    A note for anyone who plays the new Penny-Arcade game and has a fightstick, they work natively in the game and I gotta tell ya it's nice to be able to play with one hand.

    I cannot wait until the steam summer sales begins.

    Also, I will be buying the new PA game.

  • MorivethMoriveth BREAKDOWN BREAKDOWN BREAKDOWN BREAKDOWNRegistered User regular
    Woo, can't wait. I'm gonna have to be very selective in what I buy.

    Totally snagging A Valley Without Wind if it goes on sale, though. That game is weird.

  • FishmanFishman Put your goddamned hand in the goddamned Box of Pain. Registered User regular
    I'll probably end up missing most of the sale sitting on beaches in the middle of the Pacific.


    It's probably for the best.

    I probably won't buy anything in the summer sale either. I have too many games as it is and despite my large wishlist there really aren't all that many games I really want, just ones I'm kind of interested in.

  • MorivethMoriveth BREAKDOWN BREAKDOWN BREAKDOWN BREAKDOWNRegistered User regular
    Yeah, there aren't actually a ton of gamss I'm wanting. But there are a few. I'll probably snag A Valley Without Wind, the Wadjet Eye games if they go on sale, and other indie stuff. Can't really think of any big-name games that I currently am dying to have.

  • WimbleWimble Registered User regular
    the new penny arcade game is out?! And it's only 5 dollars? And they made it 4 euro for me instead of following the usual 1:1 conversion?

    These are so many good things! Merry christmas, everyone who doesn't know what day it is!

    I really hope crysis 2 goes on supersale during summer because I am very curious about it but not full price curious

  • MorivethMoriveth BREAKDOWN BREAKDOWN BREAKDOWN BREAKDOWNRegistered User regular
    I'm gonna say that Crysis 2 is not worth the full price. Maybe not even worth half-price.

    I hear it's not bad, exactly, it's just not as good as the first one. I did hear the multiplayer was balls though.

    To be fair I played it on the 360, and that game seems like it's best played on PC.

    Still, I found the actual gameplay pretty dull.

    Well you know more than I do, you actually played it while I just read what other people said.

    I never got far in Crysis. I've done the first areas over and over throughout the years it's been out because the open map and the various ways I could handle those camps and whatnot is very fun, but then I kinda burn out and put it down and start over the next time. I hear there's aliens or something? I never saw one!

    Did you not feel like there were a lot of options in how you could handle the areas in 2, Mori? If anything I'd be worried about being "in the middle of the action" too often. I am a huge fan of enemies not knowing I am there yet and such so I can plan

    Oh, there were options. I dunno, I just felt kinda... Bored with whatever I picked. Sneaking up on a dude, going in guns blazing, etc. Maybe I'm just not a fan of that kind of game anymore.

    Crysis 3 does look interesting though, I'll give it that.

    I feel a Steam sale giftening coming.

    Or it may just be a penis parade game reckoning. That doesn't even make sense to me.
