Didn't it just release in October?
They did this with Deadpool, game came out and few months later it's not available digitally anymore.
Wallet codes are safe, changing your credit card is what locks you.
That's... Everyone! Run for Korra!
Glad I bought The Legend of Korra, then. I've never watched the show, but it's a cheap character action game, and some people seem to like it on Steam
I'd say what remains of Acti's licensed stuff is safe for another year. Credit where credit is due, too: the three casualties were all 80% off for a full week just a couple of weeks ago.
Deadpool was available for almost seven months. 007 Legends, though, was pulled literally just two months after it hit the PC (the console versions released two weeks earlier for some reason).
Eh, at this point I think nothing will happen. I think they removed all they are removing this year at the same time (Family Guy, Walking Dead, Ice Age). And they also would put it on a bigger sale if they were removing it imo. That and apparently Activision has deals with Nickolodeon for other games.
Quoting this because it's so true. Game is a spectacular romp.Been browsing the catalog to see if there were games I hadn't heard of that were any good on sale. Found one that is amazing if you are a fan of Megaman, Cave Story and Super Metroid.

currently $6.99 and worth full price IMO. Platforming is a mix of Cave Story and Super Metroid and a lot of Megaman inspired boss fights and Megaman X robot mech stuff is in this. And the soundtrack is pure chiptune joy.

Asylum is my favorite. Very Metroid like. I enjoyed City, too, but ignored most of the open world stuff. It's too overwhelming and boring. Never played Origins. I'll wait for the $5 GOTY.

Why would they do that?
That's true. I went digging a bit yesterday and found that of Acti's remaining licensed stuff all I need are a couple of TASM 2 costumes, so I'll snap those up before the sale is over, regardless of whether or not the game is discounted further (they're only $1.50 each at the moment).

Dat art doe. I realized I don't like most chibi art :/
I'm not sure if that's even considered chibi, but the player's character is too cuteified/deformed for me.
Thinking of grabbing Valkyria Chronicles and/or Wolfenstein from GMG. Push me over the fence guys.
First time hearing about VC but seems fun. Never played anything like it but I do like games like Fire Emblem and Advance Wars. Is this kind of similar (aside from movement not being on a grid)? Also been craving a shooter lately and not too big into online multiplayer so Wolfenstein seems right up my alley.

Eh, I never actually looked at it as chibi stuff. Always kinda thought of it as Legos. But, I see where you're coming from, even though i love it.

Now that you say it, he does look like a Lego character to me... I was never into Legos though so I'm not surprised it still doesn't appeal to me.
Gotta say gameplay looks great though.

okay GAF, ive got only $50 USD to spend on this sale, let me know if ($13)MSGV:GZ, ($5)Batman Arkham Origins Season Pass, and ($5)MGR are worth it?
yeah, i bought it on day1 and its quite fun. the player population was kinda low with usually only around 80 players at any given time ...but since the Steam Xmas sale, its seen a nice bump in players with around 700+ at the moment.
the devs also released a free content update a few days ago which added mod tools, around 3 extra shark species, and a new game mode ...which are all welcome and good to have. hopefully the community can make good use of the mod tools and create some interesting things.
anyway, i enjoy it and feel at $16 its worth it if you're interested in divers vs sharks gameplay.

MGR is definitely worth it, that price is insane. Amazing game and you get all the DLC with it.
Both metal gear are worth it. I haven't played yet batman origins so I don't know about the season pass
Edit:although MGSV:GZ has huge replayability you may don't want to spend 13$ for a glorified big demo
Which link? Also I'm passed I missed the Monaco flash. Was going to pick it up for my brother to play some coop together. Argh!
Metal Gear is so worth it. Not sure about MGSV but if you want it you can save $3 by buying it from GMG and using the 20% off code.
MGR is worth playing if you enjoy games like dmc, ninja gaiden, etc, game's dlcs let you play as 2 other characters even though they're a bit short, but those and the main campaign should give you enough replay value and give you plenty of hours of game time, even though I don't think it's as polished as the other action titles (likely due to short development time) it's fun.

Thanks all. Since I've only got Steam wallet funds available for this sale, I can't get MGSV:GZ on GMG or Nuuvem, only way I'll get it at those better prices is if someone is willing to trade me the Steam Key for a similarly priced set of steam- game(s) via gift.
Buy everything but Blackgate. All the others are great, especially Origins.

Just buy them all.
Play Asylum first, then Origins and Blackgate, then City last.
City will make you tire of the formula so bad that if you play it first, you'll hate the rest of the franchise.

It'd also negate the need to play the rest.

If by "tire," you mean "realize how the other games are worse," then sure.

I'd recommend picking up Arkham Asylum and Arkham City and then waiting for Arkham Knight.
The order story wise is Arkham Origins, Arkham Origins: Blackgate, Arkham Asylum and then Arkham City, AO and AO:B aren't needed to understand the story though since they were made after Arkham Asylum and Arkham City.
Have fun! AA and AC are fantastic games! I've put about around fifty hours into both games.

VC is incredibly fun, especially if you like Fire Emblem and Advance Wars.
VC is an amazing game. I totally recommend playing it.
Here's a Giant Bomb video of the PC version: http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/quick-look-solo-valkyria-chronicles-pc/2300-9710/
Ryse is a pretty fun brawler.
Borderlands if you're okay with more of the same.
People are posting on 3 different Steam Topics at one time.
I loved all three, haven't played Blackgate yet though. Heard lots of negative things, but a friend enjoyed it and said it was worth the $5 he paid for it.
I'd have to rank them Asylum > Origins > City.

There is a serious case to be made that Origins is the best of the three games. Definitely from an action stand point.

Why are the holiday backgrounds and badges so low res?

Because the artist(s) Valve assigned to work on them cares just as little about them as we do?
