Given the steam tax for mobile games that has been going on, is it going to have $50 DLC heros?

Speaking of which, Tiny Thief is now free on ios.

You obviously have not played the game.

Haha.

When I played it, it was like... some sort of... Metal Gear Solid sequel.
I did the 0 kills (except bosses).

Which is kind of a shame cause I thought the guns had a great feel to them.

I haven't played my copy yet, but from what I've seen it looks like Enslaved with a better framerate.
As to whether that's "any good", I don't know... depends on what you thought of Enslaved, I guess. :p

Runs well but the texture quality is a bit random in some areas. There are moments where the 360 version textures might be better than the port but the game runs smooth and no issues besides some texture quality here and there.

Went for Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut. Started it on 360 but didn't get anywhere really. Not sure why. Probably fps on sticks.

The whole aesthetic was the reason I was turned off from it initially as well, but it turned out to be a complete non-factor by the time I actually started playing. I think the music helped in big part for that, game's soundtrack is pretty good.

Recommendation on the DLC: buy it now, but keep it as a gift in your inventory. I don't think the game's worth starting off with it, complete as much of the vanilla content as possible then activate the DLC as the additions might end up being frustrating more than anything without a decent enough item pool to play from.

Sweet, I'll do that. I actually didn't remember I could keep it in my inventory and activate it later, thanks for the tip!

Awww. Deus Ex: Director's Cut discount is not added with the discount you would normally get if you own it and the Missing Link DLC. Booooooo.

If anyone ends up with a bunch of Snow Globe doubles, you should post in this discussion on the trading card page. Traded for 2 of the cards I needed in less than 5 minutes, I wish trades were always this quick.

I know Binding of Isaac is supposed to be very good but the idea of playing with a crying baby on stages with blood, piss and shit scattered around always turned me off a little, even though I do enjoy my fair share of disturbing content in games. Anyway, I think I'll finally grab it, the base game is currently less than $1 in my local store

I was of the same mind but playing it bothered me even more than I thought it might. I found it a distinctly disconcerting and uncomfortable experience :/. Not that I'm trying to put you off the game; you might take to it like so many others seem to although it is yet to take me like that, sadly.

In TW your units gain veterancy and some additional abilities. Also your generals and agents (spy, monk, ect) have an unlock tree. For a general you can increase his battle stats or increase the bonuses he gives to nearby troops. For agents (there are 3-4 types) it is more of a specialisation. Do I want my spy to be better at killing other agents or sabotaging the enemy? Do I want my monk to better convert the enemy to my religion or give more bonuses to my troops?
You can also decide who marries your clan leader/children/generals. For the rest it is more "managing" (very little) your settlements and choosing what to build and uniting the land under your banner.

I've played a varying amount of real-time and turn-based strategy games and TW:S2 is one of my favourites with nearly 500 hours played.

Thanks for the overview. I am very tempted to buy it now.

So I'm guessing that if I buy Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut it creates a new entry in my library instead of upgrading my existing copy of Deus Ex: Human Revolution?

I had 37 games on Steam before the Summer Sale, I'm currently sitting at 81 and will probably hit 100 before this sale is over
Click to expand...

I bought my first steam game 7 months ago - 1€ for Rome: Total War. Before that I had a few bundles in my account.

Before summer sale this year I had probably like 100 games
Before autumn sale (last month) I had 450 games
Now I'm sitting at 608 games and counting

I also hadn't touched 89% my games (not even launched) before autumn sale. Though recently having bought finally a PC that runs the games that I've bought I have started playing some games on a decent paces and also have started idling games for cards too so the % has decreased since.

Holy smokes. Took me seven years to reach 372 games.

What I'm wondering is: should I get the DLC too? I don't want to miss the discount but it looks like something I'd want to have after I'm good at the game since it adds a lot of content and it doesn't sound optimal for a first playthrough. I read that there's a fanmade launcher that allows you to disable the DLC but I don't know if that would mess with achievements, saves and the like.

It's better to start with the base game since the DLC adds many new items, enemies, etc, making the game a little harder. Even the level layouts and conditions change.

To be fair Camel Master probably spent less than $1000 to get those games.

I bought 273 games on Steam this year and paid $208. That's 3 retail games including tax.

Goddamn. Here is me thinking my 240 game library was fairly large.

Do you mean increased your game count by that much? Pretty sure if you bought games on Steam and not dlc that math just wouldn't add up. I wish that were the case, like the golden era of the fabled 90% off of yore.

I've only bought Monaco so far. Nothing else has caught my interest that I either don't already own or that I know will be two times cheaper by summer sale
