Who Bought the THQ Pack?

[Inspector Jones]

$50 for 15 games?
Everyone should buy this.

There is something in there you will like. (http://store.steampowered.com/sub/2539/)

I would of posted this earlier, but I've been busy. Not too much time to hop in.

[SlainPwner666]

Oh god, don't remind him...

[Easton Dark]

I did.

Oh yes, Mark told me Deadly.

1. Red Faction Guerrilla is FRACKIN AWSUM

2. Saints Row 2 is the port of all ports, its basically the xbox version with keyboard support. The code is so bad, I can barely run it on low, when I can run even Crysis on high.

3. Stalker, its not what I thought it would be. To slow paced for my tastes.

4. Soulstorm makes me rage, but I love it all the same as the other games. It's confusing, to rage or love.

5. Full Spectrum Warrior runs sluggish ONLY IF you're connected to the internet? WTF?

6. Gonna try frontlines next.

[Inspector Jones]

Oh god, don't remind him...

Don't remind who?

If you're talking about me, then I am clueless. I'm assuming a thread was already made in my absence, but the search revealed nothing.

If someone else, please inform me of the inside knowledge.

[Easton Dark]

Don't remind who?

Infact I'll likely be banned just for tal-

[Deadly]

Mwhahaaha! MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Paradox Viper]

[Zombie Hunter]

THQ make 2 of the best RTS series i have ever played
DoW and CoH

[Mooman77]

4. Soulstorm makes me rage, but I love it all the same as the other games. It's confusing, to rage or love.

Holy crap you are right abgout that, maybe Im just a noob but all of relics RTS games have freaken impossible AI to beat other than on easy. D:

Anyways i woulda got it but i had half the games, so it wasnt worth it. However I am sad to admit i got the battefield 2 pack xP

[Easton Dark]

DoW and CoH

After yesterdays game of soulstorm, DoW takes the prize for me.


It's me as chaos vs Dark Eldar in the campaign.

My chaos lord is running through their light infantry, spewing fire from his hands incinerating them, until he engages their archon in h2h combat.

Then the enemy swarms him.

Then I send in the hell talons and drop their poison shit all over their army.

Then I bombard the enemy with artillary to give my chaos lord room to run away.

Then my marines move in to mop up with heavy bolters.

Insta-win

I'm not a big fan of Fast-Paced RTS'
I prefer the longer games where you start out with very little and slowly build a massive unstoppable force. (Total War Series FTW)

get CoH
it starts of pretty slow 10mins of peace then engineer duels with flamers, then riflemen duels with 1% accuracy and finally tank combat
it can take ages to get anywere in that game, but fun all the way to the end

[SRXSniper58]

I've got a Maid Marian to distract em all while i shoot them all in the back!

[Grieverlionhart]

£25 for 25 games my friend got it 58gigs jeeeeeeeesus!

[Inspector Jones]

Am I the only one to get it?

I did too.
Installing Red Faction: Guerrilla first. I plan to play lots of COH and DOW when my buddy gets back for winter break.

[Easton Dark]

Soulstorm is haaaaaaaaaaaaaard.

Well, not hard, but it takes me much longer to win battles.

Fucking Dark Eldar got it first, they annoy the hell out of me.

[Inspector Jones]

The entire campaign of Saint's Row II can be played cooperatively. This intrigues me.

Hey if you want to I'm usually playing SR2 more than the others.

[wertan11]

hey, i heard of a pack that has all valve games for like $100 any one heard of it? and if you have, link?

[Easton Dark]

Search for Valve complete pack

[HolyEvilz]

i believe you're refering to this (http://store.steampowered.com/sub/2546/)

You'll kill my surprisingly weak army, only to realise I have had an even bigger force hiding in the forests the whole time!

MWAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

I have that game, and I'm pretty terrible at it. Once the battles start and I have to make sure my soldiers are winning, as well as upgrading my base to start putting out tanks, while I build defenses and make sure my engineers aren't walking into a shit storm, while building up troops for an assault... it's just too much at once. I can't zoom my camera around and constantly open and close the tactical map fast enough.

I've never played Online though, because I can barely beat the bots on medium. I do enjoy the physics and how tanks can run shit over. I also enjoy planting explosives on a bridge and waiting for enemies to walk over it.

[Zombie Hunter]

the tactical map isnt that helpful, i just use the minimap
try american and go air force, paras ftw

[Easton Dark]

THQ needs to get its non RTS games optimized for PC.

Seriously. Saints Row 2 and Frontlines are horrible (both optimization wise, frontlines gameplay wise). Gotta play them on low to get a stable framerate.

There is an unofficial Saint's Row 2 patch that I swear seems to help a little.
It didn't do miracles, but it did help. Thankfully I knew from the start that Saint's Row 2 was a shit port, but it is playable (Barely).

