I actually prefer GOG cuz theres no DRM and you can just download one big install file and use it as you like.

But their selection is shit by comparison. They have some nice older stuff I like but for the most part its meh.

If they could get Elvira 2 or Stone Prophet I'd be very happy.

There is overlap in selection (like, say, Legend of Grimrock). They have a request form.

Is any of the 'awesomenauts' DLC worth it? That's be the reason to vote for it, otherwise Bastion to help people get it at the cheapest price I remember.

Fallen enchantress had been on sale with all other stardock stuff, just a small bump from 50 to 66% as a daily item.

Yes, but Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes (which is a different game) has only been at 25% until now.

I enjoy it but it has issues. I personally play for the minecraft aspect but with combat versus other people so in that regards it is fun. I tend to destroy everything I can as a miner and don't even actively search out other people lol.

That being said, it has balance issues between the classes. 90% of the people play as a sniper because the rifle 1 hit kills you. The player base has gotten pretty small and there is usually a few servers up but only a few that have a lot of people in them.

It is a fun game for what it is though and if you don't take it seriously and just play to screw around and have fun it is fun. Some of the maps are really cool and look great imo.

I bought it during the holiday sale for $5 and got my money's worth from it. It is hard to recommend or not recommend it.


How do you seem to have knowledge about every game ever made?

I'm looking at the website right now but how is this game played? Is it like a fantasy RTS? I'm seeing that it says 4x strategy, so is it like Civ where you play over a timeline?

Yeah, it is a fantasy version of Civ basically but with much deeper combat and unit creation/customization and with quests.

Basically you take your armies that are led by heroes around the map and make settlements and build/expand cities and do research to unlock various things. Your heroes can come across quests to do as well as combat various monsters/enemies. Combat goes to another screen and is turn based based on each individual unit.

You can customize and create your own unit types as you unlock various things from research as well and can upgrade older units to the newer stuff if you wish.

Your heroes in this one have their own talent/stat tree.

Very good game if you like this genre of stuff. I've sunken many hours into the original Fallen Enchantress and will with heroes as well (just started playing it recently).

Same here, I've been surprisingly conservative with this sale. Of course, a lot of that is due to the fact that I already own most of these games. I'll buy the Strike Suit mega bundle if it goes for 85% off but that's all I can really think of at the moment.

Been using my spare change to shop for trading cards.

I was playing Dead Island Riptide and got my first foil card drop today. Listed it for $4.00 and it sold within minutes.

There wasn't any sales history yet so I wasn't sure how high I could price it.

You should have listed it for much higher and slowly brought it down. You lost out there.

This sale has been awesome for me. I haven't played too many big titles over the past few years and now a lot of them are $4.99 or less.

I should have enough to hold me over until the xmas sale at which point I'll probably get some titles that are $10 now, for $5 then.

KaOTik did a better job at describing it than I could (especially since I haven't played it yet!), but if you are curious there are quite a few "Let's Play" videos on youtube that do a pretty good job of showing the game in action. To me, the inclusion of RPG elements and questing into the normal 4X stuff (cities, research etc.) looks pretty neat.

Yea, I agree but I wanted a quick sale before more listings started showing up.

Other games' foil cards have gone as low as a $1. I think $4 was a good compromise.

$4 sounds good to me. I got a couple foil cards and wasn't able to sell either of them for over $2.

Shows 85% ($.300) if it wins for me. I voted for Bastion even though it's been on sale 100 times before...I'm finally ready to give it a spin.

Yeah I knew they would fix it eventually, but that one lasted for about two hours

Haven't added everything up yet, but I've really done well the last few sales regarding restraint.

I got FTL, Scribblenauts, Reus, Orcs Must Die 2 so far. I'll pick up Gunpoint when I get home, and I think I'll get Monaco when it goes on sale (it was an option for the voting, so I'll assume it will drop in price at some point).

Before the sale I got Arkham City, Sonic Racing Transformed, and Civ 5 Gold upgrade.

It's really nice to know I bought all of that from my card sales (I also sold some Dota 2 and TF 2 items) and only about $7 of my own money.

Thanks for the reply, it looks like something that's right up my alley. I love Civ type games and fantasy rpg. Combining the two seems like it'll be a fun experience.

On a side note. I bought Kerbal Space Program and wow it's an amazing time sink if any of you guys like sandbox creation games and have a passing interest in space travel.

War of the Roses... not sounding great, fair quality high learning curve. Competition of Chivalry and Warband. Hm.
