I am curious about Neverwinter Knights 2, but need to be convinced. If someone could mention what makes that game stand out, in comparison to other western rpgs.

I was going to pick up all the Killing Floor DLC just to give them support but it says I own them all already . . . ? I don't remember buying them all. I know I bought 1 or two of them.
Weird. Anyone else have this happen?

I hope that goes up soon. I have been curious to try it for a while.Volcynika said:

I paid good money for this Dynex!
So is Mirror's Edge worth getting? I've heard some people bitch about it a lot, but some people seem to really love it. Who should I believe!?!?!??!!?!?!?

The combat system is perfectly fine in NWN2. That doesn't mean everyone likes it.fresquito said:

NWN2 is so good, Get it if you can. Jumping straight into MOTB is going to be rough unless your familiar with 3.0 since its and epic level game. The normal NWN2 story is pretty good, fun characters. MOTB is fucking fantastic though.

Wow, Power of Defense looks and sounds terrible. Easiest indie DOTD to pass ;p

A passionate embrace, a beautiful memory lingers.
I picked up Darksiders on impulse and I'm fucking loving it. I'm crazy tempted to try NWN2, but I remember playing it a long time ago and really not enjoying it. But I also think my PC couldn't handle it properly. I'm a giant fan of Dragon Age and all that, but I'm not so sure...
10 bucks, though... I've spent a good 65ish bucks so far on Steam (well, 12 of it was from Amazon, but I installed it through steam, and 10 of it was a gift, too) If I loved DA and it's gameplay, should I enjoy this?

Totally different. NWN2 to 1 is Kotor2 to 1.Van Owen said:

Dragon Age and NWN are both spun from the Baldur's Gate series, which is also D&D.
Jumped in on Mirror's Edge. Oh how lovely it is to have a good PC this year. Last year, my rig was old and slow. It's great to get these PC versions of console releases I couldn't see myself spending console game pricing on. Borderlands GOTY, Batman AA GOTY, Burnout Paradise, FEAR 2, Just Cause 2, Mafia 2 (Amazon, but downloadable on Steam) and now Mirror's Edge for $63 total. And to top it all off, 60fps with triple buffering on all of them.

It's an amazing game on mouse and keyboard. And artistically.Chacranajxy said:

On a side note, the funniest part about these Steam impulse purchases is that I'll play the bought games for a few minutes and delete them off my drive, with the exception of Mass Effect, then just go back to playing Team Fortress 2.

I think I'm going to flip a coin to choice between Serious Sam and Mirror's Edge. :lol

I'm 99% sure I am going to get NWN2 since it has both Betrayer and Zehir. I don't like to impulse buy so I'm going to think about this for a bit.
Machinarium for $2.99... sounds like a good price for that kind of game. I couldn't spend $19.99 on something like that (sorry guys who made it :\) so it's also on the potential buy list.
Cities XL is a game I've been wanting to get but not for that price. If it were around $9.99 I would probably bite.
The daily indie deal, Power of Defense... looks weird based on the video on the store page, is that game any good? I'm always up for a good tower defense game that brings some innovation to the table, but this just looks, weird. If I can't figure out what's going on from a video that usually scares me off.
My wish list for the rest of this week:
Drakensang
Hinterland
VtM: Bloodlines (yes I've joined the chorus for this game, further cementing the fact that it will never go on sale again...)

Better buy SFIV before they realize they mistakenly priced it too low.

The only thing that could make this better if Obsidian is getting a cut from the sales.
Idea is the same. Obsidian taking bioware's work and making it their own. I don't think there are any story connections between 1 and 2.Van Owen said:Awesome, although there were a few story connections in your example.
For me it's a very good game. I didn't have any problems beating it without firing a shot (although you, of course, can fire if you feel like firing). It's only six to eight hours, and is more of a platformer than anything else. I think many people thought it was a different kind of game: their mistake. If anything, it reminds me of games like Super Meat Boy, where you can die a lot, but you still try and try. It's just so much more easy and in 3D.Chacranajxy said:
Story is forgetable and graphics are awesome. Probably the best IQ I've seen in any game. Art direction is fantastic. At 2.5 it's a damn steal.

They are similar not the same. Different DnD variants and DA:O is their bastard child.EvaPlusMinus said:

So does ME contain the Time Trial mode? Or is it DLC on PC, too?

I bought NWN 2 from the Atari site, and recently had a hell of a time trying to find the download links for it. What a mess that was. Debating whether I should just pick it up and not worry about the safety and security of downloading it ever again...

It says I have them all . . . wait . . . apparently I bought the other three back on October 8 . . . they must have been on sale then. Never mind.Baha said:
