I like the instant gratification of seeing something built from previously nothing.
I don't enjoy the post-Windows installation patch installs. Getting stock Win 7 to the latest patch took me an entire day. An. entire. day.
i also have to appreciate the work that cdpr seems to have put on witcha while i was gone
you can now toggle off the awful batman mode fisheye vfx, they redid all the interface screens, they let u compare items (i think that wasn't there before), etc.
the bigger issues with the game still remain but it's so impressive the way they've committed to improving on their already pretty good game

GPD Win - Dark Souls With DSfix
Ha, how awesome is that. Portable Souls! Prepareto diefor 15fps though
I remember getting crazy better performance in DS2 compared to DS1 on my old laptop, so you should totally try that one out too Phawx! Results might surprise us.
Not having L3/R3 on the dual sticks is a major bummer.
I think the game run worse than the PS3 version for me, even with DSFix. DS2 runs like a dream in comparison.

Bastard Bonds is 50% off ($10)
Really cool, but tough as balls tactical RPG. I'm about five hours in, and it took a few re-tries of the tutorial before I got a hang of the systems. I love the sprite work, and the character creation is pretty cool too.
I'd suggest checking out the Demo, it doesn't bring your save over to the full game, sadly. But you can play a damn lot of it. Just wait for it to click (the mechanics) and the game is a blast. It's got saves and reloads, but party members (which are randomized each save based on your starting choices) can perma-die.

Is this the one where people finally stop trying to tell me these games are well written?

Rejoice!
Still waiting for the serious chapter that talks about the ethics of cloning cat people.
pretty done

Likely true, but then you're playing Dark Souls 2.

I cannot read the title but I imagine it means Oktoberfest.

playing Grimm Dawn with the Steam Controller makes me realize I need to use this thing more. Not as good as Diablo 3 on PS4 with a gamepad, but pretty close

Who said it was a joke?
The best one you mean? Seems fair to me.

gta5 fixed most of the issues gta4 had with like car handling and being called by idiots 24/7 but didn't fix the other critical issues of the story being absolute garbage, with social commentary that would only be deep to a 14 year old, the mission structure having barely progressed from something out of 2003, and playing the game generally not being any fun since it's still stuck in between something like a simulation and general goofiness
and the gta5 "universe" is just so boring in comparison to gta4's post 9/11 new york
crap crap crap crap
that looks super cool
is it a roguelike?
i hope not

Those GTAIV reviews just show that even the press gets caught up in hype.

It's not. The only permadeath is teammates can die. But you die, you load a save. You can only save on the world map, not in dungeons. The demo is seemingly 1:1 so give it a go : o

I'm still waiting for a sizeable discount for GTAV. Would love to play it.
So I checked its storepage and huh, how did I miss this.

Civilization VI is so good, as much as I loved V this one just feels right in every regard.
pretty done

The AI actually falling back and healing instead of sitting there like blind people already makes it a huge upgrade from Civ 5
So, you're saying I should buy it...?

cdkeys.com has Deus Ex Mankind Divided for like $22 bucks (Have to actually click on the game to see the reduced price)
damn that's so tempting
you should have bought it when it was 75% off!
I suspect it will be in the Halloween sale
I await the day they apply this to the desktop client and allow genre / tag / purchase date categorisation of your own library so you can find games you own to suit your mood etc
It's on the wishlist ready to buy

It's so weird because Big Picture Mode has a lot going for it that you can't find in the desktop version, and yet it's still missing plenty of features (can't select which drive you're installing to, can't find partial controller support games, etc)
And if you happen to live in Europe, the Middle East, or Africa, Mafia 3 is $25 before coupon

Deus ex is the best game this year and if you don't buy it I guess we ain't real friends.
/s
I really love it though.

For anyone who is a fan of 3D Platformers or Adventure games, might want to keep an eye on this game that's releasing soon
http://store.steampowered.com/app/409520/?snr=1_7_7_151_150_1
Hey, it's a 3D platformer. Those are always welcome on Steam.
Is it still a performance demanding game to run or has it been fixed up a little?
The Dear Leader

It's been fixed up some but it still is quite demanding and has spots that the framerate is spotty even on high end hardware.
Thanks. I'm picking up a GTX 1060 on Thursday, I think I'll grab this and hope for the best!
(My 3570K might be the thing to give me trouble)
Your CPU is plenty fine.

Yeah you should be fine, might have to turn a few things down but the experience overall will okay on your system I'm sure.
