I'm enjoying it so far. Love the moody atmosphere and music and the voice acting is really good. Performance is good on my lowly 750 Ti but it isn't a demanding game of course. Puzzles are easy so far but I'm at the beginning. Only bad thing is the loading times.

Steam refunds yay!
Oh, right. Still a bit of a hassle, though.

Yeah this is a damn good bundle. Especially if these older games have nostalgic value for you. But even if not, you get a ton of games at every tier and it's almost certainly a better deal than you'll ever get buying them from Steam directly.
I loved the first chapter of the new game. I really need to play more. It's a joy to play!

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.
I really like it and would totally recommend it as a $5 upsell
Just going to copy this here:
This bundle overall is a fantastic value. Gabriel Knight, Police Quest, and King's Quest are pretty much the games that defined my love for gaming.
I could write pages and pages about the Gabriel Knight games, but I'll just say they are must plays. Among many reasons what I love is how each game is different in style and execution.
GK1 - 2D, VGA; dark supernatural/gothic feel w/ Voodoo backdrop
GK2 - FMV w/ real-world backgrounds; more romantic and primal
GK3 - full 3D, time block structure; rich, complex conspiracy-centered story
GK1 is the game that made me truly love games. GK2 is one of the best games that used FMV w/ actors. GK3 is grossly under appreciated, partially because it's 3D doesn't look great and turns people off and partially because of that goddamn Old Man Murray article
GK3's interface is fantastic - independent camera movement that allows you to explore each area efficiently. You don't have to wait for the character to walk from point a to point b if the camera faces away from them - Gabriel or Grace will appear right behind the camera. The point-and-click interface is great, too, with various context-sensitive icons. It's possibly the best integration of 3D environments/exploration with classic point-and-click gameplay. Le Serpent Rouge is an amazing puzzle - challenging, multilayered, and hugely integral to advancing the story. Overall the puzzles and variety are very good, mustache aside (which sticks out but isn't THAT terrible).
I've long held GK3 is quite underrated. It's hard to live up to the expectations set by its predecessors but I think it manages to do that. Sometimes I think it's my favorite of the trilogy, but each game is special to me for different reasons.
Lastly, here is a really enjoyable series on the making of the Gabriel Knight games. Each article is an easy read - compact and informative. It's also a nice slice of the way adventure games or even PC gaming overall was changing in the 90s.
Hunting Shadows: The Making of Gabriel Knight
Chapter 1: Enter the Schattenjäger
Chapter 2: The Voodoo Queen
Chapter 3: Gaming Goes Hollywood
Chapter 4: Movie Magic
Chapter 5: Dinosaurs
This bundle overall is a fantastic value. Gabriel Knight, Police Quest, and King's Quest are pretty much the games that defined my love for gaming.
didn't work becasue of nvidia drivers issues, the Devs worked for over a year finding a workaround
I would so go for this bundle, but damn what a time to be waiting for a paycheck!T_T
fuuuuuuck

Anybody use the NZXT CAM software? I can't get the overlay to show in a game. It looks slick when it is working and the interface is nicer and more streamlined than the winamp-looking Afterburner.

do goty bundles usually go on sale during steam sales? would love to pick up the witcher 3 goty this holiday.
a lot of people did
refund robot going to be working overtime today
yes
Thanks guys. I'll be getting the highest tier now.
For King's Quest or really any of these collections, should I start with the first in the series or jump to the latest?
It is until the end
That's a great Hubba Bubba.

Gotta say, Kingsglaive wasn't nearly as bad as i thought it's gonna be. Legitimately entertaining actually. Not great, but watchable.
Oh wow.
EA is just protecting you.

Bought the second tier even if I own about half of those games on GOG already.
Wow, I love Arcanum. So many childhood memories! I knew it was on GOG but not on steam...
Might get the bundle but that's the only game i want...

One of the first bundles were the highest tier is worth it to me. Really great bundle at all the tiers.
Some recommendations:
Gabriel Knight franchise is great. Even if you played the first one, Sins of fathers is totally worth a new play. GK2 is where the franchise shines, an awesome story, well crafted FMV, this game iss everything. GK3 is very good too, giving the franchise a nice closing, but you need to get used to the controls system, plus 3D models are not so great.
Phantasmagoria games are a must. The first one expecially is still an hit. The second one is probably "strange" even today, but it still is one of the best FMV game around.
King's Quest games are GREAT, I love this franchise so much but be aware, the bundle here is missing Mask of Etrnity, so buy that on GOG, still worth even if it's not a "regular" KG. To play the first titles use the fanmade superior version you can find here:
http://www.agdinteractive.com/games/games.html
Because they are very ancient.

Damn.
Great bundle who grew up with the Sierra point and click games.
Edit: And I cant activate 3 games, because they arent available in China...
When did Valve add that?

Not a bad bundle. All I really want is the Kings Quest collection though.
Deus Ex MD Patch
Where was this bloody yesterday?!?! I thought I'd made some impressively stupid glitch that ruined my save with an always wall jumping suicidal Jensen
Ha, my hand (sub-consciously) slipped and hit the $20 - which is what I wanted but was not intending to do for the sake of saving money

It released digitally today. I watched it on Amazon Video.

Yep, had my Ultraviolet copy pre-ordered with VUDU and almost considered staying up til midnight last night to watch it (but didn't). Work today seems like it's moving at a snail's pace waiting.
So, i've started God Eater: Resurrection. Screen of the Video Settings if you are interested:

(Yeah, that's GeDoSaTo!)
For some reason there is a 60FPS cap regardless of the frequency selected, maybe a bug
If I'll have time i wanna try to find an hudless value for gedo, it's not a looker but some scene are worth the trouble.
Oh for the correct mouse position when downsampling use this:
