Thanks for the Faerie Solitaire tip guys...the basic is just like Fairway Golf but they throw in a lot of little extras as you progress that are cool for a Solitaire game...at 1 buck I picked it up and started playing a bit before bed last night and stopped an hour and a half later lol...
You did good.
Age of Decadence, I've hovered over the buy button so many times before. Still unsure if I should go for it or not. I do love cRPGs but there is just something about this i'm apprehensive about that i cant put my finger on.
Also is TF: The fall of cybertron any good? Im going to get deception, not sure if that will be enough of a Transformers fix or if I should get Cybertron too.

So you think we get a new humble? It has been a few weeks.

I believe we will, wonder if it'll be a big one though :X
It's a decent old school transformer-based game. It's not ground breaking, but it's fun and competent

Fall of Cybertron is good and has both Autobot and Decepticons scenarios
In fact get both the TF Cybertron shooters AND Devestation, they're all pretty good.

I could actually go for another Ubi or Assassins creed bundle, I didnt buy last time and they are never cheap.
I obviously can't tell you wether or not the thing you are apprehensive about is or isn't a big issue since I don't even know what it is, but age of Decadence is definitely one of the best CRPGs in the last decade.
It's the kind of game where your skills matter.
It's the kind of game where your decisions matter.
It's well written, occasionally funny, features an incredibly intruiging world whose secrets you'll need to uncover over the span of multiple playthroughs. It's hardly possible to see the really cool moments let alone all of them in your first playthrough. That said, a single playthrough stays between 2 and 12 hours depending on your decisions and skill builds, making it a great game for an occasional playthrough every once in a while.
The combat is very challenging and unless you have a character who is skilled through and through for combat you're going to be laying dead on a roadside right after your first fight.
It's the kind of game where saying the wrong thing at the wrong time can be deadly, where you sometimes just need to take the L and leave the mean bandits with your tail between your legs.
It's an absolute must play for CRPG fans imho

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is amazing! You often switch between Autobots and Decepticons - sometimes even during missions. If you're unsure, just watch this scene and then proceed to buy the game:

The tweet is from last week
I think they had a bundle planned but something came up that made them change their plan?
Oh, that's right the software bundle...

While I'm not overly fond of the War for/Fall of Cybertron games, they are pretty good games and you could do a lot worse. Though short, Transformers: Devastation is fantastic. I don't think you have to be a fan of character action games either to appreciate it. I really wish we could get a sequel to it but I don't think it sold all that well, across any of the platforms it released on.
For that Transformers fix, echoing Tizoc, I agree that it's worth getting all three.
I thought that was known? I bought 20for my Wallet ASAP, bescaus i knew this.

Apparently it wasn't. It was advertised to expire on July 5. And many ppl thought that it will last for 2 weeks.
I can't wait to explore Florence and other parts of Italy! I got my gear, my hidden blade and an awesome villa from uncle Mario!
So many mechanics that weren't in the first one already. Like throwing coins, sending prostitutes to distract guards, hiring thieves to help you out, removing posters to lower your notoriety, and I assume I will be able to upgrade the market in Monteriggioni.

I revived and killed an old god but since I was a piece of shit to everyone, nobody believed me and I ended up a lonely drunk.
I believe I asked that. I only got the base game since the dlc isn't on sale and I've been having a blast with it. First night I bought it played for 4 hours. I'll probably pick up the dlc later on, the base game looks to have a lot of content as it is.
If that's the case might as well get it now. I'll have to look into it. I wouldn't want to start over.
Can't speak to the performance, but it's fantastic and one of my favorite games of that generation. For a dollar, it's probably worth buying.
So, how does this compare to 2?Princess Maker 3: Fairy Tales Come True is out, in time for the Summer Seal.
I liked 2.

I had the weirdest sensation when playing Devil Daggers: it makes me feel sick. This is something I have never experienced before when playing a game (not tried VR) regardless of FOV and frame rate. I really like the game but it is playing havoc with me; I hope this isn't a downward spiral...
I have to try and get back into the game. I loved it to begin with but each subsequent area went downhill and I abandoned at the casino level.

You would think after a couple years Pillars of Eternity may have a better sale than $17.99 for once. I see there's a ton of negative reviews because they raised the price right before the Steam Sale. That's too bad. They promised to drop it after the sale, but I'm not sure that means we will see a better sale any time soon either. I may go for it anyway. If there's one thing I want from the Steam Summer Sale, it is a great RPG experience. I've been putting off Pillars of Eternity for too long...
Are you even at a region affected by the increase? It's 17.99 euros for me in Finland. The price increases didn't hit here.
Pssst. Check out Wasteland 2! Not nearly highly regarded as PoE. But personally I loved it and I feel many overlook it because Obsidian and Larian overshadow it. Still a great CRPG experience.
Yeah from what I've gathered, Pillars for the story and Divinity for the combat. Only played Pillars myself so far. Might be picking up the Divinity: OS CE since it gives you two copies so I can gift it to my co-op buddy.

Shadowrun series is one of the best written CRPGs in a decade. Well, 2 & 3 are but 1 is still worth checking out (play that first though since you won't come back to it after Dragonfall/HK) and you can play it in the Dragonfall engine. The price is a bargain!

Pillars has a better story, better characters and much worse combat. Divinity has a much better combat system (especially around magic) and quite a bit better sense of humor.

If you haven't played Dragonfall yet, then you might as well save the money.
It's regarded as the best one, and the rest are on sale all the time, so there's no need to let them pile up until you feel you actually want more.

Returns is more like an interactive cyberpunk-noir story, basically a feasibility study for the engine and the Shadowrun setting. It's entertaining, but the devs really cranked it up to 11 in Dragonfall. Honestly, the jump from Returns to Dragonfall is massive. Hong Kong is also really good, but whether you like it more than Dragonfall or not depends on how much you like the characters of both games.
I'd say go for all three and play them in order of their releases.

I just picked up Dragonfall and I'm not opposed to grabbing the other two. But really how necessary is the first one?

Unless the expansions changed something, I dunno that I'd give Pillars the nod over anything for its story. It's overwritten, the twist is truly awful, and the backer NPCs kneecap any attempt at immersion. (Excepting the Vulture. He is amazing.) And yeah, I know that part of the problem was a lack of time in the editing room; I hope PoE2 gets that kind of polish.
I feel like Tyranny was what PoE was supposed to be. Less combat, more dialog, with a much bigger focus on factions and roleplaying, basically.
Returns is mediocre-to-bad, but the writing is still OK. The sequels are vastly, vastly better in every respect, and among the best RPGs on the PC.
That said, if you want to play the full series, I recommend playing Returns first. It will be very difficult to go back to otherwise. It's not that the stories are interconnected in any important way, but more that it's a good excuse to live through more delicious Shadowrun lore. (It is a really incredible setting!)
Yeah... this price increase hit at a bad time. For brief periods during the sale I figured I'd get the PoE expansions, and Cities: Skylines expansions... and then I remembered who published them. Which killed those dreams dead.
Returns is completely unnecessary, aside from a few throwaway references. Playing it is a matter of completeness at this point, more than anything.

It's not necessary by any means and if your time is limited go ahead and start with Dragonfall, but it's rather short (~12-13 hours) and it gets the job done getting you in the right mood for the setting and letting you appreciate Dragonfall even more.
