Ys Oath of Felghana is $5.09. Kinda tempting...
The Harley Quinn DLC sucks uncut DICK
Dont buy it
Buying Grimrock, hope it's ok :drool
I didn't vote because I have Witcher and Arkham and don't care about Saints Row. Yes, I'm that cool -- what with the apathy and all.
You get badges for voting. Badges make you cool.

Whatevs. Maybe you need badges to be cool, but I don't.
It takes more than having an obscure DC character avatar to be cool around these parts.
I'd recommend Heroes VI, but $25 really isn't all that impressive for a Daily Deal on that one.
I just gifted a friend Stalker for 2 bucks. Now it's back to 4. What gives?
If they got around to adding town screens then it's totes worth 25 americans.
Hey, so which of the other STALKER games are good? I played through Shadow of Chernobyl but am also seeing Call of Pripyat and Clear Sky. Are they worth the time?

Pripyat YES, Clear Sky NO

They are supposed to patch those in at some point, right? Or are they saving that pivotal feature for an expansion?
Edit: Wait, hold the phone. Apparently the did just patch in town screen updates today! I'll have to check this out when I get home.

I dont want Saints Row :'(
I have never gotten better than 1mb speed. Guess this is Embarq being shit again!
so in SR3 co-op. do i bring in my character? like my fully upgraded character? how does that work. anyone know?
Saints Row 3 fuckin books on the PC, awesome port
I think I might buy Call of Pripyat, wondering what makes it better than the previous games
so in SR3 co-op. do i bring in my character? like my fully upgraded character? how does that work. anyone know?
You can, but if we're gonna play co-op I'd prefer a new character. A maxed character with a new character would make for some really boring co-op.
Oh shit, did I miss some of those flash-something deals?!
how the fuck is anyone here going to get any sleep with all these flash sales GAAAAAH
Don't buy flash sales. They'll appear in the last day at a much cheaper price.
For example, I got Noitu Love 2 for 2 bucks.
Darksiders is quality you fucker, buy it if you don't already have it
Darksiders is quality you fucker, buy it if you don't already have it
I already have it (I think), hence my disgust. I demand deals for games I don't own
I dunno. VVVVV isn't my style. It's a good game, but it just gets tiring. I prefer Meat Boy.

This is crazy compared to what I ended up buying during the underwhelming Christmas sale. Going by my list the Flash deals and Community Choice are evidently a success.
I know it's cliche to compare it to Minecraft, but it does have a good number of similarities in terms of possibly endless playtime though it has more action-adventure elements to it, so if you like that type of thing it's a solid pick up at $2-3.Hmm... thanks. I think I'll just get Ys Oath of Felghana. I've never played any of them despite my love for arpgs.
At $2.23, anyone without Isaac should GET ISAAC.It's $1.24 actually.

Is From Dust worth a fourver?

yeah, other than Portal you should really hold off on those. Especially those Half-Life games. You're missing out on HL2 Episodes 1&2, plus expansions for the original.
Thanks a lot Timber! :D

Ys Origin is a current Flash Deal.Yay or nay?
$8.
Six hours.
Yay or nay?I literally know nothing about the series other than it was a TurboDuo pack-in. Well, that and people love the fuck out of it, figured people here might want to know.
Aw man, I was hoping for 75% off QUBE. Who are these people that don't own Meat Boy and Plants vs. Zombies yet? Fucken weirdos.Those were the two most popular games of the trio. It's not really a surprise Qube would lose since few have heard of it.

I'm regretting not buying Alan Wake series for $10 :-\ Why did I fight the Steam Sale?!I went back and forth on this so much. But I feel like it's going to be $5 this winter, and I really should play the games I have.
I'll have to get Half Life 2 and its expansions. I've never played it before :(You just missed the entire Half Life pack for $10.

Is From Dust still ubisofted to hell and back? I want it to be good. really, really want.Last I knew: locked at 30 fps, doesn't work on some graphic cards, ubisofts drm, etc.

you don't need to mess with ini stuff anymore, I think. I'm pretty sure fans rigged up programs with nice guis to simplify that whole process. Don't know if Gearbox ever took out Gamespy for the multiplayer, though.No, GameSpy is locked in. 2 will have Steamworks.
Borderlands looks and runs great on PC. I only played it solo though. Maybe people had problems with the MP?Game basically didn't support scroll wheels on mice or widescreen at launch.

