Malcador Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 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.

Vilhelm Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 Wait, did Steam even HAVE Neverwinter Nights 2 before today?!
Gorgon Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 I picked up batman for 7,5 E Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Purkake Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 Color me surprised, I certainly didn't know if it was. Good opportunity to play Mask of the Betrayer for all the dirty heathens who still haven't...
Tale Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 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. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Morgoth Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 So, Lost Planet 2. Anyone thinks this is a good game? Rain makes everything better.
WorstUsernameEver Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 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!
Mera Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 Nice to see NWN2 finally on Steam. I think it was in 2008 that Rob said on old nwn2 boards that Steam release was almost ready
Nepenthe Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) Wait, did Steam even HAVE Neverwinter Nights 2 before today?! 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. Edited December 27, 2010 by Nepenthe You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Wrath of Dagon Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) 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.

Flouride Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) Had to pick up NWN2 from Steam as well just for SoZ because I haven't played it yet 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 Edited December 27, 2010 by Flouride Hate the living, love the dead.
Malcador Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 EVE for $5, worth a try. Although, probably the wrong crowd . This and the trailer in theaters, odd how CCP is pushing this expansion, compared to others Why has elegance found so little following?

Purkake Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) Mmm sozzy. EVE for $5, worth a try. Although, probably the wrong crowd . This and the trailer in theaters, odd how CCP is pushing this expansion, compared to others I'd say the free 14-day trial(21 with an invite) is a better option for trying the game out. Edited December 27, 2010 by Purkake
WorstUsernameEver Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 Well, Flo, it's never been on Steam before, I wouldn't expect anything less.
Flouride Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 Well, Flo, it's never been on Steam before, I wouldn't expect anything less. I know, maybe in 2015 we will get Kotor2 on steam as well Hate the living, love the dead.
Malcador Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 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. Why has elegance found so little following?

Purkake Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 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.
Tale Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 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.

Malcador Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 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. Why has elegance found so little following?

Purkake Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 I just need to convince myself that I don't in fact like EVE every now and then when I hear one of the awesome stories about someone getting betrayed or a giant bank scam.
Malcador Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 Ahh ok, an inverse Deus Ex effect. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Tale Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 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. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Deadly_Nightshade Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Pretty sure it didn't have ANY Atari games. 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. "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
