I concur.

I have a problem. Where is Steamaholics Anonymous?!

Might get lower on Steam but you can get Papers, Please at the Humble store right now for $6.66. Just a friendly fyi if you didn't know.
It's about that price on the Steam app anyways. I was hoping maybe a $5 price tag or something. Or maybe someone selling a key in the B/S/T thread for that price.

Heh, probably would have been a good idea for me to check that first. $.03 savings really isn't that much...lol!
BF2 =/= BF4. BF2 has been out for years and years.

BF2 and BF4 are not the same game
I was thinking of the new Company of Heros. All the war games blend together for me, plus I'm dumb.

Braid was such a great game. I will admit though that I did have to check one or two guides for some of those levels. Very unique and I really hope a sequel is in the works.
If you never finished it, I'd highly recommend it even if you have to "cheat" here and there to get past the difficult puzzles.
Damn it, SteamGAF...
Couldn't resist all the positive talk about Rogue Legacy in here.
And goodmorning. Or evening, whatever.
Haha, sucker. Rogue Legacy is a terrible game and everybody hates it.
Just kidding. You're going to have fun.

Ouh yeah, BF2 got my vote!
But i heard it has problems recognizing the Key and it doesn't let you play online?

That is certainly a reason, not a very good one though.
Still better than the travesties Ubi commit on their franchises.

Not sure if I should even bother with Battlefield 2 even though it has my vote.
Only BF game I have enjoyed was Bad Company 2. That was just the perfect mix gameplay compared to 3 and 4.

The other reason is that the Japanese are aware of how distant their island is from the English-speaking world, so they typed in all caps to approximate how loudly they'd have to shout for you to hear them.

Okay, grabbed TWD, Witcher 2, and Rogue Legacy. Still enjoying The Secret World, also!
Rogue will maybe get some play tomorrow if I can manage.

upgrades
cant amass a fortune for your lineage if you die all the time
^more proof that Windows 8 should be avoided like the plague
Much better, this can be the official reason from now on.
Odd, I was playing it on 8.1 the other day no problems at all.

Snowglobe 7/2 anyone? Useless for me..
And was KotOR II as amazing as the first..?

Well early on, try to get the Shinobi/Hokage as they deal some pretty crazy damage. They become useless later on when your crit hit chance/damage increases, but early on they're fantastic for boss fights/gold farming. I'd say always keep an eye on the new runes/pieces of gear you're getting and keep upgrading your carry capacity stat as needed with those. Vampirism runes/gear can be handy early on since health is scarce.
One thing I would say you *shouldn't* bother leveling up early on (costs quite a bit) is the one to reduce Charon's gold penalty (minus the first point you need to put into it to get the Hokage, I believe). Or really don't bother with the gold increasing stat either (also crazy expensive early on). And I don't remember how easy it is/if you can keep building up the castle for better stats without picking it, but I'd say avoid the Spelunker/Miner class if possible. I really focused on Barbarians and Hokages early on so went health/armor/melee damage...but the mages all get really solid as their stats go up too. In that regard, just figure out if you wanna sling spells or do melee damage. There really aren't too many "useful" magic spells though.

I'll have to mess around with it. Can't quite pinpoint the issue since compatibility modes didn't do anything. I get the steam box saying "preparing to launch sequence" for a brief time then that disappears and nothing.
I don't know what any of this means but I'm excited to find out, thanks!
I love roguelikes (Spelunky and Isaac to some degree), but the talk of grind in Rogue Legacy dampens any impulse I have to grab it. I barely tolerated it in Isaac, and it seems even more emphasized in Rogue. Still, I'm itching for something new, is there anything else on Steam that resembles any of these games?
Is there actually an error? Sounds like you need to restart Steam.

Unfortunately.
The grind in Rogue Legacy is fairly minimal and the game is overall pretty easy. Early on when you first start playing, you can die/need to grind a little too much perhaps. I mean, my thought on that is that my main save was up to the max lvl (like, 507 or 504, something around there), my secondary save was up to lvl ~200, I had gotten every rune/piece of gear, and I beat all the newly added *hard* boss fights and have all the achievements with ~50 hours played. I mean, for a game with RPG elements, that's absolutely reasonable.

For free? I'd love them! I'm hoping to craft the badge at least once
Yep, for free. I can't sell them and gave away my other two to a GAFer. Don't expect to be doing anything with them. What's your profile?

I've been voting for EA games simply because there has seemingly been an inordinate amount of EA deals over the past nine or so months and once the Winter Sale is over I intend to compare 2012 to 2013 in that regard.
Also, a public thanks to Xelios for helping me out with the NA version of HAWX 2 and its DLC.
Equipment -> Runes (jump/dash take priority) -> Manor upgrades.
In the manor, upgrade to the right first, get Archmage and Spelunker on the way to the +Gold passive. It is expensive, but over the course of the game, getting an extra 50% gold will cut down a ton of grinding. After that, unlock to the left and get Paladin, Barbarian King, and Assassin (the advanced forms of the core jobs, and the three with the most useful abilities). From here on, focus on upgrading Strength (because it determines your base damage-- more of this is never a bad thing) and try to max it out before you do anything else. Only upgrade Equipment Weight when you need it to wear new equipment. Once your Strength is as high as you feel comfortable (if you can oneshot mobs in the Maya, you're doing good), continue left through Hokage to get the critical skills. Max these next. Hokage doesn't do well with criticals but criticals do well with everything else. Once you have maxed strength and criticals, you're pretty much a killing machine.
If you'd prefer to play a magic class, focus on Intelligence and SP and upgrade to the right for Spellthief and stuff. Most people do melee.

Not a problem.
Yah, looks like you are right, steamprices is just a tad slow updating - it's still telling me it is 75% off. Ah well, next time.
Thanks.
