i played vegas 2 and it was only possible with another human being right next to me. the game was so comically stupid and bad.

[John Galt]

hey comrade, i like starcraft. or actually, i more like watching people play starcraft as i'm not as good as them.

as comrade said, Europa Univeralis 4 and Crusader Kings 2 (I have over 1000 hrs played between them if that means anything to you), and if you want a builder then of course Minecraft and evcen more fun and creative is Space Engineers

Portal 2 is so so much fun (and way better than the first). I try to play it once a year, hoping beyond hope i'd forget most of the puzzles. But do you want a more fun puzzle game? DO you? the most fun you've had in a years since you were a wee lad? Get Fez. You'll come into this room and this music plays called Sync and holy shit i've never played a game that had such a perfect song. i listen to this soundtrack a lot though. like i was right now before i opened this thread. i played that game with a N64 controller plugged into my computer

f you want a pretty fun shooter but would like a challenger where you end up completing the entire game without killing anyone, try Dishonored

if you want a single player waste forever amounts of time on giant open beautiful world of course one must play Skyrim

if you want a f**k puzzler, try Anti-Chamber

you want fun little puzzles that will take a few hours, try Limbo and Thomas Was Alone

you want a zen city builder? try Banished

want a more crazy one? try Anno 2070

want the best one? try Factorio. okay that's not a city builder. but it kinda is? and it's better?

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE

if you hold off ordering until tommorrow



that's right, you can get everything and more for 20% of the price if you just hold your f**k horses

well, Starcraft, Minecraft, and Factorio aren't on steam, you'll have to look elsewhere

[The Comrade]

if ya gonna play an elder scrolls game i recommend morrowind with a graphics overhaul mod. skyrim is great but morrowind is so bizarre. it's a jewel in the TES crown.

also the summer sale starts today

[John Galt]

ack, i thought it was 10pm not 10am. okay, yes, steam is about to get a lot of money from me

speaking of which

SALE

witcher 2 ($4), farcray 3 ($8), mirror's edge ($5), don't starve ($4) all on sale right now

[The Comrade]

i'm about to buy like half my wishlist for 50% off. gonna be great!

[broken robot]

[John Galt]

yes the sale will still be on. it has daily deals and 8 hr sales every day though, so you might want to set up an account and start buying now.

for example, at this moment, the entire farcry series is 15 bucks and will be for the next 15 hrs, while anno 2070 is 7.50 and will be for the next 7.5 hrs. lots of stuff stays at 50% off at least for the entire sale though. e.g., EU4 and CK2 is 50% off for the whole sale, but there may be some days in there where it's even more

civ 5... civ 5 is okay, but it doesn't last IMO

just so you know, EU and CK are very in depth games which is why they are SO f**k AWESOME. but people like exploited are terrified little pussies about it because it's a lot to take in. helpful things include watching people's let's plays on youtube
