Sorry, but you won't fool me and Stearn Guard.
Every time improve protection Steam Guard.

I haven't played Banished but it looks to be an entirely different game to CK2. A lot of the appeal of Paradox strategy games (EU IV, CK2) are the historical aspect of it. The opportunity to start at a certain time in history and alter it as you will.
If that doesn't sound appealing then you might not enjoy CK2.

Either get both or run away from your PC screaming.
Good call. It seems like that option is going to need all the help it can get.

Gonna offer a contrary opinion on Borderlands 2 (or as Turfster and others have been calling it Blands 2, which I feel is a really apt title for it).
The quests are boring and badly designed, the world feels lifeless and is poorly designed, there's too much loot, and the much-lauded writing got tiresome (it was just the same style of joke repeated ad nauseum, which was only moderately funny the first time I heard it).
It got more and more boring as it went on. After 10 hours, I full-on, burning-hot-lava hated it and wished I had never played it.

There should be a "Steam Flash Sale Grouping Retrospective" after the sale is over, 'cuz there have been some very dubious collections.

So conflicted.
I know Why Not Both?, but if I get Far Cry, I can't craft badges for the remaining days.
Do I wake up at 9:30am every morn or do I just craft now and pray?

Won't stop picking the right nation
The main problem, from what I can tell, is that the CK2 collection hasn't been updated since The Republic expansion was released. That was in early 2013.

Enslaved is at such a nice price at $4.99, but still holding out for a daily or flash!

I wish the CK2 DLC had a higher discount.

Sorry to keep spamming this shit, but how is Europa Universalis IV? Like I said, I'm not that into sims or grand strategy, but I've been craving one lately.

Fair enough, I had tons of fun with it on multiple playthroughs, and own it on every console (just bought the PC version a few days ago). I found it great but I get the crticism. It's more fun with friends but I found SP perfectly okay too

I'm on the fence about Alice, the art style looks amazing but from reading reviews it seems the combat gets repetitive, anyone have an opinion on it?
So was I. It's listed under "story rich" in the new vote, which I was mocking.
Nvm lol.

Today's sale made me remember how good that price error on Dishonored GOTY Edition was during the holiday sale.

It doea get a bit repetive but I don't think it takes too much away. For the price, I definitely recommend it if you're looking for fun, long 3rd person action platformer
You guys convinced me, I'm getting both.
Getting Alice from our Russian brethren since it's like half of the US price.
Gonna buy Trine 2 (do I need to know what happened in the first?) and that $0.99 game that everyone is raving about that got compared to God of War. What was the name of it?

From what I hear, the game overstays its welcome. Kinda like Shadow Warrior.
Here we go had these lying around hopefully someone want them.

went for RTS strictly so I can see some new deals.
It's worth it at that price. Some of the levels are pretty awesome looking, and the combat isn't too bad. But it does tend to overstay it's welcome. The game is too long for it's own good.
Hey guys, this isn't really worth a topic but I can't find an answer.
I'm having trouble with the resolution of some games. Not every game, just some games.
The problem is that when I run in 1080p, the game top-left most part of the screen is all I see, and the rest is cut off.
I can usually fix this by running in 720p, but I shouldn't have to do that I would think. PC games run in every resolution available in the game. It's clearly a problem specific to me.
I'm running Windows 8.1 with Start8. I'm running in 1080p on a TV.
Any ideas?

I'm not a huge fan of games that drag on, gonna have to think about, thanks for the info though
It doesn't matter people will vote for the other games just because they are popular.

In that case then yea, probably avoid it. It's fun but it does drag out the last few hours

Agreed!
You might have to adjust your TV settings to match the resolution, try messing with them. For example I have to choose Cinema Zoom 1 for my TV to display my PC correctly, while I have it set to regular 16:9 for my PS3, X1, PS4, ETC.

And for games that cost like 80cents, even though everyone on steam should have those already....

Yeah, I played through the 360 version already and the DLC, loved everything about the game. Been eyeing it since it came to Steam. Ill get it at $4.99 if it doesn't hit a daily or flash, but I'm in no rush. Do want to play it again though, see what the PC version is like.
