I was about to get DMC3 SE but looking at user review it seems the port is poor.

Anyways someone tell me if Dust: Elysian tale and The Fall is any good.

Now that I think about it, DmC2013 was cheaper on GmG a few weeks ago (after their 20% coupon). Sorta regretting not going for it now. :/

It has some mods to repair the main issues, but it doesnhave some problems that only occur on certain hardware configurations. Worked perfectly fine for me, but your mileage may vary.
 
What the fuck is wrong with my DMC franchise page?!!

What time is it?
Still without my first purchase. I think my Steam library has hit its' saturation point. I will pickup the Doom Classic Pack if it doesn't get any additional discounts though.

What? That animation handled by one guy who post here occasional? That mighty impressive. The sale price right now looks to be a steal.

yup you can read about it on many places (wikipedia source) he also has been working on an animated movie.

He was announced as working on animation with Defenders Quest 2 but recently they removed him from their website so it doesn't seem like he is working on that anymore (though nothing has been said anywhere so I haven't a clue what happened there)

while it was revealed that he had at one point planned for the story of Dust to last a lot longer (he had someone else that he bounced story ideas off of and they told him that he couldn't do it it would take to long) he eventually redesigned it to what it is and it's a good play from start to finish. Fun combat, plenty of things to find, and a good length.
 
Y'know, it's sort of surprising that Valve doesn't have an automatic flag for bundles that cost more than their contents, like they do for negative-priced games.

I'm pretty sure GOG has a "here's what you save" summary at the bottom with their bundles. Throwing that in with a flag any time you save negative dollars would make sense.

Still with regular, daily, flash, and monster sales whizzing around on their own times it's not surprising something gets missed. Just wonder how long it'll take to get corrected.

How is this guy literally jumping multiple levels at a time in the monster game? I know they're using scripts or whatever but still, I've seen them jump 10 levels in less than 2 seconds.

I'm torn, who wants to help me? Divinity OS or Pillars of Eternity?

I wanted both but I realized I won't have the time to sink into each for now.
Tough decision.

I'd go with Divinity. I loved Pillars so much that I was probably in the first 5% of people to beat it, but it doesn't shine quite as bright as it originally did in retrospect. On the other hand, Divinity does hold up and is getting a huge free enhanced edition update this fall/winter.

You should know that Divinity OS will be getting a free update some time this year that significantly overhauls the game, including the story. I would hold off on playing it until then.

I loved Divinity, put ~80 hours in to finish it within a couple weeks. Combat was just very satisfying and while it didn't have great story content, I still enjoyed the general dialog, world, characters and such.

Main two problems with it were the inventory management taking up so much of my time, and that the end game lost all of it's suspense as my party had become an invincible killing machine. That can tend to happen in long RPGs though, and I think they nerfed some of the things I was doing. Will probably give it another run when the definitive comes out, the upgrades there + the post-launch ones look pretty substantial.

I bought PoE on launch mostly because of how much I enjoyed Shadowrun and Divinity, but I didn't happen to get into CRPGs during their heyday and the gameplay style ended up never clicking with me. Was still enjoying my time with the game and the writing, but it didn't hook me and it slipped off my radar before I got too far into it.

Of course you may well like that style in which case it definitely felt high quality. Divinity for me though.
 
It really depends on what you are looking for.
Divinity has a much better combat, while pillars has a better writing and role playing options.

Also, divinity's combat shines brighter than pillar's writing, but on the other hand, pillar's combat is better than divinity's writing. So if you want to go for the best overall experience, pillars is the choice for you. If you are looking for a game that excels in one area but neglects others, go for divinit.

Divinity will get a free update in a few months which is supposed to improve it, so you may want to wait with it

You buy both anyway.
It's the only option.
They are some of the best CRPGs released in years.

Or you could get PoE now, since Divinity will receive a significant upgrade which will not be savegame-compatible later this year.

I think I'm going to cave in on the Valve Complete Pack. I don't think it'll get any cheaper than it is now. And seeing how all Valve games that got a Flash or Daily this summer (CS:GO, Portal 2, Left 4 Dead 2) got the exact same pricing as at the beginning of the sale, I don't think waiting will make sense. And besides, I need my Counter-Strike fix.
