Steam XMAS Sale 2012

[Speakman]

Get hotline miami



Pretty meh sale so far, I've only bought Spec Ops The Line, everything else is either shit or I've already got

[Aloysius]

Fine. I was hoping Anno2070 complete would have a bigger discount. The same with sleeping dogs. Will wait till the end to see if they came up in a flash or something.

[Pyromanik]

Spec Ops The Line

What is that like?


Deadlight looked mildly entertaining, but then I found out it was an xbox title.
Is it worth it?

[Speakman]

Haven't touched it yet, because its xmas and so had two days of this:




Flatmate played it and liked it

[Pyromanik]

I see it has demo. Trying it now.

[Emrico1]

Picked up Mass Effect 2 for SP while OS soon.

[Pyromanik]

wut

[Speakman]

He's going overseas, where you get shot if you use the intermawebs

[Retardobot]

He's going to China!?

[Emrico1]

wut

Yeah, going over seas to work soon, bought some games for single player because the interwebs over there are fucking bad

[Pyromanik]

Oh you're coming back to NZ?



(That's a joke and a question)

[Pyromanik]

LOL
Sniper: Ghost Warrior 80% off.
Yeah I'd say it's probably worth $2.

[Scunner]

I've got Arkham City and the Saint's Row 3 package when they were $7.50 for the DLC. Apart from that I've just brought Natural Selection 2, Knights of The Old Republic 2 and Ace of Spades over the last couple of days.

[Pyromanik]

So... tell me about Ace of Spades, I've had my eye on that since it was released.

Deadlight looked mildly entertaining, but then I found out it was an xbox title.
Is it worth it?

I decided against it after reading about a whole bunch of issues with the Steam distribution.
Bad port is bad and crashes lots of varying hardware apparently.
Also only 3 hours long, while that isn't so bad I'm also pretty broke and I don't really think it's worth the $7.50

[Emrico1]

Oh you're coming back to NZ?

Yeah man, not selling up or anything...

[Scunner]

So... tell me about Ace of Spades, I've had my eye on that since it was released.

It's pretty much what you see on the video when you visit it's steam page. A bit TF2 meets Minecraft. Multiplayer matches where there are four classes with different weapons and equipment and all can destroy or build on any part of the map. There are a few different game modes from what I've seen but I haven't really played that much because there are only US servers at the moment and I lag pretty bad. I've had one good round where I didn't have too much trouble and that was pretty fun, but I'd like to see local servers.


On a side note, I want to get XCOM but 33% off doesn't seem like a good deal next to the 50%, 66% and 75% off of everything else. I know it's a recent release, but still ...

[Aloysius]

Got sleeping dogs. Something to play now. (already done a run through of hotline:Miami).

[Codex]

Looked at ace of spades but won't bother tbh, never see anyone playing it on my list

Picked up new worms since it's half, already had the rest of the worms games

Also picked up the walking dead

[winter]

Nobody has bought me the Square Enix/Eidos pack yet.. so I bought a couple of indie games until that happens.

[Pyromanik]

I bought, played and enjoyed Spec Ops: The Line. I'd recommend it.

Bought

I bought, played and enjoyed Spec Ops: The Line. I'd recommend it.

I heard that if you enjoy Spec-ops, it kinda makes you a psychopath

As much as I want to see this story everyone goes on about, I can't make myself due to the zzz 3rd person shooter gameplay.
