These are the reasons I like the game, as well. The companion character is absolutely wonderful, the dialogue and VO is really good.
It's nothing mind blowing, but if you're a genre fan, you can do no wrong with Van Helsing.

75% off $19.99 is not $12.49. It's probably an error on your end since it's correct on mine.
edit: wait, is that $49.99? :O
Everyone in this thread. (well primarily 2 people who kept plugging it...)
If I were reading that thread afresh, I don't think I would have gotten any indication at first how terribad the game was.

It says 49.99

I'm going to be really bummed if Men of War doesn't get a deal.

There's a Polish game store (legit, but I hesitate to list it here given the CD Key site thing that went on a year or so ago) that is selling a Steam key for 19.99 in polish moon money. I think that works out around $6 or so, but before I start setting up a Polish VPN to order it, I'd like to know if it can still even be activated :-\
Yeah just caught that. Crazy.

It has been in a couple of indie bundles. I wouldn't stress too much about a steam sale.

Did the deals leak already?

I actually like the Trioptimum one better. A little more low key.
Each day has a highlighted daily deal based on the postcards. Skyrim will be tomorrow. I'm guessing it'll be in the next flash deals too...just because.
Chivalry (we haven't had this yet?) and prison architect are left.

Okay I can sell cards now. Can someone give me a to the point run down of how that works?
Also is there any reason to keep the cards beyond just having them in your inventory?

Shame I missed those, been wanting to get into the series for a while.
Weird, the only cards I've gotten instantly are my votey cards. My "total spent" value seems to be a day behind, and I figured that was their lowest priority since I've seen a lot of other complaints about it taking like 5 hours to give cards.
Dungeon Siege has already been $5 for the entire series, so I'd hold off for a daily on that one.

Is Dead Island Riptide worth buying?
I love State of Decay and Dead Rising. Kind of that action, hack and slash, lots of weapons and gore type of game...
I'm just wondering how well it was done..I never played the original Dead Island either.

No, it's just known that whatever postcard is behind the current one on the main steam page corresponds to a daily deal for the next day.

fucking zombies
Yeah, 'Straya
if anything, get the first one, not riptide

I think it is just an "ok" game with an "ok" implementation. If you are a fan of the style, you'll probably get a lot more out of it. Go with the first one and see how you go.
I second this. I enjoyed the original Dead Island. Co-op was very fun.

They'll have that effect on you. I have no idea how many gigs I had to download for cards.
It's probably possible but waaaaay too impractical. Inventory screen and all that.

With the interface I'd say it would be incredibly impractical if not impossible to play SS2 with a controller.
This is my favorite low key one, from The Swapper.
And Alan Wake has a great one as well.
Trioptimum background
Thankfully Torchlight II is a super reasonable 1.7GB. NBD

Well I bought Euro Truck Simulator 2 thanks to this thread.
Played it for 2 hours immediately, and I love it!
Backed my trailer right into the bay first try, using sequential manual gears, and no added HUD stuff.
Good mental workout that. Glad I have a natural talent for spatial awareness.
Everyone buy it, I don't care if you look at it and your first thought is "lol."
It is legitimately just a fun game, no pretences or airs and graces.

Very cool stuff.
I can't believe i passed up on SS2 when it was on sale TWICE.The only desktop background you will ever need
Fucking regret it now.. Hopefully it will go back on sale under $3 so i can play it.
No, this is.
I'm probably going to make this part of the title image for the next Steam OT after the summer sale.
Stew in your pile of regret.
Decision to keep every game I own on Steam installed at all times. Vindicated.

Thanks, still bought it. Time to see what the hype is all about.

I love this background but it drives me slightly crazy that the bottom of it doesn't perfectly fade into Steam's black background.The only desktop background you will ever need

Glad we've got another one hooked on this game.
I thought i would snag it at the end of the sale with my remaining $3 and saw today it was $4.99 and let go a darth vader NOOOOOOOOOO
Maybe i will grab it during the winter sale if the sale doesn't come back by the 22nd.
That's my #2 must buy when winter sale comes around.
I ended up getting Van Helsing as my last game instead of Euro. I was in the mood for some click,click,click,click,loot,loot,loot,loot.

Just got my first foil, value flatlined at $2 so eh. Might as well sell it, but it's a far cry from the initial $11 it was worth.
Dear Gaben, I only need Monaco to be on sale...
Thanks,
Kingven.
GAF tell me, how many games from your original wishlist did you buy... i only bought 2 games from my original list (there were 19 games)... and 7 outside the list...
