To be honest I think I've bought everything I could possibly ever need from past sales. But we'll see.

[Heisenberg]

looks like I am taking more piss breaks at work to update and expand my library. Hoping patience paid off for the Skyrim DLC

[Extreme Angle]

there's only a handful of games i'd fancy tbh, but that's what I always say.

[VSG]

That's what you always say, Baird :'(

[Drakul]

Unless there are RTS style games, I wont be interested. Was thinking of buying FFVII but not sure what the controls will be like. That's pretty much the make it or break it factor for me with PC games.

[Boomer]

FFVII on PC was originally done entirely with the Numpad, and was totally decent. Not sure if they added support for other controls.

[VSG]

In the meantime, use code "GOONCAVE" on Amazon for any video game sales for an additional 15% off. I got AOE 2:HD for $3.50.

thx for the update man, phone is weak signal in office and steam is blocked at work. Is that every 10 hours price slashing going on and voting between 3 games to determine the next sale?

damn my wallet to hell this summer

[Boomer]

I would recommend Antichamber to anyone who likes puzzle games. One of my favorite recent games.

[VSG]

Ya, updated info on flash sales (every 8 hours). Voting also going on, very likely to be Dishonored at this rate.

[Heisenberg]

good stuff man, appreciate it. been fiending for the sale to begin real bad. Enjoyed last year's plundering

[VSG]

http://steamdb.info/sales/

Oh god I knew it- here are the "lesser" games on as much as 90% discount, I have spent over 20 bucks already.

[Heisenberg]

skyrim dlc is going to be mine today

[VSG]

I would wait, as I am currently doing so too. A flash deal is not usually their best.

[Heisenberg]

yeah I see some others waiting. I've waited this long. I can stand a few more days

[Kane Knight]

I would wait, as I am currently doing so too. A flash deal is not usually their best.

:y:

[Kane Knight]

Is Ridge Racer: Unbounded any good? At that price I'm kinda tempted. It was supposed to have a lot in common with the Burnout series, IIRC.

[Heisenberg]

I haven't tried Ridge Racer, but if it's anything like Burnout, it'd be worth a try.

I'm waiting for Saints Row The Third: Total Package to hit a flash spot. It is at 50% with a price of 14.99 USD at the moment and felt I should finally play one of those, holding out for 75%.

[Poit]

$1.24 for Dungeons of Dredmor
$4.99 for Avernum: Escape form the Pit

Some pretty good deals right there.

[RoXer]

I would recommend Antichamber to anyone who likes puzzle games. One of my favorite recent games.

It took 6 mins of the quick look for me to say, "Yes, I'm in."

[Heisenberg]

Dishonored was destroyed by Borderlands 2...I was looking forward to trying Dishonored, perhaps another round

[VSG]

Ya, I need the season pass for Borderlands 2 but I will wait for an inevitable 75% off.

[Kane Knight]

$1.24 for Dungeons of Dredmor
$4.99 for Avernum: Escape form the Pit

Some pretty good deals right there.

If I didn't get Avernum from a Humble sale, I'd probably be all over that.

[Immortal Moose]

I little late in the day, but if anyone hasn't gotten Miami Hotline then GET IT!

[Poit]

If I didn't get Avernum from a Humble sale, I'd probably be all over that.

Oh, right, forgot about that.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Now that the season is over Defiance the game is 66% off. Not sure if the game will have a 2nd season or if the game will just update for the next one.

[Drakul]

I little late in the day, but if anyone hasn't gotten Miami Hotline then GET IT!

I was looking at it but decided "Nah, it's probably pretty dull. Standard ultra-violence."

[Kane Knight]

I was looking at it but decided "Nah, it's probably pretty dull. Standard ultra-violence."

You say that like it's a bad thing :shifty:

[Drakul]

It looks like the kind of game were the ultra-violence is all it has. All and any promotion or discussion I've seen about it has been about nothing other than that. No mention of great humour or creative levels or features.

[RoXer]

Good stealth gameplay and amazing soundtrack

[Kane Knight]

It looks like the kind of game were the ultra-violence is all it has. All and any promotion or discussion I've seen about it has been about nothing other than that. No mention of great humour or creative levels or features.

I'm wary of the humour label anyway, because people are quick to label any game like this "ironic" when there's nothing to differentiate such a game from the standard fare.

I have the game from a bundle (I think a Humble Bundle), so I'ma check it out at some point. Not actually losing anything for trying it since I already have it. Hopefully Roxer is correct and it has some positives.

