[xStevooo]

Anyone got Torchlight 2? What's your thoughts? Got Diablo 3 just want something similar, is it as grindy?

Is Rome II worth it for 30 dollars?

[Deleted]

I would highly recommend Torchlight 2 if you also enjoy similar games like Diablo 3. Check out helpful user reviews at the bottom of http://store.steampowered.com/app/20...snr=1_4_4__617

Regarding the daily deals, I would say there are some great sales today (Civ. V, Portal 2, TL 2, Metro, Farcry 3); the only problem is that I have them all

[Lucetia]

Already have a few of these. Looking at maybe upgrading my Civ 5 for $5 for when I want to play it I'll have pretty much all the DLC (minus Brave New World I think). I tried Torchlight I and there was just some things that bugged me and friend said I should try the second one so I might. Portal 2 was another one I was debating.

Already got Just Cause 2 and from what I've played it's decent just haven't had much time for it. Fez I haven't played much to determine what I think of it yet.

Is Rome II worth it for 30 dollars?

No. It still has major flaws, it is unclear if they will ever get fixed. They are on patch 7 now, which was their ultra patch they hyped and made a rallypoint for:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oTdn...B-c1NDYPHiznWQ

And that patch was actually abysmal and broke more than it helped. The performance gains where done the cheapest possible way: They reduced the graphics on all levels but ultra.

Plus there will be even more DLC.
Just wait for it to be patched and get a goty edition then.

[Halicia]

Ooh. Wolf among Us turned up. I *highly* recommend.

[Tuma]

Should I buy Civilization V Gold Edition + Brave New World now or do you think it'll go lower in the winter sale?

it doesn't have much lower to go, tbh. i could see BNW going from 66% off to 75% off, but thats... a buck ? even if civ5 went to 80% off across the board (which i'm dubious about) thats pocketchange. its a good buy if you don't already own it.

Unless they make a platinum edition that has bnw like gold has gods and kings it wont be much cheaper. If you want it and see yourself having some freetime before christmas, get it.

I definitely won't be playing it before the new year so I guess I'll just wait for the Winter sale and buy it then.

Really looking forward to this one, but I'll buy it when there's some more episodes out. I hate having to wait between episodes! Love The Walking Dead to death though, really want this one

[Lucetia]

Updated the chart with Round 2 sales and formatted it appropriately.

Only game I see I'm interested in this round is Deadpool. I'd love to get the game but not for $30.00. I know it was 25% off during the Summer Sale and was hoping it'd be lower like most of the titles did. So guess it's back to waiting on it.

75% off here O.o

You are right. For some reason Steam likes to delay things regardless of me spamming the page for minutes on end. Now trying to decide if $9.99 is good or if I should keep waiting. Argh.

Yeah i find it applies a discount but it can take upto 5 minutes for it to completely update.

[Razael]

have you started playing state of decay yet? if so how is it? I'm trying not to give in to this sale but that was one of the games I Was looking forward to purchasing.

I find it quite decent. You get engaged in it quite easily , and lose track of what you should be doing with so many tasks and "events" popping up for you to do.
I'm 5 hours in, not even out of the first major town yet. Out of many zombie games i've played, its the one that best simulates a zombie outbreak survival scenario IMO. If you watch the Walking Dead tv show , this game is so like it. You collect materials, gather new survivors (or expel them from your group if they create rifts), upgrade your house/garrison/bunker with med bays, sleeping bags etc, your characters get fatigued, need to eat, rest, they get injured, you can call supply runs on stuff you find , along with the main storyline which is nothing groundbreaking so far, but fits.

Overall , so far, its not the best game i ever played, but its proving enjoyable and worth the money and time i'm investing in.

Nvm didn't see you updated the prices. I should have refreshed the page sooner. XP

lol no worries. Figures the one time I'm at my PC when sales switch over is when they are somewhat wrong and I have to reupdate. I should just go back to not being on the PC for a hour after they start.

I know, right? That's probably my most wanted game, but it's ''only'' at 33% off, I'm thinking about waiting for the Winter Sale; more time for more episodes (hopefully), and more of a chance for a bigger discount (not likely).

Really looking forward to this one, but I'll buy it when there's some more episodes out. I hate having to wait between episodes! Love The Walking Dead to death though, really want this one

Yeah...likewise.

[Tuma]

I just bought:

- TES V: Skyrim Legendary Edition for £10 (~ $16) (Game.co.uk) - Choose Download
- The Last Remnant for 3$ (Amazon)
- Tomb Raider for $10 (Amazon)
- Civ 5 Gold Edition + Brave New World for $20 (Amazon)

I don't think Skyrim LE (-72%), Tomb Raider (-80%), or Civ 5 GE + BNW (-75%) would ever go any lower than they already are.

So if you want to buy any of these games then buy from the websites I provided above.

If you are trying to buy from Amazon from outside the US, then all you have to do is provide a US address and you'll be able to purchase and activate the games on Steam without any problems.
