Fuck that. Pounds are worth more than Dollars. $7.50 != £7.50.

I bought oblivion thought, everyone's always told me I have to play it, and the price is good ;o

Moss. · June 30, 2011, 11:13:55 PM

Wait, can you mod the Steam version of Oblivion?

Grafikal · June 30, 2011, 11:31:53 PM

yeah. It's the full game, you just use steam to launch it, though I'm pretty sure you don't actually need steam to launch a steam game (though I'm aware some games you do - Like terraria for instance)

Also, just bought Borderlands goty

Holkeye · July 01, 2011, 02:12:41 AM

I'm buying a shit ton of stuff too. Borderlands is bought, Lead and Gold is bought, and anyone who hasn't got the Witcher 2 should do it now for like $33.

tSwitch · July 01, 2011, 09:22:50 AM

The Witcher 2 is godlike.

Holkeye · July 01, 2011, 04:08:01 PM

I know, right? Also, 1 HOUR UNTIL UPDATES! I've been considering the THQ pack, too. $50, and you get all of Dawn of War 2, all of Company of Heroes, STALKER, Titan Quest, Saints Row 2, Red Faction, and they even threw in Homefront, which is hilarious to me.

updated for day two

Holkeye · July 01, 2011, 06:40:55 PM

I bought Heroes V, and I would buy Just Cause 2, but I run XP. :/

modern algebra · July 01, 2011, 07:01:52 PM

I bought Heroes V, KotOR, and a bunch of the Civ V expansions. I love deals!

tSwitch · July 02, 2011, 06:12:22 PM

Updated for Day 3

Holkeye · July 02, 2011, 06:36:47 PM

Bought Battlefield and Darksiders.

tSwitch · July 02, 2011, 10:15:57 PM

Bad Company 2 is pretty awesome.

Holkeye · July 02, 2011, 10:19:34 PM

Is Magicka any good? I watched the videos, and it looks sort of like Deathmatch Gauntlet.

Grafikal · July 02, 2011, 10:42:33 PM

Hm. Nothing today seems to suit me. Well, bioshock 2, fable 3 and hl2 - but already own them, lol.

Holkeye · July 02, 2011, 11:29:10 PM

I've been playing the shit out of Lead and Gold. Its a lot of fun, but I wish that the classes were easier to recognize from a distance.

Edit: And if you haven't played Darksiders, you should. Its basically Zelda, but its another of those games where the world is just so beautifully crafted.

SirJackRex · July 03, 2011, 07:03:23 AM

Bought Magicka Complete and Super Meat Boy.

Super Meat Boy is hot shit and probably the most difficult game I've ever played. You should all buy it, and I strongly recommend using a controller.

Magicka is great. It's definitely neat and unique, and words and videos don't do it justice. You kind of need to play it to understand it. I'm pretty sure Steam has a demo of it up.

Grafikal · July 03, 2011, 05:39:19 PM

I like how Two Worlds 2 is 66% off and I bought it like 2 weeks ago ._.

Figure I'll get Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and Dragon Age 2

Holkeye · July 03, 2011, 05:41:21 PM

I bought the complete DA:O, and Torchlight, but I'm still on the fence about Two Worlds 2. I'll decide after work.

tSwitch · July 03, 2011, 07:02:18 PM

updated with day 4 deals.

Grafikal · July 03, 2011, 07:23:51 PM

Two Worlds 2 is actually really good - my only gripe is its horribly shitty dialog and the occasional sound bug. (I go from speakers to headphones sometimes and the sound doesn't transfer to the headphones unless I restart the game.) Also, (just me) I'm having issues with crashing every 30 so often. Luckily you can alter how often the auto-save occurs minimum every two minutes. It's been pretty common practice with me to just walk for a little and press quick-save so it's not really a problem now and more just annoying.

I don't even know how far along I am in it and I have like 12-15 hours in it already. I don't seem very far. I'm only barely onto the second Island. I'm not actually sure how many islands or areas there are though. I'm level 25 and from what I hear, there's no level cap.

Also the game is really hard but gets easier as you go along and level up your skills/upgrade your weapons.

SirJackRex · July 03, 2011, 07:38:37 PM

I'm contemplating Assassin's Creed II. Can anybody tell me how well it controls on the PC?

Torchlight is great. Though be sure to check out its mods. They add some much need features (particularly more storage). The skill-balance is a bit wonky, too.

tSwitch · July 04, 2011, 01:27:14 AM

ACII is laden with massively shitty drm last I recall.

Kokowam · July 04, 2011, 01:33:46 AM

I need money ._. So I can give it to Steam.

Holkeye · July 04, 2011, 02:07:13 AM

I said no on Two Worlds 2 and bought Assassin's Creed 2 instead. I've played the pc version before, and it controls wonderfully. I had no problems at all.