[Kane Knight]

Looking at the Rocksmith DLC list, I wish Steam better organised this shit.

[Drakul]

Bought Universe Sandbox for £2 because it sounded like you could do stuff like see what happens if a comet hit Earth. Turns out NOTHING happens. No sound, either.

[Immortal Moose]

It looks like the kind of game were the ultra-violence is all it has. All and any promotion or discussion I've seen about it has been about nothing other than that. No mention of great humour or creative levels or features.

Agreed.

It has a cooky kind of humor. The levels are based on killing people but you have to kill them strategically. You have to plan each kill one by one so as to not be seen because if you are you almost always die. The game is very challenging once you get past the first few levels and very enjoyable for that. I'd say it's very much a puzzle game.

[Immortal Moose]

[Kane Knight]

Yeah, been meaning to get it for ages. Now I have no excuse.

[VSG]

Sleeping Dogs and Super Meat Boy on sale right now, both are great games.

[Kane Knight]

Magicka is two-fiddy, too.

[Extreme Angle]

Added some of TPWW on steam, what's your id KK?

[Drakul]

Bought Soul Reaver and Another World. Had to agree to some EULA for Soul Reaver and had a funny half ticking noise in my headphones since installing it. Dunno if it's a coincidence or if the EULA installed something other than the game. It would help if the EULA wasn't the length of a tv script, then I could actually read them.

[Extreme Angle]

What's your SteamID, Drakul?

[The Destroyer]

I've still not bought a lot, few smaller titles but limited spending so far.

And for some reason a gift of Civilization IV has appeared in my Steam inventory. No clue where it came from or how it got there, especially as it's a game I already own.

I sort of want Civ Iv but don't know if it's TOO tactical. I imagine it being like 80% Risk and 20% Simcity. Also no idea if Sid Miers Civ and just Civ are the same thing or if there is some subtle difference.

[The Destroyer]

Oh, that explains it.

They're the same thing generally. The only game that isn't really a "true" Civ game is Civilization - Call To Power which wasn't made by Firaxis.

[The Destroyer]

Also I guess this means I have a copy of Civ 4 to give away. Takers?

[Drakul]

Right here. What do I give you for it?

[VSG]

Drakul, who is that in your avatar anyway?

[The Destroyer]

Absolutely nothing, I've got no need for it.

Can't seem to find you on Steam though, since I can't gift it without adding you as a friend first.

[Drakul]

Drakul, who is that in your avatar anyway?

Poison (http://www.videogamegirlsdb.com/Images/Street_Fighter/Poison/Poison_Street_Fighter_X_Tekken__02.jpg) from Street Fighter and Final Fight.

Absolutely nothing, I've got no need for it.

Added The Destroyer.

[The Destroyer]

Yeah that seemed to work. Gifted.

[VSG]

Woohoo just sold my first "trading card" on the marketplace. I can't believe people buy this shit.

[Drakul]

I'm waiting for the summer thing to be over so people can't get the Summer card. Then, someone who NEEDS all the cards will buy it for £1 or something instead of the 25p I'd get for it now.

[Immortal Moose]

I've gotten Borderlands 2, Counter Strike Complete, Bit.Rip Runner 2, FTL, and Fez so far. :D

[Kane Knight]

Woohoo just sold my first "trading card" on the marketplace. I can't believe people buy this shit.

Is there any practical reason to buy them? Or are people just literally buying digital trading cards?

[Immortal Moose]

Is there any practical reason to buy them? Or are people just literally buying digital trading cards?

Nope, no practical reason to buy them. I just trade for mine.

[Kane Knight]

Just curious.

[Poit]

The rate at which you get booster packs increases with your level. So, theoretically, you could buy cards to increase your level, planning to then get more cards in the future to sell.

I seriously doubt how feasible that is, but it's something, I guess.

[Poit]

Overall though, I think the cards are a great idea. They're getting me to try games that have been sitting unplayed in my Steam library for years. And, whenever a card is sold in the community market, 10% of the sale goes to the game developer, so it's another way to support indie developers.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

So the cards are basically what you get for doing the achievments? What if you already did the achievements before cards existed? Do they retro? Or do you have to play it again?

Makes sense.

Most of the ones in my library are ones I've already played. Some quite a bit, like super Meat Boy.

It will probably prod me into a few more games played, since a couple of the listed games are ones I got as part of a bundle and never tried.

Right now, I've been too busy playing Magic to get my cards back after the cloud fucked me and playing with my new Rocksmith tracks.

