i bought it too. not sure why though lol

From the reviews I'm seeing, people who like that sort of game say it's very much worth it. I bought it this sale, the deluxe edition for $22.49.

I really want that, because I thoroughly enjoyed Elemental when it was released, despite how utterly broken that was. This looks like a more refined and detailed version of that. But yeah...the 4x time sink as mentioned. Plus, this year I really don't have the money to spend on games that I may not play for some time. I'm still holding out for that Original Sin sale to hit ~$23 either on steam or again on GMG as someone mentioned earlier.

Anybody play Papers, Please? I see that its got really good reviews, its been on my wish list for awhile, haven't been able to pull the trigger yet though.

That looks pretty awesome. I randomly watched the demo of that some month or so ago and I want to try it out. My GF hates games with a passion (chess freak, though), and I thought it might be the first type of game that would interest her, having grown up under Soviet Occupation.

I was not aware until now that Big Gay Al was a software developer.

You know I have not been able to update my elemental game because I do not know where the code is yet after reading that the patches and sequels all drastically mess up the gameplay not sure I want to even with the bugs and crap.

Stardock once had their own loader, then it was bought by Gamestop ~ elemental time, and I forget what that was called. If you can log into that, if it is still on your system, your code is probably buried in their somewhere.

I was able to reactivate it through steam and update for free to Enchanted whatever it is now called.

...I also think Stardock sent me an email when all of that happened (The Fallen Enchantress overhaul and official release). If you bought the game when it was Elemental, then Stardock gave you a free upgrade to Fallen Enchantress, with Legendary Heroes DLC, I think...

Now that I recall, I think the FE key was just sent to me in that email. If you can search whatever email you used through Stardock, then you probably have a key in there with the Fallen Enchantress upgrade. You should be able to activate it on steam.

Just go through your email accounts and search for Stardock or Fallen Enchantress/Elemental?

It was called Impulse.

I actually found Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes to be quite good if that means anything. I know it isn't exactly the same game as Elemental, but I think most of Stardock's efforts went into the updated game. I really enjoy the game but I just don't do much 4X gaming anymore. It takes me a long time to feel comfortable with those games and there are so many other games out there!

Why does the main page keep saying
"These offers end in 1 day and 6 hours"? When its actually just 6 hours.

The main deals run for two days. When the new set of deals comes around the previous day's deals move down into the "Yesterday's Deals" section (still with the deal price). Unless you are seeing something different.

Ya, while they're not the current deals, they are still at the sale price an extra day. Not deals like the community picks though, I think.

Oh boy, just got a jprg trails in the sky because of great player reviews.

Dang, that does look good.

I have never really played a JRPG, unless Ocarina of Time counts. Might be fun to try something new.

 

[Bateluer]

Lol, Sacred 3 already 50% off.

 

[cytoSiN]

Lol, Sacred 3 already 50% off.

And still over priced

It's oldschool and grindy. I've been playing it for the last few weeks off and on. If that's not your thing eh...

Its not the type of game that usually comes to PC (it's a Vita port), but a very good port. Plays best with a controller. So far it's run of the mill in terms of a JRPG. Not sure that I'm far enough in to comment on how the story is yet. It's just starting to get into it. Although I would recommend it over Agerest.

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

you guys are slacking. i'm trying to buy 13 copies of orion horde but after i bought my first 4 pack the option to buy it as a guest is grayed out. anyone know a workaround?

i figured it out. can't buy a second 4 pack. have to buy them as individual copies.

Wish I'd had your input before getting it, I wouldn't have based on what you're saying - people were going nuts how good it was.

Well I was just pointing out that it is nothing like Ocinara, and it is a true JRPG. Fans of JRPG's love it. I am one of those, Im just not far enough in to say if it is really good or not. Since you said you hadn't played any before, grinding is a key piece of info

Grinding is a key piece of info since I hate it. No interest in Asian MMO's because of that.

What happens if I own a game and then buy the GOTY edition (for the DLC)?

Your game will be upgraded to the GOTY edition and you'll get all the DLC that comes along with it, AFAIK.

I think Steam "upgrades" your license/game.

For example, I owned Orcs Must Die stand alone game. I bought a humble bundle that included the "complete" version of OMD....all the DLC included. I activated that on Steam and my old stand alone game was replace with the complete edition (with all the DLC). It didn't mess with my achievements or save games or anything......

I think it varies. I have Fallout 3 and Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition right next to each other in my list.
