I am up for some Action RPG. Looking through my list there are plenty but these two stood out - Divinity 2 and The Witcher 1 Enhanced Edition. I probably am asking the obvious here but I should play Witcher, yes? I heard it's awesome but Divinity 2 doesn't look all that bad either... Or is it?

Didn't see that there was a demo up. Will be trying before I be buying.
Simon says ... SALE.
Well I'm currently debating between Divinity II and Neverwinter Nights 2. Thoughts?

Yeah the Amazon thread is the other way
It's been a long time, but I did beat both the GRAW1 & 2 campaigns. I'm not sure I remember enough to help you though.
It's depressing looking at that and not seeing anything I want that I don't already own.
Except Crusader Kings 2 is a 3rd of their list.
I think the application of tax is IP-based, as I've never been charged any despite using the address of Google's HQ.
Welcome to my last 2 steam sales and likely this one coming up. I'm at the point where my past library is mostly full and I have all of the 2012 releases I want so far so I'm kind of screwed. My only motivation is to play the daily challenges and hope I win the 10 games on your wishlist thing they usually do, that way I'll get a bunch of games from this Fall and next Spring.
Winning that would of course bring up the same problems with the winter sale though

Steam sale will be Railworks 3: Train Simulator 2012 DLC, Bad Rats and Revelations 2012. You heard it here first.
First world problems, you and I. *sigh*Welcome to my last 2 steam sales and likely this one coming up.

I think part of the problem is, a lot of stuff on that Amazon list are strategy games, and my time is being filled squarely with Dota 2 right now -- I just don't have the time for another strategy game that takes hundreds of hours to become proficient at. I kind of know that if I buy any other strategy game at this point, it's immediately going to go into the backlog never to see the light of day for months or years.
That said, I'm kind of interested in Sniper Elite v2 and the two Ys games. Oh and I still need Modern Warfare 1 (have 2 and 3, but 1 is not Steamworks so I'll have to wait for Summer Sale to complete my collection).

It's 11:30 am, you have 90 minutes bub.
It's more of a question of what we will see first... The sale, Big Picture Mode or Ricochet 2

I agree. Paying US prices without jumping through hoops is the best thing about Amazon DD deals.
Well, the ''action'' part from ARPG is quite flawed in The Witcher, but I don't know how much that matters to you.

Well, they better do SOMETHING today. Amazon is clearing out wallets. I'm dropping at least 35 over there =/

I spent like $25 already and thats because I've been trying my best to control myself.
If you realize there will be more deals on Amazon (BD is a certain purtchase), Steam really needs to step up!

Sega, Squeenix, and Amalur+DLC sales+packs are coming this month on Amazon as well.
Sales dates are usually set ahead of time, but if they were deciding now when the sale was going up and if I was in charge of it, I'd wait the Amazon sale to end to not compete with them and to piss off everybody that bought games from Amazon by making those games cheaper.
Also more sales so people can buy from me too.

Would anyone like a copy of Nuclear Dawn? PM me your Steam ID.

Pretty much, not sure if it will be cheaper than Amazon but it will be close enough that it would make me feel that the margins are right, plus I like the fact that Steam sales have this grandeur to them, they add things to their sales which no one else can do, such as achievement hunts, gifting and prizes. As well as having more games on sale's it's really hard to beat them at that.

Which ones? I've used both VISA and Mastercard without any problems. Most people would probably use one of those.
Visa Debit.
Another problem was region locking, during the Christmas period, Xelios gifted me Mafia II key from Amazon, unfortunately it was locked to American Steam accounts only.

I believe Mafia II is one of the just few games that are region-locked, and all are from 2K. In any case, if someone happens to encounter this, TunnelBear is your friend.
I should use this and email Valve saying I moved to Vladivostok or something.
dat ruble discount.
I think I looked through the entire Amazon list and didn't see anything that I wanted to get or, didn't already own. In addition, Amazon is helping Steam out by getting more people playing more Steam games. Lastly, I'm not sure how many people actually know there's a sale going on, on Amazon, unless they update the front page or send lots of email or something.
Of course I feel a similar way with Steam -- I can't really think of anything off hand that I'm waiting on a sale to buy -- so I may not be a typical consumer.
The polar opposite of the Aussie Tax.

Going to cave and do $30 MP3 on Amazon. Hopefully worst case would be it going down to $25 on Steam.
Well gonna have to add the region locking issue to OP.
