Anyone have any good hidden gem stealth game suggestions? I've been itching for a stealth fix for awhile now... Missed the styx deal early in the sale, hoping to see it in the encore. Any other notable games of late?

Anno games' Tages DRM is outdated information right?

State of Decay is not a stealth game as such but stealth smashing zombie brains into concrete is pretty satisfying
. It was on sale a few days ago so it might come back on sale before the end. Worth considering anyway.Eh, really? When?

At first glance, I always keep thinking of EA as Electronic Arts rather than Early Access.

No, it's a nice little game, but far from best game ever.
Wow. I hadn't heard of Lords of Xulima until it was mentioned here on gaf, now I have yet another game added to my wishlist.
It's okay Frosty, your time will come.

Ghostbusters for 2 bucks? Shoud we take this as a sign that the licensing will cause it to get pulled?

I'll cut you.
Strange, I'm pretty sure I checked my wishlist this morning and see it on 50%. Or was I seeing wrong? I still got a flu my eyes kinda blurry. Better sleep. Thanks!

The "look at me I'm so self aware" tutorial alone disqualifies it.

Some things are just not meant to be, my friend.
However, at least the time of GFWL-less Dark Souls came:

Had a weird bug with Idlemaster, idling for Cognition cards. Had one drop and then nothing. 12 hours later it said it was finished and moved to the next game. Still have 5 cards that didn't drop. Weird thing is that in the library it says i played the game for 12hrs but the badge page lists only 0.2 hours.
That webm really reminds me that I need to play more Dark Souls AND get good at it.

Is there a way to prevent Windows putting my PC into standby/sleep while Steam is downloading? Without completely disabling the auto-sleep function of Windows.
Well my computer decided to die on me... Greatest sale so far!
It just couldn't contain the awesomeness of the sale!
Also, Muito Obrigado/many thanks for the gifts!
Span Left > Settings > PC Settings > Power & Sleep. In Windows 8, at least.
E: If you have an Acer/Gateway it's as easy as hitting the battery icon and changing the battery profiles from there.

I know about those settings, but they only allow me to specify a time period before the PC sleeps or disable it, which I said I want to avoid. There are many programs (for example BitTorrent clients) that keep Windows awake when they have downloads active. Steam doesn't seem to have that option.
1404 doesn't have Tages anymore, not sure about 2070. It seems to have SolidShield according to this site.
Woop. My bad. 2:30 AM. Time to sleep. Try the app Coffee.

Activation limit is much worse than always online IMO. You can play once your internet goes up with online DRM, but with activation DRM you'll forever lose your ability to play when you used them all up(whether from hardware malfunction to forgetting to deactivate), and publishers don't give activations back most of the time.

Idlemaster didn't drop any cards for me for several hours (like... 3-5, can't remember) earlier today. Maybe steam had some sort of dropping issue, nothing idlemaster related, we just happened to 'notice' due to it.

Am I high or has Enslaved been cheaper than five bucks at some point?

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.
That's pretty strange. If your badge page doesn't show your play time it means your in-game time wasn't being tracked by Steam properly (resulting in no card drops). 12 hours makes sense because that's the amount of time Idle Master will wait for a game to drop all of it's cards before giving up and moving on to the next game. It's kind of a built in sanity check so that it won't try to idle the same game for weeks on end (in case you leave it on while going on vacation or something). There are actually games that take almost that long to drop their cards which is why it's not something more reasonable like 3-4 hours.
Yeah, definitely gotta be a bug in how Steam was tracking playtime. Idle Master looks at the badges page (not your profile or anything else) so if the badges page says there are still cards to be dropped, it'll keep on idling until it doesn't (or 12 hours, whichever comes first)

I think at one point it was in a bundle with Inversion for $7.49 at Amazon

If anyone is interested in hearing how I spent my day, you can read all about it here.
HINT: it's all about the new version of Idle Master.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
There was a span of time where you could apply $2.50 worth of Amazon credit to games that were on sale for $5. Dark Souls, Enslaved, and Marlow Briggs were some of them. It was a coupon deal? A voucher deal? I don't remember.
But does it make it possible to play Steam games on Chromebooks?

It was "Buy a game, get a voucher of 5 dollars later". And Enslaved was bundled with another game that was region locked to US
Oh yeah and ATTN: You who have lower end rigs and want to buy Enslaved: Don't, it's completely broken on lower settings: certain events require things like walls breaking which never happen on lower settings because walls don't have any physics attached.
ya, I had in mind on PC, and not only well known ones, but some that are overlooked or not talked about enough, like Shadows, Heretic Kingdoms, meaning newish ones.
I still hope someone played all FATE games and can give opinion on newer ones.

Sacred 2 probably, should give it more thought
Nox is also one of my favourites, probably Nox or Sacred 2, one of them
Yours?

But Origin In Game overlay doesn't work if Raptr is running in background and i hate that.I can buy from Origin using Hola? It's cheaper in the Mexico store

Origin doesn't ban or whatever when you buy using VPN to get cheaper prices. Do it.
That is what I did.
