Whoever's handling the KotOR2 update knows where the priorities are. Great news.

Note: This only applies to story mode.
Inbetween stages you can choose which weapons you want to use.
Also you receive perks to upgrade various aspects (shields, ammo for secondary weapon, etc)
There are also more traditional modes (Arcade, Score-attack, Survival) where you can choose from various ship/weapon configurations.
Just gonna draw attention back to this part in the OP before we go out the same way the Halo Community did:
In other news, I've been playing Black Flag again (I sped through in 2013) as I wait for Unity install. It's nice to see that it isn't the mess
III was. It's got a lot more of my interest. *if you haven't played any of the games yet, or this one, as I know a lot of you haven't, I hit spoiler tags even if it's minor.
The ship combat took some getting used to, but when I did, God damn. Come at me.
Only just hit sequence 5, but in sequence 4, mission 2, I struggled because for once you needed to be genuinely stealthy? I was a bit shocked. It was true to its roots of an assassins game, and I failed a number of times because 1) you couldn't kill anyone and 2) you had to go undetected.
Also, the introduction of the
weapon to
is ace.
E: I've never played any of the Star Wars games despite getting the bundle. Maybe the achievements on II will push me to play the first and then that one. Just maybe. Cloud support and on Mac is awesome, as well, especially since I'm currently limited to an rMBP.

It's on my wishlist for sure.

KOTOR II is incredible. I've never played I, I started with II and had no difficulty adjusting with the story, though playing I before does help.
Why are you limited to an rMBP btw? Just curious.

I've done that before, with other games, and then went back and played the first, replayed the second, and realised a lot just went right over my head. The little things you can appreciate, mainly, not some massive hole in knowledge like going straight into say, Dragon Age: Inquisition would give someone.
The laptop I usually use for gaming is experiencing issues, I suspect an HDD issue. Pretty certain it is. I'm not sure if I want to just repair it now, since it's just 7 weeks until I'm back in classes and won't really touch it at that point, or wait a while and build a desktop around Black Friday.

haha looks like fun
It was all in the $1 range in December, according to Enhanced Steam.
A little too fast for me though.

Also I have no friends to play this with, lol.

I've been enjoying myself as a STEAM newbie. Picked up a lot of good deals during the Summer Sale.

Thanks anonymous benefactor but why is VH2 22GB big? It looks like 5GB at best according to my calculations. Also I didn't know there's a 'Final Cut' coming (which you get for free when owning all three games). http://steamcommunity.com/app/272470/discussions/0/530646080842509083/ http://www.neocoregames.com/2015/07/questions-and-answers-about-van-helsing-final-cut/
Welcome then and tell us what you're playing. If you do and haven't jumped directly to the 'I only buy games'-phase.

Thanks!
I finished Wolf Among Us. I've been dabbling with the original Witcher and Fallout, I'd like to work my way up through both series. I've played all of the Fallout console games and wanted to experience Fallout 1 & 2. I'm new to Witcher and yes the combat sucks in the first game. But I'm bearing with it for now.
I bought something like 30 games in the Summer Sale. This is my first PC gaming rig, so while the backlog is already real, I'm having fun!
Also playing Hearthstone on the side so yeah, spreading myself thin.
Broforce is amazing too.
Pretty much doing what I do as a console gamer, playing a lot of different games with little focus.
Edit - oh and XCOM too!

We can aim for this weekend I think some other people want to as well.
Thanks for the heads up. However a fellow SteamGaffer just gave me a code they had!
So i'm in for the next time SteamGAF is playing.

All you do in every game is repetitive.
I guess itagaki wanted you to stick around after that initial return post.
Good luck with that. My two cents: unless we have stump's protection, we're almost assuredly doomed.
The difference is Broforce can be finished in an hour or two.

I could join for some 100% OJ as well
havent played 100% OJ in a while , i can join too if you guys need someone else to play
I thought I would be bummed about PC not getting the SFV beta, but Necali isn't in it so I'm good for now.
The Tales of Zestiria bar has just completely stopped it seems. I'm sure once it gets closer to release it will meet the goal. I'm impressed that it sold over 10,000 copies already. I'm amazed at how great mediocre to decent Japanese RPGs sell on Steam. I think this will easily get Valkyria Chronicle numbers if it turns out to be a decent port. Combat system in the game looks really enjoyable.

Yay, me too!
...although I only started off with 6 games as opposed to your 30, lol.
XCOM - Been waiting forever to play this! SRPG is my favorite genre (well, 1a next to platformers).
Halfway - Love the eery, lonely sci-fi atmosphere of a crew surviving in a spaceship. Oh yeah, it's also an SRPG.
Banner Saga - Yep, another SRPG. I've been hearing some mixed reviews on it around here after I had already bought it. Still, probably would've gotten it anyway given how long I've been waiting to play this.
Mercenary Kings - Kinda bummed about the mixed reviews I've been reading about this the last couple pages here. Still looking forward to getting it started and seeing for myself.
Bionic Commando - Another game I should've played long ago.
FLY'N - Colorful platformer with neat unique character mechanics. I haven't even heard of this game until the Summer Sale when I saw it advertised one day. Looked interesting enough to take a flyer on it.

What do you need it for? For 1080p on consoles?

Prototype and now DI are downright bizarre choices. Some of the most aggressively average games I can think of.
Anyone asking for a new generation of consoles got monkey paw'd pretty hard this gen. There's even some games on Steam doing it, to avoid previous metaratings.
Hmmm DI is disgusting anyway so I dont know why they bother
Essentially, yes. It came out in 2011 on PS3/360, and the Definitive will be PS4/XBONE. PC, as well, of course, in this case. Not worth it, though.
I wonder how well it'll sell on PC considering, well, Dying Light's existence.

Yes, I have a sickness. But XCOM definitely has been a highlight for me. Never played any of the games in the series before.

Prototype 1 and 2 were decent and didn't get their props last gen. The only issue i have is the price. If it was a 2 pack for $30, I think that would be fair.
Atleast I really enjoyed banner saga, it's not even close to as long as most of the other SRPGs you mentioned but the artstyle and animations is unique and looks amazing in motion.
I finished it after a few hours and am eagerly anticipating the follow-up, which I think is releasing this winter!
Also welcome to steamGaf and steam in general, hope you have a good time.

Played it already? It's a weeklong deal but I'm not 100% sure (also it could be bundled fairly soon).
XCOM: EU is really good, you should get the DLC when it's on sale and also get the long war mod after one or two playthroughs.

Well. I can't even get Mercenary Kings to launch.
Oh...I see.
Full-screen is bugged.
Had to add "-windowed" to the launch options so it would run.

When I tried to play coop on PS4 my online partner was invisible. Game looks good but man there seems to be issues with it.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
