Steam Stuff

Okay, recycling this topic because I was wondering if anyone knew anything about Majesty 2 because it's on sale, and I have exactly $4.99 in my Steam Wallet and I was wondering if it was worth getting the pack thingy.

[Holkeye]

Eh, I'd wait for something better. Its kind of bland.

[Kokowam]

Is SPAZ any good then?

[Holkeye]

No, but on another note, Ys: The Oath In Felghana just got put up, which is a sick game. I love the Ys games, and this one is probably my favorite. They even added achievements, if that's your thing, and its only $15. I hope they put the other ones up, too. That would be rad.

Shit, I thought Ys was a niche Strategy RPG that I played a long time ago but didn't really care for. The Oath in Fleghana looks really, really fun. Man, I think I'm gonna have to pick it up now.

SPAZ is seems nice but it very slow. As such, I have played little of it. I liked what I did play, but man it does drag itself.

Has anyone played Kingdoms of Amalur? Should I get it now, not get it at all, or wait for it to go on sale?

[Dwarra?]

It's a good game, not a blockbuster or anything but it's easy to get into.

[Kokowam]

Whoa they released the AoE Online

[Dwarra?]

Age of Empires online has been out for almost a year now, and it sucks.

My brother played that game solely to laugh at it.

I would say it's not very good. The quests are really bad.

[modern algebra]

Thanks.

[tSwitch]

I enjoyed Amalur a lot.

If anyone knows anything about "Hack, Slash, Loot," is it a dungeon crawler (or whatever the genre's called) worth getting (ie. if it's innovative or just a solidly executed or etc.)?

EDIT: I read one thread that kinda completely turned me off from this game. The unlocking of classes is linked with more playtime, but the way it works is that it's linked with the number of your deaths. Unlocking based not on merit but on something so stupid is such poor design - in my opinion - that it doesn't seem like a game worth buying. The logic is ostensibly to have people who are bad at the game playing at the same standard as others, but it's dumb.

[chewey]

The game is part of the latest indie royale bundle, just so you know.

Just get Dredmore, if you want a fun roguelike.

[jomarcenter]

waiting for a time that valve making portal 1 and 2 free... (i freaking missed last 2 free giveaway totally bad luck)
or valve will make portal 3(wait they don't know how to count to 3)...

Right, "roguelike" was the genre. And yeah, I forgot I had Dredmore so I'll probably get around to that someday...

wow this post is probably your most coherent so far.

that said I don't think portal 2 will be free anytime soon, it's too new.

but a half-life with a 3 in it better come before any other valve series gets a 3.

[SirJackRex]

Well technically Counter-Strike is getting a third installment.

Otherwise yeah I don't care about any other new Valve game at the moment just finish HL3 ffs.

Also noteworthy is that Dark Souls is coming to PC and likely to Steam because Namco's latest PC release (Ridge Racer Unbound) was put on Steam.

speaking of CS:GO I should see if i got in the beta

[strike]

nope.

[Dwarra?]

I played the beta for awhile the other night. It's pretty average ;(

[Holkeye]

The same thing will happen as when Source came out. Some people will say it isn't as good as Source, and the 1.6ers will still play 1.6.

[strike]

those crazy 1.6ers
