I bought the following mostly on an impulse:

The Talos Principle
Sunless sea
Aaruu's Awakening
To the moon
Hands of Fate

How did I do and are there any other must buys?

good, good, not bad, worst fucking rage-inducing non-game ... just AHHH don't get me started, and depends if you mean "hand of fate" (that card game) or "manos the hands of fate" or "heileen 2: hands of fate."

Lol hands of fate the card game.

Also you only commented on 4/5 of the games. To the moon? No opinion on it?
 
I already unsubscribed before the second bundle and was happy 'bout my decision. I really don't think they'll be getting better bundles as the time goes on.
 
I'd usually cross-post something like this to the Steam thread, and since this is more or less the Steam thread right now...
I fixed the DoF for LIghtning Returns, and also added AO.

DoF before/after:

(it was worse in motion)

AO comparison.
 
People didn't like Legend? I liked it...I thought Underworld was the worst of the three but maybe it was just because I ran into performance issues.

I liked it too, but it was definitely the weakest out of the trilogy. It was shorter than the other games and had a greater focus on shooting and driving sections.

Giving away the TR LAU trilogy since I already have them all.
 
I literally just finished The Beginner's Guide and I don't really know what to say. I feel emotionally exhausted. I feel sadness. I feel like I wanna create something. I feel alone and at the same time I feel blessed. I feel anger, I feel happiness. And I'm not ashamed to say that I cried a few times. I'm kind of relieved and sad that it's over at the same time. This has to be my favorite gaming experience this year. My GOTY list will undergo some changes, of that I'm sure. I might even put this in the Top 3, it was that good. I'm sorry for this jumbled mess of a post, but yeah I really don't know what to say.

What were your experiences with this game?
 
So far have managed to get the following out of the sale:

Her Story
Undertale
Sir, You are Being Hunted
Hitman Collection (still cant believe I haven't played a single one!)
Mount and Blade: Warband

Fine additions to your back log.

I picked up Men of War: Assault Squad 2 (excellent thus far), 12 is Better Than 6 (meh), Sunless Sea (writing is neat but the actual game isn't that fun) and AssCreed: Rogue (yet to launch).

I was close on Call to Arms, but they've only got MP working right now, and I just don't have the time figure out how not to lose horribly every time.
 
Messing with Big Picture Mode and the Steam Controller config on Ori and the Blind Forest (the only game I've bought so far), I've noticed a funny thing.

GPU load while playing the game: 22-29%
GPU load after minimize the game, appearing the snowy BPM screensaver on the background: 99% (even when it's covered by other windows)

In a GTX 980ti. Fuck Crysis. Can your PC run Big Picture Mode background?
 
i feel like maybe developers should just not talk about those things?

like it's ok if you think that and i don't even think it's particularly bad if you lock your game at 30 fps, just don't comment on it

valve needs to completely redo the steam client. bpm is just an awful, sluggish version of steamos
 
Not sure I'm done with the sale but here's my haul.

Pillars of Eternity
Kingdom
Shadow of mordor
Hotline Miami 2
Sunless sea
Besiege
Undertale

Thinking of picking up a few more under $10 games.

Could I also get an inv to the gaf group on steam?

Thanks!
 
Just got a message that some wishlisted games are on sale, are they adding things to the sale as time goes on? I guess I shouldn't be surprised if so, since Ubisoft can choose to flip sale prices on and off whenever.

Agreed. While I don't think it should be a huge deal (especially for devs who apparently haven't made much of note?) to say they don't care about it, there's always an article and backlash so it's best if they just keep that to themselves. Unless they're looking for the "free publicity" in which case have at it.
