It's a popularity contest as any poll will be. The longest journey is the biggest "name" among those in adventure game circles. Same with Sim City 4 which beat Anno 2070 which annoyed me.

Sorry Bros, I do not yet own Dead Island, has ~~StarCraft~~ Space Marines already.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #668 on:** July 19, 2012, 12:04:58 PM »

I will agree with Green Man here, if you get Dead Island (which I liked a lot), stick with the base game. The Ryder White DLC strips out everything that's good about the main game and turns it into a linear shooter/melee infected gauntlet, and it is frustratingly bad. You will die, like, every 30 seconds at certain points.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #669 on:** July 19, 2012, 12:06:06 PM »

nah, I can see dead island vote too- also E.Y.E. is flash sale- totally worth it for the setting weirdness

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #670 on:** July 19, 2012, 12:08:45 PM »

I would vote Dead Island, but that will only put it at $10 and some change. NEED MOAR DISCOUNT BEFORE BUY

Witcher 2 for $15.99 isn't as good as the goodoldgames deal.

It is if you own Witcher 1, or if it you don't. Doesn't matter.

Buying Witcher 2 (or 1) anywhere else lets you register it on GoG here: http://www.gog.com/en/witcher2/backup/

Steam version has achievements and cloud saving and it's registered to Steam. Then you can go and get the DRM version + Extras on GoG.

and Amazon is really undercutting Steam. Sniper Elite is $15 there, like, right now, and I think it's Steamworks.

If you see that, just refresh. It's just a glitch. The missing title is the Indie Pack VIII, btw.

Honest Hearts and old world blues iirc

tl;dr: That is correct. Buy those two.

Dead Money: Survival Horror in a hotel. A completely separate economy, invincible enemies, exploding collars, the works. If you get this you will DEFINITELY want to mod out some of the gameplay elements.

Honest Hearts: Mormons vs. Indians. This was my favorite DLC by a lot. The area's like visiting Yosemite, very different from the FO3/FONV desert. Best characters and writing in the game imo. <3 The Burned Man.

Old World Blues: "Goofy" sci-fi fallout. Very 50's B-movie vibe. This one is funny, for some values of funny. A lot of people's favorite.

Lonesome Road: Kind of a linear run-and-gun adventure; has some narrative conclusion about the Courier but otherwise not very well respected. At this point I was way burnt out and didn't even finish.

what mods are you talking about with Dead Money?

I already own that and Honest Hearts. Thinking I should get Old World Blues and go through all three. Do the DLC assume you're super knowledgeable about Fallout NV or is there some help to get you back in it? And are they fairly standalone and divorced from the main game?

G The Resurrected · « **Reply #689 on:** July 19, 2012, 07:44:40 PM »

I haven't bought anything for the steam sale $:-\$

But I was thinking about getting a four pack of Nexuiz if anyone wants a copy let me know.

Also how is Krater that looks kind of cool.

I've held out on getting Postal 3 and Quantum Conundrum.

Oh and if I already have Dead Island in my backlog for 360 should I get the GOTY for PC since its so cheap? Lots of people still play it?

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #690 on:** July 19, 2012, 07:46:05 PM »

Nexuiz PC is pretty bad, from what I've heard [bad netcode], and nobody plays it.

Easily my favourite, some of the best writing in either game.

Dead Money has a good story and characters, and the ending is pretty interesting but as stated some of the early gameplay is infuriating.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #693 on:** July 19, 2012, 08:00:20 PM »

I'z been gifted robots! Thanks Eel, check yer steam account when you get a chance.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #694 on:** July 19, 2012, 08:04:03 PM »

at the time, I described Old World Blues as "wacky westaboo" - it's not quite bacon narwhal level, but it's definitely of that ... vein. It's well-written! But it's "the funny one." I enjoyed it quite a bit in spite of the humor. If you find PC gamer-style humor amusing, you will like it even more. It's definitely an easy grab in either case.

also, if you don't own NV already, pick up the Ultimate Edition with all DLC of course!

http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/40725 - this basically breaks the DLC, but if you just care about the story *shrug*

Most of the mods are completely standalone stories, though you will need to relearn the items and battle mechanics.

I declined it though, 'cause I've gone off the idea of playing it completely at this point. Should have taken it off the old Wish List.

I don't think I'll use the second one. I was untouchable by the end of New Vegas; probably more fun without my stuff.
