Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.

PSA: Be sure you have some cash in your steam wallet before relying on the app. It has a history of not accepting credit cards for no apparent reason. Steam wallet always works on it.

Sounds like a misguided attempt at having me rethink impulse purchases. Nice try, Valve, but I don't use the app.

I still can't believe none of the Darksiders 2 DLC got achievements. I mean who the fuck does that? Oh I know, the recently released Sleeping Dogs DLC!

Amen bro.

DLC without cheevs doesn't inspire me to head back for more!

Anyways. Off to bed, see you all tomorrow for sales and hopefully epic achievement hunting!

That would actually be a good decision. Thank god they didn't try to put more meaningless filler into Darksiders 2.

The Abyssal Forge is super meaningless. Pretty, but super meaningless. The second DLC just broke on me and I have no way to restart it short of wiping all my saves I guess. I'm waiting to play the last DLC until after I beat the second.

I just purchased the darksiders pack! I thought I couldn't until I tried!

One question, The Abyssal Forge is both in the season pass and as a standalone key?

I have a feeling Borderlands 1 and 2 may get a bundle discount release during the seal.
My friend told me that Borderlands is more of an RPG with FPS elements, but how is the single player campaign/mode of the games?
Essentially, the world is divided into sizeable chunks that you can travel to/from using fast travel points, and there's nothing to do but complete quests that rarely if at all move beyond "Go here and retrieve/destroy this". Loot is supposedly a core component of the game, but not unlike Diablo 3, most of it is useless and it's not uncommon to find a weapon/shield that will suffice for many hours. The games most certainly benefit from co-op play, but I had enough fun with the original to solo the main campaign and the DLC expansions.
This. I only played the first one for a couple of hours, alone, and it's really good. Of course, it's even better with a co-op partner (had one for my first 30 minutes), but I enjoyed it solo anyway. If you pick it up let me know, I'd like someone to play it with.

What, is it wrong? I did it too. Got MotN on the Autumn Sale and haven't touched it yet. Too many other games to play.

Mark of the Ninja is the best game I played this year. And I played a ton of games this year.

It's the best:
-Side-scroller
-Stealth game
-Indie game
-
Metroidvania
In recent years.

The story is surprisingly great, the ending is gorgeous, the gameplay is incredibly tight, and the visuals are very consistent.

Yeah, I've said before it'll likely wind up being my GoTY. I'll have to remember to finish it in time for GAF's voting thread.

Any chance Far Cry 3 will get a good sale?

AC: Revelations was 25% off during last year's Christmas/Winter Sale and it too released in November, so expect the same. It's possible that it'll get a deeper discount elsewhere, though. (I'm still waiting on something to come of the retail subs that were added to the registry about a month ago.)

What chances has super hexagon to get a discount? like 50%/75%
It's totally worth the full price. I bought it on my phone at $3 and don't regret the purchase at all. If you have an iPhone or iPad, I'd say those are the ideal platforms for it. If not, just spend the $3 and be happy.

...it's $3 at full price. A dollar less if you can find somebody willing to split a two-pack.
JaseC we all know you have stacks lol

It was so good even I liked it, and a lot since it was #3 on my goty list. Really impressive for an indie/arcade quality title.

I don't know...

At such a low price point, any savings you manage by way of a sale are only going to be relatively signifnicant rather than practically so. That said, with the sale literally a few hours away, just buy it at its general sale discount (assuming it's reduced at all), which will probably be to the order of 25%-33%.
