Still in early access, so I wouldn't play it even if someone gifted it to me.

 

 

Wasteland 2 does look interesting, I like post apocalyptic environments but I don't do early access. I will only pay money for a finished game.

 

I paid for Early Access to Loadout and then it became Free to Play. Bastards.

I have to say there have been some radical and unexplainable results in this whole thing, 4 teams within 1K of each other and one team just speedballing ahead?

 

Isn't this the second time this has happened?

Yeah, Purple team was 80k ahead of everyone else on Day 1. 

I think it has to do with people hoarding cards, but never making badges (since that gives points) until things like this happen. Though I can't remember if we've ever had this type of competition before. *shrugs*

I mean, if one guy bought $7,000 worth of cards (like the highest leveled people have before), and crafted them all on a single day, that could seriously skew the scores. I don't know. I'm just guessing.

That potential scenario reminds me of development teams who make large 'donations' to their own Kickstarter. :D

I don't understand why STEAM can't back peddle considering they have such a large market, what other option do people have? Uplay sales? No. so what is the big deal. Especially if they can find a way to tell people why they are doing it, to save their longterm business, then i'm sure people would understand. Also its unlikely that another company would take their place due to the fact they they would run into the problems Valve is having at the moment. Please explain.

Got 5 games for exactly 30€ so far

Batman arkham city

Hitman absolution

All are pretty big titles which is great because i kind of wanted to play all of them for a while now. I already had skyrim on the 360 but that was before modding became popular xP

Cant wait to see whats up next, am still hoping for portal 2 and metro to go on sale

Some good titles for both of you, if you don't already own that group of titles they're great value.

After Hitman I now got Metro: Last Light, Metal Gear Rising and Sleeping Dogs for 20€. Nice! This sale has been pretty successful so far. Hmm, Tomb Raider also looks interesting for 5 bucks, is it worth expanding this years budget a bit?

IMO yeah, it's a good game for the price and today's sales have some good items.

Purchased Metro: :Last Light Complete, Sleeping Dog Complete and The Wolf Amung Us.

 

But WTH is up with the South Park price? Its been as low as £15 in the UK so I thought Steam would at least go that low. Its currently £26.79 on sale.

And in just 5 years I could play it with Tress FX enabled, when GPUs finally have enough power for it!

Yeah, that's weird. 33% off is not amazing, it's actually pretty awful. Not to mention that I won't play it anyway because Ubisoft decided to censor the EU version for some reason.....
