What the hell, why not both.

Skyrim is pretty much the exact same thing but a little better in some ways. If you have that, I don't see a great need to ever get Oblivion.
Without Nostalgia? I'd say no.
I found it much better (more action). It still isn't "great" but it is more than good enough.

It's a lot better IMO.

The Witcher 2 has much more action-based combat (disclaimer: I've only played it for about two hours) with you needing to dodge enemies, with manual attacks and everything. So, combat really plays more like an action game than a traditional RPG. DAO on the other hand IS more of a traditional RPG with less focus on action (you can even pause the combat to issue commands) where you just need to position yourself well and can either auto-attack or trigger special abilities, and everything is ruled by the virtual dice.

And now I just sold some foil Go Home Dinosaurs! cards.
IT IS TIME TO BUY ALL THE THINGS.

Based on the games you like , I think you'll do fine with TW2 .

I would like to buy Max Payne 3, but I was wondering if the DRM (Rockstar Social Club) is intrusive or not.

I was severely disappointed in the dark brotherhood quest in Skyrim.
in games
The system hasn't changed since the Summer Sale, but having sale cards drop alongside normal cards in the lead-up to the start of a sale (not all the time but semi-regularly), in addition to having them replace the discount coupons typically received upon crafting a badge, isn't a bad idea.
One of the main reasons why I prefer Oblivion over Skyrim

If you get the Witcher 2 and download the Full Combat Rebalance, just ignore all the in-game tips.
The tips tell you the controls from the base game, and there's no way to change the controls for the mod. For about 30 minutes I was wondering why E wasn't blocking, but instead using a spell
Trying to initially sign in was a fucking nightmare. Which is required to actually play the game, there is no way to bypass it.
I had 3 hours logged in on Steam for Max Payne before I even managed to log in.
I'd say just skip this piece of shit, it's not even a good game. Save yourself the $4 or whatever it's going for now, there's a reason it's that cheap.

Played through To The Moon this afternoon. Was a huge pain in the ass to navigate the characters around the environment but the story was pretty nice and engrossing.
All them feels.
Everyone needs to board this feels train.
HOW do you guys get foils! I have gotten several hundred cards and 1 foil
Me too, me too. I think level increases the chance. My one foil was a GMod one that sold for like 30 cents. ;_;
Iirc, it couldn't create a perfect Peggle 1 experience last time I checked xD it's not worth it.

Is the Max Payne 3 Season Pass worth it? It's $2.39 here.

How sad is it? Will it really make me cry? Because I do not like crying, it makes me sad.
Yes it is.
Don't let the strange gameplay system put you off, you just need to get used to it.
How long had you been sitting on them? Go on, be honest.
I had two, and after 3 months, I finally lowered them in a desperate bid to just get them out the fucking door.
No, it's dead multiplayer only stuff for a bad game.
I didn't like the first Witcher game at all from the little I played, but people in general seem to do. Haven't played 2.

has anyone got sweetfx to work on this game???

Yes, yes it is.
The quests were waaaaay better designed than Skyrim's, which was basically handled like a MMO with nothing but fetch and kill X amount quests. There were also quite a few abilties/skills that were taken out from Oblivion to Skyrim for no real reason other than to make Skyrim even more accessible. Item degradation being taken out also bummed me out. It wasn't the best designed system in Oblivion but the answer isn't the patented Bioware "fuck it take it out completely instead of actually working on improving it" response. The cities were a lot bigger than Skyrim's
Skyrim's improvements were in areas that I feel are not very important for RPGs, especially when these improvements come at the expense of RPG elements. Stuff like graphics, combat (because it's still god awful by action standards) and other cinematic elements. They're at the point now where they've stripped away so much that I don't even consider them RPGs anymore, I just consider them generic "open world" games like I would with something like Assassin's Creed or Grand Theft Auto.
Yes it is , although it started quite slow .

Would PayPal help? I'd be glad to loan you the $10 via PayPal.

All DLC is multiplayer. I'd say it's worth it for the co-op dead men walking mode though since you can play that by yourself, or with just one other person.
You sure your opinion lines up with that guy's?
Give me Theme Hospital on Steam, please! I need it for nostalgia purposes.

It is.
Honestly, I'd have a bit of a problem saying that w2 is better than w1. They're REALLY tied.

Any CK2 DLC recommendation?
Any advice for getting through TW1 combat with as little hassle as possible? I don't mean the usual steel vs silver advice (I don't even have the silver sword yet, but I've read the books), and I intend to explore and sidequest as much as possible (I mean, my first playthrough of New Vegas clocked in at 195 hours, so I like to be thorough), but the combat... feels really unresponsive and random. Is there some way to cheese it?
I found it to be more bittersweet than sad. I don't know, depends how prone you are to crying, but even if you do cry you'll still appreciate the experience of playing it.

I found myself somewhat pleasantly surprised by the few levels I've played of it. I think there are worse ways to spend $8.50, but I'm also not sure if the game is worth much more than that.

Dota 2, Team Fortress 2, and Killing Floor have winter events. Honestly, I don't own any winter themed game, unless you consider snow "wintery".
No feels were delivered in my place, so, everyone can't board that train
OTOH I boarded Journey train and it was glorious, with feels and all. So there are to had feels for everybody, just in different ways.
I don't see how to the Moon can make anyone cry, but then again people are different.
Reposting for new page. Anyone?
