Anyone in on the latest Steam sale?
 
Almost pulled the trigger to get Left for Dead 2 yesterday as it was like 11 or 12 bucks. Account issue prevented that BAH!! :damn:

Today tho I snagged EVE online for 2 bucks. Now that I have had to return the friends account it will be a way for me to dual fly again.

Anyone else grab some goodies?

Tropica 3: Absolute Power is looking even more tempting right now.

Eve Online for $2 :woot:

Still have to pay $15 a month afterwards. Though EVE is one of the games that is actually worth it...

Really? I can't stand EVE myself. Found it mind numbingly dull watching the ship fly itself and mine.

VirtualVikingX 06-28-10 10:57 AM

So hows EVE for a complete nub? I would sure like to know!

The game itself is slow, especially when starting out, but it makes up for it with depth that really isn't found in most other MMOs.

The main awesome thing about EVE is, though it isn't really apparent when you start playing, that the game's world is shaped by the players' actions. What players do in EVE actually effects the territory in the game, most of the market economy and pretty much everything else in the game, while in most other MMOs players just grind run the pre-set quests and instances.

I want to snag pacific storm, but low on money. :-?

I'm also still mad at steam for making me re-download a 7gb game for a 1.5MB patch...:down:

Spike88 06-28-10 07:33 PM

I'm looking at snagging the 2k Pack for Borderlands(and expansions) and the last expansion for Company of Heroes. I'm also looking at the Telltales Pack for all of the Sam&Max games.

Arclight 06-28-10 08:19 PM

HoI3 Semper Fi and Sword of the Stars Complete.

Considering (part of) Europa Universalis series atm... my bankaccount is suffering this summer. :lol:

I quite liked Eve when i played it couple years back but i was confused as hell at the gameplay im sure i was still in training area before i gave up - I completed some missions then had to go mine that's when it failed for me, the distance between you and any other player made me feel i was the only one in the universe also /wave or /dance doesn't work in this game :D Still I might give it another go

All of Introversion's games for $5 is also looking mighty promising...

onelifecrisis 06-29-10 07:09 AM

I agree that EVE has depth, but the amount of grinding required to see it is astonishing even by MMO standards.

This hurt me. About a week ago I bought Darwinia, Uplink, and Defcon for 24.98. :wah:
