The original Puzzle Quest is also on sale for $0.99.

Very much recommended. It's even possible to mod in the Xbox360-exclusive expansion pack. Of course, I'm only recommending you do that if you actually bought it on the Xbox.

i thought xenosaga's story and lore was actually more thought out and planned than gears, but of course none of it matters because someone decided to butcher all of it with ep2.

I still have to play ep 3.
grrr.

Jane's Advanced Strike Fighters is super terrible.
Avoid, even for $2.

Zombie Army 2 is Nazi Zombie Army 2 for Germany. I love that it's a specific app.

 

[Rhaknar]

ok Steam, ill FINALLY get Galactrix, 1euro seems about right for it

 

[zkylon]

Oh, you have no idea!

Spoiler

in fact I have no problems with story itself, even if it's special (><)

It's just not that fun to play, especially second part.
I prefer Xenogears, I prefer SNES and PS1 era JRPGs too. There were some good ones on PS2, but not in amounts that gen before.

yea I know but I kinda liked xenosaga 2 back in the day and I'm usually consistent with things I liked when I was younger so I'm confident it'll be alright.

what I'm really sad is that no one ever again made an rpg with parasite eve/vagrant story combat mechanics

http://steamcommunity.com/app/94400/discussions/0/648816743212444226/ Interesting.

weird

flywrench is actually a pretty decent game, but brutal for your senses

 

[Anteater]

I still have to play ep 3.
grrr.

3 was actually alright though! They brought back some of the stuff they canned with ep2, I'm still sad about what it could've been if they didn't mess it up with the new director/writer, it had so much potentials ;( you could still find traces of brilliance with what's left over even if it was rushed, they're worth playing.

 

[dark_inferno]

Is Galactrix good?

Its good but not as good as Puzzle Quest 1. Worth the money they are asking for.

Never played PQ2 and its sad that this isnt on sale.

 

[jshackles]

Is Galactrix good?

I found it to be the absolute worst in the Puzzle Quest series.

Spoiler

I still bought it.

The puzzle mechanics of "gravity" never really gels though the entire game. It's always kind of awkward. It's a similar experience and reaction that people get when playing Brothers with it's weird control scheme. The problem is, that unlike Brothers, this game's plot is a terrible grindy mess.

 

[NingenJanai]

Ughhh at galactrix, I still remember the dreadful load times on DS.

 

[Anteater]

yea I know but I kinda liked xenosaga 2 back in the day and I'm usually consistent with things I liked when I was younger so I'm confident it'll be alright.

so you've already played ep1 !

Well, 2 did have a great trailer. I'll give it that.

Full Mojo Rampage looks cool, anyone played it? Or doing a 4 pack?

 

[Glass Rebel]

Logged into my Origin account after months and apparently someone hacked it, deleted my friends so I wouldn't notice, changed my avatar to this dude

and got 4 achievements and 90 origin points. Luckily I don't have any payment info saved on it.

thanks stranger!

 

[zkylon]

so you've already played ep1 !

nope, just 2 lol

ep 1 never made it to argentina

 

[Anteater]

nope, just 2 lol

ep 1 never made it to argentina

oh yeah you should play 1, it's the slower game of the 3 though.

Logging into my account to find that it had been hacked and someone set the avatar to Saoirse Ronan would be the weirdest thing.

It's sad that the second game isn't also on sale

Bought PQ1 and Galactrix

I have to confess. I pirated PQ1 a long time ago, that was before I started using Steam. But I feel better now that I have bought it

 

[Glass Rebel]

You can still access your account?

Yeah without issue, the hacker didn't even bother to change the password.

hahaha yeah that would be really weird

*closes origin*

[Jawmuncher]

It's sad that the second game isn't also on sale

I remember playing PQ2 on ios and hating every second of it.
Might have just been the platform but it didn't stand up to 1 at all.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

I still don't own Bad Rats, maybe I should

 

[Arthea]

Its good but not as good as Puzzle Quest 1. Worth the money they are asking for.

