How does it compare to the other dragonball games? I'm really tempted to get that.
Any opinions on Lego Jurassic Park?
I'll be honest and say I haven't played many of the older ones. But as a Dragon Ball fan, I'm content. Combat is fun, it moves quickly and controls well, plenty of flashy moves to bust out. It hits all the right notes. I'm looking forward to tackling quests later with a friend.
Also, you can do Ginyu Force poses. The dream.
Gameplay wise it is below Budokai 3, Shin Budokais and Burst Limit, but above everything else (also apples to oranges since it's a 3D brawler rather than 2D fighter). In letting you customize your character and their moveset, it is amazing
It happened to me a few times in the past when I was buying too much. Like an autoblock that lifts itself within a few hours or a day.

I'm guessing buying something I'm not going to get to for at least 3 months doesn't make much sense.

Are we gonna have a "haul" thread or is this the place to do it?

Before the sale ends is there something in the vein of Dungeon Defenders kicking about unnoticed?
Me and the boy are currently enjoying DD but 2 doesn't currently offer controller support. We're looking for something easy to play, controller supported, local Co op.
I already have (off the top of my head):
Magicka
Monaco
Sonic ASRT
Many Lego Games
Portal 2
Battleblock Theatre
castle Crashers
...thanks.

I love it, but it's not the kind of game to put on for an hour or so, you have to invest a good amount of time to join up with a good squad before you travel to the front-lines and there's a lot to learn if you haven't played before. Also, it's very slow paced, with bursts of intense firefights. Watch some videos of the coop missions of Invade and Annex for an idea.
Have you tried Sanctum? It says partial controller support and co-op (don't know if this means local or not), but it's the same style of game as DD.
The Obscure games are a less obvious choice, also Rayman Origins & Legends.

There aren't going to be any more daily discounts. What you see on the front page is the last set of them. The "last day" is effectively two days, now that the encores are locked in.

Yeah that's what I though, I think I'll look for something where I don't need a lot of time to acclimate myself.

Is this a legit site? I've never heard of them.
The Rayman games are incredible. My gf and I absolutely loved them and even 100%'d both of them.
Maybe Westerado? I bought it the other day to play on single player, but I noticed it also has co-op and it might be fun.
Oh and there's also the Trine games. I don't love them, but my gf does, and they're well known for their coop.

I'm surprised there have been no mentions of Insanity's Blade, which is down to $2.69 during this sale.
So far, it's an AWESOME retro style game. Nice balance between 8- and 16-bit. It is surprisingly good. Most of these "retro" games on Steam are cheap junk, but this is something people actually would've liked in the Genesis/SNES era.
(Edit: Wrong thread - meant to post it to the Hidden Gem Recommendations thread, and just did - but worth posting here too.)

It's on my clean up list as I wait for cards to sell, how would you compare it to Volgarr? Perhaps not fair but it's my standard for this kind of throwback game more so than Shovel Knight.
I also have Castle in the Darkness on that list.

So far - and keep in mind, I'm still early in - Insanity's Blade is much easier than Volgarr. However, I'm playing on "normal" difficulty. For all I know, it's super hard on one of the higher difficulty levels. Graphically, Volgarr is comparable to Rastan or other arcade games from that era - whereas, Insanity's Blade looks like a very souped-up 8-bit game or early 16-bit game with extra effects that probably weren't possible at the time, and I mean that in the best way.

I've been playing a solid amount of Insurgency recently. It's a lot slower paced than most FPS, which works great for me because I'm pretty bad at the super fast arcadey shooters. It's very tactical, there's a lot of walking around corners with ADS pulled up, smoke grenades are key when trying to cross open areas, checking your corners is important, etc. It's going for $3.75 on Steam right now so it's dirt cheap.
Same. Discount isn't deep enough for me though, but it doesn't look like it's had a good sale for over a year now.

My haul:
Wolfenstein: The Old Blood
Metro Redux Bundle
Homeworld Remastered Collection
Prison Architect
Valkyria Chronicles
Dead Space 2
Company of Heroes 2: The Western Front Armies
A bunch of Payday 2 DLC.
Eh... spent a bit more than I intended.

Hmm that's a shame. Graphically it looks great but I was hoping for something as meticulously well thought out as Volgarr.

What do you mean by meticulously well thought out?
I've only played the first stage and boss thus far, so these are hardly long-range impressions.
In the first stage, there's at least one multiple path that I've discovered.
Looks great but I don't think it's a local Co op game
Hey man, check out Forced! I had a good time couch co-oping a few chapters of it, pretty great co-op. Very 4 Swords like if you have played that before.
I don't think the boy will appreciate an Obscure game. Looks a little scary for a young 'un
I already have Trine and Trine 2, we should give those a go.
I did want Westerado for myself but thought I'd hold out until the next sale. I'll quickly look into how the coop is, might warrant a purchase.
"You already own this game" ...well damn, better give that a go.
We've also played most of the newer Rayman games together.
Thanks for the help, all <3

Hey gaf, its time to get Schoolar of First Sin now or wait for a sale of Dark Souls 2 bundle (the base price is lower in DS2 bundle) ?
How many things are upgraded in SoFS ?
The story of SOFTBANS when using mods like Durantefix is real?
To tell the true, I will not play the game now because I need finish DS1 before. Plus, my pc is a notebook with a core i7 + gf 640m, the original DS2 maybe run better than SoFS...

Looking at the game's Steam forums - it doesn't seem like they did. Should be easily fixable though.
Sadly I missed out on the deal for GOG and also I just don't get anything from GOG anymore these days since I tend to like the convenience of having my entire collection in one place. Bound to Steam we are.
Thanks for all the feedback people, but I'm finding it really hard to justify paying so much for games that I know have been cheaper in the past (both 75% off and around 3 bucks) and that I'm not *too* hyped up on playing immediately with my already monstrous backlog. Considering passing on all of them and picking up Ethan Carter instead...
edit: Screw it. Went with Jade Empire after all, not sure if I'd really enjoy Ethan Carter's 'walking simulator' aspect, despite the occult mysteries being a huge draw. Still on my wishlist but gonna hold out for a bigger price drop.
I did alright, just bought everything on the last day for £70

Anyone know a solution to the error when buying Life is Strange 1-5 & 2-5??
I tried some copy paste of links solution in community section but that didn't work

I just double dipped on RE6 for $7.50. I've already played the game to death on 360 but the promise of the RE6 combat system at 1080p60 was too much for me to pass up. Quite possibly my favorite shooter of last gen. I figure worst case scenario if I don't end up playing it in the next few weeks I can request a refund.

Hahaha, when was Gabe on VGCW??
Capcom games last gen on PC were great. RE6 looks good at 1080p60fps, you could probably downsample it from even higher res with modern graphic cards, the engine runs super great like other MTframework games. Game is hella fun too.
I did the same. Reading comparisons to Portal 2, and seeing praise for its story/writing made me think I might really like that game. Wasn't even on my radar before.

I have an R9 280X so probably won't be able to downsample, but I'm sure it'll look great regardless at 1080p.

I have $8.88 left but Capcom broke my heart with the lacking RE5 dlc discount.
On to the inevitable Halloween discount.

In that case, can't you just return it? I'm not that up to date on what the rules are for that though.You're not going to play it before the next sale hits in the winter.
Edit: Oh, only 14 days. Nevermind!
