Steam Winter Sale 2015

Pretty good game actually, a lot better than the dead island games anyways. I wouldn't say it was a great game but it's a good playthrough. The score on steam is about right 75/100 I certainly wouldn't score it above that imo.

Your dead (according to the girlfriend).:confused:
 
I'm curious...I've never played DayZ, yet I have heard that there was a time when it was in considerably better shape. What went wrong, what did the developer do to cheese people off? Is it still somewhat popular to this day?

Bad management they just keep going round the hard way to get to the end. but the game in the day its the only game me and 5 other mates have played where you actually fear for your in life character dying.

sweaty palms heart racing just a few symptoms of playing dayZ ( it took hours to gear up so you dont want to die)
;)

Ive been on the last few days its looking rather nice and running okish but yeah its should be running rather well by now they should have picked another engine and started from scratch it would be the game of all games.
 
Well the g/f & I have just bought Dying Light. you lot better be right or you gonna get some fist!:mad:

If you can get 4 people together it can be utterly hilarious and terrifying at the same time, a duo though might not be quite up to that. It is a very fun game though, certainly one of the more enjoyable multiplayer/solo games I played in 2015
 
Anyone else having problems getting into steam? I logged in for a few moments, noticed my winter sale trading cards were missing so went to change my password just in case and it wouldn't let me. Logged out and now I can't log back in.

I have just tried to go to their forum and that was down for maintenance.

I was wondering the same. It does seem to have a lot of reviews and mostly positive on Steam, which is a good sign.

I guess it's one of the topics that I've seen discussed on here so many times, which is why it has piqued my curiosity. :)

All I know is whenever I see some kind of article or comment about Day-Z, all I end up thinking is that I want to stay well clear of that!

I'm sure it is a decent game but it seems to come with a lot of baggage.
 
Games for a 33 year old girl please?

Past total immersions have been:

WoW
Pharaoh
Sims
Grim Fandango
Tetris

Basically anything that does not take all day away from you would be ideal.
Something with a bit of an arcade feel but yet enough immersion for an hour or so, persistent stuff and throwaway please, and ideally in the sale.

Thanks a lot.

There is a thread on here for the standalone version which is the one people are annoyed with, have a read and you'll see why.

To sum it up, it was well received when it came into early access 2 years ago and the majority of people were excited by it and pleased with what it was then and the development roadmap.

Now I've just checked and so far it has sold 3.4 million copies so far, a respectable number for any game.

The issues everyone had with it that the zombies were bugged and would clip through walls and floors, and that the games engine is inherently clunky, not to mention its relatively poor performance. Those were what I'd class as the main issues.

Instead of addressing stuff like that, the devs added new items of clothing into the game.

At this time there are 150 different types of hat to collect, the game is still clunky and the last time I played a month or so ago there hadn't been zombies for months, as they were so broken they just removed them from the game.

Playing it now to playing it 2 years ago, the main notable improvements is there is more rubbish to collect and thats about it.
 
I'm a massive fan of the Tomb Raider games on the PS1, the puzzles were sublime for the time, but never got around to playing the later incarnations.

Is the Tomb Raider GOTY reboot worth buying? I know it's only £4 or so, but there are other titles at the same price and this time I've set myself a strict budget for the Steam sale!
 
The new Tomb Raider, isn't Tomb Raider. Having said that, while it might be frustrating, there's every chance it could be the best choice for your £4 odd. I very much enjoyed the original and was surprised that my butt-hurt over the departure didn't stop me from enjoying it regardless.
