Was just looking through the Paradox pack and Penumbra looks sweet! (I have never heard of it before) Its like Amnesia meets Myst, or not. I will probably pick it up on sunday if it isn't a daily.
Weekend deal: 50% off the Star Wars Collection and select SW titles (Battlefront II, Republic Commando, KOTOR and Empire at War Gold Pack): 45
Hm. Pretty bad deal, as far as I'm concerned. And I wanted to get the Jedi Knight games, too. Oh well, I'll wait for the Winter sale.

Weird that kotor 1 is up on steam yet kotor 2 isn't. I would love to replay it with the complete patches but alas, it wasn't meant to be.
How is Republic Commando? I always wanted to try it but never got around to it. I'll probably just impulse buy it because $5 seems to be my magic number. Still, I'd take opinions on it.
I hear you. Never played this one either and would like the chance to. May just suck it up and buy it on disc.

It's a shitty port anyway. Framerate is capped at 30fps and I believe the install size is like 22gb.amrod said:Star Wars The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition ... if only it was onsale alone

It's great. Can best be described as Star Wars meets Rainbow 6 Vegas. Graphics are a bit dated, but it runs in widescreen with a .ini edit, not sure if you can modify the FOV which feels a bit confined.
CrookedRain said:
Pretty sure the cap was removed with a patch, if not, you can unlock it manually, I believe. It's otherwise a solid well optimized port, in my experience.

Not a lot, but you can usually find a few games going.
Derrick01 said:
Ball bustingly complex. Those games are more complex than the most complex games in terms of strategy that you can possibly think of.
I found Europa Universalis to be very complex as well but a lot easier to get into, if you might want to wait for a sale on that.
There is a demo: http://www.gamershell.com/news_81436.htmlDerrick01 said:
Also, apparently going in reverse chronological order for Paradox titles is supposed to make it less complex (which makes sense). So it should be HoI3 > Victoria II > EU3 (EU:Rome falls under this category). CK2, Sengoku, Rome are sorta similar (more focus on dynasties or characters rather than the state/realm).
You might also want to try EU3's demo to see if you are up for it. I tried the Vicky 2 demo and it seemed much more complex (you have alot more control over what your industries produce it seems - someone can correct me), so HOI3 probably increases that complexity since you also have to fight WW2 and stuff and have to probably have more things to micromanage.
Maybe today. I don't think I've seen EU3 (Chronicles) be cheaper than 75%.Toma said:
I'm really getting into Medal of Honor: Airborne. I love how the levels are designed. Each of them is like this giant warzone with objectives spread out around it and you can choose to tackle them in whatever order you want. They encourage this too by having it so at the start of the level (and whenever you die) you spawn in by parachute and can aim yourself to land at whatever section you choose.

It's still up dude! Until 7 ET, go ahead and grab it.
Toma said:
I bought EU3 complete back when they had a sale on that about a month ago or so, haven't really got into it yet because of the backlog. I like complex but they pretty much need my undivided attention or I'll start them, stop for something else and never touch them again.
I think I'll get it anyway, maybe start it tonight if I'm feeling ballsy.

That Star Wars pack is tempting but I planned on waiting until GOG got some of those games until I bought them.

I'm such a Steam whore, I added the Star Wars pack to my cart before realising I already have it.

Haven't they each hit 5-10$ previously?SalsaShark said:
Cheaper and easier to give a code out for Steam, than it is a retail disc or GFW.amrod said:So friend bought new Nvidia card and got a code for Batman: Arkham City ... It activates via steam
Just stick with Jedi Knight II and Academy.SalsaShark said:
If you just want the novelty of the new ones, only 1.

I got TFU for $7.50, but I don't think TFU II has ever been that cheap. If it was, I probably would own it.

TFU2 isn't worth owning anyways. They some how managed to make a game more mediocre than TFU1.

Surprised Empire isn't $5 like it usually is.
I could never get into it after spending so much time with the superior Galactic Battlegrounds.

Isn't it shorter than the first game too? (which was only like 6 hours long anyway)
