I'm sure I'm LTTP, but here's Double Fine complete at $15 or less if you own games: http://store.steampowered.com/bundle/957/
How is the single player campaign in Rainbow Six 3?
Worth getting the game just for that?
I want to say it's the best in the series. Of course RS Vegas was awesome but for old school Rainbow Six the third one is the one.
Granted, I haven't played it since forever.

Here are the games I'm thinking of getting. Seem like a good set?
KERBAL is supposed to be awesome, but I'm afraid I won't have the patience to really get to where it clicks.
Firewatch also seems pretty divisive. Worth it?

pm sent re Ori !
For Chroma Squad, you might be interested in the BundleStars Nemesis bundle. For just slightly more you can get Lovely Planet Arcade, SanctuaryRPG, THOTH, Broken Sword Trilogy, Hue, and a bunch of other games.

You might even be able to use the WINTERSALE10 code on it.
Oh, definitely so! All of those are pretty awesome.

Might not be something to get for a campaign, in that there probably isn't much of a story and cutscenes and such, it's more like a puzzle game in a sense.XD I had a blast just lonewolfing in terrorist hunt mode.

Thumper is incredible. I'll be picking up Abzu and Firewatch myself over Christmas too. Good list!

Well I may regret it difficulty wise but I finally picked up Darkest Dungeon...the news of the shorter mode coming helped my decision,game will be just as hard but less grindy,not sure how they will achieve this but sounds interesting...also beta controller support,although I read the scheme is pretty bad on consoles...

Bundles (from HB, IG and others, not steam) and no dailies killed steam sales for me. I have thousands games in my backlog already and discounts are not looking hot either, even with my regional pricing. And I can't buy indie games anymore if they priced more than 2$, because i always thought "hey, it can appear in some next Humble Bundle, no need to buy it now".

This is by far the best tactical shooter ever made. Buy it with your eyes closed. I still have my original PC release with box and keys. AMAZING game. If you can stand the graphics, Rogue Spear and the original Rainbow Six are also great.

I played both on a fairly old laptop and JC2 ran better.

Just Cause 2 will run better I think, the engine is better than Sleeping dogs engine.
Just Cause 2.
Finally got to a place with Wifi, so I am looking at the Steam Store now. How is Rome Total War II nowadays? I saw the Total War 2014 bundle, and I am flirting about buying it, since I only have Empire and Shogun 2 (no expansions). On that note, how is the expansion for Fall of the Samurai? I still have barely touch this franchise since OG Rome.
P.S. Is The Old Republic and FFXIV unable to save progress already downloaded via the patcher? I live in a foreign country, and it takes a *loooooong* time to download anything. As such, I cannot keep a consistent internet connection for large files like TOR/FFXIV.

Its fucking ridiculous is what it is. I dont understand why companies love to fuck over people that buy their game earlier.
You have a set of objectives that you are kind of free to do how you want, you control several team mates either directly or give them orders, and before every mission you can plan the mission on a map. It is still a shooter but you are free to execute the plan as flawlessy as you can or just "quake" it.
As I said, it's been years since I played so I might have little too nostalgic/fond memory of it but I still think you should give it a try if you haven't played any of them before.
I would say it's similar do games like Ghost Recon or even Hitman.

Junior, please.
I really didn't like it.
The character designs bothered me, they tried way too hard to be cute and it just ends up being creepy. If you're into that sort of thing then by all accounts there's an enjoyable game underneath... just do yourself a favour and look at plenty of screenshots beforehand, make sure you're comfortable with that art style. I felt like I was looking at Sonic fan art.

Well, PoE is a much better game, so if it's strictly a matter of time I'd recommend that, but Grim Dawn is an excellent little ARPG and certainly worth $13.

Anyone know how to make it so my browser stops signing me out of Steam? I mean....3 minutes and zero page changes and signs out.
The fact that PoE is free, and has so many constant and big updates is crazy. They must make a ton of MTX though. I will buy some stuff from PoE this week as I have 4000 hours and only spent about 30 dollars on stash tabs. They deserve more money.

This reminds me, I plan to play through PoE for the first time soon. Are the DLCs worth picking up?

don't forget to vote as well as run the discovery queue twice to get trading cards.

Path of Exile? Its free to play. No expansions as all expansions are just added to the main game. PoE could also mean Pillars of Eternity though, which I have but have not played.
Probably a server hiccup. Sometimes when there is an overload of traffic (like when a sale starts) it can cause that staying logged in doesn't work

Are there any mods for Tales of Zestiria on PC that fix/change/just completely remove the dumb equipment skill system? I actually enjoyed the game (on PS4) more than most, but everytime I think about going back to it I remember spending so much time on the dumb equipment stuff that I just can't.

It's not vital to play since it's not a direct narrative sequel, and it also feels considerably less polished and ambitious than Dragonfall (and Hong Kong), both narratively and mechanically. But yeah, I actually do recommend you playing it. Aside from gameplay polish, the order doesn't matter.
I played Returns as last (first DF, then HK, then RE) and while it's definitely the least amazing, least polished and least meaty of the trilogy, I still appreciated it for being the first. A lot of its ideas we see back in DF and HK.
In hindsight, I think I would have started it chronologically in order of release (RE, DF, HK).
