Are the Neptunia games just nothing but console war memes and stuff? That's always the impression I got.

Divine Divinity is a Diablo-clone, only more story/quest heavy. It seems to play well enough, but the genre is overloaded so I could never make time for it.
Fantastic soundtrack though.
Divinity 2 is more action-adventure RPG. It's amusing (especially the expansion) but not particularly great. It's very disjointed, with large chunks of the map getting removed as you progress. The combat is also very poor due to crappy mechanics.
Dug up an old review of the 360 version, most of this stuff still applies.

There are memes and references sure, but they're actually really minimal.

Neptunia 2 is also 70% off
Good day for me, got Killer is Dead and Neptunia 2
Still need to finish off Neptunia 1 but gameplay is solid enough and when I'm in the right mood the dialogue is entertaining so interested enough in 2

Chances Marlow Briggs will go on sale? What do you guys think?
No. It is often recommended just to jump straight to Dragon Fall.

If you can get into the game and understand its systems it is one that has almost limitless replayability. The basic premise is that you play as a member of a family dynasty who controls anything from a single province all the way up to an Emperor. You try to continue your dynasty, producing heirs, advancing your agendas/territory/influence, etc. It's pretty awesome. But it's really, really dense and takes alot of time to understand everything. If you get it'd I'd suggest watching tutorial lets plays on youtube at the very least.

Hah, I ask for Dishonored, I get Dishonored.
I don't know why it's not 99 cents right now.
I bought Divine Divinity AND Neptunia.
Steam is killing my funds D:
Sounds like my kind of game...seems any of the hate comes from the excessive DLC...any of it worth getting?
Hi, any gaffer from Brazil here? I would love some help. I'd like to buy Grim Fandango and Killer is Dead before the deals are over and since both games are cheaper there and I can activate them without issues it would be of great help. Of course I can paypal inmedialely. Send me a Pm if anyone can help. Thanks

Thinking about picking up Bioshock Infinite finally. Are the DLCs any good or should I just opt for the base game?
Pancakes
hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
I bought both because I can always refund the 2nd one if the first one is bad.

It should as it was on sale throughout the last sales for $1 oddly enough.
Yeah, it's but only a mere $4, but that would've tipped the scales towards an impulse buy for me, oddly enough (shoulda bought it before leaving for work).
Ah well, perhaps it's all for the best. I'm still waiting on sales for a boatload of games that I really do want.

I have GTA V on my Steam wishlist, and this is what it looks like:
You click "Visit Store Page" though, and you get this:
Screw you, Rockstar.
After the whole "bundle and call it a sale" thing I find it hard to believe this isn't intentionally misleading.
It's also in the "Top Sellers" section of the storefront looking like this:
It's also in the "Games on your Wishlist On Sale Now" section, AND I got a "A game on your wishlist is on sale!" e-mail.
Pretty goddamn shady.

All of the "big" releases are worth it. They tend to add huge swaths and systems to the game. Originally you could only play (roughly) Catholic Europe. They added other faiths and swaths of the old world over time. I'd suggest, at the very least, Sword of Islam, Legacy of Rome, The Old Gods, and Way of Life. You can safely avoid the unit and song packs (though the additional music is nice)

That's a bit disingenuous I feel. It's more of a Baldurs Gate + Diablo game. It's an open world for one, and it generally has more depth than Diablo. Calling it a Diablo clone is selling that game short.
Honestly? No.
DLC in my opinion of usefulness:
The Old Gods (play as pagan ruler, longer time frame)
Legacy of Rome (retinues, byzantine stuff)
The Republic (merchant kingdoms, my fav type)
Sons of Abraham (play as Jewish ruler, stuff for catholics and muslims)
Way of Life (events to give fun when not at war)
Sword of Islam (play as Muslim ruler)
Charlemagne (even longer time frame, story driven events for key characters)
Rajas of India (play as Indian religions, not much here)
Some people love playing as a Muslim or Indian ruler and would move those higher. There is also a Ruler Designer DLC, but pretty much everything in that can be done via console if you don't care about achievements.

What kind of gameplay is it?
Perfect, thanks Durante.
Turn based kinda grindy JRPG.
Don't listen to this Durante guy, Plutia is love, Plutia is death.

Yay, I don't see anything to buy today.
From what little I played of Dead Rising 3, it was alright. I liked being able to craft weapons w/out a workbench.
What put me off was that dynamic shadows would randomly flicker & shadow resolution for distant objects was noticeably poor. If the game let me just turn off all the unsightly shadows altogether I could've managed.
Rather petty reason to stop playing, but if you don't have OCD & enjoyed the DR2 games, it's more of the same fun. I didn't even try unlocking the 30fps cap so if that's a concern might want to research how dodgy it may be for you.

Boob talk and innuendo.
You played the wrong game. Neptunia has those things, but they are by no means the core of the game.

thanks, why is it recommended to skip the first one?
I was responding to a post that questioned and quoted a post on that subject. Quite aware of the gameplay though having played them through on the Vita.
