Buy Watch Dogs for $20 or less. It's worth it.

AfricanBootyShine posted:If I loved Shining Force, FFT, and Tactics Ogre, is the Banner Saga worth buying for 5bux? I know it's got the issues, but if the combat system is deep and fun, I'd be fine. I found Banner Saga to be pretty great, but it forces you to unlearn some habits from other SRPGs. Still worth $5 without a doubt.

I'm a sucker for open world games, and I have a tolerance for most mediocre games as long as combat and/or movement is fun or tolerable. Snatching Watch_Dogs for under 20 is really tempting. I was desperate to give that game a go for a long time, but from all the negative reviews I wanted to wait for it to get cheap. I ended snagging it for around $30 from G2A a little while ago and... everything people say is bad about, it's all true. I wanted so bad for it to be the game I thought it was but eh... it's just bland. It squanders all its potential. It'll be fun for a few hours but I highly doubt it will leave you with the desire to see it through. I still kind of regret getting it but I feel better knowing it's not very good I suppose. e: Like people bitch about GTAIV being tone deaf, this game is loving tone deaf. One of the mission types is to prevent people from committing a sort of crime, and ultimately you end up crashing 50 loving cars and running over tons of civilians along the way, but so long as you stop the criminal you get good guy points. Also you can drive around hacking poo poo and running people over and stealing people's money, but whenever you get back to a mission plot-line your guy is all PTSD. Just very bland and... they picked the wrong protagonist for this sort of game. Good Soldier Svejk fucked around with this message at 00:22 on Nov 29, 2014 |

Ghostlight posted:The multiplayer hacking was really fun but I don't know if it would still be actively populated by now. I started it up again because I wanted to actually finish the story finally ( I uh, 100%ed the world, but left like the last 7-10ish missions just sitting there because I didn't really care what happened to Aidan, also to make Bad Blood make some sort of sense, since apparently it fixes all the major problems storywise? ), and yeah, I'm still getting invaded. Might have to do with the sale though.

I don't think anyone has ever gotten hosed on it. If you're willing to drop the two more bucks then yeah, totally worth it for another game if you want one of them.

The front page prices are usually advertising the copies sold by G2A directly, but when these run out, it will still work as a marketplace (like Amazon) and let you buy from marketplace sellers. Sometimes the marketplace sellers are cheaper, sometimes they're more expensive, the only real difference is that there's an optional surcharge for G2A to act as guarantor in case the seller sends you a faulty key and fails to issue a refund/new key when you buy from a marketplace seller. £7.50 is $12, not $16, but if you want one of the extra games there's no reason not to get it straight from uplay. e; Orv posted:it's an online extension of a legitimate UK store. No, that's simplyCDkeys. G2A is Polish.

Aw man, was Dark Messiah just a very brief sale? I coulda sworn when people were talking about it yesterday that it was up for $2.50 and that daily sales were at least 48 hours long. It's up to $6 which I ain't got the card money for.

IIRC hp is the same thing as attack, so it's actually much better to reduce every enemy to 1 hp than killing them (which makes battles take forever).

It's the best zombie game around, and if that doesn't impress you, it actually tries to be about survival, avoiding trouble, and so on, meaning it can get pretty tense and stuff.

From a Zooloman post (he worked very briefly for Valve some years ago) it's supposed to be all. There may be exceptions on how close tied some personnel are to the company, but go with "most" if for some reason you need a safe answer.

Splits posted:I have a few games Id like opinions on before I pull the trigger: Teleglitch was just in a $1(?) bundle and has been in other bundles. For $3... seems excessive. Ask around, I'm sure some goons may have it laying around. It's OK, I don't care for pixelart though Outlat is pretty good, but it's been $5 before and will be $5 again. If you want to play it RIGHT THE gently caress NOW, sure, but if you wait 1 month you'll save $5. It's pretty intense (like Amnesia) so you'll mostly play short sessions and is kind of short (6hours?) Stardrive, Avoid. It's pretty much an early-access game that took away the label yet that will never be finished PA is technically a complete game... but it's just not very fun.

State of Decay is the game that scratches my "Zombie killing" "Looting" and "Open World" itches...to an extent. It sadly is designed to have things fall down around you faster than you can effectively hoard all types of materials and stuff. That's likely to fuel most people's drive to kick butt, but I get too caught up in (indirect) time limits. Still, it's given me a ton of replay so if zombies in suburbia is your thing, go for it. Edit: Bruteman posted:Is the DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2 optional, or is there something in there that should be grabbed for first-time play? For the meat of this game--doing jobs, driving trucks, starting a company, not at all needed. However, if you want to support the devs or, more importantly, get the egregious fanmade "map mods" that add and rework the world, you're required to have them.

For The Banner Saga, there was a lets play of it not too long ago if people want a better look at how the combat is different from a lot of other RPGs. One of the development guys is a goon and dropped in to discuss the game in that thread. I got it for free, but never got around to playing it.
