amazon/gmg maybe, on steam def not
Not exactly, that was me putting words in their mouths. The exact quote I bastardised from the old thread about failing to discount DLC when main game is on sale was:
How is XCOM Enemy Within for PC $20 on Amazon but still $30 on Steam?

Haven't run into the bug when climbing down a ladder in Dark Souls with the 60fps fix (Asylum). Does that mean I'm pretty much safe to play the entire game with the 60fps mod ? What's the bug anyway, is it anything gamebreaking ? I have some ugly framerate drops in the Asylum when 60fps isn't enabled so I'd like to play with it as most as possible.
Oh and last question, can people still join me if the 60fps mod is enabled ?

Bookmarked. It will be useful when I inevitably end up buying it.

The only good thing that came out of Attack on Titan.
The discount on the physical copy is Amazon's own.
but people said Skyrim was good
I'm happy that I resisted the temptation of Skyrim. Now I can use that money on SMT IV.

When does system shock 2 start to pick up? I find it pretty hard to get into, possibly because of the dated graphics. The tutorial section seems to drag.
The problem isn't with climbing down ladders, but with sliding down them. Just don't do that and you'll be fine. There are supposedly certain clutch jumps that get messed up on 60fps, but I didn't have any issues in my playthrough so I wouldn't worry about it.

The game is not for me, but I'd recommend anyone to try Dark Souls at that price as long as you won't give up after being killed a few times. You'll become decent at the game pretty quickly if you keep going.
I put a good amount of time into it even though I didn't fall in love with it.

People you should not trust anymore.
I won't dispute that Skyrim has a great open-world, that is what people actually like. The game itself is not very good however.

What are the must have mods for Skyrim? It is like Oblivion, I'll use the console and screw around after I get tired of the combat.

Awesome giveaway

Buy it!
The only downside is that you'll feel bad for having paid so little for it.
Literally one of the worst levels in a video game. Shit isn't hard enough, maybe we should just make it pitch black so you can't see. =)
A truly great game. Highly recommend the "prepare to cry" youtube series after beating it too.
It looks nice on the shelf after you've used the steam key in it to download the game.
Honestly, don't miss out on this. The game is a challenging masterpiece with giant, glorious bosses that actually need strategy and skill to beat
(minus pinwheel )
)You'll want to experience this before DS2 comes out.

I'm almost afraid to ask this but what exactly is so good about Dark Souls?
I'm just curious as I see a lot of people rave about it and I just wanted to know what makes the game so well received?

I hate brutally hard games so no thanks on dark souls.
Yeah, the intro tutorial is kind of boring. However, as soon as you are left on the ship, things pick up. The game oozes atmosphere and the fact that you're always short on supplies and enemies are everywhere makes it one of the tensest games I've played. Stick with it for a little longer and see what you think.
Looking at the percentages, and doing some rough comparisons, it seems to me that some of those deals end up being poor or almost comparable to what is offered right now on Steam/what will be up on Amazon, even when factoring in the 20% coupons on top of it.
A little bit disappointing, in a way.... though it also means less money spent, so it's good as well.

Dumb question, does Dark Soul has controller support? Does 360 controller work on it?
Not really digging any of those deals. There are some good ones, but own everything of note already. Any good hidden deals?
Absolutely.
Absolutely.

Skyrim 2K Textures
Climates of Tamriel
Realistic Lighting Overhaul
W.A.T.E.R. (there are a few good water mods)
ENB, if you find a preset you like.
Flora Overhaul
Just to name a few.
To quote from the product page, 'Microsoft Xbox 360® Controller for Windows® (or equivalent) is strongly recommended.'

Unnoficial patch, SkyUI or any other mod that revampd it, there is a mod that bring back classes and status instead of the stupid health, mana, stamina system. Tgete are a ton of graphical mods for you to choosr.

All I'm really looking for in this one is Reus and Recettear. When either hit 75% I'll bite.

I honestly believe the reason DS gets this rap is because it is horrendous at explaining it's systems. Use wiki's or whatever to learn how that stuff works and the game becomes significantly easier, imho.
The other thing is you have to think about dying as not really a bad thing, just a way of learning what you did wrong. There hasn't been a game that feels this rewarding to succeed in for a very long time.
