Just because it isn't as cheap as the rest doesn't mean it sucks.

Usually indie royale has one game that's I'm willing to pay for, like Analogue or To the moon, one random steam game, and and assorted random 2 others that I never actually play. But it has a nice presentation, and if the headliner is any good, I'll grab it, as it's similar to buying the main game on sale, but getting free extras too! so I'm interested.

though I have no idea what the replay bundle in kinda hinting at. repeats of old sales? Prince of persia? who knows?

I don't necessarily disagree. I've yet to buy one, myself. Only two I would have jumped on were ones where I already owned the 'premier' game. I don't have much hope for the new one but... who knows.

I may have said it previously, but my memory is questionable. I believe the best way to enjoy Dishonored is to go for the less than 20% kills. If you kill less than 20% of the people in the level, both guards and infected, your chaos will remain low. That leaves room for a few "Oh shit! Throat stab!" moments and still gives you a reason to attempt stealth whenever possible. The only real bonus to no detection (outside of personal satisfaction) is the achievement, and if you're going to do that one, you might as well go for the Blink Only one as well. So unless you're achievement hunting, I seriously advise choking out as many people as you can, and throat stabbing the few that you can't.

(Also, never forget to use possession, I can't tell you how many non-lethals I got because I could possess a dude and walk him out of my way... or into the clutches of a waiting ally...)

My guess is the revival of an old bundle (hence the wishlist feature in your IR collection page) or a compilation of games they've had in previous bundles. Either way, I'm not expecting something completely new.

I'm pretty sure they will just rerun one of their past bundles. I hope it will be that one with Blackwell trilogy, because I missed it.

FUCK I went to sleep without buying the Penny Arcade games!

is Rage any good? cant decide if i want to pick it up for 5 bucks.

I'm 20 hours into it or so.

But, let me warn fans - it is also NOT like previous Hitman games in many ways. If you are expecting Hitman 2: SA or Hitman: Blood Money, you're expecting the wrong kind of game. This game tries to be MORE than those. A LOT of new things here (missions are more mixed-up w/ some sandboxy and some linear types; a meter that you can fill by doing things that can give you skills like Mark & Execute like in SC: Conviction and see enemies through walls like Batman: AA + AC; leaderboard for your in-game score to be compared against your Steam Friends, The USA, and The World); and some things been removed (i.e. Notoriety system and earn money to upgrade equipment is gone in the SP Campaign; no globe-trotting around the globe here, since it's all in the USA).

At times, it IS A LOT like previous Hitman games (sandboxy missions w/ targets that you have numerous creative ways you kill them and you have to find your exit). Also, at times - it is NOT like Hitman games - i.e. it'll be much more linear and you basically need to just evade the cops or just exit the area.

The story, though - this is the best story I've seen in a Hitman game. Way more focused than ever before. And some of the characters are just awesome and great.

Good, but not great. Could've and should've been great - but, it's not.

The story is nothing special; and the ending is down-right terrible and actually worse than ME3's ending.
Though, this game has the best and coolest characters I've seen in an Id game.

Recycled areas for side-missions is not a good thing, either - and this is one of the major problems w/ this game. You'll feel like you've went through many of these areas before - b/c you've often explored them in the main quest!
Also, it can be a pain in the butt to just game actually looking and running well - if you actually can succeed at this.

Though, if you like Id-style shooters and combat - you'll see this is what this game is fantastic at.

Also, keep in mind - RAGE is like over 20 GB in size...

Yo everyone! I found this amazing german site where you can buy games. Today and tomorrow they have a couple of them on sale for just 1 euro each. As far as I know they all come with steam codes (I bought Saints Row 2 and it gave me a steam code). Not all of the games (in fact a lot) are really interesting though I think.

You can pay with paypal. You'll have to make an account though.

Enjoy!

(Be warned though, when I entered the key it said I was activating "Saints Row 2 (DE)" but I have no idea if the game will be in german then...)

NVM! All crappy german stuff

I played stealth so horribly. I need to replay it for that.

Most of that Dishonored game, it was High Chaos for me - and I had a blast w/ it. When doing combat, the game reminded me a lot of the Bioshock-style gameplay - with weapons and magic at your fingertips.

God, Dishonored was awesome...

Originally Posted by Stonekeep Not all the games comes with a steam code Not all the games are in english SR2 is censored

What have you bought?

damnit, missed another good deal.....it sucks working early in the morning and getting off at 3pm, cant do anything

Ace of Spades is virtually unplayable on my laptop, which is surprising considering what this laptop can play perfectly fine. Textures aren't loading fully and I'm getting probably 5 FPS. It's awful.

EDIT: Yep, even on the lowest graphic settings, it's unplayable. I wasted $3.74. Oh well.

do you need a high end pc to play the witcher 2? i want to get it but i dont know if my laptop will be able to handle it
