Steam summer sales.
« on: June 21, 2014, 11:02:41 AM »
Not sure if you are all steam junkies like myself.
It's that time of year again when they have Summer sales. There are always some great deals. I pretty much wait from year to year for the sale. up to 70% off current title games is pretty sweet.
you can even find descent titles for under $5.

and have any of you guys checked out "Next Car Game"? I'ts a early access and still a long way to go. but the crash physics are pretty sweet.
They only have 3 cars atm. It's very much based on derby style racing. The driving physics are somewhere between arcade and sim..
I'm pretty new to race sims so my opinion isn't worth much. but NCG I think shows potential too. and it's $22.49 AU..

I swear this is not an advert. :o

I think I know what you mean.. Seeing HQ premiers and the like in demo derby's it's like OMG WUT R U DOING??!!

One thing I do wonder how much griefing would be a part of Next Car Game in multiplayer. as it kind of encourages no-rules racing. get to the finish line at all costs.
It's quite comical to play though.

Well maybe you should check it out Bird. I see on my friend list that Marty has it. maybe he can give a pro opinion of it.

it's fun trying to see over a smashed bonnet from in car view, or landing on top of other cars over jumps, ploughing into rows of tyre walls.

I'm not going to.  It's early access.   I'm not paying premium to be a beta tester.  If it's good, it'll be available when it's ready.
Probably cheaper, too :)

It might not have been on sale. I've added it to my wish list. they do change often over the sale.

I got it a while back but honestly find it quite boring and have only ran a handful of laps at most. I also have Beam NG which I think is much better as the crash physics are pretty amazing driving wise both are rubbish. Beam NG I spent a few minutes just finding ways to wreck my car in slow motion NCG I may give another try when its finished but no rush to run it again.

Its amazing in beam ng you can waste an hour or so just throwing your car off a cliff in slow motion. Then using the most primitive AI wreck fest just to see different ways of wrecking a car each time.

Really thinking of getting SpinTires. Looks like fun.
 Need a bit more of an arm twist for $30 though.

Hard to find a negative review on Steam.
