Wow v4 didn't even last a month, did it?

The old thread was starting to smell funky.

New thread smells fresh!

I posted this on the Gamersgate thread but since some of the crowd here may not check there regularly figured I'd repost here.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI is on sale as a daily on Gamersgate at 66% off for $6.78 ($5.76 with the IGN discount).

It does not Steam activate and in fact Steam doesn't even sell it at all, but I figured it may be of interest to some people who like strategy games. According to Deals4Downloads, the cheapest it has been is this price ($6.78) on December 21, 2010 so doesn't seem like it goes on sale much.

Anyhow, I ended up buying it. I did review well there and I don't think many if any other digital download retailers in the English speaking world sell it. I'll try and give it a quick spin after work later but not sure if I will be able to post thoughts before the daily sale ends since they are on Euro time.

I didn't think we needed a new thread yet, but then while posting last night I was starting to get pauses followed by overflow screens while the system tried to double-post, so yeah. HOORAY NEW THREAD!

You're quite welcome. I'm also glad to see that I'm not the only one who's played it. Though as someone pointed out in the last few pages of the v4 thread, I should have referred to it as a virtual novel rather than a dating sim.

I love Romance of three Kingdoms. For anyone who hasn't played them they are based on the book of the same name, and basically the plot of every dynasty warriors game. But the game play is like a much more improved and fleshed out Nobunaga's Ambition.

Though be warned if your not a fan of strategy games with a ton of depth where the tutorial sections is vital, you should proably avoid this one. It is basically a feudal Chinese 4x.

Ya plus nice to see the game isn't like how I initially thought it was going to be and instead actually promotes treating everyone equally. Definitely backlogged now

I just noticed Tower Wars is releasing in a few hours. http://store.steampowered.com/app/214360/

It's supposed to be $9.99 with a 10% discount at launch. Looks kind of interesting. Did anyone get in on the beta?

Technically this is V6 since V4 had two threads. Not that it matters.

That was V4-2, it doesn't count.

You forgot
*Do you have a fetish for handicapped women?

Anyways, I've put an hour into Sleeping Dogs before I went to work this morning. Runs really well (using hi-res texture & forced AA/AS, however I have a high-end system), but really hits my video card and the fans get rather loud. Not even Skyrim on Ultra with a ton of visual mods hits it as hard.

Liking what I'm playing and it seems to be a more focused GTA with some Yakuza in it. However, I think I'm going to need to try out a controller. Keyboard and mouse is a tad on the difficult side to control when it comes to sprinting (chases) and driving.

I can't say I didn't see that coming in some form or another. Though given this being a Steam thread, Episode 1 or 2 would have been more fitting.

Originally Posted by Sophita Has that new thread smell, any guess how long it will take for V6?

Haha I was wondering the same thing!

Cheapy said that the new format would allow us to have larger threads no problems so I feel like we should test the waters with this version and see how big the serves can handle now.

Will the handicapped women DLC be in the Skyrim GOTY edition during the winter sale?

Never thank a mod.

Even if he's just pulled your son out of a burning building, you're obligated to glare at him as he hands you your son.

I don't know but I just want to say that just because one has a preference for Akaviri women it does not make one a fetishist.

It does, however, make one a necromancer since that race has long since died out. It would also be rather difficult to find such a corpse since they've apparently all been eaten by snake people.

(sorry, total Elder Scrolls lore nerd inside joke here)

Thanks for the video, know now to pass on it. Multiplayer focused tower defense seems like a really weird niche. I guess main thing will be how active the game is and how easy it is to find a game in it.

Also in celebration of the new thread, Corgi in a water park!

There, fixed it for you!

Tower Wars looks really good I think...

Sounds kind of like that Stare Dad meme to me.



Does participating in the Counterstrike: GO Beta give any tangible benefits? I've seen a crap ton of Beta invites on Steamgifts, so I was just wondering if people are just extremely desperate to play/get rid of some CS a week in advance or is there an actual purpose/reason to enter these last minute giveaways?

I have a fetish, it's called no steam no sale. I only find steam games attractive. Think of me what you will but your drm free games just don't do it for me. Origin is a cruel mistress through. So I do stray from my fetish but it's mainly so I think of myself as normal.
