Mum hoping I won't regret that Evil Within purchase because of the strong urge for 4gb VRAM.
Have all the requirements met but that.
If I can play 1080p at 30fps I'll be happy.
So long as it's not all low.

I really liked Defenders Quest, one of the top 10 TD games imo
You won't be disappointed
It is indeed

Holy shit a actual good bundle.
That's a lot just in the 1 tier which is all I need.
Though I would like the yawgh.

I can't put into words how much I hated PixelJunk Monsters at the end. Forget that piece of shit. DQ is an awesome mix of rpg and td, you can replay and level up, approach levels differently while PJM was trial&error and afair choose a difficulty before every battle.
New Update/hotfix nerfed few things and removed few other things now players need to grind even more if i understood correctly
don't be deceived by looks, the Cat Lady is a great game, the best in $1 tier.
seriously, it is a great bundle, I can't even see one bad game in it.
And Long Live the Queen is not what it looks, it is one of my favourite games on steam
not favourite waifu or something (><)
Freedom = $1.05

Ok, i'll take your word for it and get in on that $1 bundle.
Now, to decide whether i want ms. explosion man or not. hmm.
Sounds like a GOTY to me.New Update/hotfix nerfed few things and removed few other things now players need to grind even more if i understood correctly

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.
You picked literally the worst example of the genre I can think of to base your opinions on as derExperte says...
Defender's Quest isn't really that difficult (and IIRC there is an "easy" mode even). There are some optional bosses later in the game that are difficult at lower levels, but that's it.
I'd definitely try it out at this price, it might change your mind about TD games.

Actually it is awesome, albeit due to its strong themes I think it is suitable only for an adult audience.

PixelJunk Monsters causes gaming PTSD. It has a terrible, terrible difficulty curve, it's near impossible to plan ahead for the levels without several long retrys, and it requires perfects to continue to advance to new levels. Since you mention it was your only TD pick up a copy of something like Defense Grid to clear the taste out of your mouth.
In all honestly PJM has a few good ideas, and I love the style. But it's a game that just feels fundamentally repetitive in an unfair fashion with how it is designed.
master collection = all the base games
each separate game collection = that base game + it's expansions/DLCs
There's also an hidden grand master collection which is outdated but includes all the games PRE-Rome2 with all their DLCs, but it's not discounted.
Shogun 2 is indeed the most polished and balanced, I've found of the recent titles. If Rome 2 were discounted I would recommend it as well, but it isn't. But yes, to stop any drive-bys, it has been patched through the entire year to be a much better game.
Shogun 2 is fine on its own, the DLC is great though, just extra factions with different play styles as well as Rise of the Samurai which is a completely different campaign with entirely different units and tech/research trees.
Other than that, I would also recommend at least also getting Fall of the Samurai, which is 19th century gunpowder/ironclad warfare. Again, all the DLCs for that are extra factions that have slightly different gameplay styles.
If you want to save the most money go Shogun 2/Rise of the Samurai/Fall of the Samurai. Fall is technically standalone but if you own S2 and Fall together or either you download the same game.
I would also wait for the prices to correct, because usually the prices of the collections should also be discounted to 75% off as well. Might just be an error atm.
Yes and no.
You can play the game using up to 6 of every class or do the challenge using only 1 of every class.
You can also play the New Game+ which is increased in difficulty.
Overall: OPTIONS !! =)

Much better bundle than I was expecting. When I saw The Cat Lady was going to be part of the bundle my expectations were significantly lowered, I figured the $1 tier would be like The Cat Lady, and Cognition Episodes 1 and 2.

The game has cards, we made sure to enable them and all! Got all my drops already, heh. You can go idling freely but I would rather see people PLAYING the game for a change
Napoleon feels like a more polished Empire. I haven't put a bunch of hours into it but it is indeed better polished but has a smaller campaign (just continental Europe) and fewer factions (France, Britain, Prussia, Russia have campaigns unless you mod them, plus a few more in MP).
I also believe Napoleon is closer to Shogun 2 in terms of mechanics (campaign side) than Empire, or there is more of that there. Also Fall of the Samurai if you haven't played it, which is even more precise gunpowder warfare in Japan. Love, love, love being able to call in off-map artillery strikes in FOTS.

