Steam Summer sale - 19-30th June

It's a good thing that what you can tell about the game is quite wrong then. It's a brilliant single player game filled with action and very good dialogue and cinematics.

I am not interested in cinematics really. Dialogue is only really relevant to help the story. But what about the gameplay, the core element of the game and the thing you spend most time doing (or not as the case may be if the stories are true about the intrusive cinematics)?

Having watched videos it does indeed just look like a case of get a load of guns and shoot the bad guys and partake in a few scripted set pieces. Are the levels linear or can you conquer them in your own way by altering your routes through them? Are there any other elements to the levels other than killing everything that moves (IE puzzle solving, finding items, using the environment to kill enemies instead of tackling them head on)? Can you upgrade/progress your character in a way which suits your play style? Can you modify and upgrade weapons in the same way? Do you have any other abilities which help (IE like telekenesis, body armour, weapon/melee/stealth bonuses granted depending on your play style? Duel weilding .50 cal rifles? Really? What about enemy AI? Seems to me like they just run in and shoot at you? Do they call alarms in order to bring more backup if you are seen? Or do they not bother and if they die well, their tough luck?

Seems to me like this is just RTCW with better graphics, but I am more than happy to be proven wrong. The last Wolfenstein game at least tried to add different elements of play style, but this one does seem like a rehash with better graphics but ultimately the same gameplay as 2001! :)
 
Riiiight, got a cart full of recommendations from this thread!

Hotline Miami £2.79
Vampire Bloodlines £3.74
XCOM complete £8.24
Witcher 2 Enhanced £2.99
Witcher Director's Cut £1.39
Trine Complete (1+2) £2.69

Going to hold off on Anno 2070 for the moment, £10 is still too much with ten days left in the sale.

Witcher 2 is on sale for £2.99, seems like the standout deal for today for the 2% of people on Steam who don't own it, along with XCOM complete @ £8.24. Amazing price.

That's me!
 
Excellent! I wonder why Steam never emailed me? It's on my wishlist so it should alert me.

You're not the only one. Maybe it wasn't a big enough reduction to trigger an email? I dunno... Anyhow, checked my wishlist and snapped it up!

For info, there's someone has posted in the Enslaved Steam Community forum explaining how to improve the graphics settings using some config tweaks. Apparently the in-game settings don't work or don't allow for some changes.

Enjoy the game! :D
 
Any opinions on whether Don't Starve needs the expansion pack? I've always fancied the main game but don't want to fork out more than I have to if the main game stands alone fine without it.
 
Can you vote the sports-racing pack for the community choice? Assetto Corsa will be 50% off so £15 and that's the lowest it has been. Fabulous value for one of the best racing sims. Note the game is still in Early Access and shines when used with a wheel.

Yeh please vote, getting Assetto Corsa at that would be terrific!!

I don't own any racing games so, yeah I'll vote for it :)
 
ive voted for asseto corsa too wouldnt mind pivcking that up.

thinking of getting ENSLAVED™: Odyssey to the West™ Premium Edition for £3.74 is this game any good? worth the price?

is super meat boy worth getting too?

think im gonna grab euro trucker and dont starve.
 
If Assetto Corsa and the rest of the games in that collection don't win I will be furious, I've been waiting for what seems like forever to this to come down in price and finally it looks like it could be picked up for a cracking deal. I've voted and I'm waiting in anticipation.
