What is FTL?

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

FTL for $5. Yay or nay?

Big Yay, though I bought mine off the official site and got a Steam key for it as well.

Check out the quick look on Giant Bomb:

It's basically Star Trek the game with randomized events.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Ah, gotcha. I've never played a Lego game, but am really intrigued by Lord of the Rings Lego. Good $20 buy? Is it a 3rd person action-esque game?

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Add $5 and get those two games plus Spec Ops: The Line

Just got this triple pack...
9.99 -5.00 and total was 4.99

Can't go wrong there

That's what I wound up doing as well. Only got to play a couple quick games, but I definitely think that game will keep me busy during downtime. First game I played (on easy mind you) all hell broke loose not long after I started. Got in a fight, ship gets hurt, get boarded, fire starts, and needless to say I died pretty quickly.

What do I do with the Steam key though since I don't need Steam for it?

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Well, you could sell/trade it, but that wouldn't be a very nice thing to do to the devs. Personally I'd activate it through steam so it automatically downloads updates and whatnot.

Edit: After watching a couple vids, definitely buying this before the end of the sale.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Anyone have any % codes off for the Lego games? I really want to try the LOTR Lego game, but not sure I want to spend the $20 on it. Do they have demo's for them? Worth the buy?

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

This sold me on FTL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-SnIhpCm5w

Plus, I have some online buddies that highly recommend the game. I haven't played it, but its downloading right now.

I'm watching that vid now, thanks!

Just purchased it too, may not play for a bit, but 5 bucks is cheap and seems pretty fun.

Just bought Spec Ops as part of the 3 pack deal which includes Bioshock and Bioshock 2. I already have the Bioshock games so if anyone wants one or both let me know.

FTL is addicting as hell. That is all.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

I've still never beat FTL. Still play it to this day, but the damn Rebel flagship is nearly impossible for me, even on easy.

I have a bad string going where I play X-Com, get frustrated losing some of my vets in a mission, quit, play FTL, die 5 times in FTL, quit, go back to X-Com, etc.

Also finally picked up Spec Ops so I'll give that a go at some point.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

and...just got the Stronghold collection plus Stronghold 3..
Love castle building and haven't played SH series in a long time. SH3 has been patched to death to fix many issues but mainly want for the free build mode.

This is why I'm waiting until I finish Bastion and Batman AA before even playing FTL. I couldn't pass it up for $5 though.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Just spent my afternoon playing through Hotline Miami.

Spectacular game!
