Deadly_Nightshade Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 @DN: Think about it, how is selling your soul to two devils any worse than selling it to one? One is worse than the other. Steam is not something I like but I will pick up some Steam-exclusive games and buy things on sale that I would not be able to find a hard-copy of and are not available on sites such as GoG. Securom's DRM, on the other hand, offers no benefits, no matter how slight, and has only negatives. "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 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Risen is one of the best RPGs of the last few years. Get it if you haven't already. I would give it a try except that it's using 3-machine limit Securom DRM in addition to Steam. If I'm already using one DRM system I don't like very much I'd rather not toss another one on top of that. How many machines are you planning on playing it on? It's only $10
Purkake Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 (edited) Anniversary is worth picking up, Legend & Underworld are painfully mediocre. Also, Audiosurf is great if you're planning on ruining your keyboard. Pros play it with a mouse, or so I hear... @DN: Yeah, I get it. I was just mocking the hardcore anti-DRM crowd Edited July 7, 2011 by Purkake
Deadly_Nightshade Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 How many machines are you planning on playing it on? Laptop, Desktop, and maybe another Laptop. Also, given my experience with trying to get my Desktop de-authorized for Crysis: Warhead, I'd not trust Securom to give activations back (making it a one-shot game). Add into that the fact that I'll likely be changing hardware -GPU-, something that triggers a 'you have a new computer' message, in the Desktop and I'm just not willing to spend money for something that I'll likely be locked out of in the future.

Bendu Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Bought Risen. Surly it's better than modding Oblivion for hours and only play some minutes in the end. Still 4 games on my list. Come on NWN2, I want you for 5 Euro...
mr insomniac Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Oh, and the "impossibly invisible" C&C4 for 4 dollars. Just noticed this. Also Red Alert 3 and C&C 3 for just a few bucks each. Tiberian Sun pretty much killed my interest in these two series, but are they worth getting? I took this job because I thought you were just a legend. Just a story. A story to scare little kids. But you're the real deal. The demon who dares to challenge God. So what the hell do you want? Don't seem to me like you're out to make this stinkin' world a better place. Why you gotta kill all my men? Why you gotta kill me? Nothing personal. It's just revenge.

Bendu Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 C&C3 is okay. Better than Tiberian Sun, not as good as the first C&C. But there are better RTS out there.
Tale Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Yeah, I just spent $25 on four games. Three of which I already owned. You want to fight about it? "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Deraldin Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 You guys suck. Tiberian Sun was great. Firestorm was even better.
mr insomniac Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the C&C replies everyone. An 8 Gb download is a bit steep for me, but I'm going to give C&C 3 a try anyway. EDIT: Okay so it's only a 5800 Mb download. Better and better. Edited July 7, 2011 by mr insomniac I took this job because I thought you were just a legend. Just a story.

Malcador Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Red Alert 3 needed more T&A, really. 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
Morgoth Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 (edited) I thought since Westwood was absorbed into the EA machinery, C&C games suddenly dropped in quality and became, well, pointless. I really used to enjoy strategy games from Pyro and Ensemble. But Ensemble is no more and Pyro is MIA. Leaves us only Blizzard. Edited July 7, 2011 by Morgoth Rain makes everything better.
Nepenthe Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Red Alert 3 needed more T&A, really. ^^ You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Lexx Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Nothing new in there for me. I've got Risen already since the release and the rest isn't worth my money. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Tale Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 I'll say this to you gents now. It's not a daily. Penny Arcade Adventures is $1.80. It is 85% off and probably won't get a daily at all. I recommend it if you like PA. http://store.steampowered.com/sub/7135/?snr=1_4_4__13 "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Purkake Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 I support the poster above me. Hilarious and with a nice Lovecraftian tilt to it.
Calax Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 WORMS! Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Tale Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 $19 for the entire Splinter Cell pack (note: Steam no longer has Pandora). That's a great deal. But I'm not willing to double dip on Splinter Cell, so I'm passing. Wasn't expecting Red Faction to hit daily, since it's so new. I'll have to check reviews. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Bendu Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Empire & Napoleon Total War GOTY for 10 Euro. Awesome deal.
GreasyDogMeat Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) Fallout 3 GOTY pack on sale for only 10 bucks. Thats what just one of the DLC used to cost. I'd like to check out the Mass Effect 2 'franchise sale' but steam is being moody. Edited July 8, 2011 by GreasyDogMeat

There's a reason why RF: Armageddon is on sale. They pretty much took everything that made RF: Guerrilla fun and made it superficial while turning the game into a generic corridor shooter where you fight aliens...
Morgoth Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 You can get Armageddon somewhere else much cheaper, legally. But it's a **** game so I wouldn't even pay for it even if it was for free. Rain makes everything better.
entrerix Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 i've now got worms. i need to see a vet. Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.
