Stronghold 3 on Steam sort of tempts me. I want to like it but I keep seeing so much negativity on the Steam forum about the game and the bugs in it. It is kind of hard to know really though how good or bad it is now after all the fixes they did put in. Unfortunately, they stopped patching it and I wonder if many of those complaining are giving feedback on experiences before the game was patched to whatever extent it was.
Anyone here play it and have comments?

Would anyone recommend the RAGE for 5 euros? RAGE isnt available on steam for me, but it is on gamersgate. And how is it with the DLC?

I really enjoyed RAGE but then again I also liked DOOM 3. Some random thoughts follow.
The shooting levels are all fairly linear. You travel between them on an overworld/ hub map similar to the way its done in Zelda games. RAGE uses vehicles on it's overworld. It's not really an open world game.
The story is bare bones like you'd expect. Towns add some atmosphere but this is no RPG. There are mini games and there is some crafting (mostly for creating good ammo and special items). Surprisingly, racing is not really a major component. You only need to beat 1 or 2 races to complete the game.
Thanks to the megatexture tech, RAGE has a very pretty painted look. It's one best looking games I've ever seen. At the same point, thanks to the fancy megatexture tech, RAGE has crazy low res textures who texels might poke your eye out if you get too close.
id forgot to make a final boss.

Just wanted to note that I enjoyed RAGE despite it basically being a proof-of-concept. The one major downfall of it was the last ten minutes of gameplay. Quite possibly the worst finale I've ever encountered in a video game. So much lead-up and no pay-off with a boss of any kind.

I bought Darkstar and I'm downloading file 1 of 24.
The first file is 650 MB.
Downloading at 25k per second.
:( At least I can resume.
