Is Football Manager 2011 good enough to get my $14? I know there's a demo, but I want to get the opinions of the people here too. The Steam servers are so slow, it took me about five minutes to download Terraria...

EDIT: I'm installing EU3 right now, so that's why I can't download the demo.

EU3: Complete is great, by the way. I have HoI II and didn't enjoy it that much, but EU3: Complete is very fun.

It's hands down the best manager game there is.

Isn't it?  At the rate I'm going I'm going to end up with 15 to 20 new games for under 60 dollars.  :)

Heey, I would buy majesty 2 for 4 dollars in a pinch.

Just like Majesty 1 right?

Honestly... in a lot of ways Majesty 1 is better.  After a while to me M2 just felt like I was playing just for the sake of saying I finished, not because I was really having that much fun.

Hmm, I own the first STALKER and enjoyed it...any others that are worth picking up?  Thought I'd heard one of them had very good mods...

Well Clear Sky is terrible. I've never finished it.

The faction war (which is pretty much the only thing the game has) starts out great.
I joined the bandits and were having a ball blasting up all the loners. Got some sweet loot and decided to go and do the main quest just when the loners did a counter attack. By the time I got back to teh warzone the weak arse bandits managed to lose 5 check points.

Pissed off I took them back very slowly when another counter attack was preformed and I lost some checkpoints on the other side of the map. Annoyed I took back those bases using up most of my ammo and BAM more fucking bases capped.
Got sick of the dance back and forth and decided to try and cap all the loners' bases to stop 'em coming.

Little did I know theres no way to order around those lazy arse gangstas and they were content sitting on their arses while getting shot at. So I had to try and cap the bases alone.
After hours, HOURS, of gameplay running back and forth between the two factions waging war and trying to defend my main base I managed to get some head way.

The problem? The lazy bandits refused to cap the bases. Apparently a faction can't be wiped out. Which makes you ask whats the point of it.

Raged and let the dopey fuck bandits die I ran off and did the quests. Got so far untill a game breaking bug where a loner npc that couldn't be killed started to shoot me on site because I used to be a bandit, couldn't advance what little plot there was so I gave up.



As for Call of Pripyat it's much much better.
The game was like heaven for me. Everything was great, the food mechanics, the gunplay, the quests, pretty much everything.

Untill...
The plot. Oh god the plot. It starts out fine, things start to heat up but without trying to spoil anything the game loses all direction near the end.
When you get to the main area of pripyat which the game was making out to be some sort of treasure cove of awesome and you find it completely empty. Well, it's a kick in the balls.

Summing up. CS, avoid. CoP better than SoC untill near the end where it falls flat on it arse and disappoints you.

If I don't already own AI wars is it worth getting the complete DLC bundle for an extra £1.20?  I have enough spare tickets to get the prize one free but do the other two add much to the game?

This is, of course, the day I run out of Paypal money. At least the fifty bucks extra I put in should transfer soon.
