Seen nothing I want that I don't already have (like at least the last 2 sales), so just gonna play more Witcher 3

 

[Darren S]

Just bought Black Mesa, I completed it before it came onto Steam when it was available for free, but they are continually updating it and it's well worth the £5.99 it's going for.

I'm on 182 games, all of which are installed.

Appropriate number for this forum.

Project Cars is down to £11.69 - well worth it if you haven't got it.

Is it playable with a controller?

I found AC a bit too tricky to enjoy with a gamepad.

Yeah, you can set it up so its fine with a controller. Should be suggestions on the internet somewhere. I've only ever used an Xbox controller for it on PC

Is the extra pack worth getting?

 

[Cookie]

Not sure! I was a very early backer with pcars so I've no idea isn't included with what

 

[Darren S]

Is the extra pack worth getting?

I'd say so - yes. I've bought all the DLC over time, so to have them all at once is worth it.

Personally, I think it's a right handful with the pad. But that's just using the stock configuration and not using the online setups that @Cookie suggests. To be honest, I need to give that a try as setting my G25 up is a bit of a ballache!

Tempted by Project Cars, but not sure its as playable as Forza, especially with a pad.

I'd say Project Cars is in the next tier up from Forza, m8. It's not a ultra hardcore sim, but certainly requires more thought and skill to progress smoothly than the likes of Forza. Hence, I agree with your concern that the pad might not be up to it.

It's a shame that demos through Steam seem so few and far between these days. It would be useful to give it a try first.

It doesn't have the shininess of Forza - which is no surprise given the size difference of the two studios. But I feel it's more rewarding when I do well on Project Cars, than with Forza.

They don't need a demo when you can buy it and play sub 2 hours and get a full refund.

I've only picked up Life is Strange so far.

I'm waiting for the new Hitman to reduce

Loving project cars at the moment.

You've got a pretty tasty setup for driving sims though haven't you!

 

[McGherkin]

That's true, but it's still epic to look at!

So far I've bought two expansions for Order of Battle. Quite clever how they give the core game away for free, the expect you to pay for the campaigns afterwards. These were £14.99 each, but in the sale have come in at half that.

I also bought MGS Phantom Pain purely on the basis of how good the reviews hold it in regard and also another eye-candy game for the 1080 when it finally arrives. Bit of a punt that as I really didn't get on with any of the MGS series back in the PS1 days.

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

MGS PP is a great game. Online is abysmal and full of cheaters/hackers to the point there's no point in playing.

Single player however is very very good.

Great! I've zero interest in going online with it - I just wanted a good single player experience.

 

[Gareth]

Yep, single player is awesome, I too didn't get on with the older games, this is much, much better. I've played it on Xbox One, if it was cheaper in the sale I'd buy it to replay on the PC.

 

[Lal B3N]

Got Assetto Corsa and Payday 2 so far.

 

[Darren S]

Decidedly average sale so far.

 

[SharkyUK]

Far Cry 4 worth a punt chaps / chapesses? I enjoyed Far Cry 3 (but not been at all tempted by Primal).

It's more of the same, I barely played 4

 

[SharkyUK]

I think I might go for it as I need a new game on PC now I'm all Witcher-ed out

 

[Darren S]

Took a punt on Grim Dawn. Supposed to be quite good from the reviews.

[SharkyUK]

Alan Wake is on offer again. It's an oldie but for £2.99 for the original game + DLC it's worth a punt. Deus Ex Mankind Divided for £10 as well.

 

[Cookie]

Finally bought the newer Doom. Shame its like a 60 gig install. Takes so looooooong.

Yep - it's massive. I think it's the largest game install I've had to date.

 

[HarvB]

One of the best games I've played in the last few years though - best played with good, bassy speakers turned up nice and loud. The gore nest frenzy is epic.

The excellent Mark of The Ninja is currently on at £2.19...

I went and looked and yep, I already own it. No recollection, at all.

Flol! I actually went through the majority of my library the other week and there were several games that I had zero knowledge of owning.

I think the majority come from the Humble Bundle offers - where you get 5 to 7 games when you actually only want 1 or 2.

PayDay 2 is currently on Steam for free....

Get it quick... only on offer until the 21st and/or the 5 million keys are gone

 

[HarvB]

Brilliant, thanks guys.

Yep - noticed the Summer Sale beckons. Hopefully I'll not spend too much!

Nex Machina... awesome little game Smash TV meets Robotron meets Geometry Wars (dual stick goodness).

Looks interesting! I picked up Titanfall 2 last weekend for the campaign (was like 16 quid). Completed it in a few evenings but one of the best SP campaigns I've ever played, despite the short length

Might have to give it a go in that case I was put off the original Titanfall due to its multiplayer bias.
