I always thought the definition of ARPG was a loot game where items had randomized prefixes and suffixes. Games like Diablo 2, Torchlight, Dungeon Siege, and Marvel Heroes. Things like that.

I seriously doubt the complete collection will go below $10. If it does, feel free to PM me and go "ZOMG UR WRONG" and I'll eat crow.

Ive been working hard on my indie game Cosmochoria which is hitting Steam Early Access on Sept 29!
Its got a little naked dude with tiny nips freezing in the dead cold of space. His junk is shrunken to nigh invisibility. He plants seeds, they sprout and give him more seeds, he respawns a galaxy. He gets shot with fire in his face. He shoots dragons in their face. Aliens arrive. You upgrade your shit. You drop bombs like in Contra 3. You get stronger. You get awesomer. You jetpack everywhere and go through portals and find hidden secret pets that help you kill and lick your wounds and make time portals and its the greatest game ever created in the history of mankind.

Huge stack of GAF Kickstarter homies will be getting their steam keys in a couple weeks tops.

its like each time you back away from Steam for like.. a month, you re-learn the lesson that there's so many games you bought at full/half price that you still havent played and show up for cheaper so fast
im gonna promise myself for the 8th time that ive learned it for realsies this time

can you trust yourself?
There's some overlap, but the defining characteristic of an ARPG is that it has an action-based, real-time battle system where you're directly controlling a single character at a time. The Ys games would be good examples, even though they don't have random loot drops.
They're very different, from what I've played of Kingdom Of Amalur anyway. Amalur is more fluid and fast, sort of Darksiders I guess, whilst Remeber Me's is more measured and timing based. I like both a lot but for different reasons.
It's a real shame that Big Huge Games never got the chance to release the difficulty patch on Steam they had more or less completed before everything went tits up

Remember Me is so worth that price.
I might pick it up based on this recommendation. Been wanting to try it out.

Also I remember playing RE 4 once on a Wii. I couldn't aim worth shit cause I couldn't keep my arm still and I was young. So I panicked when I saw zombies coming at me and I could not move.
I think loot games are a different, overlapping genre. Diablo and Torchlight are both loot games and ARPGs. If you took out the random loot from one of them, it wouldn't stop being an ARPG.
An APRG is where there's a 1:1 between you pressing a button and your character doing something instead of you generally choosing a command and waiting for the computer to resolve it. I mean, in Diablo, you click to attack and you click each time you want to attack, rather than just clicking on an enemy then sitting back and watching.

"You have 1 new item in your inventory"
"I wonder what game this booster pack is for"
"Oh... it's just a 50% off coupon"
Also, at 80% off that's the perfect price for Remember Me

I never understood why they didn't come out with a Onimusha HD collection for PS3/360 during the HD collection craze or why they haven't made a new Onimusha game for that matter.

So RE5 is pretty much the only RE game I don't have on Steam... this $10 sale is tempting, but I should wait for the GFWL-less version right? Or if I buy this, will it convert to Steamworks after the switch?

C'mon now. We're talking 'bout Capcpom here.
Of course you'll have to buy it again.
No you won't, it will get patched, like every other game on steam that has patched out GFWL and patched in Steamworks.

I ended up giving up on RE5 since I couldn't stomach it alone. I find it all so very bland and uninteresting but I had enough fun to keep me going when I had a co-op partner but it doesn't stand well on it's own at all.
Having played it in the last few weeks, I concur. A great, underrated game with really good looking settings.
We need Advance Wars rip-offs instead of those open world survival games.
Played both of them already. Was fun, but I don't want to play them more.

I thought that game was straight up doodoo. Only thing it has going for it is its art direction.

I didn't since I wasn't haven't any fun. I might get through it if I get a new co-op partner though but I uninstalled it since no one ever wanted to play.
Going by how often I see friends playing RE6 I might have better luck with that and it also looked more interesting to me watching one of my friends stream it.

That Resident Evil: Revelations Complete pack for $5.64 in Russian monies is too good to pass up. Now to find a seller, also does anyone know if it's region locked?

This is why labels are bad, especially if they're kinda vague
Of the 4, you could say Torment isn't really an "action" RPG, being dialogue heavy, but the others fall firmly in the "action" category, really.
It's one of the few games Stallion and I agree fully onI'm really not sure what KoA ever did to you or your loved ones, but holy schnikes...

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
It sounds amazing, too bad Overkill ruined Payday 2 for me by limiting the body bags. Solo stealth is now not fun anymore at least for me and I had a lot of fun trying to solo/stealth the missions.
If they ever change it back I'll be there but until then I just hope for a dope soundtrack

Everything Capcpom is always region locked, you start from here and check time to time: maybe they forgot to lock something, just in case (><)

Hmmm, I'll have to check around, I got RE6 complete from a seller and it was region free.

I thought it was a DLC for Hotline Miami too until I read your post. Kinda disappointed now. I wonder if that means Hotline Miami 2 will have some kind of Payday extras/dlc when it comes out.

Just came across a post in the Destiny thread where someone called Dark Souls 'mid evil fantasy garbage'
Meanwhile I watched the GB quicklook of the game and... well... it's abundantly clear why the review embargo was after release.
If you're playing Remember Me for the first time, consider going with easy difficulty. It's not a hard game but I felt the combat is the least appealing part of the experience. What you're really there for is the gorgeous artwork and fantastic soundtrack.

I really really wanna buy Onimusha 3, forgot to buy it at the end of summer sale, then later when I checked how much I spent, I was glad I forgot. I know that port isn't good, but as I never get to replaying it in my lifetime, unless my master plan works and I live forever to play and replay all my games, it's irrelevant sorta.
Then again, why I would be buying it if for not playing? What if it gets patched, or HD version is released and it's free for current owners, or they finally remember that Onimusha exist and we get another game and loyalty discount for owners of 3, or I suddenly wanna play it and nothing else, or
are you sure about it? maybe it was row? *goes to check*
edited: RE6 is region locked, but I couldn't find complete for some reason.

I thought they removed that? You can buy body bags as assets before missions I thought? Might be wrong, I don't solo stealth myself but I do like doing it with a group sometimes.
It's worth it for the visuals and soundtrack alone.
Shame about the rest of it, though.

wat? you're insane. I'd never buy a game just cause it has nice visuals or a good soundtrack. If the soundtrack is so great I'd just buy that then.
