Games on SALE!

[GasBandit]

Only series the girlfriend and I have played through together and she generally dislikes shooters.

Borderlands 2 was the last game I played with Pauline. We were in the middle of the Torgue DLC when she finally got too sick to play anymore.

 

[bhamv3]

I played through BL1 solo. I agree that it was a mediocre experience single-player. I can also see how it would've been improved by playing with someone else.

Now I'm wondering if the next borderlands is what my brother's working on. He's all secretive about it, but says it should be obvious if you follow gearbox at all...

I think Borderlands is the only series Gearbox has that's in any way successful. Battleborn was trounced by Overwatch, Aliens: Colonial Marines flopped hard, Duke Nukem Forever wasn't worth the wait...

Unless it's We Happy Few? That one's coming out soon, right? Are Gearbox just publishing it or are they contributing to its development too?

Well... they did make a couple decent expansions for a little game called "Half Life."

Yes, nearly two decades ago.

Yes, nearly two decades ago.

Two decades, three is greater than two -----> Half-Life 3 confirmed.

Bundle Stars has Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons for $1.49, it's a fantastic story and a steal at that price.

Witcher 3 GOTY edition (with all the DLC) is now $20 on steam, so I'm finally buying it.

[Narration] That was the last time anyone heard from the Gas Bandit. Some say he still roams the lands, doing Witcher contracts, and boffing witches.

 

[bhamv3]

I'm interested now too.

Just to confirm, playing the first two is not necessary, right?

It's not necessary, but I would recommend playing 2 because it is a good game.

Vermintide's on sale again for $7.50 thru 10/26. Also free to play until then, if you just wanna try it out.

(copied and pasted from a thread on r/GameDeals)

Honestly, getting Hand of Fate is really tempting to me. As if my list of shame weren't long enough already.

 

[Far]

Hand of Fate is really cool and pretty replayable. Armello is decent enough as well. Don't have much experience with the others.

 

[GasBandit]

Steam's been trying REAL HARD to get me to buy Hurtworld for the last year or so, but the gameplay looks just a skosh too low rent/asset flipper/"Generic store/value-brand Rust" to me...

Civilization III is free via Humble Bundle right now. I don't think I've ever played that one.

Civ 3 was really good. I enjoyed it back in the day. Some of the visuals will look dated today (GIVE ME MORE SWORDS YOUR EXCELLENCY THAT I MAY SHEATH THEM IN THE BEATING HEARTS OF YOUR ENEMIES!), but it'll probably always be my favorite.

I was more partial to 4. But all of them have been good...until 6. I don't like 6.

I don't remember exactly what it was, but I remember 4 changed something, and I was all "I wish this was still how it was in 3."

They've been patching a lot of things about 6 lately because a lot of people felt the same way.

 

[Null]

I liked the little I played of 3. I got 3 and 4 in a bundle with 5. I really really like 5.

 

[GasBandit]

One thing that I think changed from 3 to 4 was 3 used squares on the map and 4 used hexes. Hexagon-maps are a love it or hate it kinda thing, and I prefer squares even if they aren't as "realistic" for traveling.

 

[AshburnerX]

I don't remember exactly what it was, but I remember 4 changed something, and I was all "I wish this was still how it was in 3."

My guess? Cultural domination. In Civ 3, you literally didn't need to do ANYTHING to acquire enemy territory; if you had enough culture getting pumped out, cities would dump their civ's and join you automatically. Dunno if that was still in 4, but I know it was gone by 5.

 

[fade]

I downloaded this, but the last Civilization I played was 1 back in like 1993.

You...you prefer SQUARES?!

Wasn't someone looking for a sale on the Wolfenstein games? Well you can get both, together, for 20 bucks.

Was that 3 - 4, or 4-5?

 

[GasBandit]

Was that 3 - 4, or 4-5?

... well, now I'm uncertain.

 

[mikerc]

Looking at the screenshots of 4 on Steam I'd say it was 4-5.

 

[GasBandit]

I also want to say they changed something about combat that made it a lot more difficult to take a city in 4, but I don't remember what that change was.

 

[Far]

Between 4 and 5 they stopped you from stacking units I believe. That's where my interest kinda waned.
