How good are the DLCs for Castlevania? Are they worth purchasing the game for, even if I beat it already on PS3?

I liked the first one, hated the second, in fact , I didnt finish the second, the last boss was too frustrating

Darn it is should have picked up Dead Island Riptide. I did not think i would enjoy Dead Island as much as I am.

so far I am pleased with each of my Steam Sale purchases.

Is Blood Bowl Legendary still good?
Also what do you guys think of magic 2014 over magic 2013 if you already have that?
First Templar?
Might and Magic 6? (wish legacy was on sale though)
Of Orcs and Men?
Hitman Absolution?
Miasmata?
Defiance?
Deadly Premonition?
Long Live The Queen?
Remember Me?
The Bureau?

It sucks when you lost your job last week and the only money you have is for rent that's due in a week while you're stuck at home applying for jobs :(

Brothers needs to win this vote! Having a bad feeling about that though since fez is cheaper. Hopefully everybody who wants it already has it since its been on sale so many times. I want to see if Brothers is as good as they keep telling me.

Cities XL looks amazing, is it?

Cities XL Platinum, I'm curious as to how good it is as well. Can't find any topics on GAF about it really, it's like an unknown here on the forums.

Is it a good substitute for a Simcity game, or should I just stick with Simcity 4 instead?

Man, DayZ just does not give a fuck about all these sales.

Contagion has cards, and so does MEtal Drift from the latest bundlestars

And Testament of Sherlock Holmes just got cards if you bought it yesterday during the flash deal

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.
Wait, my Motor Rock copy has disappeared from my inventory. Fuck. Did that ever happen? Do I get a refunde automatically?

You should be getting automatically refunded. It's still in my library but the Steam API says that I don't own it, so it may be in the process of being removed from everyone's library / inventory.

Bohemia's pretty shrewd these days. I think years of shitty ArmA sales before DayZ hit has turned their hearts to stone :) The standalone's just out though, so a discount wasn't really in the cards just yet anyways. That price, though :(

So much for hoarding extra copies to sell for massive profit later.

Someone check if Jasec is okay. I think he bought a couple of extras for this very eventuality.

It's good if you like that sort of game. I used to play the tabletop version, so I enjoyed it quite a bit.
First Templar?
It's a standard TPSlasher with some AI-companion puzzlers. It's not bad, but it's not great either.
Hitman Absolution?
It's a travesty and not worth the name Hitman.
Long Live The Queen?
Not a bad little game. Could have used
actual branching storylines, instead of the one big main story
, though.
Remember Me?
Great music, great art direction, great story... only let down by the brawler mechanics and encounter designs. Still, worth playing.


Sorry to hear about your job.

We don't have "get out of jail free" cards, but if we did, she'd have one.

If you like Magic, I say get Magic 2014, but be aware that the RNG still sucks. The biggest addition are the freedom to actually remove lands now and the sealed slots where you can make 2 decks. Buying additional slots cost as dlc up to 20 slots now. If those features don't interest you, skip the game.
Can't help you on the others.

Nothing interesting today, but hey, there's Borderlands 2 GOTY at 75%, let's get some DLC's...

Oh, only 50%...

I hope people give Lords of Shadow a chance. It's more of a Castlevania game than people give it credit. Structurally, it's very similar to the PS2 Castlevania games, except LoS is divided into levels, and in exchange you don't feel like you're travelling through hallways and boxes of varying sizes. LoS's level design feels much more organic despite being separated into levels. Detractors say that LoS's art style doesn't "feel" like Castlevania, but whether it fits Castlevania's gothic tones or not, LoS has some of the most gorgeous art design I've seen this generation. It's like if Castlevania and Pan's Labyrinth had a baby, this would be the result.

As for "it's just a God of War clone," these claims are utter nonsense. LoS's battle system has far more depth than the GoW games. If you're definition of a GoW clone is so broad, you might as well accuse every action game ever made as being a God of War clone.

It has its flaws like the weak first couple of hours of gameplay and DLC which I have not played but hear is mediocre, but LoS is worth your time, especially at that price. Best of all, you're getting a pretty meaty action game for your money

The Borderlands 2 Season pass used to drop to around 13 or so. Now it never goes below 15.

I can wait. The game wasn't that good anyway.
 
Already put 2 hours into Rogue Legacy.
The way they designed the menu is part of what makes the game addicting.
1. "Alright I died, but I got a lot of money."
2. "Guess I'll go into the manor and up my stats"
3. "Hmm..Now I'm locked into entering the dungeon again."
4. Go back to 1.

Someone said that the DayZ devs "didn't want a lot of people playing it." Why is this? Too buggy atm?

Here's the Steam page's official product description right now:

"WARNING: THIS GAME IS EARLY ACCESS ALPHA. PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE IT UNLESS YOU WANT TO ACTIVELY SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF THE GAME AND ARE PREPARED TO HANDLE WITH SERIOUS ISSUES AND POSSIBLE INTERRUPTIONS OF GAME FUNCTIONING."
 

JaseC

gave away the keys to the kingdom.
So much for hoarding extra copies to sell for massive profit later.

Someone check if Jasec is okay. I think he bought a couple of extras for this very eventuality.

I still have my three spares. There's no logo, and I can't trade them until January 23rd, but they haven't disappeared.
