wo.


I feel like I need to buy the Overlord complete pack for 5 dollars.

[Teleku]

Haha, I love the how they are advertising this sale.

Hmm, I'm eying that THQ pack, I own too much from most of the other packs.

Anybody know if any of the other games made by 1C are any good?  I've only played the 2 Kings Bounty games (which I really liked).

[Malakili]

The THQ pack is nuts, unfortunately I own a lot of it already, or I'd be even more tempted. 

I think i'll finally get Trine for 4 bucks though.

[Ard]

My god, I still haven't recovered from Christmas, and there's a ton of stuff in the $2-5 range in the normal sales that I'd actually buy.  This kinda terrifies me.

[Segoris]

Anybody know if any of the other games made by 1C are any good?  I've only played the 2 Kings Bounty games (which I really liked).

I have no idea, but when King's Bounty gold pack is $10 and the entire 1c pack is $20, I have no problem gambling $10. I can't imagine not getting $10 worth of fun out of so many unknown games where some look like they could be fun.

[sickrubik]

 

[Inactiviste]

I'm tempted by the 1C pack... The Star Wolves are supposed to be pretty interesting, and Space Rangers 2 is Katauri's (of King's Bounty Fame) previous game. The rest looks like russian shovelware, but who knows... I guess I have time to think about it.

I've gathered a few Steam games I haven't played at all (Ghost Master, Evil Genius, Most of the Aliens / Zombie shooters, the Overlords...) and some of them weren't even part of packs, so I try to refrain myself, but I always end up buying more and more !

[Ingmar]

I've heard good things about the Space Rangers games, but it doesn't look to me like they are actually in the collection?

[Inactiviste]

I've heard good things about the Space Rangers games, but it doesn't look to me like they are actually in the collection?

It's kinda weird, I don't see the 1C collection as a deal anymore, it's back to like 70 euros...Most of the individual games are still 75 % tough...

[Lounge]

The Witcher is $6.79 on the sale and doesnt appear to be highlighted anywhere.
Picked it up along with the Overlord pack for $11.29.

[Teleku]

Hmm, I just read the description for Space Rangers 2:

Future. We write the year 3300. Our galaxy is invaded by dominators, the combat robots that lost control under influence of Klissan technologies. A coalition of five allied races: Maloqs, Pelengs, Humans, Faeyans and Gaalians stakes on space rangers called up to root out dominators.

With a pitch like that, it must be good!   

[Musashi]

Eek.  I'm fucked.

[Ard]

Puzzle Kingdoms is $1.  It's the ugly stepbrother of puzzle quest (literally, some of the devs had a hand in it), that got no press at all.  I paid much more than that for the DS version of it, and I felt that was money well spent.  It's a good, but slightly ugly game, and I'm pretty sure there's a demo out there somewhere for it, although maybe not on steam, but at $1, does that even matter?

edit:  space rangers 2 is totally worth the pittance they want for it.  It's a space sandbox game sorta in the vein of star control 2/starflight.
edit edit:  wow, the steam page for it has the worst description + screenshots ever.  There are only shots of the ground battle portions of the game, which are the worst part to begin with.   Go look at the ones for space rangers 1 instead, since that's closer to reality.

[Mosesandstick]

Any thoughts on the indie games? (P.S. Damn you Steam)

[Minvaren]

Hmmmm, $15 for Bioshock 2...

[Morfiend]

I'm grabbing Bioshock 2 for sure, probably Trine and maybe Gothic 3, and possibly the Guild Wars stuff.

[Malakili]

I ended up buying Street Fighter 4 of all things.  That Marvel v Capcom 3 thread had me all in the mood for a fighting game and I was thinking..oh I'll wait til it goes on sale.  It wasn't a huge sale, but good enough (33% off I think) since I was already thinking about it.

[Draegan]

Where are you seeing all these sales?  Is there a page with all of them on it?

It just loaded for me.  Strange. 

[Simond]

Other games/collections to consider: Sword of the Stars Complete Collection, Introversion Complete Pack.

[Draegan]

Wow they are selling Commander Keen.  Wheeeeee. 

[Draegan]

Damn this thread.  I just bought:

Tropico 3
Space Rangers Pack
The Witcher
Trine
Overlord Pack

Not bad for 30 bucks.  Tropico 3 was the most expensive at 10 bucks since I missed the last sale.

[Nonentity]

Other games/collections to consider: Sword of the Stars Complete Collection, Introversion Complete Pack.

5 bucks for Darwinia + Multiwinia, Defcon, and motherfuckin' UPLINK.

Uplink is worth it alone for five bucks.

[Thrawn]

I think my wallet is cowering in the corner somewhere afraid of the week to come....

[dusematic]

Thanks for the heads up on Puzzle Kingdoms.  Snagged that and the Overlord complete pack.  I wonder if I'll like Overlord.

[Ard]

Here's another one that's retardedly cheap during the sale.

Ghost Master, $.95
http://store.steampowered.com/app/6200/

Sorta of budget sim-ghost game, far as I can tell.  I haven't played it, took a quick peek at reviews, it appeared to be doing okay, and bought it before someone raised the price back up or it sold out because it's stupidly cheap.  I can't personally vouch for this one though, yet.

[Teleku]

My....my wallet...

ARG

So much to buy.  Though I'm getting annoyed when I click on the "save 50% on all xxx company titles here" button, scroll down the list, see a game I'm interested in, only to find it is not getting a discount for some reason.   

Quick, Lum (or somebody else who might know), is Arsenal of Democracy any good?  I loved HOI2.

[Draegan]

Can you assholes stop pointing out things to buy.

Puzzle Kingdom
Ghost Master
Introversion Pack

For the price of $6!

edit:
Sega Genesis Pack seems overpriced at $35.00

[caladein]

Trine at $4 and The Witcher at $6.79

GO!  NOW!

[Samwise]

Is it the European version or the censored American version?

[Nightblade]

Lead and Gold is on sale half price now too for 7.49. It apparently just got dedicated server support. Worth it?

[Ard]

Is it the European version or the censored American version?

You know, I was going to be a dick and say "Do you really need to ask", but then I went digging.  There's a director's cut update for free that un-censor's it on Steam.  The base game however is the censored US enhanced edition.

[Hoax]

Is there a reason not to get the Overlord pack? Fuck you Steam.

[Sky]

I'm getting Steamjaded. A few things are tempting, but nothing made me pull the trigger.

Anno 1404 Gold, as I never got the expansion...but $20 is the expansion price anyway. The THQ pack is nice, but I own a lot of it and RTS isn't my favorite (can you pause and give orders in CoH and DoW?). Several things were $5-10 off tempting, like Bioshock 2. Looking forward to the dailies, I guess.

I did pull Indigo Prophecy off my wishlist.

maybe Gothic 3

If you haven't played Gothic 2 Gold, it's by far the better game.

[Wasted]
