People are getting really offended and mad at Jesus in the CDKeys thread.  And his second birthday is this Sunday.  Wish people could be nice for just a few days.  At least until Jesus goes back to space.  

 
Dragon Quest Heroes 2 looks kind of awesome. I guess the first one was a little weird and tower defense style sort of, but it looks like they threw that part of it away for the new one.

Not cool enough to drop $40+ on on GMG though.

You are triggering a whole new subset of CAG from outside this thread. Sadpanda would be proud.

To anyone that cares, HRK has some limited Golden Egg mystery egg games for 99 cents. I bought one because I am a sucker and was worried they would run out before I got my copy of Resident Evil. What I got was Sparkle 2 Evo, so probably mostly junk like GreenMan LootBoxes or whatever they are calling their unwanted keys these days.

 
A few tempting things on seedykeys.  I kept thinking about going back and catching up on Guild Wars 2 and that is a good price on Heart of Thorns but I didn't log in for so long that I'd probably have to spend a fortune to unlock the story content I missed so that makes it less tempting.  Anybody play it in the last year or so and have an opinion on how the game is these days?  Or if the story content is even interesting enough to play through?

Well, to honor Jesus, and because I didn't want you to be the only, I went ahead and dummybro'd a golden egg.

Total price was $1.39 because they charge a .40 fee for using Paypal.

I got....

Satellite Repairman. A cheapy game that hasn't been bundled yet and lowest price has been like $3.39 and it has positive reviews. Mild win I guess.

Edit:

No win. Big loss. Just saw you can get it in their build a bundle so I could have paid $3.1 and gotten 14 more games of my choice. Well played HRK, well played. How sad is it when even the real bundles won't take your game so you have to get bundled in HRK first?

It's also scientifically possible to walk through a wall(smart people say so!). Just keep trying until your atoms line up juuuust right and let me know how it goes.
Well, not really, unless you're The Flash, or someone who has similar control over the vibrations of his individual molecules. Even then, it's debatable as to whether moving through another solid object and remaining an intact organism is possible.

Is the 15 dollar tier of the Intergalactic Humble Bundle worth getting in your guys opinion? I know Offworld Trading company is supposed to be pretty stellar but no clue about the other games in that bundle.
My thoughts on this bundle (MysterD-style rant to follow):

It's mostly a Stardock-developed and/or -published bundle and given that, they've done something incredibly cheesy here. While it's generous to give away GalCiv I, it's mostly because, as with the fairly getting-on-in-years GalCiv II, they're not likely to move a lot of units (so to speak) at any price at this point in time. The cheesy thing is that they've included the ancient Trinity version of Sins of a Solar Empire, instead of the more recent Rebellion version which includes everything in the Trinity version, as well as a number of other improvements and new features. Honestly, Rebellion isn't exactly brand-spanking new either, so it wouldn't have killed them to include it instead. (On a slightly separate rant, Stardock literally never puts the soundtrack for this game on sale and $10 is an absurd price to pay.)

Other people have already pointed out the sleazy behavior of the PA: Titans dev, so I won't rehash any of that, but the BTA tier (if you got a ~$5 BTA) is still the cheapest way yet to get this "standalone expansion." Rebel Galaxy, of course, is available for much cheaper due to its previous bundling.

For what it's worth, the other item in the $1 tier, Space Hulk: Ascension, hasn't been cheaper than this, and if you like Warhammer 40K and TBS games, it's well-reviewed. It has 4 $8 DLCs, too, if that sort of thing bothers you.

The $15 tier consists of two TBS games that are relatively new, haven't been previously bundled, and whose lowest price hasn't been lower than $10. OTC is about to get a paid expansion and GalCiv III has a substantial number of expensive DLCs too (many of which are currently on sale at Gamersgate, FYI). Having said the negative things I previously said about Stardock, I will point out here that the company is very good at making turn-based strategy games. GalCiv II was pretty fun in my experience, and the third item in the series is well-reviewed. It also has the thing that I kept wishing Stardock would make for the second game, a single-player campaign.

TL;DR: It's pretty much only worth getting the $1 or $15 tier on this bundle. Go for the third tier if you like TBS games.

Good luck repairing those satellites.

 
Anyone have an opinion on the Lego games?  They are on a decent sale on bundlestars (roughly $3'ish each in the bundles) and they look kinda fun.  I enjoyed the Lego Movie if that matters.

I caved and got Modern Warfare 3 off cdkeys, came to $5.66 with the voucher.  I think I got MW2 from amazon awhile ago for $5 so .66 more for MW3 doesn't seem too bad.

The Lego games are fun casual platformers. I wouldn't recommend them playing solo so much, though. Multiplayer (local, which I think they all support) is a good time though.

MW3, on the other hand, I would never recommend. Probably the worst title out of the MW/Blops era, in my opinion. The story may be worth a run through, but the multiplayer is entirely hacked at this point. Last time I fired it up, every single match I ran into was hacked to oblivion (infinite magazines, all gold weapons, random floating, crazy stuff).

