I'd get both. Origins is still good, but it's not as good as City.
Ah, is spacebase even any good?
I didn't look at it much since I was only interested in hack n slash as I wanted to see what had changed since the game pitch years ago.
City is amazing though?? I thought that was the universal opinion. I liked it a lot more than AA at least. It's like Batman Begins vs. TDK
I liked Origins better than City myself. The city is slightly more interesting, some of the detective stuff is cool even though it doesn't actually require you to do much but click the things it's pointing out for you. And I'd say the story is more interesting than City as well.
That said... City is a direct continuation of Asylum's story and I'm guessing Arkham Knight will continue some threads from it.

That's odd. It went from 17% (before daily price kicked in) to 33%, and then to 50%. Hope not too many people got burned while it was at 33%.

Castle Crashers getting a main page slot is a joke. Some of the other games are interesting but the discounts aren't great. Nothing for me again today.
Yes. Provided you have no hang-up with wearing diapers while playing.
Btw, Batman Pack with City GOTY + Origins + Blackgate is 15 BRL (~$6) on Nuuvem. Does not include Origins season pass from what I can see. http://www.nuuvem.com.br/produto/2567-batman-pack Doesn't seem to be region-restricted, adds to the cart fine here.
Both. Origins is kind of a rehash of City, and arguably inferior, but it's still worth the price.
EDIT: Unless you hate Arkham City, of course. Then don't bother.

Yeah, Black Flag should have been on the front page. I have a feeling a lot of people are going to pull the trigger on that one today.
Universal? I keep seeing different opinions on which is the best Arkham game, meaning they're all probably really good and you should play them all anyway. I've only played Asylum myself but it was pretty amazing.
Ah, was waiting for Arkham Origins! Got Blackgate as a gift some time ago and didn't want to play it without playing Origins first.
Got Valkyria Chronicles too, finally, through family sharing. Yes, I bought a bunch of them to give away at release but didn't buy any for myself

So, is there any "hidden deals" thread yet?
check green man gaming folks, cheaper there, buying wolfenstein now
I might have to, sadly. It's one of the few I wanted to get this year. I was hoping at most $15.

Any differences in VC from the PS3 version besides the addition of the DLC?

False. It's a lot better.
It's based on older build and there are performance issues like stuttering (dunno how it's been patched) but it's still a good game. The commentary tracks are worth the $4 alone if you've played the game before.
The biggest issue with the DC is that they used the original 1.0 version of the game to add everything to, instead of the patched vanilla version. There are still things in DC that haven't been fixed that are fixed in the vanilla version, afaik.
If its the only version you can get, by all means play it.
However, for anyone who wants the vanilla version (or a +1) you can buy that still from the Square Enix store HERE for $8, and since its steamworks it'll activate on steam.
this has been happening to me and im not able to buy from the web since the sales started
it either says that or that the currency doesnt correspond to my region so it cant go through
the latter worries me, but the steam client's been fine

Just a heads up.
Green Man Gaming has similar "deals", but you can add a voucher code for 20% off on top of the deal. First come first served, as copies are depleted rather quick, but they do seem to replenish.

Here are two of the voucher codes.

Got me Ground Zeroes for about 10 Bucks and Counter Strike for about 6 Bucks using these. Considering how these are the two best sellers of the current steam sale, go for it !

Steam's probably getting hammered with traffic. May want to try again later.

It's a kinda fun pirate game, but there is lots of awful assassin's creed game sprinkled liberally throughout.

wow the hot deals just don't stop on Steam Holiday Sales 2014
Improved graphics, framerate and aliasing, achievements, cards. At least that's all that comes to mind off the top of my head

Ability to run in 4k pretty easily.
Well I meant for the most part, both from media and forum goers (also real life friends).