[Poit]

So the cards are basically what you get for doing the achievments? What if you already did the achievements before cards existed? Do they retro? Or do you have to play it again?

No, they're separate from achievements.

Basically, each game that supports cards has a set of cards, and the number depends on the game (I think it's up to the game developer). 8 is the most common size, but some games like Super Meat Boy and Dungeons of Dredmor have 5, while Brutal Legend has 15. Regardless, when you buy a game, you're granted a number of "card drops" equal to half the size of the card set, rounded up (so, you'd get 3 card drops for Super Meat Boy and 8 for Brutal Legend).

When you play a game, you periodically get a card (I think it's every 20-30 minutes, or something like that), until you're out of card drops. Once you're out of card drops, you become eligible to receive booster packs for that game. Steam will occasionally randomly give out booster packs of cards to people who are eligible, and who have "used Steam" within the past week.

When you have all the cards in a set, you can expend them to craft a badge, which you can display on your Steam profile. This also gets you 100 XP. Each badge can be upgraded by expending the same set of cards again, and doing so will change the name and image of the badge, as well as get you another 100 XP, to a maximum of 500 XP per badge.

What it means to "use Steam", and the drop rate of the booster packs are both unknown right now. However, we do know (because Steam told us) is that every 10 levels you gain, the rate at which you get booster packs increases by 20%.

tl;dr: No, it's based on playtime, but it's also not retroactive.

[VSG]

Sold 3 cards so far, netted a buck. Not too much, but it got me a DLC for free so I am not complaining. I am also only selling duplicate cards I got, so once I get that Summer badge I will sell it later on.

[Drakul]

Bought Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 Platinum but the actual game files refer to it as gold rather than platinum.

[The Destroyer]

Gotten 3 cards from the sale so far, and already I have a duplicate one.

System Shock 2 is the current community choice deal. Meant to be a great game, so could be worth getting at the dirt cheap price it's up for.

[Extreme Angle]

Finally picked up System Shock 2

[Extreme Angle]

think i'm going to stock up on some of the big sales to trade for other stuff in a few weeks using http://www.steamtrades.com/

[ClockShot]

Nothing really jumping out at me and saying "buy me".

Although I've had my eye on that Stardrive game.....

[Boomer]

System Shock 2 is one of the best games I've ever played, and I only got to it a few years ago. I think it has aged fairly well. I enjoyed System Shock 1 as well, but I wouldn't recommend it, as the control scheme is pretty bad (pretty impressive game for 1994 though).

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Nothing really jumping out at me and saying "buy me".

Although I've had my eye on that Stardrive game.....

Looked interesting but way too convoluted. Don't really like games that turn out to be more like work than fun.

[VSG]

Ya, that's usually why I steer clear from pure sandbox games like RPG maker.

[Kane Knight]

Yeah, I have two duplicates already.

[VSG]

Sell your duplicates for ~25 cents each on the marketplace. The way I see it is that it is free money.

Sell your duplicates for ~25 cents each on the marketplace. The way I see it is that it is free money.

Since this thread has already addressed the cards thing so thoroughly, is it possible to trade 'em outside of your friends list?

The stuff I've read seems to imply no, but I find a lot of the Steam literature to be counter-intuitive.

[Drakul]

I've not actually sold any cards because I only have one but, from what I saw, it looked like I could set a price and put it on some kind of eBay for Steam cards.
So I'm guessing you can sell to whoever is buying. Not sure if trading is different but I'd not imagine so.

[Kane Knight]

You can sell and then buy from the marketplace. I was more curious about a direct system, but that'll do.

[Drakul]

Ok. I know nothing about that.

I wonder if I could sell a card for something like £40 and someone will actually buy it. There must be someone who would fall for that, right?

[Kane Knight]

Do iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

[Extreme Angle]

Shiny cards sell for like a buck more...

I collected all of the binding of isaac ones 5 times, crafted the summer badge once, now i'm keeping my spairs. I also bought McPixel for like 80p, played it and got all its cards "9" then sold them for like 17p each, profit!

[Kane Knight]

Oh dear Lord, there's shinies?

[Poit]

Since this thread has already addressed the cards thing so thoroughly, is it possible to trade 'em outside of your friends list?

The stuff I've read seems to imply no, but I find a lot of the Steam literature to be counter-intuitive.

I believe you can only trade within your friends list, but you can of course add someone temporarily just for the purposes of trading.

You can buy & sell on the Steam marketplace with anyone. However, keep in mind that when you sell something, you only get 85% of the sale price. 10% goes to the game developer and 5% goes to Steam.

