11.99 for FO3 :lol
I remember in the good ol days with dailies when it was $3.75 for the regular game and $4.99 for GOTY editions. Thankfully other sites picked up the slack where Valve/publishers got greedy.
Just give up brother. I know you're fighting the good fight but it seems Capcom is hell bent on keeping the series on shitty hardware. It wouldn't hurt so bad if they didn't port every other terrible game they own to PC.

Yeah Steam sales definitely aren't what they used to be
Free Company of Heroes if somebody wants it

Microsoft and Sony are just producing locked-down PCs at this point, Nintendo on the other hand are at least trying something interesting.

It was 15 (incl. shipping) a few weeks ago on amazon.co.uk
Is it really though? At best, it's an evolution of the Wii U design- the capability to use your "gamepad" anywhere you'd like. But it's still neither a performance-focused home console or a truly portable gaming device. I'd actually be more interested if the mobile part was similar in size to the 3DS XL or PSP. That way I could stick it in my jacket pocket when I'm going out, utilizing it whenever I have the time and need to play. Kind of like a smartphone. A device with a 7" inch screen + controller on the other hand is something I'd have to prep to carry outside, and isn't at all pocket friendly.
A locked down tablet with HDMI out?

Only watched a few samples of your gameplay on the device but it doesn't seem too shabby. Wasn't expecting games to run half as well based on the original thread I saw about it.
Insomnia gave me some free time yesterday and I... I think I have the desire to play games again. Between Witcher 3 bloat and Watch Dogs 1 general shittiness I had to take a break.
Just discovered Faeria and this blend of TCG and Tabletop game had me totally fascinated. I fear the honeymoon will be short if some of the Steam reviews are to be believed, but I had a blast with it.
Oh and I launched Smash Up. Early access. The game takes a screenshot every 2 seconds. Quitted. It's EA but still...
And I'm considering buying Civ VI and abandoning all social life again.

People said the same about the Battlefield 1 campaign but I'm sure it took me about 6 hours (if not more) to finish it. Maybe I'm just getting slow in my old age =(

I have the classic collection on GOG but wouldn't mind double dipping on Steam for the game count. Never seems to go under $10 bucks though... (not since 11/29/2014 anyway)
Also it bugs me that it shows I don't own Fallout 3 even though I have the GOTY edition. I may have to pick up that +1 at some point as well....

There's nothing wrong with traditional console gaming Sony & MS are going for but like I said previously, you can make fun of Nintendo but never can say they don't try to innovate. I for one find the Switch to be interesting. Sure, it won't deliver as advanced visuals as PS/Xbox but let's be honest. It's been two whole console generations now where Nintendo has clearly opted out of the tech arms race and I haven't thought once "Man, there are no quality games on Nintendo platforms because of its lack of power".
If you think even more about it, the Switch is looking to be the console most focused on traditional gaming since the Gamecube. No dual-screen gimmick, no motion control gimmick. Just traditional control input (for the most part). Merging handheld and home console I can't really call a gimmick at all. It's even logical since Nintendo can easily get away with "lower" fidelity.
That's good actually. But I feel like I'll splurge once GOTY edition comes out or price mistake during sale

listen to the mad man
edit: omg so many terrible horror movies added to Steam today
Something that is interesting to me is that the Wii U was a smart solution to a very difficult problem (zero-latency video streaming over local wireless communications) that no one else before or since has solved effectively. And the Switch basically throws that out in favour of a much more conventional tech arrangement, but even from the reveal video seems to be a more appealing product for the same use cases as the Wii U and no more expensive to produce.

Eurogamer really love promoting Ubisoft games

I've bought way more Ultraviolet movies than games the last month. I might be hooked on a new thing.

Wait, you mean to tell me you don't have a jumbo-sized hunter orange fanny pack with hidden in-belt stash pocket near the adjustable loops?
Well I do but it's where I keep my marlboros

It seems the past years it started on the 29th most of the time, which would be coming saturday. But major sales usually don't start in the weekend, so I'm expecting the sale on friday.
I see what you mean, but as I spend all my gaming time on my PC, the Nintendo Switch seems to offer something that is slightly different. Combine that with Nintendo's proven track record of releasing great first party games and you've caught my attention. The best console that I've owned is the Nintendo DSi, the PS3 didn't do much for me and it's basically collecting dust now.

Some games get discounted pretty fast. In Fear I Trust was released a month ago and is 50% off on Humble Store.
Funnily, the game is less discounted on the Steam store, and is included in two Steam bundles which are not priced equally but should contain the same stuff.
Unrelated but the trailer for episode 3 of TellTale Batman is out.

cant say no to Sudeki for 1, been wanting it for ages and its always only 50% on steam (im sure I missed it in some bundle tho)
this is on Bundlestars btw, in a pick and choose bundle (1, 3 or 7 keys). the games are actually quite good, but you probably already own most of them

Halloween Sale will be starting this week...so normal rules don't apply
RE discounts dont bode well for the steam sale. Guess im skipping on REmake and Zero once again
Yeah, I thought the Weeklongs were no longer running, but if you click on Specials, you get 500+ offers, so I'm guessing the Weeklong page is just borked. The Weekend Deals running to Tuesday is new, though, so maybe they're going to change things up soon?

I beat it at around 25 hours with probably 10 crashes. It's annoying for sure and definitely should have been fixed. Game itself should have been fixed too, there's like 10 hours that could definitely have been cut out. It's still pretty fun because the combat is miles better than Darksiders 1.

Randy Pitchford's Pièce de résistance is part of the weeklong deal so there's definitely a sale going on. I think the store page is just borked. Happened last week as well before it was fixed a couple of hours later.
I am not knocking Sony or Microsoft for their approach, but as a PC Gamer I feel like I have very little incentive to buy into their products.
That's exactly my take on the matter.

weak sale imo, anything interesting has been on sale for cheaper (also already own anything that interest me)
Oh that sucks, might skip out on it then.

Interesting, looks like they raised the price on Dishonored 2 by ~$4. I guess that's to stop people (like me) that we're waiting to stack that 10% off voucher. It's still marginally cheaper to buy it now with the voucher (works out to $45, if the voucher still works).
This sale made me realize that there's really nothing else coming out for the rest of the year that I'm super excited for (pre-purchaseable via GMG, at least). I was planning on getting some pre-purchases with that extra 10% off, but there's really nothing to get.
Are there even any notable PC/Steam games coming out between now and the end of December?
