…because, as he stated when he mentioned buying it, that he teaches game design and likes to use odd indie games to challenge his classes and stimulate discussion.

Can anyone do a quick purchase of ME2 (regular) before the sale ends? I’ll pay you back today.

YES Terraria -75%! My patience has paid off :D

What is Terraria? A platformer?

2d Minecraft.

Interested in dead space 2, but it’s just a bit above the limit of my impulse purchase border. Additionally I’m annoyed that it is 14.99€ in the EU…

So, it’s some kind of open-world game where you can build stuff and light stuff on fire and try to hide out at night? I’m confused.

That’s what I was waiting for too. Done and done.

Yes, exactly. Only with a bit heavier focus on the collecting of items and killing monsters and bosses.

It was 10 bucks before.

Yes … and it’s also a sidescrolling platformer. It’s a bit more game-y than Minecraft, with bosses to fight and whatnot.

Do not ask questions , buy it!

Rock8, just get it, seriously. I should’ve waited, but I love it.

Other than that, nothing to get for me today.

Close to breaking down with regards to dead space 2, I’ve wanted to play a horror-esque shooter for a while now, only not for the EU price.

Would a US member be willing to gift me dead space 2 and the NWN 2 platinum pack? I would pre-pay (with paypal) of course.

Re: Terraria: Shrug. Ok, done. But the trailer on its steam page makes it look horrible. They should hire someone to make a better trailer. They make it look like an old-school hard-as-hell platformers from the 16-bit era that I used to hate, crossed with some footage that looks like the Super Smash Bros games, which I also hate.

You own the X3 series, and Dead Space 1 / 2?

Both have space / space ships in them!

I have to say, one of the highlights of the sale is the banner artwork each day. It must have been very fun for the artist to get a chance to work with these characters in a daily summer camp theme.

Try looking at some gameplay videos on youtube or something. I find terraria a very weird game. It sort of scratches the diablo collection vibe, but it’s not that fun. Still it managed to magically disappear some hours.

Yeah, Brian owns the X series. Not sure about Dead Space though.

Brian, Dead Space is one of the only games that I’ve played through 3 times. I didn’t like it at first, but it really grew on me. It lacks the charm and charisma of a System Shock, so it’s not the story that drew me in (at all), but the gameplay eventually won me over in a major way. It’s the only 3rd person shooter I’ve played that feels as immersive as a first person shooter.

I have not checked out Dead Space 2 yet, and have no time to do so. I’m sure it will be on sale again by the time I get more free time.
