This was mentioned a few times but playing Burial at Sea (nice start but too short) I remembered that there's a weapon wheel. Hold 'Y' and you can choose from every gun you ever picked up.

Farcry 3
Dishonored

I see pirates of the Caribbean for sale as a pc download on amazon and gamefly what drm does it use thinking of getting it to complete my lego collection?
I have never had that happen to me. Come on man you gotta give codes to strangers!
As seen on The Wire!
Solo is fine.
In fact, I'd argue in general multi is worse.
The reasoning being that at this stage people have played the game. That means they're not going to want to listen to the same dialog over and over, so you will be very lost. So when it comes time to leave the group, you are going to have no idea what to do.
In some cases, joining a game will mark quests complete that you haven't played yet.. so you're in the same boat (in the middle of a mission you have no idea how it started)
If you don't care about the story (which it sounds like some here don't) and just want to shoot stuff multi is fine.
I'd say play it through once solo (you're going to likely play it through another time with another class/etc)
It's great playing multiplayer if you get a good group of people you know or someone who's willing to be patient while you listen to characters set things up.
Then again, I play most multiplayers solo and for the story these days
Though the number of cards on the market is decreasing now, which is a surprise to me. I expected it would just hover around 100k per card until expiration, but #8 (for example) has dropped from 103k to 90k over the last sixteen hours or so. That rate of consumption is still nowhere near high enough for all the cards to be gone before the end, but...

If the cards get <5 cents I will go ahead and craft a level 10 badge.
Pretty relaxing symbol you get
I might do the same but the prices have jumped back up. Guess they only went down for a short while because people saw the reminder on the frontpage about the expiration date.

That's only in Burial At Sea, though.

Anyone got cards 2, 5, 8, 10? Looking to craft this thing and become sane again.
If you like stealth games, get Dishonored. It's a great "play how you want" game.
I have not played the others, so I won't comment on them.
Speaking of cheap, look for people who just need one card and are willing to part with multiples in exchange.
If you don't mind buying a card for 14 or so, you can get multiple cards for near the equivalent (.3-.5 ea) If they back out or found someone in the meantime, you've got a start on the set either way.

Just Cause 2 or Counter Strike?
Why can't we have a BioShock with Medal of Honor: Allied Assault-like levels of shooting mechanics? I'm not asking for a F.E.A.R. here; hell, even something akin to Jedi Outcast would be satisfying.
The atmosphere, setting and plot made the first game for me. The gameplay (on Hard) totally broke it; putting it on Easy fixed the bullet sponginess of the enemies, but not the unsatisfying combat. I feel it's such a waste, because it looked very promising at first.
I know some people think so, but it was my favorite shooter of 2013 and I played a lot of them. I found myself using a lot more vigor/weapon combinations on harder difficulties and I just had a lot of fun pushing people into tesla coils, setting crow traps on fire, doing some crowd control with bucking bronco and finishing them off with some carbine headshots. You also have to stay moving a lot more. Plus, the lose-money-when-you-respawn system actually has consequence on 1999 mode. The only thing I don't like about that game is the bullshit
3x Lady Comstock fights
GO?
Well what are you into? Do you want an insanely crazy fun open world game or a competitive online shooter experience?

Just Cause 2, one of the best games ever.

Oh, really? Interesting.
Agreed only that I did most of that already on the normal difficulty.
Just Cause 2 is really popular now, so things like the multiplayer mod will have lots of people to play with. Counter Strike, however, will be popular for many more years. I would get JC2.

I've been wanting both for a while, but I don't see myself playing both. The problem with these sales is not having the time to play all the games you purchase, so I'm only getting one.

Ok guys, Dust or Natural Selection 2?
Where I found it to distance itself from that came in the use of the Skyline system, and if I had my way, they would have been a part of nearly every combat arena in the game. They offered a level of control and general freedom of movement that allowed you to dictate the flow of battle in a satisfying way. I felt the combat as a whole allowed for a good amount of player expression and the Skyline a refreshing ability to move at speeds uncommon to these types of shooters.
With the much-maligned Handyman fights, I'd use the Skyline to lure him to various traps (sticking Devil's Kiss bombs on the rail as he passes through, frying him with the tesla coil while opening shots to his heart up with Undertow, etc). You could inflict significant amounts of damage to him in a relatively short amount of time. I liked his great mobility around the battlefield and his aggressive, hard-hitting nature, and I thought those characteristics made him fun and tense to fight.
I've posted about this before but I think the major mistake Irrational made with Bioshock Infinite's combat came down to the randomized gear. Getting certain gear at certain points in the game can drastically change someone's playstyle, and thus enjoyment of the game. The Blood to Salt one alone can have a major impact on someone's use of Vigors, for example.

Dishonored had my favorite setting and gameplay of the bunch. Moment to moment it was the most fun to play as well (note: I enjoy stealth games). But Borderlands is better if you plan to play multiplayer. I definitely put more time in Borderlands than any of the others, but that was due to the coop experience. Farcry 3 was a good too, but the story was pretty bad and the open world mission structure quickly felt repetitive. As a single player experience I thought Dishonored was the better game.

Not sure why you're always so hung up about weapon limits. F.E.A.R and Bulletstorm (highly regarded games in this thread) have weapon limits, yet no one complains about them.
Does Operation Bravo expire and the maps become usable on official servers for the rest of the community?
Playing Bioshock 2 really made me realize that every encounter was made far more interesting with the introduction of multiple weapons and ammo types.
Makes each encounter fresh and your choices dynamic, rather than a completely linear progression until you find a new gun.

For Civ V, if you have Brave New World, you don't need Gods and Kings, correct?
Specifically the situation is my friend has Civ V Gold + G&K + BNW. I have regular Civ V (plus some of the extra civs) + BNW. We should be able to play together just fine without any big discrepancy without me needing to upgrade to Civ V Gold, correct?

Unfortunately, Disney deemed Steam users not worthy.
I've noticed myself several times just leaving Steam open and spacing out with that snowglobe. And my 3 year old daughter loves watching it with me too. I shall miss it too.

ModBot is back?
All the mechanics from G&K are carried over to BNW, you just miss out on some civs and ulterior changes.
Aww, that's cute. If you use Big Picture mode and let it idle, after some time the menu vanishes and you will see more snow drop too. I like these little details.
Like yesterday when playing GRID 2 and the voice from the game calling my name and wishing me a Happy New Year.
I was waiting until the last day of the sale to pick up a bunch of stuff from my wishlist (in case something was a daily or flash deal), but now Steam is showing me no discounts for any of the items I have on my wishlist. There were definitely deals for them earlier in the week. Is that an error, or have the catalog wide deals ended?

You will like this then, if you have the mobile app shake your phone and snow will fall.
They ended general discounts this morning at the start of the encore sale for some reason.

Fair point. It's not like I prefer weapon limits and I do think Bio2 has the best gameplay aside from the harvest defend segments (having 4-6 per level was tedious). But in Infinite this didn't bother me much. I was hopping and running around a lot, picking up weapons when I could. Made my encounters more frantic.
you could always save the html page, or dig around the page to find the script running the snow.
