Dammit, Gone Home is high on my wishlist and that is a great price, but all I end up playing these days when I sit on my PC and look at my steam library are the crazy addicting CSGO and DOTA 2 so even $5 makes it hard for me to jump on the deal for something that I'll likely not touch for a while and end up being $2 or featured in a HB before I get around to installing it. Bah.

Hopefully CS:GO gets a daily. Been a long time since I've played a CS game.

Huh, Kerbal didn't get a discount
Good for you.
It's still a misuse of the words and sounds like a marketing ploy.

Really torn between getting Skyrim or holding off for a good deal on a better game later on. On the one hand, I want to see and play it because it looks lovely and the Viking thing is a sell for me.. On the other hand, I hated Oblivion and this looks like it's a natural evolution of that.. So..

You can always wait until the Christmas sale.... probably will be the same price then.

I feel like I should buy Gone Home. I hear its an amazingly short game. I know the dollar to time ratio isnt that great of one, I just cant justify spending 20 bucks on something that short. I could spend 5 dollars on it though

Skyrim is awesome at times I couldn't enjoy oblivion but thought Skyrim was fun. It's not bad to look at and will give you many hours of exploring!

So uh, I always wondered.
What if, when PMing modbot, you sent a wrong entry, like rather than the key or the entry, you pasted a link to a website or something.
Wait until legendary is cheaper

Forget Skyrim, buy Morrowind GOTY edition and never look back.

Jesse becomes straight up badass towards the end of Season 4 of Breaking Bad
Only 50% off though, so he'll have to give up Skyrim and hope for a daily :lol
Steam sales staring me in the face sucks when have no money. Why Gone Home why. >.>
The gameplay is alright but not outstanding (at least it's there!), the visuals are nice but rough, where the game really excels is in its use of interaction to make its point, as well as just handling something you don't see much in games and doing it very well.
I highly recommend it if you're interested in the use of games as a storytelling or symbolic medium. I realize that sentence sounded pretentious.

Thanks for the impression, I'll just grab it, I'm kind of interested in the "story games" lately.
I will buy it when it is -75% off, metascore be damned. I loved the (first person) Space Hulk EA did in the 90s, one of the first games I played dozens of hours over LAN.

Thanks and bought, looks interesting.
Yes. For a licensed game especially, that's so good.
Stop derailing the thread. PSN+ is awesome, so is steam.

Damn, son. I didn't even get to do any of the open world stuff.

I know this isn't Steam related, but this may interest some here. The Starcraft II expansion, Heart of the Swarm is 75% off, ($9.99) at the Microsoft Store with free shipping.
The MS store website is getting hammered right now due to their Black Friday deals going live, but if you use their mobile version site you can get through a little easier right now. Google Chrome has an app that will let you use the desktop Chrome as a mobile browser version (User Agent Switcher).

I did not like it at al (I own it on uplay, bought it for 2E on GMG, that is not worth more).
I sent off a support ticket, noting that while I expect to receive a canned response I'd appreciate it if the concerns could be forwarded to the relevant people. We'll see what happens over the next month or two (if the retroactive region lock situation with Black Flag proved anything it's that there is a ton of red tape at Ubi).
I actually have Tintin on Uplay already but I'd buy it on Steam in a heartbeat. King Kong I just want because, like Tintin, it's sitting there.
Edit: I also suggested finally giving Valve updated builds for Anno 1404 and Dawn of Discovery. Earlier versions have a bug that tends to break saves and the game was eventually pulled due to complaints; while Ubi patched the Uplay and retail flavours, the Steam versions were given the cold shoulder. It doesn't help that there are two apps to maintain, one for the US (Anno) and another for Europe (Dawn of Discovery), but 1404/DoD is old enough now that Ubi could just submit the latest builds and call it a day.
YOU'VE MURDERED US ALL!
Hey mate, I'm the designer on the game and my suggestion is you download the demo and check out performance, full version will be a little bit better but demo is very representative. From my own experience it is very playable at 720p/low settings on a laptop with Intel HD4000 graphics (~60fps in single player a lot of the time) but YMMV.
Probably can't add it because it's early access, hopefully in a couple months that won't be a problem
Yay for being in steam sale, we're not featured on anything and nobody knows about the game so I doubt we'll see a massive spike, but it's good to be on for the ride
