babaganoosh13 Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Skyrim Legendary Edition w/ all the DLC for PC/Steam is on for $45 via Stack Social. They have some system there where if you log in and refer people, you get $10 each, which I assume can be used to purchase other bundles and stuff there. 1 You see, ever since the whole Doritos Locos Tacos thing, Taco Bell thinks they can do whatever they want.
Oerwinde Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Damn you Steam. I had Colonization in my wishlist and it was on for $5, but when clicking on it it gave me the option to throw Civ IV, with both expansions on for an extra $2.50, which I already own. I spent the extra 2.50 I might as well get effing Conquistador while I'm spending all my money... 1 The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

melkathi Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Does anyone collect Steam Collectible Trading Cards? I got a spare Wolfgang (Don't Starve) and Royal Summons (Faery Solitaire) to trade Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).
Raithe Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Hm, the Europa Universalis III Chronicles are on the weekend deal at half price. Hm, tempting. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
melkathi Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Hm, the Europa Universalis III Chronicles are on the weekend deal at half price. Hm, tempting. It's a paradox deal until the 24th. So wait just before the weekend ends to see if it goes cheaper Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).
SadExchange Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 I wanted to chime in with a couple things. If anyone wants a DOTA 2 before it goes live, I think I still have about 4-5 gift passes. Also, wanted to ask about Crusader Kings II. I see a lot of people here play it. Does it have campaigns or mostly sandbox modes?
ShadySands Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 It's a sandbox but there are different start dates which change things up and a lot of mods and user made scenarios out there Free games updated 3/4/21
Keyrock Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) I wanted to chime in with a couple things. If anyone wants a DOTA 2 before it goes live, I think I still have about 4-5 gift passes. Also, wanted to ask about Crusader Kings II. I see a lot of people here play it. Does it have campaigns or mostly sandbox modes? You start in the year 1066 or a date of your choosing thereafter (you can start earlier with The Old Gods DLC). At the moment you start the game is, for the most part, historically accurate. Once you start all bets are off and you make your own alternate timeline. There is no "campaign". You start as a king or duke or duchess or count or whatever somewhere. The game lasts for some 400 years (or less if you die and have no legitimate heir). You play as a family, a dynasty. The goal is to amass as much power as possible and hold on to it within your family.

If you want to start a game as the Duke of Iceland with your goal of becoming Chancellor to the King of Hungary, you can give that a try.

Maedhros Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Thanks to Bester I tried DOTA2 out but it really wasn't for me. There's very little to do, which is what happens when you cut Warcraft III down to a single hero unit, and the game relies on a lot of memorisation of effective combinations. I imagine its very time consuming to be good at the game, but its just not all that much fun to play. Not sure what you mean by there not being a lot to do? Dota can be a very hectic game, you're always supposed to do something. The charm of it is the endless potential of how good you can play as a team. Playing it alone, with random internet strangers isn't very fun. Considering buying Europa Universalis III, but I'm still having so much fun with Crusader Kings II. How does it compare to it?
Oerwinde Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 EU3 is a little simpler than CK2, but much grander in scale. The version on steam includes all the expansions so its a much deeper game than when it was first released though. Eu3 is often recommended to people just starting with Paradox strategy games. That doesn't mean its easy though. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
Tale Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Midweek Madness ends 6 hours earlier than usual this week. A good indicator that the summer sale will start on Thursday. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Keyrock Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Midweek Madness ends 6 hours earlier than usual this week. A good indicator that the summer sale will start on Thursday. The one title I'm most hoping goes on a nice steep sale is La Mulana. I'll probably snag Of Orcs and Men if it's cheap enough too. Tomb Raider is probably too new to get a really steep discount but if it does... Hopefully I don't get sucked into buying TOO MUCH other stuff... Who am I kidding? All my moneys are belong to GabeN.

mkreku Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Half-Life 2 75% off.. Yeah, that's exactly how good the last few sales have been for me. Put that price on Skyrim: Legendary Edition and I'm game. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Humanoid Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 On the one hand, the client downloading itself a relatively big update is a good sign about the sale. On the other hand, I don't like how the client is updating itself even when in offline mode, seems a bit dodgy (and it didn't do always do this in the past). L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G
ManifestedISO Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Tomb Raider is probably too new to get a really steep discount but if it does... $17.49 on Amazon for the next three days, if you're a Yankee. I assume it's for a Steam download. All Stop. On Screen.
LadyCrimson Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 I've spent entirely too much on gaming since Sept. of last year. I think I won't even look at the sale, this time. 1 “Things are as they are.