They're fun. Easy game play but with enough little tricks and secrets to stay interesting. The non-speaking Lego-style interpretations of movie scenes are cute. However, one is pretty much like the next so you really don't need a hundred of them. Pick a franchise you like and get a title from it and see how you like it -- the rest will be mechanically the same thing. Plus they're always on sale so it's not as though you can't grab more later if you like them.

I think they play fine solo but I can see the advantage of playing co-op.

I'm not. I've got Move or Die scheduled for tomorrow night lol. I suppose both could work out on the same night, unless Fox does Quake then my event is fucked
I forgot that was scheduled. Quake could also start earlier so if Fox or even me if Quake is garbage could play both with bros.

Edit: I talked to Spoder on Steam. Quake bronight TOMORROW (SAT) at 8PM EST.

Haha, how have I not seen "seedykeys" before?

Anyone else get a Warhammer Eternal Crusade gift and know why?
"If you were a paying customer before the launch of the progression restricted free version, this is our thank you to you:
20,000 RTC ($20) that you get once when you log in after Content Update 1.3
A Steam giftable Squadron Edition with 25,000 RTC ($20) as soon as it’s possible with Steam
The Venerable Weapon set is no longer available, unique to you
4 x 4000 Faction RTC when you log in, as free launch weekend exposed some glass roofs
The Imperium Edition changed to a DLC so you can buy it once despite owning the game, giving 50% off 4 DLCs and 25K RTC ($100 at $50)"

So it's a bonus they're giving people that "owned" the game before it went f2p

I'm too drunk to comprehend that Spoder. F2P = hard drive space freed up.

Yeah, I do.

The most important thing is liking the series on which it's based. It's true that they largely play the same, but some of them are a lot more linear.

- The best, in my opinion, are the Marvel games. Both of those have a huge NYC hub with lots to do. The variety of characters and the ability to fly makes it even better.

- Jurassic World has a few decent hubs, each representing one of the films. You also get to use LEGO dinos -- win.

- I like Batman, so I enjoyed all 3 games. The latter two are less linear, which is nice.

- LOtR nicely represents the trilogy, but the open world has some annoying puzzles and a "crafting" system that made me want to pull my hair out. Still, if you're a fan it's fun enough.

- Harry Potter is decent too, if you like the stories. It's my least favorite of the LEGO games but it isn't bad at all.

- LEGO Movie... haven't played it.

They are fun to co-op, but if you choose to play it alone you won't miss a thing. You just get to jump back and forth between characters, which is effortless with a controller -- use one.

Jesus in Space is the best Wisdom Tree game I've never played,
 
Lego stuff
I ended up getting Jurassic Park, hobbit, and Lego movie. I might end up getting the super hero bundle too because why not, of all of them Jurassic park looked the most fun so I'll jump into that first.

The Easter 5% code works on these too if anyone else is interested. It knocks the super hero bundle down to about $2.70 per game.
 
Some great deals on those Lego games @ Bundlestars. Unfortunately, I can't bring myself to buy from them because I'm sitting on a crap-ton of steam wallet. And I can't bring myself to buy those games on Steam using my wallet funds because it's so much more expensive than buying them on BS.

Don't be dismayed if you find yourself experiencing LEGO fatigue near the end of each game, particularly if you're a completionist because there's an extreme amount of hidden stuff that requires repeated playthroughs of each level to obtain. And, as mentioned, the basic formula is the same for each LEGO game, the difference being the setting, story, and the characters.

I generally complete one and then wait a while before my LEGO enthusiasm recharges. But I do always go back to them because I find them to be charming and their simple puzzles relaxing.

One final thing: it's nearly universally accepted that all of the DLC is mostly worthless. For the most part it consists of a handful of characters. Each game already has 40-50 (or more) unlockable characters, so unless you're absolutely in love with the IP and must have them all, you can safely skip.

... Except the Marvel Avengers DLC. It does include new levels as well as characters. Basically, the Season Pass plus Antman will get you all of the story levels and more characters than you can shake a stick at. Skip the Civil War DLC because it's a handful of crappy skins.

Of course, if you're like me, you'll buy them all anyway out of compulsion. :whistle2:

Fixed? Doesn't seem to allow me to apply code

Those build your own bundle prices on the LEGO games at Bundle Stars are a tremendous, tremendous deal. LEGO Avengers, Jurassic Park and Batman 3 at $3.33 each? Tremendous. I'll be buying those to play with IvankaCat, DonaldCat Jr and CountEriculaCat. Well maybe Eric can watch while we play, his hand-eye coordination isn't that great.

As mentioned the EASTER5 discount code also works.

So although this lets you put the items into your cart and see the discount it will not allow to check out. Not a huge deal since the mix and match DO work with the code just not the big bundle

Mix and macth make games $3.16 with discount

Super Hero Bundle: $2.99

You just have to make 2 separate purchases.

Also you can pick up the force awakens lego star wars game on cd keys to for $3.74 OOS (but the game with season pass is $7.49)
