affenkopf: I love the fact that the DeusEx collection is more expensive than buying the two games individually (not that there's any reason to buy DeusEx 2 anyway)

Noticed that, cheaper to buy them separately or the hitman/deus ex collection super-pack.

bansama: There's a Square-Enix/Eidos week on Steam. Today is Hitman games and Deus-Ex games...

I'm not interested in buying the games alone as I'm expecting an Eidos pack maybe in the last days of this, or in the following months.
Sadly the last Eidos pack didn't included Hitman: Contracts, all the tomb raider games (or at least the underworld in the pack, it was only anniversary and legend), and shellshock 1.

jungletoad: If the game that is Deus Ex 2 were ever released, but never claimed to have anything to do with Deus Ex, would it still be such a bad game? I'm just wondering if it is worth it if you go in without the expectation that it will be anywhere near as good as Deus Ex 1.

I played it on xbox a few years after i played DE1 on PC, and it was enjoyable enough. Going in knowing not to expect too much probably helped a lot.
Not really worth going out of your way to play, but it's a perfectly acceptable non-deus ex game.
Meh. I bet if I buy either of those games on Steam then Eidos is the next publisher to be announced.
It happened with Psychonauts.
It looks like The Deus Ex Collection is in the top sellers list, even if it's more expensive than buying the games individually.
I hope Batman will be on a deal that's able to match/better the deal that was on GFWL.

Oh, those poor stupid people. Oh well, I just consider it a hidden fee for being bad at math.
Today the deal at Steam is for
Battlestations Pacific $17.49
Battlestations Midway $9.99
Order of War. $14.99
Or all 3 for $28.89
Not unbelievable sales, but still.

For those tempted by Order of War on Steam, ShopTo have it for £6.
I was gonna buy Deus Ex 2 but I missed the sale because of the Bad Company 2 MP (Yes, I played a lot), I hope they will make all deals again on the last day.
The people at Steam have finally woken up and realised it's Wednesday. So the deal is now a Tomb Raider and Last Remnant bundle that doesn't include Last Remnant. FAIL!
Corrected now. How is Last Remnant? Worth buying?

Uh... it's a JRPG. If you like those, chances are you'll like it. It has an interesting combat system (though a bit too obscure and too dependant on chance sometimes), and great graphics, generally. Of course, as most JRPGs, it tends to become repetitive because of all the grinding you're forced to do. Still, not a bad game - I had fun with it, but eventually I got tired, and never finished it.

I played the demo and thought it seemed like a really subpar JRPG and a bad port. It still had all of the xbox 360 buttons listed in the tutorial parts, or as the marker to the next page of text.

There's an option in the settings menu to change that so it display the keyboard short cuts instead IIRC. But I haven't played it for a while so I may be remembering incorrectly.

Tried the demo out. Lame. I mean really lame.

For some stupid reason, they made Xbox 360 buttons the default, but you can switch it so button prompts display the keyboard keys, not the 360 buttons.
