I don't remember, but was Resident Evil 5 ever 75% off in the summer sale?

I don't remember it being that cheap, but according to ITAD it was 75% off in 2013, but not last summer sale.

omg.... just bought GTA IV, how the fuck did this pass QA, it already begins that I can't save without Games for Windows Live, I couldn't even start it.

The camera is awful, fighting is awful² and there are a lot of graphics issues. And that's just after 10 minutes of playing the game. ;__;

That sucks dude, but thanks for posting this. I already have Vice City, but I was thinking of buying the collection. Speaking of which, I guess I should actually play Vice City to see if it works.

Been a sparse christmas sale for me so far. Only picked up...

-Speedrunners
-Ziggurat
-Skullgirls
-Mount Your Friends

Got all of these for just under a tenner though! Ziggurat is seriously great, and it's still in early access which is surprising.

Really digging Lords of the Fallen. Feels better than I thought it would, and it runs and looks great. Next Dark Souls, but eh whatever.

So GAF? Lords of the Fallen?
Click to expand...

Bought it just now and it crashed at the very first start up. =/

It's running fine now and I just beat the first miniboss. If you REALLY want a souls-like experience I guess go for it but otherwise wait.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Lords of the Fallen or Evil Within... very tempting...

So far, all I got was Wolf Among Us. Don't regret it, though.

I asked for Lords of the Fallen to be cheaper, and here it is.

So, will it go cheaper on a daily? We'll see...
Click to expand...

It won't go any cheaper. Publishers set two discount: General discount and deeper featured discount.

Only different seems to be losing community deals, where percentage between these are used. These might later appear at full discount.

Buying Lords of the Fallen has tipped me onto the 100 games mark!

Now just for Shadow of Mordor, Divinity: Original Sin, and Tales from the Borderlands :)

Ok I was just confused then, I was thinking "featured" vs the 12hr/community choice. I wondered if it would land in there or if this featured was as low as it would go.

Broke down, bought Talisman.

At some point I realised I spent more on a hot chocolate today on an impulse, and I've been turning over this Talisman purchase for like six hours.

That's just what steam sales do to you :D During sales times 7,49€ seems like a fucking expensive buy to me, while on the other hand I might impulse buy some 20€ games on retail... :p

So if I only got 50% through both DS1 and DS2 is it even worth playing Lords of the Fallen or should I just go back and finish those games instead?

Also, everyone should buy The Evil Within :)

i have The Evil Within on PS4 and good god, i cannot play that game. it is such a stuttery mess. is it better on PC? i have a pretty beastly rig.

PC version is the way to go, you can play at a locked 30 or 60fps if you have a really nice rig.

Lords of the Fallen is shorter and features a more 'fleshed out' story, so maybe that's more to your liking.

You can save without logging into love just make an offline account the option is very hidden though when you try to make a new account, just a textlink I think.

I didn't have any performance issues with a 4GB 770, was able to crank all the settings up.
And this was before the performance patch which was released recently.

I am so terrible. Having loads of fun with Endless Legend, but I keep getting to like turn 50 before I decide I don't like the map and restart.

I've done this like 4 times now >.>
