I'm so there. Literally. I remember playing Ion Fury, then Ion Maiden at Pax East and immediately bought the presale steam key at the booth. Since then, I've had a blast. I'll be at Pax East next weekend, so I'll definitely be at this booth again. Bring on the sequel!

I was extremely underwhelmed by the demo which had, by far, the dumbest open world busy work bullshit activities I have had the misfortune of experiencing in a game in a very long time.

Now read some reviews and moved the game from the wishlist to 'ignore' on Steam. A shame it had to end like this...

Same. I was looking forward to this and the demo. I can't believe how quickly I uninstalled the demo. What the heck was a time trial based activity doing here with loops and all? It felt so out of touch of what the original was like. I'll hold out for a decent amount of reviews and just IF they convince me, I'd maybe try it again when it hits the bargain bin.

For anyone else, Outcast Second Contact is well worth the purchase to try the original with a very nice new coat of paint.

Most of the initial current sales that I am finding have been on sale for a week or more. I follow "isthereanydeal.com" ; have been for years. You trying to pull a fast one on me GabeN? Thinking

There are some discounts that took effect with the start of the sale, though. Warhammer TW 3 is 50% off. I'm on the fence...
Remember, steam does not set sale prices. it only invites companies to participate in their sale event. in this case some companies have realized if they put their products on sale earlier then they will not have to compete as much with all the other companies that have sales during the event. there is like no downside to it.

Yeah, they start their sale earlier and then coast into the actual sale week(s) to have their sales extended.

Pilots falling asleep during the flight. Great. Just another reason to hate flying. It's bad enough we can have a plane falling apart in the sky with awake pilots. Now you can have a plane falling apart with asleep pilots. Uggggh. Why haven't we created telepods yet?

Yeah, think I heard it was down to Henry Cavill or Aaron Taylor-Johnson but no idea.

I thought it was said that Henry was too old to take the role? Considering whoever takes it is locked in for a few years to put out, what? 3-4 movies?

If there was a game that I always wished that would be back in circulation for public sale, either "No One Lives Forever" or "Saboteur" would have been it. Thrilled that it is here.

For a second I misread NOLF was here in this post and looked all over for it, lol. Though yes, Saboteur was a very good game when it came out. Very nice art style and highly enjoyable. Animation was on point.

There was a Chow Yun-Fat videogame called "Stranglehold" that I would love to see re-sold. It was the best copy of Max Payne that you could get, and it had Chow Yun-Fat. I lost my game disc in one of my moves and it still bugs me.

I'm hoping the LOTR rts games from the mid 2000's get resold on Steam. I thought that they were fantastic. They were EA games so it might happen now.

Yep, I remember trying the demo for Stranglehold and thought it was pretty badass. Not sure how I never "acquired" it back then other than being broke and probably it was too big of a game to install that I didn't have the hdd space for.

I also remember the RTS LOTR games and still remember the behind the scenes videos on them. I remember the one developer talking about how the troops will no longer stand around doing nothing when you don't move them, but rather have idle animations. Something he hated in other RTS games where the troops looked stiff and didn't do anything when standing around, lol. That right there was a huge selling point for me! Lol.

I'm glad that the next freebie will be Deus Ex. Now you have no excuse not to at least try it. Nothing beats the original but Mankind Divided was still a great game.

I remember buying the original when it first came out and my PC could barely handle it. I think I ran the game with like 10fps, it was horrendous, yet I didn't stop trying. I got pretty far playing like that, lol. I never tried the newer ones much, though own them.

This is quite the power move by EGS. Give away something free that isn't out yet on Steam and Steam which will be obviously charging for it. Granted this isn't like they're pulling this with a Dead Island 2 or something. Now THAT would impress me. Cmon EGS, you don't have the ballz!! I dare ya!!

Remastered Collection #2, please, including RA2 and Tiberian Sun, kthx .

I would love a remaster of Tiberian Sun and of course Red Alert 2. Tiberian Sun was my first official step into the RTS world. I had a blast with it. Gave me the hype feels for Red Alert 2's release which was ironic because back then, I would have never thought I'd get super hyped up for an RTS game. I thought they were boring, slow paced, yadada.

