Go look at some screens/vids and decide for yourself, I would say.

if you never played the games before you wont have a problem. It's mostly a nostalgic thing (at least for me), but I found the new graphics in the second game to be actually good and a big improvement over the first one.
You can change back and forth between new and old graphics in real time

SR2 also had the superior Shaundi (in personality) and better crib customization (which falls under customization in general) .
Thank you both! If I can change the graphics then there's no problem. Bought!

Ive read lots of people in this forums say actually that.
After playing 2 I was not going to play SR3, at least not until it was dirt cheap, then I saw the first (and last) trailers volition released and they blew me out of the water. So I bought the game on release day, and had a blast I thought I was not going to fully esperience at first, at the end it was one of the best and most fun games I played on years.
If they change SR4 to the stroytelling of SR2 and a less wacky world becuase of some SR2 lovers and the new CEO of THQ, Im going to start kicking some balls.
Those are things that can be added to the new formula in SR4, or so I hope. I said that SR2 was worse than SR3, not that it didnt had also some great ideas.

Just traded CS:GO for Alan Wake Collection and SR3. Then I went and grabbed the SR3 DLC so I have $15 left. Any good JRPGs on Steam?

They're not BAD per se. I just don't think they're that great either. If you like the new ones sure. If you can "put up" with the old ones, I'd do that, personally. But I also played them that way originally so... rose tints and all that.
The Last Remnant is good.
The Ys games are good action RPGs...
Reccetear is kinda RPG-ish...

Anyone doing a Borderlands 4 pack?

Yeah, I saw that. Been debating on it. If nothing happens, I might pick it up on the last day of the sale. There are some games in there that I don't really have any intention of playing.

Trine 2 and that shot isn't even close to how good the game actually looks.

Yep. You'll get three more episodes.

Man that is a great trade. Check out Ys series for great ARPG (echo).

Looking at screens is somewhat more fun than playing it. Like JC2 is better in gif form.

Steam now stuck on "Scanning for Steam licenses updates..." after my Hitman puchase.

The Last Remnant, which you can get for $15 at Gamer's Gate. It's Steamworks so it'll activate on Steam no problem. Totally worth it for that price, and the PC version is godly compared to the 360 version. TLR has my seal of approval, and is probably one of my favorite JRPGs of this generation.
They're more ARPGs, but the Ys games would also be a good choice.
Woop, thanks!

Yeah, you aren't even able to purchase single episodes on Steam. You will get them all.

On the fence about Darkness...I may just wait till the next sale.

Totally on the same boat as you. I tried the demo and really, really enjoyed it... but it's $12.50... could easily buy 2-3 games with that. I decided to just wait till tomorrow and see what the deals are and make my decision then.
Here's a quick recommendation for one of those "hidden" cheap and lesser known games:
Tobe's Vertical Adventure
http://store.steampowered.com/app/105700/
Downloaded the demo. Love the music. Will probably pick it up.
Ughh, good god. I'm going to go well over 100$ at this pace fuck. XD Although the prospect of Saint Row: The Third+some DLC packs such as Purple ops and the season pass is tempting. I'm sure it would counterbalance the serious and often boring GTA IV. Then there's Just Cause 2 which will probably win the vote and of course Bastion+Monkey island bundle in my cart...
Unless its sub 20, you should wait. Sub 20 or bust bro.

Everyone should give this a shot imo
It's $0.99 on the store and it's really cool+fun. I mean there's not much to it but you're playing like astroboy or something in 3D. Apparently there was an iOS version of the game?

pc version is great you just need to install the Gentlemen of the row mod and the cpu speed fix.
Its more last gen graphics but the game and world was in alot of ways better then SR3,not as over the top but really fun.
Series is about having fun, yes its juvenile but if you can get over that its an absolute blast.
IF you have that much fun with SR3 and don't mind older graphics Can't recommend SR2 enough.

It looks good, the combat is a lot of fun and the story is solid.

No point-and-click adventure gamer should live their lives not having played any of the Monkey Island games.
Also thank you!
