Is that Rubens Barichello? :/
Skip DP, it's a game best watched on youtube rather than suffering its gameplay.

The Crystal Pack if you really want "everything". I dunno, maybe the new Hero and Ship are awesome.
And I actually described movement in the game horribly. What I meant to say was you can move characters wherever you want, but it's not freeform. You can't move anywhere in the rooms, you can only move to that room.
Which is fine because combat is automatic when enemies appear.
You'll really want to keep an eye on who you give items to. Giving a speed boosting item to a faster character will help out if you make them the Crystal-Bearer. And the temptation to have one of your heavy hitters, like Max, on your first go is going to be strong. But you want a well balanced first team, since the games RG will place in complimentary party members.

It put it's hooks into me last month, there's just something about that. It's more than just 'another RPG Maker Game'.

I was considering buying Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth as a gift for a friend.. and found out that the PC port is horrific and nigh unplayable on Windows 7 and beyond. Which was a major letdown (I loved the game on XBOX).
What else might be a worthy present? Amnesia? Outlaw? Any other decent Lovecraft games out there?

Oh fuck now I'm making that.
Deadly premonition didn't even work for me. Tried the fix, nothing. Its awful. I got a refund. Seriously hate the company behind the PC and ps3 port. Complete scamming scumfucks.
And not to nitpick but you said you can only move one room at a time which sounds a bit misleading. You can only open one door per turn, but you can move freely between all explored rooms (including when you haul the crystal to the exit).
I bought the crystal pack and the included character is both exclusive and excellent. His feature is having the highest "wit" stat in the game, which means he generates more resources per turn while he's working generators. Up to you if you want to nearly double the cost for a sweet character, though.
It's also supposed to include a ship but I can't figure out if that has been added for every player or not. It looks like it has. Either way, I don't think it's as good as the character.

Same for me...
Except for the refund part, I got the game as part of a bundle, so I'm not too miffed about losing $2.

I played it fine on Windows 7. There was a community patch I installed to stop the game crashing every 30 mins but once I did that it was gravy.
Eh I don't know if its a spoiler but
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter

Barely affects anything. Might change some minor dialogue when Clem recalls what Lee said, and one other instance than that. If you didn't play the DLC there won't be any major differences and even then it is minimal.
Yeah I didn't play the DLC on 360 at all. I heard it was short, so I never purchased it when it came out. Is it still worth watching a playthrough? Or should I just dive straight in?

Amplitude knows what it is doing with its collector editions.
Endless Legend's Emperor Pack gives you a new Ship and Hero for Dungeons as well.
That's as low as it will go in this sale.
It is crazy short. I wouldn't bother watching a play through, it provides a tiny bit of characterization to one character that has any importance at all. I don't regret playing it, but you're missing almost nothing.

There are definitely movement constraints.
For anyone picking up the game to play seriously, I would recommend doing the in-game tutorial, and also watching the youtube tutorials as well. Here's the first one on movement.

I haven't gotten around to playing anything yet, but I downloaded a shit-ton of mods and opened a few of them up to mess around with moving pieces and whatnot.

Follow your heart.
99% change for Wolfenstein, less for Lords of the Fallen.
I'm on RPG binge this Holiday season. I'm about 15 hours in FFXIII-2 (These framerates are atrocious), 45 hours into Wasteland 2 (Brown, brown and more brown), currently downloading FFX HD (Finally found my Piggyback guide) and just bought Trails in the Sky a minute ago.
I rather enjoyed FFXIII-2 story though, moreso than FFXIII. Even though the framerate in that game is a heinous crime. (75% gpu usage, ~29.8fps in GTX 980? come on :-\)

You missed cheap Wolfenstein on GreenManGaming couple of days ago? With coupon, it was just $16.

Can tabletop simulator be used for hosting online roleplaying games? The pen and paper kind.
GMG is a UK site
You mean Asia I think. Also what a horrible site setup too (and to use).
Shadow of Mordor is $30 on the Humble Store. It dropped to $20 during Black Friday on Amazon, but I wonder if that is just a one time thing. Wolfenstein is also $20 on Gamersgate and was $20 on Amazon a few days ago, but could it drop lower on Steam?

We'll probably get some form of a repeat day.
Keep your eye out on GMG. They generally have similar prices, but with an extra coupon to add on.

At this point just wait until Jan 1st, which is the last day of the sale. They tend to do an "encore" of games which were previously featured deals. However, if they either don't do that (they didn't for the Halloween sale), or you don't see it in the encore sales, then that means you should just buy it at its current price if you want it.
So One Way heroics is this turn-based roguelite where your goal is to defeat the Demon Lord while running away from a dark fog that is consuming the planet, coming from the west at a slightly slower pace than your walking speed.
There is something a little Half-Minute Hero'ish about the game, where you have to get crafty with your time limits and constraints and grind using a very fast and simple fighting system until you get powerful enough to beat the boss. Every once in a while, the boss comes to harass you on the map for several turns, and you can choose to run away or fight them, whether it is to beat them or weaken them for next encounter.
In the beginning you pick a class and give them 3-5 perks to make your preferred starting build. Maybe you want someone who can unlock extravagant chest easily, someone who can bash down walls of a dungeon if the mist is about to reach you, someone who can carry a lot of gear, someone who gets really powerful the more party members you gather throughout a run, etc.
The enemies get tougher, loot gets better, and villages with vendors get more rare as you walk further and further during a playthrough.
There are multiple endings, based on how you beat the game, which party members' story you explored fully, and based on difficulty.
But whether you win or lose, you get ranked and get hero points, which can be used to unlock new classes, new starting perks, or hand down your old items though a transdimensional vault. This is where the "lite" aspect comes in, as you can give another character a powerful piece of equipment from the start, however, weapons have durability and aren't easily fixed so that will not last long. You can choose to not use this advantage, and you'll get more hero points and there are achievements for vaultless runs
It'll get you hooked, One Way Heroics is the first game I've 100%'d since vanilla Skyrim.

Yeah, I remember the last day being the day they repeat some of the sales.
I guess I'll be waiting then.

Just as an FYI, FFXIII is still $6.40 on Square's own store. It's a Steam code.

I bought it for around that price a while back and started playing it recently. Really enjoying it and definitely worth that sort of price for me.
Yes. It has a full "RPG Kit" that has minis and terrain you can set up as well.
Metalic Sand
who is Emo-Beas?
One of my favorite games of 2014. It has a certain charm to the style and gameplay.
Still hoping they make a sequel or anything like it.
It's probably been overcome by stuff like Unity but I remember the first time I opened up Hitman: Absolution I was blown away (ign.com) by the crowd tech. Fucking Chinatown, man.
Of course the game seriously is not Blood Money 2 and therefore kind of sucks, but hey, it's alright.

It definitely does suck in comparison to the rest of the series, but it's worth $4.
The game is certainly a looker, though.

Any opinions on how to allocate my remaining budget?
I fHave $40 in my steam wallet. Wanting to snag SF x tekken. Sadly its rarely on sale. And rarely deep sale.
Should I abandon hope on it and snag the following I have yet to play?
Walking dead s02
Wolf among us
Saints row 4 complete version

So, is trials a flash sale or not? On its page it says daily and that we have a lot of time but the main store page features it among the flash sales.
I think I got the complete edition for $15/20 last sale so don't give up hope.

The only game I see that you might be confusing Trials with is Trails in the Sky. Not getting it mixed up, are you?
