bit decided to wait. Likely a mistake given that it's off sale and might not go on again for awhile, but I can always pick up a physical copy Combined Operations at a discount -a quick search shows that it has already been marked down by $20 at some stores- and have an almost DRM free copy that's not tied to Steam (they got rid of the disc-check but FADE is likely still active). Plus I picked up Dragon Rising when it was $3 and so I'll get through co-op mode with that before I move on to a similar, although possibly slightly better -I've seen arguments on both sides-, title.

 

 

Well DR is a different genre than Arma, so no point comparing (DR does have tremendously sucky bits). I decided to just wait until Arrowhead is on sale and get it then.

Wait, did Steam even HAVE Neverwinter Nights 2 before today?!

Release Date: Dec 27, 2010

 

Nope! I'm going to have to buy me a second copy now.

That's cool for those that haven't basked in the glory that is Mask of the Betrayer I guess. This coupled with Neverwinter by Cryptic and the Hack & Slash very likely going to be a turd game means that Atari is trying to milk the franchise again I guess. Good for them, maybe Obsidian can take the opportunity and put out another D&D game! :lol:

No, release date is "today".

 

Pretty sure it didn't have ANY Atari games. Too bad it's just one step short of awesome and is not multiplatform. Still picked it up. :lol:

You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

It's $9.99 for NWN2 Platinum including MotB and SoZ today only, better hurry up. Keep in mind some of the more recent mods require both MotB and SoZ, as I painfully found out.

Had to pick up NWN2 from Steam as well just for SoZ because I haven't played it yet :lol:

Oh and those heretics that haven't played Mask of the Betrayer, go buy it now!

 

Edit: Seems NWN2 is doing great. #2 on top sellers list :sorcerer:

EVE for $5, worth a try. Although, probably the wrong crowd :lol: . This and the trailer in theaters, odd how CCP is pushing this expansion, compared to others

Mmm sozzy.

I'd say the free 14-day trial(21 with an invite) is a better option for trying the game out.

One month does give you a better view on the game. Gives you a chance to get into a cruiser or get a good run of pvp (can start with RvB pretty damn early). Then again 14 days is free, so I guess that wins.

I liked EVE when I played it. I was a part of Goonfleet back when they still existed and were in SU. It was a good time, I liked the crowd.

 

I hated the PvP. Late night or all nighters. Couldn't stand that part of it. And that's when I quit, when we started moving everything into a war against the Russians.

Well, it usually takes me 2-3 days to realize that I don't want to play it, but I guess it's different for other people.

 

I'm surprised you even bothered to download it then, usually at that threshold people have left for obvious reasons. :)

One big thing I like about it is that there's only the one server. So, whenever you read about scams and wars, that's on the same server. It's like 'holy crap, I know those guys,' but all the time.

No, they were there - Riddick, The Witcher, etc. are all published by Atari. Still, it's nice that it's finally on Steam and I'm going to take advantage of the sale price to pick up a second copy for LANing. :p
