Oh lordy.
The threads we're going to have about that game.
Bet you 10 gil that Jim buries it. Like, 4 or 5 out of 10. He does not tolerate fetch quests, shitty npc AI and bad UIs (and rightfully so).

Kiru and Brent Spiner, thanks for the info. 
The Walking Dead Season One ran fairly well on my laptop, so I'm hoping to pickup Season Two next sale for this "new" machine. I loved Season One!

^Various Telltale titles on sale this week. If you got the MOnthly bundle you get 10% extra off each game.
Telltale's recent games all run well on PC and Batman is pretty good, and its current price is decent IMO.

The companion pathfinding AI is straight out of Star Wars: The Old Republic. That AI always finds weird routes to stand beside you and look at you--no matter what is in the way.
But MEA itself sounds like DAI-2, which is unfortunate. The "I hope it's good this time/maybe it gets better/perhaps next time" cycle shall continue.

One of the mystery games was Heavy Fire: Afghanistan, but apparently I already own it (HOW???), what's the usual thing to do, just put the between e-mail tags or make a ModBot entry?

Oh shit, thanks! I'm definitely gonna pick up Season Two and Michonne. I should just do the monthly bundle then, as I already have the Witness and could get the $5 credit. And then buy these. My girlfriend will be very pleased. And that's not sarcasm, she quite enjoyed Season One.
I've heard TellTale's Borderland series is great, too. I don't have the money for all these, though, so that probably should wait lol
And I also heard Wolf Among Us is great, too. Gahhhhhj
It's a rare and highly sought after game; I hope you're prepared for the deluge of PMs you're going to get!

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Tales from the Borderlands is indeed great. The Wolf Among Us is also very good if you like these sorts of games.
I started playing The Flame in the Flood and I'm surprised at how good everything feels. The premise is very simple, you and your dog need to travel in your raft downriver while hunting for supplies and keeping your standard hunger, thirst, temperature and fatigue meters above zero.
The gameplay itself is more or less divided in two parts, traveling and surviving. The travel part is similar to FTL, you can chose your next destination from a preset number of locations but since you are at the mercy of the river current you can never visit them all. So you need to constantly chose between a good source of food, a good source of miscellaneous supplies, a dock to repair your raft or something else completely random and, unlike FTL, you drive your raft from point A to point B and you'll need to avoid all the obstacles and debris on the river, otherwise your draft will break and you'll drown (that's how I died the first time). The survival part reminds me of Don't Starve. The biggest difference is the combat and how "realistic" it is. There are hostile animals like boars or wolves but you can't fight them in a traditional way, instead you craft traps and lure them there in order to kill them and get fur and meat. It seems you are able to craft a bow and arrow later but I never managed to get there.
There's also an interesting disease mechanic where you can get infections from simple untreated cuts or food poisoning from spoiled food, among others.
It's a really good game so if you got it from the December monthly give it a shot.

I definitely do enjoy these kinds of games. Outside of ones made by Telltale, what other games like this would you recommend? I loved Life is Strange, if that helps any haha

If you liked Life is Strange, definitely check out Night in the Woods. It's in the same ballpark but with cartoon animals.

Was gonna say Life is Strange, great game.
I recently played Oxenfree and really enjoyed it - it plays similarly although is quite a bit shorter than LiS or The Walking Dead.
And although not quite the same, I loved Contradiction - Spot The Liar! which plays out similarly.
Make sure you play Firewatch. It's a relatively open-ended short walking sim with Telltale-esque real-time multiple choice dialogues. Kinda like Oxenfree which is also awesome.
D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die on Steam is worth checking out if you don't mind that the story is left unfinished (Season 1 ends on a cliffhanger, and we're never getting Season 2).
If you have a PS4, I also highly recommend Until Dawn - same type of game, but much better in building and showing actual consequences of player choices than Telltale stuff.
I'm interested but it needs to go cheaper.
Seconded. Contradiction is just campy enough to be hilarious, but not so much that it loses its direction. What a great little PNC.

Both look quite interesting and are also now on the wishlist, which is growing exponentially.
Seeing Firewatch reminds me that I also enjoyed Virginia, which I played through on a friends PS4. I'd like to play Until Dawn, tooooo
Deadly Premonition is one of my all-time faves, and I noticed Swery's name on the D4 page soooooo....
A big thanks to Durante for the DP fix, which allowed the game to actually be playable on my laptop hah

He gave 9.5 to Fallout 4, 10 to Nioh and 7 to Zelda. He's somewhat random.
There are entirely opposite positive impressions from other outlets, but let's just focus on this negative one!

That's an interesting statement considering that they praised Torment: Tides of Numenera to high heavens...

I ended up buying it anyway, but I'll always slightly regret not buying that one bundle it was in.

Worth every penny, but I agree because it would let a lot more people experience it that have been waiting.
Not sure what the devs are thinking not even discounting it during the major sales.
I have no stakes on Andromeda, it was merely a little semi-joke based on the last few pages of RPS bickering. I even started it "I hear you guys like RPS" and not something like "hey the new mass effect might be shit" or something.

It might be though. I can't trust mainstream gaming "journalists" to review modern Bioware games, I have to wait for gaffer impressions, and when they are at least 3/4 through the game.

Who says you need to focus on it? Gosh, some of you are hilariously defensive.
Looking over the body of his work I'm led to believe he simply speaks his mind with little influence from hype-culture.
But it seems to burn all kinds of jimmies in the process.
Community reaction is subsequently both entertaining and sad.
But mostly entertaining.
So Mass Effect Andromeda will have the shitty MMO sidequests? I guess their existence makes sense, but BioWare actually named Witcher 3 as a reference or goal, so I have to assume there is more "meaty" side content as well. Otherwise, did they really believe people wouldn't hold them to promises you make a few months before release?
Also, while I like open world stuff in general, I felt the focus on linear design was actually a strength of Mass Effect, outside of purely planetary exploration. Meaning, it was nice that you had important main quests and side quests that were sort of linear, going through a unique environment once.
