  Spent 11 bucks on Payday 2 dlc's - probs will never use or unlock them!

    For someone who may have got Payday 2 in the recent Humble Bundle and not played the game at all, is any of the DLC not worth getting at 75% off?

      I've played a lot of payday 2 and I find that most of the gun dlcs are bad value.

      Also if you have friends that you reliably play with that have the map dlcs you don't need those either. (Only need the map dlc to host, you can join any map)

        So, no real need for guns, gonna need the maps. Got it :)
        Thanks Larz.

        @Thrift: courier is worth it the packs you collect actually end up being useful.

      just my quick 2c (have payday 2 and majority of the DLCs)
      yes there are some DLCs not worth it
      answer would primarily be: it depends on your play style and how you like to play the game /approach the heists etc.

      I had fun with gage pack 1 (for grenades) and sniper pack
      some of the other weapon packs are just redundant (have a look at the reviews on steam for them, one of them was just 1 single pistol etc.)

      character packs are fun and would be a good investment

      heist packs are not strictly necessary - other people who have purchased the heist can host that DLC heist in a public game and anyone can join (regardless of whether or not you have the DLC itself) which means if you play coop/with randoms you can experience the DLC heists for free

      the game has grown a lot since I last played, back in the day there were clearly op rifles and specific builds, but with so many new weapon varieties it's hard to say what is useful and what is not

      but the sale on payday 2 is pretty regular, don't waste too much of your dosh now cause you're still new to the game and trying it out

      i'd suggest, pick a few guns that suit your regular fps play-style (snipe, minigunner, shotguns, pistols etc.) and see how you like the game before sinking so much money into stuff you might not use :P

      if you do like it, pretty sure payday would be on sale in the dec xmas sales haha

      Dlc's are used to add new interest to the game for me. Buying them at this point is like a no brainier since I've invested so much time into it.

      Playing close to 600 hours on steam, in my experience the shotgun, sniper, armored transport, gage mods 1 and gage mod courier job are the bare essential dlcs you should get (imo ofc). Shotgun mods are mostly for the HE rounds to take down shields or stun dozers, sniper pack are handy for taking out shields or skull dozers on death wish difficulty, gage mods 1 provides you with grenades (very handy in a tight spot or cover to escape) and gage courier mod job gives extra mods to turns your guns from normal to lethal (car 4 etc.). Finally the armoured transport dlc gives you the commando rifle that you can use from level 0 (it's a weapon that has handy stats with the correct mods giving you the edge when you go up infamy levels - also an awesome rifle to have at any level tbh).

      The other dlcs especially maps are not needed as you can easily join a hosted game for that particular mission you want. Bottom line is I would recommend certain dlc's but not the majority of them. Get dlc's for the weapons not the mission or playable characters and your gaming experience will be much better :)

      Hope you will enjoy this game as much as I do!

    Great game, keyboard controls are a bit wonky. Playable but better with gamepad.

      Definitely controller preferred. Good thing it has game pad support built in. Was going to pick this up for my vita but might get this one instead.

  • 

    iridiumstem on 17/06/2015 - 22:53

    Spelunky started on PC (there was a free version, then the developer made a HD reboot). Such a good game, there are mods for the free version as well that allow you to play as the man-eating plant.

      Scaregdearimasu on 18/06/2015 - 14:46

      That's really neat thanks!

  Obviously personal opinion, but Driver SF wasn't bad for an arcade driving game. The story got a bit stupid, but just cruising around jumping into conversations had some funny moments.

  •

    Probably the most unique driving game imo. Also no more on foot sections where you have to shoot somebody up like in previous games.

  Huzzah! Finally a discounted game worth buying (Baldurs gate 2).

  • 

    FrankMcFuzz on 17/06/2015 - 10:35

    But… What of us nostalgia-robbed-plebians who haven't played the first one!? Either enhanced, or original!? :O

    • 

      CyberGenesys on 17/06/2015 - 12:38

      We wait for either steam to step up to the plate or nuuvem to (was <4$ once)

    • 

      CyberGenesys on 19/06/2015 - 17:38

      Baldur's Gate 1 is $6.79 (66% off) :D

  Total War: Rome II is 75% off & $19.98

  Is Attila the better game of the two?

  • 

    matthewdev on 17/06/2015 - 13:49

    +1

    All a matter of perspective. I played more of Rome II despite being pretty buggy for ages (they have fixed most of the issues now), but Attila feels more refined. Personally I prefer the time period of Rome II over Attila (just personal preference), which would be why I played Rome II more.

    • 

      Consumer Sheep on 18/06/2015 - 09:01

      Alright, well I went with Rome II and if I don't like it I'm blaming you :-)

  Hmm… guess I'll bite on terraria and NFS undercover…

  The Terraria 4pk seems to be a cheaper option, anyone want to split it?

  Single pack is $2.45 whilst 4pk is $7.45… Will be picking up the 4pk… anyone interested in splitting PM me.

    CyberGenesys on 17/06/2015 - 09:36

    I still have 3 copies left from a 4 pack from the last steam sales. YOU should Pm me :P

  Contagion looks like a good zombie shooter, similar to l4d
  Rise of nation is a real time strategy game that looks fun for massive battles. Similar to empire earth
  Antichamber I'm going to pickup, just because it looks interesting. Not really a game, but a walkthrough visual puzzle. Probably good for an hour

  • 

    the frost on 17/06/2015 - 15:08

    Yeah I got Antichamber just now before the deal ran out, sneaking my laptop onto the website via tethering. Looking forward to it.

    Orion: Prelude (previously known as Dino Horde, Dino Beatdown, some other name I can't remember…)

    It's pretty much an FPS with Dinosaurs and Halo mashed together. Definitely worth the $1.00 or whatever price it was a few days ago.

  Lovely flash sales today and one mini game sale looks yummy. Mafia 2, System Shock 2, Spelunky and Alan Wake. Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a must too.

  Would highly recommend to anyone who is hankering for an extremely well crafted sci-fi game, to pick up The Fall (Part 1). You won't be disappointed.

      It's a little Abe's Oddysee, but thankfully without the merciless platforming :) Draws heavily from Asimov of course, but its solidly written with the right amount of dark humour.

      Hope you enjoy, part 2 is in production according to the developer.

        I can't say I've been a huge fan of it, I'm picky with FPS games. The gun control is a bit gimmicky; limited recoil; guns don't 'feel' satisfying. It's great with friends though!
