STEAM | December 2014 - Read OP for winter sale questions

Yeup.
I guess I jumped on the r290 deal just in time. Not bad for Team Red.
Aww, you've had the best then. It's all downhill now. I'm always on the lookout and end up a little disappointed when it comes to mood and sense of isolation.
The redesigned version of Higurashi When They Cry (ch. 1) has a store page.
Finally. Feels like it's been green-lit ages ago.
The Winter Sale discounts have been the same as the Autumn Sale discounts for a good few years now, with the obvious exception of stuff that skips the latter and is only discounted during the former (such as the most recent AssCreed).

Thankfully I know where to buy it for $5. And I have a boring and repetitive life that's broken and the worst. I'm sure it will be a very relatable experience c:
It was 33% off a week ago, so it's pretty likely it will match that during the winter sale.
Wait! Was Shantae discounted for 33% in the Autumn sale? I missed it then >.<
You'll like it at first. You're on this isolated world with tons of unique locales and you can run and jump, and there's a story you learn about through little messages.
It's just that the game never opens up, and several things don't work when you need them to. Like for example there's a machine you have to activate that lets you move things with these little robot arms, but it only works half the time. I also got stuck on the side of a mountain without a jetpack that I would need to get back to the game's main path.
It's an interesting idea for a game to be sure. They just didn't do a whole lot with it beyond the basic premise.
Lifeless Planet was cool, if overly long. Speed is on...well...speed.

I dunno, I love minimalistic story telling like that, more often than not, I love ideas and art direction, as long as the heart is there, as long as it doesn't control miserably or crash all the time, or I run into issues too often, I'm generally pretty lenient. Thanks for the second opinion though, I honestly just looked at a steam review(lol) that pretty much said exactly what you did.

In one page you went from threatening to ban me to wanting to give me a free game. I don't know who to trust anymore, friend. You turn more than Big Show.

Thanks for the giveaway. I think that code had been used though. Still, it's the thought that counts.
If you still want it, it's being given away free at mmobomb.com, but as you've noticed, they are having issues with duplicate keys, so you might have to try a few times to get a working one.

No, but sadly, it's been spoiled to hell and back, so it wont have the same effect on me as it would otherwise :c

Assuming it's from the MMOBomb giveaway, there's seems to be a problem with duplicate codes. Refreshing the page and trying to claim the code again gave a different unused code which worked for me.
my two recommendations (which you don't own) are dark souls and stalker
both games deal with very oppressive loneliness, dread, despair, fragility, that sort of thing
both are AAMAZING games you should play at one point in your life
not really great answers right now, but if you can wait a couple weeks you should grab both during the sale

Still looks hideous.
Nice! It's finally almost here then I'm guessing? Been so long since I first heard that it was coming to Steam.

Like I mentioned about with the entirety of the Souls series, I've crushed them on consoles, plats on all three on PS3 ; - ;
Also, STALKER. There's a few of'em-- Where do I start and is there controller support?
Seems to be the full game.
I played a bit of it. I don't think it's very good at this point, but it's EA so it might improve, and either way it's a free +1 I guess.
Well... Like half a dozen unique locales and a lot of desert.
It's one of those games that I liked at first, felt indifferent about when I finished it and have learned to hate over time. The story is fucking stupid too.
Game has a lot more to offer than just MUH FEELS, so I'll still say go for it
:V

I guess I'll give it a go for $5 or less. It went down to $5 for a daily over the summer, I think, right..?
It's a $5 deal like every month, if not on Steam then in one of the 2K sales on various other sites, you'll have a chance to grab it soon enough.
Why dont the games i want go on for massive discounts :|
baldurs gate , planesscape torment , FF 7
I got BG and PT for less than $2 each, how much more discounted are you expecting?
I have no idea what FF7 usually goes for, my interest in returning to that game is pretty low these days.
i'd play shadow of chernobyl and installed the complete mod. it's kind of a resource hog but i think you can turn stuff off. if not, i actually play with oblivion lost mod which isn't as full of features but runs better on my computer
clear sky is just not that great (i don't think it's that bad either, but still) and i haven't played enough call of prypyat to recommend it
i'm not sure about controller support but i'm inclined to think that no. i don't think i'd recommend it in any case. it's a game that requires fairly good accuracy since the guns are so inaccurate for the better part of the game.
also i just thought of one more, a favorite of mine, the void. it goes for really cheap often (like 2.50 or something) and it's amazing. again, the things you mentioned, it's a very alienating game with a lot of hidden and confusing mechanics and very punishing difficulty and similarly unfriendly characters. also great art direction and great sound design
generally a fantastic, weird and moody game
agreed
They couldn't have picked a worse actress for Sarah Connor.

I bought a big pack with all of them off of GamersGate for like... $2.50 over the summer?
http://www.gamersgate.com/DDB-DBAMC/dungeons-and-dragons-anthology-the-master-collection
There's the bundle, it's a great value, honestly. Probably worth it at it's full price. It's not the enhanced stuff, but I think it has all the expansions and all that good stuff for all the games that have them. Check around winter sale time, might get a drop on it c:
The Void looks pretty great. Thank you : o
like Emilia Clarke
just kidding
edit: ok I am confused by that trailer.. granted I haven't seen the last two terminator movies but.. what? also Genisys or whatever? learn2greek
edit 2: so it's the same premise of the first movie? wut
I picked up the same set from GG, and it's DRM-free which is cool. PT was the first I played and I enjoyed it's focus on narrative rather than combat.
The only issue with the master collection is that you have to download the entire thing at once, which is kinda annoying if you only want to play one of the games. Especially since GG doesn't have the fastest download speeds around. They used to sell the games individually, which I how I got the BG and Icewind Dale games. Those were actually the GoG versions.

It was her lol.like Emilia Clarke

I don't think having seen the last two movies would really clear anything up.
But let me break it down for you. The producers of this movie realized that there are diminishing returns on ruining the Terminator franchise by making new terrible movies. So they set out to destroy the franchise once and for all by retconning the actual good movies in the series.
What if instead of all of the events of the first movie happening, as soon as Kyle Reese arrives in the past a completely different sequence of events happens, because time travel. That's the premise.

I could name one, but I fear the repercussions.
