I'm tempted to pick up Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity for $10, but I already own the retail and the first xpac from Impulse... does anyone know, is it possible to give away my keys to someone else? Or they are mine forever even if I want to double-dip on the whole thing for Steam?

[zkylon]

Never failed me before. All the games I own (100+) have entertained me within an hour :)

I don't know how consistent that rule is for you, but most people dread the first hour of Deus Ex, and the ride they'd be missing out if they just decided to drop it there.

[rohlfinator]

Was hoping for a deeper discount on Driver SF :( Guess I'll have to wait till the summer sale now.

It's $7.50 on getgamesgo.com, but I don't think it registers on Steam. I'm debating picking it up for that price. They seem pretty reputable but I've only used them for Steamworks games in the past.

Give it a proper chance. The Anno series of games are fairly deep and complex. They introduce the concepts of the game to you slowly so as not to overwhelm you. 30 minutes is absolutely not enough to pass judgement on the game.

Yea I'm aware of that, which was why I was hopeful that Ubi would put it at the same price on Steam. I've used the site before but I'd rather have it on Steam so I'll wait. Not like there's any shortage of stuff to play in the mean time.

[Relax.MX]

Im playing Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter right now...(i just finished the first level) mmm my first impressions is fighting against the controls and the IU...and the game look..old, really old..

Longshot but a good mod for the game?

[MrNyarlathotep]

Tropico 3 is 1) real time and 2) a strategy based game. I understand that there is no combat. I was opposing it to turn based games like Civ.

That doesn't really make it an RTS.

That's like saying The Binding of Isaac is an FPS because the First Person you see you Shoot.

[Aselith]

It's not like that at all.

[bonesmccoy]

Aw crap, just broke my no games until the Summer Sale rule.

Anno 2070 just HAD to go on a daily deal today.

Tropico 3 as an RTS? Well, only if in the RTS games you play you just build a base and collect resources.

[Sarcasm]

Looking at Anno..so the base is being sold for 24 bucks or so..wih packs on the side.

What are the packs anyways?

[ChoklitReign]

Will the indie games go on sale on Steam or do we have to buy them from another size and use their keys?

[Syphon Filter]

summer sale should be good.

[biocat]

Oh! Really want 2070! How does it compare to the previous games in the series? I prefer city building over fighting.

[Killthee]

On Steam.

We believe that developers should have the freedom to price their games how they like, without interference from the online stores that sell the games. Why? Because it allows us to promote our games more freely, as we are doing here! We rely on the ability to promote our games for our livelihood and control over pricing is an important tool for this purpose. For the last week of May (May 24 through June 1) our games will be deeply discounted to celebrate online stores that give us control over pricing: The App Store, Google Play, Steam, and a few others. For a list of participating games in each store, choose one of the following:

[Boss Doggie]

Anno games are pretty good but approaching it with a SimCity mindset is definitely a wrong idea. You should do campaigns first to give you a gist on what to do.

Mine was doing the same thing yesterday, but it will be normal once you log in.

I logged in and the screen is jarbled, but I was able to make purchase.

[Sarcasm]

So from a neogaf person what and how is Anno? Is it best to buy reg version plus all packs?

[Boss Doggie]

I cave in.

Anyone wanna do a 4 pack for Torchlight 2?

[Monroeski]

Wow, I am just not even close on these score challenges in Jamestown.

[JaseC]

I hope Revelations expanded on the building, assassin recruitment/missions and regions/influence elements of Brotherhood. It was a system I very much enjoyed while the main story was already same as 2. Its something that can really enhance a game like this.

