My son is bugging me to buy two copies plus the DLC for $3, thinking about doing it, deal expires 11/8 10am pst. About $17 total for two, game is great, but thinking about how many times I've bought it so far in various versions.

Hmmm, I don't own it at all. Looks like I'll be picking up a copy.

Thanks!

Steam the last month has been on a roll with good prices. I wonder if this a portent of things to come?

I have got to stop buying games that I don't have time to play...must resist this one...

OMG I hear you. All these great 3$ games keep popping up and I keep buying them for me and my son. I've been eating better and instead of 7-10$ for lunch I can buy this or the GTA! Steam has been kicking some butt lately.

In for 1. The DLC is only for multiplayer and skirmish.

The word "portent" implies something bad is going to happen. I don't think that's the case. 😉

I'm leaving this one be though. As it is, I have far too many games to get caught up on and I can't justify adding another to the stable.

Changes in the game did make some old users mad, but my son has been playing a "demo" version for some time and likes it, so I will likely at least buy it for him.

I keep getting a steam error 51 everytime I start it..bah had the night off too...

$5 for this game already? Though I'm not surprised; I thought the first game was pretty stupid based on the demo. Still, I'll check out the demo for SP2.

 

[bryanW1995]

total reviews look terrible. think I'll play the demo before jumping on this game at any price.

 

[formulav8]

yeah after reading that review I think i'll pass. Alot of what he mentioned that was no longer in the game is some of the stuff I liked about the game. 🙁

 

[Patrick Wolf]

Dang, I thought the demo was pretty cool. Still not paying $5 for it though.

I know someone like this, who was an avid player of the original SupCom but hated SupCom2.

I'm wondering if all these haters would still hate if the units were changed (name and look) and the game was named something else?

Sounds like the same deal as Splinter Cell. A lot of fans of the original games didn't like the changes made in Conviction.
