    @Shiflett decided to class up the joint with a steam code. Unfortunately the code created an adverse reaction in my inventory and a previously applied catalyst created an enzyme that prevented code redemption.

    Thank you for gifting me Space Chem! I had previously downloaded it but didn't have it installed yet.

    Classy puzzles to hurt the brain? Why yes please. It's the thought that counts! Thank you.

    @Shiflett may be a Classhole saboteur of the highest degree. As I was thanking him for thinking to give me Space Chem I alt-tabbed to the forums and wham Jamestown instead.

    Did he do it on purpose? Is he a nefarious mastermind of the classiest degree? I do not know but Shiflett you are on the list. I will have revenge.

    Duck on Duck crime is the greatest tragedy.

    and it will continue.

    human revolution isn't bad. I would venture to say it's good!

    it's really atmospheric, the story is decently interesting, and you basically get to be cybernetic batman. It's relatively easy to see through the fourth wall if you go out of your way to look, but a lot of games are like that.

    it's not as good as the original but then, neither is anything else.

    also:

    They fixed Skyrim's price. It'll be $36 bucks if it wins.

    Skyrim showed up as $0.00 for a minute for me. I'm not sure about taking games for free, that seems shady, but that is a hard to resist price! Good thing I already have the game.

    Ghost Master's apparently pretty decent, so there's that pretty fundamental difference.

    Waaaay too expensive. They're not even trying.

    FYI, I've been waved off from Carrier Command by someone who preordered it on the basis of loving the original. So he was even more disappointed than I was (since all I had to go on was the really nice looking trailers). In his words:

    "You know how X-Com basically took the original game and managed to streamline it to make it easier to play without sacrificing the fun and original gameplay? CC: Gaea Mission is pretty much an example of what happens when you get that process wrong."

    Based on his comments and the aggregated reviews I've found online, the main issue is that the AI for the allied vehicles that are supposed to follow you, provide cover, attack your target, etc is as dumb as rocks. They get stuck in the terrain and other things that would be hilarious if you weren't expecting them to be backing you up. The practical result is that there's only one truly combat effective unit at a time, the one that you are driving. Also, it starts off with an FPS segment in which your character has to get to the carrier to begin the main strategy segment. Fortunately, he's equipped with a fast-charging shield, a gun with a nice big magazine that kills bad guys in one hit, and... no ability to sprint OR jump, so it's just a tedious run jog through lots of waist-high fence and crate mazes. Add some slightly dodgy voice acting and other issues, and it apparently all adds up to one great big ball of unrealized potential. :p

    Hmm, it seems Skyrim just won't hit the price I'm hoping for during this sale. Oh, well! At least I've got Dishonored and a huge backlog to keep me occupied 'till the winter sale.

  • Albino BunnyAlbino Bunny Jackie Registered User regular
    New thread already? Good work.

    Also the fact that the votes right now are for three deals we've already had (I think Skyrim was day 1 wasn't it?) is lame.

    I have all three games currently up for vote, have beaten them all.

    While Skyrim has the most depth, and would totally be worth the price, I voted for Tomb Raider, my GOTY for 2013 so far. At $12.50, no one has any excuse not to own it.

    Civics is not a consumer product that you can ignore because you don’t like the options presented.

    Well damn. I thought I'd taught a lesson to @Shiflett and we could call it even and move on. But nooooo, he waited until I was asleep and hit me with a Roller Coaster Tycoon.

    This does not end things, sir! Not at all!

    That's... are you sure you meant 'depth'? Skyrim is widely described as being "wide, but very shallow".

    edit: I came to post that I voted for TR and ended up with a duplicate Tomb Raider SSG card. Looking to trade it (or another) for an FM 2013 card.

    you guys want to hear something funny.
    first off this is how my computer is set up right now:
    0716030054_zpsfa801988.jpg
    its in the kitchen because its the only place that will pickup my friends wireless signal. the door on the left leads right out to the hallway.

    anyway when im at the computer i can hear my friend go to and from work each shift because she has to bring her bike in through the hallway right by my door. it was a little past midnight this morning and i was checking the steam sale and could hear her coming back from her shift. i waited until i could hear the bike right outside my door and then i quickly opened it and tried to abduct her and drag her into my apartment. she let out the loudest scream ever and tried to throw the bike onto me. i thought it was the funniest thing. this is how i treat the women in my life.

    Basically imagine one of those twisty knot puzzles where you have to think how to set up getting the knot untangled to win. Now imagine five of those going on at the same time, all with different requirements. You're also timed to get as many of these little puzzles done as possible.

    Also the puzzles turn into assholes and start attacking eachother if you puzzle too fast, except sometimes this is a good thing and required to win.

    It's pretty unique and fun.

    Has there been a game with no sale discount that became a daily or a flash?

    I know Magic 2014 just came out, but they would move a lot of copies with even a modest discount. I want to sling some copies around, but it just feels wrong at full MSRP.

    Being at full price during the sale is a mistake IMO. You gotta have a 10% discount at least just so you have that fashionable green tag and the other games don't laugh at you.

    Steam is currently displaying a vote for a flash sale that will reduce the cost of Skyrim to £0.00. Whoops.

  • John ZoidbergJohn Zoidberg Registered User regular
    All this talk of £0 Skyrim reminded me. I wonder if we will get something similar to the 90% ( I think ) discount on everything Sleeping Dogs that we got during the winter sale that lasted for like 30 minutes last year.

    Sleeping Dogs used to cost way more, though. It was just 6 bucks the other day. We also had those Tomb Raider games for 80 cents each.