Maybe we should have a thread for trading Steam cards?

[Poit]

Oh dear Lord, there's shinies?

Yep. Whenever you get a card (whether from playing a game or opening a booster pack), there's a chance to get a foil card. I don't know what the rate of foil cards is, but I can tell you that of the 72 cards my boyfriend & I have gotten, 2 are foil cards.

I don't know if foil cards have the same drop rate for playing and for booster packs. Also, 28 of our 72 cards are Summer Getaway cards, and none are foil. It's possible that they may have a different drop rate, since they're a limited-time thing.

[Kane Knight]

Maybe we should have a thread for trading Steam cards?


Would make sense.

I think only 1 but I've never gotten a foil badge.

System Shock 2 should be an insta-buy for anyone at $2.50, especially if you want to see where Bioshock came out of.

[Extreme Angle]

foil are purely collectible. No badge craft benefits.

Don't you at least get the 100 XP?

No. :p

Insightful input, KK. :)

I'm honestly not a huge Bioshock fan myself, but I still enjoyed seeing them take the best ideas from SS2 and evolve on them. And I really enjoy hearing Ken Levine talk about the evolution of his games:

Treat it as a normal badge, so you'd get the 100xp for crafting...

[Boomer]

I just bought all the cards I was missing, made the stupid badge, and sold the rest of my cards for minimal profit. Probably only made a couple of dollars selling cards, since most everything is moving for around 15 cents.

Not sure what insight there is to add to the "buy it" "no" discourse.

I suppose I could write it in haiku or something.

Would you like me to write it in haiku?

[Boomer]

No, I'd just prefer you didn't say anything at all if you didn't care, but that's not your style, so whatever.

[VSG]

Forgot to update for yesterday but it was complete shit of a sale day anyway. Oh well, apparently Dead Island Riptide is going to be the featured daily deal today.

[ClockShot]

Found it odd yesterday when I went to Toys R Us to check out their big clearance sale (lackluster btw), they don't carry Steam pre-paid cards.

[Kane Knight]

No, I'd just prefer you didn't say anything at all if you didn't care, but that's not your style, so whatever.

What you mean is I do care, just not in the sense that works in the favour of your statement. That's more the reason you'd rather I not say anything.

See? I got your back!

You can have an opinion all you like, and that's fine. I'd just prefer you give reasoning, but if all you want to say is no, I can't stop you. I post here to talk to people, and I'd prefer to know why someone disagrees with me. I don't come here to have someone twist my words around to their liking.

And honestly, you may not have a reason. I can't really tell why you would just say no because the comment is just useless. At least I give a reason for why I like something, as opposed to you disagreeing for some reason which I can't gather.

Like I'm seriously going to cry if you don't like and buy SS2 or Bioshock, KK. Oh god, my pitiful life is over, someone doesn't like a game I like! I've never had that happen before.

[Boomer]

I also bought Sleeping Dogs yesterday. Mark of the Ninja is definitely worth it's price (one of the better stealth games I've played). Gonna wait on DmC.

[VSG]

I am either running out of games to buy or Steam is seriously just repeating their sales now.

[Heisenberg]

I was thinking that yesterday, perhaps I blew my load last summer, and I'm just reliving the same sales.

Thank you for another update as well, Steam is blocked at work here

[VSG]

No problem man, I am the boss of my own time here so it is the least I can do.

[Kane Knight]

I also bought Sleeping Dogs yesterday. Mark of the Ninja is definitely worth it's price (one of the better stealth games I've played). Gonna wait on DmC.

I'd have snapped up SD if I didn't already have it for both my consoles (Bought it for 360 and got it free for +).

I'd be tempted to get it plus the DLC pack, but there's a lot of crap I don't want in there, the collection is comparably expensive relative to similar content, and there are points in the game I might pull a Fangerl* if I'm asked to repeat. It's a damn fine game, though, with plenty of potential that leaves me hoping they make a sequel that's bigger and better (and less busywork).

Been waffling on MotN. Stealth games aren't normally my thing. I don't hate them, but I don't go out of my way for them, either. Still, this game has gotten enough high marks that 4 bucks seems a veritable steal. Still, I'm a cheapass. Still....

*Which either means whine like an impotent bitch or break something, I'm not sure which.

They routinely repeat their sales. Which is mostly fine by me.

I watched some Quick Looks of the DLC around when they all got released, and decided to pass this time around. I'm not big on adding small handfuls of missions to open-world games and spin-off universes don't work for me most of the time. I never tried Undead Nightmare, even though it got really well reviewed, just because I don't care much for that kind of camp.


