sgtnapalm Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Any thoughts on Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut for $5? Seem to be some mixed reviews.I know this is kinda late now but Deus Ex is my favorite game of all time and has been since before Human Revolution came out, and with that in mind I think that Human Revolution totally captured the spirit of the original and is worthy of its namesake, though it's not without its flaws (it rewards stealth a bit too much I think.) I preordered it and it was totally worth it for full price. If you enjoy Skyrim you'll probably enjoy Human Revolution, it's an FPS with some RPG elements with tons of cool sidequests and a killer story. It took me about 50-60 hours to complete the entire game (get all achievements.) Should take like 24 hours to just do a single playthrough if you take your time and explore like you're supposed to. In other news, Thief 4 is on sale. As a fan of the original Thief games there are no redeeming qualities in Thief 4. Give it a pass, even for 50%, 75%, or even 90% off.

EssArrBee Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 Man, I almost forgot about Guacamelee! It's an indie game that is super fun for $6. Puzzle side scroller type of game if you like those games like me. So colorful and just a really crazy story with this Mexican theme to it. Side scrollers are better with a gamepad, you might keep that in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtnapalm Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I bought that a bit ago but never got around to playing it. My understanding is that it's very Metroidvania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssArrBee Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 Just in case we forget the spirit of this thread, here is the free list of games on GOG.com. https://www.gog.com/games##price=free I highly recommend Tyrian 2000. It's an awesome vertical scrolling space shooter, but made by Americans instead of Japanese. No one hit kills and bullet death. A little easy, but really fun.

dem1an Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) I just picked up Grim Dawn for $12.49 from Steam. I'm glad these deals will come to an end soon. I don't have a lot of time, so I'm not sure what I'm thinking. I see a deal and I just can't resist. Recently, I've gotten Baldur's Gate 2, Arkahm Asylum, Borderlands 2, Brothers, Dark Souls, Deus Ex HR, Left 4 Dead 2, Witcher 2, Torment and now Grim Dawn.

DocClox Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I know this is kinda late now but Deus Ex is my favorite game of all time and has been since before Human Revolution came out, and with that in mind I think that Human Revolution totally captured the spirit of the original and is worthy of its namesake, though it's not without its flawsIt certainly did capture the spirit of the original! I could wish the boss fights were a little less heavy handed (more sniping from ventilation ducts, less running round and round in a big locked room) and I really didn't like that one ambush where you needed a certain sort of character build to have a snowball's chance of saving your colleague's life. The thing that killed it for me though were the brutal load times. I was afraid to get killed because I didn't want to wait for the game to load again. And a lot of the fun of DX is poking your nose in where you shouldn't and seeing if it gets shot off. I'd say it was miles better than Invisible War, but that really is damning it with faint praise :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssArrBee Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Did you know there was a Canada Day? Well Steam does and they have a nice little deal. https://store.steampowered.com/sale/canadaday I recommend guacamelee or mark of the ninja.

WilliamImm Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 EA is offering Sims 2 with all expansions for free. Thanks to /r/gamedeals for letting me know about the offer. If you don't want to click the link, redeem I-LOVE-THE-SIMS into Origin. EDIT: If you use IFTTT (if not, go start using it, it's one of the most useful services ever), this recipe is really useful for tracking free game giveaways. It's how I heard about the Sims 2 deal, and helped me score other free games too. (Also, the deal is only for until the end of this month.)

TechAngel85 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Same here, got the Sims 2 now. I've played it before on a friend's computer. Good way to blow time...they tend to be rather needy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
