Morgoth Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Interested in the Left 4 Dead bundle. Can someone tell me something about the singleplayer? I always thought this is a multplayer title... There is bot support, but this is really about playing with your buddies. More so than any other MP-orientated game I've played in the past. Rain makes everything better.
HoonDing Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Oh look, Arcania has a 75% discount. Buy, buy, buy. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Morgoth Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 No. Even if somebody would pay me to play Arcania I still wouldn't. Rain makes everything better.
Malcador Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Hm, still can't buy anything. At least I still get the discount, apparently, although the sale's done. Why has elegance found so little following?

GreasyDogMeat Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Can anyone comment on The Killing Floor? Is it like Left 4 Dead... better or worse? I feel like an idiot. I got the two Left 4 Dead games a few days ago for $26 and now its on sale for $7.50. I wish they'd ****ing tell what the upcoming sales are.
Bos_hybrid Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Oh look, Arcania has a 75% discount. Buy, buy, buy. Worth buying at it's price?
Calax Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 The way that I'm doing the sale is that anything that's not a daily deal, I'm not touching until the 10th. As to Killing Floor? It's basically mixing counterstrike with L4D. A single map that is fairly static, and you fight off waves of zombies. There's a class system that levels you up based on your particular achievments (like getting X number of headshots with Y guns levels up your marksmanship, giving you bonuses with those guns and discounts on them). It's fun in short bursts, six player max. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
WorstUsernameEver Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Oh look, Arcania has a 75% discount. Buy, buy, buy. Worth buying at it's price? No.
Lexx Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 I really wish that Killing Floor would get a campaign mode, like L4D has. Something where you have to do objectives while fighting off the hordes, etc. Played a lot Killing Floor, but after some time I've got fed up from all the same monster killin' wave by wave. It's something where you can have some mindless fun (best in coop with friends), though. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

That's why you wait until the last day before you buy anything not on daily sale...

I realized the next day and hoped one of the daily deals wouldn't make me feel like a twit... like today. Oh well. Left 4 Dead series is a great deal at $26... just wish I could have made it a steal at $7.50. Killing Floor sounds kind of meh. I'll stick to L4D.
Calax Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Is it wrong I sort of feel bad for Sir Roderick? Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Tale Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Is it wrong I sort of feel bad for Sir Roderick? Yes, because this is the second time you've mentioned him and I still have no clue who he is in relation to Steam. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Bendu Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 I feel like an idiot. I got the two Left 4 Dead games a few days ago for $26 and now its on sale for $7.50. I wish they'd ****ing tell what the upcoming sales are. There is only one rule for the Steam sales. Wait for the dailies, otherwise buy on the last day.
Malcador Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 I'm amazed people pay money fo Killing Floor. Played that on a free weekend, got boring super quick. Why has elegance found so little following?

Rosbjerg Posted July 6, 2011 Author Posted July 6, 2011 I'm amazed people pay money fo Killing Floor. Played that on a free weekend, got boring super quick. Yeah I never really found a liking to it either.. it's ok with 3 friends and mics, but it just seems so pointless. Fortune favors the bald.
Deadly_Nightshade Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Oh look, Arcania has a 75% discount. Buy, buy, buy. No... Don't waste your money on that. "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
Hurlshort Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Oh look, Arcania has a 75% discount. Buy, buy, buy. No... Don't waste your money on that. Especially when Two Worlds 2 was 70% off just a couple days agao.
HoonDing Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 I bought Two Worlds 2 on release and I don't doubt it is better. But I played the demo of Arcania and it seemed pretty mediocre, but nothing too terrible. Anyone around here played the full game? The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Raithe Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Finished the first act of Secret of Monkey Island.. I can see the amusement of it..but it's not pulling me in like Fate of Atlantis did.. I'll keep going tomorrow maybe and see how it goes. Picked up AI War Fleet Command bundle in the sale.. have to figure out a time to have a poke at that.

Tale Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Oh look, Arcania has a 75% discount. Buy, buy, buy. No... Don't waste your money on that. Especially when Two Worlds 2 was 70% off just a couple days agao. I hate you. I was getting ready to settle in to Drakensang and now you guys are encouraging me to settle into Two Worlds 2. You may not be doing it intentionally, but it's happening! "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Enoch Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 So, Arkham Asylum for $7.50 today. I've heard some praise for its "sneak about and come up with clever ways to surmount obstacles" elements. What's the ratio of that to twitch-based gameplay? Other worthwhile features that bear mentioning? Or should I just buy it already?

You may not be doing it intentionally, but it's happening! If it makes you feel any better, I am totally lost on what to do after the starter island in Two Worlds 2. I keep running into stuff way above me in level.
Calax Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Is it wrong I sort of feel bad for Sir Roderick? Yes, because this is the second time you've mentioned him and I still have no clue who he is in relation to Steam. The little squirt with the hacky sacks. If you join the summer camp group they have a little letter home for each day of the sale. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Bos_hybrid Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 (edited) No. No... Don't waste your money on that. Well then, guess I'll give it a miss. Shame because the Gothic francishe was a good one. Thanks for the input. Edited July 7, 2011 by Bos_hybrid