Is Witcher or Witcher 2 better?
was thinking about getting borderlands, but since all the broritos are waiting for 2, i guess i'll wait
oh wait, my laptop won't run 2 :(
I got Witcher 2 and don't know why. I won't get around to it for a few months. I think I'm nearing the arbitrary limit I set for myself. Unless I'm forgetting something, Rage is the last deal I'm waiting on.was thinking about getting borderlands, but since all the broritos are waiting for 2, i guess i'll wait
oh wait, my laptop won't run 2 :(
yeah, if you're looking to play Borderlands on PC long term, it's better to wait for 2.
And you never know. It might run fine on lower settings. It's a UE3 game built for consoles, and unless it's a hack job it shouldn't be too hard to run well.
Thanks for the gift Texp!
it appears the Fray flash deal is broken.
I'm dling Borderlands right now and it's going to be my game tonight, Cajole. Join me.
but it's still fray :fbm
Why isn't anyone getting Orcs Must Die?
Borderlands is fucking amazing, and whoever complained about the pc port ???Himmumuumumu I love Borderlands, but the PC port is a disaster(I only played for about an hour). It's salvageable though.

Is the L.A. Noire DLC worth an extra $2.50?
I hope the Hitman games get cheaper. I've never played one before and like to before Absolution.I'm waiting on the HD collection for my PS3, because, weirdly enough, it seems like the PC version of Hitman: Contracts doesn't seem to be available on any DL service, but all the previous and succeeding games are.

I can only afford one of the Hitman games. Which one is the best?

I'm probably one of the few here who ended up enjoying it overall. I think enjoying the setting and playing it to see the story unfold rather than playing it to enjoy it will help how you perceive it. And for ~$5 there's a good amount of content.
I bought Monkey Island 2 remake despite not liking Monkey Island because STEAM SALE
Wait, is Bastion good? Looks like some Boreans own it and it's metacritic score is 86. Looks alright, but I'm a bit full up on console-ish RPGs from this sale
Also, don't forget to vote Dead Space 2 folks!

Got the Moutn & Blade bundle. Don't know ANYTHING about these games, other than that they're large scale fantasy action games. Hope they don't suck!
Is Dear Esther any good? the two reviews I see refer to it as a "sad-em-up"
I am starting to doubt gifting certain people stuff because I never see them on Steam or playing a game so i feel like I wasted my money gifting them something despite them spending at least 50+ bucks in this sale. It is like they never play games on Steam but have no problem spending hundred on the sales. It makes no sense to me.
Still loving the shit out of Space Marine...I just got to the part where you kill orksspoiler (click to show/hide)That's a joke, son[close]
Dear Esther is like an art installation. You walk through it for an hour and it's VERY pretty and is more interested in evoking a theme and mood than forming a coherent narrative, and then it's over. It is VERY pretty however.
oh yah i wanted to grab wizorb
So the RPG stuff adds nothing to the game?

Dear Esther gave me a completely fresh perspective for video games. I really wish more developers would follow their experiment and simply remove all mechanics from your game if the focus is story. I think games like Call of Duty, Uncharted, Max Payne 3, et al. would benefit from being more like Dear Esther, and contain nothing but character movement while everything in the game automatically plays out. You get all the headshots, you come close to death a couple of times, and it's over in a few hours.
I feel like that's a more honest approach than their feeble attempts to shoehorn very shallow gameplay mechanics into something that is obviously meant to be a technical and artistic showpiece.

