Apatia Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Option #1 has 2/4 games in early access while apparently option #2 has none. I've only played Goodbye Deponia from option #2 but I know something about Secret Files (I believe that game is the third one in the series) and The Last Door has come up when I've had discussions about good new point 'n click adventure games. No clue about Stranded. 1
mkreku Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 I bought Delver (very early), completed it in 82 minutes and haven't touched it since. Maybe I should check it out again..? Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Katphood Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) I bought Delver (very early), completed it in 82 minutes and haven't touched it since. Maybe I should check it out again..? The game was getting some sort of update this morning when I launched steam. Might be worth checking out. Haven't played it lately. Edited June 25, 2014 by Cat Food There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.
Barothmuk Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Dragon Age: Origins is 125% off. So I guess you get money for downloading it?
TSBasilisk Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 If the dollar amount is negative, the purchase won't process.
Calax Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 If you go to the store page it's only 75%. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Bryy Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Should I get Banner Saga? It's on daily deal. Yes. It's the first Kickstarter game that actually gave me hope for non-established company Kickstarters.
Barothmuk Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 If you go to the store page it's only 75%. Must have fixed it. Friend of mine snapped a picture:
TSBasilisk Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 It's not the first time they've glitched something like that. A few months back it was Aliens: Colonial Marines for something like -$10. The general consensus was it still wasn't worth it. 6
mkreku Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 They sometimes accidentally turn the percentages the wrong way around on Aliexpress.com. I was snooping around there when this $2000 quad-copter came on sale at a 85% rebate. I thought it was pretty cool, but it was still a lot of money so I decided to sleep on it (I was browsing in the middle of the night). In the morning, when I woke up, it was set at 15%. The seller actually honored the 85% deal for some lucky dude in Holland. (The quad-copter was made from carbon fibre, was really big, had built-in GPS functions that automatically landed itself in the very same spot it was launched from if the battery started dying, it had super precise controls, could stream its HD-camera 300 m, the battery lasted for up to 30 minutes at a time, etc.) I think it was this one: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2014-hot-selling-DJI-Phantom-2-Vision-GPS-RC-Quadcopter-5-8G-Radio-FPV-Camera-and/1821933512.html Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Labadal Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Should I get Banner Saga? It's on daily deal. I recommend it. SRPG battles with choose-your-own-adventure sections while not fighting.
Humanoid Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 I didn't end up playing it through because the very gamey combat system put me off (lower each enemy's HP but avoid killing them). But I like the concept and haven't ruled out going back to it sometime. The other reservation I guess is that you could probably nab it DRM-free for the same price by waiting a little, if you care about that sort of thing. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G
Gorgon Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 I looked at some gameplay footage of Original Sin and I gotta say 2d isometric looks so much better. This looks more like, i dunno, Torchlight. Character creation looked pretty awful. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Starwars Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 I'd advise everyone to check out this goddamn bundle: http://www.bundlestars.com/all-bundles/aftershock-bundle/ Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
Oerwinde Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Grabbed Assassins Creed 2, Brotherhood, and 3. 25 bucks with all the DLC, will be nice for when I get my Steam Machine too. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
Labadal Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Grabbed Assassins Creed 2, Brotherhood, and 3. 25 bucks with all the DLC, will be nice for when I get my Steam Machine too. AC3? My condolences.
Keyrock Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Come on, GabeN, gimme Deadfall Adventures at 75% off already. I've already seen some other games on special 2 or 3 times. I want to give you money, GabeN. Why don't you want me to give you money? RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks

My condolences. got it for the DLC. I'm an Alternate History buff. I liked 2. I will probably enjoy Brotherhood once I start it. Heck, I even found some enjoyment in playing the first game. I had to stop playing the third game when I reached chapter 10. The game no longer held my interest. It was good at times, but I much prefer the games released before it.
Barothmuk Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 AssCreed's setting is little more than the delusional ramblings of a conspiracy nut. See their take on WWII (AN ORGANISED PLOT BETWEEN CHURCHILL, STALIN AND HITLER TO CREATE A NEW WORLD ORDER!!!!1Q)
marelooke Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 I looked at some gameplay footage of Original Sin and I gotta say 2d isometric looks so much better. This looks more like, i dunno, Torchlight. I think that's mostly due to the colour scheme used. I probably would have preferred a darker setting (which would instantly have made it look more like 2D isometric game I guess. That said, creating simple tooling for a 2D isometric RPG seems rather hard, especially given the amount of reactivity the world has. Character creation looked pretty awful. It's decent in the latest build, though the UI certainly could be simplified (I'm still missing a "custom" option instead of having to start from some preset, for example). But UI design in general doesn't seem Larian's strong point (then again, it doesn't seem to be a strong point of many [game] developers. On top of that it appears it is generally treated as an afterthought as well.). That said, the UI is better than I feared given the earlier betas and seems certainly usable.
Blarghagh Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 I wish the sale was over. I already bought 12 games and gifted another 4. My wallet needs to recover. 2
Guest Slinky Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 I wish the sale was over. I already bought 12 games and gifted another 4. My wallet needs to recover. Haha, and here I was thinking "what a crappy summer sale it's been". I haven't bought a single thing yet. But since they have been putting early access games on sale, I just might cave in if Grim Dawn gets a sale. Been in a mood for spanking action RPG for a while now and GD looks just what I'm looking for.
Malcador Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Got Civ V BNW just for completeness of sorts. Not much enticing on this sale, 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
