Thanks. Unfortunately I spent 20 minutes deciding on which CK2 add-ons to get and then promptly removed them all, after again deciding that I simply don't have the free time to play such a hour-devouring game.

No controller support for Banner Saga IIRC.

I assumed familiarity with point and click adventure games on his part and immediately went to 2014 releases in my head.
If someone asks for pnc adventure recommendations because he has the itch again, I'm not going to dig into the 15+ year history of the genre.

Questionable main character, but a couple new powers.... generally more Prototype. Not bad, but there are better open world games.
I say wait. Both ports feel kinda poor. I regret getting Revolution honestly.
If you really want a Naruto game right now, get 3 since it's cheaper and it has a better and longer story mode.

I asked this before but got no response.. Is Pandora: First Contact good? How does it compare to Civilization: Beyond Earth?

Hoping Alien: Isolation becomes a daily deal again... wasn't prepared to buy it when it was a daily deal early on in the sale. Would pounce on it right now, but waiting for it to go to 50% off once again.
Also eying off Geometry Wars 3, Five Nights at Freddies 2, Rambo: The Video Game (yep I'm that guy lol).

Alien is half off at Gamestop's site currently if that's an option.
Nope. Shitty story, shitty character, and the pc port is supposedly one of the worse.

It's really pissing me off how this year more than ever they'll put a game on the front page at a huge discount, then when you look more closely, the 'real, proper' GOTY edition, which most people will want, is another $5-$10.
Well that's up to pubs isn't it? It's how they get us.

Just as an FYI, anybody that loved the old Pen and Paper RPG Shadowrun and the SNES incarnation of the game.... go Buy Dragonfall right now.
It's basically a fully realized version of the PnP game combined with the awesome SNES game and a bit of XCOM.
IT'S SO FUCKING GOOD.

I was going to.. Can't justify buying it without finishing Returns first though.
I'd like to know this too. Game is on my wishlist for a while now, and the price is tempting. Plus there haven't been many RTS games around since SC2 launched.

Random NewEgg.com bundle. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive + Prototype - $5.99 - Individual Steam Keys
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.2104419.32-133-211
I imagine it could be sold out soon. Might want to jump on it just in case!
One more issue. If using Paypal, you will notice that you are charged and receive emails for two orders for the bundle. $5.00 for Prototype, and $.99 for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. According to their email, codes and instructions for the games should be emailed to you within the hour. I am still waiting for mine, but it is NewEgg so definitely legit.
Crossposted to the December thread as well, just in case someone isn't following both.

It's more polished, but also more streamlined, not quite as good as the first game IMO.

on the one hand: this post made me realize I missed that deal too
on the other hand: this post also made me realize how many swear words I can mutter in the span of a minute
e: though while I'm talking about games that have been on my wishlist forever, guess I should get around to buying The Banner Saga

The Banner Saga is so good I bought the android version long after I finished it so I could play it again on my phone whenever I had a spare moment. This is also true of Shadowrun.

Bought Transistor yesterday, played for 2h, and it isn't really that much fun. Worse then Bastion.
The art and soundtrack are nice, and the level system/function combinations are pretty fun. But that's about it.
*The battle system is pretty good, with a very good realtime/paus system, but they get tedious very quickly.
*Unless I'm missing something, the game's structure is completely linear, you're just being pushed forwards towards a set path, where Bastion at least gave you some choice.
*While the narrator in Bastion worked very well, this time I just want him to shut up. He's not novel, or funny, really just pretentitious.
*And while the art is nice, pretty much everything in the city looks almost the same. I have no real idea where I've been, where I am or where I'm going.
Nothing in the game is bad, but I barely feel like I want to keep playing after these 2h.

Banner Saga is one of my favourite games this year.
Gaf, sell me on, (or keep me from buying for now) The Long Dark. I enjoy survival games, and it looks really promising, but being early access I'm afraid that content may be a bit lacking at the moment. I see a few reviews that have issues the the enemy ai, while I see others that praise it. $9.99 is the fringe of impulse buy for me, so if someone can get me over the edge (or get me to hold off) that would be great.

Just about every SteamGAFfer has used it at least once to get a game or two.
Skyrim being the prime example...

The cake is a lie, but the bread is the truth.
So same computer and haven't logged in for days...
You have logged into a new device so you can't trade for 7 days...
Can I still do it via chat?
It does lack a lot of content. No story..sandbox with two maps. Collect and find stuff til you inevitably die. But its fun. And content should increase as stuff comes out especially story..which I think will be loads better than the sandbox mode.

Just a heads up. Civ Beyond Earth is 16-17 in Nuuvem. I think that it still needs an expansion or two to be good.
It took a while for me to click as well, but if you stick with it the combat/skill system really is a lot more dynamic and interesting than Bastion.

It needs rebuilt to be good.
How large are the maps? I see that it says 10 Sq km, but do they actually feel that big?
Also, I just noticed that star studded VA lineup that they have listed for the story. Holy shit if that manages to work out.

What are you finding confusing? During combat there are two phases -- you have free move, where you can run around and position yourself. When your action bar is filled up, you can pause the game, queue up a string of actions, and run them all. There's also a way to play completely in free move, though I prefer the pause. One of the best combat systems I've seen in ages, very original, fluid while allowing for strategy. My only complaint was I found it a bit too easy at times.