It's not really "Arkanoid with RPG stuff" so much as it's "Arknoid with a Wizard fighting a Dragon painted on the side of it's van".
Don't take this personally, but people like you are shitty for videogames. Watch movies for stories.
Don't take this personally, but people like you are shitty for videogames. Watch movies for stories.
You are mistaken, I wouldn't personally enjoy a game like that. I don't consider a narrative to be important or even necessary in the ingredients for a great video game.
What I'm saying is that it seems to be a popular choice among AAA game developers to fancy telling a story over building an experience around game mechanics. There is a thread on the first page about this very thing. (http://www.thebore.com/forum/index.php?topic=38653.0) I don't find it as offensive as Ruzbeh does that games are doing this, just dishonest, as I said before.
If your game is about a story, don't let me play it. Gameplay and story have conflicting goals. A story wants to move forward, a game wants to create adversity. I'm happy that a game like Dear Esther exists, because it shows the further side of the spectrum of what is possible in interactive entertainment. It's like the inverse of Tetris. Tetris is all game, no story. Dear Esther is all story, no game. Both are great for different reasons.
Dear Esther is nothing like a movie.Which gives me even less confidence then that whatever it is, is related to how the masses want to enjoy mainstream games.
Dear Esther is nothing like a movie.
Raban- I don't understand how that's not basically a movie that you just happen to move an avatar around in. Games should offer some sort of challenge, whether it be of the reflexes or the mind. Something that doesn't shouldn't be called a "game" in my opinion, and the people who make and enjoy them should be drummed out of the hobby.
The problem is your taking your personal opinion and then sort of grafting it onto the public which doesn't really work without some data to back it up. What you described might work for you but I have a feeling it would not work for the masses.
There are cinematic games that lower the gameplay quotient to achieve a better story element. Heavy Rain whatever somebody thinks about it I believe does a good job of this. I could add games like the Walking Dead or Journey and some others to the list. But there is no current evidence to suggest that the people who play Call of Duty, Gears of War, Halo, Uncharted, etc are looking for this. They like the action mixed with setpieces and linearity. Because forum types may not like it doesn't mean the masses don't.
I also wouldn't necessarily use that thread made by Ruzbeh to denote anything other than nostalgia and an inability to accept that the world changes and things aren't always going to be what you want them to be.
In full disclosure never played Esther although I've heard it described enough from the types who love game as art.
Hmm. We have different definitions for what a game is. For certain, my favorite kind of games are the ones that offer cognitive challenge, because I feel like I gain something for the time I spent mastering it. But in my opinion, games are simply about interaction. The kind of interaction involved is up to the developer, and I think it's to the benefit of the whole of game design that we explore all kinds of interaction before settling on just one.
You have played it. You mentioned Journey earlier. The two games share the same exact design. The main difference being that you are rewarded with audio cues in Dear Esther, and visual ones in Journey. The only mechanics in both games is movement, though Journey has the addition of a jump, I'd classify that as movement.
EDIT: I just thought of another way to explain what I'm trying to say. In the games I've mentioned, Heavy Rain etc., the reward for completing a gameplay scenario is a non-interactive cutscene. In actually good games, the reward for completing a gameplay scenario is becoming better at the game.
I like the Demon Hunter class!
As for Dear Esther, it is what it is. I enjoyed it for what it is. It's an interactive poem with associative narrative.
Journey works for me personally because its all mystical and all sort of in your head and artsy. It works as an art piece because we already categorize the elements it does as artsy. The more concrete and the more real world it gets, the more that simplicity wouldn't work for it anymore. Instead I would feel the need to have more typical gaming elements in it, even if they are gaming lite elements like Walking Dead and Heavy Rain have.
There is nothing less artsy than a typical shooter.
Could somebody make a shooter artsy. I guess. But no one is going to do that because its probably not what most people are coming to it ofr when they play those type of games. That's not even to mention the multiplayer part which informs the single player part.
So yes in theory somebody could make the journey of shooters but I think there is reason why this is highly unlikely and its based on what people want to play. If some ingenious designer decides to try it and succeeds then more power to him. I just don't think its likely.
I still fail to see how stuff like Dear Esther has any REAL interaction. Sounds like you're a passive observer. Doesn't sound like a game at all. I would be all for taking this sort of thing out of the "gaming" classification of entertainment. Call it "interactive wankery" or whatever and market it separately.
Well, it doesn't sound like much of a game either.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FISKING

New York, 2000......Without knowing how or why, Brian, a student on the verge of graduating from college, is attacked by Mafia gangsters. During his desperate getaway, in the company of a mysterious striptease dancer, he ends up meeting a wide range of unusual characters.
you know, whenever the store comes back upGlad I'm not the only one having this problem.
I never played either Arkham games, are the PC ports good? Are Asylum, City, and Impostors (plus all DLCs) worth $24.99?
Asylum and City are both good. Just those would cost you $17. City comes with the Catworman DLC; I don't really think it's worth an additional $7 for the additional City DLC and GCI.
tl;dr: Buy the base games of the real titles; ignore the rest.
Batmane Asylum is a thing of beauty. City is no Asylum but I would say that it's a fitting emotional and narrative conclusion to this particular interpretation of the enduring story of Bruce Wayne the man and Batman the legend.

