The Steam Christmas Sale is now on.
What would you recommend to buy and/or avoid?
I'd recommend:
- Indie Heavy Hitters Pack
- Indie Mix Pack
- Titan Quest
I'm pondering whether to get Mass Effect 2 but I didn't get far with ME1 -I fear I don't have the time/patience for it.
What are your thoughts?

The game is fun with other people to play it with. _____________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008

Edited by: Irida Mershkov on 24/12/2010 14:09:48 For anyone who hasn't had a steam sale before. WAIT FOR THE DAILY DEALS.
Yeah some games are like 25% off, but this sale goes onto the 4th and chances are they'll drop to 80% off. Lots of great (and not so great) games on sale here. If you don't get the Indie Fright pack, you're stupid. aka get The Void.

Edited by: Evilan Altana on 24/12/2010 15:13:03 Pretty much any one of the Package deals are good.
I picked up the Indie Flight Pack the other day and have been playing a lot of Gratuitous Space Battles. Seeing as the entire pack was the same as the sale price of just the one game, it was well worth it.
Except for the Heavy Hitters, all the Indie Packs are 1 dollar a game, well worth it from the ones I've played before.
The other package deals are worth taking a look at too, I will probably pick up the Valve pack.
Edit: The indie packs are from 82 percent to 92 percent off regular pricing, and the other packages are near 80 percent off for the most part.

The Heavy Hitter pack looks good for Shattered Horizon, as I've never picked that up, but I don't know if the player count is as good as it used to be, is the SH community still going?

I just got mass effect 2 digital deluxe.
I ****ed myself in the first 5 minutes. It's SO much better than the first, and the first one was great as it is.

I got ArmA II - combined operations. 33% off.
There's 75% off on ArmA II alone though if you don't feel like getting the expansion too.

Mount and Blade: Warband. Get the Prophesy of Pendor mod and you have one of the most addictive things ever.

I just ****ed myself again. Walked into the ladies restroom and the AI rebuked me. I lol'd. Then I walked into crew quarters and saw some giant ball of space-timeyness. God I love Mass effect.
WHY DOESN'T SOMEONE MAKE AN MMO OUT OF THIS GAME???

I would recommend Oddworld strangers wrath, its an older game so the graphics are a little dated but the game play is very cool and a hybrid FPS and third person fist em up where you play as a bounty hunter that has to attempt to bring some of its targets in alive which complicates the missions. Its a great mix of action, stealth and combat with a really unique setting and a bonkers world anyone who played the Abes oddysee games would understand, if you fancy something a bit different from the usual stuff its well worth the money.

It's a great game. I'm currently working my way through it again, on Insanity, with a pure adept. It'll take a while. I'd highly recommend the series to anyone who's interested, especially if Steam puts it on sale -------------------

Is it possible to play this in first person, or are you fixed in third?

Dunno about an MMO, but a movie is being made (Hopefully out of the First Contact War, and not anything they could butcher).
Also, X3 pack is $13 for 1 hour: go buy that, as in, now.

13$ is a good deal for the X3 games. I, personally, got bored with them fairly quickly, but to each their own.
Also, meh @ movies about mass effect. I want an MMO made out of it

You're fixed in third. It's a cover based mechanic, which doesn't work too well in first person.
double Edit for more info:
Today Steam has both Mass Effect games for 50% off. I'd recommend them. -------------------

Mass effect universe? Fun gameplay? Having your own crew?
Doesn't seem that hard of a concept to grasp to me...

I see problems working in an MMO format, though. _____________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008

Doesn't mean it can't work. And if it did work, it would be EPIC.
Everyone could hire a crew, build or buy a ship, explore worlds, build empires or organizations, player made or otherwise, maybe build space stations. It doesn't have to follow the reaper stuff, it could just be an mmo set in the mass effect universe, which I would DROOL over. |

I picked up Grotesque Tactics: Evil Heroes haven't played one of these since Shining Force on the genesis lol. Its a little unpolished but knew that going in but happy with the sale price and has kept me amused for several hours now.
Grabbed Overlord pack, Witcher, Simcity 4, and Gothic pack... really just wanted 1-3 but Steam has this way of discounting to make me buy extra stuff
Might do little more shopping as the sale wraps up but as it is now have more games than time to play them.

Just imagine "Mass effect, the Terminus wars" where you play a warlord type of character and fight it out with the other warlords in the Terminus for control of wealth, resources and access to technology. Game play could vary between outright fighting and PVE with some industry and science stuff, make it like STO except good so it comes with space ship and land action.

And the best part: I can sexually harass my Yeoman (just like I already do in Mass Effect 2. Wonder what Cerberus HR would do if she didn't respond positively to it )

Once again, M+B: Warband is on sale, gogoogo.
Also, Crysis Maximum is $10, or $5 for Warhead - which can be used to play the most awesome mod ever, MECHWARRIOR LIVING LEGENDS. Truth be told, this was the only game I was hoping would be on sale for this very reason
