2012 Steam Summer Sale: DEAD!

[Craig234]

how's the microsoft flight game?

From reviews, it's really beautiful scenery, but nothing moves. No cars, waves, birds, etc.

I picked up the package, though, first time I've seen any discount, much less 2/3.

Reviews also say that this is a more casual game - that there are removed features like radio communication, other planes, etc.

 

[Craig234]

I thought it was supposed to be free!

It is free for one island in Hawaii and two planes. More locations and planes are money.

i downloaded the initial free game. its not very fun.

 

[SirFelixCat]

Been looking at it for a while. How does it play and what do you thing of it?

It's boardgame-ish. Haven't gotten to it yet. Will report back when I do.

 

[Craig234]

I'm just curious how it would look in 1080P versus the sucky PS3 graphics

Article says PC graphics are much better. The video they post didn't seem that much better though.

Hmmm, SS3, Hitman series or SR3? Thoughts? Saints seems a lot like Just Cause 2 which I have, But Sam and Hitman are a bit of an unknown to me.

 

[Craig234]

There are parts of the hitman game that sound fun, but I don't like the killing, sooo haven't picked that one up. Same with a game like 'sniper elite 2'.

I'd say:

- Serious Sam is a ball, but a little goes a long way and the original 1 and 2 are really cheap, so just play those for fun and only get 3 after you played them and want more.

- Hitman series - reviews say a bit uneven but pretty good - and they are cheap, so if you want that gameplay, only $6 for the pack.

- Lot of prairse for Saints' Row 3 - as above, if you like the gameplay, everyone who got it seems to say it's a lot of fun (I got it but haven't played yet).

Best price yet; get the season pack for $5 while it's cheap also.

[Aikouka]

Not sure what to vote for... I think I'll go with Just Cause 2, because I don't own some of the DLC already!

 

[Gunslinger08]

Am I missing something? The Monkey Island bundle costs more than the individual games? Was considering them since everyone loves the games. Can anyone compare them to something else?

 

[Gunslinger08]

Maybe it's just the iPhone app showing the wrong price. It's $8.99.

whats the deal with the walking dead game? no gameplay in the trailers, it looks like a movie made out of a video game.

Walkind Dead is a point and click adventure game not a fps so it doesn't need inverted aiming. The little action the game has are in the form of qte's (quickly tap one button several times followed by another to end the qte) and mousing over something and clicking a button to perform an action. In no way does the game need inverted aiming. Still, the mouse and keyboard is a bit clunky in the game so I'd highly recommend using an xbox 360 controller if you have one.

Also, I'd agree with one of the earlier posters highly recommending the game. It must have already sold quite well since they're coming out with a second season.

It's sort of like an interactive comic book. It's very well done though and you have to make some tough choices that effect the way the game plays out. For example, near the end of episode one you have to make a choice of who to help. The person you didn't help is dead for the rest of the series.

I got the 13 dlc's that I did not have for SR3..$10.20

That is all I wanted actually....anything else that I get will just be icing on the cake

Maybe will snag some $4.99 stuff, if it looks good.

I want the stuff that is 75% off

 

[AlexAL]

Fingers crossed for GTA. Haven't even played IV.

 

[maniacalpha1-1]

Endless Space not on sale? What devilry is this?

 

[zokudu]

How good are the monkey island games?

 

[KaOTiK]

Good enough to buy for $3.74

 

[KaOTiK]

Just saw that they also included the Tales of Monkey Island Complete Pack for $8.74 75% off

 

[Craig234]

Hm, I should hold off on Arcania+Guide for $12.49... given the RPG list owned waiting to play includes Gothic 2 and 3, Risen, Skyrim, Witcher 1 and 2, Divine Divinity 2 for some.
