TheMightyEthan Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Strike Suit Infinity has a 66 on Metacritic (yeah, yeah, I know), and Strike Suit Zero has a 65. So general consensus doesn't seem to be that either one is better than the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturnine Tenshi Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) I've enjoyed what I played of the game. Do you want a polished action-style space shooter that transitions (in hops and skips) to mech suit and back? Then get it. Also it has a theme song by fucking Kokia.

CorgiShinobi Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 I got Strike Suit Zero as well, and the negatives I've heard about is that the campaign/story is terrible. I haven't played it, but it seems that the main draw to the game is playing in space as a ship capable of transforming into a mech. That's worth a few bucks, but at the same time I didn't go all out and get the Mega Bundle. I like to try out a game before I throw money at the whole gamut of franchise add-ons.

toxicitizen Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) Don't know if it's a pricing error but it's 96% off. Cost me 27 cents. edit: It's the Encore day and it's still not showing up so I went for the GMG deal. With their discount and my store credit, it ended up costing me 89 cents.

Luftwaffles Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 From the Steam Sale: Gifted or traded via 4-packs: From what I've played so far, they're all pretty good. Especially Euro Truck Simulator 2, oddly enough, but I sort of hate fun, so take that with a grain of salt. Even Nazi Zambies is fun in bro-op.

toxicitizen Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) This bundle is quite a steal, only $2.50 more than either games individually. Still, I was holding off on buying it, hoping it would get a daily or flash deal. It did not. So instead, I made my own damn flash sale. Sold most of my cards, made 12$ and ended up only paying 50 cents for it. And that should be my last purchase as I'm pretty much broke and out of cards at this point. I'm pretty happy with the sale, overall. The big deals weren't the best so that it made it quite easy to ignore them. Plus, I got pretty much everything that was on my shopping list. Let's recap! Stuff I was actually planning on getting: Walking Dead: 400 Days Don't Starve Dust: An Elysian Tail Gunpoint Anodyne Joe Danger Bundle Impulse purchases: Poker Night 2 Reus Surgeon Simulator Strike Suit Zero Just Cause So, excluding the credit I generated from selling stuff on the marketplace, I only spent $42.93 Pretty sure that's the least I ever spent during a Steam sale. edit: Every. Fucking. Time. I'll say I'm done and then inevitably end up getting something else. Oh well... It was already 4AM so I figured I'd stay up another hour to catch the last round of flash sales at 5AM. Retro City Rampage finally did get that 80% discount. That should be the end of it now. I'm off to bed. Edited July 22, 2013 by FLD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH! Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Borderlands 2 with the mechromancer DLC, Tiny Tina DLC and the Captain Scarlet DLC. I budgeted $20 for BL2 + DLC, and that's what I paid. Also Monaco. Missed Blood Dragon, but I'm not sweatin' it. I also preordered Shadowrun Returns, since I missed the Kickstarter campaign.

Mister Jack Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Well the steam sale is over. How'd I do? Let's see... Borderlands 2 season pass and psycho DLC Chivalry Thomas Was Alone Castle Crashers and DLC Mark of the Ninja Alan Wake Bully: Scholarship Edition Monaco Rogue Legacy I also bought a couple of gifts for people. Holy shit. You got me again, steam! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielpholt Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 (does that link work?) Bioshock and Rogue were picked up outside of Steam, but i figure as they were offered for roughly the same price during the SSS i'd include them in this list. All in all i'm pretty pleased with that. The top two games are probably, in hindsight a mistake but whatever; its only £5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorgiShinobi Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 I'll just list off my games I got from Steam during the Summer Sale. (Not exactly sure how you get the nice thumbnails.) Rogue Legacy Remember Me Mark of the Ninja Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition Bastion + Soundtrack Strike Suit Zero Just Cause 2 Dragon's Lair Sanctum 2 All for a grand total of $75.41, so a little over the standard price of a new game. I got Dragon's Lair, though it wasn't my Community Choice, because it dawned on me that the other platform I have the game for is the App Store. I was tempted to get Scibblenauts Unlimited, but if I ever do get a Wii U, I'd like it for that platform. Otherwise, I'm a little underwhelmed at some of the picks for Summer Deals. I have a feeling that some games were only popular picks because they were repeatedly offered ever other day. Maybe not at the same discount, but still deeply discounted. Not truly a complaint, but a longing for more variety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) I think this is all of it: Reus (Humble Store) Proteus (Humble Store) Gunpoint (Humble Store) Batman: Arkham City GOTY Been There, Dan That/Time Gentleman, Please! Chivalry: Medieval Warfare Dishonored Fallout: New Vegas gold (upgraded) Just Cause Mark of the Ninja Natural Selection 2 No Time to Explain RAGE Risen Surgeon Simulator 2013 Tomb Raider: Anniversary For the winter sale I'm looking for Metro: Last Light, Tomb Raider, and Far Cry 3. I've gotten a lot of the games I've been meaning to get and most of the indie games I've wanted so knowing what games are coming out between now and then I should spend less money next time but much more per average as I'm not expecting Metro to be below $12 and TR/FC3 to be under $7.50 if these games even get that low.

Mal Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 This is actually Ys I and II. With that, I own the prequel (Origin) and the next game chronologically (Oath in Felghana). The only other English release I know of is Ark of Napishtim which is three games ahead of Oath, story wise. It is suffering to be a(n?) Ys fan.
