Bully, you're just punching other kids around so not really carnage (you monster) Driver:SF - you're stuck in the car (or more accurately, you possess people driving the cars - the premise is actually quite bonkers) so all the missions are driving based. Der. (Also uses Uplay, if that's an issue.) And Sleeping Dogs is pretty great too. But the plotline will probably hook you and you may end up playing more than a few hours at a time.

Zombie Samurai posted:Yeah, this. Sleeping Dogs would be the best in the genre if Red Dead Redemption didn't exist. It's tight, it's polished, there's a ton of stuff to do, and the story is actually good. Like in Indy Jones and the Lost Ark, the dates are bad.

The BE banner only sends me to the BE page instead of a Civ franchise page, which I guess is really confusing if it's meant to be a franchise thing. In that case, $13 is as cheap as it's going and it's a good price if Civ is your cup of tea. Lemon-Lime fucked around with this message at 23:14 on Nov 26, 2014 |

Bought Armored Hunter Gunhound EX and made a net profit on trading cards. Thanks, anime games! Looks like the market on 'em is falling out quick, I managed to sell my cards for $1.50 each. Holographics are going for more than ten bucks a pop.

Away all Goats posted:Any of the DLC for Company of Heroes 2 worth getting? Nope! None have story, and are just challenge modes ( hold the point with only riflemen for 30 minutes, kill the entire convoy without any alarms being sounded, etc ). That'd be kind of cool, but more of them end up just being "beat this skirmish on hard with less then 5000 causalities, which eh.

For quite a few of them, if it's a franchise thing, it will send you through to a page that lists all the games in the franchise (which is a good enough solution, I guess). For some reason, they don't do this for BE/Civ.  Is there anything else bar Civ and CS that are franchise deals on today's front page? Flash sales are the 8 hour ones. 24/48 hour deals are just the dailies.

Bit of a silly question, but are there any good RPGMaker games on sale? I've got a hankering for some of that old-school stuff. Alternatively- any so-bad-it's-good RPGMaker games out there? The higher the cringe factor, the better

Sim City 4 on sale. I'd recommend that highly. Now I'm sure a lot of you who have played it are thinking ''gently caress SC4 and all the mods to make it sexy''. Well, let me show you the way to the current goon mega pack of mods which probably has every decent mod and dependency as of a month ago. https://mega.co.nz/#!5ck33KzS!Wq04elB3H7-hyq1O1rdJhzd5Dg2D7eyB-UkIO-909Sg. Its 3.2GB (unzipped), sorry! It's well worth it though. Buy it. SC4 (with mods) is a lot of fun and will sink hours of your life refining tiny parts of the map to make it sexy.

I think I'm good." and it turned out to be fuckin' amazing, as surely demonstrated by the original SA thread filled with loads of us going "Wait, this is good?" and coming back six hours later to say "Holy poo poo this is great, buy it now GOTY" Wei Shen, motherfucker.

The campaign is extremely offensive ( even to me, the guy who grew up in Poland, loves movies like Enemy at the Gates, and finds the single player of CoD games amusing romps through dumb poo poo ), and the multiplaer is extremely imbalanced. Worse, all the neat mission types you expect from current gen RTS games are gone, replaced by charging machine guns with waves of infantry. So not really? Unless you really hate Russia. e: It's the first game I ever played that attempts to paint the Nazis as sympathetic. Not because of the good German myth, but because they were good people for fighting against the evil Russians. THE EVIL RUSSIANS YOU ARE PLAYING AS.

I would say just play CoH 1. It honestly looks nearly as good (sometimes better compared to the white/brown poo poo smeared maps in 2) and plays better Campaign in CoH 1 is actually decent, and probably has same amount of people playing MP (i.e. very little)

Yeah it was a big letdown. 1 was really amazing for it's time and still looks and plays great. There were plenty of things they could have updated and could have been a good sequel in theory, but... well... they didn't. CoH2 is the game that was made that shouldn't have been made and didn't want to be made. It was a desperate last attempt at cashing out by THQ green-lighting it before they went out of business. There was no love in it from the devs like the first one (and fair amount of people from Relic who made CoH1 had abandoned ship before then), its basically the same engine and graphics, the sides feel less interesting to play than American vs Wermmacht, and what little they did change is almost universally for the worse.

I'm not getting much in this sale, but my one big recommendation - especially in the wake of Sonic Boom being hellaciously awful - is Freedom Planet. It's pretty much Exhibit A in any case to be made for Sega just giving the franchise to fans. It's half off right now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMEmcVRNZvI It's clearly Sonic-inspired in part (especially the characters), but it's kinda like Shovel Knight in that it's the best elements of the best Genesis platformers all mashed into one. There's a lot of Sparkster (melee-focused combat, rechargeable air-dash), Ristar and even Gunstar Heroes in there. Also like Shovel Knight, it has super catchy music. If you're allergic to goofy saturday morning cartoon voicework and cutscenes, there's even a no-story mode, so everybody wins. Despite not selling so hot and almost no reviewers even giving it the time of day, it has one of the highest user ratings on Steam. Something like 99% of the 550-ish reviews so far are positive. People like it. I think you will too. Anonymous Robot posted:Bought Armored Hunter Gunhound EX and made a net profit on trading cards. Gunhound is pretty rad, too! Kinda like a more arcadey version of Cybernator/Assault Suits Valken. Pretty good blend of fast movement and stompy mecha combat.

Death Skid Marks is fun. Drive 666km to a concert and on the way have some kinda mad max vehicle combat, pick up a variety of hitchhikers to fight, take drugs or win at russian roulette to upgrade their stats and fight groupies in a variety of tanks.      Also you can eat poutine.