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
Bah, I just bought the original Rome:TW Gold plus Alexander expansion for $3.74. My good old discs still work just fine but I never did get the expansions. Haven't played it in years either, but man did I love this game years ago.
Wow, 4GB's of VRAM for The Evil Within. That's quite high! Ah well, the other games on the 30th and the 7th (Mordor, Forza Horizon 2, Alien and Costume Quest 2) will be more than enough... and possibly FF XIII, if I'm feeling a little crazy. It's between that and Ethan Carter for me, though I already played 13 hours (irony!) of XIII already and was just shy of the big opening up. The doom state summon battles really sucked the fun out of things, having to lock down luck and strategy many times over. But I'd be willing to give it another chance, mayhaps.
That's one amazing bundle. I only miss The Yawgh so gonna pass on it, but the rest of the games are all pretty good.
it's a bit of a sim, a bit of VN, but mostly it's choices a game, a real gem in my eyes, as that's what we mostly miss in games, branching paths and choices that matter.
Not saying it's a game for everyone but close to it, I call it the real Game of Thrones game
The game has cards, we made sure to enable them and all! Got all my drops already, heh. You can go idling freely but I would rather see people PLAYING the game for a change
it has?! I totally plan to play it, just not right now, as I'm in a process of finishing some other games.
4GB being recommended is in line with what I was expecting as Wolf14 forcibly disables the "Ultra" texture cache option if it detects that your GPU has <3GB VRAM. I think I may soon sell my 2GB 670s on eBay while they're still worth enough to cover the cost of a single 970 (hopefully Lego Indy runs well enough on the 2600K's IGP). I was just going to sell them locally, but I've had no bites on my X360 listing so I don't like my chances of someone being interested in two dated GPUs.

Haha! Set myself up, there.
I played the game since it was a mod, from its predecessor in StarCraft to its iteration in Warcraft 3 and its spinoffs like Tides of Blood (which I still think is the best DOTA clone to date, and was better than it for a good while of stagnancy in DOTA), so it's a gameplay style with which I'm really comfortable. That being said, I've played a ton of it and when Dota2 came around, the thrill of PvP in it didn't hold as much of a weight. The vast majority of my logged hours are with highest difficulty bots, which, admittedly, aren't as l33t as playing players, but it felt new and fun to me.
The game, though, truly has transcended itself. To me, it's like saying that you don't understand the hype for FPS or a RTS. The game is no longer the game, and is now a gametype.
It's simply the undeniable
(sorry LoL, you've never been good)
EDIT: I meant to say, before the coming "Is Valdis Story worth the extra $4.00?" The answer is absolutely, unequivocally YES!

Hrmm. I mostly want the $10 tier, but I my backlog means I don't need that game enough to pay that much.

Crushing it inside will increase Internet capability though.
It's a bummer since it segments a lot of us from buying, I may end up going for the PS4 version. I was hoping to avoid it since with taxes it's basically a $20 increase on the price (though not as bad as some countries' mark-ups, I'm sure). iD Tech 5 doesn't like us!

Definitely wait for impressions, the PS4 version may end up not running perfectly too.
It's because you're sane. Dota fans are weird.
This is my experience as well.. I had never played a TD before and all of GAF was preaching that Pixeljunk Monsters was the best game in the genre so I figured why not start w/ the best...
never really touched a TD again.
edit: also DOTA 2 'it's the best moba!" well then I guess mobas are shit

You need to fix this my friend. My short list of recommendations are:
- Defense Grid
- Prime World: Defenders
- Kingdom Rush
- Defender's Quest: Valley of the Forgotten
These are the ones I've played at least 5 hours of and would recommend on Steam. I hear Defense Grid 2 is also awesome but I haven't picked that one up yet.
