Let's talk about Stream and buy mountains of games - Page 202 - Video Games

All of the HOMM3 talk has made me want HOMM6. But at $20 and the complete at $32.49. Gonna have to wait some to see if it drops more than the 35% it currently is.

Check reviews to be sure but I think HoMM6, like Disciples 3, suffers from "outsourced to rando Russian developer" syndrome. I haven't played it and don't really intend to.

IGN gave it an 8, Metactric a 77. Said that it was very bad when it was released by its been patched up since then.

As a diehard HOMM3 fan let me tell you,

HOMM6 is a steaming pile of ****. Don't buy it

Seems like I may have F'd up but I'm guessing it will come around again.

Also, Puzzle Quest II is 75% off and has been - is it worth waiting to see if it goes on a larger sale? The answer is probably no since it's $2.50 and so what could I save, $.50? But, I thought I'd ask since it seems one should always wait unless it's a flash/community/daily deal.

BNW includes all the game play changes from GnK. The benefit to buying GnK is getting more Civs and scenarios. For $5 more I'd say its worth it to get gold instead of vanilla.

BNW just finished its flash sale. Should show up in the daily at some point.

fml.
Couple questions on the current list
sniper 2 any good?
chivalry - is this any good as single player?
ANNO 2070 any good?

just cause 2 @ 2.99 = must buy?
darksiders 2 @ 9.99= must buy?
FTL @ 2.49 = must buy?
XCOM @ 9.99 = must buy?

CoD BLOPS2 @ 29.99 is NOT a must buy?
ANNO 2070 @ 14.99 is NOT a must buy?
Far Cry 3 @ 23.99 is NOT a must buy?

Thanks for the info, being able to just get BNW and saving $ by not getting G&K too will make buying something on Steam at not 75% off more palatable

As games, I give a thumbs up to Anno 2070 ( warning, uplay DRM with always online, it's pretty AIDS ), just cause 2, FTL and XCOM.

The rest is meh, as far as I am concerned

Just Cause 2

X-COM:EU, FTL, JC2, Walking Dead. are must buys at those prices imo.
First Darksiders PC port was a steaming pile of ****, so there is no price cheap enough for me to buy Darksiders 2.

I don't own any of the $10+ games currently on sale, but only one I'd consider getting is Anno 2070.

Also going to pick up Legend of Grimrock at $2.50 or whatever it is simply due to it having mod support at nexusmods.

Thanks for lookin' out, didn't even notice that. Seems Steam could really upgrade their system so that when you're on a game you already own (or anything associated with the game you already own) it highlights the things associated with that game that you own/don't own for easy scanning. But, I mean, their store has always been really good imo overall (lol not handling the bandwidth for the sale though but w/e, I'm not surprised).

FTL, TWD, Just Cause 2, and XCom now in my library. I may have liked it better when Steam was failing and not letting me purchase stuff.

Pretty sure I'm gonna pick up PQII also, loved the first one and never even realized their was a legit sequel (heard Galactix or whatever it was called sucked). Doubt they're gonna have a flash deal on a game that old/obscure so I'm gonna go for it at 2.50 when I pick up Fez.

Now I just need a daily/flash deal on Rouge Legacy and this sale will be a great success! Hopefully Super House of Dead Ninjas and Bleed also, but I'll prob pick all of them up last day regardless.
