Two things make JC2 the best sandbox (Keyword!) game ever:
The grapple hook + Unlimited parachutes.

I tried the demo... As far as music games goes, one of the weaker ones. The issue I have is that the game can't really read beats properly (Which makes getting high scores really REALLY hard).

It is a fun game though... if only they fix the music reading engine or watchamacallit.

Those aren't sales leh... They're the current user count.

When HL2 rolled in, Steam was actually pretty damned decent already. During the CS 1.6 launch was when it was really really shit.

I know that if I leave Steam idle for awhile and then I try to play a game, it will be the same as trying to start up Steam for the first time.

So usually, if I notice a game takes awhile to startup because I left Steam idling for too long, I just restart Steam and it loads up just fine.

That being said, I don't have the usual Steam connection snafus that you guys have, so for the most part, I don't have to go through the same crap that you guys do, so that's why I'm fine with it.

Oooooooo

I spent an insane amount of time on the first one (Finished the game with a warrior and a wizard).

10% is like 50 cents only leh...

I'm scared though as it'll probably eat me alive... That Veni Vedi Vinci level still scares me to this day.

No, I think he meant ppl can treat Steam Wallet as a way to "invest" in Steam (Which really isn't investing since its like you're providing temporary "free" capital them)

Anyway, I'm not exactly sure what would be the benefit of this system other than allowing Steam users the ability to kinda monitor their purchases. Its not a money gouging scheme though since its using real currency instead of MS/Bioware magic points which is a good thing.

Still, inb4 where is mai episode 3?!?!?

Actually, what you just described is pretty much the equivalent of taking advantage of a "sale"

IINM, from Faces of War onwards (Or maybe in the Men of War demo?), your soldiers would kinda automatically pick up fallen weapons and ammo, so you didn't need that much micro.

I played the original Soldiers, which had none of this handholding... Plus, they were mean to you from the beginning. The german campaign involved you controlling a squad of TIGER tanks... and in the 2nd mission, as you're about to take a town, the one and only Tiger your given breaks down in the middle of a fight... Leaving you with just a refurbished allied tank and 5 men...

SERIOUSLY, it was like
"Oh yeah we gots a Tiger! We's gonna pwns some nubs!"

and then

"WTF, it caught fire!"

leaving you with

"Crap, now we gotsa pwns some nubz with their nubish tanks... I hate this army"

That reminds me, I actually got this game from GG awhile back, but totally forgot about it.

One of my most memorable missions from Soldiers was the UK one where you had to infiltrate an enemy coastal base and destroy some guns (Basically, the same as the Guns of Navarro but without any women)...

And also another British one where you had to infiltrate a german occupied city, lug around MG42s to mow down hundreds, save a French spy and try to run in a derelict truck...

And that other Russian one where you had to defend a spot from an oncoming onslaught of German panzers and whatnot with just a bunch of tank destroyers...

Or placing a sniper on a water tower to kill of enemy soldiers from running up to tanks and throwing AT grenades at them... All the while hoping no enemy tank can see him...
