I didn't like a single bit of Grey Goo. Pretty much the whole experience was underwhelming and I wouldn't recommend it at $30. $20 maybe.

Is it just me or are some prices goind down even though the flash deals haven't ended yet. F1 was 14.99 earlier, now it's $11.99. Papers Please is 3 bucks and it was 5 earlier.

The game, it unlocks special prices for the day as achievements are unlocked. (But they aren't supposed to unlock until 10am, so I don't know.)

So I got Papers, Please for $5, thinking the Flash Sale was the deepest discount it'd get. Now it's $3... and still a flash sale. Anybody mind school the uninitiated (me) on how this shit works, please?
Refund the game using the reason "It's now on sale for cheaper" and then re-buy it.

Reviews talking about removing un-necessary micro. Any feedback on that? I'm no 150 APS guy anymore, just looking for a fun base building game to then roll my army through some dudes, or computer opponents.
Unfortunately I've been out of town all week so probably won't get to try it for a while. I sure don't care for micro management though so I hope it is true.

Underwhelming compared to SC2? Or what made you feel that way?
This was my post in the Grey Goo thread. Had to go back and find it b/c honestly it was hard to remember with any specifics:

Disclosure; RTS is not my preferred genre and I'm not very hardcore with them, ymmv.

Gave this a whirl the past two or three nights and can't say that I enjoy it. Probably 8 missions or so in and nothing seems revolutionary, impressive, or, well anything outside of a normal RTS. Even the missions are pretty copypasta from all the previous games ranging from: protect your base until reinforcements arrive, protect your base until we gather enough resources, we need to build a bigger base and eliminate X threat. I only point it out because of some of the developer interviews talking about this genre redefining RTS 2.0.

Performance wise it also seems underwhelming. Doesn't feel smooth and fluid even though the FPS are generally high. The build trees and resource management, at least through the Beta campaign, were meh. Their implementation of build hotkeys didn't come off as any more efficient or better than the old standard.

Not sure it is worth the $50, for me at least. I'll probably try to find a trainer and play through the story just to see what it is all about.
So there you go. I do hope you like it, it just wasn't for me. Maybe it has since been patched or community mods have fixed some things. Bump the old thread if you find it kicks ass or some info, would probably go back and play it if so.

Grimrock II for 75% off. Has it ever been that low? I grabbed it.
