Everyone's magic is unique, I haven't seen the Claws yet.

Man, doesn't even look to play the same as the two I beat. Might wait until Xmas sale where they'll surely be on sale again, need to save my wallet now.

IIRC Chronicles and all other versions of I and II have that run into the enemy until it dies play style. I never touched the DS version though.

**Kaisha** · 2012-07-14 23:10

DS had it also. I kinda liked the simplicity of that game.

**Hitoshura** · 2012-07-14 23:16

I enjoyed them all, I am sure you will too. If you aren't looking for something too complex/difficult just play on Normal.

If anyone is contemplating getting that Civ 5 flash deal, go with Amazon instead. For $20 you get Civ 5 GOTY, Civ 4 Complete, & the Stronghold Collection (1+2+DLC) vs. $25 For the Civ 5 collection on Steam.

Got Witcher 2, game is fucking amazing. Much much better then Skyrim imo

**Hitoshura** · 2012-07-14 23:20

^I would buy it again, didn't realize it had achievements on steam.. shit! I bought digital collectors edition on Amazon for $15. QQ

**Kaisha** · 2012-07-14 23:20

Just a random note, but I love how all these crazy sales still haven't bumped Arma2's generic 20% sale of the top10 yet.

I already own a retail copy, so I'd feel stupid buying the game again when the GOG version I redeemed is good enough.

Spoiler: show

Cla'ws is by far the most unique of them since they keep true to his "close range only" style. His wind element is amazing early on to help you survive.

For those that snagged Borderlands I'd highly recommend this tool:

Borderlands Advanced Settings Tool

Though it looks like the DL links are dead so here's an alternative download:

**Kerberoz** · 2012-07-15 02:00

btw Orcs Must Die is fun as hell, for anyone contemplating it

**Corrderio** · 2012-07-15 02:02

Also because I don't feel like bumping the original Borderlands thread...

You can only raid the Crimson Armory a total of 4 times right? Once doing the storyline and the other 3 from the quests Marcus has available afterwards?

**Hyan** · 2012-07-15 02:22

Bought 4 games this time... hopefully I can resist buying more.

Trine 2, Portal 2, From Dust and Legend of Grimrock... 17,5€ total. Fuck yeah.

Assuming Quantum Conundrum wins out on the Community Choice vote, should I pick it up then or wait for it to go sale as a Daily Deal? I haven't payed close enough attention to see if any of those have been Daily Deals as well to see if the discount is the same. I know some of the Flash Deals have been Community Choice deals, but I also didn't pay attention to see if the discount was the same.

**Fereydoon** · 2012-07-15 03:53

Grabbed Ys: Oath in Felghana, debating on grabbing Binary Domain for 10 off amazon, or waiting to see if Deus Ex:HR gets any cheaper.

Edit: Penumbra collection for 5 bucks looks pretty enticing too...

**Lurking Badger** · 2012-07-15 05:34

I want to get the CivV expansion. Wonder if it will drop more than the current 25% off, since its a pretty new release.

**Elcura** · 2012-07-15 05:55

Fuck, I missed Ys: Origin! Any chance it'll go on sale again at the end or should I just pick it up at 40% off?

What's orcs must die about?

It's a mix between a tower defense and a third person shooter

It's a pretty addicting/fun/frustrating game
