i got a coupon for Dues Ex: HR, 25% off. So the final price will be $7.64 is it worth it?

Yea, its worth buying.

Human Revolution is probably one of the best shooter with RPG element game i ever played. The story is very good, i would say.

No, i wont, but i do want that game from the beginning. I am bloody hell broke now, by the way, so probably not buying it.

Just not sure how fun will Stacking be. Or maybe get Psychonaunts.

Burnout Paradise still got people play 1?

Nope, its dead since its released.

However, i'll still recommend this game. It's good fun, eventhough you play only single player.

If im not wrong, you can hack the game to give you the DLCs for free. There are a couple of DLC available for Burnout Paradise.

Still since when indie bundles are good? Most of them comes with games i never heard before or games i dont want. The good indie games, I'll probably have it.

Indie royale is probably the worst aming all.

Apparently the new Sins of a Solar Empire expansion will require Steam, but cant find the preorder for it there. Preorder is already on developer website, dunno what the problem is.

....those star bases are still fugly. Deng.

I think there is a Stardock survey where you can get 5% off the base price.

I got another 20% off cause i own Trinity too. There wont be any pre-order bonus other than 20% off for Diplomacy owners. Rebellion is Steamworks by the way, regardless where did you buy your game from.

Most of their units are fugly but one thing that makes Sins unique is the large scale gameplay and depth. Also, it's a low budget game to begin with as the original game only cost 1 million USD to develop, compared to 40 million for most AAA games out there. So, dont expect the game to look as good as AAA game. However, I dont think you can find another game like this which is a blend of real time strategy and civilization style tech trees. The Beta so far is pretty good, as devs are pretty quick in fixing bugs. The new features does differentiate each subfactions quite a bit like one subfaction focus on defence while the other focus on offense. Mostly on the late game stuff, though.

There are a couple of new units, like titans and corvettes. Titans are pretty fun as they are similar to a mobile Death Star from Star Wars. Extremely powerful to the point you can destroy whole fleet if played right, but its also very expensive to build. The other new unit, Corvette, is quite sucky though due to low HP, but the devs said they will rebalance it or maybe redesign it.

Then, there is a rumor that one faction can uproot all their planets and form a mobile flotilla where you can destroy one planet to the other entirely to harvest all the resources. That faction is still not in the beta yet.

They also overhauled the shadow system in the game, and it does make the game look whole lot better. Some of the ugly low res textures were upgraded too.

Great game for single player, but i dont think the new features will make the game more multiplayer friendly as each game takes hours to play.The AI still needs more work, as they are very predictable.

thanks for the response,so its more a squad based rts is it?no building,where do you get reinforcement?
*
There arent much unit controls outside the 4 squads you choose in the first 2 games, DoW2 and Chaos Rising.

However, in Retribution, you can get reinforcements to build your small army if you can control a HQ.

You can reinforce near the beacon, or near HQs in Retribution.

IMO, i think vanilla DoW2 and CR campaign isnt that good for me as it tends to throw you boss fights that are difficult to kill and time consuming to kill it. Still, Chaos Rising tone it down a lot so its more enjoyable. Retribution on the other hand is much better for me as it has a little bit of unit management and has barely any difficult to kill boss fight. Retribution also feature all 6 races in campaign while the first 2 games only feature Space Marine. There is a major weakness in the Retribution campaign where the campaign maps are the same across 6 races with different story.

Storywise, i think each games are good, but again, i think im biased to Retribution, though, Retribution manage to exhibit the uniqueness of each race very well in the campaign. For example, Chaos is pretty much about MORE BLOOD, MORE SKULLS and KILL MORE TO PLEASE THE GODS. Space Marine, is more like saving their recruits world from a demon. I know Eldar's story is very dark as they are a dying race, struggling to survive. Orks on the other hand, i heard their campaign is like a comedy as a lot of people say its funny.

It's up to you, i would say as each game is good.

If you want MP, Retribution is the best as it uses Steamworks and have the most players.

It shouldnt happen. Did you change your country in the details form? You have to change it to the country that you are currently in, ie: Malaysia for you.

I am doing the same thing where i load up my wallet in malaysia then use ?cc=my to buy steam games in australia with malaysian price, using australian debit card.

Unless the bank restrict the card to be only usable in aus, you should be able to use the card anywhere in the world.

I have used my aussie card in Malaysia and New Zealand numerous times without any problems.

What?

I bought both Shogun 2 and Just Cause 2 for $18. Is that any wrong with that? Thats not even full retail price to begin with, it is bargain bin price.

No way i'll download 25GB of data for Shogun 2. I rather pay a bit more for a retail copy.
