    These sales go exactly against how I usually but games. I wait a day and see if I still want it, usually the answer is no and I save some money

    Got some Shogun DLC and Sins of he solar empire rebellion.



    I think he means feature wise.
    Ahh sorry. It's got everything from the previous series I believe.
    Is it good single player wise?

    Only played Trinity. Thinking of getting Rebellion. Trinity is absolutely brilliant imo If you like 4X strategy games, rts, or just strategy games in general you should give it a go. The pace is slower than games like Command and Conquer or World in Conflict but the sheer size of the solar systems means that's actually a good thing. Don't go thinking the game is slowly paced either. It can get very tense. Games can last an incredibly long time because you get to conquer entire solar systems. But the best bit, for me anyway, is bombarding the sh*t out of planets! There's something really sadistically satisfying about watching your fleet bombard the helpless planet. :D

    Biggest downside is when it's obivous you've won the computer won't give in. Oh and that you'll very often feel ashamed to find out it's daylight outside again. Where did the night go?:o

    It can be fun, you want to turn up the difficulty and speed though, otherwise anything but the smallest maps can take forever.

    I want Reus and Dust. I'm humming and hawing over Wargame, it does look like something I'd put some hours into. Dishonoured is tempting but I don't normally play games like this so I'll probably skip.

    Finger what are you doing. Finger. Stop.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,472 ✭✭✭Niska


    Dishonored joins BL2 as my planned purchases.

    Unplanned:
    Reus
    To the Moon
    RPG Maker


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,574 ✭✭✭ahnowbrowncow


    Commandoes 2 is only 99c. Great game, has aged very well, I'm hooked.

    Anyone who would like a tactical, action, stealth game should definitely check it out. It can be quite challenging, not unfairly though, so it's not for the faint hearted.

    Just thought I'd let people know about this classic seeing as it's so cheap.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,534 ✭✭✭WarZoneBrother


    Finally Visa/Debit card worked without having to use paypal... Randomly bought MC Pixel for 79cent as it is just about how much I have left in the card ha :p Plus I want to get these trading cards now lol...

    Theres random cards for Summer Getaway Sale AFAIK.. I got Bioshock Infinite and now the Dead Island Riptide cards... When playing the games the cards you get are the ones from the actual game...

    I could be wrong though :rolleyes:

    This MC Pixel game is actually good fun for 79cent

    I've only played 2 but judging from reviews the others are good too so it's a bargain for €3.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,446 ✭✭✭Corvo Attano


    Brave New World is 11 euro on g2play if you can use a VPN


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,923 ✭✭✭kearneybobs


    Just bought Fallout:New Vegas for the second time. I bought the original game when it came out and bought the ultimate edition there just so I can get all the DLC for the discounted price.


  • Registered Users Posts: 955 ✭✭✭Mister Man


    Just picked up Castle Crashers & Killing Floor. Played Castle Crashers as a xbla trial and enjoyed it. Killing Floor just looks like a bit of fun

    Screw you - have to buy it now. :mad:

    Eador is pretty good too :D

    I can't for the life of me understand why people are buying these cards. I just sold 5 of them for 12 cents each. I mean, it's 60 cents which is piddly money but it's money for nothing. It meant I could get Reus for 4.40 instead of a fiver.

    The mind boggles. :P

    This is my first Steam sale that I've actually been downloading stuff, and I've been with it since day 1. I'd have to say it seems to be every day so far. Unless you mean an indie day where all there is is indie stuff and nothing else. There has been lots of indie stuff every day so far.
