those two are way better than hotline miami 2
Divinity OS. I imagine turn based will gel better with newcomers over real time with pause.
And the combat is fantastic.
Well, I used to be like that too, bought tons of games every sale, etc. Another part of my issue aside from gifting is the currency changes made on Steam. It's great for some games, not great for others but it bothers me that little by little publishers are charging more or using it as an excuse to charge retail prices, considering my local currency is weak against the dollar and any variance is great for them to hike prices, but of course they never reduce them once the exchange rates normalize.
I know there are other storefronts and options, but it's more of the same shit that keeps me from enjoying using Steam for the sales.
So, bad discounts, worse prices and region locking. Yea, sorry if I'm not enjoying Steam as much as I used to.
Do you want more story-dialog-characters (Pillars) or mechanics (Divinity)?
For Shadowrun get Dragonfall, it's great.

Crusader Kings 2's Horse Lords DLC isn't on sale, but the mini DLC released alongside it is.
This sale just keeps getting worse.

Definitely. It's one of those games that sends you into a trance, like Hotline Miami, except with metal.

Not to mention 72 hour trade delays.

Which Shadowrun? If you tried Returns then you should really try Shadowrun Dragonfall as it's a much much better and more engaging game.
In general though, I'd try OS EE, more fun, doesn't take itself as seriously as PoE and has insane and cool combat environmental interaction (throw some oil under mobs, fire off a fireball, ignite the oil, throw poison cloud, blow up even more, call rain, create steam, throw lightning to create lightning cloud).

Well I am typically drawn to games with interesting lore/atmosphere. At the same time, I worry about being overwhelmed with walls of text in a game like PoE. How much dialog is voice acted in these two games comparatively?
I don't mind reading, but there's a limit.
Another note is that I am typically big into loot games like Diablo. Which game has the better loot system?
Both are really, really good RPGs, and offer multiple difficulty levels for you to choose. Divinity is friendlier to beginners, imo. Both are way, way better than Shadowrun.
Well Pillars certainly has more lore and atmosphere, only a bit is voiced though. I think Divinity Enhanced Edition is fully voiced now.
Divinity's story is much more lighthearted and the setting never really made too much sense to me personally. It is probably easier to get into coming into the genre.
When you're a monopoly, you don't really have to do much. :\
Is FF7 the cheapest it's been on Steam? Same goes for GTA4

Prior to this sale, I had ~200 games marked in my queue, and during the sale, I felt 1/3 of the games it was showing me were looking to my games library as reference.
To my surprise, I found maybe 5 or 6 games I haven't heard of that caught my eye and wishlisted them. Got many more BETTER recommendations from this thread though, so GAF > Steam Queue confirmed.
I'm going over what I will actually play and my budget tonight before I pull the trigger and buy the games en masse.

That's all she wrote, chum.
Yes. I paid for it day one of Early Access and think it's worth the cash. My only complaint is Tripwire's slow trickle of content updates for it. "EARLY ACCESS DONE RIGHT!" my ass. DiRT Rally stomped all over their ass on that tagline.

Yes. No flash/dailies anymore.
If it's on a discount, it's final.
Though I'd wager we'll see some non-discounted game pop up. In the last sale, for instance, Ubisoft didn't have Asscreed games on sale at first, but they popped up for a few days. So I'd bet on a few high profile titles doing the same, especially of Ubisoft's ilk, like Asscreed Rogue, The Crew, Far Cry 4.

Not even tomorrow.
They finally stopped repeating flash sales and then got rid of them. I want them back along with dailies. Hopefully Valve reconsiders.

few questions about wasteland 2:
is the game hard? for reference I find divinity original sin to be extremely hard, like i have no idea what I'm doing wrong in that game but everything just fucking eats me in that game.
how are the side quests and main story, are they good?
easter eggs and shit like fallout?
and lastly, can I buy it over at nuuvem?

It's getting more DLC content, so the season pass won't be cheaper.

It's pretty hard, especially earlier in the game when you can barely hit anything with your guns. Squad composition is also very important, you'll want to spread important skills throughout your squad members. The more you progress, the more easier the game though so don't worry too much about difficulty. Quests are pretty good, and you get to choose important decisions throughout the game.

The Enhanced Edition (free to all owners of Dying Light) is due to be released on February 9th, so yep, unless you need it right now, probably not a bad idea to hold off until then to play it anyway. It obviously may not pop up between now and then at this price, though.
That sounds insanely stupid.

Insane pricing ahoy.
Avernum 2 is CDN$10.99. (i.e. half off the original price)
The Spiderweb Software Bundle (containing every Spiderweb game including Avernum 2) is...
CDN$9.99.

Elliot Quest is pretty darn good if you're a fan of that kind of game. Well worth the $5.
I'd go with Pillars. Divinity is a fair bit more difficult, less straightforward, and it's overwhelmingly likely that you'll end up completely lost (or at least, unaware of how to progress) at several points in the game, either by design or through the game's easily breakable story progression. Seriously, it's much harder to play through the game's story as intended than not. Hitting those roadblocks might be the exact opposite of what you're looking for.
I think I'd venture to say that Divinity is a more fun game, but Pillars is a much easier recommendation for someone who identifies as new to the genre. It basically takes all the elements that people say make old CRPGs hard to get into and files off the rough edges and/or updates them to be more immediately digestible. It's a game that pretty much anyone can get into, whereas Divinity is a bit more of a genre vet's playground.
I think everyone who owns the game gets the enhanced edition upgrade for free.

The Bloodrayne games are 99c apiece, so I downloaded the demo of 2 to see if it was a decent PC port. Went into the controller settings menu to map the buttons, but it doesn't register a 360 controller's triggers and it won't let you out of the menu if you have any actions double-mapped, so I had to quit with the Task Manager.
Started it up again, decided to play with the default settings, find out it doesn't support the right analogue stick and instead uses the triggers to move the camera left and right. The menu has an option for 'Configure controller axes', and choosing that freezes the .exe so hard that I can't even Alt-Tab out of it and I have to restart my PC.
Yeah, I'm going to say this one isn't a great PC port. I'm sure it could be made workable with Joy to Key, but my backlog doesn't need this.
