It hath begun'ith!  So if you see any good deals, or have any recommendations for others to look out for, here's the place to do it.

I got Far Cry 2 with all of the DLCs for $2.50. Not a bad deal really.

[Pasidon]

Farcry 2 is such an amazing game... I may get that as well.  I love the story behind The Jackal and how your friends always randomize and have very interesting twists with them.  And I do believe the DLC has a silenced shotgun, which is probably the silliest weapon in the game, but also the funnest.  

 

Oh, on the note of Farcry, Farcry 3: Blood Dragon is currently $3.74.  If you like silly weapons, amazing action, well delivered comedy... all in the style of an ideal 80's movie, then you will love Blood Dragon.  And you don't even need Farcry 3 to play it.

Once again the Steam Summer sale strikes while I'm broke, It's a conspiracy I say.

Maybe it's for the best because I rarely play the games I have on steam as it is.

 

Witcher 2 Enhanced edition for $4 and DayZ for $25 (who the hell would pay that for DayZ?)

A surprising amount of intelligent people, which is depressing.  It's literally a walking simulator with optional Free For All combat.  And glitchy zombies,,, But Witcher 2 is a nice price for like an 80 hour game.

 

Also if anyone gets any Summer Sale cards they don't want, old Pasi will take them off your hands.

It's a shame there's so much crap in the survival genre because as a genre it has huge potential but maybe the industry isn't ready for it yet.

If it was to be done right it would have to be a huge production with the resources of one of the bigger developers but so far it's mostly being done by indies and former modders.

[Pasidon]

The problem is it was originally created by an idiot.  The guy's name was Rocket... he quit the project, so maybe something can actually get done with it.  Like... I dunno... FINALLY FIXING THE ZOMBIE ANIMATIONS.  They've been broken for like 3 years.  Probably longer.

 

Here's a nice animation of the Polaris Cooptional Podcast performing Rocket's farewell speech when he left the Day Z project.  It is known as the dumbest thing a video game developer has ever said:

Now I'm regretting how I retired, I could have been a grenade but noooo I had to be a burn out.

[Pasidon]

You could have talked people to the ledge as well, which by that, I assume means forcing people to spend 30 bucks on an awful, incomplete product.

[OmegaBolt]

Planetary Annihilation is $15 atm, if anyone wants to join in the fun.

[Pasidon]

Oh.  Bolty... you're making me blush.  I dunno... I think that could go on a bigger discount here soon.  I think I'll gamble and wait.

 

Update: Eh?  It's 25 bucks, Bolty.  Why you gotta excite me like that?  I feel so betrayed.

[OmegaBolt]

Oh, well it's only £15 here.

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

Agarest for like $5 looks like it might be interesting to me a Strategy RPG with Level-5eque cell shaded graphics.

[Pasidon]

Oh, 15 funky fresh bills.  Yea, Bolty. I'll buy it if that drops down to 15 bucks.  

 

And Rad, Agarest turned out really, really bad.  I remember hearing about that when it was in beta, but I guess people have been quite disappointed by it, which is a shame.  It looked promising.

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

Just looking up some reviews for it, it got a 45 on Metacritic so averageish a bit disappointing.

[Pasidon]

Well, I wouldn't recommend listening to metacritic, but that's probably a fair enough number.

[Pasidon]

Oh, hey.  Guys.  It would really help me out if you voted in the flash sales and got cards.  I'm playing the Summer Adventure game, and currently, my team is winning.  If I get enough cards, I could get some free games.  Please'o'please help Pasi'deeze!  You can also get a free card by just joining the game by clicking on the game board on the store front page.

Oh, on the note of Farcry, Farcry 3: Blood Dragon is currently $3.74.  If you like silly weapons, amazing action, well delivered comedy... all in the style of an ideal 80's movie, then you will love Blood Dragon.  And you don't even need Farcry 3 to play it.  

But you do need uPlay and that's a deal breaker.

[OmegaBolt]

Yeah it's pretty annoying to find out you need to install and register for another front end to launch the effing game.
