I guess I'll use my $2.00 from cards to get Binding of Isaac. Thanks for the feedback.
Joy2Key is great. There's also the option of waiting until the Rebirth version, which is going to be completely reprogrammed and not using Flash, so it should be more stable and have controller support. I think they've already announced it will be a PS+ game too? I might be making that up. E3 was a crazy time.
Probably should have mentioned that in my original recommendation.
i think people are more upset at the long wait for a 2nd episode when expectations were thinking shorter delays. So now all the people mad at waiting are mad at the sale.
On gamersgate.
Both the DLCs and the Gold (Complete Edition) are 75% off.
If you decide to buy the 2 dlcs from GG individually do note that you'll have to redeem the Mindgames expansion 1st otherwise the Gold dlc won't recognize the base game.
Metroidvania
People called Romanes they go the house?
Well, the expansion is going to add some things that make the beginning of the game even more information-overwhelming to some extent, but I'd say that it adds a lot to the game, especially some difficulty with several expansion specific missions.
But the added unit depth/choices make it worth starting from scratch, imo. You can always choose to only play the base game, and get a feel for things before 'starting fresh' with an unknown game.
Also, always be building satellites.

It can be and it apparently is.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
Played a bit of Sleeping Dogs on the PS3 thanks to Plus, and even though I love the setting, the game didn't really grab me. Is there a Gaffer determined on conving me why I should play it? I'm not really a sandboxy kinda guy.
...reminds me, I really want a Yakuza game on PC. Binary Domain's port wasn't terrible if my sources are correct, now give me Kazuma & Co, Sega!

And I played vanilla isaac for about 50 hours before activating anything on Steam.
In other words, yes.
It has replay value for sure.

Did they take the orignal DE HR off steam?
SD wasn't that great. For a game in the genre, one of the better ones, but the side quests were few and repetitive, and there's too much of a focus on (poor) gunplay in the story missions.
And if you're not a crime sandbox guy, Saints Row IV should be considered.

I wish I knew. I haven't tried this yet, but I will, but does Ctrl-W work? I figure Alt-F4 and Winkey-D don't do anything, they don't for me when that happens.

I'm not really a sandbox guy either, with the exceptions of Just Cause 2 and RF:G. I really liked Sleeping Dogs though. Pretty standard crime story but it was done well enough to keep me interested in continuing the story, game was absolutely gorgeous, and I couldn't not buy it after watching Vinny Caravella reach a state of pure joy normally reserved children on Christmas in his Giant Bomb Quick Looks.
I played it almost completely straightforward though. Did some side missions because the melee combat was fun enough in a Batman sort of way, but I didn't do any random messing about in the world.
Is this just gonna be the digital Batman AO on PC or will all versions be on sale?

Where have you been my long lost brother.
The upgrade to the Director's Cut isn't recommended right now, unless they patched it. The game is running on an older version of the engine with a significant amount of glitches.
You are actually paying Square for a downgrade.
Yes. Plays great with mouse and keyboard as well. One of the best games I played this year.
I almost never touch the side missions in games anymore so I can't vouch for their quality.
Chivalry has by far the greatest voice emotes of any game I've ever played.
I missed lopping off heads after charging in with a battle cry. Need to go back to it.
I really want to get back to chivalry but there aren't any servers in asia anymore ( or at least the last time i checked)
i was so hyped for the game prior to release but after the reviews i forgot that this game ever existed.

So even if i have the EW expansion i can choose EU or EW versions of the game, like in the menu or something?

Yeah looks like it was. Look in the buy/sell thread. Some people are selling them there.

Emits this inane laughter. I love charging into battle with a group of people maniacally cackling.
You had to do them (I think) to level up your rank or whatever, so you could purchase better vehicles for keeps. I just wanted to ride around on a fast sportbike.
What kind of pc do you have? I've never had any problems performance wise

Other games are able to be played to completion upon release.
I would argue that it's different for episodic games and season passes, where the content is set to be released on a specified schedule and isn't considered "complete" until the season ends.
In these situations, the developer/publisher are simply price gouging their most excited fans, and that's no way to conduct business. Especially when the PC is the only platform where you are forced to buy the entire season in advance. You can buy the episodes piece meal on every other platform. The whole thing is bullshit, and in combination with their poor handling of technical issues, it's why I will never buy a Telltale game at release.

even on a 2600k oced to 4.4ghz and a 780 ti Classified incoming?
Identical!
get a room you filthy folk
It's terrible on anything low end. Very CPU intensive for what the game is doing visually. Even on decent computers you can get a lot of slowdown at times but when I played on my old laptop it would just go into bullet time mode any time there were a lot of enemies or projectiles on screen.
Bought Sword of the Stars, can't buy expansions for some reason on GAMERSGATE

Thanks man, you just saved me $5. I was contemplating getting it. I have the regular version with the dlc.
Edit: Does the Sleep Dogs collection contain all the DLC? It looks to me like the DLC pack includes more, what am I missing?
I bought Mind Games with Blue Coins. Those things do help out from time to time.

Wait, what? I just bought it and am installing now, but any additional details on this?
Interesting, I never knew it had trouble on a lot of machines. Quick google search shows that that is definitely the case.

I refuse to believe anyone could 100% Isaac without cheating. I just refuse after my own 52 hrsIdentical!
Same here, I was just about to buy it (it was sitting in my cart) before I read that post.

Disney can go screw themselves.
50% off on KOTOR 2 when it's been 75% off for the last few years.
Hell even earlier this year if I recall. Hell not even a discount on the Star Wars pack (not that I would have bought it anyway). Considering KOTOR isn't even in the top selling page I hope they learn for next time.
