I feel like that's always the answer.
I crafted a Snow Globe 2013 badge. My second ever badge, how exciting. With Portable Smissmas Spirit Dispenser and Payday 2 background and cfacepalm emoticon. I don't really care about any of those, but I felt like I should at least take part in one seasonal badge in my time.
I loved Demon's Souls. Still my favourite game of last generation, it was a reason to own the PS3 for me. I didn't feel the same with Dark Souls and while I do recommend it to people to play and will be replaying with intent to finish myself since I got it out of a trade, I too don't see it as quite the most amazing game experience some do.
Alice Madness Returns. It's an interesting experience with wonderful artistic design (as in how everything looks in the worlds, and the character), and it's something we can't be sure will get another sale.
Hitman Absolution is a tolerable, could be fun with the right mindset and casual expectations/trying to break the game, that will easily be on sale again in the future on Steam or elsewhere.
For the first play through it remains the same, getting harder only if you let it do so with a chosen build. If you buy every upgrade, find everything in the castle, it only gets easier.
New Game Plus after you beat the final boss does get quite harder due to stronger enemies replacing the "weak ones" you would have found normally in the castle, but you can use the "lower enemy" rune to make it more manageable if need be.

Eden is pretty damn good though.
That 90% appeal.
Eden is a nice little game though. Bought it years ago on PSN, one of the first games I got on the service. The Pixeljunk games are all worth playing. I was looking forward to grabbing Soundodger+ cheap though, it's the only one of the three I don't own.

Listen to this Camel
Thanks for all the replies, everyone. Looks like I'm going with Alice!
That's not part of the equation. already bought it.

Are you kidding me!? I understand how shitty it is for something to be a daily only to be a cheaper flash sale, but have you been paying all attention to most of these community winners? If we had to depend on those motherfuckers we'd be missing out on many of the sales we wanted in favor of either the same shit we already had or some game that just happened to be stupidly cheap. Community vote is best as an opportunity to either get a game early or go for an encore, not as your only chance to get something on sale.

why nobody told me i can earn money with cards
Oh and in case anyone needs help trading Snow Globes around, I found the Steam Trading Card Group to be most helpful.

Though trading with SteamGAF is quite good too. I did both.

There needs to be an Adult Swim games flash. I need Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe and you all need Super House of Dead Ninjas.
Rise of the Argonauts is pretty cheap at Gamersgate.com.
Jay or nay?

I'm doing pretty well in LLTQ, first time I survived until the birthdays's party of her friend but I died from
During my second attempt I survived until week 37, I suppressed a civil war and everything was pointing that I could be crowned until Elodie
can't wait to play more.
being attacked by bandits in my carriage and not being able to took the arrow off.
received a box full of chocolates and ate them -_-

You must be stronger, everybody said BUY DARK SOULS, but I resisted!
Heh, so did I. I was very, very close to buying it but the dealbreaker was that it's best played with a controller and I have no intention of buying a controller for 1 PC game. Even with the DSI mouse fix or whatever it's called, people still said using a controller is a much better experience.

Does anyone know if Long Live the Queen would work on a Win8.1 tablet? I'm looking for some games for mine but want it to be touch screen intuitive. Cook Serve Delicious seemed perfect but playing with the touch screen is next to impossible.

Give me more price errors Steam!
Those are both such stellar games.
For people who love games for great gameplay, those are both must grabs.

the last remnant any good? Seems only jrpg on steam what a shame there ain't more of them

Oh nice to know it!
The store is up, but my inventory is not:
You're hoping for it to have negative price? Because I don't imagine it going much cheaper due to a pricing error.Hoping for Pixeljunk price errors
the last remnant any good? Seems only jrpg on steam what a shame there ain't more of them
Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy IIX and Ys series are other JRPGs on the system that I'm aware of.
But yeah, Last Remnant is the only "new" JRPG on the service. I think I remembered reading that it was good, but flawed? I don't really remember.
Yes, of course I have it.

Thanks for Crusader Kings II. It's been on my wishlist for quite a while, just didn't feel like I could swing the cost with all the other stuff that's also been on my wishlist
Looking forward to trying it out!the last remnant any good? Seems only jrpg on steam what a shame there ain't more of them
The people who have played it did enjoy it, game does have its flaws though. FFVII and VIII are also on Steam.
Good luck Rhak.