And yeah, I had similar trepidations about MotN. I'm not gonna call it the best stealth game ever (and honestly, I tend to dislike a lot of stealth games...Dishonored), but it's worth it for that amount IMO. Going from Shank to that was an impressive jump for that company.

[Boomer]

Kinda want to buy Gunpoint for six bucks, but it'll probably show up in a Humble sale at some point. I tend to get a lot of duplicate copies of games that way.

I bought North Point because a few people I know were big fans and said the shlock was done well. However, it's kind of an exception to the rule thing, rather than my standard practice. I still haven't played it, because I got distracted by other stuff. Hell, I beat it only like two weeks ago. Turns out I was one mission from the end (granted, a long one) and didn't know it (though I suspected I was getting close).

It's still a good game, mind. Just, I suffer from ADLAS (Attention Deficit...Look, A Squirrel!) when it comes to games.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Just got the GTA Collection.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Anybody fancy trading games with me?

I've got a Tomb Raider gift, looking for Fez and Super meat boy...

[El Fangel]

Audiosurf, Baldurs Gate EE, Arkham City, Bully SE, Doom 3, Fear 1, Fear EP, Fear PM, Fable TLC, Fallout NV, Farcry 1 and 2, GTA VC, Half Life 1 and 2, Organ Trail, Qube, Serious Sam 2nd Encounter,

There are my purchases as well as $40 in gifts.

[VSG]

I finally know someone on Steam who did not have Half Life till now. Here's a tip- get Black Mesa Source for free from the creator's website and play it instead of Half Life 1.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

5 bucks for Fall out Game of the Year Version for 3 and New Vegas. Maybe...

[Kane Knight]

Hey EA, you want Saints Row: The Third, right? It's currently 5 bucks for the base game and seven-fiddy for the complete set. Don't know what they are in limey funny money, but I imagine the percentage off is the same.

[VSG]

New flash deals are actually something new- Transformers Fall of Cybertron and the very recently released Mortal Kombat Komplete.

[Poit]

Also, FF7 as a flash sale.

[The Destroyer]

Nice to see them putting EVE Online on sale as well, even though it's a massively time draining MMO.

I caved in and got Prison Architect, seems like it could be a quite a cool game, even though it's only in Alpha just now.

[VSG]

Encore sale going on now.

[Heisenberg]

I bought Dishonored, going to give it a chance. I was told that I don't have to stealth all the time, so I'm going my route of hopefully getting to kill enemies on my terms.

[ClockShot]

Ended up getting Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 platinum out of this.

Mindless fun, indeed.

[DaveBrawl]

Ended up getting CS:GO because some guys at work asked me to so we can play at work and Torchlight 2 because I loved the first one. Never had even looked at Steam before this.

[DaveBrawl]

Forgot how much I loved Counterstrike. I'm not that good at it, but it's so much fun. Best way to spend your lunch hour.

[El Fangel]

31 new games. Egads.

[El Fangel]

Alright, what did everyone get?

[Heisenberg]

well, I didn't post all my purchases, but I got a fresh XBOX 360 Wired Controller made by PDP so I can play some controller tailored games. I can M/K with the best of them, but those games with the shift/ctrl buttons for running are getting a lil' odd to function with.

[Heisenberg]

http://www.meijer.com/assets/product_images/styles/xlarge/1000947_708056536022_A_400.jpg

I have 2 other controllers by Logitech and Steel Series, but Batman: Arkham City was not kind to them

Oh jeez. Nevee considered that.

[Heisenberg]

I'm trying to get back into L.A. Noire, and I first experienced investigating bodies on the 360, much more relative, got all the DLC for it.

Tomb Raider is crawling up there in the queue.

Stopped playing Diablo 3, I love to kill demons and shit, but nothing great dropped stat wise for me.

[VSG]

I spent about $170

[El Fangel]

Ill post the list I got later.

[Kane Knight]

I have 2 other controllers by Logitech and Steel Series, but Batman: Arkham City was not kind to them

I have three Afterglow controllers I've used for my PC and 360 for a couple years now. I only really needed two, but I replaced one I thought was lost and wasn't, so now I have three. No big. I love these controllers, though. The back and start could be better done, though.

[Heisenberg]

I'm enjoying the controller, but I've spent more time tonight configuring it to Batman: Arkham City than actual gameplay.

It was a mix of deleting all the emulator files from when I was using a Logitech game controller with the x360ce program that it needed to mirror an Xbox360 controller and reconfiguring some other files.

