^ Most at shit discounts and solely for the purpose of adding entries to your library rather than playing.

I bet there's a point buried somewhere in your post, hidden and waiting to be found. Got any hints for me to seek it out?

So far only bought SW; Empire At War Gold only to learn that in-built online has been disabled earlier this year. :

Yeah, sucks. You can still play it online through GameRanger though.

 

[Hoaxmetal]

Wow, someone made a sequel to chess, how neat is that

Yeah but it's dumbed down and it's called Checkers now.

Well, someone could point out that at least one title in there is free. I'm not gonna trawl through the whole list to see if there are more of them, but the fact that you're just padding your Steam account to try to look worthy in the eyes of Gaben significant in any manner is obvious to everyone by now.

Ho fuck, i just bought both the Anno games and i only now noticed that it has some bullshit 3 hardware activation limit. You got to be fucking shitting me, right? Did i just throw 16 euros down the tubes?

 

[Lyric Suite]

I guess i can live with that. I really hate wasting money on bullshit and didn't know those type of idiotic protection systems still existed.

BTW, am i going crazy or wasn't there more Anno games on steam than those two? I remember seeing Anno 1701 at least, but maybe my brain fog is tricking me.

If you use chrome or firefox, there's Enhanced Steam, which has many neat features, including telling you if a game uses drm or if it's available for a lower price elsewhere.

Hi, welcome to the kodex, who are you again? Now kindly go back to the begging thread and wait for me to grace you with more drops you diseased beggar.

1701 was there, and Dawn of Discovery was pulled but was later re-added.

Edit: Also on the topic of Anno games I agree with Konjad that they're all similar enough that there isn't any one that's massively better than the rest. As red blooded god-fearing American I lean toward 2070 though because hamburgers are a resource in it, and goddamn pirates will attack your hamburger freighters so you need a powerful military to protect the burgs.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Well, aren't they smart for pulling games out of Steam.

 

[commie]

Wish they had the first two Codename Panzers games instead of the shit one and Hidden and Dangerous series on Steam or GOG or wherever! One of the best RTS series out there(Bit like MOW though more closer to traditional RTS and the best WW2 FPS/TPS tactical game series, and not a fucking peep anywhere??

 

[uaciaut]

Yo i'm back to ask which tropico game(s) should i start the series with?


Also shadowrun: dragonfall - yay or nay.

The first one remains the best from what I've read.

And yes, if you like somewhat limited, but fun rpgs.

nopenopenopenopeNOPE.

Get Tropico 4 honestly. Each Tropico has been a slight upgrade over the last. Five is probably better than Four, but doesn't feature enough of an upgrade to warrant the significantly higher price. Four is very close to being the same experience.

Be prepared for nothing spectacular - just an amusing little city builder with different victory conditions on each island (One island will make you focus on tourism, one will make you grow a giant papaya, one will have a big crime problem, etc)

This. Just get 4 and wait for 5 and all the DLC to be in a future bundle.

Dawn of Discovery/Anno 1404 is also one of the few games on Steam where the Euro version is cheaper. $8.99 or €3.74 for the Gold version.

Is Bad Company 2 still active? It seems to have a lot of glowing reviews, even for the single player, but its Steam reviews.

 

[Markman]

EA's Battlefield Bad Company? Its free on Origin if Im not wrong. Download and check it out. Singleplayer should be solid.

 

[DramaticPopcorn]

^Bad Company's online is pretty much dead, at least from half a year ago. It occasionally springs to life when some popular BF streamers decide to play it but that doesn't happen very often. Maybe with steam sale its online will become online again I dunno

Dudes, is Dragon Commander's RTS part any good? From the gameplay clips it doesn't look that interesting really. Just attack move all units towards the enemy base

 

[Jick Magger]

Everything other than the RTS part of it is pretty good.

 

[Metro]

It's basically a Choose Your Own Adventure thing. If the story is worth $10 to you, have at it.
