Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
Bored? Here's something to ease the pain of no new deals for five more hours.

Any impressions on LEGO Marvel Superheroes? I love LEGO games and Marvel. Was thinking of playing it right away after I finish Zelda on the 3DS
on the last dungeon

Just wondering if it's a good LEGO game

I'm not crazy about the other LEGO games, but I love LEGO Marvel. Being able to fly all over New York is awesome, the amount of characters is overwhelming, and the use of the IP is great.

Is Dark Souls going to remove the games for windows? If not how will that affect the game?

Worst case scenario they do not patch it out.

You will still be able to play your game, either through a Microsoft client patch to disable authentication, offline profile, crack, or mod.

Online play will cease to function in its current form after July.

Complete GTA pack for $10? Sounds good but... is it a good time for buying that?

It's just I've heard GTA IV still have that GFWL DRM, and I was wondering if Rockstar has plans to patch it... or, if not, will I be able to play the single player part just fine?

Haven't heard anything yet.

Do note that for this sale, the "only buy non-Daily/Flash deals on the last day" rule does not apply. The Christmas Sale starts December 19th, a little over two weeks after the end of this sale.

Seriously? Surprised they would have 2 sales so close to each other.

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.

Sounds awesome, thanks!

So, while I will wait for the dailies, does DLC ever get one of the spots/is it likely to get a spot?
My brother is looking for Brigmore Witches, so I'd like to know if 33% is as low as it'll go.

DLC normally gets a higher discount if the base game is featured.
 
Okay, quick guys. Outlast or Antichamber? Or both, or neither?

AKA, which one is going to show up in a humble bundle sooner and make me regret adding this to my backlog?

Wait til Dishonored is a Daily/Flash deal, and the DLC will likely be discounted too. I'm also hoping to grab the two campaign DLCs :)
 
Guess I'll play Sonic Generations until the next Daily Deal happens. Depending if it matches the Amazon deals or not, will decide if I put my $40 into my Amazon wallet or Steam wallet.

Those Amazon deals are outrageous, while the Steam deals are pretty meh at the moment.

Also if anyone knows the answer to my GMG question then plz let me know. A free game always interests me.

Antichamber is older, so probably that first. I think the days of awesome games in Humble Indie Bundles might be over though...too many people buying tons of keys at $1 and reselling them later :(

EDIT: that said, both games are pretty cheap and well worth it at their discounted price!

Does bioshock infinite take place mostly outdoor? I kind of want a shooter with bigger open maps.

Going to wait and see what steam has and might pick up infinite on gmg.

Infinite is pretty linear, they have some open maps, but by the time you reach them you are bored with the combat.

Some of these questions are freaking absurd.

Honestly, I just wanna know which one people think is better if I'm going to only play one in the near future.

And you can't say I'm crazy about the bundle stuff...I almost gaurantee one if not both of these will show up in a bundle within the next 6-12 months.

Trials: Evolution Gold - Were the performance issues fixed? Worth getting? Have been holding off and just saw the flash sale. Don't really want to buy on XBLA since I want to get rid of my Xbox.

It does, but what I've played of it was pretty linear. It's not Crysis, more like a continuously shifting series of combat arenas.

Mostly outdoors but hardly open world. You can retrace your steps back through significant parts of the game though. But there are only a few times where you would even need to do that.

I loved the game. Gunplay is much improved over the previous games and the setting is fantastic. Probably wont find it cheaper than $10 for awhile.

I have $30 credit to any 2k games from pre-ordering Bioshock Infinite from Amazon, Does anyone know when it is supposed to expire?

Yes, mostly outdoor. Its not 'big open maps', though. You have a large, wide vista usually available to you, but its not immediately accessible at all.

The game consists of lots of smaller, floating islands, so if you want something like Crysis, its probably not what you're looking for. But I still found exploring around pretty fun and its far from a linear, corridor shooter, either.

To be fair, you basically just asked whether oranges are better than apples, and which are most likely to be sold by that old Russian lady down the hall from her fruit cart.

Just making sure, I'm not the first to see this at the bottom of the main Steam page. Right?

Damn, I guess I see we have some Origin haters in this thread (or you know, these keys hit a major saturation point). Oh well. I guess I have to give out some Steam keys to butter them up first.

Same here. I just finished Dark Souls and was feeling pretty good about myself but the initial curve in this game is rough. It's super fun and entertaining so I'll keep at it but, damn.

I think it a fun, pretty game, but it's also grind-to-win. It's intentionally near-impossible to progress past the first boss without at least a small handful of upgrades.

Perfect Timing. Thanks for Batman:AO DLC. Just grabbed the base game from Amazon for $19.99.

I said I would only buy the Wizardry bundle (6, 7 and 8) yesterday. Ended up buying the Wizardry bundle, Jet Set Radio, Faerie Solitaire, Cherry Tree High Comedy Club, Wasteland, Guns of Icarus and The Dig.

Welp.
