Pretty much this. Of course, I found a shitload more stuff to buy once I started digging into the indie side of gaming, but that was significantly less expensive. Oh and forgot to post but I took a gamble and pre-ordered the next Indie Royale, the Really Big Bundle, a few days ago. So, uh...

Well, today has brought the last deal I was hoping for! My Civ V experience is now complete! Only thing I don't have is those cradle of civilization maps, but I don't really see the need to get them. A bit disappointed that The Witcher 2 is only 40% off. Was hoping to see it go down to 10$, but eh, I wouldn't have played it right away anyway, so it's no big deal, really.

Wow, that stopped the thread dead, uh? Anyway... Been a while since I watched a tech demo for an upcoming game and thought "Woah, that's pretty sweet!". Granted, devs don't seem to make these too often. But still, this is looking pretty good.

Wait, you actually liked Sucker Punch? I... I thought I was the only one!

Also the Explosive Mission pack and Tactical Enhancement pack, because shit, 2,50$ for both so why the fuck not. What's weird is The Missing Link doesn't work like normal DLC. Instead of having the main game download additional files, it has its own listing in my steam library. Human Revolution isn't even installed at the moment, but I'm downloading Missing Link and it's about 2 GBs. So it's like.... a separate game? Does it work that way on consoles as well? If so, then someone needs to explain to Eidos Montreal how this DLC thing normally works...

I'd already grabbed the Courier's Stash and Gunrunner's Arsenal pack yesterday, but figured I'd wait for this, just in case. Glad I did. I only saved 2,50$ but I'd have kicked myself if I'd paid 5$ for it yesterday only for it to get an even better discount today. Also I often heard that it was pretty good and have been wanting to try it for a while now. At first I didn't think there was much I would want to buy this time, but in the end I still managed to find some stuff I might grab Shogun 2 for 15$ is mighty tempting, but I'll wait for now in case it ends up being a daily deal.

Hahahahahaa, that's just awesome. Hopefully my bluray has it so I can watch the whole thing.

Today I realized something that was either brilliant or complete cheating. When you buy training, the gold doesn't just "disappear", it goes in the trainer's inventory, which... yeah, you can pickpocket back. So after many failed attemps at looting 1500 from the skyforge guy, I decided I needed to become a better thief. So I just wandered around town, robbing everyone I could. That was too slow, so I headed to Windhelm where a beggar woman can train you in pickpocketing. Then I thought, if I buy all 5 ranks in one shot, I certainly won't be able to steal back all that gold. So I did the most abusive thing possible: buy a single rank, steal back the gold, repeat for as long as possible. I actually gained the rank I bought and a second one for stealing back the gold each time I leveled up twice in less than ten minutes lol The last rank cost me about 1600 gold which I couldn't steal it back, but what the hell, she deserves at least that much.

Those aren't games!!

Had a quick look around and nothing really strikes me as must-buy for now. Though that might be because aside for expensive new releases, I already own most of what interests me in the steam catalog. Which is kinda scary considering I haven't yet played most of them O_O Only things I'm thinking of getting at the moment are the DLC I'm missing for New Vegas and Civ V.

Yeah, it seems like a weird fit. But they did open a new studio/create a new team for it. Perhaps they're trying to expand the BioWare "brand" to other genres. I'm not convinced either way, but having just looked at the little glimpse of footage in that spike promo, it seems like a possibility.

IGN are speculating that the game is a new Command and Conquer title. http://games.ign.com/articles/121/1213223p1.html

50% off for PS+ subscribers.

Hadn't realized it was against forum rules. Wouldn't have done it otherwise.

And even then I'd say they're not even part of the bundle proper, merely additional incentives. There's really not much value in either. Besides, I was just trying to be helpful but eh, whatever.

Well at the time I didn't know whether or not you had downloaded them. But I don't see what the big deal is, though. They're tech demos... not products that would be normally sold. I mean, I would not have uploaded the games themselves if it had been possible.

pfff, don't thank me or anything! let me know if you get it or won't, though I wasn't planning on leaving the links up forever nvm, just saw you removed the links..

Prototypes are direct downloads. I can grab them and megaupload them for you if you want.

I completed Homefront in slightly less than 4 hours. Yeah...well...your mum! Wasn't there also an old video of someone completing Morrowind in like..15 minutes, or something?

*ignores imminent shitstorm argument* ... Modern Warfare 3 I actually tried starting it last week and the very first mission gave me this overwhelming feeling of "Ugh, I played this fucking game multiple times before!!" and promptly quit. Then yesterday I didn't feel like playing Skyrim, so I fired it up to give it another shot. This time I somehow managed to get into it a bit more and finished the first mission. I kept playing and about five missions in something unexpected happened: I realized I was having a blast. Maybe my expectations were simply too low because of Modern Warfare 2, but I think the game is a shitload of fun. They really cranked up the "crazy thrill ride" factor, and that's what I like most about the series. It seemed like every other mission made me giggle and grin like an idiot because of how ridiculously insane, over-the-top and downright fucking badass it all was. It probably also helped that they replaced the "regular soldier" part of the campaign with a fucking Delta Force squad. I'm easy to please when it comes to this: put me in the role of a special ops guy and make me go through missions that make me feel like a complete badass and I'll have fun simply getting into character. ...unless the game is too easy and kinda boring... *cough* Medal of Honor *cough* It's by no means a perfect game nor does it breathe new life into the series. It's not as good as COD4 (which I don't think the series is ever going to top anyway) and they break new ground in the art of having a ridiculously short campaign (main menu says I completed it in 5h12mins! ). But it's nowhere near as stupid as MW2 and I thought it was a lot of fun. Really glad I didn't buy it, though. I'm probably the last person on earth who still plays COD for the single-player, so with no interest in MP, there's really no way to justify paying 60 bucks for this. Only way I'll be buying this is the same way I bought MW2: two years later, for 15 bucks on Steam. And now, just because holy shit Oh, and the Dualshock is the best controller, period.

Already own Crayon Physics and Uplink, but I grabbed it anyway for Defcon and Darwinia/Multiwinia. A while back, I kept hearing about how great Darwinia is supposed to be. Also, I've been a fan of Introversion for years. Played Uplink to death on my old PC.

Yeah, I'm planning on replaying MGS 1 soon as well, before I grab the HD Collection. I really don't see why you wouldn't play through a PS1 game... There is more to games than graphics, you know.

Actually, if I remember correctly, it was much more complex than that. Something like a joystick click would not be sufficient. I guess a trigger might work if it's pressure sensitive, though. If I remember correclty, holding the button VERY lightly would do one thing, holding it hard would do another, a simple press and release would do something else. It was mostly for CQC, I think. It took me a while before I realized it and finally understood how to do specific moves.

The conversation where I.. *fades away*
