I voted for L4D2 becuase I was voting against the other two choices. I didn't want to, but it was the least bad.

That makes no sense. it sounds like you already have LFD2 if you can ascertain its quality.

Why would it even matter to you? Did you plan to buy LFD2?

Because I was opposing the other games. I forget what one was, but that Infestation game is one where the developer treated customers badly. Players asked to vote 'no'.

Won't be much longer before sellers of the Summer Getaway cards will be PAYING buyers to take their cards.....

Since the badge has 5 levels - something I remembered after selling some cards for 20 or 25 cents - there will be some demand for the whole sale.

not $3 but like 4.99.....big deal....seems stupid to vote for games that have already gone pretty low many times before.

That's not what you were saying earlier. You're also forgetting that the augmented edition will get more shaved off its price as well.

The fact is, this game has never been offered lower. By your own reasoning, it was a valid choice.

3 copies of Castle Crashers available; bought the 4 pack.




No group purchasing and no selling of any kind in PC Gaming.

That sounds like a personal problem. I'm not going to re-hash our back and forth for you. It's very likely that you are just incapable of actually saying what you mean, in which case my retorts would seem odd. But you've been arguing a circle that makes your original complaint invalid by your own logic.

I personally fail to see the point in anyone complaining about what gets picked as a flash sale. Those flash prices always show up in a daily deal. It's just a matter of timing in regards to purchases.

So vote for what you want, and stop whining when your choice doesn't get picked.

Does anyone know anything about Reus?

I watched a friend play a little bit. You control four (I think it's four, anyway) giants that control different physical aspects of small worlds, and then humans come and populate those worlds and you have to keep them happy/safe/etc. There are a few videos of people playing it online. It looks interesting, but I'm not sure how much depth there is.

Leaning against natural selection. I like the description of the RTS part of the game, and people are complimenting it as a good FPS, but it mentions a long time needed to play it at all well, and a lot of coordination needed by teams, and that 'one good players can wipe out whole other teams'. Sounds like a lot of frustration and FPS isn't a favorite anyway.

It takes awhile to get the hang of because they are a good handful of different things to learn. How well your team does really comes down to how good your commander is in many cases. The game is noob friendly though in a lot of ways. They have noob friendly servers that are highlighted different colors so people that play in them expect to play with noobs as well. When you first start playing your name is green to everyone else which lets them know you are new, also asking for help or what to do and the commander will tell you. If you can listen and take simple commands you are fine. A lot of times you are with 1-2 other teammates and you are ordered to defend this area or not go pass xxx.

A good player can obviously clean house like ANY online game and change the tide for his team.

My recommendation for people that first start playing is to play as the Marines only for awhile. They are much more straight forward and easy to understand as they play like a normal FPS. The Aliens are much more difficult to learn the game with and require a high level of skill and understanding due to how they are set up.

When I first started playing, one of my first few games I had a commander that helped out a bunch of the new people by giving us simple commands like hold this area and when other stuff would come up, he would tell us how to do xxx. A lot of people use voice comms in the game so it works out well.

See, now you're making me want to play. But I really don't have time for MP games right now, which makes me sad 🙁