My excitement for an RTS greater than Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge was only exceeded by Warcraft 3. I loved Blizzard's guide pages they had for upcoming games. You could peruse everything about the units to learn about them before it released and they included a gif of their 3D models on the webpage. Was super cool back then. Simpler times

No FUCKING SHIT!

I have to press five different buttons on the touch screen to turn off the steering wheel heater, and that's just to navigate to the ONE required button. This is a one button problem!

The US Navy learned this lesson the hard way after fucking up a few warships. Touch screens look cool on TV and in movies, but are not practical at all in real life.

That's the problem. They do it because they believe it screams "futuristic" and "technology", but it lacks efficiency or practicality. We shouldn't have to ever really take our eyes away from the road at any point when driving. The more you require me to do that, the less safe I am.

Anything that you need to use let's say 90% of the time while you are driving should probably be a physical button/knob/switch whatever.

Volume control with a screen is a big no just as much as I'd say the HVAC controls. I don't know about everyone else, but I'm often rotating where the heat blows or even how extensive and I don't want that to be another one that I need to click through screens to adjust.

I hate these yearly based games. Just how many improvements can you add over the prior years to justify an entire new game? Why not have a base game and release some yearly DLC/expansions for it that ups the roster to keep it current? Then when you're ready for a HUGE update in everything including technology used, start working on a new version.

I suppose that is what Rockstar has done with GTA V in that they dropped so much content while they bake GTA 6 that it can hold people off. I bet in all honest, GTA is another title that they could have dropped yearly releases with barely any updates and the masses would eat them up. GTA 2025! Now with the ability to piss in public!

Looking forward to it. Really wish it was the team that did Shadow Tactics/Shadow Gambit, but I'm praying these folks know a thing or two about the genre and the game's legacy. Consider me signed up.

Counter strike 2? Bullshit! Yeah if it's so fucking good why does the player count drop to 0 at 0200 every single day? It's a trash game thats why! Just look at the steam chart, games looks like it's on life support, only thing keeping Valve in business is Steam, so of course they are going to post fake news about their so called 30+ million so called users who don't even game or whatever.


Uuuuh, some Counter Strike 2 hate here I see. Well then, maybe I shouldn't add to the fact that I was a numeric value in that 1,497,245 concurrent players today. Sorry, the game sucks so much for you. 1,497,245 players would disagree.

Oh and to add to this hot topic. I'll say, no matter what you say, productivity isn't the same working at home vs an office. YOUR productivity may be the same or better, but the overall productivity company wise takes a dip. I can honestly say, I'm one of the best productivity wise in my department. There is only 1 other equal to me and the rest aren't even close. That said, I KNOW my productivity goes down working from home. The truth is in the numbers and it shows. I do a decent amount less from home than in the office. There are just too many ways to get distracted in comparison to the office.

My job has a 2 days work from home being Monday and Friday, the other 3 in. You can still go to the office on those 2 days that they allow us to work from home and there are a few that still go in on Monday and Friday. They prefer the office as opposed to in-home distractions or even the lack of interaction of working at home.

I'll say, I honestly like a hybrid type. Working from home during covid was rather boring for me anyway. It's like, wake up, roll over to laptop, work. If I had no where to go that day, it would then be, finish work, get away from laptop, eat dinner, maybe shower (lol), play a game, go to sleep, rinse and repeat the next day. Not exactly eventful.

I like the balance of working from home on Monday where you avoid that, ugh, hate driving to work Monday right after the weekend traffic, and then the wild nuts leaving work Friday afternoon driving like aholes to get home early. Though I still enjoy being in the office Tues-Thurs. There is nothing like human interaction and that's coming from an introvert, lol.

Yo, that price is nuts for this. I've never played it, but would never pay that much for a game that old, even remastered.

I suppose everyone has their own Star Wars gaming nostalgia. For me, it was Shadows of the Empire on the N64. I remember doing to a spoiled buddies house on Christmas day and he fired it up. Nothing quite like seeing the Battle of Hoth on a day where it snowed in the morning and everything was white outside. Not to mention the classic sound effects and soundtrack. Was a very fine time to be a gamer. Though that game was also rough when it came to the controls. They could be hella awkward on foot.
