Moirai was an interesting experience.

No, to the contrary! See, you have already admitted I give good recommendations, it is just that you have bad a priori vs. free games!

Looking at the Steam games you own which you've never played (or idled):
Astray: played this the other day, it's an "okay at best" first person horror game that takes like 2-3 hours to beat. it has a bioshock 1 pipe puzzle in it though
Contradiction: it's more like 4-5 hours but you should play it anyway
Crow: isn't very good, but can be finished in 1-2 hours
Dinner Date: no comment
Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise: lol
Hexcells: actually good, can last anywhere between 2-4 hours
Super Amazing Wagon Adventure: haven't played it, but i've heard good things and a single playthrough is supposed to be short
Without Within: very short visual novel
Year Walk: interesting horror adventure game, can be finished between 1-3 hours. it has an achievement you can unlock by playing it on new year's day, which is kinda cool

It's about 3-6 hours long.
You used a flash grenade when he transformed
What does that do?
It's not an actual... RE4/5 reference... something

So on the assumption I'm going into this Seal with the chance to pick up some gems and really only one AAA game release from this year, should I choose:
- Civ VI
- Total War Warhammer
- Stellaris
- Civ VI
- Total War Warhammer
- Stellaris
There aren't flash grenades in DS. Fire bombs though.
Stellaris would get my vote, though I've had lots of fun with all three. It's not as mechanically complex as other Paradox games yet, though, so don't expect that.

Thats what HE said. Time for some fair play, don't ya think?
Which style you prefer? Turn based? Real time?
I think Stellaris is the worst of those three. My favorite one is Total Warhammer, but honestly, all of them are pretty good.

I've played the Civ's so I get the gist there. I enjoy them, but I'd probably lean toward waiting til next summer on that one and see how far it comes down.
I only recently saw TW Warhammer and saw the praise for it on here, so it's piqued my interest. I have a few of the TW games but I haven't spent a lot of time on them. I like a good RTS though, despite the fact I usually suck at them.
Don't know enough about Stellaris, and I actually have Sins of the Solar Empire in my library but haven't done much with it but play the tutorial. Are they similar (ie, RTS in space?).
I think I'd lean toward TW, but it sounds like the DLC might make it a more complete game, so it's likely even with a sale it might be north of $50 for the game + DLC.
Hmmm.
About TW and the DLC: They are a bit overpriced but the factions are really great. Completely unique and a lot of replayablity to the game, even changing the campaign.
Also: Even if you don't own the DLC, they appear as your enemies in the campaign. You just can't use them (someone can correct me if i'm wrong)
Honestly, i have about 60 hours in the game and i only played two factions. Even without the DLC it's completely worth it. Even being overpriced, i do think they are worth it too, though.
It's also the most accessible Total War game to date (the best one, too.)
Stellaris is an RTS in space, but one focused much more on exploration, diplomacy and storytelling than outright combat. There's plenty of combat to be had if you want but I much prefer investigating space anomalies and reading the events they produce, managing diplomatic relations with my neighbors and galactic power players.
TW is definitely worth it even without the DLC. Tons on content in just the base game and it's a lot of fun.
I doubt anyone thinks Sega is bailing on PC, they have very a strong presence on the system with strategy games in particular. We just fear them giving up on porting the classic console games. Of the Japanese publishers who have a Steam presence they are the most anaemic at porting classics right now..

Finished Dishonored II, that was one fine video game, second to none level design this year.
Yes. Shorter though not as cool as To The Moon though, it acts as more of a setup to the next game I believe.
Only about an hour long, yeah. I hated it, though. It was a huge disappointment after To The Moon.

Thank you for these responses! I'll wait to see what the Seal brings. Think I'll lean toward TW and hope there's a decent deal on it!
Played through Firewatch, game 35 for this year.
It's a well told story and the dialogue between H and D is excellent for the most part. What's bit of a bummer is that while Henry's relationship with Delilah chances with your dialogue choices, none of it matters in the end. The big beats of the story are set in stone as is the eventual conclusion to their relationship.
The story itself, well, I guess I was expecting something else with the way it was building, only to be a little disappointed by the reveal. That's not to say that it was a bad story, but I guess it felt a little obvious in the end.
Now I still have Superhot left of this years short games I need to play before goty time. Unless I can think of anything else that I own already.

He asked me about that yesterday... and still hasn't bought it. Tsk, tsk!

On my 1070/i5-2500k I got a locked 60 for the most part, few dips and trouble spots, with a mix of high and very high settings (textures the only think on Ultra). It definitely runs better now but it's still rough especially if you want to play at all the way Ultra.
You guys think removal is that likely? $29.99CAD is a bit higher than I would like to pay, but if it's likely the game's getting removed I'll definitely grab it.
Also, Activision's Transformers games are all on sale too. Coincidence, or likely they'll be delisted as well?
Always assume the worst when it comes to Acti's licensed stuff. My go-to example is that the Bond games disappeared in January 2013 even though the contract wasn't due to expire until the end of 2014.
I'm almost positive that there are male gay characters as well. At least one I definitely remember. Back in Skyrim male and female characters could marry both male and female NPCs.
Good to know. I might as well grab TMNT then.
