I think i'll pick up Tank Warfare Tunisia 1943 Complete Edition. 80% off is a pretty darn good deal.

Steam Link on sale for $2.50. If you have a good 5GHz router, or a wired house, it’s a great little device for remote gaming, or just desktop access.

I just want to commend Steam for their customer service. I purchased a game that was tagged with Single Player, but wasn't as it turned out, and after 21 days they still refunded my money. Hats off to Steam. Their refund policy is up to 14 days. I looked for mods to see if I could make the game SP but couldn't. Yeah, yeah, yeah...we all know Steam is going to get that money back in a couple of days if not hours. Looking at Subnautica now.


The road less traveled is filled with fewer needy people.

NO NO> NNONONONONONONONO ! i resisted for two years.....stop tempting me !!! but i do enjoy the minigame,

also how much did you spent on steam ? new tool, just log in https://help.steampowered.com/en/accountdata/AccountSpend

TotalSpend 1,392.49 is that much ? most of my steam games were on promotion,so less then half the price, that is for currently 273 games, some 14 of them must been free.

Guess it's finally time to try X-Plane 11. I'm surprised not to hear much about it on these forums.

Lots of good deals in this summer sale.

So far I've picked up XCOM 2 for $20 and Ultimate General Gettysburg for $1.50. Also bought Endless Space 2 for $20, but refunded it. It's not that it's a bad game, but something about it didn't click right away with me. In virtually every game I've really liked, at some point in the first hour I sit back and say 'that is so cool', or maybe just 'wow', ya know.? Didn't have that in Endless Space 2, even though these sorts of games tend to fall in my wheelhouse. I may decide to give it a proper go later, but decided to refund for now. It's actually only the second game I've ever refunded on Steam in 14 years. The other one Panzer Corps. I recall liking Panzer General 2 back in the day, but I played the opening mission in Panzer Corps and was like no way. Not for me, any longer I guess.

That's cool, thanks for the link. I am at 2,039.14. That works out to about $150 per year. Not so bad. I very rarely buy games on release so probably an average of about $30 per title. Where do I see how many games I've purchased?
I have 101 unique titles in my library, but not all are paid for and some are bundles or add-ons etc.


No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

I bought Endless Space and Endless Space 2. Only played the first one so far. I can see what you meant...I think it may have been the poor tutorial and manual. I will try them both and a few times and see. Also bought XCom 2...have not played yet.

I bought a game called Stellaris. You should try that one...it sucked me in right away. lol

Got the Command & Conquer bundle, I’ve not really played those, but I know they’re popular.
Also got Act of Aggression, a game by Eugen I just noticed. Looks more my speed than the Warfare games.

Could be yes. The reviews and comments about ES 2 are really good. I believe it's a good game, and of course I wouldn't have purchased it otherwise. But it just didn't grab me straight away. I'll give it another go when they've added some additional content I think.

Also bought XCom 2...have not played yet.


The second original XCOM was one of those games that swept me off my feet. Bought on a lark, and then I proceeded to drop 300 hours in to it. The combat is just so good. In XCOM 2, I started with the tutorial, and then kept getting my butt kicked. Started over without the tutorial and it's been going well. I'm only a few hours in, but I'm liking XCOM 2.

I have it. One of the few games I did buy on release. I really enjoyed it, up until the point where my glorious navy was crushed by a massive coalition and I stopped playing. Back then, the AI put every single ship in to a huge doomstack. The combat just wasn't very well done in my opinion. Plenty of DLC has been released and I suspect it's improved, but I haven't revisited it in a long time. I have quite a few Paradox games, with a couple thousand hours in EU IV. Their DLC policy has put me off somewhat in the past couple of years, but that's a personal thing. But there's no doubt Paradox are masters of Grand Strategy games. Crusader Kings, Hearts of Iron and Victoria are also excellent titles.

Here's a thread about my foray in to this game.

I've been wanting both Dishonored 2 and Prey for awhile now and pondering on one out of the two to get but then I discovered almost at the last minute that they are actually running a packaged deal on both Arkane games which was a nice surprise. So I picked up:

Dishonored 2
Prey
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (almost finished with Human Revolution)

I really, really need a new military game but I'm uncertain what to go with. What I really need is another Splinter Cell but I've played them all since the original and I've probably have just about anything else that's like them. So I broke it down to either Tom Clancy Wildlands or Sniper Elite 4 which happens to be real cheap right now. Out of the two would anyone recommend one over the other? I still haven't finished Sniper Elite 3 but SE4 is really running a good sale right now. For the most part I've enjoyed those games though there are some things that always annoy me and wish would be fixed but the developers never do. There good games but with a few simple game play tweaks it really could be something really special. Though I think I would ultimately like Wildlands, I recently tried The Division for free and hated it. I've watched many, many videos but I just can't decide between the two. I'm also concerned that Wildlands seems to not have the best optimization. Are there any other military third person games or military stealth games that I'm missing?

if you have friends to play with, definetely wildlands, BUT dont get gold, only the fallen ghost is somewhat good, but only for dificulty it raise otherwise sniper elite 4 is much better then 3.
