Sometimes the bank thinks the games were fraudulently bought. This is main reason behind using Steam Wallet instead of Credit Card during Winter Sales.

$5 or bust.
Plus it just looks like another diablo clone...
Dark Souls won't let me saveGFWL is the worst.
? Didn't that get patched out now?
75%of ultimate ninja storm "3"
It does not play anything close to diablo. It has a great turn-based battle system.

Does anyone have an extra copy of The Dungeon of the Endless when it was $6.xx. My friend wants to play multiplayer with me.

Please tell me this is a joke post.
I'm with you. Besides the narration aspect they play very differently. Bastion is an action game that I didnt find very engaging. Transistor has almost a turn-based strategy layer plus all of the permutations of the abilities.

Very good question...
3 hours of amazing content is more worth than anything else.
Well, I hope you're using DSfix.
Other than that, it's not unusual IMHO to prefer DS2. But both are great games.
Divinity OS has at least 50 hours of amazing content.

It has a decent chance of being a recap on the last day, since Endless Legend sold quite well and they were on sale together. Though if you want to play together now I would just pay the extra $2 instead of waiting for a possible recap.

Bought and played Transistor.
Weird game. Really cool style, and their take on turnbased/realtime combat is pretty nice, but during the first hour you kinda wonder if they're actually going to put those things a coherent game, because right now it feels like you're just moving forward without any clear goal.

Don't buy Shovel Knight if you don't want to have the most insanely catchy tune stuck in your head.
The goal does become slightly clearer as you progress. Don't think story was its strong point anyway, mainly the soundtrack, art style, and combat.

I thought so too, but every time I start the game I get a message saying 'You are not signed in and will be unable to save.' I went online and looked up several guides, followed instructions, but the problem won't stop.
I am utterly baffled.
Thanks for the warning. I'll remove it from my wishlist as soon as I get a chance.
The patched-out version is something you gotta toggle. It's not automatic because it will wipe files if you're doing a transfer, so they have it as optional for the next month or so.
You have to right-click it in your steam inventory and I think it's under beta options.

Doubt Divinity: Original Sin will go more than 33%, the game even before the discount was selling well enough and now that it has a 33% it's become the number one seller on Steam right now. 50% discount won't happen till next year folks, best to buy it now if your interest in playing the game. Plus it will be getting more support from the developer.

Good thing next year is only 3 days away. I'll wait for a more original game. Everything is just patched from Diablo. It's like a 10+ yr old game.
oh my god I am a moron thank you so much
<3
Right, it's $11.99 on the stupid Australian GMG store.
Thanks.

I enjoyed Divinity OS for a few days but it really begins to drag. I was in the 2nd town probably near the end of that area 20-30 hours in or so. Ended up uninstalling it today, I just don't see myself going back.
If you know for a fact that you'll be into it then $27 is a good price considering the amount of content, if you're on the fence I'd hold off.

Great. One of my top 3 RPGs in a year filled to the brim with amazing RPGs. So yes, easily worth it.

One of the biggest positive surprises of 2013, imo. I'd recommend it.
Also, check your wording, that's not the kind of language that's encouraged here on GAF.
I played like 10 minutes of Uncharted in my life so I'm not the best one to make that comparison. I guess it could be the same formula but by far not that polished and no triple A game material. It's the same mixture of action and riddles, but I would compare Uncharted more with the last Tomb Raider I guess.
Cool. I'll grab it then.
Edited my post too - was just annoyed because the site was having issues taking my card payment, even though Steam happily took my money for Shadow of Mordor this morning.

Man I'm constantly hearing good things about this game but know nothing about it. I hear it's turn based gameplay (which I love), what can you compare it too? i might bite on it for $27.

Transistor is a modern, western take on a single player SRPG. It's absolutely fantastic.
You install subroutines on your character to modify their attacks and defenses. These modules can either be a 'main' function (limited slots and mapped to a key/button) or be installed as modifiers to another function. For example, an area of effect attack might modify other modules to give them a (lesser) area of effect.
You have free movement in between 'actions' to adjust your position on the field of battle, and then when your turn is charged up you pause the game and carefully set up several actions in succession (ie, teleport behind enemy, melee, melee, stun, teleport away) based on how much actions cost and how much 'action energy' you have leveled up.
Great soundtrack, cool look, the story is a little post-modern fragmented but essentially makes sense at the end.
One of my favorite games, and a really, really cool combat system that I hope is built upon in future games by them or others.
I though you were misreading his use of 'punt'... then I clicked back to his original comment. Yikes. You're right.

I know this isn't really related to Steam sales, but I'm getting bored as hell with Dragon Age: Inquisition. I'm like 20 hours in and it's really kind of a snoozer. It's just a bunch of boring sidequests and I hate games where stuff if marked on a map for me and I'm constantly having to keep checking the map and terrain to find the path to reach my objective. I don't know, major let down so far and it was ($29.99) way more expensive than anything I've bought for Steam so far.
I have really been enjoying Gauntlet co-op on the other hand.

Gameplay is OK, nothing to write home about. It's the setting, voice acting and characters that are the game's highlight. If you're looking for a game with good narrative and setting, etc. def. give LP3 a try.

It's just a turn based game. So think Diablo in a way but turn based. You can interact with like literally everything which is the biggest thing I was hyped for. If you run over ice, you'll fall. You can cast a fire spell to melt the ice to walk over it. If a troll walks over the now melted ice (water) you can get more damage out of your electric spells. It makes you interact and play like it was real rather than just a texture.
This is the pre-alpha but gives you an idea of what's different.

You also have a shit ton of dialogue choices and can argue with people to convince them of something and they can argue with you to convince you of something. It's got some really cool concepts.
Diablo? okay whatever you say. lol
You could compare it to Temple of Elemental Evil in terms of battle system (that is, absolute top tier in RPGs, period). You could compare it to Ultima 7 in terms of world interactivity. You could also compare it to Divine Divinity and other Larian games in tone, which might be the most divisive aspect of the game.
What you can't compare to anything is the fun of setting up an intricate scheme of environmental effects and combination in coop and then nuking your own party on accident
Lol wut?

Not sure if it includes the base game or not?

I kind of want Transistor even though I got the platinum on PS4 then I thought, "why not get shovel knight?" then I remember I've barely played divinity.
