I was really excited when it was initially announced, but after all the things I've read the past several months, I wouldn't touch it if it was free.

Yeah... it's a pure money grab after DayZ's success. I didn't realize it was that bad a couple of months ago but the more I hear about it, the more despicable it sounds.Quote:

Anyone have experience in Stronghold? Looks pretty interesting.
And also, can I install games to multiple computers in Steam? I just got a laptop...nothing too fancy, but say if I wanted to play Wizorb or something on it, will it allow me?
Yes. You can only be signed in to one at a time but you can install it on multiple computers.Quote:

Bah. Looked like it could be fun.
I've played them all. Stronghold 3 was atrocious. Buggy as hell and just not very well programmed to begin with.Quote:

Actually, apparently the Singleplayer campaign is REALLY well done. For $7.49, I'd say it's worth it, just so that you have Stronghold 2 as well.
Damn, it's $12 something for the collection that has Stronghold 2 as well as Stronghold 3 gold edition. Not sure if it's worth it for that...
Well....Steam finally pulled WarZ off of the "shelves".
Would buy this but I have over half those games already.Quote:

If so, hopefully it lasts until the end of next week.
I had a couple on PS3, but none on PC, so I threw down $6.50 to get it.Quote:

Terraria for $6.69 and Sim City 4 Deluxe for $9.99. Hmmmmm
Also, Hitman Collection for $6.24.
Meh, nothing for me today.
Intrusion 2 looks interesting for $3. Beyond that, I'm mostly waiting on AC3 to go on sale hopefully, that and maybe Doom 3 BFG.

That'll work.Quote:

Yeah, I picked up Intrusion. It's kinda fun. It's annoying that guns you pick up have limited ammo but that's just a minor annoyance. I'd say it's like Contra with physics... it's not going to engage you for hours on end probably, but it appears to be a fun time waster. I'd liken it to a really well done flash game.Quote:

I just have always used Paypal and never had any problems with them. I've only bought a handful but no problems when I do.Quote:

You can play xcom for free?
If I'm stealing it, god damn right I can. ;)Quote:

I really hope Bastion goes more than 50% off at some point this week.
Getting back into it today, I think I'm done with it and not purchasing it afterall. The bullshit setup of the enemies and the general silliness of encounter setups is just too much for me to stomach anymore.
New flash deals up on Steam.
DOOM 3 BFG for $14.99 *50% off* ($10.50 on Green Man Gaming)
Deus Ex Human Revolution for $4.99 *75% off*
Art Rage Studio Pro 3 for $20.39 *66% off* (art software)
Meh, already have both of them and got them for cheaper anyway. Come on, 75% off Bastion!
You can also vote for Miasmata, Forge, or Waking Mars to be 50% off. Pretty sure all 3 of them are greenlit games.
Well, Civ 5 Gods and Kings Expansion is 50% off and the upgrade to the Game of the Year edition is 50% off as well so looks like I'm spending ~$30 next Friday to buy those.
Played some Doom 3 last night for the first time as I got the BFG edition. There are definitely some shit your pants moments :D
I can't believe I'm witnessing DLC for a free to play game as one of the current flash deals. Hopefully these new daily deals coming up in about 7 minutes are a little better.
By the way, never played the Half-Life series. How many of them are they? I was looking at the bundles last night and it just confused me. Which ones are essential?
Half Life 1, Half Life 2, & the Half Life 2 episodes (1 & 2) are essential. Blue Shift & Opposing Force aren't that great... easily can avoid those.Quote:

Yeah... wasn't sure why you were jumping on it so fast yesterday. Live & learn but with these Steam sales, if it has a general discount, then very likely, it will eventually be even further discounted during the daily deals.Quote:

Doom 3 was great when I first played it, but Doom 2 is a classic that I still occasionally go back and play on the second to highest difficulty (Ultra Violence) and it manages to still scare the living hell out of me.Quote:
