You guys recommend the Crysis Maximum Edition? Do enough people play Crysis online? Is it fun?

 

hahaha sc4 does go on sale!

these sales aren't half bad but i get a feeling most of these games showed up during the summer sale.

 

Just got Serious Sam HD Gold. My damage so far? In reverse order:

Serious Sam Gold Pack (just bought)
FlatOut Ultimate Carnage (haven't played)
Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY (Would have played by now if not for my connection going down Sunday night)
Civilization V (no horrible glitches so far)
Battlefield 2 (haven't played yet)
Mass Effect
Mass Effect 2
Just Cause 2
Spore (some regret)
Super Meat Boy (gamepad could help)
Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box (REALLY need a gamepad)
Battlefield Bad Company 2 Standard Edition (gift)

Might get SimCity 4, but I don't know...

 

Crysis maximum pack for 9.99 for today (75% off).

 

grabed crysis complete pack, 15 dollars hehe

 

What's the difference btw complete pack and maximum edition?

 

Well, don't that beat all. Sim City 4 Deluxe Edition $4.99 today.

 

Hey whadya know the complete pack is $10.

 

so crysis is good? how about the doom games?

 

global agenda no longer has any subscription fees, is this game worth it now?

 

complete pack has crysis and crysis warhead and if its the same as the disc version you should also get crysis wars multiplayer but theres no mention of it on the page.

 

I dont have access to crysis maximun edition, so the complete pack apparently comes with crysis, crysis warhead, crysis wars. Dunno rly since I don rly know anything bout these games lol...

 

Tempted to get the Crysis complete pack, however the SecuROM DRM on crysis is putting me off
I don't know if there is a revoke tool for the 5 machine activations limit on steam or not, but 2 pounds is tempting

 

Weird. I got crysis maximum edition, which includes crysis, crysis warhead, and crysis wars for 9.99. I guess Madstrike lives in Europe or something?

 

Crysis has a sandbox sort of style that is a love hate thing
I personally enjoyed it, and of course it looks good

DOOM 3 is one of the scariest games I have ever played, and for this price its a massive steal, even though it is fairly old it still looks decent

 

yeah I guess its the same thing then heh, but I live in brazil, and we usually get screwed with prices here, but 15 dollars is still fine hehe...

 

Is Crysis Wars any fun? Is it still populated with people?

 

dam steam with your awsome sale no money in my acount
and money dosent get payed in till end of week
and banks arnt open till tommorow to deposit

 

Don't know I'm afraid, I've only played Crysis 1 myself
I have heard its fun, but can't say anything about the number of people playing it

 

they will prolly do a recap on the last day though...

might grab sim city 4 as well

any input on kings bounty?lol

what about mount and blade is it jsut multiplayer or does it also have decent single player?

 

if you havnt played crysis or crysis wars then its a must. warhead was shorter than the original but for that price you cant go wrong.
its one of those must have games like the orange box that you,er must have

 

just picked up rush and one of the indie packs

 

Have you ever played Heroes of Might and Magic V? King's Bounty's almost the same, except that King's Bounty is real-time based when you are moving in a map. The battle system's the same - turn based.

 

Well, here is my take on it.

Last year I got Crysis Maximum Edition pack on Steam. It was during the holiday sales for maybe the same price I don't really remember. It comes with Crysis, Crysis Warhead, and Crysis Wars.

Crysis Wars is still populated but nowhere close to BC2. There are a handful of servers, I would say enough to have a good time. I thought all Crysis games were awesome. They are really fun. I beat Crysis, and Warhead twice, second time on hardest difficulty because I liked them so much. Crysis Wars is the game that I have put the most amount of hours into; about 175. The only reason I stopped playing was because of BC2. I think its multiplayer is classic. And for $9.99, you can't go wrong.

Now, I grew up with Doom (as most of us did really) so I am strongly considering getting this. I've had the Doom series on my wishlist for as long as there has been a whishlist on Steam!

We'll see what happens.

 

Well, at least my wallet gets a day to recover .

 

I hear you mate, I'm just not happy with the 5 machine activation limit on crysis

 

I should have waited. I bought Crysis last week. I played Crysis and Warhead on my previous desktop (HD4870) a while back, but I got the Steam version for my laptop even though the 260GTX is not quite powerful enough.

I'll get Warhead for sure.

 

Can anyone do me a favor? Buy me Crysis Max edition, section 8 and doom complete pack and I'll gift you a game worth $25 on Dec 30th

 

I just payed $12.49 for Crysis Pack. Is tht US version cheaper??

 

the maximum ed price for the US is 9.99 dollars. Just about less than 3 dollars cheaper.

 

Hmmm I too am interested in SimCity 4. Does anyone recommend this to someone who has never delved into the Sims games or city building genre?

In other news, I think it's finally time to try my hand at Crysis.

 

I personally liked Sim City 3000 more than Sim City 4, although the graphics are a step up with SC4. I think you'll like it for the price.

I just bought Crysis Maximum, Dirt 2, and last night I picked up Serious Sam Gold and Machinarium.

 

was warhead better optimized?

 

Hmmmm, to get Crysis or not?

What are the cons about it? People here seem to love it.

 

I'm considering Crysis as well, but I already have a lot of shooters, and would only be interested in the storyline. Is it pretty good? or is it only worth it for the incredible graphics and such?

 

Hardware requirements ! Although it's now a 3+ year old game so most newer hardware should run it fine. It will give me the opportunity of trying out my 6870.

The story isn't bad and the AI is pretty good for a shooter but yeah the graphics are the top draw. First game to boast DX10 as a requirement and took advantage of it. Still not bad for a $10 game. If you liked Far Cry 1 & 2 you should like Crysis.

 

Id consider it more of a graphic game, it has a story but nothing super amazing. Its a fun game though.

 

The only con would be that the hardware requirement. The story is the usual 2 sides fighting with a 3rd side popping up and pooping the party for everyone. I think a lot of people like it because of the flexibility the suit gives when it comes to completing objectives. For example I spent most of my game invisible and running away from direct confrontation and picking off enemies from afar when I absolutely had to. And contrary to Warhead, the map is almost completely open:you can almost go anywhere and do whatever you want.

EDIT: My plastic is looking pretty charred, metaphorically speaking. Does anyone know what's in the next wave? I'm thinking about ending my shopping spree today.

 

Thanks for the reply. After your and another's comments, I'm sold (especially for $5, I'll try out my first city builder). Picked up this and Crysis complete pack to try out my new desktop I'm building.

I'm still holding out for deals on Singularity, Transformers War for Cybertron, and a deeper sale on Divinity II, though the first two are from Activision so I'm not exactly holding my breath.

 

Are the steam deals over? i refreshed the homepage to find the catalogue UI replaced with the normal one. I thought it went on till 2nd jan

 

wow, this is prolly the worst day of sales? I might get the ball, and thats it...

 

I can still have the catolge, with the cilent.

 

It takes a minute sometimes.

Should I get Kane and Lynch 2 or Dead Space? I'm only going to pick one.

 

Anyone have Greed Corp? Looks fun, but so did Top Gun .....

 

Ive only heard bad things about kane and lynch 2, but I havent played it... nor want to...

to be honest Ill just skip games today since they all look like crap to me.

 

Plants Vs. Zombies is awesome, already have it for my iPod though. Excellent toilet game.

 

Dead Space ! You not gonna regret it.

 

You can play Kane & Lynch for 30 minutes (as many times as you want) on OnLive provided you have the connection for it if you want to play something outside of the demo. Personally, I didn't like it.

 

Dead Space, worth every penny of £5... excellent game
