Holiday Damage Thread

[jamus34]

So far I grabbed Doorkickers and Industry Giant 2 for a grand total of $7.

Keeping my eye on things but right now between backlog and holiday shopping the mad money is a little tight right now.

[Jarhead0331]

Goddamn that's a good haul Jarhead!  They'll all be installed, played and completed in time for the Christmas sale, I trust? ;)

True, but at least I'm actually not buying everything I have a remote interest in immediately at release, and am instead waiting for sales!

Could it be...our little Jarhead is growing up?  -sniff sniff-

[Huw the Poo]

JasonPratt just forced me to buy Armello!

[Toonces]

Whelp, my total damage was:

Total War: Attila plus Culture Packs (but not Charlemagne it turns out)
SanctuaryRPG: Black Edition
Depths of Fear
CK2 DLCs: Charlemagne, Early Western Clothing Pack, Dynasty Shields Charlemagne
Mount and Blade: Warband Viking Conquest Reforged DLC

Overall spending was about $40 so not too bad.  I'm holding out for the Attila Charlemagne DLC until Xmas time I think.

I eyeballed a few other games, but I think I've got enough here to keep me occupied for a while....at least until the next sale kicks in.

I bought Fleets of Sol for $2.62CDN after Steam wallet deductions.  I don't get it.  It doesn't seem like you really do anything as the player other than launch and recover fighters and decide when to jump out of a system.  It's still early access so hopefully they flesh it out but it seems really passive at the moment.

I've been watching this one for awhile from my wishlist and even at that price, I just didn't feel like making the commitment. I too hope it gets developed into something worthwhile, but I'm not going to hold my breath. Seems like it has been awhile since there has been any real development.

GG War in the East, plus both expansions, from Steam for about $55.

Bought the two DLC's for Endless Legend. I had bought the game awhile ago and never played it. I started this weekend, and I'm really enjoying myself so far! Was eyeing Gal Civ III, but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

[Cyrano]

DC: Barbarossa (that count?  So, f-ing great...hard to oversell...)

Super Mega Baseball: Extra Innings (boy wanted it)

Rocket League (ditto, but this is a truly remarkable product)

Five Nights at Freddy's (also ditto)

Graviteam Tactics: Operation Star and all the DLC (finally took the plunge, but the lack of MP has me crabby)

IL-2 Sturmovik: BoS (say what you will, but it's worth the price of admission to buzz the tractor factory...seriously)

JTS Kharkov '43 (NOT on sale.  I told Doug I wanted to try the "backhand blow", he sent me a turn, I was not sober, and so the least it seemed I should do was purchase the game, download it, patch it, update the graphics, and send him a turn).

[Dammit Carl!]

GG War in the East, plus both expansions, from Steam for about $55.

Yeah...guilty of this one as well.

Will add the Battle Academy MegaPack to the mix by the end of this week and call it quits at that point.

Probably.

Maybe.

We'll see.

[Rekim]

I grabbed Arma 3 for half price.

regular price is still $60, which seems kind of high for a 2+ year old game. Must be good...

[PanzersEast]

Add Conquest of Elysium 4 and 80 Days....   and 80 Days is quit the experience.  O0

Trying to gauge how much Attila differs from Rome II -- and especially, if it's better than Rome II.  Thoughts, anyone?

I like Rome II but wouldn't say I love it -- which is probably my view of most Total War games -- I think there's lots that they do that's very impressive, but for some reason, they never hold my attention for very long (probably because I find the strategic and diplomatic layers a little disappointing, and the games tend to devolve into repetitive battles that play out very similarly).

Anyway, if anyone here is of the mind that "Attila is similar to Rome II but better in some significant ways," I'd love to hear it (as I'll likely pick it up on sale if that's the case).  If the consensus is "Attila is good, but mostly more of the same re: Rome II" then I think I'll skip it....

Attila's dynamics are very different. To simplify it, in Rome II, the player is charged with building a large empire. In Attila, the player is charged with survival. And it's damned difficult!
