Omerta-City of Gangsters

Payed 20$ and I don't regret it yet. (Didn't play too much so can't judge yet.)

I still think that every game should cost 25$ Max. ANY GAME, even your average AAA title :)

I rarely ever feel any game is worth its full retail price. Wait for a sale, you said yourself that you don't hate the game, you just don't feel its worth 45 euro.

the game is HORRRIBLE worst game i have played in a while
also the download file size is smaller then the new dlc dragonborn its 800 or so mb it will be on sale for like $5 or less soon enough

Over-hyped? I haven't heard anything about it, then saw giveaways for it popping up and checked the store page out of curiosity.
Looked pretty terrible, mediocre at best.

Who hyped the game? I feel like I've been missing out :D

I bought it trough one of my game contacts , i think I paid $20 :)

Iwould not ave bought it at the full price .. I have sent a good few hours playing it and find it more fun to play than the usual mobster shootem/beatem type games :)

I have to agree with OP, a lot of reviews stated it's "a combination of xcom & tropico 4" and that fans of that genre would love it, while in fact the game has no depth whatsoever, no micromanaging & the combat animations are horrible.

On top of that, nearly all the advertising suggests that it's an open world or at least a city, and there is even 1 screenshot on the steampage that i.m.o. implies that you can at least purchase/own vehicles (which is not possible, your thugs run everywhere)

But to be honest i did find the game entertaining for about 2 hours, after which i realized that i was waiting for buildings/options to unlock that didn't exist in this game and that there is nothing else left to do in the game but repeating the same actions over and over again.

what is gangsters and gangsters 2?

$60 in Europe?

What the actual fuck?...

I like it. i am going to wait for it to hit75% off thoguh.

Maybe worth 75off

i really want the game, but yeah, i'd say it's overpriced.

then again, i refuse to pay full price for any game.

I like it and paid 34$ for pre-order played more than 30 hours and enjoyed that , I think If U like turn based games it's very good and even better than XCOM , but if u like action gangster don't bother the game and fu** off ... X(

I recently won this, and I have to say, it's a decent game. There is one thing I don't like about the game though, the cheesy music.

Not sure why you thought it was over-hyped :S

Over-hyped ? I didn't even know about this game a week ago. XD

i just came to knew abt this game after seeing a giveaway by CG..

Over-hyped? Definetly not; maybe in a sense of "this is the new game coming from the developer's of Tropico" even though it barely has anything to do with it...

I payed ~13$ for it, so I can't complain with the pricing, but the game is too simple and the game's mechanics are too basic and unrefined for a 45€ game, even at 15% off...

Also to anyone who just blindly bought it because they're into the Gangsters theme or wanted another game like Gangsters 1 or 2, really should have played the demo first... The demo really represented the simplicity of the game. I like it and the multiplayer can be fun at times (although it still baffles me how the hell they couldn't implement a chatting function let alone making you able to see who the f*ck you're actually playing with at the moment...)

I found it disappointing. It's not a bad game, it's just not very good either, and too simplistic.

I'm a big fan of turn-based strategy, and Omerta just doesn't cut it. The management part is ridiculously easy, and once you get yourself set up nothing can go wrong. There are no rival gangsters, no on-map police raids (just a lame pop-up you can make go away by paying some dirty money), nothing that can threathen your illegal business at all. There's really nothing that can go wrong, which makes the game extremely boring.

The combat part is much better, but it's still very uninspired and bland. Bad animations, uninspired skills, very poor enemy AI, and just not a lot of tactics required to win. At least the new XCOM actually required you to think ahead on the higher difficulties, but in Omerta there's never a real sense of danger.
