I've tried to check daily, but might have missed a day or two. Have either Wolfenstein:The New Order or Divnitiy: Original Sin had a daily deal?

No for Divinity. Not too sure about Wolfenstein but I don't think so either.

Any chance Ground Zeroes will drop any more before this is over?

It was already a daily, wasn't it? It won't drop more than that.
If (it was a daily and) you're asking if it will drop again, no.
Don't be so quick to jump on the hate train. They've had a lot of problems with the license holder, they may not have much of a choice.

It was a little under $10 on nuuvem, dunno if that price is still up tho.

Not hoping it'll drop lower than a daily, just that if odds are good or bad it'll be a daily again.

Makes sense to put it in an encore. You can get it elsewhere cheaply.

It was $13 on the first day.

Cool, thanks. I hope they turn up in the dailies.
It was $9 on Nuuvem.
I'd go with Tropico 5. I enjoy Banished, but I prefer the Tropico series. It's a lot more user friendly and I like the theme more. Banished is good for what it is, but it wasn't as sticky for me. It's more a game to pull out every few months and play for a couple hours than a "what do you mean it's 3am" type game.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Rogue Legacy is great. It's only sort of a rogue-lite.. it's a platformer with rogue-like systems.
The idea is to die sometimes. I can see how some might not like it but it's so mechanically great with how it controls and plays... at the price it is now.. it's a steal. Assuming you like platformers at all.

Thank you! Tried this thread, reddit, and google but didn't actually look at Steam itself...
Yeah, I am pretty shocked myself.
The Old Gods and Legacy of Rome are pretty good - adds Pagans/Vikings and the Byzantine Empire into the mix. Sword of Islam, Sons of Abraham and Rajas of India all expand the map and introduce some new wrinkles, if you're interested in any of those cultures they're worth it as well. I'm also a sucker for music DLC when it's that cheap, the soundtrack overall is great.
Portrait, shield and unit packs I'd only recommend if you've played a bunch and want some new assets to freshen things up.

Not sure if it got the vote but it's an awesome game, even in its early access state. It's not quite fully featured yet but there's enough there to sustain hours of play. If you enjoy turn based tactics and stealth, you should consider it essential. Also the devs are quite active with regular updates,addressing fan feedback, and participating with the community.
The game is also extremely stable and I can't recall encountering any bugs.

Does Dead Rising 1 and 2 have GFWL? Less interested in 3 than the other 2.

Oh okay. Well that sucks. Thanks for replying though.
Hope for end of sale encore
Any Feature missing that you feel should be in?
Dusk Golem

Dead Rising 2: Off the Record and Resident Evil 5 are both confirmed to be getting rid of GFWL in 2015 and get Steam servers.
Cool thanks, sorry to be a pain is tropico 5 worth and extra £10 over tropico 4 which is like £2.50ish atm.

There are two Early Access indie city management survival games that may interest you if you were looking into Banished; Retro-Pixel Castles and Heartlands.
RPC is very much in alpha (no saves, lack of content, slowdowns, crashes), but I've played a few hours and the basic civilization survival management concept is fun. You guide the actions of the settlers by flagging areas for them to work on or buildings to build and watch them fail or succeed. If you don't set your town center in a secure spot from the get go, you'll be doomed by day 2 and will be overrun by zombies. I look forward to future updates on this one, but at the moment I'll wait for a more stable release, as it slows to a crawl sometimes by day 4 and no saves really sucks when you have a good run going.
I have yet to play Hearlands, but even though it is also EA, the survival\city management looks more refined than RPC. More building types, trading, and ability to train and fight off enemies. Seems more like a Civ\SimCity\AoE mashup. I'll probably try it later today.

By the way, there were some errors processing your keys...
Note: The key you added for Shadowrun Returns was already listed in ModBot from a previous giveaway of yours, but was not taken. Updating key info to match new giveaway.
Did some cleaning, I don't think this was used. Sorry if it was.

Tropico 3, 4 and 5 are very similar games. Tropico 5 has multiplayer, but if you don't care about any of that you'd be better off getting Tropico 4 with its DLC.

Are Y's games essay to get into..wanting to buy all of them..is there a recommended order or each one?
Buy them all, I'd say start with Origins.
Green Man Gaming had Wolfenstein for $20.39 yesterday and with their 20% coupon it came out to ~$16. It's back up to $30 now, but the coupon still applies. Not sure when their sale ends or if they have an encore.
Aww. You sure? Was it $14.99?

Day 1. $14.79.

Start with Ys: Oath in Felghana (Ys 3).
Ys games aren't hard really, at worst level grinding for 1 or 2 extra levels will make bosses slightly easier.
It is an epic game regardless.
Ys 1 and 2's gameplay is rather archaic but can be fun, Origin is a successor to OiF's gameplay system and many consider it to be better.
Obligatory

They're more action than rpg. I'd recommend starting with Ys 1 and 2. Ys Origin is great, but it's also a giant callback to Ys 2.
Honestly, you can play whatever you choose. Just remember that each level is very important, so if an area or boss seems tough, just go back and kill a few enemies and level up. Other than that, it's pretty easy to get into.
My recommend path? Ys 1, 2, Felghana, Origin.

Shadowrun: Dragonfall DC is a standalone expansion. I believe Shadowrun Returns is going to be a separate purchase.
