Is Faery: Legends of Avalon any good?
Has anyone played Faery: Legends of Avalon? How bad is it?

I hear it's shovelware, but really, nothing substantial.

Sid Meier's Colonization and Covert Actions released on Steam:

Available in a pack together with Pirates: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/52622/

WTF $7 for Colonization Classic? Should be freeware considering they made a Civ 4 version. Good game, and loved the old sound track but 2K is getting desperate with these cash grabs.

Wait a minute, it's those Night Derps people again.

 

[tuluse]

The Civ4 version is not a strict upgrade/remake of the original game.

[still wouldn't buy it though, pre Civ2 strategy games tend to be rough to play]

 

[Metro]

It's good but fairly basic in terms of strategy.

Soo, "Of Orcs and Men" worth the price at -75%? Seems a bit action-y, but then again I did manage to play through the entirity of Mars: War Logs...

 

[Markman]

Fucking kids, man. 40 euros down the drain

[Drakron]

I guess you REALLY wanted to be a Disney Princess ...

 

[Baron Dupek]

I don' see TRON 2.0 on your list.

As a storyfag game it's not as good as GoT, but it's still worth it at least one playthrough. Mainly for the duo of the characters.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Or Long Live The Queen.

 

[Baron Dupek]

Actually, that bunch of kids games is not that shameful.
Internet Explorer on the other hand...

 

[Grunker]

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Why would you install ALL the Disney games at once? The little shits will feel overwhelmed and just play each one for ten minutes.

 

[Markman]

She played only one yesterday for an hour or so, she'll keep at it till its completed. First Princess game didnt work so I should an angry email to somebody, second Princess game(from 2012) worked but it lacks controller support and it has shitty ilogical controls(but the kid didnt mind).
Also fuckers lied with the localization, english got voiced everything while in swedish only the tutorial narrator is voiced, while the dialog and story parts are not. My almost 6 year old cant read that fluent or fast enough yet, so its a bit of shame.

Sounds like a learning experience, tell her to git gud.

 

[Mastermind]

I used strategy in counter-strike once. I heard some guy coming around the corner so I waited for him to pop over and shot him in the face. They kicked me out of the game for camping.

diks

 

[IDtenT]

Might as well let the game teach them to read.

I remember there was this math or language game way back when I was young. Fun shit.

 

[LESS T_T]

"Strategy game: a game that make me think more than following around the arrows."

Seriously, Strategy tag is all over the place.

Seriously, Strategy tag is all over the place.

It really is, I was browsing it not five minutes ago to see if there was anything ANNO-ish that I hadn't seen yet. Instead got a bunch of shooters and F2P garbage.

 

[Bubbles]

That's what you get when you allow users to apply tags. I also enjoy the Adventure top 10, which includes Borderlands, DayZ, and Ryse: Son of Rome.

 

[LundB]

Nah, this is separate from tags. Steam's genre divisions have always been pretty lolwut-worthy, especially RPG and Strategy.

Is is just a coincidence that all the games in Grunker's shot are user-tagged as "Strategy"?
