    Haha.

    My thought process just now was

    (as I'm idly clicking to the page)
    I really shouldn't [purchase Blood Money]

    (as I notice the prices)
    Oh, I guess I should...

    FLASH SALE 20 MINUTES ONLY!!1!

    Seriously, though, if Steam ever started doing that I'd probably lose my job.

    Didn't they do some slightly longer variation of that with a Rockstar sale?

    Like, they'd put a GTA game on sale for 75% off, but only for an hour, at 7AM.

    Grotesque Tactics is kinda worth it if you really like final fantasy tactics or disgaea or something. As far as I've gotten in the game (which I kinda think is most of the way through it) it's like those except without all the customization (which is why I have like 5 hours of GT played as opposed to the hundreds I have sunk into disgaea and FFT).

    It's a rather quirky game, and has its amusing moments. If you like the genre it's worth a few bucks, if not I'd probably skip it.

    edit: on that note, if anyone can recommend a FFT/disgaea style game that isn't grotesque tactics and runs on the PC, I'd love to know about it.

    edit: I bought the KF skin packs and I don't regret it. They are some really fun skins and I didn't mind throwing a couple of extra buck in for the whole package. They make and sell the character packs so they can continue working on the game. I'd like to see more stuff like this Holiday Event they've been running so I'll probably buy more if they make them.

    But yeah, if you're completely skint, then you may as well save a few bucks.

    Bottom line? Get the goddamn game.

    The character skins don't do anything other than just give you a different appearance. That said, the skins are pretty funny and help break things up with how intense the game gets and also helps fund tripwire's development of the game.

    I've heard good things about STALKER, but I'm super bad at horror games. I get way too into it. When I went through FEAR, I think the game felt bad for me and stopped making random shadows and shit because I would flip out at EVERYTHING. Someone convince me!


    I'm mad that I bought NWN yesterday. Lost 7 dollars. :( But still excited about it. I love the NWN series.


    And I, too, want to hear about Grotesque Tactics.

    Its not what you think. It just has nicer water and ragdoll dead bodies. Everything else looks the same.
    Oh ok. Whatever happened to that Black Mesa mod that was suppose to come out too? This reminded me of that.

    If I already own HL1 is source worth the 2.50?

    I find myself going back to normal HL1. I think its because that game had "dead" bodies but in Source the bodies die every which way and sometimes without gibbing so I wouldn't know if they were dead. Especially headcrabs. Plus I think the HD pack only works with old HL1.

    Half-Life Source also makes the crossbow less useful, and makes some of the jumping puzzles harder, because physics.

    In the world of STALKER you are nothing special, every encounter with bandits could be your last, you die just as fast as they do.

    Near invisible anomalies litter the world, horribly butchering anyone foolish and unlucky enough to stumble upon them.

    Wild packs of dogs roam the world looking for their next meal, which could be you.

    Horrible mutants stalk the night and abandoned buildings, and really don't like you trespassing into their hive.

    Men with their brains barbecued wander the waste, shooting at anything that approaches.

    Your gun will jam at the worst time, you'll be low on supplies when you really need it and emissions will begin when you're miles away from shelter.

    Stalker or Amnesia, YOUR CHOICE.

    STALKER is hands down one of the hardest FPS experiences I think i've put myself through so far. The Zone is not for babymen, it is for Zangiefs who bathe in Vodka. SoC is glitchy but can be patched up with some mods, I hear CoP is way better in the bug and system regard. You'll end up fighting to maintain a weight limit and item condition like an RPG, and you're weak as hell from the getgo. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that if you don't enjoy the thought of being completely tense as there's almost no safe zones for you in STALKER then it might not be for you.

    But you should totally buy it anyways.

    So does no one have any thoughts on Grotesque Tactics? It's been asked several times, and it was when it went on sale before too; but it doesn't seem like anyone has tried it.

    It looks pretty decent but there's no demo and could be balls for all I know.

    I guess what it comes down to for me is, when I play it, will I just think "man I should just load up FFT"? Or is it good on its own merits. Because the price sure is hard to beat.

    EDIT: Figures, I decide to finally maek post and someone answers it :P

    Sounds like I can pass it. Tactics without any customization = O_o
