Steam Sales: Mount & Blade

[alexei]

Get it this weekend for $4.99/€4.99/£3.99.

It's hack&slash RPG though, not ARPG.

Check it (http://store.steampowered.com/app/22100/) out.

Awesome! Been eyeing Mount & Blade off for a while now so this steam sale is perfect :D

[Coridan]

I just picked it up. Thanks for the info!

[Renevent]

Absolutely fantastic game, been playing it for years now. Make sure you guys check out the mod section on the official forums as well.

I'm totally addicted to this game now! I also just found out about the secret samurai armor. That should be fun to get =).

A sequel, Mount & Blade: Warband, is coming out this year.

With multiplayer, up to 12v12 (I think) players, plus computer-controlled units, that will be awesome.

Yeah I saw that. It looks like it's slated for 3/30/2010. I'm seriously considering getting that also. The graphics look a lot better and the chance of becoming a king sounds pretty sweet as well.

Looks like the multiplayer will support up to 64 players. So many good games coming up!

You got my hopes up, I thought the game was on sale again in time for the expansion. I sadly missed this deal and really enjoyed the demo.

[alexei]

Sorry. Maybe I should create a new thread for something like this in the future. I hope you will get the deal in the future. I think they gonna put some sales for original M&B since the expansion is coming out. Maybe you can get better deal with bigger pack.

Don't worry about it alexei, I have just been keeping one eye on Steam looking for a M&B related deal because I became interested when I saw some footage of the new expansion like a week after the weekend Steam deal, then I picked up the demo and found it was like Sid Meiers Pirates! On horseback and I was hooked.

I would totally pay $30-40 for M&B+Warband, but $60 seems a little steep, especially when I would be picking up a copy for me and the wife who has become equally fascinated by the game.

[alexei]

Wow it's great to have wife who also enjoy games ^^ But it's true, $60 too steep.

After reading that Warband is not actually an expansion, but its own game and being marketed as a sequel I went ahead and picked it up off steam. The game is just way too good to pass up on a 2nd time and the developers are perhaps the smallest I have ever seen and truly deserve the money.

Edit: Oh dear lord is Warband Awesome. I thought the original Mount & Blade was neat and detailed, even The Native Expansion looks unprofessional and shallow in contrast to the awesome work they have done on Warband. This is so much fun!

I can also confirm, Warband is a Stand alone expansion, it does not require the original Mount & Blade to play the expanded and upgraded campaign. Everything that was in Mount & Blade is in Warband and then some.

I've not played Warband, but I worked for several months on a moderately successful mod for this game. I highly recommend anyone who hasn't played Mount & Blade yet do so. It provided many months of enjoyment for me before I got tired of it.

Void, Amazon has Warband for $27.00 so you can pick it up there. The few reviews there are also one extreme or the other. I was a tester for M&B in its infancy stages (early alpha etc.) It's been so long I forgot how the game is.

my question to all of you playing is it worth to pick up both or is Warband as big and far better? Also, I am running Windows 7 X64 and a GTX 275. Any known issues with Windows 7 compatibility? Thanks for any and all help childrens (does his best chef impersonation) :D

I have:

Windows 7 64bit
260GTX
4GB

Runs smooth maxed out @ 1680X1050.

Bought Warband on launch day from Steam when I found out it was a Standalone and i didn't need to buy the original Mount & Blade to play. But thank you for the heads up!
