My dollar store mouse is dying on me right now, whats a good mouse to get? I don't care about the keypads on the sides that will most likely annoy me more than anything, I need mostly durability and comfort.

Depends on hand size/grip. Logitechs have been going on sale frequently. If you have smaller hands and fingertip grip, I'd recommend the Cooler Master Storm Xornet II. (I've only owned the Spawn)
 
LISA, Undertale, Fallout 4 or Disohonored?

I'm sort of leaning towards Undertale because I suspect it to be a hot topic in game of the year podcasts.
 
Picked up Doom and the season pass for it in this sale.

Just got done playing a bit of it, max settings 1440p upscaled to 4K on the X800D I bought with my Pro... hot damn. That is a good looking game.

You are in for a hell of a ride. Doom is incredible, well at least the singleplayer is.
 
Whats going on?

Undertale is a great game, I really liked it. Go with that one and then pick up dishonored another time. I was actually gonna pick up lisa myself this sale but i spent all my disposable cash on clothes + hitman over at gs

thinking of getting slain and killer is dead

heard good things about updated slain
I can vouch for killer is dead, its a fun budget action game. Theres a tweak out there to increase the fps, if i recall correctly its locked 30 fps

The improvement is remarkable in how much effort they actually put into making the game better and how well they succeeded...but in the end, the game really isn't all that much fun anyway. Could be worth it if you really truly love the sludgy gore and the headbanging your character does when you beat a boss and that whole metal thing it does, otherwise I wouldn't recommend it until it shows up in a Humble Bundle or is like $1.

I was playing through witcher 2 on max settings, wondering why anyone would praise the graphics on this until I turned off that god awful bloom.
 
Reminder that NMS is 40% off.





The reactions of people are positive for once in that NMS thread.

They're not positive, they're fixative. NMS is the only game in that Venn diagram of genres that will ever have those people's money. They get the money when they do good, they get meltdowns when they don't, and no one else's similar but better product can sway them to concieving of buying any different.

Accidentally stayed sub'd to humble monthly. Anyone willing to trade me Enter the Gungeon or Mass Effect 2 for Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen?

This is a good deal. You can get Gungeon for 5.69 off Wingamestore.com with code pcgames5off

Lends more credence to Blues & Bullets being cancelled then.

The way the devs have acted over that game is Sean Murray-esque at this point but isn't getting the attention.

Think I shall open a ticket to Steam regarding at least a partial refund now.
 
I just yesterday got a laptop capable of playing decent games. A Dell 7559 with gtx960m. Got a steam account. Good lord addicting already and I haven't even played a game. I understand the 300+ backlog when's sales are this good. Also bought a steam controller.

I bought the following:

Civilization 5 and all dlc.
Never played the Civ series before and always looked fun.

Brothers: Tale of Two Sons
Wanted something relaxing and heard great things.

Half Minute Hero 1 & 2
Going in pretty blind on this other than GAF saying it's great.

NimbusSame as above.

Portal 1 & 2
Played both on 360. Beat Portal 2. Loved it and it was dirt cheap.

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
Premise sounded cool. Got good reviews. Really cheap.

So yea, this is my first steam haul. Wanted to go cheap. Not sure which to install first. Funny thing is I have a 10 month old and don't really have time to play games lol. So let the backlog begin!

Which would you guys recommend me installing first with only having about an hour or so per night to play?

Definitely not Civ V. An hour is never enough for that game.
Also, if you've never played a 4X game, you're lucky in that Civ V babies you.
Go for Brothers since you've already beaten both Portal titles.

bought Portal 2

loved the first one, i should probably play this too

Too bad that Portal games are not included with the Half-Life complete bundle :/

Also bought a steam controller.

Do you like it? If they will offer a better deal like 50% off at the winter sale then I will consider it as well. Hard to judge because some people hate it some people love it. Some says it's better than the Xbox controller

Managed to raise £6 from steam cards so put it towards the Witcher 3 and its expansions (Got it for £14)

Going to give this ago again, I put in 20 or so hours on PS4 but between performance issues and imo bad combat i gave up on it.

I now have a nice PC so i'm hoping the expansions and far better performance and visuals make it more enjoyable for me. I don't expect to enjoy the combat more but I did enjoy it as a whole and everyone raves about the expansions. Quite excited about getting back into it.
