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.

But seriously, the AC games are generally pretty great on PC. Liberation and Rogue run much better than their last-gen console counterparts.

This is the lowest price Doom has been, right? 67% off?
I haven't played either, but ubderstand that the first White March is meh, while the second is quite good.
How is NWN 2? I liked the first one with friends, but would be playing it solo.
Mmm... I think you should try it if you have an Nvidia card, the problem is that the game is 44GB, a "bit" big to demo it.
Also, everyone should buy/play INSIDE, finished it in one sitting, I'm still in awe.
The original campaign is cliche high fantasy, but I'm liking it well enough. I have ample amount of time to burn, so I don't mind the grinds associated with it. I know the expansion, Mask of the Betrayer, is highly praised on Gaf.

NWN2 base is pretty iffy given recent efforts in the genre. It has one real highlight but that's about it. Mechanically the engine has some quirks and rough edges that were never sorted out.
Mask of the Betrayer still holds up really well on the strength of its setting, encounters, and themes and is still worth playing.

It's a great game that has some performance issues, I imagine a lot of the reviews are because of that.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'd certainly let them pay me to take it. But it's definitely showing as a positive amount on my end.
I dunno. Looking at the people they have you follow on some of these to enter, doesn't seem likely.

couldn't pass up AoE 2 HD, AoE 3 collect, Age of Mythology, & Rise of Nations collection for 27 bucks (Canadian).
Loved playing these games in the past but (like I mention earlier) lost the discs.

I put counterstrike because of the chickens.

People are upset because the game isn't what it could have been. It's about as good as Human Revolution, but the story is pretty middling. It also has some major issues with how mediocre it is at handling its themes, but I doubt that plays into any of the Steam reviews. Taken purely as a game, it should have positive ratings. As a new Deus Ex game, it's nothing particularly special.

It's pretty shitty, it didn't even get a sequel which says all that needs to be said.
I just bought it from GamesplanetUK where it's £12.99 ($16 converted through PayPal). It's a global region-free Steam code.

Does Arkham Asylum GOTY still have SecuRom shitware?
I found Liberation to be rather boring. Ubi did much better job that I would have guessed sprucing the game up, however due to its handheld origins, the game world is tiny and sparsely populated, and the dress mechanic doesn't live up to its potential as the missions dictate which outfit to wear. Ideally, the decision would have been left up to the player and the missions designed such that they play out somewhat differently based on the outfit choice. I'd like to see the mechanic revisited at some point in a big-budget title.
No. It was patched out with the GFWL -> Steamworks update.

NWN2 is superior to NWN in every single way, and its campaign is actually pretty decent; the castle management and having your own domain halfway through the game really makes things very interesting.
Alas, its expansion Mask of the Betrayer is what most people hail as one of the best roleplaying experiences of the 2000s, but as someone who really loved the original game it did not work for me. Being torn from the west coast of Faerun and dropped into Rashemen, which I do not find particularly suited to my tastes, meant I did not force myself to play it for long.. Regardless, I KNOW that the story really picks up and turns into an epic game later on, so don't do the same mistak and play that as well.

Bleh, I went through my wishlist for games ~$10 on sale, and there's very few that I really want to jump on. Might skip this entire sale.
I wish I'd have gotten in on some of those Square Enix store mistakes. I was flying at the time and didn't have access. Bummer. Maybe I'll finally nab Slain. Anyone have opinions on it?

Time to choose, Pillars of Eternity, Divinity Original Sin, Wasteland 2 or Age of Decadence.. Wow, this is tough..
Im grabbing it when its inevitably in the humble monthly
Alpha Protocol.
Well he didnt say "good playing rpg" so AP is a good sugestion.
I would throw in Amalur but I don't know if its cheap right now and im too lazy to check.

Is Rise of the Tomb Raider $35 good?
I'm dying for a mindless open world game right now.
TLR isn't on sale for some reason. It might be an oversight, it usually is discounted during big sales...
Alpha Protocol is also a good one, as mentioned above. And in that vein, KotOR1/2, and Neverwinter Nights 2 (Mask of the Betrayer mainly).

Four options off the top of my head:
- The Last Remnant
- Drakensang: River of Time + Phileasson's Secret
- Shadowrun: Dragonfall
- Shadowrun: Hong Kong

The situation with Lost Planet is a tad confusing. Lost Planet: Colonies Edition and Lost Planet 2 use GFWL, but the original release of Lost Planet does not, and Lost Planet 3 was originally a Steamworks/GameSpy hybrid for some utterly asinine reason (Capcom ultimately spent around three months bankrolling a GameSpy -> Steamworks patch that really shouldn't have been necessary in the first place). Capcom has no plans to remove GFWL from CE and 2.
TLR has always been mentioned to me, but everytime I see it, I get those post FFX vibes that kind of turn me off. Perhaps it's an exception?
I have Shadowrun Returns, but never really put time into it. Is it worth it?
Drakensang might just do it. How tactical is the gameplay? Is it important to use a little strategy, or is it more of a Dragon Age situation where you just kind of throw everyone into the fray and usually win?
Y'know I actually played this when it came out, but never got around to beating it. I may have to start a new playthrough.
Bloodlines is the actual correct response.
Stumpokapow
listen to the mad man
JaseC, did you ever manage to offload your 50 copies of Pat and Mat?
Bloodlines has always seemed a little too text-heavy for me. I need a little more gameplay in my RPG. Unless I'm missing something.

So since I did not respond in time for the last steam thread, here is my about to be built, but will buy steam games this sale anyway for when I finish it, "PC."
CPU: Intel i5-6600K 3.5GHz
M B: Gigabyte GA-Z170N-WIFI
RAM: Corsair CMK16GX4M2A2666C16
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO
PSU: SilverStone SST-SX500-LG
GPU: Nvidia 1070 Reduced length Gigabyte GV-N1070IXOC-8GD
Case: SilverStone Sugo Mini-ITX SST-SG05BB-LITE
Total: ¥138,243 ish. Not counting w/e sales that will be coming or different shops having stuff cheaper.
Basic run down of what I've been recommended and looking at. Live in Japan so don't want some massive PC sitting around for when/if I move again.
Now the real question is... do I rebuy one of my favorite games of this year, DOOM on PC haha.

Theres plenty of gameplay but in that case I go back to my Amalur suggestion.