Thank god Volition did not fuck up Red Faction as bad. I expect stutter when I fucking blow up a water tower which proceeds to snap in half and fall onto a bridge, causing that to fall apart.

[Easton Dark]

Speaking blowing stuff up. I blew up two sides of a bridge, the middle section was just floating mid-air.


Martian physics baby!

[SlainPwner666]

There was probably an umbrella you missed, Easton.

[Inspector Jones]

Yeah it kind of breaks the immersion a little bit when a single pillar is able to hold an entire structure above it.

[Easton Dark]

Nah, this was just mid-air. I checked. No support at all.

I jumped on it later and it fell. Nearly killed me.

[SlainPwner666]

So, any 411ers interested in getting a COH game going?

[Nuttz]

I'll join you if my computer gets fixed soon, I'll probably need a break from L4D2 anyway. Original or OF?

[Easton Dark]

Call me when you get a dawn of war game going. I dont like CoH tbh.

[SlainPwner666]

I'll join you if my computer gets fixed soon, I'll probably need a break from L4D2 anyway. Original or OF?

The newest one, Tales of Valor, is compatible with both. So whichever one you prefer.

[Nuttz]

Valor doesn't have any new factions IIRC, so I'm guessing OF.

[Mooman77]

One thing that really pisses me off is that i have CoH retail and OF on steam and i cant play under one account D:

So if i want to play one or the other i have to switch.

Nuff' said.

And yes, the ninja on the right is reading a paper.

[one of them]

wtf bad graphics omg

[Easton Dark]

Your telling me!

Bad port is bad.

But fun.

[Kenny]

A little late, but I do have all of the CoH games.

[SlainPwner666]

Valor doesn't have any new factions IIRC, so I'm guessing OF.

I'm saying, Tales of Valor has all 4 factions, so whichever you want to play, you CAN play. I can make a TOV lobby and you can join it in either the original or OF. So whichever one you prefer is fine with me. But then we have the issue of America/Aussie ping.

Ping doesn't really matter too much with RTS's, unless you're playing competitively.

[Elite]

It does when you assign units to attack an enemy as it moves around :(

[Easton Dark]

I guess nuttz could just spam artillary units. Lets see lag beat that.

I love Saints Row & Saints Row II. I personally prefer the Security outfits over the Ninja outfits though.

[Easton Dark]

They got boring once I realized I can give my homies my weapons, and I have infinite katanas

:3

Ninja's fighting with the police

*sniff* so beautiful.

[Nuttz]

Nah, spamming snipers and placing them so that the enemy can't move more than a metre without getting their head blown off is more my style.

[SlainPwner666]

Well then, hit me up next time you're free on steam. W3'11 R3@P $0M3 B0TZ

[Easton Dark]

Aw man.

I want to show off the new clothes I got in sr2 :(

Blue silk suit, blue Fedora, melee weapon is a butterfly knife....... oh yes.

Someone! Anyone! Co-op with me!

[Easton Dark]

Guys, the steam deal is back on, 50% off the thq complete pack.

GET IT NAO!

[Nuttz]

Most of the games on there I've already got.

[Stuffinator]

bought it, saints row 2 sucks!

[Tyr]

I liked Saints Row 2 - did two playthroughs which is rare for me. First character was an ultra-staunch brit who looked like a mix of Chris Cheney and Jeff Goldblum, second was a hot chick which was hilarious because her character seriously didn't fit her look. I think I have a comparison pic of them somewhere, hang on...

Here:
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f266/Tyferra/SR2comparison.png

Anyway, I'm not a big RTS fan but I did enjoy what I played of Company of Heroes. Still, I've played what THQ games I'm actually interested in so I'll keep my $50, (or whatever.)

[Stuffinator]

Well I don't like the controls, they are horrible if you ask me, I don't like this gangster stuff, Nico Bellic had style in GTA4, but in saints row the character you play is like someone I don't want to play. Overall it looks like a big gta-clone. But I like the customizing-options, thats pretty neat!

However DoW2 is fun and titan quest is fun (which I already had). I couldn't test the other games yet.

[Easton Dark]

Nico Bellic had style in GTA4

step 1: Shoot stuff.

step 2: Car Chase

step 3: Shooting stuff in a car chase

step 4: Repeat


And somewhere in there beat down a hooker after she gives you a blowjob.

You got me wrong! I mean Nico Bellic had style in relation to his characteristics (storybased), not the gameplay of GTA4, which I agree is very repetitive.

Oh right. I guess his is better than "I'm the greatest motherfucker ever, I survived an explosion"

[Stuffinator]

Well it's just my opinion, I'm sorry that it's not yours!
