Don't shatter my dreams.
My prediction: Shatter for 2
I'm playing through it right now and I'm not such a big fan. I guess it doesn't help that the last 2D platformer I played was Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. It's just so much behind a game like that in every aspect possible. On top of that it's a mess. I need to launch it twice before I can get to the game because first time always results in a crash. Alt+tabbing seems impossible too.

Now Micrrosoft owns Minecraft tomorrow's daily deal will be 25% off Minecraft for Steam and you won't be able to migrate your Minecraft.net account over, so everyone has to- and will buy it again just for Steam achievements and cards.
Happy Christmas from Phil Spencer.
edit. None of my Playfire achievments are tracking which is a bummer. The log is tracking that I've played the game, even achievements for other games but not for Bastion or Alien. Oh well.

Get Burnout Ultimate?
EDIT: Is there a way to redeem a cd key without the Steam client? I just won something out of a giveaway for the first time
I don't agree with the Tropical Freeze comparison. Granted, I've only played DKC Returns (and the original trilogy), but I feel the precise platforming, speed and speed of death transitions of Super Meat Boy help it to make it one of the finest 2D platformers. Although, that is not to say it's a game without faults. There are some difficulty inconsistencies that I wish were vastly improved in the game, some level design and optional characters not being optimised of very level in the game.
The level design simply isn't as strong.
Although I guess this very strongly comes down to your preferences. It's just a very different kind of platformer at its core. Oh and Tropical Freeze is a lot better game than Returns. Highly recommended.
I've been meaning to get Tropical Freeze for a long time now. Returns was one of my favourite platformers.
I'd be happy to buy Minecraft again if Microsoft replaced Java with something not completely terrible. They should just port back the Xbox version to PC.

Hmmm. Got an Amazon gift card today, so here's hoping for some good price matches from them. The cross-section of games I don't have and games I'm interested in is fairly narrow at this point though. And Banished isn't on Amazon, so that's out for a "freebie".
Will have to wait and see if there's anything good left.

Yes, and with controller support.
I see a lot of people talking about buying it. Given the reported issues with it, I'm a little surprised.
Don't think there will be anything special for Christmas, at least I don't remember them from other years.

Apparently it was a technical bugfest at release but has had a lot of patching up.. Welcome to PC Gaming in the 2010s.

Well my Christmas is pretty shit, here's to hoping they put South Park with a high discount or something else good.
Otherwise I'm just going to go drown myself in a bottle of fucking whiskey.

I'm confused here. I have no intention of buying Trace Vector but I find its OST rad so I figured I'd buy the OST on Steam.
As you can see there are two options of buying the OST with one of them being 0.50 more expensive. I guess the cheaper option is just an upgrade of the base game and the more expensive one is the standalone, but both store pages say that they need the base game to function.

I really wanted to play this game more often, but the time it takes from going to onde race to the next completely takes me out or the game.
The amount of useless screens after a race (including what are essentially advertising for the cars) were at parody levels.
Fantastic game. I approve this message.

I have it, I just don't enjoy it as much unfortunately. :[

Generally speaking you can't buy DLC without owning the base game. Despite the price discrepancy, both packages (46817 and 48477) contain just the soundtrack and nothing else; the base game being required (or not) is handled via a flag that's applied to the app itself, so offering separate packages doesn't actually achieve anything, as you've noticed.

It's my first steam sale with a gaming PC and I found this sale to be disappointing so far
Did you check Green Man Gaming? Some pretty sweet deals there! There are deals until January 1st so I'm sure something good has to show up!
edit: http://www.greenmangaming.com/12-days-festive-deals-encore/
They are having an encore and you can use a 25% off voucher plus you apparently get a free game?
For our UK brethren GAME has The Evil Within for £9.99.

haha yeah, i kind of hate those unskippable videos and screens, it just comes with most EA games unfortunately, and it's one of the things I didn't like about burnout paradise.

Despite the negative things I'm hearing about Lords of the Fallen, I'm really tempted to pick it up. Part of me is telling me to wait until the game is cheaper though. I guess I could take that time and finally play through all of Dark Souls 2.
I'm hoping something pops up that I really want when the deals reset.

It's pointless to play LotF if you haven't finished DS2. LotF is pretty, but it's quite shallow in the gameplay department.
Wait until it's cheaper.
Skyrim's staying that price until the 2nd. You're good. It was cheaper before, though, as it was a daily.

Oh man, if only they would put Shadow of Mordor on sale for that price (or something slightly higher)...
Also, is there any chance of Nuuvem discounting Mordor even more when it becomes daily on Steam?
Lower price for Skyrim is pretty sure to repeat, so I'd recommend waiting.

Yes, very. I haven't touched multiplayer and probably won't. It works really well because you start with a team of two and hire help as you progress through the floors.
Edit: Talking about Dungeon of the Endless BTW.
They may do repeat sales on the last 2 days where Skyrim will repeat. that will proabably be the best chance to get Skyrim. Also, if it does, get the GOTY edition. it has all the DLC and is much, much cheaper than buying them individually.
Yeah. It was sitting top sellers the 48h it was available at that price, too. In fact, it was still in top sellers when I was looking through last night. Wouldn't be surprised at all.

How is the game on PC and in general?
It runs great on my 3 year old PC ($400)
