Or you could get:


All of this games are better then Titan Quest and DD is also great.

How did you manage to actually pick the one Hack&Slash game that's actually worse than Titan Quest to recommend? Dungeon Siege III is so shit, that even CoOp didn't manage to salvage it. Titan Quest is at least bearable when played in CoOp, but by the time you arrive in Egypt you'll probably be sick of it too.

Nothing is worse then Titan Quest (well maybe Hellgate London). Dungeon Siege 3 is a bad game but I managed to finish it, which makes it automatically better then TQ which is simply horrible and incredibly dull.

I just bought a bunch of shit. I got the Valve megapack because it is a no brainer for the price. Mostly I want to play Portal 1 and 2 again but also the HL2 episodes as well, and maybe check out some version of Counterstrike if it isn't dead. I also got Supreme Commander 1, 2, and forged alliance, I mostly like playing the single player campaign when I am stressed and want to nuke stuff but I never owned my own copy before. Then I got Comanche 4 for my lil Nephew who likes flying games but is too noob to play grown up ones. And I bought Blackguards DLC, no idea what it is but it was cheaper than a slice of bread and they deserve my money anyway.

By the way, this is an example for a bad deal. The bundle has been already cheaper by €7 on Steam this year, and it doesn't take any items you already have in account.
It isn't a bad deal, just not as a good as the previous one (75 against 85).
Moreover, there is no indication that it will be cheaper again, since Amplitude has become a Sega's bitch.
And if you already bought something, you can buy other Endless packs separately, they're also 75% off.

The base price was also raised by 20%.

The cheapest way to get the Endless Legend DLC at this moment is the Endless Legend Expansion Set. This one takes owned items into account.

The price was raised even before they made a 85% discount, like a year ago, and they lowered it 2 months ago by ~20%.

A lot of this stuff has been on Abandonia for at least a decade. But it is nice to have the legit version on Steam I guess.

Hmm, I think I'm going to get Titan Quest.
Reading good things about it.
It's a p boring game tbh, get Grim Dawn or Torchlight 2 instead.




All of this games are better then Titan Quest and DD is also great.


Van Helsing might be a good game, but the way the camera worked sucked. It distorted the view so badly that when monsters were coming at you from one angle they would appear on screen and immediately be right on top of you where as from another angle they would be distant, the images look distorted. And besides that it seemed like they would all die anyway as long as I just kept shooting in their general vicinity, something about the combat did not feel 'connected', I can't explain it.

For example the combat in Grim Dawn felt much more enjoyable (even if it is mostly easy too), as your actions feel like they carry 'weight'. I refunded Van Helsing, even though the atmosphere etc looked sort of interesting. I think Grim Dawn is an overall superior product.

As far as Titan Quest, its not a great game, may not even be good, but I do think it is worth the small amount of money it costs now and is enjoyable enough as just a time waster when I don't feel like getting deeply involved in something like War in the East or Silent Hunter III etc..

Nope, can't find anything.
Was tempted by the Banner Saga (which was actually suggested to me before), but I read how combat works, and.. no. At least not right now.
Darn "meh" sale.

Picked up Death Road to Canada. Not bad, like a quick SNES type game. Looking at Dead Cells too but I think I need a controller for games like that.

While browsing aimlessly I stumbled on this thingie, looks kind of cute.
What do Codexers say, worth the time?
Never played anything of the Tower Defense genre.

Careful! Last I checked that had been abandoned by it's devs (most of them are missing or whatever) and was all buggy and shit.
Crashed a bunch when I tried it again a few months ago. Also much worse performance than it used to have.

Originally it was a nice enough time-waster. TD with heroes as towers basically, who level up and you can spend stat points on their various abilities. Has a story.
Very simple ultimately, also pretty easy.

At some point it got a HD update which broke a lot of stuff and killed the performance when you speed up to max (which you will want to do most of the time). They were working on a second game for the series but then the dev team went quit/missing and it only occasionally gets an update or something from like 1 guy.

Just checking now, but it seems he just released an update again. Haven't played again.
The original (non-hd) version of the game (may have to run in compatibility mode?) is included in the package I think, you could play that instead of the HD one if needed.


There are few "good" TD games and this is, I guess, sort of one of them. Don't expect too much. Better than No Man's Sky though :D

And yeah... Meh sale unless you skipped a bunch of interesting games in the past or something.
I thought of buying M.A.X. since my physical copy is long gone, but it seems to be some shitty fan version or something.

I did skip several interesting games probably but I make it a point to only buy with good discounts unless I want to play RIGHT NOW.
I bought nu XCOM full price for instance, as I got the itch.
But for games that go in cold storage "for the moment"... huge discounts or nothing. Which is mostly what's missing from this sale.