Sort of. Those elements are still present, however:

- Building up an area increases your notoriety, which is logically sound, but annoying, as there are now only heralds and witnesses -- no more simply running around after wanted posters.
- Taking over a Templar den requires you to play a rather dull tower defense mini-game. It's easy enough, but adds an unnecessary layer. (Edit: Oh, and until your den is being overseen by a Master Assassin, the Templars will occasionally attempt to retake it, which, if you choose to intervene, also results in the tower defense mini-game.)
- Assassin recruiting/training works much the same as it did in Brotherhood, however since missions are now randomly generated, it's effectively endless and therefore becomes pointless once a Master Assassin has been assigned to each of your dens.

[NaM]

Damn, ubi not wanting me to buy Driver San Francisco. 5 bucks or burst.

[MNC]

Rebellion is Trinity + more. There's no use in buying trinity if you have rebellion. Now for my question: Was wondering wether I should buy Trinity to get the discount for rebellion, but eventually it changes just 2 bucks. So THEN I was wondering... Would it be possible for someone else to buy a preorder with trinity for me, then send the shit my way, with the 10 discount?

Anyone have a stardock account with the game and wants to try preordering it from stardock site with 10$ discount?

I think you can try, but trinity isn't a steamworks, but rebellion is. It all depends on where your key is registered, and where the other user registers it.

Is today the last day for Ubisoft deals? What time does it end? I want to buy Dark Messiah.

[The Grim Heaper]

Is today the last day for Ubisoft deals? What time does it end? I want to buy Dark Messiah.

Today is the last day.

[volturnus]

Do it. Now.

[Zero-Crescent]

Today is the last day.

Though, keep in mind that most, if not all, of the games featured will probably hit the same price points again during the summer sale.

[rohlfinator]

I cave in. Anyone wanna do a 4 pack for Torchlight 2?

I'd be in for two copies -- think I'm going to get an extra for a friend.

Never failed me before. All the games I own (100+) have entertained me within an hour :)

Still a stupid rule, even if you say it hasn't failed you so far. It's like saying "Well, if I don't like this album I bought the first time I listen to it, I'll never listen to it again". Many things get better with time, in fact some of my favourite games ever started out really bad for me (Vagrant Story for example).

I don't think English is his first language. Tropico is a city builder if people are wondering.

For Ziro and Lucid, yes, your rule works: both games use the same mechanics and almost the same puzzles from the beginning to the end. But I found Aquaria boring for the first four hours and then it has been great for eighteen hours. The puzzles in Vessel are too easy to be interesting during the first two hours and then it gets really interesting as they are a bit difficult. Blocks That Matter and Hamilton's Great Adventure are both games I had played three hours and found boring, and after some months, I played them again and enjoyed it as I better understood how to play them: for instance, Hamilton's scoring system is not obvious.

[Semblance]

Just finished Dear Esther.

I ... have absolutely no idea how I feel about it, at all. Super pretty though!

[zoku88]

Man, I'm tempted to get Anno 2070, but man, that 3 machine activation limit :-/

[EternalGamer]

I never said it was an RTS. I'm not sure why you feel the need to defend the purity of the acronym. This is rather silly. I simply meant that it was a non-turn based strategy game.

[Boss Doggie]

It's not even a strategy game at all. It's more like Sim City.

Anyway looking for 2 more in a torchlight 2 4-pack.

[Lord British]

Oh btw who wants a free Torchlight 1 game? First to quote gets it.

[Lord British]

Oh btw who wants a free Torchlight 1 game? First to quote gets it.

Can I have it as a gift for someone else, a friend? I already own it. I totally understand if not.

[Fare Godmace]

Oh btw who wants a free Torchlight 1 game? First to quote gets it.

If Stupacabra can't get it, I wouldn't mind it. Never played a Diablo-like and right now I have nothing better to do!

EDIT: Got it, thanks again! Installing it right now :D

[Boss Doggie]

Sadly I tried earlier with Herla that TL1 won't gift to those who already have it for some odd reason. So Fare gets it. Gimme your steam id.

[Baha]

In situations where somebody already owns the game you should be able to trade it to them instead, the torchlight 1 gift from the torchlight 2 pre-order is tradeable.
