Any opinions on E.Y.E? I am thinking of buying it, however that 60 average on Metacritic worries me a little. How is the game optimized? Is the multiplayer still active? Bugs?

Thanks in advance :)

There's a multiplayer?

Why must everything be about multiplayer? x_x

The game runs on the source engine, ergo, runs very well. No bugs thus far.

Game's a lot of fun.

I greatly enjoyed the SP and the whole concept of the gameplay,but the game can be very obtuse sometimes. Most of the issues with the game were solved for the most part,but it still has some problems here and there(like crashes from time to time).

There is MP but in the form of Co-op,so if you have friends that want to play as well I strongly recommend you getting it,otherwise you will barely find any Co-op games going on these days,though maybe now that its on sale you´ll find quite a few people playing.

AvP: Can be fun but multiplayer is pretty much dead Rage: Fun but a little on the short side with meh multiplayer Frozen Synapse: Really fun for people who love tactical games.

Aliens Versus Predator is pretty fun. Definitely not as great as Monolith's AVP2, but you'll definitely get some enjoyment out of that price. I'm actually thinking about downloading the additional map packs since I occasionally play online from time to time.

Is Rage worth it at $15? I am inclined to wait since I am betting it will get down below $10 soon.

Just to help anyone, the E.Y.E. divine cybermancy objective (the gift) is very easy. Just kill someone (anyone) and they drop a gift. just walk over it and you instantly get research and the achievement.

MythPro1

The monster campaigns are awesome. The marine is OK, sort of like a Doom 3 mod. The game feels more like the original than AvP2.

It has plenty of fan service, ultraviolence (the executions are INSANE) and looks and runs really good.

[QUOTE="madrocketeer"]Edit: Make that 3. Just bought Bastion + Soundtrack for $16.73.MythPro1

Might have wanted to wait for Bastion to be featured as a daily deal. Could have got the game and the soundtrack for a couple bucks cheaper. It's still a good game though regardless.

so is ANYONE actually considering using one of those coupons??ChikaraShref

The most sought after coupons are the ones for Skyrim and Bethesda games. There are a few valuable coupons out there. Just not many.

all mine currenty have just as good or better deals :|

MasterofMatty
Not well. I remember it was extremely squirrelly with the keyboard and the fact that it would be difficult to do all the different attacks and keep steering. If you don't have a controller, I recommend skipping it.

Hm what now? :P I just found a guide to use my PS3 controller on PC. Maybe I'll try that. Dirt 3 supports the controller correct?

Anyone want to trade coal for coal or portal for something? Also got a 50% of sega classics collection coupon if you want to just trade a coupon for coupon.

Thinking about Train Sim 2012 today. When I seen for £2.50 was like yeah gotta have that.

Nice to see though that for a change I have some of the games that are used for the objectives. Still does anyone else feel dirty just firing up a game to grab a quick cheevo for it when you didn't intend to play it now but get around to it another day.

$20 on Amazon at the moment. They listed it even cheaper during the Black Friday sale, so perhaps they'll reduce it even further.

Are you sure about that:? I killed lots of people, none of them dropped a gift. Do I have to get to a specific point before I can earn the achievement.

Played about 30 minutes before one dropped and I just randomly saw it on the ground, I was fighting way too many enemies, didn't notice one of the dropping it.

Yep I got it. None dropped in the tutorial, nor did they drop when I randomly killed everyone in my home base. When I got to the mission, it started dropping, so I'm good now.

Although, now I don't get to see what I've won. My inventory is down and refuses to load. Curse steam servers during sale events. Guess I'll see what I got in a few hours.

23.99$ on GOG. All the money goes straight to the developers.

So... I still don't know if I should pick up Rage or not. I like Shooters and I even like morenybridShooters/RPG. I really liked Borderlands and Fallout. The story is not a big deal for me. As long as the game is fun and that its replayability is good. So, should I buy this for 15$?

In the same boat :D! I hear the game is a 22gig download though. Ouch.
