I'm a sucker for hack and slash RPGs and this one fills that for me perfect. I finished off Ys Seven this time last year.

Oh man, Shadow Warrior is so good.
The only thing I dislike are the enemy waves "Serious Sam like", but the rest is awesome.
Long live Devolver Digital!

So in case there was anybody on the fence about Endless Legend in the last hour, I've been playing it.
It's an absolutely beautiful game. Graphics, UI, music, oh man the music. Pretty much love everything about it except the combat. The combat has been pretty lame and I'll probably end up auto-resolving most of the time. (Not that it's necessarily any worse than Civ combat which is similar to the auto-resolve option).
But I've never been huge on combat in 4X games anyway - always been more into city managing/exploration, which is great here. Lots of interesting ruins/anomalies/resources to take advantage of.
The factions themselves ooze with personality and from what I understand can have quite different playstyles. Been playing as the Vaulters this first game. And of course you can create your own faction like in Gal Civ or several other 4Xs (takes on the appearance of a base faction, but you set the attributes).
There's also minor factions to deal with which are like a combination of city-states and barbarians.
Quest system is pretty cool, each faction follows a different main questline that pushes you to complete certain objectives, and adds a bit of story that you don't really get in Civ, (at least Civ V and earlier entries - Beyond Earth apparently has something but it's not as deep?)
I think that covers most of it (might have forgotten one or two things), so yeah - fun game, if you're even remotely interested in it/4Xes and don't mind a mediocre combat system, I'd definitely recommend.

Fix this shit now.
Just checked and I have 2 hours in Oath and 21 minutes in Origin.
I bought Trails in the Sky too for some reason.
Lord have mercy.
I feel like people are disappointed about the choice almost every day of every sale.

They've always been bad. Every year. Yet one sale they don't have them and people flip their lids.
Community voting is so laughably bad. The choices the community makes are cause to question the collective sanity of the group.
A person is smart, people are stupid. And the community is people alright.
Dude, a game could be 90% off, someone would complain about it not being 95% off.
Amplitude studios is one of the most underrated developers working right now. Endless Space, Dungeon of the Endless and Endless Legend are all excellent, slick experiences that have a lot of great qualities. If you like the music for Legend their music for their other two titles are also great and done by the same music group.
No, I dont mean the outcome of the sale. I mean even the 3 items I am voting on? They had software the other day and just overall games i have never heard of
See my reply above. Not complaining about the outcome. I meant the 3 options you get, just seem poor this year.
I got it for PS3 a while back. Took me a while to get into it...but once I did it was great. I know they're not the same exact type of game, but I'd pick it over GTA IV

Aaaaand, just as I thought, Bully won the voting.
UGH. I don't know, I fired up vanilla San Andreas recently and that didn't age well at all. This one doesn't look all that promising either and, worst of all, seems that due to my region they don't even offer the english version, despite the game being priced in USD.
tl;dr
I hate you, Steam community voting.

Last year, you had 3 votes between 3 games daily. So atleast you had a crazy amount of different choices. Most of us thought, oh 1 vote per day this year, hopefully they license sales for games that actually matter this time. Nope. Atleast cards are way easier to get.

Definitive edition for Sleeping Dogs ... Is it worth getting that if i have all the dlc and the original game on steam installed ?
Same. I bought more this year on flash sales then any other year combined
I think last year had one game that was already on dailies winning flash sale vote, TWICE!!

I still remember this year's summer sale, where Ikaruga was snobbed by the voting community. It never had a day with a big sale because of that.

Has there been a bundle sale on Lego games yet? I don't own any so I'm looking for a decent sale to get into.
Well they fixed that this sale, now it won't even get a chance
Yes, stronghold crusader 2 had a deal a couple days ago.
GMG right now with 25% off voucher is the best deal you will get.

GMG has Lego games on sale for 75% off, and on top of that a 25% off coupon 25HAPP-YXMASF-ROMGMG too. All Steam keys.
For recommendations, LEGO Batman 2 and Marvel Super Heroes are great for the multitude of comic book characters and open-world beyond the main story. The others are good too but mainly linear. The movie adaptations (Lego The Movie, LOTR, Hobbit, Harry Potter) are basically reeactments of scenes, and you'll realize they are all quite formulaic after playing a few games. I wouldn't play too many back to back, otherwise it may become tedious.

There is an 48-hour encore sale going on right now, but I don't think it is comprehensive. It is mainly just the 12 deals of the days they had.
There's a sale for a bundle on Greenmangaming, five Lego games for 25 usd. There's also a 25% off voucher on the front page that you can add for an extra discount.
If you don't like the games in the bundle, you can also pick a bunch of other individual Lego games at 75% off there. They are all steamworks and the voucher applies, bringing down most games to 3.75 usd each.
Edit: beaten to pieces.

Car Mechanic Simulator kicks ass in case anyone is curious.
From my GOTY list:
3. Car Mechanic Simulator 2014
Part of the Privileged 1% Club, CMS is a niche simulation title with actual gosh-darn production values, passion and polish. While not incredibly complex, the game is sophisticated in execution, offering a broad overview of vehicle systems and how they interact. There's a level of troubleshooting that makes the game feel puzzle-like in nature, along with the satisfaction that comes from intuiting the solutions. The game also sports the best one of the best original soundtracks I've ever heard in a simulation game.

Oh well guess I'll pick up Zigguart instead. Thanks.
