My first steam summer sale buying games after building my own PC in June, even though my steam account has 3 years old and has 100+ games from only bundles.
Bought from my wishlist:
- Dishonored;
- Cities Skylines;
- Trochlight II.

Seemed like good/diverse choices for a semi-new PC gamer. I love FPS, but I've played so many that I'm going to try getting into new genres.

Wanted to pick up the God Mode 4-pack for my friends and I to mess around in, but because I already own the game I can't buy the bundle. The regular version isn't discounted or else I'd just buy three copies of that.

Ugh.. debating whether I should get Mass Effect 1 and 2 for $8.75 on steam or just play the trilogy I already own on PS3.. never played ME before.

Fallout New Vegas is one of the best RPGs around. Get it. More then worth the money and at that price it's a steal.

Can't help with the Steam controller question though.

If you are open to modding, no question you should buy the PC versions. You can get some texture mods that make the game look amazing, totally worth it.

Can you play this game with a steam controller or better with mk?

Don't know about steam controller but I played the game just fine with a 360 pad and M/KB for 2 playthroughs. Its a great game btw.

GAF, any quick thoughts on SOMA?

Great story and atmosphere. If you want in depth gameplay, don't bother, but the game is well worth playing for the story and the environments.

The PS3 versions of ME1 and ME2 run well, but ME3 runs like trash on PS3. And I'm not one to be too picky on performance. We're talking constant drops into the teens.

You'll want to play the whole series on the same platform if possible, so I recommend PC because of this.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.

Just get Origin Access and play through the entire trilogy in a month or two.

Sounds good, i will check it with the steam controller. I liked Morrowind, Oblivion and Fallout 3, so i think this is a sure shot.

50% off will do for me on DROD RPG, alongaside the Baldur's Gate Complete Saga from Bundle Stars. There's a bundle with Epistory that's vaguely tempting as well...

My only concern with this advice is the DLC pricing on PC - it is never discounted

Yo Dusk Golem, have you played Alicemare yet?
Click to expand...

I played some of the freeware version, but this updated version has new content. However, it's a cult favorite of many people who playe the whole horror RPG Maker scene, though Alicemare is notably more narrative focused. Basically its strong point is its characters, it highly symbolic dark fairytale worlds, and it can be a bit of a "feels game" for some with how it develops. Has multiple endings that are worth getting.

Wabbajack sighting. There was a quest involving that with Sheagorath in Skyrim aswell right?

That's a pokemon. Wobbafett or something.

Every daedric prince has an artifact associated with them. It can change from game to game but yeah, wabbajack is Sheogorath's.
