There's some weird reviews for this game. Is it true it is constantly trying to suck money out of the player?

Updated "little" REVIEW ON Crusader Kings II: It´s flaws just becomes more and more evident the longer i play it, i HATE how Paradox have made it into one RTS game since you during war gets totally bombarded with irrelevant pop up screens about this and that, and have i mentioned that my temper isn´t that great always? I flat out start to raise my voice against the game.
Does this look like a normal RETREAT to anyone? (Pic below).
Have you tried to check out the other options? There are a lot, almost as many as Matrix World in Flames, and you can save your choices.

There is a free DLC for World of Warships on Steam at the moment. The Exclusive Starter Pack
https://store.steampowered.com/app/844890/World_of_Warships__Exclusive_Starter_Pack/
The DLC is not compatible with an account created outside of Steam. The base game is free on Steam.
Been playing it for nearly 3 years. And you can just d/l from its site if you don't favor Steam. Battles never last more than 20 minutes. Ands if you sink, you can exit and try a different ship in your collection. You don't get this pack though if you don't go through Steam.

There are things that cost money. But you don't have to spend any to play. Lately I've bought a few ships, premium time and doubloons. But you can play your way from Tier 1 to Tier 10 without spending a dime. Along the way you earn credits, XP for ships and commanders, and free XP. You use those to research ships, improve your current ship, commander skills, and if you save enough free XP, a premium ship.
I can show some examples if you wish.
Watched a documentary on beavers. Best dam documentary I've ever seen.

Darkest Hour: A Hearts of Iron Game got -75% cut. I bought it a month or so ago and have played multiplayer.
You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.

RE: Steam sale thread
I've got both AI War games. It's done by an excellent guy, but the games are very different from any other. Watching a YouTube video before buying is what I would suggest.
RE: Steam sale thread
I played the first game to death back in the day. I have all of the expansions too. The variety of situations (maps, AIs, random units pool...) is so great that I guess one could play only this game for years and never experience everything it has to offer...ORIGINAL: LarryP

RE: Steam sale thread
So I assume you liked the first AI, any plans to buy #2? It's done extremely well but it's just a very different kind of game. AND, being RTS makes it unlikable for me right off. The programmer developer is a very meticulous guy. He has help for everything and options galore. Just wish it were not real time...[:(]
I bought both AI games to support the dev and will buy all he does in the future. Not many programmers as picky and thorough as him.

RE: Steam sale thread
I'll watch some YouTube videos first. I still like the first game a lot, so I want to know what changes the developer has made for AI 2 before jumping in.ORIGINAL: LarryP

Regarding the first, I supported the development by buying the expansions over the years, but there still are a couple of them that I never activated in game - go figure. [:)]

RE: Steam sale thread
This new AI has amazing help, tooltips, and options. I'm always impressed by Chris Parks ingenuity. It's fun, but just different. It's like the first game pretty much, just much more of it. Now that we have been talking about it, I'm going to give it another go.
RE: Steam sale thread
Everything has detailed tooltips, fonts are ideal for my 1920*1080 monitor. It can also be customized. I've purchased after reading it here. Real time but with pause looks good so far.
RE: Steam sale thread
It's also got cheats through the chat menu. The cheats are on the wiki site. Some are for making things easier, some for harder. They go both ways.
RE: Steam sale thread
Decisive Campaigns: Ardennes Offensive got on Steam just recently with -15% price cut and entire series with -64% cut! Which one do I choose... I don't have any of the games, so I buy the whole series and regret it later!

As a big BSG series fan, I played it all the way through with all the add ons.
If you like an epic feeling space sim, you'll really enjoy it.
But play it on Admiral difficulty. Anything less makes the Cylons no challenge at all.

Played it a long time back. It was fun to start with but the difficulty in training and keeping alive officers put me off. Turned the game into a grind where any loss of an officer could halt the campaign.

Hi guys,
I would like to try Star Trek Armada 3 mod but, for this, I need to buy Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion.
Never installed Steam on my computer, and, given the current price, I won't buy. Is there a way to subscribe to something to know when the game will be on sale?

Re: Steam sale thread
Steam has a wishlist. I don't use it, but I assume it is meant to send a note to user when something goes on sale. Someone else can tell in more detail (I hope).

Thanks, the ultimate edition is out of stock on Instant Gaming. Shame.
There is only the standard edition but I don't know if the Star Trek Armada 3 mod is using the DLCs.

Re: Steam sale thread
That's correct - you receive an alert when a game you have on your wishlist goes on sale. I keep between 80-100 games or DLC on my wishlist at any one time.
