I don't really care to get this game because it's old and the kicking gimmick sounds silly

But then I realized that's how I played through Dead Island: Riptide as the new character, so :v:

but Amazon has codes for Alien Isolation that you can use on Steam right now for $25:

Also, if you're willing to wait two days, you can also get a physical copy of Shadow of Mordor for $20 (vs. the current Steam deal price of $33.49).
Physical copies of games still have CD keys you can enter into Steam, right?

My understanding is Mordor requires Steam, so yes.

It's a feature and optional. You can also blast, stab, cut, shoot or smash your enemies. It's a cool feature though. The combat in general is pretty decent and there's a lot of variation.

So Rome II is $12 at GMG VIP. I know the game was hot garbage at release, but did it become good after a year of patching or merely less bad? I'm torn between that or The Evil Within.

It's the worst optimised game I have seen in a LONG time (largely due to having been made for a microbudget) but Ubisoft were so happy with it they pulled the dev team off the game after doing one bit of DLC (that they had pre-sold) to work on the new Heroes game.

It's pretty good now, plus there is a healthy mod community if there's something you don't like, as they usually have alternatives, but of the most part the base game is quite a lot of stuff, especially at the price now.

I've got almost 150 hours into it, most of that is the last few months, so the patches have made it fun to play.

It's really really really good, and introduces a new gameplay mechanic that'll likely be aped by every big name title going forward. Most people think it's the first next gen game that's come out.

However the open world is a bit shallow, the story is not great, and it's a bit easy.

If you can only buy 1 game a year or something, save your money for whatever you've been waiting for. If you like cool stuff though, it is the coolest of stuff that's released so far this year.

As just a fantasy FPS it was pretty average when it came out and age hasn't helped. As an rear end in a top hat physics simulator it's pretty good. So if you like the fantasy setting and/or you can make your own fun it's worth picking up. If you just are interested in playing through it's fairly meh.


^Edit Tropico 5 is definitely a fun game. I didn't get as much replayability out of it as T4 but it was worth my money. (sheesh I'm doing alot of spot reviews here)

Legend is a really awesome empire management game with a decent combat engine.

Age of Wonders 3 is a bit closer to heroes of might and magic or master of magic in that the combat is the focus of the game with empire building and diplomacy bring lighter.

They're both excellent games but they have different focuses. If you love tactical combat in your 4x with a bigger focus on adventuring with your merry bands of heroes and their followers you'd love AoW 3.

However if you want something that leans more towards the Civ side of 4x games with a broader focus you'll probably prefer Endless Legend.

DoctorOfLawls posted:

It's definitely not terrible. It's a bigger jump than 3 to 4 was and cut some features in favor of introducing others (for instance your leader only has one trsit now.)

I own both, they are both great for entirely different reasons. The AoW3 devs have a guy on the thread here on SA, so communication gets to be more direct at times when it comes to questions or suggestions.

I like fantasy settings. I'm also the kind of guy who plays DX:HR and drops refrigerators on people for funsies when it tells me to murder a guy and make it look like an accident so I think this game and I could get along.

Why have 48 hours deals if you're not going to advertise them at all the next day? Why have both 24 hours deal and 48 hour deals in the first place? Just seems like someone dropped the ball and rushed this sale interface out the door at the last minute. :shrug:

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
So, my new GTX 970 arrived and it's running pretty pretty well. I've tested it on FC4 with max settings and it looks nice.

I was wondering if there was anything else out recently that i could test it on to really see what it can do?

I have shadows of Mordor but that looked pretty damned good on lower cards and i heard that beefier cards didn't really make that much of a difference to it.

Iv'e got the new CoD game i could try it on but i'm wondering if there's a Crysis equivalent recently that would be a good test.