[Kane Knight]

It's more the former, right? I thought the Batman games had native 360 support.

[Heisenberg]

yeah. I cleaned the emulator files out and changed tge button layouts back to default. Controller and Steam are now a functional team

[El Fangel]

Been playing Borderlands 2 a lot. Love it.

[VSG]

Turns out I already own the latest game + DLC even though I had no idea this game existed. My massive and <s>not anymore</s> entertaining backlog :'(

Did you pick it up in a Humble Bundle? I forgot I had it too.

[VSG]

Yup, searched for it in my steam account and that's where I got it from.

[road doggy dogg]

I've only ever really played the first two (lots and lots of multiplayer in 1), anxious to play Guerilla (heard Armageddon is shit)

I never bother getting old games for multiplayer because I don't have many gamer friends in real life :'(

most of mine won't bother with anything not Call of Duty. Or won't bother for more than 10 minutes. Oddly enough, a couple of them just decided to get GTA V and I know they'll play it for like ten minutes and then be back in Blops 2 waiting for ghosts.

So they're gamers in the sense that any frat boy or dudebro is, but that's about it.

Good luck with that.

[The Destroyer]

I think it's possible, given my laptop doesn't seem capable of handling any game made within about the last 10 years without glowing red hot.

It doesn't seem that likely though, does it? :(

[Heisenberg]

I have $100 Steam Bucks from Father's Day to begin. I have a few games to buy and stash

[VSG]

This year I hope to buy absolutely nothing.

Lol every single time.. See Page 1 for your same prediction last year and then let us know how it went.

Get a better laptop or build your own PC, that's not an excuse. Heck I will help you out in the building part if you want.

Amnesia (the original is on a bigger sale) is great if you are up for a good thriller. I got Plague but it is an early access game (as in alpha/beta). Walking Dead is a personal thing, I like it but know many who don't.

[Heisenberg]

Bought:

State of Decay

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon(waiting on cheaper FC3original since I've beaten it already)

Call of Juarez Gunslinger

Well if one already has most of the games on sale, the sale doesn't seem as good anymore :D

[Heisenberg]

I've been stocking up on horror and mystery games, been a good sale so far.

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is looking to get the biggest rub for actual completion first

[Polybius]

Unsure if I want to get New Vegas and Darksiders 2 year. I did grab Torchlight 2 and Brothers though..... I really need to go ahead and start hooking my desktop up to my tv. My desk isn't that comfy.

[Heisenberg]

Have you experienced the power of New Vegas yet??? If not, definitely pick it up.

[Polybius]

Not directly, I've always wanted to try the Fallout Series but wasn't able to pick up the earlier games in the series. Should I just rock out to Vegas or work my way up to it?

[DaveBrawl]

Starting at Vegas would be fine, aside from some slight mentions in 2, and maybe New Vegas (think I read this, haven't made it far enough in the game to personally find out), they mention the main character being related to the hero from Fallout 1, but that's about it.

I started at 3 and have yet to play 1 and 2/Tactics. Vegas and 3 don't really branch in story so either one is fine. I love both of them equally

Torchlight 2 is the goods, I bought it on sale for I think $15 a year or so ago and felt it was good value. $5 is a steal.

Fallout 1 and 2 are totally different games than 3/NV. Like same setting/vibe to it all, but they're more turn-based than open-world Skyrim mode ish.

NV is awesome, esp for that price. 3 is still my fav of them all, but if you jump right into NV you will be fine

Nothing good on sale so far. Either stuff that's a hundred years old or some lame "indie" games.

[VSG]

Ironic, coming from you.

Went and bought Trine 2. Going to play it with the girlfriend with the online coop mode. Looks like a really good game and only cost $1.99 a pop, well $3.99 for a 3 pack which I bought. Was in the fresh sales section.

[Ruien]

Banished looks really good. May pick it up tomorrow but will debate on it while I am at work tomorrow.

Square Enix titles are on the daily deal sale by proxy of FF a realm reborn. So if anyone wants FF3, FF7 or FF8 or other Square Enix Eidos titles then you've got 8 hours by the time of this posting.

I don't think I'm going to get anything unless I really want it and it's at a damn good price otherwise I'll wait until the Christmas sale to pick up everything I passed on.

Holy piss, Outlast is some good shit. I played through Gone Home where you don't worry bout shit to Outlast, where you'll be working yourself into a heart attack and/or poop in your pants.

I'm going to enjoy this game
