Steam Holiday Sales 2013 |OT2| DIE HARD (AND HAPPY NEW YEAR)

Darkness 1 should be on Steam.

It should. Much better game than Darkness 2, IMO. Darkness 2 was average whereas Darkness one was special to me. The sequel still had some good points, but it wasn't quite up to snuff for me... at least they ditched the multiplayer mostly and just made those coop missions.

This is the first time I've heard anyone say anything about Fist Puncher. Visually it's atrocious so I didn't really pay much attention to it—but Volgarr's no looker either, so I hadn't written it off completely. Do you have any impressions, a review or anything? Or are you going off trusted hearsay?

It's really 8-bit retro looking.
It plays sort of like Castle Crashers meets Scott Pilgrim.
You level up and put points into stats just like Castle Crashers, but it's got a map like Scott Pilgrim with different areas for you to choose to go to.
I'm not sure how much it's discounted currently, but if you can find it for under $5, it's probably worthwhile if you like this sort of game, especially if you have anyone to play co-op with locally.

Well I caved and bought black flag on amazon. Fortunately its a steam key. I fully expect uplay to pop up after I get it installed too. Sigh.

Been working ok with far cry so I expect it will be fine. Can't wait to indulge in some piratey goodness.

Why not? The game is amazing and the best in the Hitman series too.

I've been dying to know just who was up to level 500+ for the Snow Globe badge, and it turns out various places across the internet have located this Moby Dick of badge whales.

I'm guessing they got harrassed about it so they made their profile private, which is sad because a.) don't fuckin' bully people you jerks and b.) now we mere shallow-pocketed krill may never find out just how unlimited "unlimited" really is.

He got harrassed on the steamgifts.com forum about it. I witnessed it myself, and he even responded in the thread there. Shortly after that he made his profile private.

AC 4 costs a damned $52 and probably the only way to get it on Steam with the Amazon version region locked?

I got it off US Amazon and it redeemed fine on my UK steam acc. I haven''t actually played it yet though so I don't know if there's some Uplay bullshit in there
 
That's a bold statement. Better than 2? I thought Absolution was part of the boiled down Hitman camp.

Yes, but the checkpoint system is really bad. I originally did not get it from all of the hate it got, but once I played through it I realized people were hating on Absolution just like Final Fantasy 13. It was the fans of the series that were complaining and they did not know what they were talking about. This comes from someone who is not a fan of either series, but likes the games the diehard fans hate on.
 
Hmm, I never did get past the demo for RE6 due to my problems with it, but I do love Mercenaries and other people's tips do seem to add a lot more variety to the combat. I think I'll put it back on my wishlist for a later sale once I have money again.
Thanks for the insight.
No problem. Definitely take those user tips into consideration if and when you get it--especially the FOV suggestions. The default FOV settings are atrocious.

Did they drop the semi-open world aspect of the first game? Starbreeze is such an interesting developer over the years, truly enjoyed their output despite the studio changing entirely.

Memories. :/

Its alright Monk, you became a stronger presence in the community due to that thread. And we helped you to get a new PC!

Great things can come out of bad situations, Javadots is gone anyways.

I appreciate the additional detail; thanks.
Sounds a bit like I should stick with Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara, though.

Ugh, that's too bad. :|

I have 10 dollars left. Valdis and Volgarr need to go 66% off so I can get both and be satisfied with the sale.

Grief you are an amazing person.

Why thank you Monk!

Yep.

You can walk around your mansion and talk to people, though.

Progress!

Great way to do a giveaway, you should announce the winners in the thread and how long they have had the game on their wishlist.

He did make quite the negative impression.

Guys, remember to not buy Hitman: Absolution.

Just wanted to post that this opinion is wrong. Absolution is a fun game, especially for this price. It's not perfect, or even the best hitman game, but it's fun. Would you have more fun with a $5 footlong? Doubt it. Play this game and enjoy.
