Fenixp Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Problem with FTL's approach isn't that you rarely win, that's perfectly fine in a rogue-like-lite-like-liek-kek. Problem with FTL is that it's reasonably easy unless RNG screws you over big time and then it suddenly gets super-hard during the boss fight. I'd estimate that good 50% of my FTL playthroughs ended at the final boss fight (a bit less when I was messing around as opposed to being efficient), which is kinda the problem - I'd like to lose because the difficulty would ramp up progressively until I hit the final boss fight which would lead to a lot more even distribution of losses as opposed to the game going "Lol, you got this far, die now." 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenixp Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 So, is complete version of Beyond Earth worth 15 bucks? I'm not asking if it's great, I know it probably ain't, more if I can get a decent amount of fun out of it (as if I need more games in my backlog...)

ShadySands Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I'd say no but I preordered both the base game and the xpac ...and the little starship game too If you really love Civ then maybe Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calax Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I totally post here all the time! EA is having a pretty bloody impressive sale going on. Dragon Age Inq for 10 bucks, and 50% off most of it's good first party titles (Titanfall 2 and BF1 for example) 1 Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

melkathi Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 I'm just excited that we may actually get this thread to a length where it will get locked and have a sequel Back on topic, yeah, EA does those every now and then. But with the steam monopoly I think a lot of people don't notice. Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

sorophx Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 as luck would have it, the only game I actually wanted to buy (Medal of Honor: Warfighter) wasn't included in this sale well, I did get that Amalur game I've been wanting to play for a long time.

melkathi Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Amalur has its ups and downs. Overall I had fun with it though. 3 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaeliorin Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Origin has a decent sale...but it would still cost me $40 for the 3 story DLC for ME3 that I don't own (Leviathan, Omega and Citadel.) At this point I doubt I'll ever play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithe Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Origin has a decent sale...but it would still cost me $40 for the 3 story DLC for ME3 that I don't own (Leviathan, Omega and Citadel.) At this point I doubt I'll ever play them. Depending on just how much cheese and fan-wankery you like, Citadel is really entertaining. A lot of it is done tongue-in-cheek with nods to classic pulp sci-fi space opera elements, plust the sheer fact of getting all of the surviving companions from all games together and hearing the banter back and forth can be quite amusing. I'd say that's actually justified at the normal price alone. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithe Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 One other small bit to point out, although it probably won't count as a random sale per se, but Origin Access does give you a bunch of games free (while you're paying for Access). Depending on how much gaming you can work in around the rest of life for that month you might be able to complete a couple of the games on offer. Things like Star Wars Battlefront, Mirror's Edge Catalyst, ME3 Digital Deluxe, Plants vs Zombies 2, Need for Speed, DA Inquisition Deluxe, Crysis 3 Deluxe, etc. I mean, sure, you lose access to them if you don't renew Origin Access, but it might be worthwhile for playing around with them especially if they're the type you'd enjoy to play, finish, and then unlikely to play again.

Fenixp Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 And the last month, EA added an option to subscribe to access for a year for like 20 euro or so. Whether that's worth it depends on your interest in games accessible via access, but I've had my share of fun with it already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorophx Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 GOG is having a massive sale, and I took a look at what's discounted. didn't even realize they had SWAT 3 and XCom Apocalypse, grabbed them instantly. now I can finally throw away my old discs with these games, that wouldn't work properly on Win 7. thanks, GOG ;D Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland.

melkathi Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) I was going to mention the GOG sale as well. Some interesting stuff there I do want. I bought the Gobliiins bundle, Nexus The Jupiter Incident, Nox, Aquaria, Techno Babylon, Shivah. I also got the Starcontrol games, even though I am aware of the free project. But I figured that at this huge a discount, I might as well pay for the certainty that I will have the complete games, and not a possibly incomplete free version, for which development and support depends on the spare time of people.

Blodhemn Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Any games with good writing/dialogue/escapism to recommend on the GOG sale? I just paid $4.99 solely for the manual of Bloodlines since the Steam version annoys me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melkathi Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Hmmm, hard to say. From those I have actually played, I enjoyed Dex - the writing isn't super amazing, and the combat can be annoying, but I did enjoy the cyberpunkiness of the cyberpunk setting/story and remember my playthrough fondly.
