For Oblivion, is Buy The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion® Game of the Year Edition Deluxe the one to buy? The extra DLC any good?

I didn't enjoy Oblivion on the 360 the first couple times i tried it, but I loved Skyrim. Anybody give Oblivion a second/third chance and end up loving it? Maybe mods improved experience?

Deluxe comes with some player homes after respective quests and supposedly the "most challenging" dungeon in the game for Mehrune's Razor. Refer to link for more info.

BUY BULLETSTORM!!

It is a steal at this price. I bought this game for 20 bucks a couple months ago and don't regret it a bit. Never played the multiplayer but single player is a blast to go through a couple times. Don't pass this one up.

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
Finally picked up Morrowind GOTY edition, think I'm finally done with this sale.

Do not listen to this man. The golden rule is you save Malkavian for the second playthrough.

That's no fun :p.
 
Bulletstorm scratches that creative itch of "what if I do this.. oh yeah" and then you get a popup for it acknowledging it. Much better than Bioshock's plasmids did for me.

I hated the QTEs but it was short enough to ignore them
Far Cry 2 has been "Performing first time setup" for the past twenty minutes.
Uhm, whatcha doin?
Try alt tabbing it may be waiting for Windows authorisation check. Happens to me a lot.

Wanna hear a good joke? Waste your time helping me! LOL!
Seriously considering Morrowind as I've never completed it. I have the GOTY version for my 360, but it kinda runs like ass.

It's too bad you can't turn Morrowind into a giant porn game like you can Oblivion though!
 
So I traded in a good amount of stuff to Gamestop and have purchased a good amount of things from this steam sale.

Apparently too much. Was trying to pick up Civ 5, and now I get this message -

"For the protection of the account holder, this purchase has been declined. Further purchasing will be temporarily limited - please contact Steam Support to resolve this issue."

WTF?
 
"New" flash deals: Oblivion and Bulletstorm.

Posting for new page:
No one has managed to make me laugh out loud yet, first one who does gets a Bastion code!

Man, Bulletstorm for $4.99 is the steal of the sale. A really solid, fast paced, action shooter. Some of the set pieces are just mind blowing.

Today is probably my largest day of purchases ever with

Morrowind GOTY $5
Oblivion Deluxe $5
Insane Twisted Shadow Planet $3.74
SHIFT 2 GIFTED to me
Burnout Paradise Ultimate Box $3.99
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory $2.49
Botanicula $2.49

Not in money spent but in all that content.
 
Ok, didn't think my contest would be that hard!

Hint #3

Taking US Steam store into account...

Seven of those games is under "Top Sellers" list

(same games might be repeated under different lists so...)

Four of them is under "Yesterday's Deals" list

Three of them is under "Today's Deals"

One of them is clearly visible under "Pack Deals"

And there is a (first party) game in the sketch that you wouldn't see on Steam in million years.

Everyone's being so nice giving games... I guess I'll do my part.

I have an unused Bastion code up for grabs. First one to make me laugh out loud wins it!

A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The bus driver says: ''Ugh, that's the ugliest baby I've ever seen!'' The woman walks to the rear of the bus and sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her: ''The driver just insulted me!'' The man says: ''You go up there and tell him off. Go on, I'll hold your monkey for you.''

Man Witcher 2 is kicking my ass.. Really need to get use to the combat system.

Roll, roll, roll. Never fight more than 1 enemy at a time. Don't bother with parrying. Max out the shield spell ASAP I think it's called Quen or something. The combat starts out extremely difficult but then becomes a joke towards the mid to end game.

I remember trying Morrowind on the original Xbox, and always ending up in an area I couldn't survive in.

Worth playing still?

Even though I'm sure Steam will act fucking dumb and not let me buy it. Dumb shit.

BUY BULLETSTORM!

One of the best underrated gems in recent memory. The only game this generation where I gleefully participated in score attack mode after completing the single player. The skill tricks are awesome and fun. There will be frustrating parts if you play on hard, though. But well worth $5!

Yes way worth playing especially with mods and no stupid save file size bug from the xbox version.

How's the controller support?

Any particular mods one must-have?

And nevermind. Steam isn't letting me spend my money still, and I'm not going to stay up all night hoping I can get it to work. Sorry Morrowind, it just isn't meant to be!

So I take it Morrowind is still worth playing? Of course I have yet to really play through any of the Elder Scrolls games even though I have Skyrim and Oblivion lol.
