I agree. I wasn't expecting much with Blackguards, but ended up enjoying it.
Now, I need to decide if I want to bite on Lords of Xulima at $13.

Yeah, I have heard great things about Shadow Warrior and will probably pick it up eventually, but I'm drawn to the fantasy/medieval setting in this case.
That's still OK compared to french :
it sounds the same as a pejorative word for homosexual

Ziggurat is fun. Bit challenging too. I just made it to the last boss but died.
At least I got an achievement for dying there.
Thanks folks, gonna pick it up

Remember to use a VPN with Origin to maximize savings.
Just a heads up, I've been doing a lot of reading around GAF the past couple days and the General consensus on DA:I is quite negative.
Sure, there are plenty of people who will enjoy the game, and there is nothing wrong with that. What really strikes me, is even the people defending the game are making major concessions in their arguments.
Granted, even in some of the best games of all time have some issues to concede. System Shock 2, for example, had an ending that was obviously extremely rushed. Of course, that is a small percentage of the entire experience, where with DA:I, people are conceding large elements of the overall design.
Take it or leave it, just giving you fair warning.
I have everything I want from that list, but great giveaway!

Looks like GMG are running an encore sale (+ 48 hour sale from yesterday) but no new 24 hour dailies.

It is a no brainer for that price and tons of fun. Had it since day 1 and still play it sometimes to run around and blow stuff up. BUY IT
Lots of fun. Definitely worth the cheap asking price if looking for a fun sandbox action game.
It's one of the most fun games I have ever played, and with a few mods you can make the game twice as fun. Every person should own this game.

It's good. Buy it.
It's a fantastic SRPG for folks who like a good challenge and deep character/skill systems.

With a new 25% off voucher 25HAPP-YXMASF-ROMGMG too, though it might upset some people who bought things with the 20% or 22% off vouchers during the sale... lol

Is it just the PC version..?
Damn it, they're out of Hatoful Boyfriend codes
Ugh, why does Lara Croft and Guardians of Light run so framey?? Is this game just poorly optimized? I loved it on 360 and double dipped during this sale, but the performance is really distracting and off. The sequel on PS4 is equally problematic, so maybe the engine is just garbage inherently.
Still, anything that can be done to make it smooth? Even lowering a bunch of settings bears no impact on the stutter.

The sequel ran really bad for me on PC as well, so I assume it's an engine/optimization issue.
Thanks! Found transformers fall of cybertron cheap on Amazon because of this!
Oops, I already own this

Playing Sleeping Dogs, great game. Like GTA with martial arts.
It's 2 years old right? They probably just want to get rid of it, but at £0.90 delivered seems like it'd be cheaper to just to toss them.
I'm new to this, only been on Steam a month with my new PC....
I see Ys Origin has been on sale for $9.99 since the 18th. Are the chances good it will drop to $4.99 before the end of the sale as it did last year?
Am I doing this right?
I'm at 55 games and counting between this sale and Black Friday. So goooood.
My brother whom is a ten year veteran assures me to stand down.

Stand down. If its listed till the end of the sale for that you can wait and it generally pays to do so on everything. Many things seem to have bigger one day sort of sale listings during these. Also I highly suggest looking up "Bundle" during this sale and seeing if any publisher bundles catch your eye. Pinball FX2 is incredible and it was one I only got due to summer sale bundles. Telltale, Daedalic and Popcap are other pretty choice bundles.

On sale days, if you see something you want and it isn't at least 75% off, wait until it's a daily or some form of flash deal. If on the last day it hasn't been, go ahead and grab.
No real way to know the chances of it going on a deeper sale since there are so many games on Steam. It's just a waiting game sadly.

I would wait. It's been as low as $5 historically (last time being July 10th), so there's no reason it won't be that price again during this sale or in the future. Maybe it will show up as a flash/daily before the end of the sale too.
And what everybody else ^ said. xD

I'm selling the Steam version for 25 and physical boxed/sealed kickstarter for 45.
Was the boxed Kickstarter a small box or old school big box?
That's the spirit!

Has there been any word about the other Ys games coming to Steam? I've fallen in love with the series and I'd love to have them all in one place.
