The 8 bit looking one that you could co-op with four people? It was something with Dungeon in it.

We also looked at Chivalry because it's multi, but not sure we were sold on it.

There are a shitload of multi and co-op games out there that we've never discussed that could be fun, not to mention all the ones already mentioned that we haven't touched yet.

If there's interest, I'll pick up the 4 pack of the original Payday and hand out copies. Looks fun.

--------------------------------

As for cards, I need #5. I have multiples of #6, #8, and #10 if anyone wants to trade.

It was like Medieval Time Battle Fight City or something. Had 5 words in the name.

Contagion has a 4 pack as well for $11.

I have Contagion.

I have an extra #5. I don't have a #8. I don't know how to trade.

Catt bought me Contagion for X-Mas. Thanks Catt!

I would be up for playing it.

I'm racking my brain on the game Cake. Keep looking for it. Those things always come back into rotation.

I'll submit the trade Gordo.

Go into Inventory (under View) and then you'll find the "Trade Offers" button on the top right of that page. You'll see my trade offer there.

I tried out Awesomenauts today, and I think if we did co-op it, it'd be something to simply rush through and never play again. It has charm, but it is a 2D platformer. I don't see the multiplayer aspect of it being fun at all. If anyone loves 2D platformers, let me know. I still have 1-2 copies to give away.

I also still have two copies of Guns of Icarus to hand out.

Also tried out Payday, and that has awesome potential. It seems to be all co-op(?), and it's going to require a lot of teamwork and communication.

Where are we on an RTS? SC? SC2? AoEII? January 2nd is the end of the Steam sale, and on the 1st or 2nd, they recap all the stuff that was on sale, which means Planetary Annihilation will be on sale again...

Game Dev Tycoon was fun for a buck, or whatever I paid to play it on my phone (May have been 10 cents). GTA IV was fun. Still haven't gotten back to V.

Tropico 4 is fun if you like the Tropico series... just more of the same.

I'm ready for an RTS as well. I have:

TA
SC2
AoE2
Dawn of War 1 and 2
C&C:RA3
Company of Heros (with a bunch of expansions)

I have SC1, but it's in storage. Check every day on steam to see if it drops below $5, and it hasn't.

I want to start playing AoE2, TA or SC2. Mostly SC2. TA would be hella fun though too. I'm on board with AoE2 though too.

Honestly if i'm gonna play an RTS i don't wanna play some old ass outdated one. i would prefer that we play Planetary Annihilation regardless if its still in beta. That way we can learn the game together and i wouldn't be playing against gordo in AoE2 where he knows all the shortcuts and secrets of the game already. And this game just looks more interesting to me than all the other ones.

I liked Supreme Commander 2. They added a bunch of units on in updates too, like the Monkeylord.

Would multi.

What you fail to understand is. . . . those are the good ones.

I forgot to mention that I also have Space Craft 2.

As far as Gordon knowing the shortcuts, etc. There will always be someone that knows the game better than you do because there will always be someone that plays it more than you. But yes. That is why Gordon wants to play only AoE2 and SC1. Because he knows all the short cuts to those games and can beat us all. But I would be king of TA. I don't think anyone knows SC2 well enough to claim king. I think Troy and I are the only ones that have played Dawn of War games.

I would buy PA right now, but I doubt anyone else will. Which would put us ahead of them in that game when/if it ever gets played. So, there will always be someone more familiar with an RTS, and better, than everyone else because we all play different ones.

Not gonna pay to beta.

And fuck you for what you said my intentions were.

ok. i believe they are good games.. And so was the original Warcraft, i owned it and loved it, but its dated. And when i played what little i did play of AoE2 it felt really dated to me too.

As far as SC, im assuming you're talking about Supreme Commander and not Starcraft. I haven't played those games but i have read good things about them. But that game was released on Steam in 2010 so its already getting dated. I just know that alot of them older RTS games were all pretty much the same and didn't offer anything new besides what they looked like.

PA looks like they are adding alot of different features and a different type of game than the same old RTS's. i'd much rather be a part of a game that is growing and currently getting developed into something better (even if its not perfect as of yet) than play some game that no longer is getting updates and support. I guess thats what i really love about LOL so much, its always changing.

So i would be happy to drop some extra money for a newer more exciting game (in my eyes) than play some dated game that i will be bored with in a few weeks.

funny... it just went on sale for 33% off

Posted: **Tue Dec 31, 2013 1:15 pm**

I don't know any tricks or tactics that would assure I could beat everyone, so I'm not going to play it.

You are making a handful of incorrect assumptions about games you haven't played. . . .

With each generation of RTS, they got better at making them. Hard to explain. But each time you played one of the first RTS games (War Craft, Red Alert, etc) there was something about them you wish was different. And a later RTS came along that offered that. TA was the best in my opinion with it's build queue depth, unit selection, etc. Supreme Commander expanded on that allowing much bigger maps and potentially much larger armies. However, given that TA can now run on hardware WAY beyond what was out when it launched, it can handle some very large armies as well. Then came SupCom2. Here they tried to add a new element where you had to decide how to specialize or improve your units and how quickly that would happen. I would also mention that the creators of TA, SupCom and SupCom2 had a tendency to create games for hardware that didn't exist. The games NEVER ran well at launch because they had STEEP hardware requirements. So by the time hardware caught up, the game was already a year old. Read our old threads on these games to verify this. These games were always ahead of their time and aged well because of it.

To say these games are dated, having never played them, because the creators of all these 'old' games have a new game in beta would be writing off games way too soon. You would be wrong to think either of the SupCom games are dated.

But now, sharing my opinion of the games having actually PLAYED! them. . . .

I like SupCom2 over SupCom because it got you back into the battle. I think they went too big with SupCom. Sure, epic battles are awesome sounding and that's what people wanted. But once I had it, I didn't care for it much. I always played the game zoomed so far out that I was playing with X's and O's, not tanks and planes. If you zoomed in enough to see the units and the actual fighting, you'd miss something important someplace else. Yes, you could play with two monitors, one zoomed in, one out. But I also found no point in zooming in to see the action because I couldn't stay there long enough to really see anything. I had to manage units someplace else. So, I would zoom in occasionally to see what the game actually looked like, think "That's awesome!" and then zoom back out to keep fighting and not lose the game. With SupCom2, they reduced the size of the armies and maps, added tech upgrades and got you back into the game. You are with your army again, instead of hovering 15 miles overhead driving X's and O's.

That's not to say SupCom is bad. I would play it now if I had it installed. Just saying, I think SupCom2 is better, and why.