Is there a way to see your steam library on the web? I want to know if I need to buy Stacking on my phone or if I own it already. I have it on PSN, but don't remember if I got the superior PC version in a past sale.
I am using steam mobile but I don't see the option to view your library and when I go to buy games I already own it doesn't tell me I own them like real steam does so I can't check that way.
I realized I don't know my password offhand so I can't sign in through the web. Can one of you guys check if I own stacking?

I don't want anyone to gift me games. While I appreciate the thought, the money's better spent on others.
btw, I just noticed I have a Counter Strike GO beta if anyone wants it. I don't know if it's still up since the game is coming out soon, but if someone wants to try, just ask.
Raban, if you get the key and are given a new one, please pay it forward to me. :)
why the fuck would you vote for sanctum, it goes on sale all the time, krater just came out and has never gone on sale
steam users are dumbs
The pc ports are fantastic. I highly suggest playing with kbm. After that I can't go back to gamepad, but if you don't like kbm or can't adjust, gamepad is always an option.

I dunno bout that.
Mechanically it's probably the best. The beginning is stronger and they both kinda fall a part at the end. But Shadows of Chernobyl has better locations and places you go IMO and the plot thread it follows it more interesting. CoP doesnt really have much in the way of science labs, which were the best thing about SoC.

:lol I meant the boys on The Bore.
Go back and read after you asked if someone would gift NFS for you. There was a bunch of Thief love.
NFS runs like shit on my PC. :gloomy

yo so if I were to get one stalker game, which should it be?
If Shoot Many Robots goes back on sale, I recommend people pick it up- good clean fun
clearly the steam community is using the eenie-meenie-minie-moe voting methodology
Witcher 2 for $15.99 isn't as good as the goodoldgames deal.

Thanks for the gift beezy!:american
Honest Hearts and old world blues iirc
So far you're the only person to get a real gift from me, MAF. Although several other people have received Hydrophobia.spoiler (click to show/hide)Himu just got Secret of the Magic Crystals. :lol[close]
Honest Hearts and old world blues iirc
tl;dr: That is correct. Buy those two.
Dead Money: Survival Horror in a hotel. A completely separate economy, invincible enemies, exploding collars, the works. If you get this you will DEFINITELY want to mod out some of the gameplay elements.
Honest Hearts: Mormons vs. Indians. This was my favorite DLC by a lot. The area's like visiting Yosemite, very different from the FO3/FONV desert. Best characters and writing in the game imo. <3 The Burned Man.
Old World Blues: "Goofy" sci-fi fallout. Very 50's B-movie vibe. This one is funny, for some values of funny. A lot of people's favorite.
Lonesome Road: Kind of a linear run-and-gun adventure; has some narrative conclusion about the Courier but otherwise not very well respected. At this point I was way burnt out and didn't even finish.
played some hard reset last night
man, that game is pretty to look at, and runs like butter even cranked all the way up

I'z been gifted robots! Thanks Eel, check yer steam account when you get a chance. :P
what mods are you talking about with Dead Money?
I already own that and Honest Hearts. Thinking I should get Old World Blues and go through all three. Do the DLC assume you're super knowledgeable about Fallout NV or is there some help to get you back in it? And are they fairly standalone and divorced from the main game?
The Experiment :bow
I love reciprocating gifts, it's only customary, but you don't have a wishlist. Please fix that.
I sent it along!

http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/40520 - MUST HAVE
http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/40725 - this basically breaks the DLC, but if you just care about the story *shrug*
Most of the mods are completely standalone stories, though you will need to relearn the items and battle mechanics.
Thanks Kevin (Eel)
I'm gonna go crazy and just start sending folks on evilbore steam group stuff for the hell of it.
I wish I could just name videogames all day.

