Steam Sale Begins

It's on!

Edit: And as expected, slow as old people f**king.

Hitman: Absolution is on that list.

I like these sneaker shooters. REALLY tempted to get this. Anyone got an opinion on it?

Goodbye wallet, I guess. ;)

Good call; it's been on my wishlist for ages.

Is Patrician 4 worth £3.50? Tempted but I don't want there to be a great deal of combat. Sandbox mode?

Nefaro · December 20, 2012, 01:57:18 PM

I see SOTS2 for something like $14.

Was just making a quick purchase, hopefully before the d/l speed drops to nil for the day. Have to sneak back in the wee hours to actually browse like I'm not on a 28.8k modem. :P

There isn't much combat - it's mostly trading and building some manufacturing buildings, and weaseling your way to a leadership position in town(s). It's the exact same thing as the newer Port Royale 3 but in a different location and earlier era. Unfortunately, PR3 had it's sale price raised back up - someone got that for $3 at GG or something recently.

So would you recommend it Nefaro?

I hope Carrier Command gets a daily sale.

Seriously, don't use the client. Log in through the web page and buy there...you won't get slow downs and crashes. Then log in to the client later and start downloading.

Seriously thinking about the new Hitman. the main complaint seems to be that it's more action-y, but that was the same complaint about Splinter Cell : Conviction and I quite enjoyed that. Hmmm...

Only thing I'm sort of interested in if the price point drops is Anno 2070.

That THQ (speaking of THQ) bundle for $25 is a s**tload of gaming for that price. jeezus.

Wargame EE is definitely worth the plunge at $10

Even better is SOTS2 for $10. I've been completely hooked on it for the last month. Anyone on the fence about it who liked the original should pick this up now, no brainer
