Men of War is the Mid-Week Madness special for $3.74, Gold Edition with the Red Tide expansion is $8.74

[archie4208]

Age of Wonders is on Steam. 

[Joe Molotov]

Pants tightening.

[Great Rumbler]

You can get all five episodes of Tales of Monkey Island today for FIVE DOLLARS. That's 86% off the regular price. It's definitely worth it, so make sure to get it if you haven't already.

Batman AA GOTY is weekend deal $13.60.

So glad I waited and didn't buy that stupid Eidos pack

what comes in the GOTY edition over the vanilla Batman AA? I bought it last year during the Christmas sale and haven't touched it...

Just a couple of challenge maps that you can buy for a few spacebucks anyway.

[Eel O'Brian]

extra drm also comes with the goty edition

[Joe Molotov]

Some people are saying the DRM listing is a mistake, I dunno, purchase at your own risk I guess.

[Joe Molotov]

Numen: Contest of Heroes, a game which our very own MAF claims is "pretty good", is on sale for $2!

[pilonv1]

Hmmm ancient greece RPG

[Great Rumbler]

Metro 2033 for $13.60.

[Raban]

I haven't played it. Is it worth it?

[Great Rumbler]

I haven't played it. Is it worth it?

Decent, not great, from what I've heard. Short too. Hard to go wrong for less than $15 though.

[Raban]

Hmm. I keep hearing the gunplay is awful, which doesn't bode well for me.

[cool breeze]

I thought the demo was pretty boring.  Plus it reminded me a bit of Cryostatis and I'm not a fan of that game.

It was actually $12 a long time ago from THQs site, then you could register the code with Steam since it is a steamworks title.

[Raban]

Yeah I'm probably gonna pass. Are there any THQ games even worth getting after all the Red Faction games?

[Bebpo]

I liked the little bit of Metro I played but it needs a faaaar better rig than mine to play properly so I'm waiting another year or two until I get a new card.  If you can only play the game on medium it's not worth playing.  High and above look amazing.


Also MLB 2k10 is $2; I'm passing because I always hear MLB 2k series sucks.
NBA2k10 was $2 for about 2 hours and then it went back up to $20   Too bad because I'd get it at $2.

[FatalT]

Instead of Metro 2033 I might pick up Global Agenda for $21.

[pilonv1]

Yeah I'm probably gonna pass. Are there any THQ games even worth getting after all the Red Faction games?

duh, Saints Row

[Joe Molotov]

Yeah I'm probably gonna pass. Are there any THQ games even worth getting after all the Red Faction games?

duh, Saints Row

The PC port of Saints Row 2 is nasty. 

[pilonv1]

True

[Raban]

Plus I own it on 360 and I only play it when I want to feel like a cheap whore. I just go into the glory hole gas station bathroom missions, jerk off and shelve it. Shit game. GTAIV > *

[GilloD]

It's basiaclly unplayable with KB+M, and it ran like shit on my computer. I can run Crysis okay-ish, Saints Row- No way.

[Great Rumbler]

It's weird, since Red Faction: Guerrilla ran just fine on PC.

[cool breeze]

RF:G was awesome on PC because it had a glitch where it would run at 1.5x the normal speed.  They "fixed" it with a patch 

[Bebpo]

It's weird, since Red Faction: Guerrilla ran just fine on PC.

Different port people.

I think Darksiders is the RF:G porters, which is why it runs well too.

Red Faction Guerilla was a small outfit called Reactor Zero, Saint's Row 2 was done in-house at Volition [which makes it even stranger, I suppose]. Darksiders was done in-house by Vigil Games.

[Bebpo]

You'd think they just decide on someone already, lol.

At least 2 of the 3 ports are good.  Although RF:G port is a tad bit better than Darksiders in performance and options.

[Great Rumbler]

You'd think they just decide on someone already, lol.

Volition didn't have anything to do with Darksiders, it was Vigil developing and porting.

[Raban]

No signs of a THQ sale today, Valve must be behind on updating the store page. Metro 2033 is still discounted so pick it up while it lasts.

Alright it's Frontlines: Fuel of War for $2.99

GIVE ME DARKSIDERS YOU FUCKS

[Great Rumbler]

Alright it's Frontlines: Fuel of War for $2.99

Not even really worth that.

[Bebpo]

halloween sale

nothing too good.

Might get Dark Fall Lost Souls for $7.  Probably won't.
I want DMC4 but even at $10 I bet it'll drop to $5 in the holiday sales so I'll keep waiting.

[Raban]

Halloween Sale looks alright, but nothing I feel compelled to buy now, so I'm gonna skip on it.

[archie4208]

Wrong thread.  Leper and ban.

Risen is $15.  Too bad the Steam version has 3 install limit DRM while the retail version has no DRM. 

[Bebpo]

Risen is $15.  Too bad the Steam version has 3 install limit DRM while the retail version has no DRM. 

Hmm, I heard good things when this was out.  Something like this was one of the best non-bioware wrpgs along with the Witcher.  Was waiting for it to get cheap before jumping on.  $15 ain't bad at all.

DRM Sucks, but as long as I'm carefully I'll probably not get screwed by that.  Plus if I do, I will not be hesitant to look around the seedier side of the internet to find a way to play this game I have legitimately purchased.

Get Divinity 2: The Dragon Knight Saga instead.

Risen is decent, but not really all that great.

[Bebpo]

When Divinity 2 is $15 I will

I'm pretty hesitant to spend over $20 on low budget wrpgs unless I hear REALLY good things about them for a few months.

[Bebpo]

Apparently you get 1 activation back every month and a half for Risen.  That's not bad.  I'll probably pick it up for $15 and throw it in the wrpg backlog with The Witcher, Dragon Age, and Jade Empire.

[pilonv1]

OMG can someone gift me Risen please?

edit: nevermind it's on the AU store now

[CHOW CHOW]

Download the Risen demo before you buy it blindly.  I'm not gonna make the same mistake I did with The Witcher... waste of $20.  That game has the worst combat I've ever experienced in an WRPG.  It's only lauded so highly because it's PC exclusive.

Risen demo link: http://news.bigdownload.com/2009/10/01/download-risen-demo/  Gonna try it after work and post impressions.

[Great Rumbler]

I tried to tell you guys before, the combat in Risen is pretty much poop for the first 3/4 of the game. It's only when you get the combat skill up to the highest level does it start to get kind of decent.

[Bebpo]

who to believe

A lot of wrpg fans say Risen is top-quality wrpg like the Witcher.  Great combat, great world to explore, good challenge, good graphics/voice work.
Yet a lot of wrpg fans say the game sucks, or is good early on and then gets boring or is boring early on and then gets good after 20 hours. 

There apparently is no consensus on this game!  ^^;

-Graphics are pretty good
-Voice work is decent, not great
-Island has some interesting secret places to find, but is fairly small and not particularly varied
-Combat is really meh, until you get the last level of the [sword] combat skill and it start to finally become bareable

The main draw here is that it has a good number of quests and sidequests that are reasonably well done, but it's NOT a great WRPG.

[pilonv1]

It was either this or take a punt on Two Worlds 2. I'd rather save $35 for now.
