Don't listen to "Get the Drake Sword" remarks though.

I haven't seen a lot of talk around here about the Stanley Parable or Sir, You Are Being Hunted. Any opinions?
The discounts, so far, aren't very deep, though.

Entirely possible, but that'll just make it more satisfying once you show it who's boss!
Sir, You Are Being Hunted is already pretty awesome. I've only played it a little because I don't want to burn out before release like I did with Don't Starve. If you like survival games or stuff like STALKER, I'd definitely recommend it.

I think Activision would be mad not to put Destiny on PC same goes for Ubi and the Division (plus Massive are somewhat competent PC devs). Konami are a bit bonkers but fingers crossed the Rising port comes out soonish and sells like gangbusters and then they can't say no.
Destiny is a given considering its very nature (not to mention the leaked contract), but I'd be wary of taking Kojima's "MGS5 PC isn't a priority at the moment" as a green light. I think Konami greenlit a PC port of MGR so it'd have a relatively cheap but -- most importantly -- reliable way of measuring how much interest in MGS exists on the PC side.

Hmmm...did I miss FTL? I've been waiting for that one to go on sale for a while now. I'm sure it will show up as a daily anyway. I guess I'll finally bite on Papers Please though. I want to see what all the fuss is about.

No difficulty setting, and as Gazoinks said above, it saves automatically where you are. The game has real consequences if you fuck up with an NPC. Strictly speaking, there IS a character who will allow you to absolve your sins if you make any NPC hostile but he can't bring any back you have killed. And if you accidentely make him hostile then you are screwed for the rest of your playthrough.

Dark Souls bought and downloaded and no time to play it lol...Saturday I should get some time to play... I wanted Skyrim and Dark Souls now I don't know what to buy...
Its very likely most of us will feel the urge to go back to Dark Souls at some point though.

Aren't only the sequels of Destiny guaranteed for PC according to that leaked doc?

probably, this is the second time I buy a <5 game (brand new) which requires Steam and once you redeem the code you can't lend it to a friend, because once the game it's installed it asks him for the activation code you previously redeemed, so it won't work.
I do the same with Demon's Souls on PS3 from time to time. You should definitely add that to your pick up list if you haven't already.
Remember: If the skeletons beat you immediately upon reaching Firelink, you are bad at this game.
(that was a joke)
I'm pretty sure those skeletons are responsible for the most ragequits in the entire game.
Other random Dark Souls tips (spoilered for people who want to go in blind):
-As has been mentioned, the Drake Sword is pretty handy. Does a lot of damage early on, but don't use it as a crutch and DO NOT UPGRADE IT. Its damage doesn't scale at all, so it becomes obsolete quickly. Use it while you build a better weapon.
-Immediately after arriving on Firelink, explore the place, there's a bunch of stuff. I like to spend all the Souls I can and then dash into the graveyard and grab the items there (and likely get murdered by skeletons). The Zweihander and Winged Spear in particular are great weapons.
-Get a shield with good stability and 100% phys block as soon as you can. Keep your shield up as much as you can, but remember your stamina recovers faster when not defending.
-If you get the Master Key as your Gift, you can take the lift under Firelink into New Londo, then head into the tower next door and get into the Valley of The Drakes. Follow the cliff for a while and you'll see two items guarded by a dragon corpse. Grab them and you'll get murdered by the zombie dragon, but that's okay because the Astora Straight Sword and Dragon Crest shield are really good!

Repost cause this is sound advice. Buy those games people.
I don't have the PDF on hand, but I may be confusing the PC release with the PS3 release... which, come to think of it, isn't happening.

Same. It is always interesting to see how long I last before rage-quitting due to some bullshit death. Demon Souls is still brutal.

That gives me a great idea.

i hate that dog, ugh.
Sure, we all will return if 2 is not better that 1...
I that's why it's always has a special place in my heart. Though I tend to treat it like a dark fantasy Mega Man. Got to do the stages in the right order to get the good Demon'S Souls and items first to make shit easier on yourself.
Oh no, no, no, no. I can see it now. Dark Saoirse's: Prepare to Ronan Edition.

Thinking about ZOE HD and ICO/Shadow of the Colossus HD
I'm feeling that desire to play through Dark Souls again, I think I may satiate that with some Demons after my Last of Us play through.
I don't get it, you don't play classic games again?
.
The Drake Sword has high damage relative to how early you can get it, trivializing most early enemies so you don't need to learn how to play. The drawback is that once it stops being "easy mode" you're going to get your ass kicked if you don't learn how to play.
The reinforced club, fire axe, or other early weapons all have lower damage but make equally quick work of enemies if you know how to play. Their drawbacks are... um....

I swear that dog is everywhere. Is there a story behind it?
Robert J. Sullivan

Yeah, I'd honestly say he's probably the hardest boss in the game, because you're pretty underequipped when you fight him and he will kill you without a second thought. Best strategy imo, is to run for the stairs, take the dogs up ASAP, and then go up onto the ledge next to the stairs and hit the demon when he can't get at you.
It sure is satisfying beating him up when he appears as a normal enemy later though.
Oh yeah... I really need to get that eventually.
I always forget that they fixed it.
