What was Idle Thumbs verdict on Conviction?

It is NOT an SC game.

[Nappi]

Luckily I don't have any feelings towards the Splinter Cell series.

Well if you like 24 go for it. If you haven't played it get Chaos Theory too.

[Moelman]

This happened.

Wonder when the first actually good deal will be.

[Nappi]

Haha.. Yeah, my wallet is safe for now.

Well if you like 24 go for it.

Shit. I was just about to buy it but now I have some serious doubts.

[JonCole]

Majesty 2 for $4 was pretty good.

[Sully907]

I know it wasn't technically a DAILY deal. But Singularity was a great value at 10 dollars during the midweek.

[miffy495]

Shit. I was just about to buy it but now I have some serious doubts.

I found Conviction to be frustrating, stupid, overly-restrictive, and bland. Just about everything I don't want from a stealth action game. That said, Chaos Theory is the shit, so buy that.

I find it hard to imagine there's someone in the idle thumbs community that HASN'T played Far Cry 2 by now, but if they haven't there's really NO excuse now.

I haven't. I've been waiting for this day!

I have played Far Cry 2, but that project has been on hiatus for 1,5 years now.

I haven't played it.

The game has been gathering dust on my shelf for quite some time now.

Only on my PS3! Now that I've updated my 'puter, I can't wait to see what it looks like.

I only played it on PS3 as well, and it was still gorgeous and fun.

[brkl]

Yes it was. Actually I decided not to get it for the PC. I was expecting even cheaper :x 7.5€ is too much to get something I already own just to see how it plays on the PC.

[Kolzig]

Isn't Far Cry 2 just 5€? Bundled with Farcry 1 it's 7,50€?

Apparently in Europe it's 7,50€ for FC2 and for the bundle 9,99€.

How much is it in US then?

Why does Kotaku AU say it's $5?

http://www.kotaku.com.au/2011/05/far-cry-2-is-5-on-steam/

Are Europeans being cheated again? $5 is 3,50€ in real world currency.

Europeans are being cheated on the FC2 deal, yes.

[Patters]

Europeans are being cheated on the FC2 deal, yes.

For the Euro, yes they are.

[Roderick]

That happens across the board, but then that's the price you pay for living in a first world country instead of the US

[Orv]

I didn't mean the as a QQ, I just meant, it always seems to happen to the poor guys. It sucks.

Yea, same on the Dead Space 2 deal, recently. 30 euro vs. 25 dollars. Luckily I have a friend in the states who I can paypal money, who then gifts me the game. On a price of 50 euro, that costs me 35 euro instead. By grabthar's hammer, what a savings.

[DanJW]

Wow, that sucks. In UK£ Farcry is £2.50. In the past we normally get a markup too.

At £2.50 I'm happy to gift the game to a long-time thumb, just on principle.
