But DS had the scariest level in the history of video games
I specifically said "devs" because I doubt EGS/Lizsoft didn't have an influential vote.
Seeing as CF is based in America, it would make perfect sense for the company to push for more a more generous offer (in regard to the bundle pricing), but that clearly hasn't happened.TheDarkKnight774

to each his own. When I first played Stalker I gave up at the start, hated it.
When I decided to come back to it a random time it quickly became one of the best FPS games of all time for me. Probably top 5.

For you folks buying Stalker, Shadow of Chernobyl and Call of Pripyat are both great, only buy Clear Sky if you're really into it.
And you'll want to get the corresponding "Complete Mod" for each game.

It's a decent 2D/sidescrolling action game, there's no hook like the item shop stuff in Recettear. The controls are pretty floaty, and it can't be compared to something like the Ys games in quality.

lol yeah... I'm not sure if I should.

Recettear is tempting after hearing good things, but I think I can pass for now. Maybe Winter Sale.
Sins: Trinity though will be mine - been on my wishlist. Rebellion is new and still expensive, and I'd rather try the original than spend the extra cash on the standalone expansion to find out I don't like it.
Thought about Stalker as well since I've wanted to try it, but I think I can pass on that for now as well.
Flash Deals are all recycled at the moment

The stories are fine, but the focus is on the pacing, story-telling and atmosphere. It's similar to Half-Life in that regard. There's also awesome animated story segments before each mission. I'm talking about Thief 1/2, Thief 3 is a bit different.
I put in a about 15 hours in the first STALKER and enjoyed maybe 4 of those hours. The rest was just unenjoyable due to all the issues I listed above.
What does the mod do?

I bought the first STALKER and this was my experience as well. I really didn't like the game very much.
Remember the game was stuck in development hell for years and played like it.
From what I understand the sequels were more sidesteps than anything else. I love the concept but I don't think the STALKER games did it right.

They are doujin games, basically Japanese indie stuff, so yeah, they are low budget. Recettear is fun and the item shop stuff is interesting enough that I'd recommend it.

If that's your way of saying it's one of the greatest games ever made. Totally agree.

THATS why that stuck out in my mind. Welp, now I have to get it.
they have pretty good reviews from everyone I know who played it. especially Recettear.

I hope nothing else good pops up in the flash deals. What with all the repeats I'm starting to forget to check 'em.
With mods it's one of my favourite TW games, so I say yes.
Rainbow Six and a lot of the rest of the Tom Clancy franchise. Also Dragon Age, for the same reason why ME is not being promoted.

empire is amazing imo
Deadly Shadows is a pretty fantastic game. I think a lot of the negativity it received was lingering bad blood from Deus Ex: Invisible War. It wasn't nearly as simplified, and in my opinion Shalebridge Cradle is still one of the finest horror experiences in a video game this side of Amnesia!
I...
But...
Er...
I can see WHY people want to name it a great or even the best FPS. The way the world reacts to what you do is genuinely engaging and the world itself is like none other.
If only they'd built a competent game around that really solid core.

I've told myself that every day so far. I've failed.
Hmm crap. I thought I was about done with the sale short of a few <$2 game clean up buys on the last day.

Nothing exciting, save $0.03 by buying a bundle, c'mon Valve!
Where is Arma 2, Capcom games, Bulletstorm, and so many others

Graphical tweaks and bug fixes mostly. Some AI stuff as well. Call of Pripyat is perfectly playable without.

Thief 2.
I references some things from the first game, but you shouldn't be too confused. It was actually my first Thief game.

I had a good time playing Stalker some years ago, but i had to stop because my PC wasnt good enough to provide a nice experience. Now i am buying the whole collection, really like the "feeling" and the "world" of that game...
I already know of some mods, that makes the graphics better... like the "Complete" one... my question is, what do you recommend me to install? wich mods? What is Stalker Vanilla?
Usually i am more concerned about gameplay, and so i like a lot some of the mechanics on these games... but i also like good graphics, as I sometimes give up playing old games that looks bad.

Almost 2 years
It's kind of blowing my mind. I remember buying it so distinctly; it was when it was part of a pack with a few other indie games for $5 and SpaceDrake was all sad because he felt like he 'devalued the IP'
It's so vivid, yet it was 2 years ago and I only have 4 hours clocked in
Steam, you son of a bitch

Everything else is discounted a ton, they just didn't advertise it. Sins Trinity is $5, for example ($10 during the sale normally).
Couldn't disagree more. With the Complete patch the game looks and runs great. I've never experienced any major issues. The gunplay is one of the best parts of the game...you just can't expect a starting pistol to be very accurate, that's all.
Call of Pripyat is more approachable and has a better difficulty curve, though the original with Complete still has the best atmosphere of the bunch, IMO.
