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

I believe that PC version is the way to play them, it's just that I already "own" them but I don't have the console anymore. I've been playing my games 90% of the time on PC, I just want to reach the encore day and purchase at least one more game then I'll be set for this sale. Budgeting everyday for the past days when we are so close to ending is no longer fun!
Cursed Mountain, I never got around to that but I wanted to
Metacritic includes a User Score as well. So yes, it does have a proper way to measure that.

Cursed Mountain. Also if that game is "good" is up for debate. It borderlines on mixed reception to skip it. Also Cold Fear is apparently DRM Free even if it's the steam version so there's that. Waiting for 2.49 myself which it has never hit on steam sadly.
There is no proper way to measure any game in numbers. It's individual how much enjoyment we get from a game. It's more or less is possible to measure technical side of things (how good game runs for example) but how good a game is? Not possible.
Yes, which is why it's generally better to wait for the portable ports of Disgaea over the console version.

Only if you play TF2. If you don't play/don't care about the items, sell it for the $2.50 you can get right now.

Maybe you're at work or something and you probably know about it but for anyone else http://www.enhancedsteam.com/

Wouldn't the price on that item just go up though if he waited?
Possibly, double so when the sale ends. Depends on how much "demand" the TF2 community has for it.
"Sure profit" right now versus "unstable profit."
It's a waiting game, like the snowglobes.
(Speaking of which: Who needs to craft badges? I have TWO #3's and a #8. First come, first served on each of them. PM me your Steam ID and I'll get back to you later today)
Which has been known to be full of stupid 0-points or 10-points reviews, like in the case of some CoD games, from people who are simply fanboys of the competing game or just trolling. So in my opinion, it's even more inaccurate than the Metascore, if only because this isn't moderated (as far as I know).

That's what I was thinking but I'm not sure how often new items come out and what demand for items is like since I don't keep track of TF2
I think I'll just sit on it until the end of the sale and maybe cash it in on the last day if I don't decide to hold on for longer

I tried Cursed Mountain because the setting sounded interesting but it takes ages to get going, looks and controls bad and I remember getting mightily annoyed by the first boss. Stopped shortly after that.

360 or PS3 (following this http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=59385385&postcount=102) depending on your personal preference.

There you go:
GTA Complete Pack (ROW)
Includes 5 items: Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
360 controller. PS3 if you use Xinput wrapper.
Most modern PC titles support Xinput, but older titles don't and sue DirectInput which isn't supported much anymore, so those will be a pain in the ass to get modern controllers working with.

If you own a 360 wireless pad you'll need a USB dongle: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HZFCT2/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Also before buying more games: Wait for the daily deals! Or repeats on the last day.
Woo i need the #8. Still need a #2 and #4 as well to finish the badge.
Thought to post this here also for my opinion on the controversial Cinematic mod of Half life 2 and the episodes :
.
Ok so i decided to take a risk and go to the dark side of Half life 2 modding and try out the Cinematic mod 2013 version .
And to be quite honest . after expecting the worst i must say i was actually surprised how good it looks in places .
Sure. it it's nowhere close to Fallout /skyim level of texture mod's but to say that it makes the world look utterly abominable is Wrong in my opinion .
About the character models : i can understand why people are put off by it (especially the Alyx models ) and the creator seems to have been aware of it as he allowed you to keep all the old character models while keeping everything else updated .
In the end it will have to come down to personal taste whether you like the new textures or not .
But for me it is quite passable .
.
True, Assassin's Creed 2 metascore is bullshit; should be in the 90's.

I'm very much in that "I'm done with this shit... ok maybe one more game..." mode after 6 hours.

Late response but I was asleep!
Simple way of remembering:
there = place e.g. "Ooooh yes! Put it just there."
their = possessive i.e. owned by e.g. "sup u got dah smiffs number i wants to go 2 their orgy lol"
they're = they are e.g. "The Smiths? They're going to the orgy. Me? Nah, I think I'll stay in and wash my hair."
Hope that helps.
I would apologise for the pervy examples but adding sexual content to an example makes it more memorable.
Truthfacts!

There isn't - just like there isn't in Civilization. It's not a problem in either case.
The grapple and wall issue I could see being an issue, though I'm under the impression that the grapple takes priority over the wall grabbing in which case that shouldn't happen unless you missed the grapple timing, but I can't really confirm that without testing (and it's a particular situation that would be more trouble than it's worth to test, especially since it'd be a pain to assert if the issue was happening due to priority or missed timing) or looking at the source code of the game.
There are 4 actions with the Y button (grab, up, down, sides) and 4 with the B button (stand special attack, up special attack, side special attack and down special attack).
Those actions are all assigned to the same button because they're actually directional variations of the same move.
It can't get much more intuitive than Up+"Special Attack Button" for an upwards special attack.
The later part of the game do suffer from some annoying level design (I'd say that even the level design in some of the earlier parts required too tight execution as well), and I wouldn't really say a person sucks for having issues with those.
What I'm arguing is that your inability to properly control the fighting mechanics of the game is due to your shortcomings with a gamepad, not because of the fighting mechanics/mapping are themselves.
While I'm curious to where you're stuck on, I don't really think it's worth the effort to livestream, especially since I'm planning to head off the PC soon.
You think you're done, then you go on a good run and you decide the game is awesome sauce!
So you keep playing more and more! That's a good rogue-like.

Yes, its individual, but we are actually a lot more alike than people like to think. I never said to use it as a sure-fire way to tell how good a game is, but better games do tend to get better scores. Use it as a general guide or suggestion, not as your sole determiner. Its just as ridiculous to say that review scores mean nothing as it is to say they mean everything.

Im not liking the look, looks too hectic for me and the sprites look too small.

Finally got caught by the sale, though only $10 worth. Kind of hoping for a nice assortment on the final day of it since I'd sooner just have one sizable order round things off.
The funny thing is this whole thing mainly just increased the size of my wishlist by a huge amount as I'd apparently lost track on a great number of games.

Ripple effect or what to call it. The game is popular right now because it was free and now people want to buy it.

Fired up Dust for perhaps a quick thirty minute session before bed... and nearly three hours later...
I'm only 17% of the way through the story, seemingly, and still fearing a difficulty spike that may hit sometime soon (playing on 'normal' often tends to be a bit beyond me with such games), but have loved every minute of it so far.
Fine work, Noogy <3

I guess I'm just surprised there are enough people who didn't pick it up when it was free and are still willing to throw down cash to still outsell everything but some dirt-cheap dlc.
