    Borderlands 2 has been on like a billion sales from various places in the past month. How did you manage to miss all of them? :P

    Thanks to @Shogun. All I did was send him a friend request so we could trade some cards. He took a look at my wish list and said "We need to fix this!" And thus gave me Jagged Alliance: Crossfire. Thank you!

    Yeah, $10 is a pretty good price for it. Maybe it'll go that low.

    Was the Cave a flash deal or did it just randomly go up in price? It was 75% off and now it's only 50%.

    You need TEAMWORK! There are 5 people out there who have part of the puzzle, but I haven't seen them work together yet. You can't do it alone!

    It's probably a good buy at $15. It's a pretty quality game in most respects. Pretty cool story, some really awesome areas and a fairly creepy atmosphere. Not expressly a horror game, but there's a bit of "what made that noise" going on. It has a few problems, and starts off kind of generically.

    Also, it does that thing with the Cyrillic alphabet: я is used for R. At least when presenting on-screen text to the player. I think any actual writing in-world is done correctly.

    When I rented it shortly after it came out, it was a great weekend game, but thats it. I'd still like to play it again though.

    So, in what ways, other than graphically, is XCom better than the original? All anyone seems to talk about is how similar the gameplay is, but I already own the first one.

    I would say the "feel" is similar to the original, but not the gameplay really. They revamped action points and cover in fairly significant ways. Level ups are also more defined now. After the rookie level, each agent gets a class (Heavy, Support, Assault, Sniper) and as they gain ranks (level up) they can focus on different aspects of their class. It still has the same general game progression in terms of research and keeping pace with increasing alien invasions.

    It's the best tactical shooter in the modern day, bar none imho, if we're looking at gameplay. Graphically, obviously they've got action cams and significantly updated graphics (and mods out there to tweak it however you'd like). I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone interested in tactical combat games.

    X-COM isn't a tactical shooter! It's a turn based strategy game.

    Fortunately. You can't add more than one copy of a game to your cart at the same time. Or this page would just be filled with Strike Suit Infinity. I have a sickness. But well. At least gifting isn't drinking right? Instead you guys just get one more chance to win it and one of my favorite games. In fact it's the game that pulled me into the steam community. FTL.

    Talk me about Chivalry Steam thread. As somebody who mostly tolerates the combat in Mount & Blade does that mean anything or is Chivalry very different?
    I'm tempted, but I worry it will just be a game I idle for cards in and then never play again, which makes the £5 a bit steep.

    Everyone is different. Everyone is special.
