Skip Dear Esther, IMO. Get DR2: OTR or be nice and buy a gift
real answer = buy both
DR2 is a great co-op game if you have someone. Great times!
I seriously doubt that they keep tabs on "one time gestures".
They'll probably just offer it on case-by-case basis, disregarding past offers. Usually companies say "one time" so customers don't expect that type of offers in the future, not because they're literally one time offers.
Fable 3 is actually a good game, I don't get the hate for the game.

Everything I hate about it can be summarized by everything I love about it. Freerunning on the rooftops, with nothing keeping me company except the wind, some tiny slivers of music here and there and all the (restricted) freedom in the world was one of those moments when I just felt for sure that videogames can indeed be art. And then they surround you with formulaic "bad guys are shooting at you, GTFO of there!" setpieces over and over and over and over and over and over and over. And remember all those sweet soaring heights among the rooftops? Well, hold on to that precious memory, because now you'll be stuck in monotonous and uninteresting tunnels for hours on end.
It just felt like such a waste... to me, it was like they gave me the tastiest slice of cake I'd have had in a long while, and when I caved and decided to order a whole cake, half of it tasted like foot.

Should be alright, depending on your cpu, but I have a 440gt, which is about the same as a 9600gt and I run it on mostly high settings and it runs fine.
I can't understand people saying 2 is good, but 3 is bad. Not a huge difference in anything between the 2, really. Despite the obvious story and main character, gameplay is pretty much identical.

I've seen many people say they liked the first better, but I personally enjoyed Fable II more. But TLC is not far behind. They are both really good and The Lost Chapters for $2.50 is a great deal.

Does the Dead Rising 2 Off the Record have local coop?

STANKWOOOOOOD.
You double-dip instead of getting Ys. I don't even know where to begin. I am heartbroken and enraged all at once. Is this what feelings feel like?

Ok so I have a question regarding Indie BUndles and Buying Entire collections/packs:
I know that you don't get an extra copy to gift normally unless the game mentions it. BUT what happens if I store the games/pack in my inventory? I assume the Indie Bundles store as one giant pack, but what about those "Buy the whole franchies" or "buy the dual pack." If you store THOSE in your gift inventory do they appear as separate items for each game?

I bow before your Steam Sale expertise.
But that $25 limit would have been so beautiful.

ugh, i wish dead rising 2 was on sale as well, im not that interested in Off The Record, its just a small game compared to the main one right?
Not very hard to tag an account with a note though. Also I'm already resigned to the purchase of the game since it's only $10. I basically made it back already this morning sitting around for an hour doing nothing but hitting refresh on this thread.
I did however ATTEMPT to get them to do something about telling people about it on the store page. Most likely not going to happen though.
It's DR2, but improved

It's pretty much the same game. Feel free to get it now and get vanilla DR2 when next it's on sale (lol).
Wikipedia Page said:
Yes please.

Download speeds are so slow during sales. It's taking 3 hours to download Ys Oath.

If you buy the Fear pack do you get individual copies?
For example, I have Fear 3.
If I bought the pack and store it in my gift inventory, would I get a copy of Fear 3 to give a friend?

listen to the mad man
If it is made available through Steam's Steamworks, you will get it for free.
Steam does not allow people to sell Mac games separately. So in some cases, especially if an external publisher licenses the game to do the mac port, the Mac version is not added to Steam for that reason and you wouldn't get that.

That almost never happens outside of valve games. Always assume they don't. They'll explicitly state if they do.
Edit: Whoops I misread your question. Ignore.

I heard tears work as a lubricant for the servers. Or makes them slower. I forget.
Anyone know?

How is Trine 2 compared to the first? The first one felt like a chore about halfway through. Is this any better or just more of the same?
Mackenzie 92

Yeah, you need an earlier version. Not sure if it's 1.0 or later, but the Steam version doesn't work with mods last I checked.

Does anyone know if there's a setting I can change so that launching Steam doesn't automatically log me into Steam chat? I absolutely hate being logged into Steam chat.
I don't doubt it would be easy to tag an account, I just don't think they actually do that. It's just an extremely common thing for business to to say to consumers in situations like this.
With that said I understanding prefering not to risk it.
Hopefully they'll add a warning on the page for future buyers.
