Everyone should get NWN2 just for the Mask of the Betrayer expansion. Its an excellent story.

Grafikal · July 10, 2011, 12:10:58 AM

That's what I bought. lol

SirJackRex · July 10, 2011, 02:24:17 AM

Already have it.

It is a great game.

I'm not sure if I"m having fun with Terraria or I'm just OCD. I've been mining a series of tunnels for quite some time now. It's not necessarily fun but I can't stop.

I bought Audiosurf when it was on sale because I thought "Well, nothing's going to be below the $2.75 that I have so I might as well buy it." And then now Terraria's on sale ._. I'm so pissed.

Grafikal · July 10, 2011, 04:25:06 AM

you don't have like $4? ...

pacdiggity · July 10, 2011, 04:35:43 AM

It's $2.49. Which is, smugly, 2.30 AUD. Haha! I save 20 cents on a game I already have.

Grafikal · July 10, 2011, 04:39:42 AM

idk, Steam shows me it's at $4.99 - 50% off.

Holkeye · July 10, 2011, 04:44:11 AM

It was $2.50, now its $5. They did the same thing with something the other day. A 4 pack was like $6.50.

Moo, what's your ID? I'll just gift you a copy.

I actually have no cash on me, and my parents owe me money, and they're setting up a credit card for me soon to put that money in there as well as my stipend for my internship so tl;dr - No T_T

@Holk: I'm mastermoo420 and omg I love you ;-; Always helping me out with game-related things. Like my PSP. I never forgot

Let me know if I can repay you in any way D8

Holkeye · July 10, 2011, 06:59:44 AM

You have to add me before it goes back up again. I'm going to bed, but I'll check it around noon tomorrow.

You have 15 minutes to approve me, before it goes back up again.

Kokowam · July 10, 2011, 07:52:48 PM

Oh crap LOL w/e I added you late, I guess. Thanks anyways, though.

Grafikal · July 10, 2011, 08:11:36 PM

Kokowam · July 10, 2011, 08:48:15 PM

No, early yesterday, it was under $2.50. Then it got changed later on in the day.

pacdiggity · July 11, 2011, 12:20:51 AM

It's still the same price as some time yesterday.
Actually, quite a bit of yesterday.

Holkeye · July 11, 2011, 03:54:36 AM

Enjoy, Moostafa.

Bought Inside a Star Filled Sky, Everyday Shooter, and Greed Corp. haven't been able to play them though because of how busy the servers are. $:-\$ Does anybody know if The Polynomial is any good? I've heard some very polar opinions. Contemplating Painkiller: Black Edition, a Broken Sword, and Beat Hazard Complete, which I regret not buying.

I got to pick Terraria up for $2.50 so I'm content. It does get more fun, but the combat is hardly engaging. Building houses and exploring caves are so far my favorite parts. Apparently DoWII Retribution also had bugged pricing early today and was $7.49! I would've bought it but didn't catch it in time.

SEE HERE for an extensive list of inexpensive good games.
[spoiler=my last-minute recommendations]
Again: VVVVVV - $2.50: I cannot recommend this game highly enough. It's as good as, if not better than, the best metroidvania games, but entirely puzzle and exploration driven. It's challenging yet not frustrating. (The beginning is boring but after you find the first crew member it becomes utterly mesmerizing.) Easily the best $2.50 spent; there's a demo of it, too. Hell, even if you don't love it to no end, it's only $2.50; you can do a lot worse and very little better for $2.50. Tip: M-key mutes sound.

Madballs in...Bobo: Invasion - $2.49: A good top-down shooter. The single-player is entertaining for the first run (unfortunately iirc you must beat it a second time to unlock all multi-player options). However, the multi-player is a blast but I think it's pretty much dead. Haven't played it in a while. I have an additional copy if anybody is interested in it.

Galcon Fusion - $3.40: Utterly fantastic. It's a simple, fun, and frenetic RTS. For $3.40 it is a steal. Highly recommended, even if you suck at strategies. This game is entertaining for an afternoon of gaming and unrivaled five minutes of gaming.

Magicka - $3.39; Complete (all DLC) - $8.49: Inventive, funny, and most importantly fun! The complete pack is totally worth it.

Unreal Tournament GOTY - $4.99: You owe it to yourself to play this game, or at least 2K4. Arguably the best arena-shooter ever made. This is a shooter in which skill and reflexes take precedent to grenade-spamming and luck. After you learn the weapons and movements, it's pure skill.

Unreal Tournament 2004 - $7.49: The differences (primarily mods) between this and GOTY are enough make both worth the purchase, but if you're on a budget you might get more mileage out of this one: active enough community (though I think GOTY's might be more active), prettier, more mods (I think), and it should run fine on any modern system.

Torchlight - $7.49: Diablo in disguise? Maybe so, but it's still a fantastic hack-n-slash. There's no multi-player. Yeah, weird, but it's still a very fun single-player affair.

Super Meat Boy - $11.24: As fun as it is tough, and it's relentlessly tough. Its trial-and-error game-play borders the absurd at times, though its charm and simplicity make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Do you enjoy those intense moments during which you involuntarily bite your lips, clench your jaw, and contract your anus? Yes? Then you'll love this game.

Overlord - $3.34; Complete Pack (1+exp+2) - $13.39: A good haphazard mix of Pikmin and Zelda. Overlord is mostly better than Overlord II, but they're both excellent. Raising Hell contains new dungeons.

Frozen Synapse - $16.74: (only a two-pack is available.) Easily my favorite TBS, and a GOTY-contender without a doubt. Turns are taken simultaneously and your plans are transformed into five seconds of real time. With as much control other your individual units as you'd find in a typical FPS, the game truly affords you complete control over every movement your units make. Surprisingly, though, is how simple it is to control your units. Every action is initiated through a simple way-point system (think C&C) and context menu; no overwhelming GUI to learn! It is the equilibrium of simplicity and complexity.

The Witcher 2 - $33.49: You really should get it.

But above all else, VVVVVV.

I got DoW for the $7. Polynomial is dumb, get Beat Hazard instead.

Holkeye · July 20, 2011, 08:38:29 AM

I know the sale is over, and I am about to double post, but I'd just like to take a minute to say that this was a lot of fun. I know that all we were doing was giving money away, but it was still exciting to come home from work and have more games be dirt cheap. As a last hurrah to the summer sale, I'd like to say that I'm super pumped that LIMBO is coming to Steam on August 2nd. I'll be picking that up for sure.
