Spelunky. Giana Sisters and Electronic Super Joy are good but not on the same level. Guacamelee if you don't mind a metroidvania beatemup platformer.

I was hoping for more pure platformer stuff, but might end up picking up both Volgarr and Guacamelee anyway based on all the positive stuff I hear about them. The trailer for Electronic Super Joy didn't do anything for me but I'll look up some gameplay.

If you don't have it, VVVVVV is an excelent game, though not your traditional platformer in the slightest.

Already played VVVVVV, great game.

So, I look at the Community Choice for the next eight hours.

i see Braid, and I think "Shit, I've owned Braid since Humble Bundle 1".

I see Isaac, and I think "Fuck, I've had this for ages too, and I'm still shit at it".

I see Dear Esther, and I think "Cunt, this isn't even a game".

So I vote for Isaac, since there's a new version coming next year, and maybe there'll be some positive karma in it.

Was about to buy Ys 1 & 2 but it turns out I already own it along with all the other Ys games on Steam

Just had the reverse of this happen. I clicked through to the game's page only out of curiosity, to see how low the price would go (the discount hadn't propagated to the main page yet) and was surprised to find I didn't have it.

I apparently refrained when it came out (in a stunning display of self-control) because I hadn't played my PSP copy at all...and unfortunately, I still haven't :||

Before I read any further I was sure you were talking about Braid, haha.

Why the fuck is bethesda insulting me for purchasing their game at launch and most of the dlc as it was released. I was waiting to pick up dragonborn for it to be discounted but it's only getting a 33% discount. It's 20 cents cheaper than the legendary edition and that's straight fucking bullshit, it's fucking garbage -- it's not like I can gift the part of the legendary edition I don't need. It's super frustrating being punished for purchasing at release.

edit : ok...i misread. Yup...pretty shitty

I mentioned Super Joy mainly because it's really cheap and I was looking through my games list. It's good, but not excellent like Meat Boy, Spelunky, and Guacamelee. I also forgot to throw in the honorable mention Speedrunners, which is a multiplayer competitive racing platformer in early access. I might be missing something, but Dustforce is certainly near the top of the list of platformers recently.

Skyrim DLC prices are a slap in the god damn face of launch buyers.
Click to expand...

A slap in the face is a minor insult, this honestly feels like bethesda pissing in the mouth of a dehydrated starving man, one that's simply trying to lap up enough rain to survive yet inadvertently ends up lapping up buckets of piss that end up giving him some form of organ failure.

Damn man this makes me so salty ;(

Man, when will all three of Skyrim's dlc will be 75% off? The legendary edition alone is cheaper than the three dlc's being sold individually. Ugh.
I guess I'll be waiting on those dlc's for a really long time.

I remember really liking the Dawnguard expansion but not Hearthfire or Dragonborn. New area just seemed..unneeded? Not lived in. Hard to say. Maybe I was just Skyrim'd out when I tackled it.

Disappointed Brother's didn't win. We have seen Chivalry on sale countless of times already.

There are a few games I hope will make one of the sale still...

- The Cat Lady
- The Last Express
- Gone Home
- Brothers
- Memoria
- The Night of The Rabbit
- The Swapper

Dramatic maybe, but his point is fair. All the DLC is more expensive than just buying the GOTY version.
Click to expand...

And this is why I bought a copy of the Legendary Edition from a reseller of keys for $16 during the last sale. Figured it was way less than I'd ever see the DLC discounted to. I think maybe, you could have gotten them all for $15 or so on amazon shortly after the last Steam sale, but I didn't really care at that point. :)

At this point - what is everyone's #1 hopeful to go on sale?

For me.. Starbound. Unlikely, but hopeful.
Click to expand...

Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed. Although I own it, more people need to buy and play it!

But the main reason I want it on sale as I hope it will affect Sonic Hits Collection to have a deeper discount than it now has (still a great deal and will pick it probably before end of sale)

Bethesda DLC is routinely awful. The only one that was any good for Oblivion was ..uh...the Sheogorath one. You know. That one that I don't care to look up right now. Fallout 3 only had one worthwhile DLC too with the first one being just pathetic.

Now this looks awesome, and something I hadn't heard of yet.

Dustforce never seems to go on sale. GoG has it for $7.99.

Volgarr is also on sale for $4.79.

Nice thanks. Might even grab Dustforce at this price since it looks so good.

$16.99 for Skyrim Legendary edition. That's the cheapest its been so far? Kinda regret getting that Gamersgate price error a year ago. Nah, not really :p
