How did you find out it was on a deeper temporary discount? It was just luck for me. It makes me wonder what else is on a deeper temporary discount.

Yes to all of that. Both gameplay and narrative. Recc if you're a fan of peripheral story stuff outside of cutscenes like NPC conversations or newspaper clippings recounting all your previous missions and other details of the world and an audio diary series that reveals a big thing about one of the characters. Blazko is one of the best FPS protagonists in a while, also loads of great women warriors that are deeper than "strong female hero". Loads of little touches and details. Two timelines with different characters and cutscenes and collectibles, that all transfer between each playthrough. Infinite Ammo and extra modes are too legit.
Better than Half Life 2.
I have no clue about that specific game you're talking about but a good rule of thumb for these things is if something is on a daily etc to check games made by the same developer or in the same franchise or whatever
then you check the sale expiration date on the games themselves and see if it says 24 hours or whatever
for example there's a ton of might & magic games that are dailies right now that aren't featured
Might and Magic X is 75% off for the next 24 hours it seems - http://store.steampowered.com/app/238750
Think I'm going to have to grab this. I've never played a Might and Magic game, but this looks beautiful.
This is one incredible ass game, everyone should buy it.
Best deal of the sale, I can already say that with confidence.

We could use one, I'm not liking at all the daily offerings... We need a GAF discovery sale or something.
I see the featured daily deals have "Check out recommendations for you" splitting them in half. For those lazy browsing in laptops that are 768p that means you only get to see one half and are forced to scroll down to see the rest...

I'd really like to learn more about the hidden gems out there. The monthly Steam thread is way too nutty for me to get through.

I have really been missing Amazon for deals this year, it is only going to get worse this Christmas.
Can anyone comepare MMX with Legend of Grimrock 2? I could be persuaded on MMX at 75% off but I've really been wanting Grimrock 2 on sale to get my Grid-Party RPG fix.
The game is fun but still pretty buggy (of the game stopping/get used to frequently reloading your save sort) last I checked, maybe better to hold out for as long as you can.
Yeah its been shite ever since Tony got promoted
That sounds horrendous! Okay, I will wait then. But it's still pretty tempting since what I've seen of it in LP videos looked like a really solid game.
I haven't played Grimrock 2, but M&MX is pretty fundamentally different from Grimrock 1. The most important difference is that M&M is entirely turn-based, so the battles never turn into keyboard dancing exercises. It's also more exploration (there are multiple towns, a relatively large overworld, and many dungeons) and combat focused, and less focused on puzzles.
Anyway, M&M X is really good, and absolutely worth it at this price if you have even a passing interest.

Spintires, what a strangely cool game. Has some real issues (camera, UI) but it does some things so well and uniquely it's easy to overlook.

None of the Final Fantasy games on Steam are on sale. Goddammit.

It's not bad. Depending on the weapon you can stagger enemies more quickly (one hit vs 2 or 3 with small weapons such as daggers, but of course those smaller weapons are faster and can do quick succession of hits). Not quite as satisfying as Souls games but the combat is solid.
Durante covered the differences pretty well. But it's definitely worth it, having played both this year (and loving both) I'd give the edge to M&MX.

M&MX seems cool so far but holy cow are the graphics bad, I'm really surprised from a pretty modern title.

You won't regret, it's fucking awesome. I cleared it on Insane on my first run. God, I was crazy.

newegg has the final fantasy power pack (5 games) for $35. use the coupon BFDGAME15 to knock that down to $30. I believe they are all steam redeemable. Not sure tho.
You can also buy the games individually for like 6-8$. Just look them up.
It's not that bad. You have to consider that it's a rather huge game made on a tiny budget.

It's not that bad in those screens, and good to see there is environment variety. That was just my first impressions of the opening area, it really reminded me of something that would come out 10 years ago or so around Morrowind's time.
Wondering this as well.
Ya I've been wanting to buy it for a while now but have been really stingy with my money. I actually feel guilty waiting so long and spending only $4 on it now. Is it still fun on the hardest difficulty or does it become a chore?
You get Might & Magic VI which is a 100 hour amazing RPG, if you haven't played it that's one hell of a bonus.
As for the DLC you get, the dream shard dungeon is pretty small, an hour tops. The Falcon & the Unicorn DLC is a good 5 hours or so.
I have the same specs as you, but with the 4gb 670. I wasn't too happy with the performance of Wolfenstein considering how it looked. Turned down quite a few settings, but never managed to get a solid 60 fps. My framerate was all over the place, and would really tank in the "hub" area of the game. It wasn't bad enough to deter me from playing the game, but it was frustrating.
Yes, it has had 16 patches to date and the last few really fixed up most of the issues. Still a few remain but it's mostly due to the engine more than anything.

Hm Lords of Shadow 2 worth £5? I imagine most is right guys?
Dishonored is a masterpiece. If you care, go look for config edits which'll help improve the graphics quite a bit and lower the brightness to 13 notches. Sounds weird, but it looks way better and less washed out that way.
Enjoy it!

IMO yay.

I think it's easily worth that. The open world city part is pretty bad, but the actual missions are enjoyable and mostly well made.
Nay.
