Really contemplating on getting Crimes and Punishment. I wished this showed up during Speevy's Flash deals contest.

Took long enough.
I voted for Ultimate General instead since I already own both KR0 and Hatoful Boyfriend
It's really a win-win-win scenario since all of the games in the community choice are well received this time.

Child of Light is cheaper on the eShop
Not in NA, it's not. Besides, that also requires you to have a WiiU and not care about the DLC (if I remember correctly from earlier in this thread).

DLC isn't really worth factoring into the equation. The only piece of note is Golem's Plight and it's just a single side-quest -- everything else is just fluff like extra gems or skins.

So all I want for Endless Dungeon is a way to see the current occupants of any given room.
I'm having an amazing playthrough, getting deep, leveling everything up... and just lost a character because I thought he was fighting one dude but was actually fighting about 7... six of them little frog things that were hidden by a wall... and even after they killed my guy (who I only healed enough to kill the giant I did see, I was running a tight ship at sub-100 hp to conserve food), they ran into the next room and were all stacked on top of each other so I had no idea how many there were.
I killed them all, and there's another recruit on this level to replace my fighter, but... yuck. It's still stupid. Just let me have a status screen that shows some basic enemy stats. Even a list.
Thankfully I'm really rocking this playthrough so hopefully I'll be okay, but it's a major, major setback due to lack of information I should have easy access to.
(Still an amazing game)

I played through Broforce over the last few days. My recommendation would be to avoid the game for now, in its current state of development. Let me start with what it does right: the game feels awesome. It's really fun to run around, jump, climb walls, knife dudes, shoot dudes, splode dudes, pinball around giant explosion chains, and it's amazing how many Bros they have in the game all of which have pretty different playstyles. So, that's great. And the boss fights have a lot of variety and take different strategies. Very fun.
... but that's about where the game ends. The current campaign is maybe 2 hours long, being generous. Most of the levels are pretty much more of the same. It feels very hollow, as a result, because you're not doing anything besides the core gameplay of run jump shoot splode. When you beat the campaign you're just dumped back on the world map with no ending screen at all. Almost every mode is "alpha". Most of the modes are geared towards local or online multiplayer--there's deathmatch, time trial race, a bunch of custom level things. I checked their update history and they appear to be adding stuff every month, but it doesn't look like they've added anything to the campaign since April or so and mostly it seems like they're focusing on adding characters and polishing movement and bugfixing, as well as adding more superfluous modes. I feel like they've got a game that is decent passable fun for a few hours, but they're not doing anything to take it to the next level. Like, they've added a lot of stuff built around user-made levels and rating and subscribing and it looks like they're going to integrate user levels into the campaign... but, like... I dunno. It just feels pretty samey.
Also, it's kind of funny, but it's not as funny as it thinks it is. The ironic patriotism thing is cool upfront but doesn't really go anywhere. It's too bad.
I'll be checking back in in six months or whenever the final release is to see if they've added more to it.
PS The free spinoff Expendabros game is only available until tomorrow. This is your last chance: http://store.steampowered.com/app/312990/ I feel like playing this for free is going to be a way better bet for you than buying the full game for actual real money.

Expect extra copies from packs. Traders are already 'abusing' this. (Open region locked pack for cheap/free with VPN, send extras gifts back which will be sold for profit)
So I finally own Final Fantasy XIII. (Normally I'm all about waiting for the 75% off or better sales, but I wanted to play this one and I figure it won't drop lower than this for at least a little while longer still.) Probably won't touch it until I finish MGR:R (just reached the sewers last night). As of now, MGR:R is easily my Steam GOTY.
Wait, is that only to grab Expendabros? Or will it disappear from my game list tomorrow? I haven't played it yet because I wanted to finish the main game first, then watch the Expendable movies, then play the game to get maximum appreciation.
Yeah, I know, but strictly speaking the item you buy isn't the bonus gifts: it's the multi-pack sub itself, which is region-locked. Admittedly I could have clarified this to begin with.

Well there's no reason why they couldn't remove it from your library, but historically when stuff is removed from the store, it stays in your library. I'm not sure if this is the kind of free game that only stays in your library while installed or the kind that stays in your library even when you delete it--JaseC could probably clarify that much.

Congrats man. It sure has made using Steam more enjoyable for me
Free on Demand games only stick around post-uninstall if you own DLC for them. That being said, I was talking to Devolver about a week ago and it said it'd look into making The Expendabros and the Fork Parker game +1s some time next year, so the game may return in the not-too-distant future.

Awesome stuff man. The changes over the last two years are crazy.

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.
I know, right? I have a code copy of every version that's been released, and it's crazy how simplistic the initial versions were. I can only imagine what it will look like in another two year's time.

This is the only DLC I'm missing. I swore to myself not to enter any giveaways until I've cleared a significant part of my backlog. I even tempted myself by thinking that with this DLC I could clear the full Dishonored game from my backlog.

yes.
guys, buy my foils, seriously, it's sale time! why can't I sell foils, even dirty cheap ones (._.)
this bug was hitting me every steam sale but this one, maybe because I bought less games? (><)
Usually cards appear later, not always, but most of the time, if it's any consolation.

This was a fixed contest so we don't find out about Halo Anniversary being on Steam while Strinkles still gets to look like a cool guy!

So glad I spent $2 on that
I'm also on the verge of buying FF XII however I'm not so sure about that yet considering that the promised "fix" didn't fix all of the technical issues yet and probably never will get fixed at all. Considering this and the harsh response this game received i don't know I would ever finish the game.
In addition, I also just beat MGR:R and really enjoyed it and will probably start my next playthrough of it soon. I had to replay the initial boss fight right away just because of how awesome and over the top that fight is especially in the context of the Metal Gear universe. If it weren't for some issues with the camera i could have said that i loved everything about it, which is odd because i can't recall having similiar issues with Bayonettta at all (but my memory might deceive me about this one because everything i recall about Bayonetta is perfection).
