I already had bfbc2. I just bought the vietnam expansion. It's okay I guess, but it seems really crowded, and there are a lot of grenades going off everywhere.
I also don't like how the attackers spawn closer to the m-comm stations than the defenders do on most maps. |

I got ripped off buying portal2 like this, 50€ to me, or 50$ to anyone in the US. I can't believe they can still do this.
we shouldnt forget that we Europeans also get our salary in € and not in $, so theres not really a reason to complain, or am i missing anything? ofc steam earns more from us, but why should they give us the US prices? |

No we don't you doesn't get it!
Du kannst $ nicht mit € vergleichen! Die Lebenshaltungskosten sind in den USA ganz andere dazu sind die Gehälter ja auch nicht 1:1 gleich. Die Amis bekommen halt z.b. Statt 1500€ eben 2000$.
Es ist ja bei allem anderen auch so, dass wir nicht 300% MEHR bezahlen.
Fakt ist: 300% mehr zu zahlen ist eine Frechheit.

Is BC2 worth the buy, assuming BF3 coming out in a few months? Its very tempting, because I am getting a little bit bored of SC2 due to me playing only team games... However, I don't want to throw 8$ away at a game that I won't fully enjoy because BF3 will crush it (Assuming it will)
Thoughts?

| Are there still plenty of people who play BC2? I would hate to buy it (even at this amazing price) if there are like 10 people on at any given time. |

If you're having qualms about "throwing away 8$" then maybe you shouldn't browse Steam sales.
Whether you'll be able to enjoy the game or not is something we won't be able to tell you unless you tell us more about your gaming preferences. BC2 is the game for you if you enjoy FPS multiplayer based on squad-level teamwork, where you can still get things done if you work on your own but get rewarded highly if your team manages to work together instead. However, if you're looking for endless hours of single player entertainment or multiplayer that encourages rambo-like solo playing then you shouldn't invest into the game.
Also, considering that BF3 is scheduled for release in Q4/2011, you still have at least half a year to toy with what's widely considered to be one of the best multiplayer FPS games (which still has a huge and vibrant community). 8$ is a steal for this game. |

I've put up a list of these games, but i'm way to lazy to make this many polls =) Just post here, which games you recommend! 
/edit: I also added the hearts of iron III list, this is newly released or something and thus down 70% or whatever. Never heard of it, has anyone else?Last edit: 2011-05-11 07:08:48 |

I just bought the "Patricians and Merchants" pack. I've always wanted to try the Patrician series and I've read some good reviews of Darkstar One before. Never heard of The Great Art Race, but 2,49€ for three games is dirt cheap.
Patricians and Merchants Pack on Steam
Patrician III + Darkstar One + The Great Art Race
2,49€ |

You missed Commandos in your listing. They're part of the Kalypso strategy pack.
All four of them are on sale...Kinda outdated, but for ~$1.50 they should hold your interest for a few hours if you're inclined to puzzle solving. |

He didn't miss them. Commandos just isn't available on Steam in Germany. |

I can see why that would be the case, but seems rather silly ^_^

I played through Behind Enemy Lines first which is probably why I like it more. As I said before, they're pretty good puzzle/strategy games and well worth the $1.50 they cost. The rundown of the game is that you control a bunch of commandos, each with unique abilities/items and you must accomplish covert ops to help win the war. They generally involve blowing things up which is always a fun time  Last edit: 2011-05-12 05:58:36 |

Oh man, so many hours lost playing commandos, trying to figure out how to not get killed and how to not sound any alarms, such awesome games !
Definetly recommend picking up all of them if you didnt play it before. |
