Sully907 Posted July 10, 2011 miffy495 said: The thing that is still taunting me a little bit is Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. I have the other two on PC but have yet to play them, and having just played 4 AC games 7 months ago (the 3 main and the PSP) I can't justify getting the PC version for $20 this soon. I'll pick it up when I'm going through the series again in a year or so, should be cheaper by then. That said, I'm glad I held out on $15 DoW Retribution in favour of getting $7.50 DoW Retribution today. There have been some pretty nice things on this sale, but they've mostly been little indie things. I grabbed Cargo: The Quest For Gravity and Inside a Star-Filled Sky today, and have found a lot of love in my heart for Jamestown, and Bit.Trip Runner. I also got myself Fallout: New Vegas (with all DLC), Frozen Synapse, and Prototype, which I've been wanting to try for a while for ridiculous destructive bullshit. Feels like a pretty good sale for me. I resisted the siren call of Dragon Age 2 and Shogun 2, both of which I'm sure I would enjoy, but don't think I would get more than $15-20 worth of enjoyment out of them. Resisting and saving a bit of money on those felt pretty good.Also, anyone discover games that they weren't sure they'd like that turned out to be pretty good thanks to the special achievements? I had both Swords and Soldiers HD and and A.R.E.S. already because they came in packs with other games that I quite wanted. They both had what seemed like fairly easy achievements for the summer camp activities, so I installed them and went for it. Turns out, both pretty good games. I now intend to play a fair bit more of them. Those achievements are a pretty good idea. I got 21 all told, which I cashed in for 7 prizes, which turned out to be all that I cared about. Not a great sale for big name games, but a really damn good one for indies and discovering other games that I already had but hadn't thought to play. I'm very happy with this one. What I would reccomend to you is to give AC1 a try, but if it frustrates you, just watch the rest of the story cutscenes on youtube or something, AC2 is one of the biggest jumps in quality I've ever seen in a sequel, the story is fun, and by the time you finish it, you will be able to find a nice deal on brotherhood probably.

miffy495 Posted July 11, 2011 What? Right there in that post I mentioned that I've finished AC1. In fact, I've finished it twice. Once when it first came out, and then again last November when I was replaying all of the others in anticipation of playing Brotherhood (which I've also finished on the 360). I freaking love those games, and think that AC1 is still pretty good, just not as good as the later ones. Hell, I've beaten the PSP one twice. What I was planning to do though is replay the games again on PC before I play Revelations or whatever the next is called, especially since the PC versions have a tradition of including the paid-for DLC of the console ones for free. Since I got my PC copies of AC1 and 2 for less than $10 each, I'm waiting for the same for Brotherhood, then replaying the whole shebang. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

K-bohls! Posted July 11, 2011 I bought Assassins Creed Brotherhood and am not sure if I like it or not. I liked AC2 and even AC1 to an extent. The game play in AC2: The Brotherhood is great, I like buying shops and shooting guys with crossbows but after 13 hours I have gotten bored of that. At least there is the great story to string me along... oh wait the story is absolute garbage, I despise the future animus stuff, and the story of Ezio really took a drop in quality. I didn't seem to mind the story in 2(up until the end) and enjoyed it in 1(up until the end, again) but Brotherhood is just downright stupid. I felt like an absolute idiot when lady riding on a horse said "Viva Assassino" or when the asshole British guy is being an asshole British guy, its so childish. I guess I am just a e-hipster or something. So I wish I spent by $20 elsewhere but at least I know I wont be getting Revelations so that's money saved, somehow.

brkl Posted July 12, 2011 I didn't buy a damn thing. Nothing appealing enough or cheap enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonCole Posted July 12, 2011 I bought a lot of smaller stuff that I was marginally interested and the hideously low prices roped me in. I've already had a lot of fun with Bit.Trip.Beat and Swords and Soldiers HD, also looking forward to check out Sanctum and Terraria. Besides that, Darksiders was impossible to pass up for $5.

elmuerte Posted July 12, 2011 I bought Portal 2, but even at 25 euros I still think I payed too much. Also bought Terraria for 2.5 euros. Not sure if I like it yet, couldn't figure out how to build a house (watched a tutorial afterwards). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SometingStupid Posted July 30, 2011 Well I found two games of particular interest very cheap on http://www.greenmangaming.com/ Magicka is £3.97 if you haven't got it/actually want it. And Bioshock is heading the main page at only £4.49, which is tempting me because I'm a n00b that hasn't played it yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoc Posted July 30, 2011 Well I did neither, I got alpha protocol and found that it doesn't work any which way on y system without a lot of uninstalling and reinstalling to maybe get it to run... so I'll put a pin on that itch for awhile. Capsized looks alright, but just doesn't gel for me. Ah well, back to trying to love civ 5, so maybe I'll just go play civ 4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
