Steam Summer Sale

[Millya]

I've seen people being really excited about this. Do you guys have any game recommendations for stuff you've played that's going on sale that is really worth getting?

[Shaen]

There are quite a few really good games going on sale, but the one that sticks out the most for me is Bastion. It was an excellent game for $20 when it was new, but it's an absolute must-have for $3.74. Borderlands is also pretty awesome.

The sale is over now, but I picked up Warhammer 40k Space Marines and its a lot of fun.

I bought Terraria on Friday and spent all day Sat. playing it. What an addicting game! You do kinda have to research the game online though, if I just wandered around on my own it would get pretty confusing I think.

-Also bought Orcs Must Die, a fun defend-the-base kinda of game.

I picked up Bastion on your recommendation. I'll let you know what I think.

[Rhidach]

Bastion's on sale for the next four hours for $3.74 (USD). Really, really excellent game. A steal at that price!

I also grabbed the Arkham Asylum/City pack for $20. Been looking forward to playing those games for a while.

Okay, so results of the Steam sale:

I already had Terraria! I bought it a few months back. So here's what I wound up with after the sale:

-Borderlands
-Braid and some other indie games
-Bastion
-Mass Effect (1 and 2, I never played them)

And actually, regarding Borderlands, it was $15 for four licenses or $5 for just one so I bought four. I have two left to give to friends at the moment, which I MIGHT be persuaded to give to someone who wanted to play, but only if you want to play multiplayer with me some. I gave one license to my buddy Rades. It's not a game Voss would enjoy so I didn't bother giving one to him. ;p

[Shaen]

Voss doesn't like shooters? Maybe you can persuade him by mentioning that one of the characters can play as a tank.

I would love to play Borderlands with you Millya! I already have the game, so save that for someone else, but I loved that game once I finally broke down and bought it a while back. I still go back and play through a bit of it once in a while.

I can't play fps. It gives me nausea. It's too bad too because I used to love the genre (Doom 1) but, starting in Doom 2, my brain does not seem able to handle the quick movements.

[Shaen]

Ah, yeah that sucks. I'm that way with a lot of 3rd person over-the-shoulder games for some reason.

Is fallout 3 or New Vegas worth getting?

Yep. Worth getting just for the amazing rpg and story.

If you love the IP (as I do) than you'll have trouble quitting them to play anything else. =P



@Millya and Carlctrl: I got Borderlands a few months back. After playing it through a few times it got a little boring, but co-op mode sounds like it'd be a ton of fun.

[Shaen]

Co-op totally makes the game. I played through it on my own a few times with different characters, but the game is best played with other people.

[Tassager]

Just got Portal and Portal 2. When I get stuck, you guys are rescuing me. :-)
