Even the SP is demanding and good fun. Worth every penny. Very good game.
Well each to his own; my experience in arma 2 and arma 3 (beta) singleplayer is that its the most face grinding boring experience. I mostly interested in arma for tactical battlefield mod which was basically a PR clone, but I check up and get feeling not enough players.

As someone who can't seem to enjoy any games apart from cRPG and super deep strategic shit I gotta recommend the Witcher 2. Barely expected any triple A title to entertain me anymore, but I had a blast with that one.

I enjoyed witcher 2 enough, but as a crpg and strat player didn't you fucken hate the combat? its even more lame than skyrim, you don't aim or use any tactics; you just spam click target and watch their health bar deplete. witcher 3 looks like its going to be the same combat also  :(

X-COM: Enemy Unknown - Really fun, I like the way they simplified it. I've restarted a few times to better design/optimize my base and squad but don't mind.

The whole reason why I hated that game is because they 'simplified' it, it's like they ripped out the soul of the game and just painted the shell. Personally I thought the original games were all pretty simple and their actions were more "dumbing it down" than simplifying. Xenonauts is a far better re-make even with its bugs and shitty graphics. Well, that's all my opinion anyway just like you have yours.

Well, looks like I won't be buying a single game on the sale again, there should be an achievement for that

I never played spore.. is it worth it at 10 bucks?

It seems pretty cool but I don't want to buy another game that gets "dusty" in the library.

Got Spore when it first came out, its a solid game imo. Bought it for steam recently on sale because my old disk is dead. Basically its just great fun and like has been said the Space stage is great, stetting up trade networks, or paving out Empires through force. I personally like the Creature stage, its fun looking for all the different customisable parts to then create some crazy ass looking creatures :D

Hopefully the Banner Saga will drop in price more than 33% that seems a game worth spending money on. Also just got that Betrayer early access game at 80% off. Its very interesting definitely worth a look on youtube :)

Got betrayer on wishlist atm. Didn't know it went up for 80%. Darn. For now I'll wait and see if it drops. If not then maybe I'll grab it at 50% before the sale ends.

Same here.
Well, I bought some cheap DLC for Grid2 after I realized there is a cockpit view mod which makes playing it again more than worthwhile... :P
...wasn't even enough for a trading card tho.

Try Full Combat Rebalance mod. It changes a lot of things, including how you block - you now just lock on an enemy, and as you walk around you block without having to press anything, and also you can't spam anymore, since they start blocking after 1 or 2 hits. For me it makes the combat much more enjoyable.

Combat isn't great but I thought it was easily servicable enough, some enemies require slightly different tactics and you got the different spells to break the tedium. I found that I had to be rolling all the time and learning attack patterns of enemies, which is a quite a stretch beyond the depth of Skyrim. It's been a while but I can't remember it being worse than most other games.

You guys are going to be seriously disappointed if the only games you guys can have fun on is cRPG's combat.

bought 7 days to die , dedicated server and i'm enjoying it with some other friends. of course that is not crpg , there's no fin that teamkills you at the end of the round , there's no GTX that talking to himself in the rageball server , there's no ranged spam but it's fun.

I dunno if you played witcher 2 on hard difficulty but there spamming left click gets punished if theres more than 1 enemy. The combat isnt amazing but im enjoying it more than most games, except when i fight bosses which can be complete bullshit.

 :lol:

This is how I played The Witcher 2:

Igni, Igni, Igni, Igni, Igni, Igni, Igni, Igni....

Nobody survived that.

I've had more mileage out of the GOG sale than the Steam one.
And how!
