So should I save for Papers, Please (or some other cool release down the line) or get discounted Super House of Dead Ninjas + DLC?
Mark of the Ninja definitely one of the best games I have ever played.
Those developers deserve so much more recognition. Fantastic work.
Or we can Dunder all 3 for Winter Sale price, today!

Yes, I turned Dunder's name into a verb.

Speaking of Mark of the ninja, Klei's new game Incognita looks really good as well. 42 min early gameplay video.

Reminds me of Xcom with the hacking of Deus Ex.

Finally got my Rocksmith cable. It came with a demo disc. I pop that fucker in, click Install, and suddenly Steam opens and starts installing the demo from the DVD. So it seems like it does have a terrible DRM. Fuck this shit, I should have bought an Xbone.
Nah, but seriously, it's strange that it isn't advertised anywhere on the disc. I don't mind at all, since nowadays all of my PC games purchases are of Steam-activable titles, but there may be some people who do.

I accidentally bought the standard version of Krater as well. What I ended up doing was getting it here:
Dr. Cerebro DLC
There you can purchase the DLC and get a Steam key for it. It's around $2 USD.
thanks! haha guess I should play it first and decide whether it's worth it.
hmm this would add up to almost 3+ bucks for the two DLCs and soundtrack
GOTY is right

Not really worth it. Although it is kinda nice to have a level 15 character early in the game.
This is a seriously tough choice. Both Derek Yu and Lucas Pope are developers I really respect and who are an inspiration to me as an amateur game developer, and both of their games I followed closely throughout development; I still remember playing Spelunky's early builds, and there's absolutely no doubt in my mind they both deserve my money and more (I get the feeling many share these thoughts though, and both games will have significantly warm welcomes to Steam so my mind is at ease).
On the other hand Guacamelee's devs I haven't really followed for long, but I liked all the announcement shenanigans and the "NeoGAAAAF!!!!" vine they did, so I already like them
I think I'll go with Spelunky, simply because I've been recently craving a good roguelike (missed out on Rogue Legacy, although it still sits firmly somewhere in the top spots of my wishlist), and because I've been hyping myself for it this past week, watching LPs and reviews and gosh, I was so damn frustrated when it was announced it would be a Xbox Live exclusive
I'll eventually buy Papers, Please though, and I'm crossing my fingers it will be sooner rather than later.

I haven't played it either yet! My buddy bought it and wants to do coop so I figured I'd clean up getting the DLCs.
If I had just gotten the Collector's Edition it only would've been $4,60. Instead I ended up paying $5.60. Not too bad I guess. Didn't really want the soundtrack anyways.

listen to the mad man
Why is Myst III not on Steam?

no GFWL
it's funny cause im still not convinced because no Rocksteady but who am I kidding, im probably there day 1

I haven't followed it closely.
If I didn't like the previous two games, is there any reason to think I'd enjoy this one?
I hope it lives up to the first two, even though it's not made by Rocksteady
That it bothers you is exactly the reason why they do it.
Also, to be fair you no longer have 100%ed the game, because there's now more to the game.
And why is Anno 1404 & Anno 1404: Venice on Steam but then... not on Steam fellow GAFfer?
Not cool, at all.
it's not the same developer, but the new one is doing pretty much everything to make it look and play like Rocksteady

Fair enough, thanks.
Yeah I can see why people like them, I just don't like stealth games much or batman
who doesn't like batman
pam please
sucks that the arkham game I'm not even slightly interested in is the only one that gets a proper release

I'm pretty intrigued by the multiplayer aspect of this one. 2v3v3 is either going to be an unbalanced mess or completely brilliant.

I find it kinda dumb in the sense that who the hell would want to play as anything other than batman
being a random thug trying to take him down sounds like no fun

Nuh uh, nuh uh, noooo way.

Tbh I think the chances of actually making something that requires the DLC (or in general) is small.
Grab it and see how you go with the standard stuff. If you reach the point where you need more it'll be on sale again soon enough.

Probably not. Worst case scenario is that Origins has a terrible narrative but nearly identical gameplay.
Earlier versions of Anno 1404 have a bug that causes saves to be incorrectly generated. rendering them useless. While Ubi patched the retail and Uplay versions, it didn't bother sending Valve an update for the Steam version, and the game was eventually pulled.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
You can mix and match assets between the DLC packs, but not on the same maps/areas/dungeons/whatever unless you manually merge the spritesheets from those packs.
I think the DS DLC pack looks pretty cool and is generally considered the most expansive. But as others have already mentioned, it's probably best to pick up the standard edition now and DLC later if you think you'd use it.
Arkham Origins is likely region locked, first of the series
separate entry for CIS, no mention of "onlyplayablefromrestrictedcountries" or whatever that line is, but they ussually add it later
unless all those TF2 freakies stock up soon, I doubt there'll be cheapo versions available

Papers, Please is the answer. Dont you people own Guacamelee already on PS3/Vita anyway.
Implying we have consoles.
Console master race.
Is multiplayer like the previous games or something new?
? the previous games didnt have multiplayer
3v3v3 death match
I liked the Rocksmith demo. It made me realize that I suck so much at playing bass, I should be looking for a new hobby
Also, I gotta learn to play without looking at the frets ASAP.
what do I need to hook my guitar up to that?