I am Santa Bz and I bring forth the steam gifts!Did I make your naughty list?
Is Driver SF that good? I bought NFS:HP but that runs like poo on my rig. It's the first game in a long time that I have to wait for a CPU/mobo replacement to play.
:( jealous
:heart Robby :heart

Driver SF is awesome. I played it on Xbox. Seal of Approval.
I'm kind of conflicted on driver sf I rather just drive in sf city.
Your welcome beezy.
If your not on my friendslist your missing out. I've hit up all of the "active" bore users in the steam group if I've missed you add me bzchan to your friends.

So glad I got Ys Origin on a flash sale.

:bow :bow2 whoever you are!!!
So glad I got Ys Origin on a flash sale.
SAME.
Also, @ Eric P- I'm personally gonna wait on Rayman Origins, it will be super duper cheap during the holiday sale.
Anno 2070 was 50% off as a flash sale this morning.
How is legend of Grimrock?It's my GOTY so far. If you have fond memories of classics like Dungeon Master and Eye of the Beholder then it's a must-buy. The old school design of the combat isn't compatible with everyone though.
Chaos Theory is the best, mayne
Chaos Theory is the best, mayne
Hmm, $6.70 for Chaos Theory, or $11.50 for the Conviction pack that includes the original, double agent, and Chaos Theory. Conviction is probably worth a quick blow through - any reason not to get the Power Pack?

I think Chaos Theory and the other old Splinter Cells have dropped to $2.50 before? Conviction bottomed out at $5 for the standard edition and I'm guessing the Splinter Cell Pack includes the version with DLC.
Bought
-Terraria
-Binding of Isaac
-Torchlight
-Evochron Mercenary
I will ever get up to the levels of you guys and your massive lists :lol
I'd say so. Chaos Theory is the one to play (3rd game of the series). Really satisfying stealth and openness to missions. Splinter Cell 1 is great but its levels aren't as open and its harsher about playing stealthily. Pandora Tomorrow is even worse in that regard, and I never actually finished the single player of that game. Double Agent isn't great.
Conviction is different type of game from those four. It's closer to Batman Arkham action stealth. It's less about sneaking around and completing a mission and more killing bad guys by surprise.
Why would you give someone a bad game?

:heart greatest game ever :heart
what football club you rolling momoArsenal is the love of my football life :heart
I purchased:
- Splinter Cell Echelon Edition (original trilogy + Conviction)
- Universe Sandbox
- Burnout Paradise Ultimate Box
- FarCry 2
- Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet
- Botanicula
- Alan Wake + American Nightmare
- Thief: Deadly Shadows
- Stacking
- Metro 2033
- Wizorb
- Monkey Island 2 SE
- Ys Origin
- Trine 2
I was gifted:
- Warhammer 40k: Space Marine
- LA Noire
- Choplifter HD
- Hydrophobia: Prophecy
I gifted several copies each of:
- Thief Gold
- Wizorb
- Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet
So far, I've finished Wizorb (about 6 hours) and Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet (about 5). I've also played enough American Nightmare to know it's worth finishing and enough Stacking to know it's not. Plus about 2 hours of Warhammer and the first mission of LA Noire. LA Noire is GARBAGE.
I'm going to finish up American Nightmare, try the baseline Alan Wake (I hear I won't like it , compared to AN), then move on to Botanicula. After that, I'll start a Splinter Cell adventure. Should I play Chaos Theory first, then Conviction? Or Conviction first, then Chaos Theory? I hear they're SUPER different games, so it doesn't really matter, probably...

Since I am a dirty poor and feel guilty about having games I don't play, I think I topped out at maybe $40 spent. I still got like 20 games. I think I'll focus on Witcher 2 for now, but I keep hopping into Syberia II and Wizorb.

Jade Empire is not worth even that. Spend your cash instead on The Chronicles of Master Li and Number Ten Ox (http://www.amazon.com/The-Chronicles-Master-Number-ebook/dp/B005ISOYLK/ref=tmm_kin_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1343079829&sr=1-1-fkmr0).