I spent too much time with all of them
The first game is must play in my eyes, it's awesome, balanced and gameplay is superb, Galactrix had great ideas, but gameplay is much more random and less strategic than in Warlords, and let's not forget, that they killed it for most people with those gates, damn it. But a game still good, and setting is great, as far as you understand that's no Warlords and not even close.
PQ2 got rid of most gameplay elements that were great in Warlords, and additions were not that hot, also a game is way too easy with couple of mindblowing difficulty spikes, but it's not a bad game, it has some interesting modes only it's nowhere near that addictive or good as first PQ was. But then again not many games are that good as first PQ.

 

[JaseC]

Then you would know it was ClassyPenguin.

Whoa, spooky:

Edit: The remaining Cities in Motion 1 subs have been fixed up.

 

[bonesquad]

I still don't own Bad Rats, maybe I should

Buying Bad Rats for yourself is like going to the prom with your sister...

 

[Jawmuncher]

I still don't own Bad Rats, maybe I should

Don't buy it.
The SteamGAF way is to have someone gift it to you.
You don't buy Bad Rats for yourself. I'm sure that's a rule somewhere.

 

[zkylon]

oh yeah you should play 1, it's the slower game of the 3 though.

yeah, I looked a bit at 1 and like hated the character designs since I'm used to how everyone looks in 2, which I think is kind of the opposite reaction that everyone had when 2 came out heh.

it's alright, just beat papers please and the last of us and will be done with mgr any moment now so it's a good time to play something old

I did the front mission main series last year, may do xenosaga this year

really want to play xenoblade someday too

Whoa, spooky:

Edit: The remaining Cities in Motion 1 subs have been fixed up.

I think this means anteater has hacked your gaf account as well

 

[Random Painted HIghway]

Never played puzzle quest. .99 hmm. No cards no achievements... Hmmm what to do.

[rybrad]

Full Mojo Rampage is fun. I picked it up when it first came out and it is good times with friends. It is still very much a work in progress but worth the asking price if you like roguelike(like) games with some permanence thrown in.

 

[RionaaM]

Steam thread has it's highs and lows.
I don't mind a bit of OT but it can get out of hand but eh that's a little bit of the charm of SteamGAF.

______________________________________________________-

On Topic
I had no clue that Hitman Contracts wasn't on steam. Would have thought Square would have them all on there from the get go.

I have no problem with OT. I do have problems with NSFW/softcore porn and human/animal feces plaguing the thread, especially when said pics are embedded, or the links aren't appropriately marked as such.

And I'd totally buy Hitman Contracts. Never played it, and I'd like to own all of them on Steam.

Definitely can't blame you for that.

Now in your Activity feed:

EVERYONE OWNS GALACTRIX.

 

[TheSeks]

Galactrix is awful

Spoiler

and they still haven't fixed the PS3 port's trophy bugs.

, Puzzle Quest 1/Challenge of the Warlords, however is easily worth a $1.

I'm biased against feces I gotta say

[PandaPedinte]

oh that's no easy!

Spoiler

When I was trying for evil path I noticed cruelty popping up, it's like hidden skill or something. You basically have to win a game while fighting and triggering all wars, yup all of them (you can loose the naval one but win in other way, which is really really spoilery to tell), you have to be mean to all commoners, raise taxes, don't send help when asked, don't heal them and be party pooper - no coronation celebration.
But, it can be that there is some simpler way than that I came up to, I remember it being discussed here.

Wow! I never could imagine

Spoiler

it was that hard.

 

[JaseC]

Guardians of Middle-erf is half off for the next week, too ($9.99 or $39.99 for the Mithril Edition). It's six months old next month, which is how old Gotham City Imposters was when it went F2P, so if you care about your game count at all I'd seriously considering buying the game now because you may not get another chance.

 

[RionaaM]

Funny, it's the same reason I want to play Remember Me at some point, despite the mixed reviews. Feel kind of obligated, somehow.

It's good that you want to play it, but I think there are much better reasons for it (not trying to imply yours is not valid, of course )

Allow me to quote myself, please:

All in all, I greatly enjoyed playing this game. If you are a fan of either science fiction, good combat mechanics, light platforming or exquisite orchestrated techno music, then I'd recommend picking this up. I consider it a game worth playing.

 

[zkylon]

Don't ever have children, you'd get lots of that stuff.

well that's what wives are for

right?

right?

I was at one point considering going to nurse school but ended up changing my mind.

tbh I quite like blood so at least I could make up for the gross stuff with the gross stuff I like
