Anyone play Sovereignty Crown of Kings? It's EA but I've read it has the full feature set and very little bugs. Looks pretty interesting..

So how does one trade games via Steam?

Anyone looking to trade? I'm hoping to get that Cities Skylines game.

I have FM 11 and 15, Crusader Kings II, Civilization 5 and a bunch of sport sims. I play all of them minus FM it seems...

Guild of Dungeoneering is amazing.. just saying..

Is the idea to try and 'beat' the hero?

No, you are laying down rooms and monsters so your hero gains gear to accomplish the mission.. all the while collecting gold/gems to gain gold to expand your guild "more card options/starting character etc"

your character starts with 0 gear and level 1 at the beginning every time.. its a VERY fun game..

You can only trade games that are in your inventory or in other places like humble bundle etc. If the game is in your library, you are SOL.

[rjolley]

If I take advantage of the sale on OOTP 16 and buy it from OOTP Developments, do I get a Steam key or can I register my install with Steam?

SOL is a little strong. It would give people the ability to buy one game and play what they want. Not really a good business model for the game makers.

yes and yes you can register it under "games" and "activate a product on steam"

I don't understand. SOL is a little strong? I didn't make the rules. I'm just saying once you place it in your game library, you cannot trade it. The best thing to do is buy everygame as a "gift" and place it in your inventory. Only put it in your library when you know you are going to play it.

Not sure how you think this is bad for the game makers? If we all bought deepest dungeon (especially one that hasn't really gone on sale yet) or the hottest game out there and all passed it around when we were "done", then we all wouldn't buy it and the game makers wouldn't make any money. Maybe I'm misunderstanding your point, though.

Oh man. This is just a great game.

My fear is that it's going to end up being repetitive towards the end?

Thanks. Looks like I didn't get a Steam key with my serial number last night. Not the end of the world, and a great deal at $20 for OOTP16, but being able to fully use Steam would be nice.

[Ramzavail]

I think you could email them and they will give it to you. look around on the ootp boards.

They are activately making dlc for it.. i'll gladly pay a few extra bucks every couple of months to add content..

and with all the classes and loot.. it'll take quite a long time to reach repetitive stage i imagine..

plus the game doesn't take itself seriously.. which i love

[MizzouRah]

Sorcerer King was released today.. I've been on the EA and it's one of my favorite 4x games I've played. Kind if a new twist where the SK has already conquered everyone and you have to build up to defeat him before he destroys all the shards and the world.

I sent them an email this morning. Waiting on a response. We'll see what happens.

Thanks for the info.

Axis Football 2015... Anyone know anything about this?

Every game is the same... some early success with the blitz but always ends up in complete disaster by the fourth quarter. Do NOT play in the snow. And if some little Japanese guy tells you he's got the perfect sneak play, probably time to quit and pick another game.

Pretty funny review.

[FrogMan]

Guild of Dungeoneering was my little gift from me to me as my three weeks of vacation started yesterday and I've already played some 2.5 hours with it. Really nice and relaxing little game.

[MizzouRah]

I didn't even know Pandora First Contact got a huge AI patch last month.

Looks like I'll be up late this week.

[Vince, Pt. II]

Hero Siege is fantastic, and a great value at $6. It's a rogue-like action RPG - think Smash TV meets Diablo. I haven't tried playing it with a mouse and keyboard, but with a controller it is phenomenal. You essentially enter a portal, and waves of enemies spawn. After you defeat all the enemies of a particular wave, you have 20 or so seconds before the next wave spawns. What's a nice twist is that you can force the next wave to spawn whenever you want (even while the prior wave(s) are still active) by pressing a button - so when you die and have to 'start over,' you can smash that button and get all the waves down immediately so you can quickly get back to where you were when you died.

There are I think 12 different classes, you get gear drops and relics, and when you level up you can invest in your skill tree and your attributes. It's super fast, super simple and just plain fun.

[Groundhog]

Guild of Dungeoneering is pretty fun, but I got real concerns for longevity. I think I'd prefer the heroes to skill up with progressively harder dungeons... I realize it's not really the point of the game, but I think that would keep me playing it.

Picked up Rocket League last weekend and absolutely love it.

This is what good players in the game can do.





And here's what most of my attempts to score end up looking like.

[Vince, Pt. II]

My roommate has also been loving Rocket League.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

Rocket League is free on PS+ this month in case anyone hasn't picked it up. Great game.

[BrianD]

Rocket League is fantastic. I am having a blast even in games I lose.

[Qrusher14242]

Me too. Love that it has couch coop and bots. Just a fun game. I'm just no good at it lol.

[Qrusher14242]

Also, the Humble Bundle this week has OOTP15 in it. It comes with a steam key. It's in Pay What You Want part of the bundle so you can get it for $1

Humble Weekly Bundle: Simulators 4 (pay what you want and help charity)

Some other games in the bundle, but OOTP was the only one that interested me

[lighthousekeeper]

thanks - purchased

[SirFozzie]

I have two 75% off coupons for Dawn of War I and II for trade, and in other news, I spend my time watching Rocket League, wishing I had money. (pretty much literally.. my financial situation right now is pretty horrid)

Thanks for posting this, but I do have a dumb question as I have never done the humble bundle thing. I purchased, but how do I get the steam key? I got the download link from humble bundle but didn't want to mess anything up by doing something without asking first.

[Ramzavail]

Go into your humble bundle account and look for the "Keys" tab (3rd tab) and you should see the games you purchased and a button that says "click to redeem on steam"

Do you have anything else for trade ? any games ?

Thank you Ramz!

[Coffee Warlord]

I dunno if any of you play train simulator, but I'm sharing this 'cause one of my best friends did the work on this.

I have a Talisman game to trade. That's it

[Ramzavail]

sorry i have that already.

So City Skylines...does it also get 'overwhelmingly positive' reviews here too? Will it run well on a GeForce GT740 video card?

[frnk55]

Not sure if it will run on that card but give it a try cause Steam has a return policy. I absolutely love the game. It's everything SC should of been.

[MizzouRah]

EA Alert! Anyone play this.. looks like FTL + Sims

There was a Skylines thread that was very positive when it came out.

[Bobble]

Anyone with thoughts on Wreckfest? I really enjoyed Flatout 2 a couple of years ago. Same deal? Is it mostly open field derby or tracks like Flatout was?
