Orcs Must Die 2 is a great game, especially if you have a friend to play it with.

1842

1,580 here. I likes the videogames.

1843

Gamestop has Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare for the PC/Origin - $20.

1844

Any opinions on it? I have been looking for a FPS that is casual and fun. And I’ve recently become addicted to PvZ2 on my Nexus7.

1845

I found Garden Warfare to be a blast and to actually have some longevity in my play rotation. A recent patch also fixed some of the really annoying problems like open mics. The gameplay mechanics are meatier than one might think considering the theme so while the game is approachable and skews to the casual side of the spectrum there is something there that keeps drawing me back.

Also the feeling you get as the Chomper burrowing under the ground then springing up to one-shot devour another player is just divine.

I found it a welcome break from Gritty Muted-Tones Terrorist Shooter 15.

3600+ there. That user is the leading Steam game collector for a couple of years now. So, um, yeah.

1847

Don’t journalists, like Tom, get all games on steam anyway? Does this guy somehow have even more than that?

1848

You know what I would like to see now? A graph with the distribution of number of games owned in % of the total steam population.

I suppose people with 1000 or more games are just 0.1% of the steam users? Or more? Or less? How many people already have >500 games, 10%? 15%? Etc

1849

I have no idea of the actual number of gamers with over 1000 games, but there is a steam group that they can join to brag about it.

1850

Titanfall for $30, Season Pass for $17 on Origin. The 2nd DLC is out now.

1851

Much regret at buying that season pass at release. I played maybe 2 hours on the first pack of dlc maps. I don’t even feel like installing the game to try the 2nd pack.

1852

As mind-boggling as the 3600+ figure is, I find it even more amazing that with that many games he still has 700+ wishlisted. If you had told me there were over 4400 games available on Steam I would have told you that sounded way too high, even with DLC thrown in.

1853

Saints Row 4 is 8$ on GreenManGaming. There’s an extra 20% off voucher if you spend 10$ or more.

We’ve also got a few decent long weekend console game sales in Canada this week. Walmart has several newly reduced Xbox One titles for 30$, and PS3 for 20$. This includes Lightning Returns (PS3), which is still 55$ everywhere else here. Kingdom Hearts on PS3 is also 20$ at many retailers, but Walmart & FutureShop are already sold out.

1854

Steam today: Chivalry: Medieval Warfare - $6.24 - (75% off).
[indent]Almost 50-50% split between yays and nays recommendations.[/indent]

Steam buried: Pixel Piracy - $7.49 - (50% off).
[indent]Version 1.0 released yesterday, sale will last until Monday.[/indent]

1855

Chivalry (and its expansion) is THE BEST competitive multiplayer action game out there.

1856

Dead Rising 3 for $33.75:

1857

For the curious, Steam Gauge says this about that guy’s Steam profile:

Over the last 4 years, you’ve spent 6466 hours playing this selection, which includes 3749 items, is valued at $43744.07, and requires 11621.9 GB.

That means that over the past 4 years he has spent an average of 20% of every day (or 4.42 hours) playing computer games on Steam. His most played games are Killing Floor (870.22 hours), Terraria (327.84 hours), Just Cause 2 (220.77 hours), Universe Sandbox (146.44 hours), Dungeons of Dredmor (122.42 hours), and Euro Truck Simulator 2 (113.7 hours). Although $43,744.07 seems like a lot to spend on games, given how much he plays, his cost per gaming hour is $6.77.

1858

Well, he certainly has good taste in games. Although 122 hours in Dredmor is a bit excessive.

1859

Excessive? I think not! Easily the best Rogue-like since Stone Soup. FTL has it’s charms (some of the situations you get in that game with half your ship on fire, half without air, and boarded by praying Mantises are incredible), and is probably 3rd on my list. Just has kind of a limited amount of replayability as the options of how to win are relatively few.

1860

122 hours for a great game is just scratching the surface. I have 318 into FTL.

Unfortunately, I didn’t find Dredmor to be a great game. I’ve got, uh, 3 hours. It’s not that it’s bad, it’s that it bored me. I fully intend to give it another try, after I wade through about 20 other games in my backlog.
